4. On a not unduly discriminatory basis, to reject any bid or service request that, in Tennessee's sole determination, is incomplete, is inconsistent with the terms of this Open Season, contains additions or modifications to the terms of this Open Season, is otherwise deficient in any respect (including failure to provide credit support as Tennessee deems necessary), or requests service outside the scope of this Open Season.

Submission of Bids

In order to be considered eligible to be awarded capacity following this Open Season, each potential shipper must submit a bid that specifies terms, volumes, monthly rates, receipt points and delivery points that are consistent with the respective terms, volumes, monthly rates, receipt points and delivery points outlined above. All bids should refer to the Open Season number set forth above. Available capacity volumes are contingent upon mainline, meter and lateral capacity. Bids cannot exceed the stated maximum volumes. Parties interested in this capacity should submit binding Open Season Bid Forms by e-mailing their bid forms to TGPBidroom@kindermorgan.com. Any party may confirm Tennessee's receipt of its bid by contacting the Bidroom between 8 A.M. and 5 P.M. CT, Monday through Friday (unless such day is not a working day). All bids submitted during this Open Season may be replaced with higher net present value (“NPV”) bids during the Open Season Period. Bids cannot be replaced with lower NPV bids. Upon completion of this Open Season, all remaining bids will be considered binding until a successful bid(s) has been awarded.

Evaluation Method

All final bids for each Proposal received during this Open Season will be evaluated on an NPV basis using the following factors:

NPV = En[R*(1/(1+i)**n)]

En = summation of months 1 through n (Sigma)

n = term in months

R = incremental monthly revenue

i = monthly discount factor of 0.8333%

Tennessee reserves the right to accept any one bid or combination of bids that will result in the largest aggregate NPV for the aforementioned Proposal(s).
