GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(continued)
15.15 (F) (continued)
(3) If more than one bid is received, Transporter shall utilize the following criteria to
determine the "best bid":
(a) highest rate;
(b) net revenue;
(c) present value; or
(d) any other non-discriminatory method specified by the Releasing Shipper in its
notice of Subsection 15.15(A).
(4) In the event that more than one bid qualifies as the "best bid," then priority shall
be allocated based on the method specified by the Releasing Shipper in its notice of
Subsection 15.15(A). Priority bidders are not required to accept any quantity of gas
less than the full quantity bid and may withdraw their bid at the time such allocation
of the capacity is offered, unless the bidder has indicated that it would be willing
to accept a lesser quantity. Transporter will contract with the bidder(s) receiving
priority that complies with Subsections 15.10 and will implement the capacity release
pursuant to Subsection 15.15(B) above. Transporter shall so notify Releasing
Shipper.
(G) A successful bidder under Subsection 15.15(F) shall contract with Transporter under Rate
Schedule FT, Rate Schedule EFT, or Rate Schedule LFT, as provided for in this section, for
the Capacity pursuant to the terms of its bid and shall become a Replacement Shipper under
this tariff. Not withstanding any provision of Rate Schedule FT, Rate Schedule EFT, or Rate
Schedule LFT, the Replacement Shipper's rights under the release and assignment shall not
be superior to those of the Releasing Shipper.
(H) A bid is an offer by the bidder to accept from Transporter the Capacity posted on GLConnect
pursuant to Subsection 15.15(C). The bid may be withdrawn or adjusted upward but not
downward during the open season, and at the close of the open season shall remain open
until the priority bidder becomes an FT, EFT, or LFT Shipper pursuant to Subsection
15.15(G) above. Contingent bids that meet the criteria set forth by the Releasing Shipper
in Section 15.15(A)(13) above will be allowed. If the bid is not accepted or if the bidder
fails to satisfy the applicable provisions of Transporter's Rate Schedule FT, Rate Schedule
EFT, or Rate Schedule LFT, as appropriate, and become a Replacement Shipper, then
Transporter will refund any payment made pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the General Terms
and Conditions of Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1.
(I) Releasing Shipper may provide to Transporter, at the time of submission of the written
notice required by Subsection 15.15(A), the name and bid terms of a pre-arranged
Replacement Shipper. Transporter shall post the pre-arranged Replacement Shipper's bid on
GLConnect at the same time that the Subsection 15.15(A) notice is posted. At the
conclusion of the open season, if the pre-arranged Replacement Shipper is not the priority
bidder under Subsection 15.15(F), then the pre-arranged Replacement Shipper shall have
until 2:30 p.m. (C.C.T.) on the same day the open season ended in which to match the bid of
the priority bidder under Subsections 15.15(F)(3) or 15.15(F)(4). In the event that the
pre-arranged Replacement Shipper matches the bid of the priority bidder, then the pre-
arranged Replacement Shipper shall become the priority bidder under Subsections 15.15(F)(3)
or 15.15(F)(4).
