Subject: Bridgeline - Bankruptcy issues


Chip,  I wanted to follow up regarding the issues that were raised by the cash committee relative to LRCI and our request for approx $300k to pay Dow under our lease on storage caverns #13/#14.
David Zdunkewicz, an A&K bankruptcy lawyer, was asked to consider whether it might be prudent to have the 4 Enron Partners (LRC, LRCI, LGMC, and LGMI) file voluntary petitions in bankruptcy.
The reason to do this would be primarily driven by the flexibility that it would afford the cash committee to fund some of the Enron Partner's liabilities.
It was thought that such a bankruptcy might also have the effect of invalidating the consent right that Texaco currently has on sales of the partnership interests pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.
David indicated, from his firm's preliminary review, that the potential negatives outweigh the possible advantages for the following reasons:  1)  Filing for bankruptcy may result in a claim by Texaco that the partnership agreement is an executory contract and that Texaco could reject any attempt by the Enron Partners to assume the contract.
This would result in a deemed default by the Enron Partners under the Partnership Agreement notwithstanding the absence of any specific default language for a partner's bankruptcy; and   2)  The rights of Texaco to consent to any transfer of the Enron Partner's partnership interest would not, as previously thought, be invalidated by any bankruptcy.
All of this may be moot as Brian Redmond has secured a preliminary agreement from Bridgeline to pay Dow directly (since they have the obligation to reimburse these amounts anyway).
If that doesn't come to fruition, however, these findings will be important.

Subject: Enron Update


This has been a tough couple of weeks.
I hope that these daily communications on new developments are helping you understand what's happening with our company.
Here's a rundown of events from last week:  	We executed a commitment letter with JPMorgan and Salomon Smith Barney that will provide us with additional secured credit lines worth $1 billion.
Our Northern Natural Gas Company and Transwestern Pipeline Company will support these assets.
We now have received a total of $4 billion in credit lines, which we will use to pay off short-term commercial debt and maintain liquidity.
Our Board of Directors elected a new member to the Board - William Powers, Jr., the dean of The University of Texas School of Law in Austin, Texas.
-	The Board also established a Special Committee, to be chaired by Dean Powers, that will conduct an in-depth review of the transactions between Enron and entities connected to related parties.
The committee is authorized to take any actions it deems appropriate.
The Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) opened up a formal investigation into related party transactions that have been the subject of media reports and the subject of the SEC's formal inquiry.
As I've said before, we welcome this and look forward to working with the SEC to put this matter behind us.
Moody's lowered our credit rating one level, from Baa1 to Baa2.
Standard & Poor's (S&P) lowered our credit rating one level, from BBB+ to BBB.
Fitch lowered our rating from BBB+ to BBB-.
All agency ratings are investment grade.
Even with what's happening with our company, we have kept running our business as usual, and here's few examples to show you that we are, indeed, doing just that:  	EnronOnline did 5,866 transactions with 302 counterparties on Friday.
Transaction counts remain higher than average.
EES signed a three-year fixed price agreement with Home Depot to supply power to 115 of its stores in California and 68 stores across Texas.
EES also has exclusive rights to develop energy management proposals for all Home Depot facilities west of the Mississippi.
EES also signed a three-year energy management agreement with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's four New York City facilities.
Serious issues have been raised in the media and investment community that have put our credibility and reputation as a company in question.
We're taking an introspective look at our business dealings, our core values and our organization as a whole.
We're doing everything we can to deal with the issues that are affecting our company.
And that's where you come in.
Look around you.
Look at the excellence that you and your team represents.
That's the reason we hired you - you're the best.
Now, more than ever, work for Enron and especially for each other.
Thank you for your continuing support of our company and each other.
Subject: Adv: Reduce outside counsel fees, increase in-house expertise


Re:  Dealing with today's uncertain business climate:  How using LRSolutions will help your legal department reduce outside counsel fees, increase legal knowledge and expertise in-house and save countless hours of time for busy in-house attorneys  As you are well aware, legal research and related knowledge activities and products are traditionally not a great source of efficiency and expertise.
In-house counsel are frequently asked to provide their companies legal advice in a vast array of legal areas.
With corporate downsizing, understaffed legal departments are usually not equipped to deal with the many complex and varied legal issues that are presented on a daily basis.
Time is precious, as well, and in-house attorneys consistently find themselves hard pressed to attack these difficult legal problems with the degree of care required for thorough research and analysis.
Traditionally, corporate counsel respond by utilizing outside law firms for many research and writing projects that could have been done internally if only they possessed the knowledge, resources, and time.
Too often, these practices involve an inordinate amount of "reinventing the wheel", leading to inefficiency and burdensome expense.
Outside counsel bill at exorbitant hourly rates while utilizing inexperienced, junior associates.
The subsequent learning curve only adds to the enormous costs for corporate counsel.
Because associates lack knowledge in the fields that they research, the total number of hours that they spend tend to be excessive.
With soaring associate rates, the ultimate price for corporate counsel often reaches the upper stratosphere.
At the same time, associates are likely to miss subtle nuances in the law that can be damaging to the client.
In today's economy, it is absolutely essential for companies to reduce outside legal costs while retaining qu!

In addition to saving costs, companies must be able to effectively manage risk in a proactive fashion, in order to avoid potential disaster.

LRSolutions' attorneys truly enjoy doing research, and analyzing complex legal issues.

Hi everybody,   Well, somethings didn't turn out as quite as  planned.
In case you didn't hear, our first offer on our house fell  through.
Fortunately, we already have another offer and the new closing  date is November 26.
All indications are that this one will go through so  here's the timeline...  We're leaving Houston on December 3.
We'll be  in our new house in Florida sometime between Dec 7 - 15th.
That gives us  just enough time to get settled in before the new semester starts on  January 7.
We've set up a hotmail account so we don't miss any  emails until our new Florida DSL account is ready to go.
You can start  using it immediately: scubadoobydoo_FL@hotmail.com     (Our panacea account will be valid through the end of  November.)
You can always use our website to get the active email  address.
Go to www.scubadoobydoo.com  and click on  "Contact Us".
We'll give everybody our change of address info as  soon as both home sales are officially done.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Subject: Napoleonville land sale


Ana,   Per our conversation earlier today:  Our survey shows the tracts we are selling consist of 330.12 acres.
For the purpose of the DASH, we need to have a precise book value for those 330.12 acres, so I need to confirm with you one final time the book value for that land.
Also, the draft agreement for the land sale stipulates that all ad valorem taxes bearing against the property due and payable through 2000 have been paid.
Before we sign the agreement, we need confirmation from you that this is the case.
Since we are trying to close this deal tomorrow (11/20), I would appreciate a quick response.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Subject: Sale of Napoleonville Land


Louise,  Tomorrow, I am flying to Buffalo, NY for Thanksgiving with my father.
As such, for the potential sale of the Napoleonville Land, Julie Gomez will sign on my behalf for LRCI Inc. after both appropriate commercial, accounting and legal parameters have been met.
The status is as follows:  Texas Brine has been informed that another counterparty has presented a premium bid of $ 3 MM and has the opportunity to counter.
Texas Brine was the first counterparty to try to acquire the land at $2.35 MM.
Reliant has slowed the transaction close due to their legal changes to the "Act of Sale" document.
As such, Gerald Nemec (my legal) is reviewing the document in conjuction with our Louisiana counsel as well as other relevant internal legal groups (i.e.
litigation and environmental).
I am confident that the land will get sold and was hoping to close the transaction prior to my leaving.
However, this bidding "war" has the potential for ENA to extract an even higher auction price.
The approximate book value of the land is $1.4 MM.
I can be reached via Blackberry or cell (713-302-4187).
Eva Rainer, Manager, is also an appropriate person to contact for any questions.
