GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1(c)(1)(a), Transporter and its Shippers
may mutually agree, on a not unduly discriminatory basis, to include in discount rate or negotiated rate
Service Agreements that bear either a multi-year seasonal term or a term of 12 or more consecutive
months of service, a contractual right of first refusal equivalent to the right of first refusal set
forth from time to time in this Section 4.
(c) A Shipper with a firm Service Agreement having multiple primary receipt and delivery
points subject to a right of first refusal may exercise its right of first refusal with respect to the
Service Agreement's Transportation Demand at only certain primary receipt and delivery point
combinations in such Service Agreement and in the same rate zone, subject to satisfaction of
Transporter's operational considerations based on pipeline configuration and design. The highest rate
that Shipper must match through the bidding process at Section 4.2 below if it wishes to continue
such service is the Recourse Rate. The right of first refusal shall be deemed to be assigned where a
Shipper holding such a right permanently releases and assigns all or a portion (volume but not
geographic portion) of the capacity under that Service Agreement, regardless of the duration of that
permanent release. Moreover, a Shipper releasing and assigning all or a portion (volume but not
geographic portion) of the capacity may structure the release so as to transfer the right of first
refusal for the duration of the release, even if that release and assignment is subject to a recall
by Shipper that would terminate that release and assignment.
(2) If Shipper intends to exercise its right of first refusal as described at paragraph
(1) above, Shipper shall notify Transporter through Transporter's EBB of that intent at least six
months before the termination date of its Service Agreement.
