GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICES - continued
18. SERVICE AGREEMENT/RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
Shippers with a term of one (1) year or more may exercise the Right of
First Refusal. Such agreements are not subject to pregranted
abandonment provided notice is given as described herein. A firm
Shipper may elect to retain a portion of its capacity, subject to the
Right of First Refusal process and have Transporter's pregranted
abandonment authority apply to the remainder of the capacity. The
process for exercising the Right of First Refusal is as follows:
18.1. NOTICE
Transporter will provide no more than nine (9) months, and not less
than six (6) months advance written notice of pending contract
expiration to firm Shippers with contact terms of one (1) year or
more. Shippers must give notice to Transporter no less than four
(4) months before the expiration of its firm throughput contract
that it wishes Transporter to post its capacity to begin the Right
of First Refusal process.
Failure by the Shipper to give Transporter the notice specified in
this section will result in the automatic abandonment of the
entitlement and the Shipper's right to the subject capacity at the
end of the contract term will cease.
18.2 BIDDING PROCESS
Upon Transporter's receipt of the Shipper's Right of First Refusal
notice described in Section 18.1 above, Transporter will post the
designated capacity on its Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB) in order
to solicit bids for the capacity.
A Bidder desiring to obtain the posted capacity must submit a bid
to Transporter in accordance with Section 18.3 below, within forty-
five (45) days of the posting to participate in the Right of First
Refusal process.
