This form has been created using the EEI form of master used by Enron North America, the Canadian gas master and the British Energy Power Purchase Agreement. Wherever possible and particularly with respect to many of the procedural provisions, such as billing, confirming, triggering events and the miscellaneous provisions, I have used the language from the current form of Canadian gas master both to create consistency between our Canadian gas and power businesses for our operations, systems and accounting groups and to hopefully make it easier for our commercial people to market the power paper to counterparties, as it will be very similar in many respects to our form of gas master with which many counterparties will already be familiar. Regarding the power products tradeable under this master, further to a discussion Peter and I had with Jeff Hodge and Christian Yoder, the products described in Schedule A have been created based upon an amalgam of the EEI products and the WSPP schedules of products. Given the uncertainty of how exactly the two Canadian markets that are set to open in 2001 will look, it was determined best to have a minimum of broadly defined products, which will be further defined over time as the markets develop, rather than trying to introduce a large number of complex products that may end up neither applicable nor appropriate and which would only serve to make negotiations of the form with counterpartys more difficult. I would ask each of you to review the form and provide me with any final comments you may have at your earliest convenience so that Enron Canada can commence marketing the paper to counterparties. In performing your review, please keep in mind that this master is intended to be an agreement that is cross-jurisdictional and, therefor, general in scope and nature and will be equally applicable to power trades in Alberta as in Ontario (or any other province over time). Any jurisdictional specific provisions will be built into the confirms on a trade by trade basis. Nevertheless, particularly for Rob Hemstock and Aleck Dadson, I do want to ensure that we have not included any provisions that may cause Enron Canada any concerns in Ontario or Alberta based upon our current understanding of how those two regulatory regimes will unfold. Thanks for your assistance on this matter and I look forward to any comments you may have on the document. Greg
