The PX confirmed receipt of EPMI's Notice of Termination as of 1:30 pm PST
today. Afterwards, we tried to establish the time that the PX declared that
PG&E and Edison were in default so that we could, if necessary at a later
time, show that EPMI had terminated before that default. Unfortunately, the
PX would not come out and say that a default had occurred, and as the day
wound down, employees at the PX became more and more taciturn. Brett made
all of his calls on recorded lines, but I asked him to summarize the
conversations in writing. I thought everyone would be interested in seeing
this.

Good work, Brett.

Steve, per your request.

Holli Kreb's desk; Presched1: 13:40; Spoke to David Dan (626.537.3555) @
CalPX. Asked him: 1) if PG&E and SCE had made pmt yet, 2) If anyone had
defaulted 3) Has the PX declared a default at this time. David answer to
these questions was he hadn't heard of anything, but he isn't in a position
to know about these events. He suggested I call Clark Cheng (x3243).
Immediately called Clark and left message asking these three questions, and
requested he call me ASAP.

Donald Robinson's desk; Presched1; approx. b/t 14:00 and 14:30. Called Clark
Cheng @ CalPX.
Q: Did PX rec. PG&E and SCE pmts? A: Can't tell right now. Back office
is currently aggregating all of the data and trying to determine PX' position.
Q: Has there been a default yet? A: No. Too soon to tell. PX doen's want
to arbitrarily make that call until they've had a chance to contact the
participant(s) and confirm an intent to default.
Q: Has PX declared a default? A: No. PX hasn't determined if they're
dealing with a default. So, PX has not made any such claim or notice to that
effect at this time.
Q: Once PX has had time to look at the data and determine if there has been
a default, how will that be communicated to the market participants? A: PX
plans on notifying the market via email. PX anticipates an email will not go
out until Friday, 2/2/01.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,

Brett
