Sydney Freedman, a tourist from Sydney, walked briskly across the darkened

"Everybody drives like a madman," added Sandstrom. "They say, 'I want to be

The couple paused to gaze in wonder at the intersection, learning more about
America in five minutes than a pile of guidebooks could tell them.
"This intersection," said Sandstrom, "reminds you not to take life for

A few minutes later, Parking Control Officer Tom Butz arrived in his meter
minder wagon and pulled his orange vest and whistle from the saddlebag. He
strode brave and true into the center of the bullring, planted himself
between the whizzing cars and began waving his arms as if conducting "The
Rite of Spring."
"I'm all by myself," he said. "I know it's a little risky. I'd better keep my
angels with me."
At that moment, the angels were on duty in Menlo Park, where a blacked-out
intersection at El Camino Real and Santa Cruz Avenue backed up traffic so far
that it stretched into neighboring Atherton.

Below is a summary of the major problems which occurred the past 96 hours and
the steps taken to mitigate the damage and risk.

Enron Center North (1400 Smith)

As a result of the flooding downtown, approximately six skyscrapers had their
electrical vaults flooded and began to cause cascading problemd in the
electrical grid downtown. The net result was the loss of one of the two 35kv
circuits which serve 1400 Smith. We (engineers, EES Maint, electrical subs)
believe at the time the circuits blew we shifted from three phase to single
phase power, which caused an imbalance in the load to the building.

Consequently, UPS "C" which serves a portion of the Lv 34 Data Ctr, the Rolm
phone switch, and a protion of the Traders floors lost a circuitboard, and
blew two internal fuses. This power degradation caused PDU "S" on Lv 34 to
trip its main breaker and shutdown power load to servers and equipment on
this PDU. This occurred shortly after Noon on Saturday.

 reference rate is calculated according
to a separate formula in the power purchase agreement (PPA).
According to the officials, "the Government will pay the money only after the
Union Law Ministry reviews the dispute between MSEB and Dabhol Power Company
over the Rs 401-crore penalty." This could mean a long wait for DPC and may
also end up in international arbitration, say senior MSEB officials.
MSEB has asked DPC to pay a penalty of Rs 401 crore for failing to make power
available at 90 per cent plant load factor (PLF) within three hours (as per
the power purchase agreement) of receiving the hourly requirement from MSEB.
The "default" happened on January 28 when one of MSEB's units tripped and it
required more power at short notice.
"We have asked them to adjust their bills for December, January and February
against the penalty," said Mr Vinay Bansal, Chairman, MSEB.
The board owes DPC a total Rs 341 crore for the three months.
While Enron officials have asked MSEB to at least pay the December dues,
before the "default" occurred, the board still holds that DPC should "adjust"
its bills against these charges.
"The interests will be adjusted once the Government makes payments.
MSEB will have to ultimately pay the amount as the Centre will recover the
dues from the State, and it, in turn, from us," said Mr Bansal.
Meanwhile, MSEB is "considering" paying its February bill to "ensure DPC's
business is not disrupted" in case of delay.
"We have received information that there may have been another default by DPC
during February. But that matter will be discussed only in May. We will
decide then if DPC is liable for another penalty," he said.
And, an Enron official said the "company might consider waiving the interest
on the guaranteed amount (Rs 229 crore) as we have been bending backwards
anyway, as far as payments are concerned."

 reference_rate is_calculated according
to a_separate formula_in_the power_purchase_agreement (PPA).
According_to the officials,_"the Government will pay_the money only_after_the
Union Law Ministry reviews the dispute between MSEB and Dabhol Power Company
over_the_Rs 401-crore_penalty."_This_could mean a long wait_for DPC and may
also_end up_in international arbitration, say senior MSEB officials.
MSEB_has_asked DPC to_pay a penalty of Rs 401 crore for failing_to make power
available at 90_per cent plant_load_factor_(PLF) within three hours_(as per
the power purchase agreement)_of receiving the hourly requirement from_MSEB.
The "default" happened on January 28_when one of MSEB's units tripped_and it
required more power_at short_notice.
"We have asked them_to adjust their_bills for_December, January and_February
against the penalty," said Mr_Vinay Bansal, Chairman,_MSEB.
The board owes DPC a_total_Rs 341 crore_for_the_three months._
While Enron officials_have_asked MSEB_to_at least pay the December dues,_
before_the "default" occurred, the board still holds_that DPC should "adjust"_
its_bills against these charges._
"The interests will be adjusted_once the Government makes payments.
MSEB_will have_to ultimately_pay the amount as the Centre will recover the
dues from_the State, and it, in turn,_from us," said Mr_Bansal.
Meanwhile,_MSEB_is "considering" paying_its_February bill_to "ensure DPC's
business is not disrupted"_in case_of delay.
"We have received information_that there may have_been_another default by DPC
during February._But that matter will be discussed_only in May. We will_
decide_then_if DPC is liable for_another penalty," he said.
And, an_Enron official said_the "company might consider waiving the interest_
on_the guaranteed amount (Rs 229 crore)_as_we have been bending backwards
anyway,_as_far_as payments are concerned."

    total revenue. Jeff, I don't believe the offer I showed you of $39 M is unreasonable. In
fact the team had recommended $42 M based on a number of measures.  I see the
6X multiple of annualized Q2 earnings as one of the best measures of the
potential value of this company.

I don't see it in the best interests of Enron to be transferring assets below
a reasonable market value between business units.  You can trust that I will
be keeping the Energy Capital Resources team's feet to the fire on the
realization of this value if you do not purchase the company.

If you and Steve can come up with a better indication of value, I will
support that transaction.

Dave,  I have ask Steve Harper, Jack Harmuth, Howard Selzer,and  Glenn Fox to
work with Steve Pruitt and see if the number you offered can be supported.
The value for proved developed reserves and the financial/legal issues can be
reviewed rather painlessly here in Houston.  The value for the  proved
undeveloped reserves will most likely require a visit to the working team to
see the program particulars, verify the acreage and, concluded the validity
of this estimate of PUD value.  The idea of paying before tax NPV10% for an
assumed 3.5 year program on top of the PD &PUD reserves will require a more
indepth review.

Obviously, we want to do this as simply as possible and I was prepared to
take the package "as is, where is" at book value which I understood to be in
the 30-32MM$ range including debt.  Dave I understand what you are doing and
I would support this effort if we were selling the asset outside of the

is to transfer this asset to EGEP for the reasons
