Stacy:
I spoke with John about this. I think in the Master Physical language we need to do 2 things to the existing language: 1. Clarify that the exposure that is being subtracted from $50M is ENA's Exposure. The defined term in the ISDA is "Exposure". 2. Clarify that Counterparty's threshold is zero if as a result of subtracting ENA's Exposure from $50M you get a negative number. We will go ahead and draft the multi-product guaranty and copy you on the draft that we send out.

The idea is that there is a $50MM aggregate threshold for the counterparty. The ISDA will be a normal ISDA - with a $50MM threshold. The Master Physical will be the document that needs to be customized to the new concept. The Master Physical threshold language is to simply read that there is a $50MM threshold less any exposure under the ISDA collateral threshold. I understood that Stacy or Jeff would adapt the Master Physical to address any legal language differences in the contracts - i.e. "Exposure", "Termination Amounts" etc. Your team needs only to provide the ISDA to Stacy Dickson's group, and I believe they will draft the Master Physical to their comfort level. Please call me to confirm whether or not you need anything else on this - and whether or not you think it can go out today.

Is the $75MM Guaranty cap meant to cover both physical and financial combined or are we doing separate Guarantys each with a $75MM cap amount? 2. How does the $50MM collateral threshold work? I noticed in the physical master that it appears as if we subtract from the $50MM threshold our exposure under the ISDA to arrive at the Counterparty's threshold, although the language in the physical says "the exposure" and it is not clear whose exposure they are talking about. Is that how it is suppposed to work? Carol
