GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)

(e) If only one Bidder has submitted a bid which

reflects the highest value, as applicable, then the

transportation rights shall be awarded to that

Bidder, subject to any Prearranged Replacement

Shipper's exercise of its right of first refusal

(matching) as set forth above.

(f) If two or more Bidders have submitted bids which

reflect the highest value, as applicable, then,

subject to any Prearranged Replacement Shipper's

exercise of its right of first refusal (matching)

as set forth above, the released transportation

rights will be awarded to one of such Bidders whose

bid was received first in time by Transporter.

Provided, however, that if the Releasing Shipper

has specified an alternative means for awarding the

released capacity as between two or more equal bids

("Alternative Tie Breaker"), the winner of the

alternative tie breaker shall be awarded the

transportation rights. Transporter shall conduct

the Alternative Tie Breaker in a non-discriminatory

manner.

(g) Except in the case where multiple Bidders requested

less than the total available capacity,

Transporter's application of the Releasing

Shipper's bid evaluation methodology and the

Alternative Tie Breaker provided above shall result

in only one successful Bidder per Release Request.
