Rod:
Do you and Diana have a copy of the ISDA master between ENA and Kaiser? If
not, here is a summary of some of the Kaiser credit related provisions:

1. $30,000,000 cross default threshold

2. MAC Event of Default - As to Kaiser, a MAC occurs if either an Event of
Default occurs under the 2/15/94 Credit Agreement with BankAmerica or its
credit rating drops to B- or below by S&P and B3 or below by Moody's. In
each case, if they deliver collateral, no Event of Default occurs.

3. Collateral Threshold equal to ENA's Net Exposure which goes to zero if a
MAC occurs and there is a failure to deliver collateral within 90 days or an
Event of Default occurs.

4. $1,000,000 rounding amounts


With respect to setoff rights, I spoke with David Mitchell about this and if
it turns out that both types of swap transactions are done with the same
Kaiser entity but different Enron entities and the metals ISDA has
appropriate setoff language, then we feel fairly comfortable that upon a
Kaiser bankruptcy filing in the US, we would be able to exercise setoff
rights.


What is the next step?

Hi Carol. Great to hear from you. I hope all is going well.

Diana Higgins who is a manager (credit) in the metal area will be the
principal credit person. I would say that Kaiser is a low grade credit and
the contract should be robust with early termination and collateral rights.

Rod and Paul:
I have checked the ISDA between Kaiser and ENA and it has our standard setoff
language which permits setoff of amounts owed by or to the Non-Defaulting
Party and its Affiliates against amounts owed by or to the Defaulting Party
under the ISDA and other agreements. Please call me once you have located
the Metals agreement as Greg indicated to me in a voice mail that he needs an
answer this morning.

Rod,
If we get comfortable on the legal side with this arrangement, are there
other credit issues that need to be considered?
