bidding party or, if applicable, of the original Request for Service,
including matched terms if an Original Customer matches the Best Bid(s).
Such service agreement shall be executed within two (2) business days of
its tender by Texas Gas if the service agreement term is less than one (1)
year, or within five (5) business days if the service agreement term is one

service agreement within the applicable time period, the Customer shall
forfeit all rights and entitlement to the subject capacity. The capacity

(i) the rate established by the applicable Customer's Best Bid(s)/Request
for Service, and (ii) the rate established when the capacity is awarded to
the next Best Bid(s) or resold via a subsequent bid or auction process and
contracted for, multiplied by the Customer's Contract Demand(s) and
