(b) Future Sales of Capacity: (Continued)
Capacity that is reserved pursuant to this Paragraph 18.1(b)
will be made available for transportation service on an
interim basis up to the commencement date of the service
agreement for such capacity. For such interim service
agreements, GTN reserves the right to limit Shipper extension
rights, including the right of first refusal, within the
service agreement. Transporter will indicate in any open
season posting of this capacity any limitations on extension
rights that will apply to such interim transportation service.
(c) Available Capacity:
GTN will post available capacity on its Internet website. A
requestor that submits a valid request may submit a bid via
the website for the available capacity subsequent to GTN's
posting of such capacity on the website. The Bid Period will
be a minimum of 1 business day for capacity available for up
to 1 month; a minimum of 3 business days for capacity
available for greater than one month but less than one year;
and a minimum of 5 business days for capacity available for
one year or more. All bids not withdrawn prior to the close
of the Bidding Period shall be binding. At the end of the
Bidding Period, GTN will evaluate the bids and determine the
bid(s) having the greatest economic value as determined in
Paragraph 18.1(e).
If GTN determines that no bids satisfy the open season
criteria, GTN will post the capacity on its website as
available unsubscribed capacity. GTN will award such capacity
on a first-come, first-served basis to shippers that offer the
maximum recourse rate or an acceptable discounted or
negotiated rate.
(d) After the close of the Bidding Period, GTN may tender a
Service Agreement for execution to the requestor(s) submitting
the bid(s) having the greatest economic value for the capacity
available, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 18.1(f).
