Chevron Corporation We have Mr. Carmody's letter dated 23 September 2011. As you know, Treca wrote to you on 23 September 2011 and provided notice of termination of the Funding Agreement. That notice was sent by courier and email; the time of the email transmission was shortly after noon, New York time, on 23 September. Mr. Carmody's letter was not delivered to Treca's Cayman corporate agent until very late in the day on 23 September (a Friday) in a plain white envelope and did not come to the attention of Treca's investment adviser until 26 September. We note that Mr. Carmody evidently elected not to send his letter by email to Treca's counselor investment adviser despite their identities being Treea's counsel, Mark Hansen, Mr. well-known to him. Although he shows a copy of his letter to Treca's Carmody did not email Mr. Hansen the letter until the afternoon of27 of 27 September. It is hard to resist the conclusion of attempted - but unavailing - gamesmanship in your communications. In light of Treca's termination of the Funding Agreement, your belated provision of a Proposed Trust Deed is moot, except to confirm once again what Trcca Treca has said for months - that Claimants are not, and have never been, entitled under the Funding Agreement to issue a Funding Notice because oftheir of their non-compliance with section 8 of the Funding Agreement.
