commencement of service to the Replacement Shipper. Moreover, if

a potential Bidder does not meet the creditworthiness

requirements of Article XXVIII of the General Terms and

Conditions and Transporter is not able to waive these

requirements in accord with the conditions specified above, then

a potential Bidder may still qualify for participation in the

release program if it complies with Article XXVIII, Section 4.4

of the General Terms and Conditions.

Bidder shall submit to Transporter, in accord with Article XXVIII

of these General Terms and Conditions, a check in an amount equal

would incur if its bid is accepted and it enters into a service

agreement with Transporter; provided that if Bidder has complied

with Section 11.5(a) above, Transporter shall waive this

requirement.
