Firm Transportation Service
(Continued)
(iv) In the event capacity is not available to satisfy a request, such request
for service will be maintained, if such SHIPPER or potential SHIPPER desires,
in a firm service queue subject to the notice requirements above in Section
4(f). If and when capacity subsequently becomes available, such capacity
will be allocated to pending requests in the firm service queue, on the
date such capacity becomes available based on the highest net present value
of the pending requests as provided above unless TRANSPORTER elects to
conduct an open season as provided in 4(g)(v) below. Notwithstanding the
above, any available capacity will be awarded first to pending requests of
existing shippers requesting increases in MDQs pursuant to Section 4(b) above;
and if available capacity for any Delivery Period cannot complete all such
pending requests, the available capacity will be allocated to all such
requests on a pro rata basis. If an open season is conducted, SHIPPER(s) or
or potential SHIPPER(s) with pending requests in the firm service queue shall
be individually notified and given an opportunity to participate in such open
season. If such SHIPPER or potential SHIPPER elects not to participate in any
such open season, then, at the end of the open season, its pending request
shall be deemed null and void.
(v) In addition to the procedures set forth in Section 4(g)(iv) above,
TRANSPORTER shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, from
time to time to hold open seasons for potential expansion projects
or for capacity which has become available. Notwithstanding the above,
to the extent Transporter plans a scheduled maintenance event which is
reasonably expected by Transporter to cause Transporter to limit
interruptible transportation service on mainline capacity for more than ten
(10) days, Transporter will hold an open season by posting a notice on
SoNet for a minimum period of 48 hours during which Shippers may submit
requests for firm transportation pursuant to Section 16 of the
General Terms and Conditions for a term not less than a month during
which the maintenance event occurs. The open season will be held for at
least 24 hours during a business day. Such scheduled maintenance event
shall not include force majeure events, unscheduled maintenance events
and any maintenance not affecting mainline capacity at individual receipt
points or delivery points or small laterals. During any such open season,
TRANSPORTER shall allocate the capacity subject to such open season on
the basis of the highest net present value to TRANSPORTER, as determined
pursuant to the method described in Section 4(g)(i) above. To the extent
TRANSPORTER has available unsubscribed capacity, TRANSPORTER reserves the
right, but shall not be obligated, to reserve such capacity for future open
seasons that are to be held within the next twenty-four (24) months. All
requests received during an open season remain binding on the requesting
SHIPPER through the end of the open season unless withdrawn by the requesting
SHIPPER; provided, however, a
