Gerald:
In the second sentence of the letter, I think "Crescendo" should be inserted after "Therefore" and before "is." Also, Crescendo Energy Partners, LLC, not NG Resources, is the managing member of Crescendo Energy, LLC. Teresa Teresa G. Bushman Enron North America Corp. 1400 Smith Street, EB 3812 Houston, TX 77002 (713) 853-7895 fax (713) 646-3393 teresa.g.bushman@enron.com Gerald Nemec 07/23/2000 05:12 PM To: Dan J Bump/DEN/ECT@Enron, Joan Quick/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Scott Josey/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Barbara Gray, Brian Redmond/HOU/ECT@ECT, Teresa G Bushman/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Wildhorse Letter Confidential Work Material - Attorney Client Privilege Attached for review is a draft of the letter to be sent to Wildhorse concerning the Gathering Agreement under which the Entrada and Dakota production is committed. Please review and provide comments. To summarize activities to date concerning this Gathering Agreement: 1. Conducted a conference call with Brett Frie on Wednesday. Brett also forwarded some correspondence between Enogex and Wildhorse. The correspondence contained a summary of meeting minutes for two meetings conducted between Enogex and Wildhorse. No demands were made by Enogex and no claims of unprofitability were made by Wildhorse. Brett stated that the Entrada and to some extent the Dakota gas were shut in or curtailed because the downstream carriers starting enforcing their tighter gas specifications. Enogex took Wildhorse's word for that and never checked with Northwest or Questar. I asked Brett why he thought Wildhorse would straight away release the gas. He responded that he thought they would do so only if Crescendo negotiated an alternative arrangement with Wildhorse. 2. I received more correspondence on Friday from Ken Krisa. Nothing really useful. There was a letter from Wildhorse to another producer in the area called Lone Mountain Production Company which stated that Wildhorse thought these assets were in a state of economic viability decline. Unfortunately this letter was not directed to Enogex. However, the draft letter takes that position with Wildhorse. 3. I am securing local consul out of Denver. I want someone intimately familiar with Utah and Colorado law from a litigation and timing perspective to be involved. We may need to seek a declaratory order. We have run into to conflicts with law firm that have represented either KN or Tom Brown. Should have this resolved on Monday. 4. Agreed to language on Friday with Ken Krisa and Jim Osborne and the declaration by Crescendo giving power to ENA to negotiate with Wildhorse. This draft does state our desire to pursue a release of the gas. However, to reiterate, based on the current facts we do not have a black and white right to deem this gas as released under the Gathering Agreement. The fact that the Entrada Gas is not in spec. with the downstream pipelines for inerts, allows Wildhorse to suspend their receipt of this gas without being in default.
