Proposals from shippers to acquire interstate pipeline capacity from PSNC Energy are evaluated based on the following criteria:

1. Current season (i.e., summer/winter)
2. Availability of capacity
3. Proposed term of transaction
4. Proposed primary delivery point (i.e., on-system/off-system)
5. Market pricing (commodity and basis).

PSNC Energy does not give any shipper preference over a similarly situated shipper in matters relating to capacity assignment, release, or any other transfer of capacity rights on the interstate pipeline system.
