GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
selection shall be made on a basis that is not unduly discriminatory. Shipper
shall have thirty (30) Days to match the offer in terms of price, quantity and
duration; provided, however, that Shipper shall not be required to pay any
rate higher than the maximum applicable Recourse Rate. If the Shipper fails
to match the offer presented by Transporter, Transporter shall enter into a
firm Gas Transportation Contract with the person submitting the competing
offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the offer.
12.4 Iteration. Transporter shall post any matched offer below the
maximum Recourse Rate on its Interactive Internet Website for an additional
thirty (30) Days, during which time bids may be submitted at a higher price.
Shipper again will be given an opportunity to match any higher bid. This
process will iterate until either the Shipper has agreed to pay Transporter's
maximum Recourse Rate, the Shipper fails to match an offer, or no higher bid
is submitted.
12.5 Renegotiation. If no bids are submitted at the maximum Recourse
Rate and Transporter refuses to accept a lower bid, or if no competing offers
are submitted, Transporter may abandon service to Shipper unless Shipper
agrees to pay the maximum Recourse Rate for a period of one Year and one Day,
or if Transporter and Shipper negotiate the terms and conditions of a Gas
Transportation Contract extension.
12.6 Effective Rate During Renegotiation. If, at the expiration of
Shipper's Gas Transportation Contract, the iterative process of Section 12.4
is still in process or Shipper and Transporter are negotiating the terms of a
new Gas Transportation Contract pursuant to Section 12.5, then Transporter
shall continue to provide firm transportation service to Shipper pursuant to
the terms and conditions, including the pricing terms, of the expired Gas
Transportation Contract.
