Transaction Agreement - Ormet Primary Aluminum Corp.

Dan,

On 12/29/00 deal # 548711 was entered into Sitara for a contract to be
attached. Within this deal there were Special Handling Instructions which
read: "This is a firm, full requirements sale to Ormet. Also served to
Cypress. Please use the Transaction Agreement prepared by Dan Hyvl already
executed by Ormet, rather than generate a new confirm."

I created a GTC Sale Firm for this deal because the agreement mentioned in
red could not be found in the Global database. Since the notes mentioned
that this particular agreement was prepard by you, I was hoping that you
could clarify if this agreement was circulated our way (meaning if it had
been sent to the Global Contracts group). Please Advise.
