40.1 System Description (cont'd)
(b) The LINK® System provides on-line help, a search function that permits a LINK®
Subscriber to locate information concerning a specific transaction, and menus

information. The LINK® System will permit a LINK® System Subscriber to
electronically download information on transactions from the LINK® System and

download. Algonquin shall maintain and retain daily back-up records of the
information displayed on the LINK® System and the Web Site and through
electronic data interchange for three years and shall permit LINK® System
Subscriber to review those records upon request. Completed transactions will
remain on the LINK® System for at least ninety days after completion and will
then be archived. Archived information will be made available by Algonquin if
possible within two weeks after receipt of a Customer's request for such
information. Information on the most recent entries will appear ahead of older
information.
