Subject: Licenses, services and NetCo Deal

Want to clarify if the Estate has the right to do a services deal with a 3r= d party with our copy of the licenses after the NetCo deal is done.
=20 =20 Here is the issue (as per an old draft of the Assignment and License Agreem= ent).
=20 In the current deal, Enron assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to NetCo a= ll of the rights, title and interest in and to the software and intellectua= l property rights.
In other words, NetCo will be the owner of the Enron de= veloped applications or software including EOL, TAGG, ERMS, DCAF, Sitara, U= nify, EnPower, etc.
Enron or the estate gets back a worldwide, perpetual, = irrevocable, nonexclusive, fully paid-up, royalty free license of all of th= em for any purpose.
I am not sure why the original deal was done this way = as opposed to Enron continuing to own all the software and just granting a = perpetual, royalty free license to all the applications to NetCo, but I rea= lize we are in the 11th hour.
=20 What it also says is that Enron shall not have the right to grant any subli= cense to any third party for use within the field of "wholesale trading of = natural gas and electricity within North America."
It also says that NetCo=  can't, as long as Enron owns 20% of NetCo, assign or license the software = to any third party or use the software for any of the prohibited commoditie= s. =20 Is trading the act of buying and selling of the commodities?
Once a NetCo = deal is completed, we want to have NetCo and the estate agree that trading = is buying and selling, not service or fulfillment.
I would like the Estate=  to maintain the right and ability to sub-license all the applications asso= ciated with logistics and settlement (not EOL or those systems associated w= ith buying and selling and order capture) to a third party that would have = the opportunity to build a mid and back office processing and service busin= ess around those sub-licenses in all commodities, including gas and power i= n North America.
The Estate may even outsource to this 3rd party and take = back a service agreement from this 3rd party as well as some of the future = profit it generates from this service company.
This would allow the estate=  to get value for the applications and associated employees on a service de= al.
NetCo should not be concerned about fulfillment as being defined as co= mpetition.
Also, the estate is keeping CommodityLogic and it is much more = valuable as a tool within a complete services entity.
=20 I have not heard whether the final purchase and sale agreement has a non-co= mpete or not.
If there is not one, then doing the above should be no issue.
=20 Need an answer quick on if we need to change anything or if you think that = we have this right as written or if you think NetCo has an issue.
=20 Also, I assume that we can use our licenses within the estate and its affil= iates and subs any way we want in all commodities.
=20 Thanks.=20

Subject: Murray O'Neil's expenses

George -  This note is to confirm that Murray O'Neil's latest expense report (roughly $2,000) was for valid,  POST-petition business.
He travels from Portland where he is based, to Houston, as needed, to work on Power settlements and volume management for EES, and these expenses are for airfare, hotel and meals for the week prior to the Christmas holiday.
Per our discussion, I assume that these were held up by the system due to the $5,000 limitation, for further review.
Please have a member of your team expedite the review of this expense report, so that it can be released today, if possible.
I assume that they will confirm to us that the report has been released so that Murray will no longer be behind in his expense reimbursements, since he will be traveling to Houston again (and therefore incurring expenses) on Monday.
I understand that Enron is not issuing cash advances, but that once the initial backlog of expense processing is done, that reimbursement will occur much more quickly, now that we are in the post-petition environment.
Thanks so much,

Subject: Infrastructure platform

Following is a very basic list of contracts we are currently expecting to perform to/serve as an ongoing concern in the estate.
This is not nearly the detail you need, but it's a start:   Gas Retail Gas Book (900+ contracts behind 18 LDC's) Enovate/Peoples Contracts FPL Gas Agreements Midland Cogen  Keyspan (Lilco) Dominion Oklahoma City of Tallahassee Oxy Miscellaneous wholesale contracts TBD  Power  West Retail Book (140+ Contracts, All-Requirements, avg.
1000MW load) West Whlse Book (32 Contract groups identified, @ 1000MW load too) Nepool Retail East Wholesale(Currently 19 contracts) Miscellaneous wholesale contracts not yet identified   Other There will be numerous other "physical" assets that will be a part of this including: generation development sites Bridgeline/LRC Napoleonville Storage Michigan Asset Mgmt.
Sithe contracts East Coast Power contracts LNG contracts etc.
Sally has a hard-copy with a little more detail.
Several of us will be getting together either tomorrow or Sunday to put together as much of the infrastructure together as possible.
We're going to need at least a draft of the backoffice people and boxes.
We'd also like you to be a part of it if possible.
We'll send out an email/voicemail to let everyone know when/where.
Subject: Enron Nordic

I have heard through several sources that AEP has purchased the Enron Nordic team in Oslo.
This creates several issues that we must address:  Did AEP purchase any systems and/or contracts?
Are these employees still located in our office and if so are they assuming the building lease and associated expenses?
Do they still have access to our systems?
Who, if anyone, was not included in the AEP purchase?
Many of the deals were executed under ECTRIC - Nordic Branch; is this treated similar to ECTRIC?
Since ECTRIC still has not declared bankruptcy, we need to evaluate these portfolios immediately.
We probably do not have Commercial leadership in Oslo; therefore, we need to develop an action plan for that office.
I believe that there were only Power and Weather transactions managed by Thor Lien in the Oslo office.
If you have any questions or additional information for me, call at Ext.

Subject: questions that we are receiving

Dear Sally & Beth,  We are already getting questions from different groups on how things will work in the new company (books, ERV, DPR).
They are all assuming that we are going with the new company.
I'm telling each of these groups that we are staying with the estate and as such, really don't know the answer to these qu's and are directing them to ask Jeff/Stacey.
Please let me know if either of you hear any info that would be of help.
Thanks

Hi Sally,  Wish you & your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!
Hope everything is going well for you & you have been able to get sometime with your family during the holiday season.
I hate to bother you with this request because I realize you must be very busy; I was wondering if you had a chance to forward my resume to Ginger Gamble (at Reliant) and Carol Scherer (at Duke Energy).
The job market is really terrible right now and your recommendation will mean a lot for me.
Pl.
do let know if you would like me to resend my resume to you.

Subject: IT Plans for Estate

Greg,  Just as a follow up to our conversation, I have serious concerns about the estate's ability to service IT requests.
The number of people that remain in the estate, that understand the gas and power systems, is limited (and we're receiving resignations now).
With this in mind, I would like to have the ability to outsource the IT department (applications, infrastructure) and potentially the back office staff to a consulting company (potentially Accenture or CGEY).
We would need to move the estate employees into this company and incentivize them to stay.
The consulting company could then supplement the staff and the Enron estate employees could now have a career path at the consulting company.
To make this deal attractive, the consulting company would like to have the ability to create a services company and offer IT and fulfillment and processing services to other companies.
By the way, this could be done for other commodities outside gas and power.
The deal would have to include royalty payments to the estate for each additional services agreement.
The intent is to make the services company into a thriving business.
We would also want to sell Commodity Logic (IP included) to round out the services offering.
We could consider selling the IP to our EGM and EIM systems as well.
All in all, the intent is to bring value to the estate and support the estate while the businesses wind down or start up.
We must make sure that the NETCO agreement allows the estate to license the gas and power software in some capacity and continue to develop the applications.
As an aside, the estate cannot perform on the Bridgeline or AEP deals.
There are not enough resources that fully understand the system, therefore, we cannot maintain a fully operational production quality system.
These deals must either be moved to NETCO or we need to find another alternative (the above referenced services company or selling the software to AEP and Bridgeline).
I know this is long winded, but I needed to get these points down on paper.
I am on vacation next week, but can be reached on my cell phone at 713-240-0919 or at my house in Kiawah at 843-768-6651.
I'll also have my Blackberry but reception is poor on the island!

Subject: Cash Forecast

Let me know if you would like to sit down this morning and go over it.

Subject: ENW Estate Cash Forecast

Greg (Adams), Attached is our cash forecast.
There are several important points to keep in mind with this forecast: 1.
This is our best guess at this point.
As other business units clarify their business plans, it will affect our activity.
Once their plans are set and communicated to us, we can better forecast our numbers.
2.
This forecast represents the estate only.
(Since that is what we discussed in the meeting on Monday)  We have made no attempt to forecast NETCo since that has already been done and is seperate.
3.Infrastructures numbers are somewhat soft due to the Outlook problems experienced yesterday.
As they firm up or we get additional information, we can update numbers.
4.
We have not included any future severance or retainage payments as we discussed.
5.
I have included a tab which attempts to segregate costs by business unit.
Again, this is soft and will be better defined as the business units define their plans.
6.
I will be out of the office after today for a while.
If you have questions after today, contact Mike Galvan (x3-5439) or Kevin May (x5-2508) 7.
I have not put this file on the O: drive since it is being emailed.
Let me know if I need to.

Subject: 19 Month Cash Budget - Due December 18th

Following up on today's meetings, it is critical that we have your revised 19-month Cash Budget as early in the day on Tuesday, December 18th as possible.
(This format file has been revised to correct some formulas on the first page.)
Revised/Detailed 19 Month Cash Budget - Due December 18th ASAP As with the version you submitted earlier this week, revenues, expenses and other items need to be presented on a "cash basis".
WE NEED A SUBMISSION FOR EACH BUSINESS UNIT EVEN IF THERE IS NO PLANNED CASH MOVEMENT WITH CORP. With the exception of payroll, benefits and related items, there should be no allocations in your expense figures.
Networks is working on an overall budget for the organization, and Corporate will budget for rent and insurance expenses (allocations back to the business units will be done at a later date).
If you have not done so already, please confirm with Corporate HR your current payroll and headcount levels and make any adjustments from that level going forward.
For those business units that have some entities in bankruptcy as of 12/12/01, we will need one file that consolidates all those entities in bankruptcy, and one file that consolidates those that are not.
If as part of the initial submission you had broken out your business units into different segments, please do so for this plan as well.
Where it is requested or noted (*) please provide detailed back-up information on the appropriate sheets.
Please do not add any rows or columns to the first sheet labeled "format" or "O&M_Detail".
We are hopeful that most of the additional information requested is readily available.
If you have any questions please call myself (3-3887) or Mike Deville (5-7852)

Subject: 19 Month Forecast Review

Please see the attached file for your respective area (by your last name) and make sure you're comfortable with your latest forecast numbers (excluding salaries).
I have added a Capex section for any groups that will plan on spending capital dollars.
Please be as detailed as possible.
Assume forecast dollars are only reflective of the estate.
For those ENW groups likely to have resources moving to NETCo, please include those forecast dollars in the "NETCo" tab.
E.g., If we need a total picture of Jenny's spend, we'll add the "Rub" tab (estate) with the "NETCo" tab Jenny submits.
Jenny/Beth P., A license / maintenance renewal schedule was obtained from GSS.
We put together a summary tab called "Lic-Main Breakout".
These dollars are reflected in your respective forecasts.
Please review for completeness and ensure we are not double counting any dollars already included by your folks.
Please confirm your respective numbers and reflect any changes you know of by end of day today.
Thanks,
Subject: Status of monday's payment proposal runs

Andrew, etal    I wanted to provide an update on what people should expect on monday in respect to payment proposals.
We initiated test files on Thursday & Friday, to validate the distribution list and allow the BU Approvers & Delegates to get a feel for the data  We experienced some email address issues that have been corrected.
There are some additional names that were provided late Friday that will be added on Monday.
If your name was added by Andrew on Friday, you will not receive the files until Tuesday.
Expect data by Company type.
Non-dip companies - Reports will include all unpaid open items that have not been blocked for payment.
You should be marking the items that you DO NOT WANT to pay in the file & forwarding it to George Wasaff.
We will only release the items authorized by the BU & the cash committee.
Dip Companies - We will not be running a proposal for the DIP companies on Monday.
We are still working with the BU's to ensure that they have properly blocked the pre-petition open items posted to the commodity vendors before sending the proposals for approval.
We expect to finalize this on Monday so we can start the process on Tuesday.
It is imperative that this activity be completed before initiating this daily process.
When we run these on Tuesday, I would not really expect that many items.
We have not begun to process the post-petiton non-trade invoices.
We have been working to establish a process for segregating these invoices as well and have blocked posting of December activity until everyone was ready.
We expect to open up December on Monday.
I feel very confident that we will be ready to initiate this process for the Dip Companies on Tuesday.
If you have any questions or concerns, please give me a call at 5-5301 or drop me email.
Thanks

Subject: AEP_HPL Transition Issues

Attached is an updated transitions list.
Please review and send any changes so I can update.
I will update again Thursday and will include a column for status.
We are in the process of drafting procedures which will have to become a formal protocol for AEP.
These are:  Request for New/maintenance of counterparties.
Once Web page is developed, procedures will be completed.
Request for new portfolios (books) after close.
Drafting procedures.
Request for new employee security.
Request to change curve mapping in ERMS/CPS.
Drafting procedures.
Also, it appears the IT service agreement may have to be amended to cover the  Web pages used to push operational data to customers (If AEP wants to continue the service) and the Tariff filing system we just put into production.
Also, we will need to resolve how we handle counterparties that Enron credit has request we suspend trading when AEP wants to continue trading.
We have had discussions with AEP about all of these issues and procedures.
Subject: HPLC Imbalance File

As part of the HPL transition, we are reviewing imbalances on shipper contracts.
Attached below is the list and where we stand on reconcilations.
About 50% are reconciled, meaning that the counterparty agrees with our number.
Most we are waiting on information from the counterparty.
The big items are the imbalances with Duke Energy, Gulf Energy, and Tejas.
Rita and I have people working with these counterparties to get good information.

Subject: Forecast for 2001

Sally, One of the things that Greg Piper has asked me to do is to take a look at the rest of the year and get each of the VP's to assess their margins and EBIT for the remainder of 2001.
For Energy Operations, that is usually very easy since there has been no revenues, and all of the costs are allocated out, so there should be zero EBIT if nothing changed.
Given your present direction, however, you may be generating some margin in 2001.
Do you have a feel for an amount I can put into our analysis and will 100% of your costs continue to be billed out or will some be applied to this new activity?
I am hoping to put something together next week, so if you or a designate could let me know in a few days I would appreciate it.

Subject: Additional New Works; 5/2/01 Floor Meeting, 37th Floor

In order to maximize the potential synergies between the various mid- and back- office functions, to decrease replication errors, and to increase communication standards; are there any plans of creating a platform or reference center to bridge the differences between the systems, processes, and terminology of the various departments.
Perhaps a common resource center offering access to on-line system manuals and business unit overviews (which currently exist only in paper form or in some cases within the actual system database).
The reason: With Enron's size and transaction volume, many of the functions and the data managed by various groups within Enron (i.e.
credit, risk, settlements, volume management, global contracts, global counterparties, global rates, and the commercial systems) are fragmented.
Having participated in various process reviews and trouble-shooting/clean-up projects there seems to be a large disconnect between groups operating in various systems.
These disconnects; rather they be lack of information or understanding of how data flows between systems, how the data managed within each system impacts other upstream or downstream systems, or how the business processes within one group/system impacts the overall functionality of other groups, create large cracks producing an opportunity for mismanaged data, incomplete business reports, and increased risk to Enron.
The ideal objective; increase communication standards through a better understanding of system data functions/requirements and business processes, decrease system downtime and replication errors through a better understanding of the data relationships between systems, maximize department-to-department synergies (left hand knows what the right hand is doing), eliminate repetition, and further reduce potential risks to Enron due to information/business process oversight.
