Subject: Daily Summary of Risk Data Body: Summary Risk Data as of 10/26/2001 Active Financial Deals 52 Active Physical Deals 35 P&L Daily ($thousands) 78.0 VaR ($thousands) 450.8 ETS Margin Account Deals 0 Physical deals modelled in the Caminus Zainet system are deals which have some form of price risk, (i.e. Index to index deals, and anticipated fuel sales) This does not include standard transport or storage agreements. P&L Daily: Daily change in the mark-to-market (MTM) valuation of all deals being tracked in the Caminus Zainet system. This includes the origination and changes in value for both the physical and financial sides of hedges, along with any speculative trades and floating unhedged phsycal positions. VaR is "Value at Risk": Enron Corp policy defines this as the maximum expected one day loss on the portfolio given a 95% statistical confidence interval. This number is currently calculated on the Caminus system using a variance covariance metholodogy, rather than a Monte Carlo simulation per the Enron Corp policy.

More detailed reports are available from the Caminus Zainet risk management system. Please call Vince Strohmeyer at 713.853.6701 with any questions you may have.

Subject: Amoco FT contracts using alt pts Body: Attached are the Amoco FT contracts that have used alternate points from October,. 2000 through September, 2001. Let me know if you need anything else.
Subject: Rates Changes Body: Keep in mind that when you do amendments to move primary points around, the rate must be changed in CBS for the corresponding new paths. Otherwise, CBS reflects max rates. It would also be helpful when a new contract is executed that the rate be put in CBS; otherwise, again CBS reflects max rates. It is important to get these rates in CBS as the forecasting model pulls all rate information from CBS. If CBS reflects max rates the revenues will be grossly over estimated. Thanks for your help!
Subject: coal follow-up Body: Vijay, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I've been traveling again= . =20 I also just found this in my in-box as returned as un-delivered (I put only= =20 two v(s) instead of three. I hope your other discussions went well that= =20 day. =20 Below are a few comments that i believe you addressed and wanted some=20 additional feedback from our coal activities and changes in the coal=20 industry. I wanted to get this out to you quickly so please forgive this= =20 lack of formality or writing creativity. Enron activity (EOL) Enron's online activity has been very successful especially as compared wit= h=20 our early estimations of acceptance by the industry. I believe that there = is=20 only one other active coal trading system (Dynegy direct) that simply isn't= =20 posting prices as a bulletin board and waiting for a response with telephon= e=20 follow-up. I also believe that we have done a very significant amount of o= r=20 maybe all the coal transactions on Dynegy direct to date. We do a lot of o= ur=20 business online and the numbers YTD are that approx. 45% of our trades are= =20 executed online. That number has been higher, as much as 90% for certain= =20 months or when we are trying something new or moving a particular product. = =20 Also, as Bid/Ask spreads tighten, which we would expect, that bodes well fo= r=20 EOL and our (and the markets) ability to transact even more quickly. =20 Transactions that took days to put together now can be done in 1 second. = =20 Between the speed and the cost savings of having a fully integrated system,= =20 we believe that our transaction numbers and percentages of online business= =20 will significantly increase. Changes in the industry We discussed changes that we believe are coming in the industry. We see=20 several things on the horizon. We expect the acceptance of the online=20 transactions to further increase; especially with the volatile price=20 movements what we have seen in the last 6 months. We are currently=20 developing several new products for EOL that I believe will become very=20 popular and will create new markets in coal and related sectors. I don't= =20 want to discuss them right now but we are close to releasing them and I thi= nk=20 they will raise some eyebrows. The development of the Global Coal exchan= ge=20 will also help. I frankly don=01,t believe it will be very successful beca= use=20 of several things but primarily because of the difficulty in closing the=20 transaction. One thing has been very firmly demonstrated. Every time a new= =20 big system has been introduced EOL volumes go up. It simply accelerates th= e=20 acceptance of online business and it gets down to the best prices and=20 liquidity to see who will ultimately win the day. Another big change in th= e=20 industry is the growing acceptance of the OTC market. The significant pric= e=20 changes that have occurred have "forced" many traditional players to the OT= C=20 market. This also includes forcing them to agree to standard OTC terms and= =20 conditions and getting them comfortable with the market. This is very good= =20 for Enron especially when you consider that we are the major player on the= =20 OTC market. We don't release specific percentages of what we are doing on= =20 the OTC. Also having more natural and traditional players signing these=20 types of standard agreements helps us on the EOL side because standard=20 contracts are important for developing a more liquid commodity market. Enron coal volumes A couple of numbers that we are willing to release. Year to date, we have= =20 made markets and transacted approx. 30 million tons in the forward market. = =20 On the physical side of our transactions, about 25% go physical vs.=20 financial. Last year Enron was the largest US market maker (not producer)= =20 with 142 million tons transacted. Internationally we moved approx. 47=20 million tons and overall the total was slightly less than 190 million tons.= =20 We have high expectations for 2001. I believe that we should be up approx= =20 65% and we are on track with that. I think the industry would be surprise= d=20 that we did almost 2,800 transactions in 2000. This doesn=01,t include an= y of=20 our shipping business. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions. Mike

Subject: Don't Mess with Texas. Body: One Texas Soldier A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune. "One Texas soldier is better than ten Taliban". The Taliban commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the dune whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice once again calls out "One Texan is better than one hundred Taliban". Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The Texan voice calls out again "One Texan is better than one thousand Taliban". The enraged Taliban commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the dune. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought.... Then silence. Eventually one badly wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men...... its a trap. There's two of them". Don't Mess With Texas
Subject: BDay Body: Chip: Thanks for the call yesterday. You are now as old as I am, but I am not sure if you are as mature as I am. Happy Birthday, have a great day. Brad
Subject: regions file Body: Thomas is setting up a new NGP&L file and would like us to save a copy of each P&L to Netco\2002\0102\region#0102. Once you decide how you are going to break them up, one file for each book or combine them together, can you save them out there so he can start linking them. I think that for the physical regions it may be easier to keep each book separate because people could be moving around a lot. KK

Subject: PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS IN THE ENRON SAVINGS PLAN Body: Due to current business circumstances, on November 28, 2001, Enron's Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the Enron Corp. Savings Plan. The amendment includes the following changes, which became effective on November 29: ? Savings Plan contributions that are deducted from your November 30 paycheck will be matched by Enron in cash rather than Enron stock. The cash match will be placed into the Fidelity Freedom 2000 fund, the default fund for the Plan. ? After November 30, Enron will no longer match your savings plan contributions. As an exception, the company will continue the union matching contributions to the Plan. ? The Savings Plan has always permitted employees to place their contributions in Enron stock or one or more alternative investment options. Effective immediately, diversification within the Plan will ALSO be allowed, regardless of your age, from COMPANY contribution accounts. This removes the restriction for all employees under the age of 50 to diversify the company contributions held in their account. These accounts include all prior company contributions, QNEC, and company match accounts. To move funds: On the Web, choose "Savings Plan--Restricted Employer Acct Transfer/Reallocation" from the drop down menu.
Subject: Enron Center South Technology Watch Body: Welcome to Enron Center South. As you have probably already noticed, things look a little different here. We wanted to orientate you to your new environment and inform you about the future technology coming on-line in the coming weeks. Occupancy Guidebook To Enron Center South You will find this handy guide on your desk; it contains information concerning the enhanced printer environment, the new easy access keyboards and telephony procedures. NEC Monitors The NEC monitors have an internal anti-glare screen to help reduce eye strain and eliminate the need to install an additional screen cover. Additionally, an integrated speaker has been installed on one monitor for each desk. Turret Users An "Alliance MX turret quick reference guide" has been placed on your desk; this includes important information about the new features such as "Caller ID" and "Voicemail Indication". Increased Information Access There are many NEC 50" Plasma screens installed on the 5th and 6th floors. While many of these will be displaying information designed for the specific unit, others will be displaying various television channels. The audio to these television channels can be accessed via any of your telephony equipment. Here's how: Ten audio channels have been set up for access from your either your Avaya telephone, Stentophon, or IPC Turret. The channels have been defined on Page 15 of your Turret. To access the audio from either your Avaya or Stentophon, simply dial the extensions shown in the table below: Channel Avaya Stentophon Weather Channel 12401 801 CNN Headlines News 12402 802 CNN Financial News 12403 803 CNBC 12404 804 MSNBC 12405 805 Bloomberg 12406 806 Financial News Network 12407 807 CNN 12408 808 Fox Sports 12409 809 ESPN1 12410 810 Wireless Telephony You may notice the cellular phone coverage is not consistent across the floor, and some areas have virtually no coverage at all. We are implementing a multi-network "in-building" system to provide consistent high quality service for the campus, keeping you in touch while you are on the move. Wireless LAN The infrastructure to support Wireless LAN technology is in place and is being tested. We will be implementing multi level encryption and security to keep our intellectual property safe from eavesdroppers or hackers. Amtel Replacement As a move to provide a more flexible "Plug n Play" environment and to help with the reduced desk footprint, we have replaced the Amtel message boxes with Microsoft Exchange Instant Messaging. The Global Messaging Team is testing additional software products to provide some of the features not available with Exchange Instant Messaging; these include one-touch response keys, external LED display, and printing. Updates will be provided as they become available. Keeping an Open forum We will keep you informed of the changes and developments as the migration to the building continues, please feel free to respond with any comments, queries or suggestions to mailto:Enron.Center.South.Technology@enron.com

Subject: Power PortCalc STAGE Release 11/14/2001 Version 4.2.2s1 Body: Dear All, Please test the Stage Release of PortCalc version 4.2.2s1 and let us know of the results. The executable is /stage/egs-home/ermt/bin/pwrcalc_slr New Features: Version 4.2.2s1 Changes Affecting All: Index Option : 1) When the delivery point is in the same region as the index, and it does not have a basis associated with it, the deal is evaluated as a Forward Start deal type per Research's specification and user approval of Matthew Motley. 2) When the delivery point is in the same region as the index, but with a basis, the deal is evaluated as a Basis Option as the scenario where the delivery point is in a different region from the index. This is a change from last release. Changes Affecting East: For East and all its mirrored portfolios, there will be no blending of volatilities. Monthly Options will use the Monthly Volatility, and Daily Options with Daily Volatility. The same is applied for Volatility Smile. Before that, we applied different rules to selective option deal types. Swaption Volatility Curve - PortCalc can now evaluate Swaption based on its own Swaption Volatility Curve instead of the one entered per deal. This feature can be selected on the PortCalc window. If Curve Volatility is used, it would be for ALL Swaption deals in that Post ID. Changes Affecting EES: RETAILEAST portfolio evaluation is mirrored the same as EAST. Changes Affecting Renewable: Delivery Point - PortCalc will now use the Delivery Point as the Delivery Point description instead of the Vintage Year, which Emission does. Changes Affecting Australia: End of month will no longer be treated as a business day. Changes Affecting Power Risk IT: Term Strip Tables Consolidation - combine all three term strip tables into one for ease of handling and potentially faster performance in the future. Please do not hesitate to ask if there is any questions. Thanks, Norman. x36976.

Subject: Message from Ken Lay Body: Earlier today, I stepped down as Enron's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. This decision was reached in cooperation with Enron's Board and the Creditor Committee and is effective immediately. To emerge from bankruptcy, Enron needs a CEO who can focus 100 percent of his or her efforts on rebuilding the company. Unfortunately, with multiple inquiries and investigations that require my immediate attention, at this time I am unable to fully concentrate on what is most important to Enron's stakeholders - preserving value for our creditors and our dedicated employees. The Creditor Committee has begun a search for a restructuring specialist to serve as interim CEO to help the company emerge from bankruptcy. This individual will join Enron's remaining management team to direct the company's ongoing operations. I truly believe Enron can and will survive. I will remain a Director of the Board to help see that it does. During my time at Enron, I have witnessed tremendous change and opportunity. I have seen people rigorously grow and maintain one of the world's most efficient and safest gas pipeline networks; I have seen people dedicate themselves to a cause that became a passion - the opening of energy markets; I have observed smart people come together as a team to build creative solutions like EnronOnline; and I have watched people tirelessly give of themselves to help their fellow employees and those in the community. Regardless of what has happened, I am proud of so much of what we were able to accomplish here. Thank you for your contributions to the company and for the inspiration you have been to me over the years. Ken Lay

On May 11 the South Coast Air Quality Management District Board removed power generators, as defined under the program, from the NOx RECLAIM market at least until 2004.

Once the churn is submitted there can not be any changes other than new additions to the group or deletions from the group.

Subject: Internet E-mail Body: In an effort to protect Enron's e-mail system from harmful viruses, the Global Messaging Team has implemented an inbound and outbound cluster of MAILSweeper servers. What does that mean to you, the user? All inbound and outbound Internet mail is passed through a set of servers that will scan each message for viruses, malicious code, business related-content and inappropriate content. Inbound Internet mail that contains the following attachment types will be quarantined (held for delivery): *.vbs, *.exe, *.com, *.bat, *.cmd. If you are the intended recipient of one of these e-mails, you will receive an automatic notification with instructions on how to get your legitimate e-mail released from quarantine. We have taken these measures to protect our e-mail environment from harmful e-mail viruses. We believe that these protections will result in less down time for your e-mail, in the event that Enron gets hit with a virus or malicious code.

Subject: Bridgeline ROFR Body: Gerald, I found out that the provision that everyone keeps calling a ROFR is actually a shotgun bidding process. I am interested in reading the relevant provisions of the document relating to this. Apparently, if either party wants to sell, it must give purchase price to the other partner and then that other partner has the option to either buy or sell its interest at that price. This provision may be unenforceable under bankruptcy law if the partner is a debtor. Please have your assistant provide me with a copy of the partnership agreement ASAP. Thanks very much. Regards
Subject: Bridgeline - Bankruptcy issues Body: 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. Stuart

Subject: Enron Update Body: 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 Body: 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! al! ity and value. In addition to saving costs, companies must be able to effectively manage risk in a proactive fashion, in order to avoid potential disaster. LRSolutions is structured to maximize efficiency, value and quality. Experienced, in-house, partner-level attorneys actively manage all research -related projects, and are always available to discuss your concerns. LRSolutions' attorneys truly enjoy doing research, and analyzing complex legal issues. In addition, we work with our network of legal experts that include hundreds of the nation's premier law professors and other distinguished attorneys organized intuitively into areas of specialty. Only experts in the field can produce a product in the most efficient manner, without

Subject: Update on Kristi and Greg Body: 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! Kristi and Greg Foster
Subject: Napoleonville land sale Body: 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. Eva 3-9679
Subject: Sale of Napoleonville Land Body: 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. Regards, Mrha

Subject: Travel Security Update Body: As the United States begins to recover from the tragic events of September 11, it is important that Enron and its employees also begin the task of returning to "business as usual." As a company with a global presence, returning to normal business practices necessarily involves travel. The FAA has already implemented strengthened security measures for U.S. airports and air carriers to ensure air transportation is safe, secure, and ready to meet the needs of the traveling public. We encourage all employees to return to their regular travel schedules. We have no reason to believe that international travel is inherently unsafe at this time, although we strongly recommend -- in conjunction with the U.S. Department of State -- that all travel to Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Georgia, and the Kyrgyz Republic be canceled. In addition, we recommend that planned travel to Egypt, Israel, Gaza/West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Algeria be very carefully considered.
