SECTION 7.23
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
VERSION 3.0.0
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS7.23.5. Upon conclusion of the ROFR Bidding Period, Transporter shall evaluate the bids in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.22 for the evaluation of bids under Transporter's capacity release mechanism, provided that any bid rate higher than the maximum applicable Recourse Rate shall be deemed to be equal to the maximum applicable Recourse Rate. Transporter shall not be required to accept any bid at less than Transporter's maximum applicable Recourse Rate. 7.23.6. If Transporter receives no bids, or if Transporter receives no bids at its maximum applicable Recourse Rate and Transporter determines not to accept any bids below the maximum applicable Recourse Rate, Transporter shall notify Shipper of the bid having the highest value to Transporter ("Highest Bid"), or that no bids were received. If Transporter receives a bid at its maximum applicable Recourse Rate, or if it accepts any bid below the maximum applicable Recourse Rate, Transporter shall, within five (5) days of the close of the ROFR Bidding Period, inform Shipper of the offer to purchase capacity solicited pursuant to this section that Transporter intends to accept. Shipper shall have twenty-five (25) days after receiving notice to notify Transporter as to whether it will match the Highest Bid in terms of price, quantity and duration. If the Shipper elects to match the Highest Bid, it must execute a new transportation agreement that contains the terms of the Highest Bid; provided, however, that Shipper shall not be required to pay any rate higher than the maximum applicable Recourse Rate. If the Shipper fails to match the offer presented by Transporter, Transporter shall enter into an FT Agreement with the Person submitting the competing offer. 7.23.7. If Transporter receives no bids at the maximum applicable Recourse Rate and Transporter refuses to accept a lower bid, Transporter may abandon service to Shipper, unless Shipper agrees to pay the maximum applicable Recourse Rate for a period of one (1) year, or if Transporter and Shipper negotiate the terms and conditions of an FT Agreement extension.
