  5. Situation Assets providing liquidity are a commodity with quantifiable credit / liquidity risks. Source: Thomson Financial Securities Data CONFIDENTIAL

  6. Complication • Market inefficiencies point to opportunities for dealer disintermediation • Dealers have not fully embraced on-line technology: • Upfront capital investment • Do not want issuers to have access to investors • Direct sales force required for placements • ABS collateral reporting not standardized and infrequent (may be quarterly) • Banking regulations may soon increase asset issuance costs (Basel) • Limited on-line ABS / ABCP software options • Dealers, as bundled financial-service providers, pressure counter-parties in competitive market CONFIDENTIAL

  7. Commercial Idea:Set up an ENE Brokerage SPV to create a more efficient & open ABS market Investors To be determined Issuers Equity participants, initially • ABS SPV Created • Use ENE EOL technology • Use Comm Logic services • Broker deals, not a mkt maker ENW Majority Equity Position SPV Minority Equity Participants (for example) Other CONFIDENTIAL

  8. What are benefits to the parties? • Dealer • Increased liquidity • Diversified pool of issuers and investors • Potential to write “backstop” options for ABS liquidity • Retain revenue streams from structuring, underwriting, research, trading • Repurpose marketing and originating staffs (expense cut) • Access the Internet without internal development costs • Investor • Investment base broadens • Internet-based market facilitates selling out / down ABS / ABCP positions Issuer • Open Internet-based market allows issuer to lower-cost-of-funding by having market price offering (by lifting the offer) • Allows issuer’s product (ABS & ABCP) to be accessed by more funding sources CONFIDENTIAL

  9. Rewards / Risks to Enron • Rewards: • Expected $84mm annual revenue in ABS & ABCP market (ENE 100% owned) • ABCP $60B traded daily, ENE gains 2.5% of market • ENE receives 2.5 bps fee per transaction • Market views as expanding ENE’s core competency • Market needs this now • Long-term cash flow / market creator • Creates transparency / liquidity in financial market • Option of linking asset providing cash flow and other commodities • Risks: • ENE’s banking relationships may view as a threat • Structure may prove difficult to administer • Economic / credit markets tightening (recession worries) • Lack of current / viable financial data (slows secondary market) CONFIDENTIAL

  10. Next Steps • Gain internal support • Test idea to issuers (specifically excluding ENE's Tier 1 and 2 banks): • Bank One • GECC • GMAC • Siemens • Technical requirements determination when repurposing EOL • Understand rating agency and SEC requirements • Develop investor base CONFIDENTIAL

  15. Conduit Securitization • Special purpose corporation that regularly buys interests in pools of financial assets from one or more sellers • Issue commercial paper to fund purchases • Multi-seller operations dominate asset backed conduit market • Most are sponsored and administered by commercial banks • Sellers are generally bank customers • Generally require interest rate hedge in place • 2 layers of credit enhancement • Seller level enhancement, offsets asset delinquency and default • Program level credit enhancement from 3rd party such as insurance company surety bond or letter of credit CONFIDENTIAL
