The term of the FTS-1 agreement is for one day, and automatically renews from
day to day. The discount letter provides that the discount applies to the one-day term and each consecutive one-day term (if any). The term of the discount letter is typically one month or 3 months. The discount letter does not obligate TW to provide service for more than one day, but as long as the term of the service agreement renews, the same discount would apply. My point is that if we are already contracting for daily firm this way, it should not matter whether the discount is effective for one month or for 12 months. If there is a problem with the current arrangement, we should discuss it. Nothing about the way we do these deals has changed since we discussed it last December.

Commercial Group's question is whether we see a problem with making the discount effective for one year. I think it should make no difference.

Glen was working with you on this I believe. MK From: Susan Scott 03/09/2000 11:44 AM To: Mary Kay Miller/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Drew Fossum@ENRON cc: Subject: daily firm on TW The Commercial Group has asked whether they can sell daily firm for longer than a 3-month period. This phrasing is of course misleading; TW's daily firm contracts are always for a term of just one day, but renew for consecutive one-day terms unless terminated. The discount letter, on the other hand, grants a discounted rate for each of the one-day terms for a certain period of time (typically one month). Steve Harris wants to be able to "sell daily firm for a one-year period." In contractual terms all this would mean is that the contract is for renewabable one-day terms (as usual), and the discount applicable to such terms would be effective for one year. I see no problem with this, do you? (Apparently the current perception in marketing is that regulatory/legal was limiting daily firm to a 3-month period.)
