Mark, further to our converstaion this morning, I attach the latest version
of the swap financing structure with RBC DS. The idea is to have the swaps
prepay a funded amount which is then repaid through the swap structure over
the term of the transactions (1 year). Please note that rather than
determining the one year PV value of the funded amount and interest at time =
0 relative to a fixed price, with monthly settlements then occuring in the
normal course based on market movements, I understand that it is neceassary
to have interest payments settled monthly with a bullet principal repayment
by settlement at the end of the one year term.

Some explanatory notes:

1. Bill Bradford's group is putting the credit terms together. Once that
occurs we will need to have drafts to RBC DS ASAP.

2. Enron Canada Corp.'s obligations will be guaranteed by Enron Corp. to the
extent outlined in the credit worksheet.

3. It is fundamental to the structure for Global Finance that there not be
any net collateral exposure. In other words, collateral thresholds must
offset or mirror each other such that if, for exapmle, Enron Canada is
required to provide $50MM of margin to RBC DS, Financing SPV will also have
to provide $50MM of margin to Enron Canada Corp., notwithstanding that Enron
Canada Corp. ought really not be exposed unless there is a market movement
having an exposure value in excess of the funded amount of $300MM. (NOTE:
The actual amount required to complete the purchase of the PPA is
C$235,840,000, the first installment of C$58,960,000 having already been
funded by an intercompany loan from Enron Canada Corp. to Enron Canada Power
Corp.)

4. In terms of documentation, the swaps should be documented under ISDA
Masters. I understand that there may be an ISDA Master in place between
Royal Bank of Camada and Enron North America Corp. and also one in place also
with Enron Corp. (this will need to be confirmed). As the transactions need
to be at the Enron Canada Corp. level, however, I suggest that ISDA Masters
need to be prepared between Enron Canada Corp. and RBC DS and between Enron
Canada Corp. and Financing SPV on the same terms as the current ISDA Master
between Enron North America Corp. (or Enron Corp.) and Royal Bank of Canada,
subject to the credit terms provided by Credit. The individual transactions
themselves would then be documentd on transaction Confirmation Letters. I am
not fussed as to who prepares the paper and it might be easiest for your
group to do so. Please also note that external legal opinions may be
required in respect of Enron Canada Corp. and Enron Corp. Blakes is prepared
to provide legal opinions for Enron Canada Corp. and whatever advice or
support is necessary.

5. Once the funding occurs to Enron Canada Corp., it will be advanced by
intercompany loan to Enron Canada Power Corp. to acquire the PPA, and I will
look after this aspect of the transaction.

6. Please note that Enron Canada Power Corp. must put the Government in
funds on Friday Spetember 22nd.

Soma, apologies, note that in the diagram there is no TRS between RBCDS & BF
Capital, just straight finance agreement.
