GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
of thirty-one (31) days or less for which Customer has obtained a
Prearranged Customer and Customer elects not to post such proposed
capacity release for bidding pursuant to Section 3.14(B), or for capacity
releases of any duration for which Customer has obtained a Prearranged
Customer and such Prearranged Customer is paying the maximum rate and all
other conditions are met, which shall not be subject to bidding but only
posting, not later than forty-eight (48) hours after the finalization of
all contractual arrangements; provided, however, through September 30,
2002, or any later date established by the Commission, any proposed
capacity release transaction with a duration greater than thirty-one (31)
days and less than one (1) year must be posted for bidding, regardless of
the proposed rate. All terms and conditions of completed capacity release
transactions will be posted on the LINK® System and, where applicable, by
electronic data interchange in accordance with Section 2.2 of the General
Terms and Conditions, including the names of the Customers involved in the
capacity release transaction. Pipeline, when requested by the Customer,
may take other action to market any released capacity. The Customer may
search for any party to take its capacity both before and after such
capacity is posted on the LINK® System or, where applicable, by electronic
data interchange. However, such capacity release shall not be consummated
until after it is posted. Contracting is done directly with Pipeline.
(E) Allocation of Released Capacity:
Pipeline shall select the "best bid" as defined in Section 3.14(F) from among
the bids received. However, if more than one bidder submits the "best bid," the
first bidder in time, inclusive of the Prearranged Customer, shall be selected
and posted as the "best bid", unless the Customer specifies another tie-breaking
methodology in its Customer's Notice. If multiple bids meeting minimum
conditions have been submitted, bids shall be awarded, best bid first, until all
offered capacity is awarded. Any bid submitted for released capacity pursuant to
Section 3.14(B) may state that its acceptance is contingent; provided, the
Customer's Notice allows the submission of contingent bids pursuant to Section
3.14(D)(1)(j). Any Replacement Customer may make an upward revision to or
withdraw its bid during the Bid Period through the LINK® System or, where
applicable, through electronic data interchange; provided, Pipeline will allow
any Prearranged Customer to match, in accordance with Section 3.14(B), the "best
bid" after the close of the Bid Period; however, if Replacement Customer submits
more than one bid for the same capacity, the lower bid will automatically
expire. Replacement Customer shall not have the opportunity to use its ability
to withdraw its bid in order to submit a lower bid.
