I just spoke to Rick Borden (Royal's counsel). We went through some of the
documentation status and his view on how his documents will look.

He will be providing us today with an Acknowledgement Agreement to be
executed by Enron. This will acknowledge the assignment of the BF Equity
documents as security for its credit obligations and will include the
increased costs indemnity. His initial draft will use fairly standard
increased costs language which we can mark-up as required to make more
palatable for the accountants.

We discussed generally the acceleration on illegality under the BF Equity
credit agreement. Still waiting for direction from the business people on
this.

He also indicated that he would be drafting the Interest Rate Swap. The
non-standard features of this will be the adjustment mechanism which they
propose will apply on Sched II's coming into the syndicate, and on a
mandatory rollover from BAs' to prime which would occur if there is no market
for BAs', if it becomes illegal to issue BAs' or if there is a default in the
credit agreement where such default emanated from Enron (eg. non-payment). I
don't think this has been discussed previously and needs to be considered
from both the business and accounting side.

Other documents:
His form of opinion will be coming today.
The Bank is doing the fee letter and will be distributing today.
Blakes will distribute our forms of opinions today.

If any of the above is problematic we should follow up with the Bank and/or
its counsel this morning.
