4.__Electronic signatures.__A signature may not be denied legal effect, validity or enforceability solely because it is in the form of an electronic signature.__If a rule of law requires a signature, or provides consequences in the absence of a signature, an electronic signature satisfies that rule of law.

5.__Admissibility into evidence.__In any legal proceeding, nothing in the application of the rules of evidence may apply so as to deny the admissibility of an electronic record or electronic signature into evidence on the sole ground that it is an electronic record or an electronic signature or on the grounds that it is not in its original form or is not an original.

6.__Originals.__If a rule of law requires a record to be presented or retained in its original form, or provides consequences for the record not being presented or retained in its original form, that requirement is met by an electronic record if it accurately reproduces the original record as it existed at the time in question.

7.__Retention of electronic records.__If a rule of law requires that a record be retained, that requirement is met by retaining an electronic record if it accurately reproduces the original record as it existed at the time in question and for so long as may be required by law.__Nothing in this section precludes any federal or state agency from specifying additional requirements for the retention of records, either written or electronic, that are subject to the jurisdiction of that agency.

8.__Business entities.__A contract between business entities may not be unenforceable, nor inadmissible in evidence, on the sole ground that the contract is evidenced by an electronic record or that it has been signed with an electronic signature.__ For purposes of this subsection, "contract" means a contract for the sale of goods or services, for the sale or license of digital information or for the lease of tangible personal property.

A.__Nothing in this subsection may be construed to prevent a party from establishing reasonable requirements with respect to the method executed or adopted by a party to sign a contract, absent agreement to the contrary.

B.__Nothing in this subsection may be construed to mean that electronic records and electronic signatures do not satisfy
