Subject: ENA Legal Expenditures

In order to provide better oversight and control of ENA legal expenditures  on large transactions, please continue to follow the procedures set forth  below for transactions where outside legal fees and expenses are expected to  exceed $25,000.00.
The purpose of these procedures is to (i) improve  communication with counsel (inside and outside) on issues, fees and services  and (ii) send price signals on legal costs (with respect to specific  transactions) on a timely basis to the business units.
Every effort should  be made to continue to provide high quality legal work that has become  standard at ENA.
1.
A written estimate of proposed fees and expenses and a written  description of the services shall be provided by our outside counsel.
The  responsible business unit and the General Counsel shall review and approve  such written estimate before our outside counsel is directed to provide  substantial professional services.
2.
Our outside counsel shall be instructed to promptly submit a revised  written estimate if such outside counsel determines that legal fees and  expenses for such transaction will exceed the previous written estimate by  $25,000.00.
Such revised written estimate shall be reviewed and approved by  the responsible business unit and the General Counsel or his/her designee  before our outside counsel is directed to provide substantial additional  professional services.
3.
In order to accurately track such expenses so that the expenses can be  properly allocated to the various business units, a work order number should  be obtained for each transaction.
Thank you for your cooperation.
If you have any questions or any other  suggestions for controlling expenses, please call me at extension 36544.

Subject: 2001 Allocations

Dave:  I have attached the "time allocations" (which are used for inside costs only)  by attorney to the various business groups.
We can derive the percentage of  total legal department inside costs from this chart, in order to calculate  the capacity charge, for ENA and the other wholesale groups and ENW.
We had  used this chart to bill back to the various business units within ENA, but we  will stop doing that now per our conversation.
Are you in agreement?

Subject: Appointments of Agents and Attorneys in Fact

I would like to do fewer resolutions authorizing non-vps to sign contracts,  and when we need such authorizations, let's make sure the resolutions are  appropriately limited.
My thoughts are as follows:  1.
We have a lot of vps that can sign contracts.
2.
It is generally ok to have confirmations signed by certain carefully  selected directors since we are confirming a trade that already took place  and there is master agreement already signed.
3.
There are certain very routine agreements like pipeline right-of-way  agreements that are ok for carefully selected directors to sign.
4.
Confidentiality agreements should be signed by a vp.
5.
Any authorization for a director to sign should expire within not more  than one year and revoke all prior authorizations.
Please give me your comments.

Dave and John:  I am rethinking the legal reports.

Subject: Enron Wholesale Markets Quarterly Legal Review

The volume and complexity of our legal work has increased dramatically over  the past few years.
I think this environment requires additional time to be  devoted to legal planning and review in order to provide the best possible  service to our clients.
Within the next month, I have asked Janette to  schedule a Quarterly Legal Review for each group listed on our new  organizational chart .
I  would envision that we would focus on the  following:    review of the current monthly legal report and significant legal issues review of the top ten legal risks form contracts and other documentation projects legal budget legal resources, inside and outside performance metrics  In addition, I am proposing that any energy trading contract for a term  longer than one year by initialled by an AGC or member of the OGC.
Let me  know what you think about that.

It is anticipated that we will continue to  adjust the membership of both groups as the businesses continue to change.
I  plan to address the policy committee in February.
Subject: LNG Contract Questions

In reviewing the contracts, so far I have the following questions:  1.
Have Oman LNG and ADgas taken the risk of non-performance by DPC and  indirectly MSEB without any credit support?
The only security is the equity  in DPC?
Are such contracts typically secured or done with a buyer with deep  pockets?
How much value was put into DPC by the shareholders?
2.
Are there local public policy issues that could be addressed by local  courts with respect to the LNG contracts?
Fraud?
Bribery?
Are there any  local law issues with respect to performance or interpretation of the  contracts?
Isn't take-or-pay meaningless without credit support?
3.
What are the arguments for DPC to terminate the contracts?
Only where  the PPA is terminated?
Payments?
4.    Who negotiated the contracts?
Were there requests for credit support?
From Enron?
Did Enron ever promise to indirectly "backstop" the contracts by  its investment in Dabhol?
5.
What was the discussion regarding the "reduction in operational  capability" language in the contracts?
What was the language meant to  cover?
Do we need our counterparty's approval to investigate other markets?
6.
Is there any argument that DPC has already breached the contracts?
Could our counterparties issue a press release claiming damages over the  entire term of the contract?
Confidentiality and press releases?
7.
What is the law on piercing the corporate veil for an Indian company  like DPC?
Could this issue be considered separate from the contract and be  litigated in India or Oman and thus outside the arbitration?
8.
What is the list of all documents that could impact on whether or not  Enron has any exposure under the LNG contracts?
9.
Are there instances where the Dabhol project could fail and the LNG  contracts would not novate to MSEB?
Why does it matter if the LNG contract  obligations novate to MSEB if DPC has no money?
10.
Other potential claims against Enron if the LNG contracts are  terminated or not performed?
Subject: follow up from our meeting 11/05/99

Subject: Facilitator

Dad:  The name I have is Dr. Vinberg.
He is a therapist in Houston and is in his  80s.
I talked to him today and I thought he seemed good.
He recommended  that we meet for two hours on one day and schedule some time the next day if  it is productive.
His number is 713-622-1441.
He charges $150 per hour and  I will pick that up as you would be incurring expenses to come to Houston.
Give him a call and see if he is acceptable to you.
If he is, I will propose  dates and we can see if they work for everyone.

We are pleased to announce organizational changes to the Enron South America  legal department in response to the recent reorganization and realignment of  the principal Enron Wholesale Services business units operating in the  region, Enron Americas and Enron Global Assets.

Subject: Unanimous Consent of Directors

It has become customary to prepare Unanimous Consents of Directors for many  transactions even if such actions are not required by the relevant By-laws  and/or Certificate of Incorporation.
Please consider carefully whether  Unanimous Consents of Directors are necessary or appropriate in a particular  transaction, i.e., the transaction is a significant transaction or evidence  of authority is required for a legal opinion.
When in doubt, please review  the By-laws and Certificate of Incorporation of the relevant entity and  discuss the matter with a member of the Office of the General Counsel.
Thank you.

Subject: University of California System Litigation

The 9th Circuit of the U.S. Ct. of Appeals granted EES' request to stay an  injunction granted by the District Court in the UCS litigation, which would  have required EES to continue to directly serve UCS.
The stay allows EES to  return the customer UCS to PG&E and SCE for utility service and thereby save  the future accrual of an additional $144 million of negative CTC  receivables.
In approximately two months, the 9th Circuit will conduct a  further review of the stay, at which point the litigation will return to the  District Court for discovery and eventually trial.
Subject: Jeff Hodge

Greetings:  John, I would like to promote Hodge to VP this time around.
