(PMI) at the prices described in its Bid Price Proposal is made subject to the acceptance by the Commission of the following conditions as expressly stated herein, without modification except upon the written agreement of PMI. The Commissions order designating PMI as a standard offer provider (the Provider) shall expressly incorporate each of the conditions stated herein (the Order). Upon such acceptance and designation, PMIs resulting rights and obligations as Provider shall consist of (i) the applicable and material provisions of fb88 law and regulations, and provisions of the RFP; (ii) the Order, incorporating the express conditions of this Bid Price Proposal; and (iii) the Standard Offer Provider Standard Service Agreement described below (collectively, the Standard Offer Obligation). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the Order and any other terms and conditions described above, the terms and provisions of the Order shall prevail and be given priority. Subject to the foregoing, the several documents and instruments forming the Standard Offer Obligation are to be taken as mutually explanatory of one another and in the case of ambiguities or discrepancies within or between such parts the same shall be explained and interpreted, if possible, in a manner which gives effect to each part and which avoids or minimizes conflicts among such parts. Proposal Expiration Date. Close of Business, January 9, 2007. Standard Offer Provider Standard Service Agreement. The named T&D shall execute, deliver and perform the Standard Offer Provider Standard Service Agreement between Bidder and T&D in the form delivered to the Commission with the Bid Price Proposal (the SOP Agreement) within twenty-four (24) hours after the Proposal Expiration Date. ( Entitlement Agreements. PMIs bid for the Standard Offer Obligation is not expressly contingent upon PMI being awarded any Entitlements, however, the term of any Entitlement Agreement must coincide with the term of the Standard Offer Provider Standard Service Agreement. In addition, PMI shall not be required to accept any Entitlements in the event PMI has not been awarded the Standard Offer Provider obligation. Confidentiality of Bidder Identification. The Commission agrees not to reveal the identity of PMI prior to the date which is two (2) weeks after the date of the Order designating PMI as Provider. Increased Costs Associated With Change in Law. If the Maine legislature or the Commission enacts, promulgates, adopts, alters, modifies or waives any law, rule or regulation that relates directly to the provision of standard offer service or the provision of competitive electric service in general after the date hereof (a "Change in Law") and such Change in Law materially increases the Providers cost to provide standard offer service, Provider shall recover such increased costs in accordance with paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) below, as applicable. Provider shall provide the Commission and, if applicable, the fb88 Legislature with a calculation of its increased costs as soon as practicable after becoming aware of a Change in Law or consideration by the Commission or the fb88 Legislature of a Change in Law. (a) If the Commission finds that Providers calculation reasonably reflects its increased costs, the Commission shall increase the price of standard offer service paid by retail standard offer customers at the time a Change in Law becomes effective so that Provider recovers increased costs in accordance with Providers calculation. (b) If the Commission does not find that Providers calculation reasonably reflects its increased costs, the Commission may increase the price of standard offer service paid by retail customers such that the Provider recovers increased costs in accordance with the Commissions calculation. In this event, Provider may invoke binding arbitration of the increased cost amount by notice to the Commission. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except as otherwise provided herein. A final arbitration decision shall be rendered no later than ninety (90) days after the date on which Provider provides notice to the Commission that it has invoked arbitration. To the extent the arbitration panel finds that a change in law has increased the Providers costs and that the Provider is entitled to a corresponding increase in the price of Standard Offer Service, the arbitration panel will have the authority to award the Provider a liquidated amount payable for service already provided at the increased cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon receipt of reasonable prior direct notification of a proposed Change in Law, the Provider fails within the time prescribed in such notice to inform the fb88 Legislature or the Commission, pursuant to applicable procedures identified in such notice, of the impact that a Change in Law under consideration would have on Providers cost to provide standard offer service, Provider shall not be entitled to cause the Commission to undertake action with respect to its increased costs or to engage in arbitration proceedings with respect thereto as provided in clause (a) or (b) above. Termination by Commission. The unexcused occurrence of either of the following events shall constitute a  Provider Default: Provider fails to perform any of its material obligations under the Standard Offer Obligation in accordance with the requirements thereof, and the Commission, after notice and opportunity to be heard, finds that the failure justifies removal of the Provider as the standard offer provider. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Standard Offer Obligation, the Commission shall not take any remedial action against the Provider*+/0F\dfz  j (,46:>9=ȸȥȞȸȥȂuk_kX h RZCJhhzHh RZ>*CJhhzHh RZCJh jhzHh RZCJh hyCJh h CJh hQvCJh haCJh hcBCJh h.CJhhHh ">*CJhh "CJOJQJh h "h h "CJhh "hM5CJhh(5CJhhy5CJhh2T5CJhh "5CJh" Ffgyz 8:$& ! !'#(#$a$gdn3$a$gd RZ$a$$a$-]..="$&*z ! !!B!(###,,-----\.].^.`.a.c.d.f.g.i.~....ȼȼȼ{s{s{s{s{l{ h(h{ jh('RUh('Rh{ jh{ 0JUh9'UhIh " h "hjhR0JCJUh hsCJh h "CJhhHh ">*CJhh "CJOJQJh h RZCJhhOh RZ5CJhhzHh RZB*CJhphfhzHh RZCJh* as a result of a failure or default of Provider (including action(s) described in the RFP and Section 9 of Chapter 301) unless such event constitutes a Provider Default.
