GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
Subject to the provisions in Sections
15.10(d)(1), (2) and (3) below, the selection of winning Qualified
Bid(s) among Qualified Bids (or combinations thereof) of equal
Winning Bid Value is based on the following order of preference:
(i) pro rata, if possible; (ii) preference for a Qualified Bid
with the highest Maximum Bid Volume; (iii) preference for a
Qualified Bid with the lowest Minimum Bid Volume; and (iv) first
come, first served.
The specific Qualified Bid selection procedure is
as follows:
(1) Identify the Winning Bid Value. If there is
only one Qualified Bid, or combination of Qualified Bids, which
create the Winning Bid Value, such Qualified Bid(s) shall be
awarded the released capacity.
(2) In order to break ties, identify all
Qualified Bids which, alone or in combination with other Qualified
Bids, can create the Winning Bid Value. Rank order these
Qualified Bids in order of their Unit Bid Value from highest to
lowest. Allocate the Capacity Release Request capacity first to
the Maximum Bid Volume of each Qualified Bid with the highest Unit
Bid Value; allocate any remainder to the Maximum Bid Volume of
each Qualified Bid with the next highest Unit Bid Value; and so
forth. If, at any step, the available Capacity Release Request
capacity is less than the combined Maximum Bid Volumes of
Qualified Bids with equal Unit Bid Values, then the Capacity
Release Request capacity shall be allocated on a pro rata basis to
each Qualified Bid based on its Maximum Bid Volume. To the extent
such a pro rata allocation would result in a capacity allocation
to one or more Qualified Bid(s) below its Minimum Bid Volume, then
such below-minimum Qualified Bids shall be discarded in their
entirety and the Capacity Release Request capacity shall instead
be allocated on a pro rata basis (based on the Maximum Bid Volume
of each Qualified Bid) among the remaining Qualified Bid(s).
(3) In the event that the previous Section
15.10(d)(2) pro rata allocation procedure does not result in a
single winning combination of Qualified Bid(s) with the Winning
Bid Value, then Section 15.10(d)(2) shall be disregarded and the
winning Qualified Bid(s) shall be determined in the following
manner:
