Brant:
Is this what was agreed to? When we last spoke, it appeared as if you had
not agreed to a collateral threshold of $50M and a cap of $55M. Please
advise.

By cap, I assume you mean the Guaranty amount or limit - $55MM was agreed
upon.

< Dear Carol -
<
< Enclosed are drafts of (i) the ISDA schedule, (ii) Paragraph 13 to the
< Credit Support Annex, and (iii) our standard guarantee. Also included is
< a
< draft what should be in the L/C and Schedule 1 of a Stby L/C.
<
< Please note that I have accepted most of the previous changes so the
< current
< issues would more easily be seen in the draft.
<
< Comments concerning the schedule and para 13 are below: Note - our legal
< council is out this week but I thought I would send this draft to you now,
< and we can make further adjustments, if any, based on our legal department
< review next week.
<
< 1. Part 1 (e): After Charles Hofer spoke with your Credit Manager, Brant
< Reves, they decided to make the cross default threshold at $100MM for each
< credit support provider.
< 2. 1(h): Made change per our phone conversation that Market Quotation
< will
< apply for 3 years or less; Loss for over 3 years.
< 3. 5(g): I am confused by this change. I added back in the word
< "obligations" in para B, 5th line and added back in the phrase concerning
< affiliates. I'm not sure my predecessor deleted them (it is not deleted
< on
< my 3/20/00 draft) but I can't imagine who else would. Two comments (i) do
< you think this is best way to word this, and (2) my legal council (who is
< out most of this week) will have to review your final wording before we
< can
< execute.
< 4. 5(l): Changed the telephone recording paragraph by (a) not limiting
< it
< to just trading staff and (b) adding "to the extent permitted by
< applicable
< law".
< 5. 5(n-q): All new paragraphs that are not part of our standard
< agreement.
< However, these were not discussed in Susan's last memo to you (except the
< adding back in of paragraph q) so I am leaving them as is.
< 6. Part 6: After reviewing your changes vs. our standard paragraphs, I
< have no objections to your changes
< 7. 13(b)(i)(C) Accepted your definition of Credit Support Amount even
< though we don't normally use Independent Amounts.
< 8. 13(b)(iii)(A) Letters of Credit - changes days to 20 from 10, per
< your
< request. After re-reading, I don't understand how it improves the
< position
< of the secured party. If the L/C has an expiration date and the secured
< party attempts to execute (i.e.: cash in) this L/C, then if the L/C is
< within 20 days of its expiration, the value can drop to zero. Before, the
< L/C maintained 100% of its value until 10 days prior to expiration. Since
< Enron looks at these contracts from the secured party perspective, how
< does
< your position improve based on this change?
< 8. 13(b)(iii)(B and C) Threshold for both of us has been increased to
< $50MM
< and Minimum Transfer Amount has been reduced to zero ($0).
<
< For questions, please call at 713-420-3548 or email me.
<
< Thanks!
<
