This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between
NORTHERN BORDER PIPELINE COMPANY, ("Company") and
_____________________________________ ("Customer"). Company and
Customer shall be collectively referred to as "Parties."
WHEREAS Customer desires to access Company's electronic customer interface

accessing any other available application, current or future, deemed necessary and
made available by the Company.
WHEREAS, Company is willing to allow Customer such access in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein, the Parties
agree as follows:
1.
Company shall provide Customer with a separate log-on identification code ("ID
Codes") and password for each of Customer's employees designated by
Customer. In addition, Company shall provide Customer communication
software for access to the Customer interface system (the ID Codes, passwords,
communication software and the network are cumulatively referred to herein as

who will utilize the System must first complete and return to Company the
currently effective System access form(s). Customer shall maintain the ID
Codes and passwords in the utmost confidence and shall not use the System
except as authorized herein and shall not disclose ID Codes or passwords to
others. If any employee of Customer leaves the employment of Customer or
his/her scope of employment does not require access to the System, Customer
will immediately so notify Company. Customer agrees to take all necessary
precautions to ensure that no other party, except its authorized employees, shall
utilize the ID Codes, and/or passwords.
2.
Except for the restricted right to utilize the System provided herein, Customer is
granted no rights under the System. Customer shall not copy the System or use
the System to prepare derivative works. Customer shall properly utilize the
System in accordance with Company's instructions, shall make no effort to
improperly access the System network or the computers on which the System is
operating, and shall make no effort to reverse-engineer the System.
