GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(b) Permanently released capacity shall be
awarded to the replacement shipper that offers a rate and
term yielding a present value equal to or greater than the
present value of the releasing shipper's transportation
service agreement. The present value shall be calculated
using the formula stated below. Acceptance shall be
conditioned upon the replacement shipper satisfying
Questar's creditworthiness standards and eligibility
requirements.
(c) Present value formula:
(Monthly Reservation Charge ) x [1-(1+i)-n ]=Present Value
( Per Unit ) [ i ] per Unit
Where: i = interest rate per month, i.e., overall
rate of return divided by 12 months.
n = term of the agreement, in months.
(d) If two or more bids are of equal value, the
capacity shall be awarded according to the criteria
specified by the releasing shipper. If no method for
awarding bids of equal value is specified, the capacity
shall be awarded to those bidders pro rata based on the
ratio the quantity bid by those bidders bears to the total
quantity bid by all bidders multiplied by the quantity of
capacity released.
(e) If no bid is submitted meeting all of the
rates, terms and conditions in the releasing shipper's
release notice, then no award of capacity shall be made.
(f) For a pre-arranged release, if no better
offer is received during a bid period or the pre-arranged
offer is for the applicable maximum reservation charge and
the arrangement is for the full term of the release, then
the pre-arranged bidding shipper shall become the re-
placement shipper. If the pre-arranged release is for less
than the applicable maximum reservation charge and
