Q: Valued RDI client, Welcome to the second edition of Inside RDI, which you can access by clicking here. We've changed how we deliver this newsletter in response to your suggestions. More about that later. First, we'd like to tell you about some significant corporate changes at RDI. We are pleased to announce the merger of two of the world's most respected energy information, research, and market services groups: Financial Times Energy (FT Energy, including the RDI and E sourcebrands), a unit of Pearson plc, has been acquired by Platts, the energy division of The McGraw-Hill Companies. The merger with FT Energy fits well with Platts' mission: to be the world's largest and most authoritative provider of information, services, and solutions for the energy industry. Operating within Platts, RDI will maintain its commitment to its customers, offering data, geospatial, and consulting products and services of the highest quality. But combining our talents with Platts' considerable expertise will result in significant expansions of existing products and capabilities in the areas of news, price assessments, increased global support, and market analysis of the energy industry. In particular, Platts will augment RDI's database capabilities, mapping resources, and consulting services, providing a new level of analysis and insight. Furthermore, the merger with Platts will enhance RDI's ability to develop sophisticated new products and services. Just as in the past, should you have any questions about RDI database, geospatial, or consulting services, please direct your inquiries to RDI's Boulder, Colorado, office at 720-548-5000. Inside RDIwill continue to provide assessments of the latest industry trends, explain how you can use existing RDI products more effectively, and keep you up to date on the new tools we're developing. Because we listen to your thoughts and suggestions, we've changed our delivery method with this edition of Inside RDI. As you've requested, you'll now receive bimonthly e-mail updates with a link that will allow you to download the publication on the spot. (Alternatively, you can visitwww.rdionline.comto download the most recent edition whenever you wish.) We hope you'll find Inside RDI to be a useful business tool.

With respect to future Enron guarantees, there are at least three issues to be addressed in addition to the pervasive objective of transitioning out of the parent guarantee: 1. Excluding the value of major equipment from the guarantee. I believe this is already being done for new bids. 2. Carving out at least part of the guarantee as within Enron's/Nepco's discretion to establish performance or other bonding instruments. 3. Negotiating transferability of the guarantee, i.e. the guarantee can be assumed by another credit-worthy entity with at least investment grade or, if necessary, at least a rating equal to Enron's at the time of assumption. Since the substantive financial protection afforded by an Enron parent guarantee to the contract value would not be compromised if these are implemented, Enron's corporate position is very likely to push very hard on these points. Logically, owners and project lenders should be willing to accept these structures--even though there undoubtedly would be strong initial pushback. On the other hand, there may be a real question whether to accept contracts that do not provide for these relatively small steps away from the traditional hell or high water parent guarantee that Enron has approved in the past. Discussion of these issues should be included in the DASH. In any event, each new contract requiring an Enron guarantee will have to be approved by Rick Buy personally.
