RECITALS
WHEREAS, the parties desire to facilitate transactions, reports and
other information exchanged by electronically transmitting and receiving data
in agreed formats; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to assure that such transactions are not
legally invalid or unenforceable as a result of the use of available
electronic technologies for the mutual benefit of the parties; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement to govern their

WHEREAS, recognizing that this Trading Partner Agreement (TPA) is a
confidential document whose revelation could jeopardize the commerce and
communication that is conducted between the parties to this agreement, the
parties should take at least the same amount of care to secure this TPA as

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants herein
contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Prerequisites

receive from the other party any of the North American Energy Standards Board
("NAESB") transaction sets (collectively "Documents"). The Trading Partner
Worksheet (TPW) identifies such Documents and additional technical
specifications. The TPW acts as a technical supplement to this Agreement, but
is not incorporated in or considered a part of this Agreement. Any
transmission of data which is not a Document, a Functional Acknowledgement, an
electronic delivery mechanism error notification, or a time-stamp receipt
response or record (collectively "Data Communications") shall have no force or
effect between the parties. All Data Communications shall be transmitted in
accordance with NAESB standards and published industry guidelines, and as set
forth in the Exhibit and/or TPW. The Exhibit to this Agreement is attached
hereto. Any modification of the provisions of this Agreement will also be
effective in the annexed Exhibit and/or the separate TPW, as appropriate.
