Sorry, I did not realize you were awaiting a response from me on this.

Our deal is with the subsidiary, not the parent. So the name of the
counterparty should be Catalytica Combustion Systems, Inc., (CCSI) not
Catalytica.

Regarding the credit issue (Annex B; Credit and other special provisions), I
can't see how we are exposed to credit risk; we will not sign the XONON
Implementation Agreement with GE until we have received the $9.9 million
payment from CCSI. If CCSI does not agree to return the spark spread
confirmation upon our request, as defined per the agreement, then CCSI is in
default of the agreement and the spark spread confirmation becomes worthless.

My main concern is with the general terms and conditions of the spark spread
confirmation because I know there are some errors in there that need to be
corrected:

There are three prices for the Gas Daily index referenced - low, high and
mid. We need to define which curve we want to reference.
We need to change the name from Catalytica to Catalytica Combustion Systems,
Inc.
I think ECT should now be changed to Enron North America in the agreement,
but please advise on this
I need to provide the details for CCSI (e.g., name, title, payment account
information)

Also, if Lucy can review the document for any other errors that would be a
good idea.

I was looking to get these items corrected in anticipation of sending to CCSI
sometime around the end of next week.

Please feel to contact me with any other questions.

Subject: Spark Spread Confirmation

We are trying to revise the draft transaction confirmation per Sean's e-mail
of date. The original confirm was prepared for "Catalytica, Inc." and the
credit included an additional event of default (cross-default) with
thresholds of $10 million for Catalytica and $50 million for Enron North
America. Sean has requested that "Catalytica, Inc." be REPLACED with the sub
"Catalytica Combustion Systems". Should the credit remain the same?

We are withholding release of this confirm pending a response from
underwriting. Thanks. Sara
