GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
11. SERVICE AGREEMENT AND SERVICE CONDITIONS (Continued)
11.6 Post-Termination Obligations. Upon termination, a Service
Agreement will cease to have any force or effect, save as to any
unsatisfied obligations or liabilities of either party arising under the
Service Agreement prior to the date of such termination, or arising
thereafter as a result of such termination. Provided, however that this
provision will not supersede any abandonment authorization which may be
required.
11.7 Extension of Firm Service Agreement(s) Prior to Expiration. Prior
to the expiration of the term of a firm Service Agreement(s) and prior
to Transporter posting the availability of such capacity for competitive
bid subject to a Shipper's right of first refusal, if any, Transporter
and Shipper may mutually agree to negotiate the terms of Shipper's
agreement(s) in exchange for Shipper's extension of all or a part of its
existing service(s) under its agreement(s). Extensions of such Service
Agreement(s) will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis in a not unduly
discriminatory manner. To the extent that Transporter and Shipper have
mutually agreed to extend such service, the posting and bidding
requirements of Section 25.2(b) of the General Terms and Conditions of
the Tariff will not apply.
11.8 Shipper Buy-Out of Firm Service Agreement.
(a) General. When Transporter is negotiating with a Shipper that
is willing to subscribe to posted unsubscribed capacity or
capacity offered in an open season, Transporter may agree to
allow such Shipper the right to buy out of the resulting
Service Agreement in its entirety.
(b) Eligibility. Transporter, on a not unduly discriminatory
basis, will only agree to a buy-out if, in Transporter's
reasonable judgment, it is financially beneficial to
Transporter.
