Sara,
I think we need to explain the collateral transfer provision to Rose. I don't think she understands what the $0 transfer amount means.We do not want to wait until we have $500,000 of exposure to Global. We are happy to exchange collateral in $250,000 increments. So if Global owes Enron $1, we want the first $250,000 in collateral. If Enron owes Global $1, we are willing to post the first $250,000. The reality is that we will not call if the exposure is immaterial. It's not worth our time. But since we are already taking intra day credit risk, we have no desire to add another $500,000 to that exposure. As far as the cross default goes, we see it as a matter of proportion. Enron has $53 Billion in assets: Moore has $1.3 Billion. Accordingly, a default of $100 Million would have substantially different implications for each of these entities. So to say that they have been willing to go as high as 2 to 1 puzzles me. I don't really know what the basis for that ratio is. Anyway, we will no doubt have to talk through these issues with the counterparty. I am ready when you are.

Let me know if you'd like to schedule some time to discuss.

Please note that also included in the fax are some revisions to the legal opinion. I will send to you any comments regarding the guaranty once our lawyer has completed his review. Schedule: Part 1 © "Threshold Amount" - We are willing to accept your proposal for the flat number of $100 million for Enron, but we cannot accept $2 million for the Moore Global. The majority of our documents are bilateral in nature, but we have accepted a 2:1 ratio, thus we have proposed $50 million for Moore Global. Please reconsider. Part 3(b) Documents to be delivered - I have added the legal opinion language, but I just wanted to confirm that Enron will pay for these requested legal opinions. I found out that FIF Master Fund, Ltd also uses Graham Thompson as outside counsel. Credit Support Annex: Paragraph 13 (b)(iv) - Thresholds - We are willing to accept a $0 Threshold even though with most of our counterparties, we have at least a $5 million threshold. On the other hand, we find it to be a operational nuisance to have to transfer collateral back and forth with a "minimum transfer amount" of zero, thus we would like to stick with $500,000 since we do not think $500,000 is an unreasonable amount of exposure for either party and it would eliminate the nuisance factor. Thank you very much for your help in this matter and we look forward to hearing from you. Regards- Rose - fax1.tif
