The ACCELERATE Subscriber may also designate one or more Authorized Personnel who are authorized
to execute the applicable Award Acknowledgement form through ACCELERATE for temporary capacity
release transactions awarded through Great Lakes' capacity release program and thereby legally
bind Subscriber to such executed Award Acknowledgement. Such individual shall be provided with a

to execute capacity release Award Acknowledgements. ACCELERATE Subscriber shall be bound by all

shall keep completely confidential, all USERIDs and passwords issued to ACCELERATE Subscriber
by Great Lakes. In addition, each Authorized Personnel shall not disclose to any other person,
and shall keep completely confidential, the individualized USERID and password issued to such
Authorized Personnel. ACCELERATE Subscriber shall be solely responsible for any and all
improper use of USERIDs and passwords related to any such unauthorized disclosure by Subscriber,
or former or current Authorized Personnel of Subscriber.
ACCELERATE Subscriber shall immediately inform Great Lakes in writing whenever it desires:
(1) to terminate access to ACCELERATE that has been previously granted to any Authorized
Personnel, or (2) to terminate or to limit the status of any Designated Personnel. ACCELERATE
Subscriber shall be solely responsible for any and all unauthorized or otherwise improper use of
USERIDs and passwords by Authorized Personnel that at some point are no longer employed or
controlled by ACCELERATE Subscriber. Great Lakes reserves the right, upon cause, to invalidate
any password or USERID. Great Lakes will provide notice and inform the ACCELERATE Subscriber as
to the reason for the invalidation.
Neither ACCELERATE Subscriber nor Great Lakes shall be liable in damages to the other for any

binding order of any court or governmental authority that has been resisted in good faith by all
reasonable legal means, and any other cause, whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise,
and whether caused or occasioned by or happening on account of the act or omission of ACCELERATE
Subscriber or Great Lakes or some other person or concern, not within the control of the claiming
party and that by the exercise of due diligence such party is unable to prevent or overcome. A
failure to settle or to prevent any strike or other controversy with employees or with anyone
purporting or seeking to represent employees shall not be considered to be a matter within the
control of the party. Such causes or contingencies affecting the performance of this agreement
by ACCELERATE Subscriber or by Great Lakes shall not relieve it of liability in the event of its
concurring negligence or in the event of its failure to use due diligence to remedy the situation
and remove the cause in an adequate manner and with all reasonable dispatch.
