GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
Leased Capacity. Incremental revenue is the additional revenue MEP
would collect from a Shipper under any bid or request over and above
the revenue MEP would otherwise have received after taking into
account any revenue lost or affected by the bid or request (i.e.,
where an existing capacity holder submits a bid or request which is
contingent upon turnback by that existing capacity holder of an
existing capacity commitment, only the value of such a bid or request
net of the revenue which would be lost to MEP due to the turnback of
the existing contractual commitment will be considered).
(2) ONLY GUARANTEED REVENUE CONSIDERED
In the determination of highest economic
value, MEP shall consider only reservation charge revenue and any
other guaranteed revenue under bids or requests which meet any
applicable reserve price, excluding revenue associated with Leased
Capacity. In the case of a bid or request for firm service involving
a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula, the rules for
calculating net present value set out in Section 30 of these General
Terms and Conditions shall apply.
(3) POSTING OF CRITERIA

determination of highest economic value for comparing valid bids in
any open season and for comparing pending requests which are valid and
competing. The posting will consist of a net present value formula,
together with all relevant factors and parameters. The discount rate
to be utilized in the NPV formula shall be the FERC approved interest
rate. These criteria shall be posted continuously on the
Informational Postings portion of MEP's Interactive Website. MEP may
change the criteria at any time in a manner not inconsistent with the
other provisions of this Section 2.1(c), but the revised criteria may
only be applied to an open season the posting of which commenced at
least one (1) Business Day after the change in criteria has been
posted. MEP cannot change the criteria for any on-going open season.
The revised criteria shall apply immediately to all requests received
after the change has been posted. In addition, the posting for each
individual open season will include the following elements: the date
