Network Integration Customers’

hydroelectric power subject to spill or

threatened spill. The Receiving Party

shall have responsibility for curtailing

unless otherwise provided in the

Service Agreement.

8. Service Agreements

8.1 Requirement for a Signed Service

Agreement

Bonneville shall provide Energy

Transmission Service under this Tariff

only to Customers that have signed a

Service Agreement with Bonneville. For

nonfirm service hereunder, Bonneville

and the Customer may enter into an

‘‘umbrella’’ Service Agreement that

would provide the Customer

transmission access to the Bonneville

system to the extent that capacity is

available on Bonneville’s system,

subject to the scheduling provisions set

forth in section 7. The ‘‘umbrella’’

Service Agreement shall contain, among

other provisions, the term, scheduling

provisions and interruption rights, a

statement that any Points of

Interconnection or Points of Delivery on

Bonneville’s Energy Transmission

Facilities may be used for transmitting

and receiving energy, and billing

information, including the rates and

charges for such service. For short-term

firm service hereunder, Bonneville and

the Customer may enter into a

transaction specific ‘‘short-term firm’’

Service Agreement that would provide

the Customer transmission access to the

Energy Transmission Facilities to the

extent capacity is available on

Bonneville’s system. Such Service

Agreement shall contain the same

information that appears in the

‘‘umbrella’’ Service Agreement except

that the Point(s) of Interconnection and

the Point(s) of Delivery shall be

specified. In addition, the ‘‘short-term

firm’’ Service Agreement shall include

both the demand and total amount of

energy to be delivered.

8.2 Obligations on Acceptance of

Service

Acceptance of service by a Customer

pursuant to a Service Agreement under

this Tariff commits the Customer and

Bonneville both to the provisions of this

Tariff and to the terms of the individual

Service Agreement.

9. Billing

Bonneville shall bill in accordance

with the billing information in

Appendix A, General Rate Schedule

Provisions, or successor, or as they may

from time to time be revised.

10. Records

10.1 Recordkeeping Obligations

Bonneville and the Customer shall

keep such records as may be needed to

afford a clear history of all transactions

under this Tariff. The originals of all

such records shall be retained for a

minimum of 2 years plus the current

year (or such longer period as may be

appropriate and copies shall be

delivered to the other party on request.)

10.2 Customer’s Right to Examine

Records

The Customer shall have the right,

during normal business hours, to

examine the accounting and other

records for the last 2 calendar years

relating to its transactions under this

Tariff and shall have the right to make

such audits and copies of records as it

shall deem necessary or desirable. Such

examinations shall be at the Customer’s

expense and may be conducted no more

frequently than once every 2 years.

11. Liability and Indemnification

11.1 Western Interconnected Systems

Agreement

If an Applicant is a party to the

Western Interconnected Systems

Agreement Limiting Liability, such

agreement shall continue in full force

and effect as between the parties to the

extent that such provisions may apply

to the transactions contemplated by this

Tariff.

11.2 No Western Interconnected

Systems Agreement

If an Applicant is not a party to the

Western Interconnected Systems

Agreement Limiting Liability and there

is no other agreement on file with the

Commission governing liability and

indemnification between Bonneville

and the Customer, then in such event

additional provisions for protection of

electric generation facilities or

transmission facilities and liability and

indemnification may be required. Such

additional provisions shall be set forth

in the Applicant’s Service Agreement.

12. Creditworthiness

For the purpose of determining the

ability of the Customer to meet its

obligations related to service hereunder,

Bonneville may require reasonable

credit review procedures which may

include, but shall not be limited to,

verification that the Customer is not

operating under any State or Federal

bankruptcy laws, is not subject to the

uncertainty of pending liquidation or

regulatory proceedings in State or

Federal courts, and no significant

collection lawsuits or judgments are

outstanding which would seriously

reflect upon the Customer’s ability, in

Bonneville’s determination, to remain

solvent. In addition, Bonneville may

require the Customer to provide and

maintain in effect during the term of the

Service Agreement, an unconditional

and irrevocable letter of credit as

security to meet its responsibilities and

obligations under this Tariff or an

alternative form of security proposed by

the Customer and acceptable to

Bonneville that protects Bonneville’s

Native Load Customers against the risk

of nonpayment. Any disputes over the

terms of such security arrangements

shall be subject to the provisions of the

Tariff.

13. Procedures to Resolve Transmission

Complaints

Any complaint arising from an

Application hereunder may be resolved,

at the Customer’s discretion, by either:

(a) A voluntary dispute resolution

process, which may include mediation

or arbitration or both, pursuant to the

terms of a regional transmission

association governing agreement, or

such other dispute resolution rules as

may be agreed to by Bonneville and the

Customer; or

(b) A transmission complaint filed

with the Commission.

Issued in Portland, Oregon, on February
