  5.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL (Continued)

       5.2   Posting/Bid Procedures (Continued)

              5.22  Bid Procedures (Continued)

                    (c)  The Company will allow Bids for capacity which 
                         are contingent upon the bidder obtaining capacity 
                         on another pipeline(s).  The Bid must specify the 
                         contingency, including the timing of when the 
                         results of the other pipeline(s) evaluation and 
                         allocation process will be completed.  In those 
                         instances where such a contingent Bid(s) is 
                         determined to be the Best Bid, the allocation of 
                         capacity may be delayed, without undue 
                         discrimination, pending satisfaction of the 
                         contingency.  If such contingency has not been 
                         resolved by no later than 10 business days after 
                         Bid Closing Date, then such contingent bid is 
                         deemed void.

                    (d)  If a Bid is received which contains conditions, 
                         other than those allowed in Subsection 5.22(c), 
                         that are not satisfied at Bid Closing Date, such 
                         Bid shall not be accepted.

                    (e)  A bidder may withdraw its Bid prior to the Bid 
                         Closing Date upon written notice to Company.

              5.23  Selection of Best Bid

                    (a)  For purposes of determining the Best Bid(s), 
                         Company will use Method A as detailed in 
                         Subsection 27.61(a) and, if applicable for 
                         Negotiated Rate bids, Subsection 38.3 of the 
                         General Terms and Conditions.  (Where competing 
                         Bids at less than the Maximum Rate are received, 
                         Shipper need not match the Bid unless the less 
                         than Maximum Rate Bid is accepted by Company.)

                    (b)  Company will evaluate Bids received within one 
                         business day of the Bid Closing Date except as 
                         noted in Subsection 5.22(c).
