4.2 Auctions of Capacity that Becomes Available. As capacity becomes available on Transporter's system
for firm services under the circumstances set forth in Section 4.1 above or otherwise, such capacity shall be
made available for bidding provided that it is not previously committed and capacity remains available.
(a) EBB Posting Procedure. Capacity that becomes or will become available will be posted by
Transporter on its EBB for at least the following periods:
(1) five business days for firm capacity that will be available for a term of twelve
months or longer;
(2) three business days for firm capacity that will be available for a term of at least
five but less than twelve months; and
(3) one hour ending at 10:00 a.m. (E.T.) for firm capacity that will be available for a
term of less than five months.
Transporter's posting shall include the following information regarding the available capacity: (i)
the daily and other applicable quantity of service available from each receipt point to each delivery point;
(ii) the Recourse Rate as set forth in this Tariff; (iii) any applicable restrictions; (iv) whether the
capacity is subject to an existing right of first refusal; (v) any minimum price or other terms applicable to
the capacity; and (vi) the date when bids are due to Transporter. All posted capacity shall be subject to the
20-year limitation for long term service agreements unless otherwise stated in the posting. The due date set
by Transporter for bids shall be in accordance with the posting periods set forth above in this Section
4.2(a).
(b) Bidding Procedure. A potential Shipper may submit multiple bids, each higher than its
preceding bid, for all or any portion of the capacity or term of service made available by Transporter. Such
bids shall be submitted electronically through Transporter's EBB and shall be displayed by Transporter on the
EBB, without revealing the identity of the bidder, during the bidding period. Bidder shall specify the
monthly reservation charge (or other firm or demand charge(s), if applicable, herein referred to collectively
as Reservation Charge) it is bidding for the service. Bidder also shall provide to Transporter a valid
request for service fully complying with Section 3 (Requests for Service) of the General Terms and Conditions.
The price bid for the monthly reservation charge shall be expressed per Dth and shall be expressed to the
nearest thousandth of one dollar ($0.000). The bid shall not exceed the then-effective Maximum Base
Reservation Charge for the applicable service set forth in this Tariff. In addition to the bid price, Bidder
shall pay all applicable commodity charges, demand and commodity surcharges and any other applicable charges,
as they may be adjusted from time to time by Transporter. Transporter shall have the right to reject any bids
that: (i) are for a rate that is less than the minimum rate stated in Transporter's posting of that capacity;
(ii) do not satisfy any of the other terms specified in the posting; or (iii) include conditions or provisions
that Transporter determines, in its reasonable discretion, to be unacceptable.
