GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(CONTINUED)
29.3 Procedure.
(a) Transporter shall notify Shipper no later than three
(3) Months prior to the expiration of the Agreement
whether any outstanding bona fide offers exist for
Transporter's capacity at a higher rate and/or for a
longer term which could be satisfied by the
relinquishment of Shipper's capacity. Offers will be
deemed bona fide if made in compliance with Section
27 of these General Terms and Conditions. Any party
that has an outstanding request for firm service
under Section 27 of these General Terms and
Conditions shall be notified and given the
opportunity to specify the rate and term it is
willing to offer for Shipper's capacity. If
Transporter has received any such offers, Transporter
shall inform Shipper of the rate, up to the maximum
rate, and the term, up to a maximum time allowable by
the Commission, that has been offered for Shipper's
capacity. Shipper shall notify Transporter within
ten (10) Business Days after notification whether it
desires to match the rate and term offered, and, if
so, to provide a binding commitment in writing to
Transporter to execute a contract containing said
terms within the next thirty (30) Business Days.
(b) If Transporter does not notify Shipper of the
existence of any offers for Shipper's capacity under
Section 29.3(a), Transporter and Shipper may
negotiate the terms and conditions of a new
Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall
Shipper have any automatic right to renew service at
a negotiated or discounted rate; provided further,
however, Shipper may select the term of the Agreement
after agreeing to pay maximum rates, and all
applicable surcharges.
