requests received during the open season, and any other rules applicable

in the applicable posting. Commencing January 1, 2006, such bid must be
submitted online via the LINK® System.

which produce an equivalent net present value, whether during an open
season or otherwise, any available capacity will be allocated between or
among such requests on a pro rata basis; provided, however, if one or more
party(s) is offered capacity on a pro rata basis pursuant to this Section
3.11(A) and any party declines, by notifying Pipeline in writing, to
contract for such capacity, such party's request shall be deemed null and
void and the available capacity will be reallocated among such requests

pursuant to the provisions of Section 28 of these General Terms and
Conditions in order for the bid rate to become effective.
