Dear Mr. Lavorato:

Following up on your and Ken Lay's conversation with Gary Cohn, I would like
to forward the following proposal, acting for each of Goldman Sachs Capital
Markets and J.Aron.
< In order to provide Enron North America with additional liquidity, J. Aron
< and GSCM have discussed entering into the following series of transactions
< on terms to be agreed between each of the relevant parties:
<
< 1. Enron Corp./J. Aron - FX Option sold by Enron Corp. to J. Aron with a
< settlement date of Dec 11, 01 would be settled on Nov 21, 01.
<
< 2. Enron NA/GSCM - Interest Rate Swap Portfolio - At Enron NA's option,
< we would either (a) close out and portfolio on Nov 21, 01, resulting in a
< payment from GSCM to Enron NA or (b) bilaterally reduce applicable margin
< trigger from $10mm to zero, which based on current MTM would result in
< $10mm of additional margin being paid by GSCM to Enron NA.
<
< Weather Derivative Transaction - Applicable margin trigger would be
< reduced from $50mm to $5mm, which based on current MTM would result in
< ~$18mm of margin being paid by GSCM to Enron NA.
<
< 3. Enron NA/J. Aron - Financial Derivative Portfolio - At Enron NA's
< option, we would either (a) close out and portfolio on Nov 21, 01,
< resulting in a payment from J. Aron to Enron NA or (b) bilaterally reduce
< applicable margin trigger from $10mm to zero, which based on current MTM
< would result in $10mm of additional margin being paid by J. Aron to Enron
< NA.
<
< Physical Natural Gas Receivable - In consideration of the foregoing, Enron
< NA would settle $10.5mm physical natural gas receivable for value Nov 21,
< 01.
<
Please call me at the number below at your soonest convenience to discuss
further. Thank you.
