If bids are solicited from exhibitors for the licensing of a motion picture within the state, then:
(1) The invitation to bid shall specify (i) the number and length of runs for which the bid is being solicited, whether it is a first, second or subsequent run, and the geographic area for each run; (ii) the earliest availability date of the motion picture; (iii) the names of all exhibitors who are being solicited; (iv) the date and hour the invitation to bid expires; and (v) the location, including the address, where the bids will be opened, which shall be within the state, or at the local exchange serving the geographic area for which the bids have been requested.
(2) All bids shall be submitted in writing and shall be opened at the same time and in the presence of those exhibitors, or their agents, who submitted bids and are present at such time.
(3) After being opened, bids shall be subject to examination by any exhibitors, or their agents, who submitted bids. Within seven business days after a bid is accepted, the distributor shall notify in writing each exhibitor who submitted a bid of the terms of the accepted bid and the name of the winning bidder. Bids shall be kept on file at the local exchange for a period of sixty days after acceptance, and may be examined by any competitive exhibitor during that period during the regular business hours of the local exchange.
(4) Once bids are solicited for a particular run, the distributor may subsequently license the picture only by bidding for that run and shall solicit rebids if he does not accept any of the submitted bids.
