We need an immediate legal review to see what are on-going $ risks are in E=
RCOT. The deficiency of $6500 is no big deal when they allocate to all of=
the QSE's on a pro-rata basis, however what if the deficiency is $100 mill=
ion and we our pro-rata share is $3 million?

Do we have any legal recourse? Do they suspend the deficient QSE immediat=
ely?

Gentlemen:

I have a call in to Thane Twiggs from Regulatory affairs to ask what is at =
the bottom of this. Obviously this is a bad situation.

QSEs that are owed monies from ERCOT on invoices that are due today, Octobe=
r 15, 2001, will notice that the amount of funds transferred is short of th=
e balance due on the invoice. This is a notification that ERCOT will follow=
the "short payment" procedure stated in the ERCOT protocols for payments b=
eing made to QSEs today. Due to short payments by one or more QSEs, ERCOT =
is insufficient of funds to pay all amounts in full. As described in the E=
RCOT protocols, section 9.4.4, ERCOT will deduct ERCOT administrative fees =
and reduce payments to all invoice recipients that are owed monies. The red=
uctions will be based on a pro rata basis of monies owed to each ERCOT cred=
itor for this invoice to the extent necessary to clear ERCOT's accounts on =
the payment date to insure revenue neutrality for ERCOT. ERCOT will distrib=
ute past due funds on a pro rata basis of monies owed on the next business =
