Sorry I didn't come up with more concrete examples. I'm really concerned
about my dad, although I try to deny it.

I still think that we should insulate ENA on the next deal.

Subject: Salmon Energy Post-Closing Risks Justifying Guaranty

Steve, per our phone conversation, the following are examples of post-closing
risks that justify Delta's provision of a Parent Guaranty:

- Delta Affiliate issues a $5 million Change Order to GE, but doesn't have
the money to pay for it; Enron decides to pay for that change order in order
to maintain our relationship with GE and then Enron's recourse is limited to
the Delta Affiliate that defaulted on the GE Change Order payment in the
first place

- Delta Affiliate stops paying for the Insurance that the LLC must have;
Enron decides to make the Insurance payments and then must recover the costs
from the Delta Affiliate

- Despite its representations, Delta Affiliate has incurred a brokerage fee,
defaults in that payment, Enron covers it and then must recover from Delta
Affiliate

- Delta Affiliate incurs some third party personal injury liability and Enron
becomes liable for it, and can seek recovery from the Delta Affiliate

- Delta Affiliate breaches the agreement and Enron seeks damages which are
limited to what it can recover only from the Delta Affiliate

As a compromise, there could be a monetary cap on the guaranty that it be
tied to the Transaction Value (ie $68 million)
