This product will now be entered into by ENA (rather than by Enron Japan Corp. as had been looked at before) and Robert Fuller (i.e., a trader in Houston) is being posted as the allowable trader. Two transactions will occur once a Japanese counterparty enters into the transaction through EnronOnline: (1) It will enter into the WTI swap, which is denominated in JPY, with ENA; and (2) because ENA will have the JPY FX risk, it will enter into a JPY hedge transaction. Note that for the JPY FX hedge, we will need to make a same day hedging identification for US tax purposes. Do you know who I should contact to confirm that this identification will be made?

Any thoughts for Jan & Stefan? -----Original Message----- From: Glover, Sheila Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 1:57 PM To: Bruce, Michelle Cc: Dallmann, Shane; Adams, Laurel Subject: FW: JPY WTI Swap Michelle, We spoke to Jan-Erland when he was here. For our part, ENA will do a currency trade with Enron Japan. We will confirm and settle with them as with other international companies.

Cc: Horn, Cindy; Niesler, Stefan Subject: FW: JPY WTI Swap I received this from the Tokyo office. John - I am not sure what book this will go it. Could you check and see if EOL / Nowlan is aware of transaction if it will be part of our books? Sheila - The deal discusses much interaction w/ Gary Hickerson on the FX side. Are you aware? Angelo - Looks like they want to settle via ENA. Are you on board w/ this? Michael - from a legal aspect, is ENA set up for this type of trade? Thanks, Michelle xt. 57532 -----Original Message----- From: Niesler, Stefan Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 12:18 AM To: Bruce, Michelle Subject: JPY WTI Swap Michelle, Sorry for calling you at home yesterday. Please find attached the documentation as promised. As Jan-Erland mentioned, the transaction is very straight forward. It is basically the same product as the existing 24/7 USD WTI Swap. The only difference is the contract currency which is JPY. The floating price in the transaction once it is determined needs to be converted into JPY. To do this we use the mid of the Bid and Offer FX rate published by the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. You can find this FX rate on Reuters (page TKFF). As ENA will be counterparty in this transaction you will probably be involved in the settlement. What we wanted to make sure is that you feel happy in getting all relevant numbers for a smooth settlement. A quick response from you side would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
