Author: Marty Oelmann at xtwn Date: 11/29/99 2:14 PM Dear Sara, The Schedule to the above-referenced Agreement has been forward to me for review and comment. We look forward to completing this Agreement with Enron and appreciate your assistance to that end. I have the following comments regarding the Schedule. In spite of the length of this wire, I feel that we do not have many obstacles to bringing this Agreement to a mutually agreeable conclusion. 1. Please confirm the correct legal name of the Enron entity entering this Agreement. Please add a comma to Cargill's name -- Cargill, Incorporated. 2. It is my understanding that we have not received financial info on the Enron entity involved in the Agreement. Can you arrange to have those sent to my attention? We typically establish a Threshold for both the entity involved in the Agreement as well as the Credit Support Provider. 3. We will not be providing Quarterly Unaudited financial statements. 4. Please provide the correct Notice Address for the appropriate Enron entity. 5. Our Notice information is as follows: Cargill, Incorporated 12700 Whitewater Drive Minnetonka, MN 55343-9439 Attn: Swaps Administration Telex No.: 192199 Answerback: CARGILL FMD Facsimile No.: (612) 984-3900 Telephone No.: (612) 984-3444 6. Part 4(h). We prefer to retain the intent of the ISDA whenever possible and, therefore, please delete this clause. 7. Part 5(b)(j). Please use the following ISDA-recommended clause in place of yours: Non-reliance Representation. The following shall be added as Section 15: Relationship Between Parties. Each party will be deemed to represent to the other party on the date on which it enters into a Transaction that (absent a written agreement between the parties that expressly imposes affirmative obligations to the contrary for that Transaction): (i) Non-Reliance. It is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into that Transaction and as to whether that Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into that Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of a Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into that Transaction. No communication (written or oral) received from the other party shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of that Transaction. (ii) Assessment and Understanding. It is capable of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of that Transaction. It is also capable of assuming, and, assumes, the risks of that Transaction. (iii) Status of Parties. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary for or an adviser to it in respect of that Transaction. 8. Part 5©. Please explain your reasoning for this request. We prefer to retain the intent of the ISDA and, therefore, feel it should be deleted. 9. Part 5(f). Please add the following to this clause: Additionally, any such recordings may be submitted in evidence to any court or in any proceedings for the purpose of establishing any matters pertinent to the Agreement. 10.Part 5(g). Please use the following ISDA-recommended clause in place of yours: Set-off. The following shall be added as Section 6(f): "Any amount (the "Early Termination Amount") payable to one party (the Payee) by the other party (the Payer) under Section 6(e), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or one Affected Party in the case where a Termination Event under Section 5(b)(iv) has occurred, will, at the option of the party ('X') other than the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party) be reduced and set-off against any amount(s) (the 'Other Agreement Amount') payable (whether at such time or in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Payee to the Payer (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) under any other agreement(s) between the Payee and the Payer or instrument(s) or undertaking(s) issued or executed by one party to, or in favor of, the other party (and the Other Agreement Amount will be discharged promptly and in all respects to the extent it is so set-off). X will give notice to the other party of any set-off effective under this Section 6(f). For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Agreement Amount (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by the Non-defaulting Party into the currency in which the other is denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner, in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency. If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 6(f) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 6(f) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise). 11.Part 6. Please delete this Section. We have found it to be more common market practice to retain the intent of the 1993 Commodity Derivatives Definitions without modification. Thank you for your attention to this Agreement, Sara, and we look forward to bringing it to completion in the near future. Have a terrific Thanksgiving holiday! Best regards, Marty Oelmann - att1.unk
