2. RECITALS
This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts, among others:
2.1 Certain of the Parties to this Agreement entered into a prior
agreement ("Prior Agreement") dated December 16, 1994 to provide
one another with mutual assistance. This Prior Agreement set
forth procedures governing the requesting and providing of
assistance in the restoration of electric service. It is the intention
of the Parties that this new Agreement, when signed by the Parties
shall be effective for requesting or providing Assistance for the
restoration of electric service following natural or man-made
disasters which may occur on or after the date on which each of
the Parties involved in the requesting or providing of Assistance
signed this Agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement the Prior
Agreement shall terminate, except that any rights or obligations
which arose under the Prior Agreement shall remain unaffected by
this new Agreement. Upon satisfaction of any such rights or
obligations, the Prior Agreement shall be of no further validity or
effect.
O1/27/99 3
• •
2.2 Being a Party to this Agreement does not by itself assure any Party
that Assistance will be provided if, when or as requested. Each
Party reserves the sole right to respond or not to respond to
requests for Assistance on a case-by-case basis. By signing this
Agreement, each Party thereby agrees that any Assistance which is
received or given upon the request of a Party to this Agreement
shall be subject to each and every one of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
2.3 The Parties own, operate and maintain electric utility facilities and
are engaged in the production, acquisition, transmission, and / or
distribution of electricity.
2.4 Each of the Parties operates and maintains their respective
facilities within accepted industry practices and employs skilled
personnel to operate, repair and maintain such facilities according
to such industry practices.
2.5 It is in the mutual interest of the Parties to be prepared to provide
for emergency repair to such systems and facilities on a reciprocal
basis. The purpose of this new Agreement is to provide the
procedures under which one Party may request and receive
assistance from another Party. This new Agreement is also
designed to allow a new Party to join in the Agreement by signing a
copy of this Agreement following the giving of notice to the existing
Parties.
2.6 Assistance for labor shortages due to work stoppages are beyond
the scope of this Agreement.
THEREFORE THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
3. SCOPE OF ASSISTANCE

transmission, distribution, and/or related facilities owned or
controlled by a Party, such Party ("Requesting Party") may request
another Party ("Assisting Party") to provide Assistance. , The
Assisting Party shall, in its sole discretion, determine if it shall
provide such Assistance. If the Assisting Party determines to
provide Assistance, such Assistance shall be provided in
