ARTICLE 3 - TERM
3.1 Primary and Extended Terms. The Primary Term of service shall be as
provided in the Firm Transportation Service Agreement between
Transporter and Shipper. Shipper shall have the option to extend the
term of the Firm Transportation Service Agreement for one or more
extended periods of at least twelve months each (such periods referred
to individually as "an Extended Term"); provided, however, that to
exercise its option for the first Extended Term, Shipper shall provide
notice to Transporter at least twelve months prior to the end of the
Primary Term, and for each succeeding Extended Term shall provide notice
to Transporter at least twelve months before the end of the immediately
preceding Extended Term. All of the terms and provisions of the Firm
Transportation Service Agreement shall apply throughout any or all
Extended Terms, except the provisions of Article 6 - Rates. Within the
first 180 Days following the date Shipper gives Transporter written
notice of Shipper's exercise of its option for an Extended Term,
Transporter and Shipper shall make every reasonable effort to mutually
agree on the rates to be applied during such Extended Term, and unless
Transporter and Shipper have reached agreement on rates before the one
hundred eightieth (180th) Day following Shipper's notice to Transporter,
the Firm Transportation Service Agreement shall terminate effective at
the end of the Primary Term or the then effective Extended Term, if any.
If a Shipper elects to extend the primary term of its service agreement
for only a portion of its firm contract rights, Shipper's MDQ, aggregate
Maximum Receipt Volume entitlements and aggregate Maximum Delivery
Volume entitlements for the extended term must be retained by the same
percentage.
3.2 Right of First Refusal.
a) At the end of the Primary and/or Extended Term as determined
above, Shipper may exercise a right of first refusal to continue
such service, provided that Shipper is receiving service (1) at
the maximum rate for a term of twelve consecutive months or longer
(or for more than one year for service which is not available for
twelve consecutive months); or (2) at any rate for a term of one
year or longer when such service is provided under a service
agreement executed prior to March 27, 2000.
To exercise such right of first refusal, Shipper must agree to
match the rate or rates, up to the maximum rate or rates then
applicable, and the agreement term which a competing prospective
shipper is willing to
