GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(i) Reserved Capacity. Transporter may elect to reserve for future
expansion projects any unsubscribed capacity or capacity under expiring or
terminating service agreements where such agreements do not have a right of
first refusal or Shipper does not exercise its right of first refusal
("Available Reservation Capacity"). If Transporter elects to reserve
Available Reservation Capacity, it will notify Shippers of its intent as part
of Transporter's posting of the Available Reservation Capacity under this
Section 4.2(i). Available Reservation Capacity may be reserved for up to one
year prior to the Transporter filing for Natural Gas Act Section 7(c)
certificate approval for construction of the proposed expansion and
thereafter until such expansion is placed into service. Transporter may only
reserve Available Reservation Capacity for a future expansion project for
which an open season has been held or will be held within one (1) year of the
date that Transporter posts such Available Reservation Capacity as being
reserved. Any Available Reservation Capacity reserved under this Section
4.2(i) will be made available for transportation service pursuant to
Transporter's General Terms and Conditions on a limited-term basis up to the
in-service date of the expansion project(s). Transporter reserves the right
to limit any extension rights provided in the Service Agreements and pursuant
to Section 4.1 of the General Terms and Conditions governing rights of first
refusal commensurate with the proposed in-service date of the expansion
project.
Prior to reserving Available Reservation Capacity for future expansion
projects, Transporter will first make such capacity generally available to
any Shipper or potential Shipper by posting such Available Reservation
Capacity for bidding through an open season for a time period of at least
five (5) business days. This Available Reservation Capacity open season
posting will contain the posting information required by General Terms and
Conditions Section 4.2(a)(i) - (vi) and will conform to the bidding and
capacity award procedures of General Terms and Conditions Sections 4.2(b) -
(g). When the Available Reservation Capacity open season is held prior to
the expansion project open season, Transporter will have the right to state
in the Available Reservation Capacity open season posting minimum terms and
conditions for bids that would be acceptable for consideration that are the
same as the minimum terms and conditions anticipated for the future expansion
project open season. In the event that the subsequent expansion project open
season imposes minimum terms and conditions that are materially different
from the terms and conditions imposed in the previous Available Reservation
Capacity open season, Transporter will hold another open season for the
Available Reservation Capacity that uses the same minimum terms and
conditions as were imposed for the expansion project open season. If the
expansion project open season is held prior to or during the Available
Reservation Capacity open season, Transporter will use the same minimum terms
and conditions as used for the expansion project open season.
