We all knew about this concept--its Danny's "Newco" idea. The only thing
that is new is they finally decided on a name and got the paperwork for the
new corporate entity out of the Corporate Secretary's office. I knew about
the name a couple weeks ago. As far as I know, no one has signed off on any
particular transaction or on a procedure to follow when "Mavrix" starts
transacting business. We all better understand at that point that this may
be a "lose lose" deal--if Mavrix makes a ton of money, everyone will come
after it (as soon as they find out) and claim we arre playing games with
confidential information if Mavrix is trading capacity on the Enron pipes.
If Mavrix loses money, tough cookie--there's no way to plow the losses back
into some regulated entity. It is probably now time to have a prayer meeting
with Danny, Steve, and probably Stan, just to make sure everyone knows what
we all think about the risks before they charge off and start doing deals.

I thought the officers had discussed this with Danny quite some time ago, as
the organization of the company was set in motion in early Dec.

Mavrix Transportation Trading Corp. has been organized as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ETS for the purpose of transportation capacity management. The
officers are the same as the slate of officers of Transwestern. The company
will neither buy or sell gas nor use transportation capacity. However, it
does plan to enter into natural gas transportation contracts (and resell the
capacity thru capacity release). That is why the creditworthiness question
has come up.
I really don't have any information so send you, unless you want to see the
organizational documents. Steve Harris can answer any business-related
questions you have. Or, I'll be happy to try to answer any other questions.

Susan, maybe I'm the only one, but I hadn't heard of this new company and
what it is to be used for until Mondauy's staff meeting. What details do we
have on this? can you send me some info on this? thanks MK

Subject: Mavrix

Mavrix Transportation Trading Corp., which is a subsidiary of ETS, needs to
satisfy TW's creditworthiness requirements in order to enter into a
transportation agreement with TW. Paul Cherry has suggested that Northern
Natural Gas issue a guarantee. Please let me know whether you think this
would be acceptable. If Mavrix wanted to hold NNG capacity, TW could issue
the guarantee.
