Susan-

Please fax or e-mail the first revised draft of the ISDA to Rodolfo. I
believe that TGS is ready to execute this document except for a pending
question that they have concerning speculation. I am not sure what the issue
is exactly for TGS in regards to speculation (see e-mails below), but I am
calling Rodolfo for clarification.

Also, do you know who could forward a sample copy of a confirmation to
Rodolfo as well??

Thank you,

Pat

Pat,

Question: If you hedge something and then you do not produce (you do not back
up your production with your swap), so basically you are speculating, how
does that affect your financials??
TGS's lawyer will be back next Monday. I know you and Susan have worked on a
new ISDA (w/o the CSA). Could you forward that to me so I send it to TGS and
on Monday they have all the documents ready please?
TGS asked me if we could send them a model of a "confirmation ticket" to see
how it looks like. Also, I would like to see it as well, cause I never seen
one. I guess that you will put price, index, settlements and volumes.

Thanks,

Rolo

Subject: TGS SWAP - Almost there...


I talked to Eduardo Pawluszek (TGS) this morning. So that everybody knows,
last week we quoted propane, butane and gasoline. Citibank and Goldman Sachs
have also quoted, but Enron came up with the best price. Eduardo told me he
is ready to go, but he is still trying to waiting for Marketing to define
volumes.
What the auditors are saying is that if TGS hedges 2,500 tons during one
month and they end up selling 0 tons, the hedge is now pure speculation. This
is the main problem Eduardo is having. We need to communicate that the risk
on price over the next 14 months is far more that the risk of a slight
shortfall in delivery over the same time period. Which is the greater
speculation??
On the ISDA, his lawyer will be arriving on Monday and we will keep on
working on the document next week.
Eduardo told me he is totally on board with this hedge but he is trying to
convince Marketing to go for it (and it is giving him a hard time).

We are plannig to pre-pay this swap which, considering current financial
circumstances, would benefit TGS greatly.

Do we need to go higher up in the organization??

Thanks,

Jeff and Rolo
