Andy,
Below are a number of the e-mail's that I've exchanged with TrueQuote. I can't say that they make for interesting reading but if you note any potential issues please let me know. Most of the notes relate to product mapping issues but you will notice highlighted in red a note regarding the ordering of a leased line which in my mind is "acceptance of responsibility by action." I'll be crafting a note regarding testing soon and will coordinate this with Jay and yourself. I'll also be forwarding e-mails with Houston Street. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to further clarify our status. -David ---------------------- Forwarded by David Fisher/NA/Enron on 12/11/2000 01:58 PM --------------------------- "O'Neill, Maria" <Maria.O'Neill@enform.com< on 10/19/2000 10:04:36 PM To: david.fisher@enron.com cc: "Wayne Crane (E-mail)" <wayne@crane.net< Subject: Enron-TrueQuote Integration Technical Questions David, I appreciate the phone call from you this morning.

After carefully reviewing your answers, we have a few follow-up questions. These appear in "green". Please let me know if anything needs further clarification. We are looking forward to meeting with you next week. Tentatively, we are planning to have 5 or 6 people attend. These include three really technical people, a couple of leads (including myself), a user from the True Quote business side who understands the products that are traded on True Quote, and the new True Quote CIO (who's mainly interested in hearing what is said more so than actively participating in the discussion). By next Tuesday, I plan to send you our proposed agenda for the meeting. If you have a different agenda in mind for the meeting, let's discuss it over the phone on Wednesday and jointly priortize the items for discussion. We are very flexible in terms of the agenda.

I have attached your document with answers to your questions included. In addition, I've provided the finalized DTD and our schedule of release dates for specific functionality. I raised your desire to meet to discuss the project and everyone agrees that getting together is a good idea. That said, we believe it would be best to wait until we have a firm agenda to discuss. For instance, we will need to get together in the near term to discuss data mapping issues. Feel free to call or drop a note if you have any questions or concerns. Regards, David The following are the dates that we will release functionality. 1 December 2000: Login, Attempt Transaction, Post Price, Request Price and Request Order Status. 15 December 2000: Request Transaction History, Request Credit Matrix, Post Product Set Data and Post Credit Matrix.

The following is a list of technical questions that we would like to discuss in this afternoon's meeting: 1) This one is probably going to be discussed in the first two hours - We will need to have the data to populate our tables with in order to map PID, CPID, RID, PSETID, CATGID, CTYID, CMDTYID. The non-technical people know all of the information about the products, deal types, etc. However, do they know that for example, PID "123" maps back to Product "ABC"? I would think the technical people are the ones that know how this codes map back to specific product information on your system. 2) Could you provide us a little background on why Credit term changed from "Required" to "Implied" during the last version of the DTD that we received from you? 3) We sent this question a few days ago, but have not received a response: There are several different parameter names specified for the XML that is passed between systems. The following is a list of those specified in the External Interface Document: Post Prices: prices (Page 12, Notes, Decision 1, Parameters) Request Prices: prices (Page 14, Notes, Decision 1, Parameters) Attempt Transaction: txn (Page 16, Notes, Decision 1, Parameters) Post Product Set Data: xml (Page 26, Notes, Decision 1, Parameters) Post Credit Matrix: xml (Page 28, Notes, Decision 1, Parameters) Should all of the parameter names be "xml" or should the parameter names for Post Product Set Data and Post Credit Matrix be changed to reflect the naming convention of the other use cases? Using "xml" as the parameter name for all use cases will reduce the redundancy of the code we'll need to write to route the data to our internal interfaces. 4) We still have some concerns over having to maintain Enron's calendar on our system since term is sent as part of the key. We would like to discuss alternatives for dealing with date interpretation. 5) We had asked a question earlier regarding business responses being sent back within the same HTTP session. We are going to assume that confirmation comes back in the HTTP response since there has been no interface defined for business responses. We would like to confirm this assumption in this meeting. 6) Is there going to be some capability of cancelling a transaction attempt if for some reason we do not receive a response back from Enron on a transaction attempt and a subsequent transaction search? 7) Would Enron consider posting all of their requests to a .asp file as opposed to a file with no extension (ext_nrt.asp instead of ext_nrt)? It is a generally accepted practice to include file extensions when transporting files. Thanks again for everything David. We will look forward to talking to you later today!

Jay and/or Mike will be available from 3-4 today to do just this. I know you've asked some technical questions already and are also interested in credit mapping nevertheless, would you please provide a brief rundown of the technical issues you want to discuss so that Jay/Mike can be prepared in advance to make the best use of the hour? Thanks. The meetings will be attended by our Product Control Group who are responsible for creating and maintaining all of Enron's product types and products. They are the experts when it comes knowing all the various ways Enron represents and implements products on EnronOnline. Other than myself, the four attendees will be Sheri Thomas, who heads the Product Control group, Jennifer deBoisblanc-Denny, who heads the products area of the group and two experts in gas and power products.

When were you thinking we could involve your "technical" people? I agree with the agenda and strongly agree that we need to understand each other products before we can attempt an integration. However, my team's reponsibility is to figure out how to "technically" send/receive and map information from your system. If this is not going to be addressed the first day, than perhaps some of them don't need to come. I guess I'm now concerned that the second two hour meeting isn't going to be long enough to provide my team the information they need proceed with their technical implementation. I understand that the documents you've sent me should address most of our questions, but each revision has left my team with more questions and confusion about how this is all going to work. Will Jay Webb be in either meeting? Could you send us a list of the attendees on your side and their roles/functions as well.

If November 8th and 9th isn't good for you, we can try November 9th and 10th. I would say let's just get together for one, four hour meeting but it is difficult to get the Product Control people together for that length of time since they are integral to the day to day operations of EnronOnline. (I am assuming you are in downtown Houston. If getting here is difficult then we can try to arrange a one day meeting.) Any thoughts on the suggested dates/times? As far as the number of meetings required, from our point of view we just need to accomplish product and counterparty mappings. The agenda below addresses products and a follow-up would address counterparties. Beyond that, the External Interface Document and DTD should address all the technical issues that enable you to design and construct your part of the system. I'll send you the most recent External Interface Document and DTD shortly. Please let me know you thoughts on the proposed agenda. I'm sure we can work out an agreeable schedule.

This is a two scenario question: 1) If an Enron trader is initiating a buy in the True Quote system against a counterparty's position to sell at a specified price and volume (ie: 15,000 @ 2.40 - which is currently a valid market in True Quote), at the point the transaction is being executed in the system, the volume drops to 10,000, would our Enron want to fill whatever quantity they can at the given price. Currently we are interpreting all transactions made directly from Enron into the True Quote system will be entered as a Fill or Kill. Will Enron allow partial fills of transaction attempts? Also, should the successful transaction attempt consist of several parties, will Enron accept this (3 parties of 5,000 each)? Do we send back a response identifying a FILL for the partial volume and FAIL for the remaining volume? 2) Reverse the statement for an attempt of Enron to Sell a volume against a counterparty's position to buy. Is Enron willing to sell partial volumes should the market not be there to fill Enron's order completely?

During that conversation, several items were to be worked offline. These are detailed and are listed as "To be worked offline" in Exhibit B, C, D, and E. Would you like to have EnFORM participate in your discussion with Enron, or do you feel that these items are strategically sensitive enough that you should have this conversation without EnFORM's involvement? These "To be worked offline" issues are very important, but we do have additional technical questions that would best be addressed by a technical Enron contact. If we could begin the process of a establishing a technical "relationship" with an individual at Enron as soon as possible, it would speed development and lower costs of this project. P.S. Wayne was next to me as I typed this note. Regards, Maria ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- The following questions were discussed in the telephone conference call with Enron on September 26th. We have inserted Enron's answers in Blue and have highlighted follow-ups and offline discussions in Red. Questions for Enron to answer regarding True Quote's interface: High Priority Questions (need to be addressed): (From Exhibit A) Will the product ID that Enron is transmitting specifically identify a product offering including commodity, deal type, region / location, and tradable term (fully qualified begin and end dates)? Product ID is a fully transactable item - Product, Location, Dates Product ID is a fully qualified instrument - excluding price, volume and counterparty Product ID can be for next day and balance of month. However, on next to last day of month, the Product ID will offer either next day or BOM, not both (there is no reason for redundancy) Product ID that is for anything, except for the rolling Tokenized products/dates (example: For a spot month, the Product ID will expire on the first day of that spot month) Currency and Unit of measure is implied as part of Product ID, but it is not an attribute (From Exhibit B) Can we confirm a transaction attempt against Enron for an Enron product id is a "Fill or Kill" transaction, meaning, a transaction attempt submitted to Enron would not stay in their system if it was not immediately filled. If the deal is not confirmed by Enron, the order will be immediately removed from Enron's system and could not be filled later if market conditions made the order viable. A transaction attempt by TrueQuote will be "Fill or Kill" (It will not in stay in EOL's system) If the deal is not confirmed by Enron due to non-availability of volume, these volumes need to be expired in the True Quote system If a transaction attempt fails for ANY reason, Enron will immediately rebroadcast that Product to the True Quote system Does True Quote need to design functionality for partial fill of a deal transaction for an outside entity? Enron will do partial fills. The True Quote system needs to design functionality to accept partial fills from an outside entity. What is the time threshold for waiting on an Enron response to a transaction attempt? Enron will accept whatever True Quote determines is an acceptable threshold for waiting. What is the estimated delivery date for Enron's DTDs? The EnronOnline Exchanges External Interface Document was received on Monday, October 2, 2000. Exhibit A (Enron Price Interface-what Enron sends to TQ): Concerning the Enron price interface, Enron has stated that EOL currently handles prices/volume updates at the rate of 100 updates per second, growing potentially to 500 per second (across all EOL product offerings). Given this level of update activity, how will the transmission of these updates be accomplished? Below are some questions which should clarify these concerns: What is the expected rate of updates for the sub-set of EOL products that will be transmitted to the True Quote platform? Is it expected that these products will also endure update activity at the rate of 100-500 updates per second? Although it was not communicated how often an XML document will be sent, it was clarified that the XML documents will be sent at certain time intervals.Each update will contain all information since last time polled (includes all changes (only changes) since last transmission) Need to clarify if True Quote will be polling EOL for Updates, or if EOL will send them automatically at certain time intervals. Will there be one XML document interface transmission for each Enron product update, or will one XML document interface contain updates for multiple Enron products? The implications of this are as follows: Will True Quote need to handle 100-500 XML documents per second, or will True Quote receive one XML document at a determined interval that has updates for all Enron products? If the XML document contains updates for all Enron products, how often will Enron send us the document? If it's one XML document per Enron product, will True Quote be expected to handle 100-500 XML document submissions per second? The XML document will contain updates for multiple Product IDs. If only one Product ID has changed in EOL since the last transmission, then only one Product ID will be sent to True Quote in the updates. Can we confirm that Enron will only submit one price/volume offering per Enron product id; meaning, Enron will never have multiple price and quantity offerings for the same Enron product ID on the True Quote platform. Enron will never send Market Depth for any Product ID. What you see on EOL is exactly what is transmitted to True Quote (one offering per Enron Product ID). However, each Product ID update will contain both the Bid and the Offer. The interface currently does not have a field to define the duration of the order. Given this, can we assume that when the price interface submits a product price/volume update to the True Quote platform, the order will be loaded with a duration of "Good Until Canceled". True Quote will mark the order as 'GTC' until Enron submits a new XML document for that Enron product that changes the status to "Suspended". In this case True Quote would cancel the order on the True Quote system. All orders will remain on the True Quote system until the EOL traders pull the deals. At this time, EOL would send "Suspended Status" for the Product ID. How are terms related to Enron Product IDs? Example: For a given Enron commodity, deal type, and location that is traded in October, would a new product id be created for that same product offering when the month rolls to November? Yes If product ids do not include a direct relationship to a specific tradable term, when a Price Interface XML document is submitted to the True Quote platform, how will True Quote know which trade term the product id is associated with? Product IDs do have a direct relationship to a specific tradable term We are currently assuming that an Enron product id specifically identifies a product offering including commodity, deal type, region/location, and tradable term. This assumption is correct Can we confirm that all Enron orders transmitted to the True Quote platform will be cancelled at the end of the day and that all products will be re-loaded into the True Quote system the following morning? If not, will the assumed 'Good Until Canceled' duration for each product id remain active until the status has been changed to "Suspended"? All EOL orders should be removed by the traders at the end of the day. For those that are not removed, True Quote should run a nightly batch job that removes all EOL orders left in the system. Each morning, True Quote will authenticate with EOL, and at this time, all orders on EOL will be transmitted to True Quote. Exhibit B (Transaction Interface with Enron): For each field (across all interfaces), we will need clearly defined data types (precision, range of length, space/bytes it takes). This information still needs to be provided. Can we assume the Bid/Ask flag is an integer? Perhaps a bit? If it's a character, what is the character indicator? B/A? This information still needs to be provided. Can we confirm the data type for volume is integer? This information still needs to be provided. Across all interfaces, there is not a defined unit of measure for price and volume by Enron product id. Should part of the XML DTD specify the unit of measure for both price and volume, or are we to assume that Enron product ids for Power are in US dollars and megawatt/hr, and Enron product ids for natural gas are US dollars and MMBTU? Currency and Unit of measure is implied as part of Product ID, but it is not an attribute Price - how many decimal places? (precision of the number) This information still needs to be provided. Volume and Price - Does Enron have an min / max / default increment value established for price and volume increment ranges by Enron product id? (For example, within True Quote the default volume increment for natural gas is 5000, and the price increment is $0.0025. Both the price and volume increments, min/max ranges can vary by region or location). On EOL, the traders determine the minimal tradable increments and the minimal tradable amounts (this minimums could be as low as 1). To be worked Offline: How to handle increments << 5000 increment on the Enron side (will we only display the 5000 increment below the volume submitted by Enron, if trader has a minimum greater than entities are willing to participate, how do we display this and how does the minimum increment come across in the order) Can we confirm a transaction attempt against Enron for an Enron product id is a "Fill or Kill" transaction, meaning, a transaction attempt submitted to Enron would not stay in their system if it was not immediately filled. If the deal is not confirmed by Enron, the order will be immediately removed from Enron's system and could not be filled later if market conditions made the order viable. If the deal is not confirmed by Enron due to non-availability of volume, these volumes need to be expired in the True Quote system. Already answered above. Will Enron allow partial fill of transactions? For example, if the Enron price interface submits an offer with 20,000 mmbtu available, can True Quote submit a transaction bid attempt to take only 10,000 mmbtu of the Enron offer? If not, is it a valid assumption that we can only submit a transaction attempt to lift the entire Enron offer of 20,000 mmbtu? Enron will allow partial fills. Exhibit C (True Quote Price Interface-what TQ sends to Enron): Does Enron expect True Quote to submit a single price point offering for an Enron product id that is the aggregate total volume of all orders available for that product id on the True Quote platform at the best available price? This would allow Enron to submit a transaction attempt against the True Quote platform, submitting a volume request that would potentially sweep multiple counter parties creating deals with all entities necessary to satisfy transaction attempt. Alternative 2: Does Enron expect True Quote to submit only the best individual order (the best price and volume for an Enron product id from only one counterparty) identified by its True Quote order id (True Quote would not transmit the counter party id; however, before sending the XML interface to Enron, the counterparty would have to pass the credit rules maintained in the counterparty credit matrix on the True Quote platform). Alternative 3: Would Enron expect True Quote to submit multiple price offerings per Enron product id (a market depth of various price and volume offerings). In this scenario, the volume associated with each price point should be an aggregate of multiple True Quote orders (as shown in the True Quote market screen). The XML interface could potentially transmit individual True Quote orders and their associated volumes (not an aggregate volume of multiple orders); however, giving Enron the ability to 'pick and choose' individual orders could potentially violate True Quote customer service agreements that require deals to be executed in the chronological sequence that the order request was received by the True Quote platform. Enron wants to see the granularity of each True Quote Product ID order. Enron expects True Quote to submit multiple price offerings per Enron Product ID. (Example: If True Quote has an order in the system for 100,000 MMbtu's at $3.00, which is comprised of 10 individual orders of 10,000, Enron wants True Quote to send all of the individual orders). To be worked Offline: Fair and equitable treatment with prices sent to Enron (proper processing of orders without bias) Need to discuss in more detail how to handle EOL price interface transactions and Enron Trader transactions Need to clarify with Enron whether they want to receive the best price in the market for a given Product ID, or if they want to see all of a given Product ID's market depth. Our concern is that if True Quote transmits individual True Quote orders and their associated volumes (not an aggregate volume of multiple orders), giving Enron the ability to 'pick and choose' individual orders, this could potentially violate True Quote customer service agreements that require deals to be executed in the chronological sequence that the order request was received by the True Quote platform. Exhibit D (Sponsor Transaction Interface): Are we correct in assuming that transactions posted by Enron traders against True Quote deals will be executed on the True Quote system? Will the duration of the order attempts being sent to True Quote be "Fill or Kill" or some other duration? To be worked Offline: The traders will want to transact against True Quote directly without adjusting the market position through EOL, but how this is accomplished will be to be discussed. Exhibit E (Counterparty Interface): In general, we need more details about what Enron will be sending as part of their daily counterparty credit / term interface, as well as the intra-day counterparty credit/term interface: Currently, exhibit E does not specific any fields or data types within an XML DTD. What are the "terms" under which participants can trade with Enron? For example, will the level of restriction include volumetric limits, financial limits, tradable date range limits (number days or months into the future) by Enron product id (assuming a product id specifically defines a commodity, deal-type, region/location, and tradable term). Will Enron send us a 'yes / no' flag to turn off/on a counterparty's ability to trade with Enron by the Enron product id? To be worked Offline: Credit terms and counterparty interface details were not addressed in the teleconference. The details of granularity will need to addressed to better understand the responsibilities that True Quote will have in handling Enron's credit structure. Questions for True Quote to Answer: Exhibit D: Does the Sponsor Transaction interface (Enron proposing transactions on the True Quote platform) still invoke the Enron Transaction Interface? There was some discussion that if internal Enron traders proposed transactions against the True Quote platform, the point of transaction would be the True Quote platform, and True Quote would not have to invoke the transaction on the EOL platform. True Quote would simply confirm whether the Enron transaction attempt succeeded or failed. If it succeeded, True Quote would send a confirmation XML interface to confirm the deal had been executed and transmit the True Quote Deal ID to Enron. What is the time threshold for waiting on Enron's response to a transaction attempt? For example, after 'n' seconds the True Quote platform should alert a system operator that an Enron transaction attempt has failed to return either a confirmation or failure. Please respond to the questions above. Thank you.

Maria, Please confirm with David that NO partial fills refers *only* to transaction attempts. We fully expect that Enron will send us (potentially) large volumes via. the price posting interface; then, we may execute multiple transaction attempts for that EOL product ID to Enron via. the transaction attempt interface. These individual transaction attempts could be much smaller (in volume) than the volume posted via. the price posting interface. Basically, the way we understand it is... the individual transaction attempts will be 'all or nothing'; however, we can break the large price post down and transmit multiple (smaller) transaction attempts against that large price post volume.

I've spoken the David Fisher at Enron this morning. The conference call will Andy Zipper and Jay Webb cannot be arranged until next Thursday (Dec. 14). David will send details later. David has asked us to assume that there will be NO partial fills on either side. He believes that even if they agree to do this it will likely be a "day 2" enhancement and not a functionality that is part of the January 5th deliverables. He is also requesting that we focus on completing the functionality that will allow Enron to post prices on True Quote and will allow True Quote to execute transactions on EOL. In addition, another priority needs to be to have the credit functionality completed. These are going to be the requirements that need to be tested by December 18th and need to be in production by January 5th. True Quote's ability to send prices to Enron and accept transaction attempts from EOL is secondary at this point and not likely to be a requirement that needs to be met by January 5th. Please let me know if there is any reason why the execution engine will not be ready to accept price posts from EOL and send transaction requests (assuming only full orders will be filled) by December 18th. If there is any concern about getting credit functioning within that timeframe, please let me know this as soon as possible, as well. Thanks for all of your help. You all are key contributors to this project and without your awesome knowledge and skills, we would never be able to complete this project in the timeframe that we're being asked to complete it in.

Stew & Richard, I would be surprised if Enron was willing to store the minimum qty, but what about sending it in the transaction request as an additional attribute? Might they be talked into that? This would be better for us since we should not have to worry about maintaining our system information on the Enron platform. How about proposing that both platforms send the min & increment volume requirements? This would be more complex for us now, but might be better in the long run for both platforms. We would be more flexible and better able to integrate with outside systems if we were able to accept this type of information. It get complicated because you could only fill where the two requirements (our and the outside system) were compatible, but it is do-able. Thoughts? Kim -----Original Message----- From: Stewart D.

Dennis & Chris... One other EOL scenario we forgot to talk about this evening was the scenario where: 1) EOL post 20,000 / day to our platform via. the price post interface... 2) A True Quote customer submits a request to do 15,000 / day... 3) TQ submits a transaction attempt to EOL for 15,000 day... 4) EOL only has 14,000 remaining, so they deny the entire transaction attempt... However, if Enron's system was aware that we would take partially filled Gas orders in minimum increments of 5,000, EOL could have partially filled the transaction request for 10,000. Any news on that scenario? I'll talk to Maria first thing in the morning... perhaps this one is already resolved? I would think it would be in EOL's best business interest to store our minimum volumes, so EOL could always fill us at least partially rather than deny the entire transaction. However, it really doesn't matter to us (technically) we'll just cancel the entire EOL transaction attempt and continue our sweep and fill the volume with the next available counterparty. Whereas if they partially filled us, we would probably cancel the original transaction attempt, and rebuild a new transaction deal ID for the 10,000 / day deal.... then continue the sweep for the final 5,000 from the next available counterparty. I haven't reviewed this scenario with the deal execution team yet, but if EOL *did* partially fill us with *at least* our minimum, it would probably be no more or less complex for us because even in a scenario where EOL denies a transaction attempt, we ALREADY must have the logic to cancel the EOL deal transaction attempt, and create a new order with the next available counterparty (to fill the volume request). So, if EOL did partially filled us, we would simply cancel the original transaction request that was for the full volume amount, and create a new deal with EOL for the partial volume they confirmed, as opposed to creating a new deal with a different counterparty. Only one additional deal would have to be created with the next available counterparty to fill the last 5,000 of the original request. Seems simply enough... and it would be in EOL's best interest to fill our transaction attempts partially so they would complete our transaction attempts more often.... if they don't fill us partially, EOL will probably end-up denying many of our transaction attempts if the exact volume is not available. hmm.... what do ya'll think? -Stewart Stewart D.

Maria, Stewart is correct in his understanding of no parital fills. I will reiterate his statements through the following examples: If Enron posts a gas product with 50,000 MMBTU available and TrueQuote attempts a transaction on 30,000 MMBTU, the attempt will be successfull if the following 3 criteria are met: 1. 30,000 MMBTU is still available when the transaction hits EOL. 2. 30,000 MMBTU meets the minimum volume for the product as set by the trader. 3. 30,000 MMBTU meets the increment volume for the product as set by the trader. Examples of how the 3 criteria above come into play: 1. If when TrueQuote attempts to transact on 30,000 MMBTU, the volume available for the product drops to below 30,000 MMBTU, the transaction will fail. 2. If TrueQuote attempts to transact on 30,000 MMBTU but the EOL trader has set the minimum volume for the product to 40,000 MMBTU, the transaction will fail. 3. If TrueQuote attempts to transact on 32,500 MMBTU but the EOL trader has set 5,000 MMBTU increments, the transaction will fail. I set-up a meeting with Jay Webb and Andy Zipper for next Friday. That is the earliest we all could meet. Once we talk, I'll coordinate a conference call with you. For the time being let's stay the course.
