GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(7) CAPACITY AWARDED FOR LIMITED PERIOD
This provision applies in situations where
firm capacity is awarded for a limited time period ending on a date
no later than the date on which such capacity is required to provide
service under one or more preexisting FTS Agreements or where firm
capacity is operationally available only for a limited time period;
provided that this provision does not govern the rights of Foundation
Shippers receiving Interim Period Service.
(i) MEP may market such capacity for all
or any portion of the limited time period until service under the
capacity award becomes effective, or until the capacity is no longer
operationally available.
(ii) MEP shall limit the rights of the
Shipper awarded the capacity to the limited time period, so that the
Shipper has no rollover rights or rights of first refusal which
extend beyond the limited time period; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall be read to limit the rights of Foundation
Shippers to continued service beyond the expiration of Interim Period
Service. MEP will indicate in any open season posting for such
capacity the limitation on rights which will apply to such firm
capacity awarded for the limited time period.
(c) EVALUATION OF COMPETING BIDS AND REQUESTS
In comparing valid bids received in an open season
or in comparing two or more valid and competing pending requests for
service under the Request Procedure, MEP will award firm capacity

2.1(c).

The highest economic value is the highest
net present value of the stream of incremental revenue produced in
the aggregate by a valid bid or request, or combination of valid bids
or requests, received by MEP for firm capacity which is consistent
with the reserve price where one has been established; provided
however, that such revenue shall not include revenue associated with
