Re:	PG&E Core Agreement 5763 Dated:  October 1, 1999, Master Gas Purchase and Sales Agreement between PG&E On Behalf of Its Core Customers and Enron Canada Corp. ("ECC") (the "Canadian Gas Agreement")

Dear Sirs:
As you are aware, PG&E filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition under Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") on April 6, 2001, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division (No. 01-30923) (the "Bankruptcy Filing").     As a result of such filing or in connection with Enron's exercise of certain termination rights under the parties' forward and swap contracts, a number of transactions between Enron and PG&E have been terminated, consistent with Sections 556 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Final settlement of such forward and swap contracts is exempt from the automatic stay pursuant to Sections 362(b)(6) and (17) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The following is a list of all the transactions that have been terminated, together with our determination of the amounts owed in connection with each such termination.

A.	TERMINATION OF COMMODITY FORWARD AND SWAP TRANSACTIONS BY ENRON

US Power Transactions
Pursuant to the MPA, EPMI was selling power to PG&E pursuant to 3 transactions prior to the termination of such transactions.     A summary of the terms of these transactions is set forth in Appendix A, together with a copy of the MPA.  Pursuant to the MPA, EPMI provided notice to PG&E that EPMI was terminating the 3 transactions effective April 9, 2001 due to the Bankruptcy Filing.  A copy of this notice is attached as Appendix A-1.
Pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the MPA, the non-defaulting party, in this case EPMI, is required to compute a settlement amount with respect to each terminated transaction and to aggregate such amounts into a termination payment consistent with the parameters set forth in such agreement.  Based on EPMI's calculations, PG&E owes EPMI $_______ (U.S.) in unpaid receivables in connection with the 3 US power transactions for power previously delivered by EPMI to PG&E and EPMIpursuant to the 3 US power transactions for , PG&E owes EPMI $_______ (U.S.), [which represents the sum of previously issued and unpaid invoices and additional amounts in respect of deliveries prior to the transaction termination date for which invoices had not yet been issued as of such date.]  EPMI, on the other hand, owes PG&E a total settlement amount (after nettingaggregating the termination values for all of the transactions) of $_________ (U.S.), forthereby resulting in a total amount owing from EPMI to PG&E under the MPA as a result of the termination of the transactions of $_____________ (U.S.).   Appendix A sets forth the history and amountcalculation of the unpaid receivables due and owingamounts owed to EPMI on account of prior power deliveries and the calculation of the settlement amount for each of the transactions, including a description of the method EPMI used to determine the amount of the termination payment owing to PG&E as required by the MPA.
US Gas Agreement
Pursuant to the US Gas Agreement, ENA was obligated to supply natural gas to PG&E.  A summary of the transaction subject to the US Gas Agreement is set forth in Appendix B, together with a copy of the US Gas Agreement.     Pursuant to the terms of the US Gas Agreement, this transaction was automatically terminated as a result of, and effective as of the date of, the Bankruptcy Filing (April 6, 2001).  ENA notified PG&E of this automatic termination pursuant to a letter dated April 9, 2001, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B-1.  
Like the MPA, the US Gas Agreement requires, in Section 3, the non-defaulting party, in this case ENA, to calculate the termination payment that may be due in connection with such termination consistent with the parameters set forth in such agreement.  Based on ENA's calculations, PG&E owes ENA $________ (U.S.) in unpaid receivables in connection with previous deliveries of gas by ENA, PG&E owes ENA $________ (U.S.), which represents the sum of previously issued and unpaid invoices and additional amounts in respect of deliveries by ENA prior to the termination date for which invoices had not yet been issued as of such date.  PG&E andalso owes ENA a termination payment pursuant to the US Gas Agreement of $_________ (U.S.), forthereby resulting in a total amount owing from PG&E to ENA of $_____________ (U.S.).  Appendix B sets forth the history and amountcalculation of the unpaid receivablesamounts owed to ENA on account of prior gas deliveries and the calculation of the termination payment, including a description of the method ENA used to determine the amount of the termination payment owing to ENA as required by the US Gas Agreement.
Canadian Gas Transactions
Pursuant to the Canadian Gas Agreement ("CGA") and the transactions subject thereto, ECC was selling natural gas to PG&E   pursuant to 11 transactions prior the termination of such transactions.  A summary of the terms of the transactions is set forth in Appendix C, together with a copy of the CGA.  Pursuant thereto, ECC provided notice to PG&E that ECC was terminating the 11 transactions effective April 12, 2001.  A copy of this notice is attached as Appendix C-1.
Like the MPA and the US Gas Agreement, the CGA requires the non-defaulting party, in this case ECC, to calculate the termination payment that may be due in connection with such termination consistent with the parameters set forth in such agreement.  Based on ECC's calculations, PG&E owes ECC $_________ (U.S.) in unpaid receivables in connection with gas delivered pursuant to the 11 Canadian gas transactions, PG&E owes ECC $_________ (U.S.), which represents the sum of previously issued and unpaid invoices and additional amounts in respect of gas deliveries prior to the termination date for which invoices had not yet been issued as of such date.  ECC owes PG&E a total termination payment (after netting the termination values for all of the transactions) of $_________ (U.S.), forthereby resulting in a total amount owing from PG&E to ECC of $_____________ (U.S.) as a result of the termination of the transactions.   Appendix C sets forth the history and amountcalculation of the calculation of the unpaid receivablesamounts owed to ECC on account of prior gas deliveries and the calculation of the termination payment for each of the transactions, including a description of the method ECC used to determine the amount of the termination payment owing to PG&E as required by the CGSA.
US Financial Transactions
Pursuant to the Master ISDA Agreement, ENA entered into 5 (U.S.) financially-settled, gas basis swaps with PG&E which were documented under 10 separate confirmations.     A summary of the terms of the transactions is set forth in Appendix D, together with a copy of the Master ISDA Agreement.  Pursuant to the Master ISDA Agreement, ENA provided notice to PG&E that ENA was terminating the 10 transactions effective April 9, 2001.  A copy of this notice is attached as Appendix D-1.
Like the other agreements described above, the Master ISDA Agreement requires, in Section 6(d) of such agreement,   the non-defaulting party, in this case ENA, to calculate the termination payment that may be due in connection with such termination consistent with the parameters set forth in such agreement.  Based on ENA's calculations, PG&E owes ENA $_______ (U.S.) in unpaid receivables in connection with the 10   financially-settled, gas basis swap transactions and PG&E owes ENA a total termination payment (after netting the termination values for all of the transactions) of $_________ (U.S.), for a total amount owing from PG&E to ENA of $_____________ (U.S.) as a result of the termination of the transactions.   Appendix D sets forth the history and amount of the unpaid receivables and the amount of the termination payment for each of the transactions, including a description of the method ENA used to determine the amount of the termination payment owing to PG&E as required by the Master ISDA Agreement.
Interest Rate and Conversion Factor
To the extent any of the above calculations of a termination payment required Enron to present value the payment, Enron used a LIBOR-based curve.   Appendix E sets forth such LIBOR-based curve, together with an explanation concerning how it was derived.  To the extent any of the above calculations of amounts owed required conversion from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars, Enron ____________________used the spot exchange rate in effect on the termination date.  Appendix E sets forth the applicable conversion factor[s] used by Enron.
B.	SUMMARY OF AMOUNTS OWED BETWEEN ENRON AND PG&E IN CONNECTION WITH CERTAIN COMMODITY FORWARD AND SWAP TRANSACTIONS
The following is a summary of the net payments due and owing between Enron and PG&E in connection with the above commodity forward and swap transactions:
EPMI owes PG&E		($86,000,000)
on account of  the U.S. power
transactions under the MPA
PG&E owes ENA		$24,000,000
under the U.S. Gas
Agreement
PG&E owes ENA		$23,000,000
under the Canadian gas
transactions
PG&E owes ENA		$71,000,000
under the U.S. financial
transactions
The amounts set forth above do not include amounts that may be owing under any of the agreements in respect of the period from and after the termination dates[date of the Bankruptcy Filing].
In addition to the amounts set forth above, PG&E owes EPMI significant amounts in connection with both: (1)  PG&E's non-payment to the California Power Exchange ("CalPX") and the California Independent System OperatrOperator ("CalISOISO") of substantial sums due and owing by PG&E to the PX and ISO, respectively, which non-payments by PG&E (a) resulted in a shortfall in payments due and owing by the CalPX and CalISOISO to EPMI   and (b) with respect to the CalPX, may result in a "charge back liability" to EPMI for a portion of such payment failures pursuant to the CalPX tariff (collectively, the "CalPX and CalISOISO Unpaid Amounts"), and with respect to which in both cases EPMI is entitled to seek recourse against the defaulting party, in this case PG&E; and (2)  PG&E's non-payment of substantial "direct access credits," often referred to as "negative CTCs" ("Direct Access Credits"), that were accrued and owing prior to the Bankruptcy Filing and which related to the provision of retail electric power by two Enron retail energy service providers for direct access customers located in PG&E's service territory.  [The claim against PG&E for payment of the Direct Access Credits is held by EPMI pursuant to an assignment and transferits assumption of the wholesale power purchase portfolio formerly held by the two Enron retail energy service providers (Enron Energy Services, Inc. and Enron Energy Marketing Corp.) of their portfolio of wholesale power contracts to EPMI, as noted in Enron's public filings and which is effective December 31, 2000, consistent with (a) Enron's objective of having EPMI, its wholesale power company, manage all risks and exposures associated with the purchase, sale and cost management of wholesale power and (b) the direct linkage between the determination and calculation of the Direct Access Credits and the wholesale cost of power. 
Because of the delay in the completion of the CalPX's and CalISOISO's accounting and reconciliation statements and invoices due, in part, to the cessation of CalPX's ongoing operations and certain unresolved valuation and tariff application questions affecting the CalPX and its properties, EPMI has not been informed of the amount of the claims it has against PG&E resulting from PG&E's defaults on certain of its CalPX and CalISOISO obligations. [  Enron estimates, however, based on certain financial information it has received to date from the CalPX and CalISOISO, including certain assumptions pertaining to the allocation of payment shortfalls resulting from publicly disclosed non-payments by PG&E and Southern California Edison Company, respectively, that itEPMI (exclusive of any amounts owed to any other Enron affiliate, including Portland General) likely will have a claim against PG&E on account of its defaults to the CalPX and the ISO that are well in excess of $30 million.  EPMI will inform PG&E as soon as practicable of the amounts it is owed on account of PG&E's defaults promptly upon receipt of such information from the CalPX or its successor or designee and the CalISOISO.]
Enron also estimates that PG&E owes EPMI approximately [$380 million] in unpaid Direct Access Credits as of the date of the Bankruptcy Filing.  
Lastly, as you are also aware, under the terms of the above referenced master agreements, PG&E will also be responsible for all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Enron in connection with the termination of transactions thereunder.
C.	EXERCISE OF SETOFF RIGHTS
Sections 5.6 and 5.4 of the MPA, respectively, expressly provide as follows:
[Section 5.45.6]
"After calculation of a Termination Payment in accordance with Section 5.3, if the Defaulting Party would be owed the Termination Payment, the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled, at its option and in its discretion, to (i) set off against such Termination Payment any amounts due and owing by the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party under any other agreements, instruments or undertakings between the Defaulting Party and the Non-Defaulting Party (which agreements shall include any natural gas purchase and sale agreements between EPMI’s Affiliates and Party B.).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any right of setoff to which any Party may otherwise be entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise) shall not apply with respect to any amounts owed under any other agreements between the parties that are based on the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement, and/or (ii) to the extent the Transactions are not yet liquidated in accordance with Section 5.2, withhold payment of the Termination Payment to the Defaulting Party.  The remedy provided for in this Section shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of setoff, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any Party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).   (Emphasis added). 
	[Section 5.65.4]
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Non-Defaulting Party shall not be required to pay to the Defaulting Party any amount under Article 5 until the Non-Defaulting Party receives confirmation satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion (which may include an opinion of its counsel) that all other obligations of any kind whatsoever of the Defaulting Party to make any payments to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement or any  physical natural gas purchase or sale agreement(s) between Party B and Party A or Party A’s Affiliates which are due and payable as of the Early Termination Date (including for these purposes amounts payable pursuant to Excluded Transactions) have been fully and finally performed. [Section 5.4]"   (Emphasis added.)
Pursuant to the foregoing express contractual rights and in accordance with the rights granted in Sections 362(b)(6) and (17) of the Bankruptcy Code, EPMI is exercising its rights to setoff amounts EPMI owes PG&E under the MPA against amounts PG&E owes EPMI as well as its affiliates, ENA and ECC, pursuant to the US Gas Agreement and the CGSA, respectively.   These contractual setoff rights are a recognized exception to the general mutuality provisions of bankruptcy setoff law.  In accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.6 of the MPA, EPMI shall not setoff amounts owed under any agreements between the parties that are based on the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement.  Enron will file a claim in the bankruptcy court for any amounts remaining unpaid by PG&E after EPMI's exercise of its setoff rights.
