GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
bidder, if any, on the basis of the next highest NPV. As provided in
Section 5.4, if Transporter determines that no other bid is acceptable,
or if such Replacement Bidder rejects Transporter's offer made as a
result of said failure of the Successful Bidder to execute a Service
Agreement, the Successful Bidder shall remain liable for the capacity
requested in the bid based upon the rates, terms and other conditions
proposed therein and accepted by Transporter on the basis of the
electronic contract executed by Transporter on PASSKEY. Similarly, until
a written Service Agreement with a Replacement Bidder is executed, the
Successful Bidder shall remain liable for the capacity pursuant to the
electronic contract.
5.6 Tiebreaker
If more than one bid has the same NPV, Transporter shall determine the
Successful Bidder based on the commodity rates bid by the equal bidders.
In that analysis, any commodity rate bid above the applicable maximum
commodity rate shall be deemed equal to the applicable maximum commodity
rate. If the commodity rates are equal or are deemed equal, Transporter
shall determine the Successful Bidder by the order in which the bids are
received by Transporter. Bids received by facsimile will be deemed
received at the time noted on the Transporter's facsimile transmission
sheet. In addition, if several bidders for minimum size packages of
capacity have, combined, the same NPV as a singular Bidder for a larger
size package, the Bidder for the larger size package will be the
Successful Bidder.
5.7 Change of Primary Points
A request for a change of primary point under Section 4.7 of Rate
Schedule FT-A, Section 4.1 of Rate Schedules FT-GS or FT-G, Section 4.6
of Rate Schedule NET 284 or Section 4.6 of Rate Schedule FT-BH or Section
4.6 of Rate Schedule FT-IL shall automatically be deemed the first-in-
time bid for purposes of the subsequent open season with an NPV of zero
except if the applicable reservation charges for the service have changed
to create a positive NPV. If more than one request for change of primary
point(s) is received, the first-in-time bid shall be determined by the
order in which the requests are received by Transporter. Notwithstanding
this Section 5.7, an open season for a change of primary points for
available capacity on Transporter's system posted as generally available
shall not be required
(i) when the change is necessitated by the proposed
abandonment of facilities associated with a Shipper's
primary point or points unless otherwise required by
Transporter; or
(ii) upon mutual agreement of Transporter and Shipper when the
proposed change would result in an NPV of zero
(collectively, "Open Season Exceptions").
Before Transporter may utilize one of the Open Season Exceptions to
effectuate a change in primary point(s) for a Shipper, any other
previously received expression(s) of interest in the same capacity must
first be addressed in accordance with this Section 5.
