Rate Schedule FTS-2
Firm Transportation Service (Continued)
(i) Subject to all requirements for submitting a valid request for firm
service herein, firm capacity will be allocated to the request(s) which
on an aggregate basis generate the highest net present value to
TRANSPORTER. Requests for service under this Rate Schedule and Rate
Schedule FTS shall be considered together under the same criteria.
Net present value will be determined based on the discounted cash flow
of revenues to TRANSPORTER produced, lost, or affected by the
request(s) for service. In determining the highest net present value,
TRANSPORTER will consider objective criteria only. Such criteria may
include, without limitation, the maximum contract quantity requested
for each Delivery Period, the term of the service requested, the date
on which the requested service would commence, the applicable rate
and such other factors available based on the requests for service
received by TRANSPORTER. The net present value discount factor
used by TRANSPORTER will be applied consistently to all requests
for capacity being evaluated at a particular point in time. For
purposes of evaluating requests under this Rate Schedule FTS-2,
TRANSPORTER shall use the MDQs for the life of the reserves based
on the production profile submitted by SHIPPER and accepted by
TRANSPORTER in its request for service. TRANSPORTER shall
calculate NPV for FTS-2 shippers by using at minimum the 80%
throughput requirement to determine revenues generated for
service under Rate Schedule FTS-2.
(ii) For requests for service initially under this Rate Schedule,
TRANSPORTER shall post on SoNet a period of time ("Initial Open
Season") for receiving requests to be evaluated contemporaneously
as provided above. Notwithstanding Section 4(e) above, any request
made during the Initial Open Season may commence service later than
twelve (12) months after the Valid Date, but not later than June 1,
2000; provided that TRANSPORTER shall not be required to make
available firm capacity to SHIPPER until the requested commence date.
(iii) In the event that TRANSPORTER receives two (2) or more requests for
service which produce a comparable net present value, whether during
an open season or otherwise, any available capacity will be allocated
between or among such requests on a pro rata basis; provided, however,
if one or more party(s) is offered capacity on a pro rata basis
pursuant to this Section and any party declines to execute the
requisite agreements for such capacity, such party's request shall be
null and void as provided above in Section 4(f) and the available
capacity will be reallocated among the other comparable requests.
