GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
35. CONTRACT EXTENSION AND RENEWAL (Continued)
35.4 Mojave shall not be obligated to accept any offer for
expiring right-of-first-refusal capacity at less than the
maximum applicable tariff rate. For purposes of (1)
determining best bids, (2) awarding capacity and (3) applying
matching procedures, Mojave will utilize the evaluation
criteria of Section 34.7(b) of the General Terms and
Conditions, and will include any contractual transportation
usage revenue commitments in the application of such
criteria. In the event Mojave accepts an offer, Mojave shall
inform the existing Shipper of the terms of such offer. The
existing Shipper shall have 10 business days in which to
inform Mojave that it agrees to match such offer as to the
entire quantity or any partial quantity. Such agreement
shall be irrevocable. The existing Shipper or the offering
Shipper, as appropriate, shall execute a Service Agreement
containing the terms offered or matched. If the existing
Shipper matches and retains only a partial quantity of one or
more of the acceptable offer(s), the remainder of the
capacity shall be allocated to the winning offering
Shipper(s). If Mojave accepts an offer which is a negotiated
rate, the highest rate that the existing Shipper must match
if it desires to retain all or a portion of its existing
capacity is the maximum applicable tariff rate.
35.5 Transporter will notify the existing shipper if no acceptable
bid was received for all or a portion of the contract
quantity, pursuant to Section 35.4 above. Following such
notification, the existing Shipper and Transporter shall have
ten Business Days in which to mutually agree to acceptable
terms for a new firm TSA. The existing Shipper is entitled
to transportation service under a new TSA upon the expiration
of its contract if such Shipper agrees to pay the maximum
applicable tariff rate for all or a portion of the contract
quantity for which no acceptable bid was received; however,
to obtain a right-of-first-refusal, Shipper must agree to a
new TSA for all or a portion of the contract quantity for
which no acceptable bid was received for a term of at least
one Year. In the alternative, Shipper may continue to
receive service under a new TSA if Transporter and Shipper
mutually agree within the ten Business Days to a discounted
rate and term. Transporter is not required to accept any
rate less than the maximum applicable tariff rate.
