TransCanada ANR East Project Non-Binding Open Season
1. July 3, 2014
ANR PIPELINE COMPANY
ANR EAST PROJECT
NON-BINDING OPEN SEASON
Due to growing market demand and the continuing development of the Utica and Marcellus Shale
Basins, ANR Pipeline Company (“ANR”) is conducting a non-binding open season to solicit
interest for its ANR East Project (“Project”). The Project is intended to provide Marcellus and
Utica gas supplies with export capacity directly from the supply basin to the Midwest, Gulf Coast,
and Dawn, Ontario. The Project would also allow for transportation receipts of Utica Marcellus
sourced gas supply at or near Defiance Ohio, a hub of several existing and proposed 3rd
party
pipelines which offer the necessary capacity to various downstream markets.
OPEN SEASON PERIOD
This open season shall commence at 11:00 a.m. CT Thursday, July 3, 2014, and close at 5:00 p.m.
CT on Monday, July 28, 2014.
PROJECT SCOPE
ANR proposes to construct a new, large diameter 1440 psig pipeline from Clarington, Ohio
through Cadiz and Leesville, Ohio to an interconnection with ANR’s existing system at Defiance,
Ohio. As part of the Project, ANR proposes facility enhancements to expand ANR’s existing
system capacity from Defiance, Ohio to market locations in ANR’s ML7 and ML3 rate zones.
The Project is designed to provide additional export transportation capacity for shippers to move
gas supplies from Southeast Ohio or Northwest Ohio (near Defiance), to markets in the U.S.
Midwest and Gulf Coast. Based on customer interest, ANR can also provide transportation
service to Dawn, Ontario via seamless arrangements with its pipeline affiliates Great Lakes Gas
Transmission (“Great Lakes”) and TransCanada Pipeline.
ANR East is offering to provide any one of the following transportation options to provide access
to a diverse market portfolio:
Option A – Receipt of gas at Clarington, Cadiz, and/or Leesville, Ohio with delivery to ANR and
others near Defiance, Ohio; or
Option B – Receipt of gas by ANR near Defiance, Ohio, with delivery to existing market locations
and pipeline interconnections in ANR’s ML7 and/or ML3 rate zones; or
Option C – Receipt of gas at Clarington, Cadiz, and/or Leesville, Ohio with delivery to existing
market locations and pipeline interconnections in ANR’s ML7 and/or ML3 rate zones.
Upon request, ANR will also consider (i) the construction of facilities to receive gas at locations
other than Clarington, Cadiz, or Leesville; (ii) new or expanded interconnections with markets
and pipelines crossing the ANR existing system row or that of the proposed Project.

ANR EAST PROJECT ROUTE OPTIONS
PROJECT TIMING
The targeted in-service date of the Project is the 3rd
Quarter of 2017. Upon request, ANR may
phase in service for portions of the Project earlier than the 3rd
Quarter of 2017 start date, subject
to the receipt and timing of any applicable regulatory approvals.
PROJECT BENEFITS
ANR is well connected to existing markets and provides easy access to multiple liquid pricing
hubs. The ANR footprint accesses significant demand growth potential as well as on-system
storage market opportunities. Through interconnections on the existing ANR and GLGT systems,
the ANR East project provides access to 27 Bcf/d of meter capacity in the Midwest and into
Ontario.
In addition to Midwest markets ANR’s Southeast Mainline capacity provides access to 6.5 Bcf/d
in Louisiana and significant growth opportunities in the Gulf Coast, and additional meter capacity
is being developed for deliveries of supply for LNG exports in south Louisiana. ANR’s Southwest
Mainline provides access to markets to west and south.

NON-BINDING NATURE OF OPEN SEASON
Participation in this Open Season shall be considered non-binding on both the participants and on
ANR. The purpose of the Open Season is to allow ANR to evaluate the market interest,
economics, and design parameters for the Project to effectively meet the needs of its customers.
Based upon the results of the Open Season, ANR will, in its sole discretion, determine whether or
not to proceed with the proposed Project, the Project’s scope, the possibility of an expansion of
the Project’s scope to accommodate all interested parties, or the reduction in scope, in part or in
whole, and whether an additional binding open season is necessary. ANR may, in its sole
discretion, determine to proceed with the Project but not hold a binding open season. In such
case, ANR would enter into discussions with participants in this Open Season for the purpose of
executing precedent agreements. Although this Open Season is non-binding, only those who
participate in the Open Season will be guaranteed consideration for service under the Project.
ANR may, in its sole discretion, and on a not unduly discriminatory basis, consider requests
received after the close of the Open Season, including requests to modify or clarify a party’s
initial bid, subject to the requirement that the modification of a bid may not decrease the NPV of
such bid.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF BIDS
ANR will acknowledge receipt of all Non-Binding Bid Forms (“Bids”). A copy of the ANR East
Project Non-Binding Open Season Bid Form is attached.
ANR reserves the right to reject any Bid that is incomplete, contains or reflects modifications to
the terms and/or conditions of this Open Season, conflicts with ANR’s FERC Gas Tariff, or is
outside the scope of the Project, as determined by ANR in its sole discretion. If a Bidder desires a
modification to the Non-Binding Bid(s) Form to address a special or unique situation, ANR
encourages the Bidder to present any such modification to ANR for consideration/negotiation as
soon as possible in advance of the close of the Open Season. However, ANR shall not be
precluded from considering appropriate clarifications or modifications to a Bidder’s Non-Binding
Bid Form following the close of the Open Season.
This Open Season is subject to all applicable laws, orders, rules, and regulations and authorities
having jurisdiction.
BID EVALUATION PROCESS
ANR’s review of all Non-Binding Bid Form(s) will be performed with reasonable promptness. A
net present value (NPV) analysis will be performed on each qualifying Bid. The revenue stream
for each Bid will be discounted at an annual discount rate of 3.25% in order to determine its NPV.
For purposes of awarding capacity, ANR will consider the combination of shipper bids that result
in the highest total NPV for the project.
9. 9/11
PRO-RATIONING OF CAPACITY
With the exception of those Foundation Shippers who have executed a precedent agreement prior
to the close of this Open Season, all other Bidders shall be subject to capacity pro-rationing. If
total non-binding Bid(s) exceed proposed initial and/or expanded Project capacity, and if more
than one non-binding Bid has the same NPV, then capacity shall be pro-rated among Bidders with
matching NPV Bids such that the highest aggregate NPV is achieved. In the event of a tie,
Bidders interested in this capacity should specify a minimum acceptable pro-rata MDQ in their
Bid. As an alternative to such a proration, ANR reserves the right to agree to alternate points of
delivery.
SOLICITATION OF TURNBACK CAPACITY
ANR requests that any shipper who currently holds firm transportation capacity along the paths
mentioned in this Open Season notify ANR in writing, by the end of this Open Season, if it
wishes to turn back its capacity (“Turnback Capacity”). Such notification must specify the
contract number, primary receipt and delivery points, and the volume the shipper is offering to
turn back. ANR will consider and evaluate offers of Turnback Capacity which satisfy services
similar to those proposed herein in terms of location, term, and price.
CREDITWORTHINESS
If ANR determines to proceed with the proposed Project, prospective Bidders shall be subject to
the creditworthiness requirements of the Project precedent agreement when receiving service
under the resulting Firm Transportation Agreement. Prospective bidders may contact Rita Homan
at (832) 320-5449 if they have any questions relating to creditworthiness.
BID PROCESS
Interested parties wishing to submit Bids during the Open Season must submit a completed Non-
Binding Bid Form (as attached) by mail, by email attachment or by facsimile. All Bids must be
received by ANR prior to the close of the Open Season described above. Bids must be mailed,
emailed or faxed to:
