Security Arrangements Infrastructure security of electric system equipment and operations and control hardware and software is essential to ensure day-to-day reliability and operational security. FERC expects the NYISO, the Connecting Transmission Owner, Market Participants, and Interconnection Customers interconnected to electric systems to comply with the recommendations offered by the President’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Board and, eventually, best practice recommendations from the electric reliability authority. All public utilities are expected to meet basic standards for system infrastructure and operational security, including physical, operational, and cyber-security practices.
Financial Security Arrangements At least 20 Business Days prior to the commencement of the design, procurement, installation, or construction of a discrete portion of the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Interconnection Facilities and Upgrades, the Interconnection Customer shall provide the Connecting Transmission Owner, at the Interconnection Customer’s option, a guarantee, a surety bond, letter of credit or other form of security that is reasonably acceptable to the Connecting Transmission Owner and is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction where the Point of Interconnection is located. Such security for payment shall be in an amount sufficient to cover the costs for constructing, designing, procuring, and installing the applicable portion of the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Interconnection Facilities and Upgrades and shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis for payments made to the Connecting Transmission Owner under this Agreement during its term. The Connecting Transmission Owner may draw on any such security to the extent that the Interconnection Customer fails to make any payments due under this Agreement. In addition:
6.3.1 The guarantee must be made by an entity that meets the creditworthiness requirements of the Connecting Transmission Owner, and contain terms and conditions that guarantee payment of any amount that may be due from the Interconnection Customer, up to an agreed-to maximum amount.
6.3.2 The letter of credit or surety bond must be issued by a financial institution or insurer reasonably acceptable to the Connecting Transmission Owner and must specify a reasonable expiration date.
6.3.3 Notwithstanding the above, Security posted for System Upgrade Facilities for a Small Generating Facility required to enter the Class Year process, or cash or Security provided for System Deliverability Upgrades, shall meet the requirements for Security contained in Attachment S to the ISO OATT.
Equity Arrangements On the Change of Control, and notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Option Plan, the Second Amended and Restated 1996 Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan or the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (or any plans that may become the successors to such plans) and any equity incentive agreements entered into between the Company and the Executive pursuant to such plans or otherwise, cause any unexercisable installments of any equity of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company held by the Executive pursuant to any such equity incentive agreement on the Executive’s last date of employment with the Company that have not expired to become exercisable, or in the case of any then effective restrictions on the vesting of any equity of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company held by the Executive pursuant to any such equity incentive agreement, to cause such restrictions to lapse, as the case may be, on the Change of Control; and
Local Agreements Disputes arising under signed local agreements, which are supplementary to the Labour Agreement, shall be subject to the grievance procedure contained herein.
Business Arrangements Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has granted rights to develop, manufacture, produce, assemble, distribute, license, market or sell its products to any other person and is not bound by any agreement that affects the exclusive right of the Company or such subsidiary to develop, manufacture, produce, assemble, distribute, license, market or sell its products.

(i) prepare and file a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form, and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to (x) become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and (y) remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the Expiration Date, and similarly comply with applicable state securities laws;
(ii) use its best efforts to list (or continue the listing of) the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on a national securities exchange or to meet the eligibility requirements for quotation on a national securities exchange and to list (and continue the listing of) the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on a national securities exchange;

General Agreements The parties agree that:
(a) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx'x Responsibility. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx is not acting as a fiduciary, foundation manager, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor or investment adviser in respect of any Account opened by Customer. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx shall have no responsibility hereunder for compliance with any law or regulation governing the conduct of fiduciaries, foundation managers, commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors or investment advisers. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx agrees to furnish to the Customer as soon as practicable all of the information from time to time in its possession which Customer may be required to furnish to its limited partners pursuant to its limited partnership agreement and as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx shall disclose such information regarding itself and its affiliates (including, without limitation, financial statements) as may be required by the Customer for SEC, CFTC and state blue sky disclosure purposes. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx agrees to notify the applicable trading advisor for the Customer (each a "Trading Advisor") immediately upon discovery of any error committed by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx or any of its agents with respect to a trade for the Customer's account which Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx believes was not executed or cleared in accordance with proper instructions given by the Customer, its Trading Advisors or any other authorized agent of Customer. Errors made by floor brokers appointed or selected by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx shall constitute errors made by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx. However, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx shall not be responsible for errors committed by the Trading Advisors. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx agrees to report to DWR its own errors and the errors of any Trading Advisor for the Account which Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx becomes aware of, provided that such reporting may be via telephone. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to comply with such reporting obligation does not increase Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx'x liability for its own errors beyond that otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor does it make Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx in any way responsible for errors committed by the Trading Advisors. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx acknowledges that the other partnerships of which Demeter Management Corporation (the general partner of Customer) is the general partner, do not constitute affiliates of the Customer.
