What lawyer handles daily financial trading issues? I need to speak with
that person about US swap eligibility rules governing US companies,
specifically, ECTRIC, and who evaluates ECTRIC's counterparties for
eligibility. The specific issue has to do with Total as you will see from
the string of emails attached. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Sara,

ECTRI is a UK registered company. As a subsidiary of ENA, which is
registered under US law, can my trader sleave deals through ECTRI to get
around the eligibiilty issue. We are working with Total to get a
confidentiality agreement signed but it is taking awhile and we will not be
receiving financial statements to evidence eligibility for another three
weeks.

thanks
brant

For SFA purposes as they are ulitmately owned by a quoted company on a
recognised stock exchange then this is sufficient to sign them off. I don't
really know whether this makes them an elligible swap participant for the US
though.

I am not quite sure I understand. Does SFA requirements mean you have a
guaranty, financial statements, or other material that establishes them as an
eligible derivative customer. One of our marketers continues to try and
trade with them and I still don't fully understand how they are open in
London. Does meeting SFA requirements establish this customer as an eligible
counterparty under US statutes?

We have passed them for SFA requirements in London so yes they can trade
through London no problem at all. (see Regulatory tab in CAS)
Any problems, let me know.

Paul,

I have a trader that is trying to trade financially with Total International
Ltd., but we have asked that he not until we can sort our some eligibility
issues. Prior to speaking with Ben Hamida at Total last week, we had never
approached them for financial statements or a guaranty that would establish
them as elibible contract parties. I noticed that we have significant
financial trading with them in London. How have you established eligibilty?
My trader is asking, since he cannot trade under ENA with Total, if he can
sleave deals through London.

Any ideas or insight would be helpful.

thanks
brant
