percentage of Maximum Tariff Rate, term, and quantity of

capacity Releasing Shipper shall accept, if any, and

of Reservation or Capacity and Deliverability Charges

will be accepted and whether Releasing Shipper requires

a volumetric commitment. The maximum volumetric rate

that may be bid shall not exceed the one hundred percent

(100%) load factor equivalent of the maximum Reservation

or Capacity and Deliverability reservation rates;

provided, however, that the maximum volumetric rate
