Subject: How Are you?

Sue: Sorry that I didn't get back to you over the weekend but with Arthur's  baseball schedule and all the running around that we were trying to do,  things were a bit hectic.
I'm officially brain dead today so I thought that  I would take a break and write to one of my favorite people.
Things on the baby front are progressing well.
On our last ultrasound we got  the news taht we were hoping for with respect to the placenta problem and so  I've got the green light basically to do whatever I want to do although I am  still taking it easy and swimming alot.
The baby weighed about 4 pounds a  few weeks ago and everything looked great so I was quite relieved.
Now I'm  trying to spend what little free time I have getting ready.
the people here  at work are having a baby shower a week from Friday so hopefully that will  help since other than some of Arthur's clothes I am starting from scratch.
Work is going well although I am looking forward to winding down in a few  weeks.
I'm hoping that I can work up until the very end to maximize my time  off but we will see how that goes.
I really feel great except for being  uncomfortable at night and not getting much sleep but i suppose that this is  good practice for when the baby comes.
Arthur is doing great.
We got him 2 gerbils as a substitute for a larger  pet!
They're pretty cute, small, clean and so far easy to maintain.
He is  still heavily into baseball and was just selected for the All-star team which  we were absolutely thrilled about as was he!
He called dad practically every  day that he was trying out for the team to give him an update and I'm hoping  that dad can fly down for the tournament this weekend.
Arthur would  be on  cloud nine if he came.
We'll see.
Mom and dad offerred to keep Arthur for a  week over the summer and we are looking into that.
I'm toying with the  possibility of sending him when the baby is born, but  I'll just have to see  how it works out.
I would really love for you and mom to come once the baby  is born.
Do you have any thoughts on that?
You are obvious;y welcome at any  time, but i sense from mom taht she would prefer to wait until sometime in  august.
Let me know what you think.
How is Cindy doing?
Do you know what she needs for her new addition?
Do you  want to get her a joint gift?
Let me know.
I'm happy to do either something  on my own or jointly with you.
How's Cate?
Give her my best.
What's new with you and your career situation?
I hope that you are enjoying  what you are doing.
I certainly am and  I am still undecided about what I am  going to do once that baby is born, although I would really like to take the  rest of the year off.
I've got to run to my "baby class" tonight.
Take care and I will try to  catch up with you sometime.
I love you!

Subject: Update on Insurance/Derivative Transaction

Scott and Bruce: I understand from talking to Jane this morning that we will be able to work  with you as our counsel on the above transaction that we are working with ACE  on.
My understanding from our commercial people is that we should be getting  a redraft of the insurance policy sometime today with ACE which we will need  your help in reviewing.
Leslie Hansen and I will be working on this from the  legal end, with Leslie's focus being on the "power" issues and mine on the  "derivative" issues.
As I mentioned to Scott last week, we will alos need  your help in making sure that the derivative taht we draft is not construed  to be insurance.
A draft of the confirmation taht we anticipate using will  be sent out later this week.
In terms of timing, our goal is to be on-line by June 15th which will require  us to try to get all documentation finalized as soon as possible.
I will  keep you posted on any updates to our schedule.
Please feel free to call me  or Leslie (713-853-6121) with any questions.
If there are others that we  need to add to our distribution, please let me know.
Subject: Dresdner Bank, Reliant, SG Interests

Rod:  There are 2 open issues on Dresdner Bank:  1.
Netting - they are saying that operationally they cannot net across  product lines.
Are you okay with this?
2.
Calculation Agent - they want to be the Calculation Agent.
Since we have  no CSA with them, this means that they would be doing all of the calculations  required under each transaction that we enter into with them.
Specifically, the CA does the following:  - calculates the Floating Price and the Floating Amount, Fixed Amount or Cash  Settlement Amount payable - gives notice of Settlement and Payment Dates - determines whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred  Also, my notes indicate that we agreed to increase the Guaranty  cap to  $25,000,000 from $15,000,000.
Is that okay with you?
They had initially  requested no cap.
On Reliant Energy Services, Inc., you were going to think about the following  credit issues:  1.
Specified Transaction - they want to include physical energy deals.
You  were going to think about this and whether we needed a cap.
They wanted to  amend the definition of Specified Indebtedness to deal with this, but I think  you and I felt taht it should be dealt with in the definition of Specified  Transaction.
2.
Cross Default threshold - is 3% of equity okay?
3.
On Credit Event Upon Merger, they want to define "materially weaker" as  either (1) being below investment grade by either S&P or Moody's or (2) being  failed to be rated by either S&P or Moody's.
4.
On setoff, they did not have the "affiliate" language.
5.
In the CSA, they want the collateral that is posted to secure both  financial deals and physical gas and power deals entered into between ENA and  Reliant Energy Services, Inc.  6.
In the collateral threshold, they have proposed a matrix of S&P and  Moody's ratings, with the threshold amount being the lower of the 2 ratings.
AA-/Aa3 and above  $20,000,000 A-/A3 to A+/A1   $15,000,000 BBB/Baa2 to BBB+/Baa1  $10,000,000  BBB-/Baa3  $5,000,000   Also, they have defined MAC  to be going below BBB- by S&P or below Baa3 by  Moody's or a failure to be rated by either S&P or Moody's.
7.
In the LC provisions, they have different cure periods for each of the  types of Letter of Credit Defaults that can occur.
Here is a summary of the  events and the time periods for transferring substitute colateral:  - If issuer's credit rating is downgraded - 1 business Day after written  demand by the Secured Party - if issuer fails to comply with its obligations under the LC or disaffirms  or rejects the LC - 1 Business day after the pledgor receives notice of  dishonor - if LC fails to be in full force and effect or issuer declares bankruptcy -  3 Business Days after written demand by Secured Party  In our form, we require substitute collateral to be posted within 2 Business  Days of the occurrence of the above events, except for a downgrade where the  time period is 5 Business Days      On SG Interests, you were going to talk to them about certain credit issues.
Please let me know when you can where you stand on the above.
Thanks.

Subject: Weather Confirms

Sara and Jason: Here are my initial thoughts on how we can possibly shorten the weather  confirms that are done under a Master Agreement.
It seems like we could  amend the Masters to include the following definitions which seem to be used  in each conform:  Payment Date NCDC NWS HDD CDD The Fallback Reference Weather Station procedures - the confirm would  identify just the Fallback Reference Weather Station Data Sources  Let me know what you think.
Carol  Alos, is it necessary to specify bank account information if that is already  set forth in the Master?
Subject: Weather Confirms

Shari: The confirms desk has asked us to think about a way that we could shorten the  confirms that are sent out under Master Agreements by amending each Master to  include definitions/provisions that are common to all confirms.
Below is  what I have come up with.
Do you see any problems with this?
Carol
Subject: Fallback Reference Weather Station

Mark and Jarrod: Regarding this project of streamlining weather confirms, Shari asked about  the new language that we were gong to use to define the procedures for  determining the Fallback reference Weather Station.
Has that language ever  been finalized?
This is one of the things that I thought we could pull out  of the confirms so before we send out any Master Agreement amendments, we  should try to get this language finalized.

Subject: Ace Insurance Policy

Scott, Bruce, Sam and John: Gaurav has informed me that the next draft of the ACE insurance policy will  be distributed by ACE sometime tomorrow.
What we would like to do is  schedule a time on Monday that we could talk with you about it with the hope  that we could have a discussion with ACE soon afterward.
Could you please  e-mail to me and Gaurav Babbar some times on Monday that work for you as a  group and we will get something set up.
Thanks.

Subject: Mary Gosnell

Marie: I left Mary Gosnell a message making sure that she was of what we are doing  and that she needed to provide you with any additional new counterparties  that we have done trades with since last weeks list was compiled.
Alos,  could you please give Bob Bowen a call later today or first thing tomorrow if  we haven't heard from him?
Finally, it's my understanding that the  comparison Annex A that we will attach to the letter will be the new Annex A  that has been compared to the old annex a with the name change.
Thanks.

Subject: KCS Master Agreement Amendments

At Lisa Mellencamp's request I am sending you the amendment agreements that  we have drafted with respect to the physical and financial masters between  KCS and Enron.
Drafts of these agreements were sent to Harry Stout earlier  this week and some changes have been made since then.
I am enclosing both  clean and marked copies.
If you have any questions, please call me or Lisa.
My number is 853-3989.

Subject: policy

Enclosed is a revised draft of the policy without any modifications on the  exclusions as this is an area that ACE is apparently continuing to develop.
As I mentioned yesterday, we will talk with you about this on Monday at  1(Houston time).
Our commercial team would then like to have a call with ACE  sometime after our call to talk about exclusions, subrogation rights and  matters relating to books and records that are addressed in the policy.
I  don't think that all of you need to be on this call but was wondering if any  of you would be available for this call.
Please let me know.
Subject: Comments

Alicia The only comment that I have to the swap schedules is that I think we need to  have an exception built into the arbitration language that permits us to go  to court to enforce the remedies that we describe in the confidentiality  section.
This probably hold true for all of the docs where we have  arbitration and a ca provision.
Alos, there may be some defined terms that  are now used in the new confidentiality language that haven't been defined  (i.e, Enron, Enron Put Agreement etc)  Finally, should we upper case  "affiliates" in the confidentiality   language and either use the ISDA def or  some other def?

Subject: Reliable Power Product Description and GTCs

Joe: If we need to develop a form of confirm for this, are you the person that I  should work with or would someone else handle this?
Rod, Since we are doing a separate GTC for this product, we will not be able to  "net" on any payment date what we owe the counterparty under this product  against what the counterparty may owe us under other derivative products.
Are you okay with this?
Alos, we have been assuming that there are no other  counterparty credit issues with this product since other than the upfront  premium, payments will be made from us to them.
Are we safe in assuming this?

Subject: Final Form of Schedules

Rob: Enclosed is what I think should be the final form of the Schedules.

Subject: Arbitration/Process Agent Language in Form

Sara and I met with Richard Sanders today to resolve some questions that we  had concerning the arbitration and process agent language in our forms and  here is what we concluded needed to be done:  1.
If arbitration is chosen, there is no need to insert Waiver of Jury Trial  language  2.
Pending discussions that he will be having with Mark Haedicke and Jim  Derrick, no chnages need to be made to our arbitration language.
3.
Our Process Agent language will be revised such that under all  circumstances it will say the following:  Party A appoints as its Process Agent , ____________, having an office in
Subject: Southern Company Energy Marketing LP

Jeff: We have received a request from the above counterparty to alter the format of  the confirmation process on physical and financial deals.
In lieu of signing  each confirm that is sent to them, what they want to send back to us is a  letter signed by them in which they describe the confirm and indicate whether  or not they accept or disagree with the terms thereof and if they disagree  with such terms, they will return the confirm.
Are you okay with this  procedure?
Carol
Subject: Process Agent Language

Susan: Regarding Kate's e-mail, I have left a voice mail for Richard Sanders as to  which office we should designate.
If you need to send out the ISDA draft  before I hear back from him and before Kate hears back from Canada, go ahead  and leave the address blank and we can fill it in later.

Subject: Meeting with Tana

Mark and Sara: Tana came into my office last night and seemed to be very upset about how the  other 2 legal assistants were treating her, especially Susan Bailey, and also  about the fact taht Susan Bailey was going to be part of Samantha's training  and that this was a surprise to her.
On the latter issue, I explained to her  that given that the 2 Susan's were involved in the day to day routine, it  made perfectly good sense for 1 of them to handle this part of Samantha's  training especially since Tana was now out of the day to day stuff.
I am  very concerned that Tana is going to interfere with Susan's training process  given her attitude toward the whole thing which I really feel is ridiculous.
The only possibly valid point that she might have is the fact that we didn't  tell her that this was going to work this way, but even so, again it's Tana's  way of not be able to let go and not being a team player.
I explained to her  that both she and Tana had different roles to play with respect to Samantha's  training and that they both were important and taht in my opinion, Susan was  more than qualified to handle this part of Samantha's training.
On the first point, I told Tana that the only way that this group is gong to  work better is through "communicating" to each other.
I firmly believe taht  there are 2 sides to this and taht all 3 of them are guilty of treating the  other 2 at time in a not so pleasant way.
Tana of course will not admit  this.
I have no answers for this issue other than the fact that I am tired  of hearing about why they can't get along.
I also told Tana taht it was my  perception that Susan Bailey has been under alot of pressure given her  increased workload and other things and taht that could explain her attitude  which even I have noticed has been a little different lately.
I'm letting the both of you know about this because I don't want any of this  to negatively impact Samantha to the extent that it can be avoided.
Carol
Subject: Dresdner Bank

Rhett: I have asked the attorney that I am working with on this to call you directly  about their proposed tax rep language as well as their deletion of the  language in Part 3 regarding the delivery of tax docs.
I have enclosed below  the language that we currently have in the Schedule which they would not  accept and I believe you have their proposed language on the tax reps.
Thanks again for your help.
I just think that at this point it is easier for  the tax folks to talk directly to each other.

Subject: Master Hedging Agreement

Mark: Just 2 thoughts on the new draft:  1.
In the definition of Global Early Termination Date, how does this work  with the new Section 16 concept that Alicia has added to the Schedules  whereby the termination of Transactions that raise Section 16 problems may be  delayed?
2.
Does Section 5.06 conflict at all with the proviso in the Limitation of  Liability sections of both Schedules?

Subject: Letter of Intent

Jason: I thought that your drfat letter of intent looked fine.
Just a few  commments.
In section 6 - Conditions, could you put something in there  similar to the "Approvals" section in the November 10th letter since possibly  HSR and FERC approval may be needed?
Alos, in Attachment A, in Section 3  could you sya something to the effect that if tthere is no master in place  with Enron and a particular counterparty then Enron needs to be satisfied  with the terms of the master that is in place between Mrechant and such  counterparty.
I thought that the Assignment Agreement was very weak and that we need  something more than that.
Withg respect to the consent, the concept of the  assigned transaction be goverened by our Master needs to be in there.
Enclosed is the template that we have used in the Columbia deal.
Call me if you have any questions.
The only time that I won't be reachable  today is from 11:30-2.

Subject: ISDA Master

Rob: I received the documents and Susan Flynn will get them executed along with  the Enron Guaranty and the other certificates and get them back to you next  week.
My question for you is when you consider the agreement to be effective  for trading purposes?
I'm assuming you want to wait for the Enron Guaranty  and that any trades done before the Guaranty is sent to you would not be  confirmed under the Master.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
I  have asked Enron's counsel to process the Guaranty ASAP.
Thanks.
