Mgt. Rep. Letter
I reviewed the latest draft of AA's management rep. letter and caught a few innaccuracies in the way AA described the deal. I attach a revised draft of the letter, with a redline version to highlight for you the changes I think we need to make to keep it accurate. First, AA only listed two of the four agreements that comprise the deal. They apparently forgot that we had created a second SBA. Additionally, at Transcanada's request, we put the transaction fee into a separate letter agreement this year. You will recall that last year, Sempra wanted the transaction fee put right in the SBA. Second, AA's bullet no. 4, as originally drafted, states that Northern does not intend to enter into an option to purchase any base gas during the term of the agreement. That statement is confusing given that Article VI.B of the Monthly Pack Agreement includes an account balance cash out mechanism that is a form of purchase option. That cash out mechanism was in Kent's bullets describing the deal and has been in every draft of the documents that AA looked at, so I assume they are OK with the mechanism and were just inartful in drafting bullet no. 4. My simple fix was to leave AA's language alone but to add an "except for" reference at the beginning of bullet no. 4. Third, AA's draft of bullet nos. 5 and 6 includes the somewhat ambiguous references to "other agreements" and "additional agreements" respectively. Since AA's list of the agreements in the intro paragraph was incomplete, these references in bullet nos. 5 and 6 were also innacurate. Now that I have made the list of agreements in the intro paragraph complete, I've clarified the bullets by adding the "other than those agreements referenced above" language to both bullets. The couple of other changes in bullet 5 simply clarify the meaning. Finally, I've modified the signature blocks per conversation with Bill to delete MKM and myself. I am certainly willing and able to sign this letter, but MKM is not up to speed on the deal and has not reviewed the agreements. Getting her up to speed enough to sign the letter would take some time. Additionally, Bill's thought was that MKM and I are his direct reports anyway, so it doesn't serve much purpose to have the subordinates sign if the top guy has signed. Please give me a call if you have any questions or want to discuss these matters.
