FYI Per Sheila's inquiry and at Sara's direction, I called Ken Raisler at Cadwalader to determine if using the word "exchange" in a corporation's name would create any regulatory problems with the CFTC. Per Ken, there has been some historical sensitivity about the use of the word "exchange" . As we may have noticed though, a lot more companies are doing so without concern. He said there was no regulatory problem with the CFTC in using "exchange" in your corporate name, however, putting "exchange" in a company's name may put you on the CFTC's radar and get you more scrutiny. He also said that there may be regulatory conerns in Singapore and Hong Kong, so if we ever anticipate doing business there, it might not be a good idea.
Answer: Use of "exchange" in corporate name

Q: I had a brief conversation with Herman Manis, and he tells me that there is a different interpretation of accounting rules relating to power plants. Strangely enough, the change is one which should (I hope I hope) make power development projects easier. In the past, we ran into problems anytime we wanted to build a power plant and take megawatts off of it. Herman tells me that the current interpretation now focuses on the operation and maintenance of the plants, and not the power purchase agreement relating to the plant. This change in focus should make power development deals easier to structure. I would still like to set up an Intro to TurboPark meeting with Rose Engeldorf. Rose is currently involved in a push a couple of deals in the West this week, so it may be a bit before we can get it set up. A meeting with Herman would also be helpful. Maybe we can buy him lunch and quiz him on these new developments. Kay

IN: Greetings: We are getting considerable traction with the idea of using a "benchmark" to judge utility purchases, similar in concept to what's in place on the gas side. To oversimplify it: 1) set the benchmark 2) the utility buys for consumers and tries to beat the benchmark 3) if (at the end of the year) the utility has beat the benchmark, it shares the profits with consumers; if the benchmark wins, the utility shares the losses with consumers 4) the PUC performs no "after-the-fact" reasonableness; no "second-guessing" California likes the idea and is now looking to Enron to come up with what the benchmark ought to be. I talked to Calger a bit about it today and he suggested that I get together with you guys. As always, time's short. Are you available on Monday? Thanks,

Jorge: I may send you some emails throughout the day to help clarify some things for me. Where are your definitions of "Calculation Period" and "IPA Modified Calculation Period"? In your definition of "IPA Floating Rate Payment", you use the term "Share Spread" which is not defined. What do you mean? There is a dangling definition of "Share Spread" at the end of the IPA Compensation section, but it refers to spreads appearing in either Annex I or Annex II. In the "IPA Compensation" section, how is "a negative IPA elected"? Who is making an election? Let's discuss tomorrow.
