GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
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.
(c) Assessing Bids.
(1) Transporter shall assess the bids to assure that capacity is
available to serve the precise delivery point(s) requested. If capacity
is not available, Transporter shall reject the bids and advise Shipper.
(2) Transporter shall evaluate bids based upon their net Present

daily quantities requested.

within one hour of Transporter's notice to that Shipper of the pro rata
