GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(d) A capacity release shall become effective upon
the awarding of capacity consistent with this Section 15.
Nominations for gas service utilizing the released capacity shall
be accepted at the next available nomination opportunity which
occurs on or after the time the release becomes effective
hereunder, consistent with 18 C.F.R. Section 284.12(c)(1)(ii);
provided that nominations cannot be effectuated prior to the
beginning time specified in the release. Horizon shall issue a
contract to the winning Qualified Bidder within one (1) hour after
the capacity has been awarded. So long as the winning bidder has
pre-approved credit, that bidder can submit a nomination
consistent with the above regardless of whether a contract with
Horizon covering the capacity awarded has been issued or executed;
provided, however, that a contract must be executed under the
provisions of the relevant rate schedule regarding timely
execution of a contract tendered by Horizon in order for a Shipper
to have continued service beyond the maximum time specified for
timely contract execution. If the original Shipper has already
submitted a nomination on a Day under the Agreement being
released, and if the Replacement Agreement covering the released
capacity is effective that same Day, the original Shipper may
incur overrun charges if his nomination exceeds the reduced
contractual parameters under the original Agreement resulting from
the release (i.e., if the original Shipper fails to reduce its
nomination, or does not adequately reduce its nomination, at the
first opportunity the Replacement Shipper has to nominate).
(e) Gas nominations for transportation pursuant to
released capacity are subject to the provisions of Section 7 of
these General Terms and Conditions. Gas nominations by a Shipper
utilizing released capacity awarded by Horizon shall constitute
Shipper's binding acceptance of the terms and conditions of the
capacity award by Horizon pursuant to this Section 15, including
Horizon's standard form of Agreement covering the Rate Schedule
applicable to the released capacity and the terms and conditions
of the Qualified Bid and the Capacity Release Request, in
accordance with Horizon's Tariff.
(f) Subject to the other provisions in this Section
15, in the event that there is no Qualified Bidder or Prearranged
Shipper for posted Eligible Firm Transportation Agreement capacity
during an open season, no capacity release will be awarded and the
Releasing Shipper shall retain the capacity sought to be released.
