GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
14.2 Initiation of the Assignment of Service Rights
(a) A Releasing Shipper may initiate the assignment of its
Service Agreement by posting a Release Notice in the form
prescribed by this Tariff on the IEC System. A Releasing
Shipper may withdraw its Release Notice at any time prior to
the close of the posting period where unanticipated
circumstances justify and no minimum bid has been made.
(b) In the Release Notice, the Releasing Shipper must specify
the (i) term, (ii) quantity, (iii) minimum rate, expressed
in dollars and cents or percent of maximum rate, if
applicable, the Releasing Shipper is willing to accept, (iv)
whether the assignment is subject to recall, including the
right of a partial day recall, and the applicable recall
conditions as well as reput methods and rights associated
with returning the previously recalled capacity to the
Replacement Shipper, and (v) for prearranged releases,
whether the release is to an asset manager or marketer
participating in a state-regulated retail access program, as
defined by FERC regulations at 18 C.F.R. Section 284.8. The
Releasing Shipper may specify further objective and
nondiscriminatory conditions in its Release Notice, such as
alternative economic criteria for evaluating bids which may
include highest rate, net revenues or present value, whether
volumetrically stated bids will be accepted, whether a
volumetric commitment is required, alternative methods for
breaking ties, whether contingent bids will be accepted and,
if so, the method by which contingent bids will be evaluated
and when the contingency must be removed, whether bids for a
portion of the capacity offered will be accepted; provided,
however, the Releasing Shipper may not specify conditions
which are in conflict with the Service Agreement, the
applicable Rate Schedule, or these General Terms and
Conditions.
(c) The Releasing Shipper may arrange for the assignment of its
Service Agreement to a Designated Replacement Shipper prior
to submitting its Release Notice to KPC. Such designated
Replacement Shipper must be on the approved bidders list and
shall acknowledge the release notice through the IEC system
as a prerequisite to the posting of the release notice.
However, the assignment will not become effective except as
provided in this Section 14.
