Subject: Re: Draft Letter

In the interest of time, I am forwarding the attached contract to Kevin
Hughes, Wanda Curry, Don Black, Ron Adzegary, and Marty Sunde. Please read
the attached and confirm that this is your understanding of the PGET/EPMI/
EEMC assignment.

I am also at this time forwarding to the working group my four main points,
which I think reflect my main areas of concern under the drafts:

1. I would like to say that the price is the same under the transactions.
Transaction costs should be dealt with separately.
2. While we have agreed to take a pass through of the bankruptcy risk, this
draft provides that we take on all contract dispute risk. As I understand
it, EPMI intends to pass through all risk, such as change in delivery point
risk, under the contract. Since EPMI is our sole provider of power to EES
(other than the PGET contract), EPMI is in the best position to manage
general contract risk with its counterparties, as it does today with all our
physical electricity purchases. EPMI may have disputes under contracts for
many reasons that EEMC is not aware of and will not be in a position to
influence once the contracts are assigned to Avista.
3. I assume if EPMI trades out of these positions as it manages its own
portfolio, the credit risk would not follow to subsequent counterparties and
the EPMI/EES confirm terms would revert to typical confirm language.
4. I was operating under the assumption that the tax issue would be resolved
with Steve Douglass prior to signing the main documents. I am not sure
whether this issue can be quantified by EES tax today. Any suggestions or
ability to resolve/quantify today? Same concern for the accounting issues.
My concern here is that if the transaction leaves us in a worse economic
position as a result of making EPMI whole, this would need to be addressed
with our business people.

Elizabeth and JOhn, what are the next steps.
