26.3 Applicability to New Service Requests for Unsubscribed and
Available Capacity
Sabine and Shipper may mutually agree to Negotiated Rates
for any unsubscribed or available capacity that is requested
by Shipper in accordance with Section 4 of the General Terms
and Conditions of this Tariff.
26.4 Applicability to Capacity Posted for Bid by Sabine
If capacity is posted for bid by Sabine and Sabine has
determined that it is willing to consider bids at Negotiated
Rates, Sabine will state in its posting that it will accept
Negotiated Rate bids in addition to Recourse Rate and
discounted Recourse Rate bids. This requirement applies to:
(1) new capacity that becomes available due to the
construction or acquisition of facilities or the
expansion of existing facilities; and
(2) capacity which will become available upon the
termination of an existing Shipper's Firm Service
Agreement.
Bid Evaluation. For purposes of determining the best bid
and awarding capacity, the value of a Negotiated Rate bid
will be capped at the value of a Recourse Rate bid.
Right of First Refusal. An existing Shipper with a right of
first refusal may retain all or a portion of its capacity,
when such capacity is posted subject to Negotiated Rate
offers, (1) by matching the highest Negotiated Rate offer
submitted by another Shipper that meets or exceeds the
lowest rate that Sabine is willing to accept for such
service, or (2) by paying a Recourse Rate or discounted
Recourse Rate that is equivalent to the Negotiated Rate for
the capacity it wishes to retain; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall obligate Sabine to render service to
any Shipper at rates less than the rates set forth on the
currently effective Sheet No. 20 of Sabine's FERC Gas
Tariff.
