TRANSPORTATION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
4. REQUESTS FOR SERVICES (Continued)
4.14 Right-of-First-Refusal (Continued)
(e) Transporter will notify the existing Shipper if there are no
competing offers or if no acceptable bid was received for all
or a portion of the contract quantity, pursuant to Section
4.14(d). Following such notification, the existing Shipper
and Transporter shall have ten Business Days in which to
mutually agree to acceptable terms for a new firm TSA.
(i) The existing Shipper is entitled to transportation
service under a new TSA upon the expiration of its
contract, if such Shipper agrees to pay the maximum
applicable tariff rate for all or a portion of the
contract quantity for which no acceptable bid was
received; however, to obtain a right-of-first-refusal,
Shipper must agree to a new TSA for all or a portion of
the contract quantity for which no acceptable bid was
received for a term of at least one Year. In the
alternative, Shipper may continue to receive service
under a new TSA if Transporter and Shipper mutually
agree within the ten Business Days to a discounted rate
and term. Transporter is not required to accept any
rate less than the maximum applicable tariff rate.
(ii) Should existing Shipper and Transporter fail to agree
within the ten Business Days, Shipper's right-of-first-
refusal shall terminate and Transporter will post the
capacity as available on its EBB.
(f) If a Shipper's TSA does not qualify for the right-of-first-
refusal under this Section 4.14, Transporter and any such
Shipper may mutually agree to include a right-of-first-
refusal clause in their agreement. To the extent Transporter
agrees to any such provision, it will do so on a not unduly
discriminatory basis. The contractual right-of-first-refusal
clause would allow the Shipper to exercise a right-of-first-
refusal using the procedures of this Section 4.
(g) In accordance with Section 8.1(k), no right-of-first-refusal
will apply to the firm capacity subject to the re-purchase
option associated with the East Valley Lateral described in
Docket No. CP06-57-000.
