David,

Thanks for the info.

Could you address the following questions?

1) Do you have a redlined version of the GTC, highlighting changes from what
is online?
2) You mention: "Counterparties from other countries will require specific
tax clearance" - could you explain what this process will be?
3) Could you please confirm that Australia does not have a Double Taxation
Agreement with:

Argentina
Brazil
Canada
Croatia
Germany
Japan
Netherlands
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Singapore
Slovenia
(note these are all countries which have PA's under EnronOnline or are
expected to have PA's very soon)

4) 1.5: Reasonableness Test: "a determination needs to be made whether
inviting them to trade Australian Power could lead to a claim of
misleading/deceptive conduct under the Trade Practices Act 1974." Can you
make this determination or indicate how we can make this determination?

5) 1.2 Regulatory Obligations: "Confirm that counterparty will trade as
principal." In your opinion,does Clause 2(a) of the ETA sufficiently address
this concern?

Thanks for your help,

Dave

Subject: EnronOnline procedures and GTCs

Attached are the GTCs that I have revised to address tax issues that would
arise from counterparties with no Australia presence. I am content settlement
provisions already covered in the documentation. I have also developed a
checklist for new counterparties. Would you pass onto Chris Catt at PW for
his signoff.
