binding Qualified Bids for the available capacity, or any portion
thereof, for the entire period that the information is posted. Qualified

for the capacity.
UTOS shall be under no obligation to accept or consider Qualified Bids at
less than the maximum reservation charge. However, UTOS will inform the
Existing Shipper of the maximum bid that was received, or the fact that
no bids were received.

General Terms and Conditions of this tariff; and

evaluation materials described in Section 2.2(k) of the General
Terms and Conditions of this tariff. UTOS reserves the right to
request additional or renewed credit evaluation materials at any
time for the purpose of reviewing a completed creditworthiness
