GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)

(e) If only one Bidder has submitted a Bid that reflects the

greatest economic value or the highest net present value, as

applicable, the released transportation on Transporter's

system shall be awarded to that Bidder, subject to any Pre-

arranged Bidder's exercise of its matching rights as set

forth in Section 17.7(d)(iii) above.

(f) If two or more Bidders have submitted Bids that each reflect

the greatest economic value or highest net present value, as

applicable, then, subject to any Pre-arranged Bidder's

exercise of its matching rights, the released transportation

will be awarded according to any method specified by the

Releasing Shipper in the Release Request as an alternative

Quantity, rates, term, Maximum Daily Quantities at all

Primary Receipt Points and Maximum Daily Quantities at all

Primary Delivery Points, governing rate schedule, and any

special terms and conditions for each awarded release. An

identical Exhibit "R-1" shall be added to the Releasing

Shipper's transportation service agreement, to reflect that

transportation rights and the terms of such release. A
