GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
3. Auctions of Available Firm Service (con’t)
received, and no new long-term agreement has been reached between Transporter
and the Shipper holding the capacity under the expiring Service Agreement,
Transporter shall post such capacity for an indefinite period as Generally
Available Capacity. Transporter shall post minimum price and other terms for
such Generally Available Capacity, as described below. Transporter may change
those minimum price and other terms, or may withdraw the posting of such
Generally Available Capacity, at any time prior to receipt of a bid satisfying
the posted minimum terms of that capacity. Any such minimum price and other
terms shall be subject to the same limitations applicable to other available
capacity, as set forth in this Section.
Transporter will accept maximum rate bids for posted Generally Available
Capacity on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the right of an
existing holder with a right of first refusal to exercise its right to match
that offer. If Transporter receives an acceptable bid for such Generally
Available Capacity that meets its stated minimum conditions but is at less than
the maximum rate, Transporter will post that bid on its website for a period of
five (5) business days. During that five-day period:
(i) an existing holder of the capacity that has retained a right
of first refusal may retain the capacity by matching all of
the terms of the highest value bid; or
(ii) any other competing bidder may obtain the capacity by
submitting a highest value bid (that exceeds the value of
the initial posted bid), as determined in accordance with
the bid evaluation criteria as set forth below.
(d)
Termination of Other Long-Term Service Agreements. If a long-term Service
Agreement is not continued by its own terms or by reason of the Shipper's
exercise of its right of first refusal, such long-term Service Agreement shall
be subject to pregranted abandonment unless otherwise specified in the Service
Agreement and shall terminate as specified therein and Transporter shall have no
further obligation to Shipper.

capacity shall be made available for bidding provided that it is not previously
