acceptable bids, then Releasing Shipper shall either include such minimum
rate in its Release Request or include in its Release Request a statement
that the minimum rate has been provided to Transporter. If Releasing
Shipper elects to provide the minimum rate solely to Transporter, the
Transporter shall not reveal such rate until after the awarding of the

accord with Section 12.11(d), and if so, the specific conditions
