12. CONTRACT TERM EXTENSIONS (Continued)
12.4 Extension for a Portion of Contract Rights. If a Shipper with the
contractual right in its Service Agreement to extend the primary term of
its Service Agreement under a contractual rollover or evergreen
provision for only a portion of its firm contract rights elects to
exercise such right, the aggregate MDQs and aggregate MDDOs for the
extended term must be retained by the same percentage as the Contract
Demand is retained. Shipper may specify the MDQs it wishes to retain at
each Receipt Point and the MDDOs it wishes to retain at each Delivery
Point.
13. SEGMENTATION
13.1 To the extent operationally feasible, a Shipper may temporarily
segment its capacity into separate parts for its own use or for the
purpose of releasing capacity to a Replacement Shipper. Transporter
will respond to a Shipper's segmentation request within two business
days following the request; and if the segmentation request is approved,
Transporter will issue new Service Agreements for each of the segments
within one hour of notification to the Shipper that the request is
approved.
13.2 Transporter will permit nominations of forward hauls up to
Contract Demand and backhauls up to Contract Demand to the same point at
the same time for segmented capacity.
13.3 Segmentation without Capacity Release. A Shipper that wishes to
segment its capacity into separate parts for its own use is subject to
the same procedures as apply to the temporary capacity release of
segmented capacity under Sections 22 and 23 of the General Terms and
Conditions except that the Shipper's release of capacity to itself will
always be non-biddable. Such transactions will be treated as temporary
capacity releases with the Shipper acting as both the Releasing Shipper
and the Replacement Shipper. New Service Agreements will be executed
with the Shipper for all new segments. Such Shipper also is
specifically subject to the following:
(a) Capacity between a Shipper's primary receipt point(s) and
primary delivery point(s) may be segmented into separate Service
Agreements for a Shipper's own use, provided that such
segmentation is operationally feasible and provided that firm
capacity is available at and between the designated points;
