Carol,
I'm assuming we'd have to do this all over again once we have an ISDA (I guess we register the credit support annex?)... Does this process compromise any confidential information? Paul -----Original Message----- From: "Chris Garrod" <CGGarrod@cdp.bm<@ENRON [mailto:IMCEANOTES-+22Chris+20Garrod+22+20+3CCGGarrod+40cdp+2Ebm+3E+40ENRON@EN RON.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 11:02 AM To: Carol.St.Clair@enron.com Cc: Hendry, Brent; Abramo, Caroline; Radous, Paul; Shackleton, Sara Subject: Re: Cash Collateral Carol: The total estimated cost would be in the region of $1,250 - $1,500, including disbursements. Please feel free to let me see a copy of the charging document. Kind regards Chris Garrod <<< <Carol.St.Clair@enron.com< 04/18/01 12:18PM <<< Chris: Thanks for your prompt response. I think that we do need to register the charge document which in this case would be the confirmation that will be executed. Can you provide me with an estimate of the total cost? Does everyone at Enron agree? Caroline, I will redraft the Bermuda confirm to change from LC's to cash and send to you. Please make sure that the counterparty is aware that we plan to register/file the confirm in Bermuda.

However, although it is not necessary for a security interest to be registered in order for it to be valid, the charge document itself can be registered in Bermuda in the Register of Charges in accordance with Section 55 of the Companies Act 1981 in order to ensure the priority in Bermuda of the charge. On registration, any charge evidenced in the charging document will have priority over any unregistered competing charge or any subsequently registered competing charge in respect of the assets which are the subject of the charge (i.e. the cash). If the agreement will be governed by either Texas or New York law, it will be a matter of the laws of either Texas or New York as to the actual nature of the security interest which is created by the charge. If you would like us to effect the registration of the charge, we would need an original (or a certified true copy) of the executed document which creates the security interest. There is no time limit on such registration. However, please note that, in addition to our professional fees, there is a filing fee of $446 which is payable in respect of the registration. I trust that the above is of some assistance. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards.

The agreement will be governed by either Texas or New York law. We need your advice on how to perfect our interest in any cash posted to us that we would hold in an account in the United States. Could you please call either me or Sara Shackelton (713)853-5620 if possible tomorrow or you can send me an e-mail if that is easier. I'm hoping that our possession of the cash is enough. Sorry for the short fuse on this. If you need any additional information, please contact me or Sara. I will be unavailable from 9-11 and 2-3 tomorrow Houston time.
