GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
11. PREGRANTED ABANDONMENT AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL (Cont'd.)
11.6 Notification of and Right to Match Best Bid
Transporter shall notify Shipper of the Best Bid by overnight
courier, provided the courier service used by Transporter makes
overnight deliveries to the address designated by Shipper for
formal written notices under Shipper's contract; otherwise
Transporter shall provide such notice in accordance with the
provisions of such contract. Upon receipt from Transporter of
notice of the Best Bid(s), Shipper shall have the right for a
period of fifteen (15) Business Days to notify Transporter whether
the Shipper is willing to match the Best Bid(s) with respect to all
or a quantitative portion of the capacity bid upon. This right to
match the Best Bid(s) shall be referred to herein as the "Right of
First Refusal" or "ROFR". Failure to notify Transporter within
said period constitutes an irrevocable waiver of Shipper's ROFR.
In order to exercise its ROFR, Shipper must agree to a combination
of rate and term that is equivalent to the Best Bid(s) on a net
present value basis, consistent with the criteria specified in
Transporter's posting.
If the Best Bid(s) apply to a quantitative portion of Shipper's
contract quantity, Shipper need only match the Best Bid(s) with
respect to such quantitative portion, in which case, the remaining
quantitative portion of Shipper's contract quantity will be subject
to Section 11.7 hereof.
If a Shipper elects to exercise its ROFR as to only a quantitative
portion of its capacity or as to only a quantitative portion of the
capacity bid upon, its rights under its service agreement shall be
reduced as follows: (i) Shipper's maximum entitlement shall be
reduced in the same proportion on each Day that Shipper is entitled
to receive service during the year; (ii) if the election is made
under a storage service agreement, then the Maximum Storage
Quantity, Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantity and Maximum Daily
Injection Quantity shall be reduced proportionately; and (iii)
Shipper may specify the allocation of the reduction among primary
receipt and delivery points, provided however, that Transporter may
require a different allocation among receipt and/or delivery points
if Shipper's proposal is operationally infeasible or would result
in a reduction in Shipper's per unit reservation rate for capacity
and Transporter provides a written explanation to Shipper of that
result. If Shipper does not specify a particular allocation of the
