SKILLING - Okay. RAY - You know, over 100%...102%, something like that. SKILLING - Okay. RAY - Um, and then they work out uh, uh, a deal based on, you know, whatever interest is earned on the money and they split it up. Uh, obviously they're, you know, split up. There's not gonna be a whole lot, especially if it's like in T-bills. WILLING - Okay. RAY - So uh, so they're willing to pay you 80 basis points of that amount. WILLING - Okay. RAY - Um... SKILLING - Uh, I'm alright with that. Uh, let's do this. Let's uh, the same thing we did before, let's do another 400,000 shares of AES. RAY - Okay, just 400? WILLING - Yeah, just four uh, this time.

One second here. Yeah, cause I'm looking at the notes here and it's still 13 you as an affiliate. Um... 14 SKILLING - Let me do this. Why don't uh, hold that order.

WILLING - Yes, and so if you can just hold off on that for ...for just a second uh, or uh, until I get you that letter, then we can go ahead and do that. But on the other if we can go ahead and get started on that I'd appreciate it, GLENN. RAY - Right. It's gonna take probably about five minutes to make sure we can borrow the shares. WILLING - Okay. RAY - Then get the approval, and then I'll have to call you back.

Number one is um, 4 uh, for either of these positions, but especially for your ENRON position, there 5 are other ways that we can actually liquidate those shares or hedge them. 6 WILLING - Okay. 7 RAY - Uh, you know, we can do ...I don't know if you're familiar with what a collar is. 8 WILLING - Yeah. 9 RAY - Uh, where you, you know, you ...you set an up side and a down side basic um, 10 uh, uh, limits on the value. Uh, or there's forward contracts, where you can sell 11 the shares ...you can get most of the funds now, but actually uh, take the tax 12 liability in two or three years. 13 WILLING - Okay. 14 RAY - Urn, there's... there's some things like that, that we may wanna discuss. Uh, the 15 other issue was uh, your exit strategy for the AES position. 16 WILLING - Yes. 17 RAY - Urn, obviously um, it's off of its highest for the year.

Obviously, you 4 can't go below zero, but uh, at some point I'm sure that you're going to want to 5 take some profits here. 6 SKILLING - Yep. 7 RAY - Uh, also, we need to be thinking about if the stock were to turn around and go 8 the other direction, at what point would you want to take the profits you've 9 already accumulated and... and... and obviously, we don't wanna go...have this 10 to go into a loss. 11 SKILLING - Right. 12 RAY - Uh, especially with this number of shares. 13 SKILLING - Well, I wanna let it ride. I want ...on that one I wanna let it ride for awhile. On 14 the other, I'd be interested if...if you have a costless collar option. 15 RAY - Correct. Uh-huh. Yeah. 16 SKILLING - Uh, I would uh, kind of like to see what the numbers on that look like. 17 RAY - Okay.
