Eric,

1. DPC has not terminated the FMA, not even temporarily. 

2. The monthly amount owed is ~$222K.

3. DPC pays EFI when it gets paid by the MSEB.

4. DPC has not gotten paid by the MSEB for January, April, May, and June.

Other issues:

1. 50% of the 20-year fuel management fee has already been recognized in Enron's earnings. When a payment is received, the first 50% was already expected and merely fulfills the earnings already recognized through MTM. The remaining 50% is set aside to pay for the cost of providing the services. Anything remaining after that can be booked as additional earnings.

2. Doug informed me that there is a proposed agreement between EFI and the LNG group that outlines a transfer of responsibilities and a fee sharing arrangement.

We can discuss after we talk about Eco at our 3 PM meeting.

Given that MSEB has terminated the PPA (which is disputed by DPC), has DPC given notice to us that they are suspending the FMA temporarily?  When is the next payment due from DPC to us under the FMA (and for how much is it for)?

Eric,

DPC has not sent a notice terminating the fuel management agreement. The FMA does, however, end if the PPA ends (Article 14.1 (d)). The MSEB states that they have rescinded the PPA. DPC has and will continue to challenge the MSEB's right to rescind the agreement. If the MSEB is successful in rescinding the PPA, then the biggest exposures are the Lakshmi and the lost fuel management fees. Wayne can update us on the lenders' position regarding the Lakshmi. 

I have a call in to Doug Leach to find out if any of the fuel management fees have been marked to market.

The other exposure, of course, is the in-house personnel working on DPC.

I was informed today that DPC terminated our Enron's fuel management agreement.  This termination is related to the MSEB termination of the PPA.  Where do we stand with works in progress? do we have 3rd parties involved in providing support services to us?, what bills are outstanding?, do we halt all works?, does this impact our contribution to the Laksmi works?, does this make them in breach of the charter agreement?

Eric,

See below the basis for going after MSEB on the FMA. I did misspeak earlier when I said the PPA has been terminated. It has not been terminated and even if it was DPC would not accept the termination, nor would EFI. Will keep you posted.

I have to give credit where credit is due and that is to my Enron attorney, Mike Robison. He protects me from myself and my enemies on a regular basis. We didn't make enough fuel deliveries to Hainan to ever learn anything.

	Doug -

	Thanks for the message and let me be the first to welcome you to the Dabhol team.  Please send a copy of the FMA to Bruce Lundstrom and his team for review.  	One of us will get back to you to discuss a way forward.  

	That aside, I'm pretty impressed with your "third party beneficiary" proposal.  Did you learn that in Hainan?

In light of the impending arbitration proceedings between DPC and MSEB should we file a third party beneficiary claim against MSEB regarding the Fuel Management Agreement? The FMA is not part of Enron's equity in the plant, but is directly related to MSEB's performance under the PPA. EFI is due $2.5 million per year in monthly installments, fluctuating with the plant's availibility and based on DPC being paid by MSEB. Currently $13.8 million of MTM value and approximately $21 million of acurral (non PV dollars) is at risk on Enron's books. The DPC plant went commercial in May, 1998 so there are seventeen (17) years left on the FMA. What if anything should we do to protect EFI's interest?
