Nominations.

(a) For a Prearranged Release for which no open season is

required under Section 6.6 and which is received by 9:00 a.m. CCT on a

business day, TransColorado shall award the capacity to the Prearranged

Shipper by 10:00 a.m. CCT on such business day on which TransColorado

received the Prearranged Release, provided that all applicable provisions

of this Section 6 have been complied with.

(b) As to any other Prearranged Release, in the event there

was no winning Qualified Bid(s) with a higher total Bid Value than the

Prearranged Shipper's Bid Value, TransColorado shall notify the

Prearranged Shipper by 3:00 p.m. CCT following the end of the open season.

If, during an open season, the winning Qualified Bid(s) have a higher

total Bid Value than the Bid Value of the Prearranged Release under the

bid evaluation procedure selected by the Releasing Shipper, then, by 3:00

p.m. CCT following the conclusion of the open season, TransColorado shall

notify the Prearranged Shipper of the terms and conditions of the winning

Qualified Bid(s), except for any identification of the Qualified

Bidder(s). The Prearranged Shipper may elect to match any or all of such

winning Qualified Bid(s), but may not elect to match only a portion of a

winning Qualified Bid. Such election shall consist of the Prearranged

Shipper submitting notice to TransColorado of its unconditional agreement

to the terms and conditions of one or more of such winning Qualified

Bid(s) in writing or electronic means by 4:00 p.m. CCT on the business day

on which TransColorado gave notice to the Prearranged Shipper of such
