1. Interpretation

(a) Agreement. When used herein, the term “Agreement” means this agreement and all Schedules attached hereto.

(b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement or any Schedule to this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail.

2. Retainer and Services/Deliverables

The Service Provider will provide such additional support as may be required from time to time for the completion of the Services and its proper performance.

(d) Inspection and Warranty. The OPA will have the right to review the delivery of the Services at all times and may notify the Service Provider in respect of Services which are found to be deficient or otherwise not in accordance with specifications and statements set out in the Agreement or otherwise required by law.

This will include, but is not limited to, all reports, policy manuals, implementation plans and written work (howsoever recorded, that is, whether written or on digital media) and data prepared by the Service Provider under the Agreement which are found, within a period of one year from date of transmittal to the OPA, to be incomplete or inaccurate due to a failure to comply with the Agreement or with said specifications and standards.

(b) Compliance with Privacy Laws. The Service Provider agrees to comply with all Privacy Laws applicable to either it or the OPA in relation to Personal Information and shall refrain from taking any action that could cause the OPA to be in non-compliance with any such Privacy Laws. The Service Provider agrees to name a person (or persons) to be responsible for ensuring compliance with the obligations of this section and shall advise the OPA of the name of such individual and any replacement(s). The Service Provider agrees to cooperate with the OPA in connection with any access requests for Personal Information as provided for in the Privacy Laws.

(i) Each party agrees not to divulge or communicate to any person or use for a purpose other than delivering the Services required under this contract without the other party’s prior written consent, any confidential, technical or commercially sensitive information

belonging to either party or its officers, stakeholders and/or third parties (the “Confidential Information”), whenever received by the receiving party and in whatever capacity. For the purposes of this clause, and by way of illustration and not limitation, information is prima facie secret and confidential if it relates to either the OPA’s or its respective stakeholders and/or third party contractors: power system planning information, business methods and strategies; production and delivery capabilities; customers and details of their particular requirements; costings, profit margins, and other financial information of any nature; marketing strategies and tactics; current activities and current and future plans relating to any or all developments; and any information relating to the purpose, nature and provisions of this Agreement.

(ii) The receiving party shall limit the disclosure of the Confidential Information to only those of its employees who have a need to know it and who have been specifically authorized to have such disclosure. The receiving party shall return all of the Confidential Information once the receiving party has completed its Services under this contract and shall not retain any copies of the Confidential Information unless required legally to do so.

(iii) Except as required in the performance of the Services or as authorized in writing by the owner, or as required by applicable law, each party will keep confidential all Confidential Information of the other.

(iv) Except for disclosures required by law, each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by the party, its representatives and any person to whom it discloses any Confidential Information. The parties agree that a party would be irreparably injured by a disclosure of Confidential Information and that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy. Therefore, in such event, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief without proof of actual damages, as well as specific performance. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.

(v) These restrictions will continue to apply after the termination of this Agreement, without limit in time but will cease to apply to information which enters the public domain otherwise than through unauthorized disclosure by the Service Provider.

(iii) “Governmental Authority” means any federal, provincial, or municipal government, parliament or legislature, or any regulatory authority, agency, tribunal, commission, board or department of any such government, parliament or legislature, or any court or other law, regulation or rule-making entity, having jurisdiction in the relevant circumstances, including the Independent Electricity System Operator, the Ontario Energy Board, the Electrical Safety Authority, and any person acting under the authority of any Governmental Authority, but excluding the OPA.
