Subject: re : exxon company , usa global # 96035668 / sitara # 212225 in response to cheryl ' s note , in looking at a copy of a confirmation letter confirming the proposed agreement reached on march 1 , 2000 to be effective april 1 , 2000 through march 31 , 2001 , there is evergreen language . a termination letter is being prepared to be faxed to exxon with an original to follow for their records . cheryl , this gtc is different from the ones we usually see in that hpl required signatures from both parties executed by exxon on 3 / 30 / 00 and hpl on 8 / 21 / 00 . if you have any questions , please call me at x 35231 . thanks , kim cheryl dudley 03 / 16 / 2001 08 : 58 am to : elsa villarreal / hou / ect @ ect cc : amelia alland / hou / ect @ ect , daren j farmer / hou / ect @ ect , kimberlee a bennick / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : exxon company , usa global # 96035668 / sitara # 212225 i have re - checked sitara & verified that the above deal was a term , firm deal . this resulted in a gtc purchase firm contract being set - up in the global contracts system . the term of the gtc was set as the term of the deal ( 4 / 1 / 00 thru 3 / 31 / 01 ) with no evergreen , meaning that the contract will expire at the end of this month . to the best of my knowledge , all gtc purchase firms have the same language & they do not have evergreen . they expire at the end of the primary term . so , unless exxon negotiated a deal with different , special language to allow for evergreen & included something about a " 10 day notification " to terminate , there isn ' t any reason to " terminate " this contract . if this is the case , please advise . otherwise , i don ' t think we need to do anything . the contract will expire at the end of this month on its own . elsa villarreal 03 / 15 / 2001 02 : 42 pm to : amelia alland / hou / ect @ ect , cheryl dudley / hou / ect @ ect cc : daren j farmer / hou / ect @ ect subject : exxon company , usa global # 96035668 / sitara # 212225 please prepare and send a termination letter by tomorrow march 16 , 2001 on the above referenced deal . houston pipe line company has not renegotiated a price and have no interest in buying the gas on an evergreen basis . it is my understanding that we need to notify them within 10 days of the end of the delivery period . if you need any additional information or have any questions , please contact me at 35656 . thanks . emv
