Thanks for the input. I'll see what we can figure out.

The current structure (including VEPCO in Cornhusker under our Fair Value
Model) does not contemplate credit support. There currently is not credit
support of the actual project co (Ponderosa Pine) under the Cornhusker
structure. ENA typically does not provide credit support of project co's
under the fair value model because of certain bright line tests under the
fair value model for an asset purchase to qualify for fair value.

From a bank financing and economic perspective, ENA has a total return swap
with Delta Power, the 100% owner of Ponderosa Pine (Ponderosa Pine is
bankruptcy remote).

There possibly could be credit support from ENA for the project co if we were
compensated a fair value fee for the support, but this issue has never been
tested with AALLP (would need third party fairness opinion). In the end,
there could only be a form of financial support, not a performance
guarantee.

Virginia Power has raised a question about wanting some type of guaranty or
other form of performance security should an Enron LLC sign the contract.
What can we propose (or exclude) under the contemplated structure?

Thanks,

Kay
