TRADING PARTNER AGREEMENT
for the Electronic Data Interchange
of Information Over the Public Internet
Section 1. Prerequisites. (Continued)
1.4. Security Procedures. Each party, in its sole discretion and
expense, shall use and provide for the requisite levels of security which are
reasonably sufficient to ensure that all transmissions of Documents are
authorized by the parties and to protect their business records and data from
improper access. At a minimum, the parties shall provide and use those
security measures specified herein, in the NAESB standards as adopted by the
FERC, or as may be agreed upon by the parties as set forth in the Appendix.
1.5. Keys. When the parties are utilizing the Internet electronic
delivery mechanism as herein contemplated, each party shall maintain a Pretty
Good Privacy ("PGP") "public key," (an encryption algorithm used to facilitate
private electronic communication) which may be changed from time to time in
accordance with this Agreement or as may be set forth in the Appendix. Each
party shall provide to the other party its PGP public key by either (a) a
certified or receipted mail service using a diskette with the public key
contained in an ASCII text file, or (b) an electronic simple mail transfer
protocol (smtp) mail message with the public key contained in the body. Under
either option above, the public key shall be verified by the party to whom it
is sent by validating the fingerprint of the public key which may be
accomplished via telephone, fax, or other comparably reliable means. If a
party desires to change its public key, it shall provide at least five
business days prior notice thereof to the other party; provided that under an
emergency situation, a prior written notice of at least 24 hours shall be
given.
1.6. Electronic Signatures. Each party shall adopt as its signature
the PGP private key, where required by the Standards or otherwise agreed to by
the parties, in the Document transmitted by such party ("Signature Code(s)").
Such Signature Codes(s) shall be specified in the Appendix. Each party agrees
that the Signature Code(s) of such party affixed to or contained in any
transmitted Document shall be sufficient to verify that such party originated
the Document. Neither party shall disclose to any unauthorized person the
Signature Code(s) of the other party.
