Clement,
Russell Diamond of the Enron Credit group would like Enron to issue to
Engage (now known as Coastal Merchant Energy, L.P.) a blanket guarantee
covering obligations of ENA, EPMI, ECC and Clinton Energy Management
Services, Inc. without necessarily tying those obligations to specific
contracts. Do you have a form of guaranty that could be used for this. I
think that the guaranty would still have a limit ($25MM)?. Please advise.

Russell,
The below two documents are the credit worksheet and the contract
relationship documents which you provided. The credit worksheet states that
the guaranty should cover ENA, EPMI, ECC and Clinton Energy Management
Services, Inc. and additionally should cover the master energy agreement with
EPMI. Do we have a date of execution or effective date for such master
energy agreement. The contract relationship document merely states that the
guaranty should cover the new master firm purchase sale agreement that ENA
is negotiating with Engage and an master energy agreement between EPMI and
____. No agreements of any type are specified for ECC or Clinton Energy
Management Services, Inc. Also, are any of the Master Swap agreements that
ENA has with Engage to be covered by the requested guaranty? I believe that
we need to get together at your convenience and determine exactly which
contracts Enron Corp. is to cover with the guaranty agreement being offered
as a part of the security for the Master Firm Purchase Sale Agreement.
Please let me know when you will be available to discuss.

Dan,

I provided all the information that you are asking for on the original credit
worksheet I e-mailed to ENA legal on August 29. You will notice in the
comments section the Enron entities I wanted covered in the guaranty along
with the Contracts that needed to be reference. If you need a copy the
specific contracts that need to be covered they can be obtained through the
documentation group, or through 'Live Link' on our computers. Please make
note of the name change that has now occurred with respect to Engage.

Russell

Russell,
We need closure on the guaranty issue. All of the guaranty formats you
provided to me covered specific enron entities under specific contracts that
were identified in the guaranty. If you can give me the specific contracts
for each of the other enron entities you want covered by the Gas physical
master contract of ENA whose payment obligations to Engage Energy Marketing,
L.P.you want guarantied by Enron, I will take the lead to draft the guaranty
and have it forward to Enron Corp for approval prior to sending it out as a
draft to Engage Energy Marketing, L.P.

Dan,

This is in response to my continued efforts with legal to make note of my
intended priority of executing a Master Firm with Coastal Energy (formerly
Engage US). As previous e-mails below indicate and phone calls with the ENA
legal group and Coastal, the draft has yet to be sent out. I have confirmed
with Coastal today, they have STILL not received the draft although are
expecting this from ENA. We have outstanding exposure with this entity and
is important from a credit, legal, and contractual standpoint that an
agreement is executed. I understand that in the past they have been
unwilling to negotiate a Master although I want one put in place. Please do
what you need to, to get this draft sent to the counterparty.

Regards,
Russell

Dan,

Per Debra's e-mail to me, why can we not include other entities on this
guaranty, it seems we have got guaranty's in place with other counterparty's
in which they reference specific contracts as well as entities not related to
the contract, i.e. Sempra, Duke, Aquila, Dynegy,......

Dan,
I see the execution of this contract as a priority considering the trading
volumes on Enron Online and current market conditions. I know in the past,
we have been unable to negotiate a Master Firm with Engage US, although their
legal group is fully aware of our request to negotiate a contract. Please
send the draft out to the contact listed on the credit worksheet and
priortize the negotiation of this contract.

Regards,
Russell

This draft has not been sent due to pending guaranty issues. The attached
has guaranties for The Coastal Corporation and Enron Corp. for 20mm / 30 mm
( per your change) and are specific to this agreement. Dan has advised the
guaranties are written for the agreement and we cannot change to include
other Enron Companies. You will need to contact Enron Corp. for a guaranty
to included other companies.

Please let me know how you wish to proceed. Finally, the contact on your
worksheet is Faye Carlin (713) 877-7133
