33. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON TERMINATION OF FIRM SHIPPER'S SERVICE
AGREEMENT
Firm Shippers (original capacity holders) under GTN's firm transportation
rate schedules of Third Revised Volume No. 1-A who hold capacity for
terms greater than or equal to one year at the maximum authorized
reservation charge or rate shall have the right of first refusal at the
expiration of their service agreements, subject to the procedures
outlined below. The right of first refusal does not apply to interim
service agreements for capacity that has been reserved for a future
expansion project as set forth in Section 32 of these Transportation
General Terms and Conditions, or capacity that has been sold on a pre-

expiration date of their service agreements whether they elect to
terminate or not to terminate the service agreements. However, in the

original capacity holder's service agreement will expire and whether the
original capacity holder has either elected or not elected to terminate
