What is the status of this? I agree with your analysis. However,If the core
performance bond has been paid or otherwise extinguished and the CTS bond in
no longer operable because of Davis' actions, then why is the PX holding on
to our collateral? Is that question now before FERC? What happens if we lose
at FERC---do we still have an argument worth pursuing here? I would like your
and Gary's thoughts.

Subject: AAA Arbitration


We should discuss Tuesday what our current goal is in the AAA arbitration we
filed. (An administrative conference call is scheduled for Wednesday,
February 21, at noon PST.)

From our perspective, it would make sense to put the arbitration on hold
pending FERC's ruling on the charge-backs. (Based on a conversation with
counsel this afternoon, the PX is perfectly willing to do this.) If FERC
ultimately rules against us, the PX would be able to assert a set-off that
would wipe out the claim in the arbitration. If FERC disapproves the
charge-backs, it may be possible to resolve the excess collateral issue.

Let's discuss on Tuesday whether you agree, or whether there are reasons for
active pursuit of the arbitration.
