As a resu= lt, Mirant will be purchasing the entire business of TransCanada Energy Fin= ancial Products Limited, and will be taking assignment of the physical gas = transactions/contracts of TransCanada Gas Services Inc. and TransCanada Gas= Services, a division of TransCanada Energy Ltd. As a result of this transaction, TransCanada Pipelines Ltd. will be termina= ting whatever credit support they provided for these entities and that cred= it support will be picked up by Mirant Corp, depending on the arrangements = that we have negotiated. With respect to TransCanada Energy Financial Produ= cts Limited, it was agreed that the ISDA that is currently between Enron Ca= nada Corp. and TransCanada Energy Financial Products Limited will be assign= ed to Mirant Canada Energy Marketing Ltd under the same credit terms as cur= rently exist. Mirant Corp will issue a $30 million USD guaranty to provide= the credit support for this document, the same dollar amount that TransCan= ada Pipelines Ltd was providing. They have also agreed to provide whatever= necessary collateral to cover their exposure, over the threshold, as a res= ult of their purchasing this entity. With respect to TransCanada Gas Services Inc., the only outstanding gas tra= nsactions are with Enron North America and these all relate to physical pro= duct. There is no contract between TransCanada Gas Services Inc. and Enron = North America, but TCPL is currently providing a guaranty for this business= . This guaranty will be terminated, and these transactions will be covered = under a current Mirant Corp guaranty covering Mirant Canada Energy Marketin= g Ltd. for physical gas transactions with Enron North America. This current= guaranty is for USD $10 million and is of a sufficient amount to cover the= current exposure as well as the exposure being brought over from TransCana= da Gas Services Inc.. Finally, with respect to TransCanada Gas Services, a division of TransCanad= a Energy Ltd, there is currently a physical gas master with Enron Canada Co= rp. However, this was executed in 1993 and is outdated with respect to cred= it provisions. I have been working with the credit contact at Mirant Canada= to get a new physical master between ECC and Mirant Canada Energy Marketin= g Ltd. This new master would govern all existing trades between ECC and Mir= ant Canada, as well as those coming over from TransCanada Gas Services, a d= ivision of TransCanada Energy Ltd. However, in the interim, the TransCanada= trades would still be covered by the existing master. TransCanada Pipeline= s will terminate their guaranty of this entity with respect to these transa= ctions. Alternatively, Mirant Corp has agreed to amend their existing guar= anty covering physical gas transactions between Mirant Canada Energy Market= ing Ltd. and Enron Canada Corp by increasing the coverage from USD $30 mill= ion to USD $50 million. This entity also has some exposure with Enron North= America, which will also be covered under the existing Mirant Corp. guaran= ty for USD $10 million. A contract between ENA and Mirant Canada Energy Marketing Ltd. would also b= e an ideal outcome out of this; however, the first priority is getting a ne= w physical gas master between ECC and Mirant Canada Energy Marketing Ltd. If there is any other information that I can provide on this matter, please= do not hesitate to contact me.
