GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
adjusted from time to time by Transporter. Transporter shall have the right
to reject any bids that: (i) are for a rate that is less than the minimum
rate stated in Transporter's posting of that capacity; (ii) do not satisfy
any of the other terms specified in the posting; or (iii) include conditions
or provisions that Transporter determines, in its reasonable discretion, to
be unacceptable.
(c) Assessing Bids.
(1) Transporter shall assess the bids to assure that capacity is
available.
(2) Transporter shall evaluate bids based upon their net present
value as set forth below, taking into account the price and term
offered. Transporter shall use the current Commission-approved
interest rate in calculating the net present value of bids. Capacity
shall be awarded, as set forth in paragraph (d) below, based on the
acceptable highest value of the bids offered to Transporter calculated
in accordance with this Section. Transporter shall publish the winning
bids on its EBB.
(d) Awarding Capacity; Pro Rata Awards To Equal Bidders. Consistent
with the bid assessment criteria set forth in paragraph (c) immediately
above, Transporter shall award capacity: (i) first to an existing capacity
holder that exercises a right of first refusal to match the highest value
bid; and (ii) then to the bidder submitting the highest value bid or if two
or more bidders submit equal acceptable highest value bids then pro rata to
all bidders that submitted equivalent highest value bids based upon daily
quantities requested.
(e) Binding Nature of Bids. All bids are binding; provided, however,
that a bidder may decline to accept a pro rata allocation of capacity
resulting in an award of less than the full capacity requested if such
Shipper notifies Transporter of that decision through Transporter's EBB
within one hour of Transporter's notice to that Shipper of the pro rata
allocation. Otherwise, if a successful bidder fails to execute a Service
Agreement within 15 days after such Service Agreement is tendered by
Transporter, (or such later date established by Transporter through notice
to Shipper), Transporter will then award the capacity to the next
acceptable bidder on the basis of the highest net present value, as
described in this Section. Shippers failing to return such Service
