I am sure the treasury people understand the effect of the loc on their available credit lines. By the way. how much will the loc be for? Soma Ghosh 09/20/2000 09:32 AM To: Cris Sherman/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Sara Shackleton/HOU/ECT@ECT, Catherine Clark/HOU/ECT@ECT, Brian Kerrigan/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Alberta pre-pay collateral Cris, Following up on our conversation yesterday, I would be grateful if you would please confirm that from an accounting perspective we can use L/C's as collateral within our proposed structure. Having spoken with Legal & Credit, I understand that the use of cash as collateral creates difficulties under Canadian bankruptcy law regarding title to security & rights of set-off, therefore use of L/Cs would be the preferred route. Sara, can we revert to using L/C as collateral within docs. Many thanks, Soma
