I'll let you know what Shelley says. I really feel a need to keep the EOL guys honest, so a full-fledged agreement would probably not be overkill. But in reality, a term sheet is probably almost as good. ---------------------- Forwarded by Susan Scott/ET&S/Enron on 01/19/2001 04:13 PM --------------------------- Susan Scott 01/19/2001 04:08 PM To: Shelley Corman cc: Tony Pryor/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Frazier King/FGT/Enron@ENRON Subject: agreement with EOL Shelley, I understand that there is a concern about TW having a written agreement with EOL without the other two pipelines having an agreement. From my perspective, TW needs an agreement because TW is uniquely situated. Here's why. - My understanding is that TW is the only pipeline that has been asked to pay a fee. - The developers Michelle Lokay and I have been talking to seem very uncertain about exactly what the fee covers. - $50,000 is a lot of money to Transwestern. - Transwestern has a recent history of not getting what it thought it had bargained for from affiliated companies, and would appreciate our trying to protect them. I am not trying to create extra work for anyone. I am just a little confused about why a contract for TW would necessitate a contract for the other 2 companies. If you could help me understand, I would appreciate it. If the consensus is that we feel strongly that TW should not have a written agreement, then I would at least insist on a detailed letter of intent or term sheet. This would force both sides to think ahead about what is expected. (And, as a practical matter, it's highly unlikely that we're going to take legal action for breach of contract against an affiliate...) Thanks.
