ROLE OF THE TOWN Under this ESA, the Town shall not actually receive, take title to, or be liable for the supply or delivery of All-Requirements Power Supply in any manner whatsoever. The Parties specifically agree that the role of the Town is to i) set the terms and conditions under which All- Requirements Power Supply will be provided by the Competitive Supplier under this ESA and to ensure that the Competitive Supplier complies with those terms and conditions, and ii) act as agent for Eligible Consumers with respect to the matters addressed in this ESA. It is the sole obligation of the Competitive Supplier to arrange for delivery of All-Requirements Power Supply to Participating Consumers. The Parties agree that Town is not a “distribution company”, “electric company”, “generation company” or “transmission company” within the meaning of M.G.L. c. 164, § 1 as a result of this ESA, unless a court, the Department, or other lawful authority shall adjudicate to the contrary; provided, however, that the Town may be considered to be operating a municipal load aggregation plan pursuant to M.G.L. c. 164, § 134. The Competitive Supplier hereby agrees that it will take no action that would make the Town liable to any Participating Consumer due to any act or failure to act on the part of the Competitive Supplier relating to the delivery or supply of All-Requirements Power Supply.
