No comments were made concerning the legal opinion for the legal counsel for the bond provider. I was going to suggest that the contract language be modified to provide that the Company had a reasonable amount of time at the end of the lst 5 yr bond term to provide a substitute bond for the remaining term and that if the Company was able to get a replacement bond in place before the expiration of such period, no default would occur. Can you tell from the letter that Phil Bair is proposing if their are any other issues that either ENRON or the Bond Provider would have concerning the terms of the Bond and the Customer's methods of getting funding thereunder. ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** ********************************************** This was forwarded to me by Phil DeMoes. Dan, Take a look at this letter prepared by our surety provider on the PEAK pre-pay. In particular, note the last paragraph. I'm concerned on the unwind if there is a default. We plan to meet tomorrow with Joe Deffner and Breese tomorrow morning. Are you available? ---------------------- Forwarded by Phil DeMoes/Corp/Enron on 02/22/2001 11:29 AM --------------------------- Phil DeMoes 02/21/2001 01:30 PM To: Mark Breese/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: PEAK Surety Reference Letter FYI. ---------------------- Forwarded by Phil DeMoes/Corp/Enron on 02/21/2001 01:29 PM --------------------------- "Phil Bair" on 02/21/2001 01:21:17 PM To: cc: Subject: PEAK Surety Reference Letter Phil-Attached is a first round draft of a reference letter for the PEAK project. Please review and let me know what changes are suggested. I've made calls to several of the major sureties this morning to re-confirm the availability of long term/non-cancellable bonds. Five years is the general ceiling. We need to be careful PEAK understands that if the surety elects not to renew at the end of the first five years, this does not trigger an automatic demand against the bond. PEAK should already know the issues involved from the surety side based on previous negotiations they had with other energy marketers when this project was negotiated (without success) last fall. This is not an Enron issue-it goes to commercial availability. Call me with your comments. Thanks. Philip N.
