GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
3. Auctions of Available firm Service
This Section governs the manner in which requests for firm transportation
service (FTS) shall be accommodated by Transporter when capacity is or becomes
available, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Rate Schedule.
3.1 Circumstances under which Capacity becomes available
(a)
Termination of Short-Term Service Agreements. Upon the termination of any firm
Service Agreement having a term of less than one year, the capacity associated
with such terminated Service Agreement shall be made available for bidding under
the procedures described in Section 3.2 below, provided that: (i) the capacity
is not previously committed under the terms of this Tariff, and (ii) facility
capacity remains available.
(b)
Continuing Service under certain Long-Term Agreements. Six (6) months prior to
the completion of the term of any firm Service Agreement having a term of one
year or more (a long-term Service Agreement), Transporter shall provide the
Shipper written notification of the Agreement's forthcoming expiration. Shipper
shall have the right to continue receiving service beyond the initial expiration
date under the long-term Service Agreement if that Service Agreement is at the
maximum rate and (i) contains a provision that continues service absent notice
of termination by Transporter or Shipper (an evergreen provision) and neither
party has provided such notice, (ii) otherwise extends beyond that term
according to its terms, or (iii) does not provide for pregranted abandonment and
Shipper executes a new long-term Service Agreement at a maximum rate. If the
above requirements are not satisfied at the termination date of the primary term
of a long-term Service Agreement, service under that long-term Service Agreement
shall be subject to the termination and right of first refusal provisions set
forth in Section 3.1 (c) below.
(c)
Termination of Long-Term Service Agreements; Exercise of Right of First Refusal.
If Shipper's long-term Service Agreement does not extend according to its terms
or otherwise continue as described in Section 3.1(b) above, or Shipper declines
to extend the contract under the provisions described in paragraph (b) above,
Shipper may continue service upon termination of that Service Agreement by (i)
agreeing to match the highest value bid offered to Transporter for Shipper's
firm service, or any portion thereof, through the bidding process described in
Section
