OK, this is hot off the press.
Tanya: our Performance Impairment language limited the collateral call to 1.1 times outstanding exposure. The collateral was defined only as Letters of Credit and the issuing bank was at least A- S&P rated. As to the Threshold, well, you can read the response. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. SS ---------------------- Forwarded by Sara Shackleton/HOU/ECT on 08/03/99 11:18 AM --------------------------- Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp. From: "Jo-Ann Bigwood" <bigwoodj@hmc.harvard.edu< 08/03/99 11:17 AM To: Sara Shackleton/HOU/ECT cc: Subject: ISDA Sara, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Internally we have been discussing the main hurdle issues which you and I discussed in our last telephone conversation. The results are as follows: Harvard will not agree to change its Additional Termination Event in favor of your Performance Impairment clause. We find this to be too uncertain and are more comfortable with the certainty of the ratings as set out in our Additional Termination Event clause. Harvard believes that it can get comfortable with the idea of Letters of Credit, however, they must come from a middle single A or better counterparty and we would like to know who you intend to provide such LOCs from at the time of contract negotiation. Harvard will not provide letters of credit as collateral but rather US Treasuries. Harvard cannot accept or give cash as collateral. Harvard is willing to raise the threshold for a BBB+ from $0 to $500,000, but cannot agree to the increase of $10,000,000 which you have requested. Harvard cannot agree to Minimum Transfer Amounts of $1 and requires the threshold and minimum transfer amount table as set out in our CSA to remain in tact. Harvard will accept a guarantee from Enron Corp., however, it must be Harvard's standard with no changes. Please advise where this leaves us. I will await your response prior to addressing issues raised in your facsimile dated 7/20/99. Regards, Jo-Ann Bigwood Harvard Management Company, Inc.
