an imminent threat to the integrity of Rocky Mountain Power’s electric system, or may materially
interfere with the performance of Rocky Mountain Power’s service obligations, Rocky Mountain
Power shall attempt to provide notice to Customer that Customer must change its operations. If
Customer fails to take corrective action on a timely basis, or if notice cannot be provided by
Rocky Mountain Power to Customer, prior to the time when corrective action must occur, then
Rocky Mountain Power may perform such work and/or take such corrective action that is
necessary, including disconnection, without additional notice to Customer and without subjecting
itself to any liability provided Rocky Mountain Power has acted reasonably. If Rocky Mountain
Power has performed the work and/or corrective action, as soon as practicable thereafter, Rocky
Mountain Power will advise Customer in writing of the work performed or the action taken and
will endeavor to arrange for the accommodation of Customer’s operations, subject to the terms of
this Agreement, the Electric Services Regulations, the guidelines and standards contained in the
