8. CAPACITY RELEASE (Continued)
8.5 Posting. Following receipt of a notice of offer to release capacity
which satisfies the requirements set forth in this Section 8, Operator
will post such information on its Web Site in accordance with the
timeline set forth in Section 8.3 herein. Operator shall also post
offers to purchase capacity from those who desire current Customers to
release capacity upon receipt of the applicable information as set forth
in this Section 8.
8.6 Bidding and Selection of Replacement Customer. All bids must contain the
applicable information required in this Section 8. If Releasing Customer
desires to solicit bids for releases of thirty-one (31) days or less, it
may direct Operator to post notice of the availability of such capacity
and, in lieu of permitting bids during the otherwise applicable posting
period, award the capacity to the bidder which submits first in time a
valid bid meeting any minimum terms specified by the Releasing Customer.
Any bid submitted by a Replacement Customer shall include an e-mail
address for at least one contact person, and it is Customer's
responsibility to update e-mail address information provided to
Operator, as necessary. A bidder may not have more than one eligible bid
for the same release offer at any time. Bids shall be binding until
written or electronic notice of withdrawal is received by Operator
before the end of the bid period. Bids cannot be withdrawn after the bid
period ends. Once a bid is withdrawn, that bidder may only submit a new
bid pursuant to that release offer if it is at a higher rate than the
withdrawn bid. Operator shall evaluate the bids in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8 and determine the best bid in accordance
with the timelines set forth in Section 8.3 herein. Operator shall not
award capacity release offers to the Replacement Customer until and
unless the Replacement Customer meets Operator's creditworthiness
requirements applicable to all services that it receives from Operator,
including the service represented by the capacity release. Further,
Operator shall not award capacity release offers to the Replacement
Customer until and unless it is reasonable to do so and Operator's
lenders agree to so discharge the capacity. Operator shall notify
Releasing Customer, the best bidder, and any prearranged designated
Replacement Customer of such determination in accordance with the
timelines set forth in Section 8.3 herein. If there is a prearranged
designated Replacement Customer, it may exercise its right to match such
best bid by providing written notice of such exercise to Operator and
Releasing Customer in accordance with the timelines set forth in Section
8.3 herein.
