GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
Releasing Shipper's offer to release shall be posted for the Bidding Period; provided,
however, that the Releasing Shipper shall have the right to withdraw such offer before
the end of the Bidding Period where unanticipated circumstances so justify and a notice
of withdrawal of the offer is posted on GEMStm or EDM or submitted in writing prior to
the receipt of any valid bids for such capacity.
Transporter will post offers and bids, including prearranged deals, upon receipt.
A Releasing Shipper may request a later posting time for posting of such offer, and
Transporter will support such request insofar as it comports with the Capacity
Release timeline in Section 21.1(f), below.
(f) The following capacity release timeline is applicable to all parties involved in the
capacity release process; however, it is only applicable if all information provided by
the parties to the transaction is valid and the Replacement Shipper has been determined
to be creditworthy before the capacity release bid is tendered, for index-based
capacity release transactions the Releasing Shipper has provided Transporter with
sufficient instructions to evaluate the corresponding bid(s) according to the timeline,
and there are no special terms or conditions of the release.
Further, Transporter may complete the capacity release process on a different timeline
if the offer includes unfamiliar or unclear terms and conditions (e.g. designation of
an index not supported by the Transporter).
