TRANSPORTATION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
33. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON TERMINATION OF FIRM SHIPPER'S
SERVICE AGREEMENT (Continued)
33.9 Unless GTN and Shipper expressly agree otherwise in Shipper's
service agreement, a Shipper who has entered into an interim
service agreement pursuant to Paragraph 18.1(b) or Paragraph 32
of these Transportation General Terms and Conditions may not
elect to extend such interim service agreement pursuant to this
Paragraph 33.
33.10 A Shipper paying a discounted rate or a negotiated rate will not
have the Right of First Refusal, unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by GTN. GTN shall offer Rights of First Refusal on a not
unduly discriminatory basis.
33.11 Expansion Project Open Seasons: When GTN has already announced an
expansion project, and following an original capacity holder's
notification to terminate or not to terminate, GTN may subject a
Shipper's capacity to the expansion project open season bidding
process, rather than a separate open bidding process, no later
than 3 months prior to the service agreement expiration. For
those Shippers that elect not to terminate, in order to match an
accepted expansion bid, Shipper may be required to meet the lowest
accepted expansion bid(s), which meet the minimum terms and
conditions that GTN imposes in the expansion project open season.
If there are no acceptable expansion bids received, GTN will hold
a subsequent open season for expiring contracts, within 10
business days, consistent with Sections 33.1 and 33.2 of this
Paragraph, whichever applies. GTN will satisfy expansion capacity
needs, in the following order, with:
(1) Unsubscribed long-term firm capacity that has been
reserved pursuant to Paragraph 32 of these
Transportation General Terms and Conditions;
(2) Capacity that is subject to Transporter's right-of-
first-refusal tariff provisions that is included in
an expansion open season bidding process;
(3) Capacity that is turned back to Transporter as part
of Transporter's non-binding solicitation for
expansion project related turnback capacity which
specifies the minimum term for a response to the
solicitation; and
(4) Expansion capacity.
