GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
contract MDQ under FTS or (where applicable) FTS-G equal to or less
than the original contract MDQ. Such Shipper may, but is not
required to, also rollover the storage portion of such Agreement
(whether or not all or any part of such contract was rolled over
into FTS or FTS-G service) into the corresponding level of service
under Rate Schedule NSS. Finally, any Shipper with an Agreement
which is eligible for rollover hereunder which entered into a new
firm Agreement as a result of transitional procedures which were in
effect prior to October 1, 1999 shall have both unilateral rollover
rights and the right of first refusal under the new Agreement
regardless of its term, but such right shall not extend to a
subsequent rollover Agreement which must be evaluated on a stand-
alone basis as to further rollover. Any rollover right under this
subsection (b) must be exercised pursuant to a notice which
conforms to Section 22.2(a) or Section 22.3, as applicable.
(c) If a Shipper submits a written notice which
conforms to Section 22.2(a), such notice shall be binding on
Shipper. Shipper and Natural shall be obligated to sign an
Agreement consistent with such notice; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the parties from
negotiating a more acceptable Agreement by mutual consent which is
not inconsistent with this Tariff.
(d) If an Agreement is rolled over pursuant to this
Section 22.2, the Right of First Refusal under Section 22.3 shall
not apply.
22.3 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
(a) Any Shipper under a DSS, FTS, FFTS, FTS-G, FRSS or
NSS Agreement with a term of one (1) year or greater shall have the
right to continue receiving service after the expiration of its
existing Agreement if, pursuant to the Right of First Refusal
procedures set forth in this Section 22.3, it matches the price and
term offered for such service by any other bidder; provided,
however, that (irrespective of the price offered by the existing
Shipper or any bidder) Natural shall not be required to provide
service at a discount from its applicable maximum rate unless it
otherwise agrees; and, provided further that if a bid is submitted
for a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula under Section 49
of these General Terms and Conditions, the existing Shipper need
match only the lesser of the value of the bid at the Negotiated
