And Cosworth will supply standard engines from 2010 and beyond.

Actually, teams don't have to use the engine, but their engines cannot exceed the output of the cosworth engine.

The teams are given three options as of 2010: buy the engine at Cosworth, build your own engine but with the technical specs supplied by Cosworth or the right to continue to use a team's existing engine, with the current ban on development and requirement for engine parity still in place (noting that the engine supplied will become the reference engine for output and other performance indicators and no engine will be permitted to exceed those indicators).
