GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

ENRON CREDIT DERIVATIVES

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS ("GTCs")

1. Transactions

The parties shall engage in transactions for the purchase and sale of Credit Products (each a "Transaction") pursuant to these GTCs. Transactions will be initiated by [Insert Name of Counterparty] ("Counterparty") offering to buy or sell, to [Enron Credit Limited] / [Enron Credit Inc.] ("Enron") the Credit Product by either clicking on the designated boxes on the Website in respect of prices quoted on EnronOnline, or telephoning or e-mailing Enron at the addresses specified on the Website in respect of prices quoted on EnronCredit. The Website is not, and shall not be construed as, an offer to buy or sell the Credit Product by Enron. Enron may accept or reject Counterparty’s offer at its sole discretion. A Transaction shall be deemed executed at the time that Enron first signifies its acceptance of Counterparty’s offer, namely, (i) by electronic messaging system (including but not limited to return e-mail) in respect of prices quoted on EnronCredit, (ii) by telephone in respect of prices quoted on EnronCredit, or (iii) as is accessible on the Website server in respect of prices quoted on EnronOnline. Enron may also issue a written confirmation in respect of each Transaction in the form substantially similar to that attached hereto as < Schedule A in respect of Bankruptcy Swaps or Schedule B in respect of Credit Default Swaps, as applicable, (each a "Confirmation") by way of record of the terms of each Transaction.

2. EnronOnline Electronic Trading Agreement

In the event that Counterparty accepts, or has accepted, the Electronic Trading Agreement ("ETA") via the Website, it is agreed by Enron and Counterparty that:

  1. The words "financial products," shall be inserted in the fifth line of the first paragraph of the ETA after the words "for the trading of products and instruments based on";

  2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the ETA, including without limitation Section 3(a) thereof, these GTCs shall constitute, along with all the other provisions of the ETA and any other applicable terms contained on the Website or in a Confirmation, the entire agreement between the parties in respect of each Transaction, and shall supersede all prior oral or written communications or agreements (other than any Master Agreement), relating to the Transaction. In the event of any conflict between the ETA and these GTCs, these GTCs shall prevail; and

  3. The second sentence of Section 3(c) thereof, shall be deleted and replaced with: "A Transaction shall be deemed executed at the time Enron first signifies its acceptance of Counterparty's offer, namely, (i) by electronic messaging system (including but not limited to return e-mail) in respect of prices quoted on EnronCredit, (ii) by telephone in respect of prices quoted on EnronCredit, or (iii) as is accessible on the Website server in respect of prices quoted on EnronOnline.

3. Credit Default Swap Provisions

All Credit Default Swaps entered into between Enron and Counterparty shall be documented under the definitions and provisions contained in the 1999 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (the "Credit Derivatives Definitions"), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA"). The definitions and provisions contained in the Credit Derivatives Definitions are incorporated into these GTCs by this reference as if set-out herein.

In the event of any inconsistency between the Credit Derivatives Definitions and these GTCs, these GTCs will prevail for the purposes of each Credit Default Swap entered into between Enron and Counterparty.
