Sara, Mallesons our principal legal firm on financial trading has an
association with the PNG law firm of Fiocco Posman & Kua. telephone 675 320
0127 fax 675 320 0361. I have not not been able to speak to the Managing
Partner Mr Rio Foicco. But he is to call me back tomorrow. The major issue is
conflicts. Mallesons don't believe they act for Ok Tedi but it is a mighty
small place. If this crowd don't work out there are two other firms
Australian firms; Gadens and Blakes that both have strong PNG practices.

Subject: Australian matters

David: I will try to call you before I leave work today to follow up with
any questions you may have with respect to the following items:

(1) I am having the Representative Agreement executed by ENA and will return
an original to your attention. Shari suggested that Susan Musch initial the
agreement and Susan is out until May 22.
(2) The ENA/Aquila weather deal has not been finalized ONLY because I have
been waiting to actually view the Floating Price source materials which our
traders have never been able to produce or cite a reference to (so that I
could view). There is no problem with the deal.
(3) As a policy matter for Enron Australia Finance Pty. Limited, do you
always agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South
Wales as opposed to arbitration? I am negotiating the ENA/ABN AMRO
(Australian branch) futures agreement and am trying to determine appropriate
jurisdiction.
(4) ENA is attempting to draft an ISDA Master Agreement with a company
incorporated in New Guinea (which may have a US office). I don't know a darn
thing about New Guinea law. Do you happen to know if we've ever dealt in New
Guinea, any lawyers located in New Guinea, what law is used (I guess New
Guinea!) or whether it's similar to other PacRim countries?

I'll speak with you later. Regards. Sara
