This sounds like a 1-year proposal, because there's no mention of engines funished by Renault or, perhaps later, from Audi, Honda, etc. if they should also furnish PU's to teams.
This offer should include/extend to any/all new teams which are accepted for F1 racing in 2015 and teams, like Caterham, which return to the grid in 2015 after re-organization by new owners during this off-season or during the season. And it should include 100% of the provision and use charges by the furnishing constructors, not just some cercentile "game."
I assume that this offer relates only to "rented" engines, so that there would be no ownership of engines by CVC which definitely could be improperly leveraged against receiving teams, to manipulate them. There should be absolutely no "strings" of control or management influence by CVC on receiving teams which exceeds that which they have most recently endured via direct dealings with Merc or Ferarri. That includes CVC arranging for cheap, "second class" PU's or those without the same upgrades as/when the furnishing constuctors provide those to their own "factory-associated" teams and to others with membership in the Strategy Group who don't get these subsidies.
