Provider Requirements 4.1 Standard Offer/TOU Offer Obligation Standard offer provider and TOU offer provider must provide service in a manner that complies with applicable fb88 law, Commission rules, this RFP and the TOU Program at the prices and terms it proposed and which were accepted by the Commission. Standard offer provider and TOU provider are responsible for all costs necessary to fulfill these obligations. Standard offer provider and TOU offer provider are responsible for all requirements and costs (and will receive any benefits) pursuant to wholesale market rules that apply to its standard offer and/or TOU offer load obligation. 4.2 Form of Service Standard offer service and TOU offer service are retail all requirements services. Standard offer service and TOU offer service include all obligations and charges that would be assessed to the load serving entity for the applicable load, including all Locational Marginal Pricing (energy, loss and congestion components), all costs and obligations that arise from nodal settlements for load, all capacity, ancillary services and other products and charges for the load, including any new or redefined products or charges, required to supply the electrical requirements of customers receiving standard offer service or TOU offer service at all times during the term of service in a manner that complies with all applicable rules and requirements. 4.3 Losses Standard offer service and TOU offer service include all transmission and distribution line and transformer losses associated with providing service from the point of supply to the customers meters. Standard offer provider and TOU offer provider must provide sufficient quantities of electric capacity, energy, ancillary and all other required products and services to cover all such losses for the loads they are obligated to serve. The factors that are currently used to determine line and transformer losses on CMPs system are contained in AppendixG. 4.4 Load Zone CMPs service territory is in the fb88 Load Zone as defined by ISO-NE Standard Market Design (SMD) and standard offer provider and TOU offer provider is responsible for all obligations for the applicable standard offer load related to this locational definition and any subsequent redefinition, including nodal settlement for load. 4.5 Transmission Charges CMP local transmission and distribution charges and Regional Network Service charges for standard offer and TOU offer service are paid by customers through their CMP retail rates and are not the responsibility of the standard offer or the TOU offer provider. 4.6 Financial Security Standard offer provider must provide financial security in accordance with this section and the related provisions in the Standard Agreement. 1) Base Security Amount: Residential and Small Non Residential Standard Offer (for 33% load segment) $ 12.0 million TOU Offer $ 550,000 Medium Standard Offer $ 14.0 million Large Standard Offer $ 5.0 million fixed prices $ 250,000 indexed The Base Security amount for a Large Class Indexed bid or the TOU Offer shall not decline during the term of service. The other base security amounts may decline, pro rata, during the term of service. If a provider is designated for less than 100% of the load, the amount shall be adjusted to reflect the providers % share. Excess Market Exposure Security The incremental replacement cost of standard offer and TOU offer supply during the remaining term of service in excess of the Base Security for the class, as determined from time to time using commercially reasonable practices, The Base Security must be furnished to CMP with a copy to the Commission no later than three business days after the date the Commission designates the provider such that CMP can access the full amount of the financial security on that date. Any Excess Market Exposure Security required during the term of the obligation must be furnished to CMP no later than three business days after CMP provides notification. The Base Security and, if applicable, Excess Market Exposure Security cannot expire or be cancelled prior to the date 30 days after the end of the applicable term of service unless replacement financial security that meets the requirements of Chapter 301 and this RFP and is accepted by the Commission is provided. The expiration or termination of the financial security shall not affect obligations incurred while the financial security was in effect. The Commission retains the right to obtain further information about any financial security furnished by provider, and final acceptance shall be at the sole discretion of the Commission. 2) Instrument: A corporate guarantee must (i)unconditionally obligate the guarantor to pay all obligations of the provider for the costs of replacement service, up to the applicable cap; (ii)be executed by a corporation meeting the applicable credit rating and net worth criteria set forth in the table below; and (iii)conform with the Standard Form Guaranty provided in Appendix K or an accepted alternative. The amount of any corporate guarantee for any class may not exceed the applicable Guarantee Cap set forth below:    If a provider is selected to serve more than one class of standard offer customer, the Guarantor may provide a combined guarantee document for all classes served so long as the Guarantee Caps set forth below are met.  Overall Exposure: In addition, the aggregate guarantee exposure to any specific guarantor shall be analyzed under the asset test and the common equity test described in the Commissions Rule 301 (3)(B)(3)(b)(ii)and (iii) respectively. If the aggregate of all guarantees provided by a guarantor for standard offer and TOU offer service in a particular utilitys service area fail either test a corporate guarantee will not constitute acceptable security, or will be limited in amount to the level where the test can still be met. Additionally, the Commission, at its discretion, may otherwise limit guarantee amounts. Suppliers that intend to rely on a corporate guarantee must provide sufficient information with their indicative bid to allow the Commission to evaluate their guarantor. Security requirements in excess of the Guarantee Cap must be provided by: (1) an irrevocable letter of credit from a federal or state licensed financial institution satisfying the requirements of section 3 of Chapter 301 and subparagraph (3) below; or (2) cash accompanied by proper documentation so as to perfect a security interest. Any irrevocable letter of credit provided must (i)unconditionally obligate the issuing commercial bank(s) to honor drafts drawn on such letter(s) for the purpose of paying the costs of replacement standard offer or TOU offer service; (ii)be issued by commercial bank(s) with a minimum corporate debt rating of BBB+ by Standard & Poors or Fitch or Baa1 by Moodys, or an equivalent short term debt rating by one of these agencies; and (iii)include the following language: This letter of credit binds the insurer to pay one or more drafts drawn by Central fb88 Power Company as long as the drafts do not exceed the total amount of the letter of credit; and that any draft presented by Central fb88 Power Company will be honored by the issuer upon presentation. If the corporate debt ratings of an issuing bank drop below the above specified levels, the standard offer provider shall promptly: (1) notify the Commissions Director of Electricity and Natural Gas and CMP in writing; and (2) provide replacement security that satisfies the requirements of Chapter 301 and this RFP. 4.7 License Standard offer and TOU offer provider must at all times during the term of service possess a valid license, pursuant to Chapter 305 of the Commissions rules, to provide standard offer service. The providers license must be effective as of the date it is designated a standard offer or TOU offer provider. 4.8 Standard Offer Service Agreement Standard offer provider and TOU offer provider must have an executed Service Agreement with CMP within 24 hours of being designated. (See Appendix C for a Standard Form Service Agreement.) 4.9 Resource Portfolio Requirement Standard offer provider and TOU offer provider must comply with the resource portfolio requirements of Chapter 311 of the Commissions Rules. 4.10 Disclosure Requirement For the Residential and Small Non Residential Standard Offer and TOU Offer Service, CMP will produce and make available on its website standard offer service disclosure labels pursuant to Chapter 306 of the Commissions rules on behalf of standard offer provider and TOU offer provider. Provider must supply CMP with the information needed to prepare accurate and timely labels to be posted on CMPs website. 4.11 ISO-NE/NEPOOL Requirements Standard offer provider and TOU offer provider (or an affiliate) must comply with all applicable ISO-NE requirements, (and those of any successor entity or entities), and shall be the designated load serving entity with a settlement account for the applicable load. The necessary ISO-NE designations and accounts must be effective at least 30 business days prior to the start of the service term. 4.12 EBT Standard offer and TOU offer provider must exchange data with CMP using the electronic business transactions (EBT) protocols and procedures contained in fb88s EBT standards.

Specific information on net billing can be obtained from CMP. Standard offer provider must comply with the requirements of Chapter315 of the Commissions Rules. This rule requires standard offer providers to purchase the aggregated output of generators in CMPs service territory with a capacity of 5 MW or less at applicable clearing prices such that the standard offer provider is financially neutral to the transaction. If there are multiple standard offer providers for this class, the output and corresponding purchase obligation will be allocated in proportion to each providers load obligation. These provisions do not apply to TOU offer providers, nor to providers of medium and large class standard offer service. 5. BILLING AND PAYMENT 5.1 Allocation of Uncollectible Accounts Standard offer providers and TOU offer providers are allocated a fixed percentage amount for expected uncollectible revenue in accordance with the Standard Service Agreement. The uncollectible percentage is specified in Exhibit A to the Standard Service Agreement (Appendix C) and will remain fixed for the providers term of service. 5.2 Payments for Standard Offer Service and TOU Offer Service CMP will issue bills and receive payments from customers for standard offer service and TOU offer service and will transfer funds to the standard offer provider in accordance with the Service Agreement. Standard offer and TOU offer provider will receive gross revenues less uncollectible revenues for the applicable standard offer or TOU offer sales. Gross revenues are the product of the providers accepted bid price times the applicable kilowatt and/or kilowatthour sales. Uncollectible revenues are the product of the applicable uncollectible percent times gross revenues. 6. PROVIDER LEGAL OBLIGATIONS 6.1 Legal Obligations and Responsibilities Designation by Commission Order of a bidder as a standard offer provider or TOU offer provider legally obligates the bidder to provide the applicable service at the offered and accepted prices and terms in accordance with fb88 law and regulations and the provisions of this RFP. 6.2 Provider Default Upon a determination that a standard offer or TOU offer provider has failed to provide service as required or has otherwise failed to fulfill its applicable obligations, the Commission may declare such provider to be in default. If the Commission declares a provider to be in default, the Commission will take one or more actions specified in section 9 of Chapter301. The defaulting provider shall be responsible for and obligated to pay the additional costs of replacement standard offer or TOU service, as applicable. Additional costs of replacement standard offer and/or TOU offer service are all costs that are incurred or will be incurred to acquire replacement standard offer and/or TOU offer service, including supply, administrative and enforcement costs, through the remaining standard offer and/or TOU offer term that exceed the amounts paid or to be paid by customers at the rates in effect at the time of the Commissions declaration of a providers default. . If the Commission declares a provider to be in default and there are additional costs of replacement service, it may direct CMP to (1) withhold any payments due to the defaulting provider and use those amounts to cover additional costs of replacement service; and (2) use amounts from the financial security provided by or on behalf of the defaulting provider to cover the additional costs of replacement service. In the event that the defaulting provider fails to pay the additional costs of replacement service, as ordered by the Commission and the amounts obtained by CMP from the financial security are not sufficient to cover the additional costs of replacement service, the Commission or fb88s Attorney General may bring legal action in fb88 courts to fully recover these amounts. 7. Other RFP Provisions 7.1 Proprietary Information A bidder may designate information included in its proposal as proprietary or confidential information. The Commission will take every reasonable step, consistent with law, to protect information that is clearly identified as proprietary or confidential on the page on which it appears.

In this situation, the Commission may at its sole discretion terminate the RFP and initiate a new selection process. The Commission reserves the right to reject any proposal that in its sole determination does not meet the requirements and specifications of this RFP, the Commissions rules, fb88 law, or generally accepted business practices. The Commission may ask bidders to clarify or supplement their proposals and may at its sole discretion allow bidders to conform proposals to the required specifications. 7.4 State Held Harmless The State of fb88, its officers, agents, and employees, including the fb88 Public Utilities Commission, Commissioners and the employees or agents of the fb88 Public Utilities Commission shall be held harmless from any and all claims, costs, expenses, injuries, liabilities, losses and damages of every kind and description resulting from or arising out of this RFP, the designation of providers or the provision of service. 7.5. Warranty The information contained in the RFP and provided subsequently is prepared to assist bidders and does not purport to contain all of the information that may be relevant to bidders. The Commission makes no representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information. The Commission, its staff and its agents shall not have any liability for any representations expressed or implied in, or any omissions from, the RFP or information obtained by bidders from the Commission, its staff, its agents or any other source.

The applicable data set codes and descriptions are NIISO New England Mass Hub Day-Ahead Peak Calendar-Month 2.5 MW Futures and KIISO New England Mass Hub Off-Peak LMP Futures.  If the 15th day of the month occurs on a weekend or holiday such that prices are not published, then prices for the next available date will be used.  Rating is the corporate credit rating of Guarantor. If Guarantor does not have a corporate credit rating, then Rating is the rating of Guarantors senior unsecured debt. If Guarantor has neither a corporate credit rating nor rated senior unsecured debt, then Rating is the rating of Guarantors senior secured debt. . The structure and credit support of the Guarantee shall be the same as the structure and credit support inherent in Guarantors applicable corporate credit rating, senior unsecured debt rating or senior secured debt rating.
