Marie -----Original Message----- From: Adam_Auten@xtoenergy.com@ENRON [mailto:IMCEANOTES-Adam+5FAuten+40xtoenergy+2Ecom+40ENRON@ENRON.com] Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 4:55 PM To: Heard, Marie Cc: Frank_McDonald@xtoenergy.com Subject: isda comments Ms. Heard, As we discussed, the following are our comments to the ISDA Master Agreement that you sent to Terry Schultz on May 30, 2001: General: 1. Our name has changed from Cross Timbers Oil Company to XTO Energy Inc. (a Delaware corporation) Schedule to the Master Agreement 1. Part 3. We would incorporate the same language for Party B as applies to Party A with regard to the delivery of financial statements. Our website address is www.xtoenergy.com. Propose that for both parties, strike the time requirement for sending financials in the event not available online (i.e. "in no event later than X days after the end of the X days following X period..." 2. Part 5(g). We like to strike "or otherwise" from line 4 and line 6 Credit Support Annex 1. "Threshold" needs to be updated for Party B to $60 million. This is consistent with the threshold levels indicated in a letter from Jason Williams dated January 5, 2001. 2. "Material Adverse Change" for Party B we would suggest that the definition be rewritten so that if our credit rating with S&P falls below B+ that would be a MAC (a two notch downgrade, and consistent with the change for Party A). In connection with this change we would propose striking the financial covenant tests (i) & (ii). This would also apply under the "Eligibility to Hold Posted Collateral" section. As a matter of form, this would permit us to strike the definitions of "EBITDA" and "EBITDA Coverage Ratio". 3. We'd like to remove Schedule 1 showing the form of letter of credit. This is not consistent with our currently issued letter of credit, the terms of which have been accepted by Enron. 4. We'd like to propose that the limit on the Enron guaranty to XTO Energy be increased from $25 mm to $50 mm to give us a little more flexibility for future deals. Questions/Clarifications: 1. Could you comment as to why under Part 1 (e) of the Schedule to the Master Lease you have selected to use the "Loss" as opposed to the "Market Quotation" method? We have no other ISDAs with this calculation method. 2. Under the Schedule to the Master Lease, what is the rationale for Part 4 (f) Netting of Payments? We found this a little murky. Please call me at 817-885-2260 if you have any questions about this comments. Thanks very much. Regards, Adam Auten Assistant Treasurer XTO Energy Inc.
