GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
Right of First Refusal: If Pipeline provides written notice to
Shipper to terminate any Long Term Service Agreement for firm
transportation at the maximum tariff rate, Shipper will have a right
of first refusal to retain such firm capacity by complying with the
bidding procedures in this Section 4. If Shipper or a competing
bidder does not retain or acquire such firm capacity during the
right of first refusal bidding process, such firm capacity will be
allocated under GT&Cs Section 4.1(b). A right of first refusal does
not attach to: (i) capacity for which a Shipper provides written
notice to Pipeline to terminate; (ii) any Short Term Service
Agreement; (iii) an interruptible Service Agreement; or (iv) unless
otherwise agreed to by Pipeline on a not unduly discriminatory
basis, a Service Agreement with a Discounted Rate or Negotiated Rate
pursuant to GT&Cs Section 27. Pipeline shall post on its Internet
Web Site notice of expiration of Long Term Service Agreements for
firm transportation 180 days prior to expiration of the Service
Agreement. Unless Shipper gives at least twelve (12) months prior
written notice to Pipeline to terminate the Service Agreement or to
request a lesser extension term, the Service Agreement will
automatically extend upon the expiration of the primary term for a
term of five years. If a Shipper gives written notice to extend its
Long Term Service Agreement, or any portion of its contract quantity
thereunder, for less than the 5-year automatic extension period,
then Pipeline, at its option and in a manner, which is not unduly
discriminatory, may accept Shipper's requested extension period.
Alternatively, Pipeline will make the capacity under such agreement
available in accordance with the right of first refusal open season
procedures of this Section 4.
(a) Pipeline shall post the capacity for bidding on its
Internet Web Site no later than 180 days prior to the
expiration of the current Service Agreement. Pipeline
shall provide 30 days prior written notice to Shipper of
the date the capacity will be posted. The capacity will
remain posted on the Pipeline's Internet Web Site for a
minimum of 20 days with such posting containing the
information set forth in GT&Cs Section 4.1(b).
