In the event that Transporter receives a bid at a
Negotiated Rate or a rate under a Negotiated Rate Formula that
includes a revenue guarantee such as a usage charge associated
with a minimum volume commitment, Transporter shall calculate
the present value per unit of the rate generated by such bid,
to the extent of any revenue guarantee such as a minimum
volume commitment, in the same manner that it determines the
present value of the per unit Transportation Demand Rate. In
the event that such a bid also includes a demand or
reservation rate, the present value of such bid shall be the
sum of the present value of the Transportation Demand Rate and
the present value of the rate generated by the revenue
guarantee.
3.4 Transportation Contracting. Submission of
a bid in the form of a Service Request Form pursuant to
Section 3.1 hereof shall constitute a binding offer by the
submitting Shipper to enter into a Gas Transportation Contract
incorporating the terms of the bid. A prospective Shipper,
however, may withdraw its bid prior to the close of the period
set forth in Section 3.1; provided that such prospective
Shipper may not resubmit a lower bid, but may submit a higher
bid for the same capacity. In the event a potential Shipper's
bid is accepted, and such potential Shipper otherwise meets
all availability conditions of Section 1 of this Rate
Schedule, including Transporter's Financial Creditworthiness
criteria as set forth in Section 3 of the General Terms and
Conditions, Transporter shall forward to Shipper for execution
a Gas Transportation Contract which sets forth the terms of
such bid. Shipper shall have five (5) business days from the
date specified in the letter accompanying the Gas
Transportation Contract to execute and return to Transporter
the Gas Transportation Contract; service shall not commence
until the Gas Transportation Contract has been executed.
3.5 Pre-Arranged Deals. Transporter may enter into a
pre-arranged service agreement for capacity with any prospective
Shipper provided that Transporter will post the terms of the
pre-arranged service agreement on its EBB and other parties will
have the opportunity to acquire the capacity by submitting a bid
for the pre-arranged capacity which, if awarded, would have a
higher present value (PV) to Transporter as determined in
accordance with Section 3.3 hereof. For the purpose of its
evaluation, Transporter may consider the aggregate of two or
more bids and award the available capacity to the combination of
bids that result in the highest PV to Transporter. If another
prospective Shipper submits a bid with a higher PV to
Transporter for this pre-arranged capacity, the prospective
Shipper with thepre-arranged service agreement will have a
one-time right within two (2) business day of notification to
match the higher bid?s PV in order to obtain the capacity. If
the prospective Shipper with the pre-arranged service agreement
elects not to match a higher competing bid, the capacity will be
awarded to the highest bidder whose bid, if accepted, would
have a higher PV to Transporter.
