subject: RE: Enron / Avaya mtgs, from Serge's AA
content: Jennifer,
I hope James is getting the treatment he needs to get on the way back to
normal!
As you can see below from the reply from Serge Minassian's AA, it would
appear that the note I
sent to Thad on the 21st hadn't been used to successfully transfer the info
to Barbara...I will
now call Kim Godfrey back (I was waiting on this response from Ms. Korp, so I
could better know
the Avaya Execs' calendars' status).
I'll talk w/you later...

Jeff,
Thanks for the message and especially for letting me know that the meeting
will not be held on December 13th and 14th. I already reserved the Avaya
Briefing Center, but will be sure to cancel it this morning.
If I can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me.

Barbara,
I do not know if you received a "heads-up" on this,
but since you are working with Executive calendars and the
Briefing Center resource, I wanted to make sure you had it.
Better safe than sorry, especially with the recent holidays.
Thad White and I agreed that in order to properly simplify
the communications channels between our organizations,
that he and I should be the primary points of interconnection
for this particular project and these meetings. I apologize that
I do not have the calendar availability of the various Enron
Broadband Services executives, but given the opportunities
of having meetings in Basking Ridge either: (for 1.5 days of a
3 day period) December 19 - 21, 2000 or January 9 - 11, 2001;
the (tentative) preference leanings are toward rescheduling
the currently proposed dates of December 13/14 to the
January 2001 dates.
I will keep Thad posted, and he will keep you posted. I
apologize for any delays or confusion, if any, but I will
periodically check in with you as well, to make sure we're
all on the same path. My primary communication focus will
be Thad, however, in order to minimize any confusion.
Thank you,

Importance: High
Barbara, et. al.:
After a flurry of phone calls, in which both Jennifer Stewart
and I have spoken with Serge Minassian, the following dates
look like the most likely targets: for the 1st day (half-day session),
Wednesday, December 13. For the 2nd day (full-day session),
Thursday, December 14th.
Serge has indicated his availability for a 2-hour block of time,
on the 13th in the afternoon. That meeting would be essentially
an executive overview and strategy session for the appropriate
Avaya executives and the Enron Broadband Services exec-
utives. The bulk of that meeting would be EBS' presentation
of their Value Proposition for the potential EBS/Avaya efforts.
The second day would be for members of Avaya's engineering
and development organizations, and possibly marketing; to
have a full day to meet with the equivalent EBS team. Both
software/firmware and product platform-type of concepts would
be examined, and any other area in which EBS and Avaya
development folks felt that there were possible synergies for
a solution or solutions for the following 2 primary areas:
1) "sell to": EBS solutions to Avaya for internal use, and
2) "sell through & sell with": EBS and Avaya possibly
developing a solution for bringing to market in a similar
fashion to the Avaya/Siebel Systems' efforts.
By way of copying this to the EBS team, I am asking that
they will coordinate with me whom they would be sending,
and to make sure that the 13th/14th of December fit into
the appropriate calendars. If there are any Avaya questions
related to development/engineering efforts, I would coordinate
as well, and most likely route to Larry Ciscon, or other EBS
engineering/development executive(s), as appropriate.
Thank you again for your help, and we look forward to the
opportunity!

Larry,
Thank you for getting back with me. To answer your question: It is looking
more and more like the week of January 8th. The meetings would be held using
approximately 1.5 days of a 3-day window: the 9th, 10th, and 11th. I have
input from Kim Godfrey, who is driving things on the EBS side, and I have a
tentative OK from Avaya for the window of the 9th - 11th.
I will want to begin getting headcount of the EBS travelers, and the day(s)
which each would be attending. For example, you would probably attend both
days, while some of your team would be there exclusively for the 2nd day
meetings. I'm not sure Jim Crowder would be at both days, but Kim G.
certainly would, as would members of her origination team, including Systems
Engineer(s).
I will call you this week to get your input re: who from your team would be
going, and for which days.
Thank you,

Mission/Purpose: Coordinate EBS Executive Calendars
for EBS' trip to Avaya HQ in Basking Ridge, NJ
This is targeted as a one-day trip for the Enron executives
Daily objectives highlighted in red, further below.
Individual items per person follow immediately:
Jim,
I have spoken w/Nancy Young, and we have penciled in
that you could possibly make the trip on December 19th,
20th, or 21st; OR January 9th, 10th, or 11th. If Larry and Everett
can also join on one of the same days you are penciled in
for, I would like to book your time for the meeting.
Larry,
I have left you a voicemail, and this note. Please let me
know ASAP which of the days that I have penciled in for
Jim Crowder's attendance would also work for you.
Everett,
I have called Marie Thibaut and left her the information on
her voicemail. Since she's out, I'll send this to you directly,
as well. Will you also let me know which days (above)
work best for you?
Steve Pearlman,
You and I have spoken, I have your availability info. Thank you.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To clarify the purpose of the Avaya trip: the first day (only)
is for executives to investigate the following items --
1) what value can EBS deliver to Avaya for Avaya internal
use (product/service solutions, financing, etc.) EBS sell
EBS' solutions to Avaya for Avaya internal use
2) ideas for opportunities for Avaya and EBS to enter into
a "sell through/sell with" arrangement, whereby some type
of joint marketing efforts could be enjoined. EBS sell with,
and/or through the Avaya sales organization
The second day (only) would be for Avaya and EBS
development/technical staff to meet and brainstorm the:
1) results of the executive meetings' output from 1&2 above,
discuss output of day 1 meetings, & technical issues
and opportunities
and 2) what technical hurdles or opportunities exist which
could enable successful EBS efforts to sell EBS solutions
to Avaya and through Avaya or with Avaya's sales &
marketing team. Larry Ciscon may choose to attend both
days due to the nature of his mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Please let me know as soon as you can which day or
days would work best for you to make the trip. I need to
get things coordinated with my counterpart at Avaya so
he can schedule his executives' time, and their briefing
center facility.
Thank you,

subject: Enron/Avaya Meeting in Basking Ridge, wk of Jan 8, '01
content: Thad,
Would you please get the calendars of your execs synchronized, and tell us
which 2-day period the week of January 8 - 12, 2001 works best for our mutual
meetings? We were originally looking at the 9th, 10th, or 11th as days to
choose from primarily to avoid having the EBS executives located in the
western U.S. travel from Portland, OR on Sunday for meetings on Monday in
NJ. Consequently, I had asked the EBS executives to pencil in the 9th - 11th
of January, and got the final one to confirm late last week.
However, Kim Godfrey at EBS may have some new requirements; which is why I
need your help in an expedited way - I'll need to give Kim your executives'
availability during that week, and then we'll get things locked in ASAP.The
meetings would still be scheduled such that the 1st meeting day would be for
the meetings to be held during the 2nd half of that day, from 2-4 hours of
meeting time for the executives (VP & up, primarily) to discuss possible
alignments and opportunities. This would include two primary areas:
1) EBS-sell-to-Avaya for Avaya internal use: what types of potential
solutions EBS could offer Avaya for Avaya's internal use; and
2) EBS & Avaya join together in a product and/or marketing effort to
determine what kinds of solutions which the could jointly propose to the
(common) markets served: "sell with" (each other); and "sell through"
(channels type efforts), where either or both Avaya and EBS would act as
sales channels for each other's sales forces.
These meetings would be followed by the 2nd day's session(s), which would
include primarily development and marketing team members who would discuss
areas in which Avaya and EBS could develop one or more joint value
propositions, such that they would have a "jumping off point" for a
go-to-market effort (item #2, above). In addition, the technical aspects of
some of the
"EBS-would-like-to-sell-its-services-to-Avaya-for-Avaya-internal-use" (item
#1, above) meetings from the Executive session the 1st day could then be
addressed.
Please let me know which 2-day period looks like the most workable one for
your executives at Avaya HQ during the week of 1/8/01, so that I can get to
Kim to allow her to get the EBS executives' schedules locked into days
synchronized with your executives'.

subject: RE: Enron / Avaya meetings in Basking Ridge, Jan 2001
content: Karen,
Thank you for the update. It looks like we'll plan on having the EBS/Avaya
meetings on January 10th and 11th, 2001. The first day will be a full day,
the second will be 1/2 day, a.m. session. You have asked me to provide a
list of Enron attendees, titles, which day(s) they would likely attend, and
some background information on the meeting(s) purposes. An explanation of
the meetings' proposed focus and probable attendees is in the attached
meeting notes.
The notes are from the November meeting which we coordinated and held for
Enron Broadband Services and Dave Johnson. By copy of this note to Kim
Godfrey, we'll update the EBS executives on the meetings, and work on
arranging their calendar availability. So far, we have had the EBS execs'
calendars penciled in for the time slot of January 9-11. At this point, I
would expect that the EBS attendee list would look something like this:
Jim Crowder, VP, Enterprise Services; Enron Broadband Services - day 2
Everett Plante, VP and CIO, Enron Broadband Services - day 2
Larry Ciscon, VP Software Architecture, EBS - day 1&2
(selected team members of Larry's organization - individuals TBD by Larry)
- day 1
Steve Pearlman, VP, Strategic Development, EBS - day 2 and/or day 1
Kim Godfrey, Director, East Origination, EBS - day 1&2
Jeff Youngflesh, Director, Business Development, Enron Global Strategic
Sourcing - day 1&2
(others as suggested by Kim Godfrey or other EBS executive)
From Avaya, the EBS team would like to meet with Dave Johnson, Serge
Minassian, John Stephenson, and their selected Avaya team members.
Per my conversation with you earlier today, the Enron Broadband Services
meetings w/Avaya will need to be scheduled such that the overall agenda will
"flip-flop" day 1 with day 2. Originally, the first day was going to be a
half-day executive strategizing meeting in the p.m. (allowing for travel to
NJ), and the 2nd day to be more a product- or solutions-focused effort, with
a full day's agenda. Based on the fact that Dave Johnson will only be
available the morning of the 11th, the meeting schedule will be reversed,
such that the "full day/products/solutions" meetings will precede the
half-day executive strategy sessions. I have checked w/Barbara Korp, and
Serge Minassian and John Stephenson are both available on the 11th, as well
(John Stephenson would have a hard stop at 10:30).
Thank you,

subject: Calendar Availability for 11/30, 12/1? (BMC/EBS update)
content: All,
In our meeting on the 17th of November, the NetWorks team explained their
position(s) relative to possible upcoming purchases of software, in which BMC
might be selected as the vendor. There were several issues and concerns
which were voiced, mostly related to BMC's lack of support and suboptimal
application capability (that is the "net", understated version).
Bob, you and I spoke briefly after the meeting regarding what, if anything,
BMC could do to "fix their problem". I relayed the gist of our brief
conversation to EBS.
As discussed in the meeting, EBS has a near-term opportunity to get a deal
done with BMC, and it would be of optimum benefit to execute this year. One
of the outcomes of our November 17 meeting is that EBS has been pressing BMC
for a BMC commitment to Enron's overall customer satisfaction. Per a
voicemail to me from EBS, it appears that BMC have provided a response to EBS.
I would like to schedule a meeting for the addressees of this note for either
November 30th, or December 1st. The purpose is to get an update from the
NetWorks team on the BMC application testing that was underway, and for EBS
to explain what BMC has proposed. This meeting should take an hour.
Please let me know if you can meet tomorrow or Friday. I'll book a room and
time that works for the majority, and confirm with a Notes "Meeting
Invitation".
Thank you,

subject: Re: BMC Update, clarification
content: Thanks, Chaz, for the response. What I am looking for in question #3
(purchase commitment) is did I convey the info correctly re: what BMC will
accept from Enron to allow the EBS deal to close? From notes to the Net
Works directors and Bob McAuliffe, I have copied the following statements
into the space below:
"1) The pricing is applicable if EBS gets their deal done, and you are
willing to provide some form of commitment (at least in writing, either
e-mail or letterhead) to purchasing a BMC product in 2001... For example, if
Randy Matson's team chose the BMC solution at the conclusion of their current
testing, they could lock in the discount at 45% by sending an e-mail (or
other form of written communication) committing to the purchase in 2001 (the
preference would be to get the "buy" done by end of 1st Qtr, if possible).
This would be sufficient commitment for BMC to go forward with their
purchases of EBS' solutions currently proposed to BMC." Is this correct the
way I have presented it to NetWorks? Will their replies work for you if
completed as requested above?
I didn't want to put you in a bind when I told the NetWorks teams what BMC
would feel is acceptable proof-of-commitment, nor did I want to have to go
back to the Net Works group and change the requirements.
I've got another note to send you in a minute or so, from Doug Cummins.
Thank you,

Jeff,
Thank you for your efforts on the BMC deal. We are making real progress.
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. How much do they want you to guarantee them in BMC revenue?
$4 MM in software and $2.4 MM in maintenance and professional services
2. Are you still looking at a $13MM TCV over 5 years?
No, our current TCV over 5 years is $10 MM
3. Have I properly conveyed the "accepable-to-BMC method" of proving
purchase commitment from Enron?
Not sure what you mean here
4. Your note re: getting the Prof'nl Svcs contract signed says it has to be

Subject: BMC Update
Steve/Chaz -
I have taken your EBS Professional Services contract through our contracts
folks, and we have ended up with it now being in EBS' contracts dept w/one of
your attorneys. Our contracts Director, Tom Moore, and I spoke w/Eric Merten
(PDX) early this afternoon, and he now has the contract. EBS may have some
Intellectual Property issues related to ownership of BMC Consultant-developed
materials (while being paid by Enron). Eric is in the driver's seat with the
contract at this point.
I have sent notes to all of the Net Works directors currently engaged in one
form or another with BMC product and/or personnel. In it, they have been
requested to help us understand our opportunity from a number of angles:
Application(s) considered, attractiveness of the new pricing, attractiveness
of the BMC flexibility w/regard to "purchase commitment", etc. In addition,
I have re-iterated the time urgency.
I have followed up the note w/telephone calls & messages to all of them:
Doug Cummins, Randy Matson, Bob Martinez, Jim Ogg, and Bruce Smith. I am
meeting with Bob Martinez on Wednesday at 3pm. Matson, Ogg, and Smith have
me in their voicemailbox, Cummins was in a meeting and he said he would call
me back.
Would either one of you please let me know what BMC wants EBS to do for
them: how much do they want you to guarantee them in BMC revenue? Are you
still looking at a $13MM TCV over 5 years? Have I properly conveyed the
"accepable-to-BMC method" of proving purchase commitment from Enron? Your
note re: getting the Prof'nl Svcs contract signed says it has to be done by

A HUGE THANK YOU from me to you! This is exactly what I was hoping for (even
if the amount of purchase is not what some folks might have been wishing for,
the reply is critically important)! I really appreciate your having taken
the time to help out by providing this information.
I will check back with you on Thursday, if I haven't heard from you by then,
to see about the "commitment letter"!
Thank you again,
Jeff
p.s. I will be forwarding your note to Randy Matson and Bob Martinez, to see
if it would help them in their efforts. I'll also copy you on that one.

Jeff,
Honestly and for your (Enron) eyes only - attached is the modified
spreadsheet of what my group is seriously looking at purchasing. Basically,
we like their Change Management tools but not really interested in Patrol
(monitoring).
We will have a more definitive answer by Thursday. We DBA's (eCommerce,
Corp, and London) are trying to make a joint decision, but the other two
groups are dragging out their evaluations...

Douglas

content: Jennifer,
This is apparently the type of deal flip-flop which BMC has been blessing EBS
with. In the note from Doug Cummins which contained his updated spend
projections, he had the "Professional Services" highlighted with a bunch of
question marks. It is at the bottom of his sheet, and lists a qty of 30 @
$2000 per = $60,000 --- I assume that's $2K/hour or per day. Either way,
it's not something that appears palatable to them (Net Works). I'll be going
over there in a few minutes, and will try to check w/each of the guys. I'll
keep you posted.

Clarification on the below.
Point #1 our position has been $3MM on software (they are saying they need
$4MM to get the deal done.)
Additionally, they want Maintenance and professional services to go with the
dollar amount. $2.4MM is their position here. I need your help to clarify
with each group who is on board with maintenance and profesional services.
BMC's #2 guy Jeff Hawn told Jim Crowder this was critical for them.

Jeff,
Thank you for your efforts on the BMC deal. We are making real progress.
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. How much do they want you to guarantee them in BMC revenue?
$4 MM in software and $2.4 MM in maintenance and professional services
2. Are you still looking at a $13MM TCV over 5 years?
No, our current TCV over 5 years is $10 MM
3. Have I properly conveyed the "accepable-to-BMC method" of proving
purchase commitment from Enron?
Not sure what you mean here
4. Your note re: getting the Prof'nl Svcs contract signed says it has to be
done by 6pm the 14th...what if you don't get it until the morning of the 15th?
We prefer the 14th, but if we can't get it until the 15th, that will work
Please let me know if you have any other questions. I will call you tomorrow
to touch base.

Subject: BMC Update
Steve/Chaz -
I have taken your EBS Professional Services contract through our contracts
folks, and we have ended up with it now being in EBS' contracts dept w/one of
your attorneys. Our contracts Director, Tom Moore, and I spoke w/Eric Merten
(PDX) early this afternoon, and he now has the contract. EBS may have some
Intellectual Property issues related to ownership of BMC Consultant-developed
materials (while being paid by Enron). Eric is in the driver's seat with the
contract at this point.
I have sent notes to all of the Net Works directors currently engaged in one
form or another with BMC product and/or personnel. In it, they have been
requested to help us understand our opportunity from a number of angles:
Application(s) considered, attractiveness of the new pricing, attractiveness
of the BMC flexibility w/regard to "purchase commitment", etc. In addition,
I have re-iterated the time urgency.
I have followed up the note w/telephone calls & messages to all of them:
Doug Cummins, Randy Matson, Bob Martinez, Jim Ogg, and Bruce Smith. I am
meeting with Bob Martinez on Wednesday at 3pm. Matson, Ogg, and Smith have
me in their voicemailbox, Cummins was in a meeting and he said he would call
me back.
Would either one of you please let me know what BMC wants EBS to do for
them: how much do they want you to guarantee them in BMC revenue? Are you
still looking at a $13MM TCV over 5 years? Have I properly conveyed the
"accepable-to-BMC method" of proving purchase commitment from Enron? Your
note re: getting the Prof'nl Svcs contract signed says it has to be done by
6pm the 14th...what if you don't get it until the morning of the 15th?
I will call you to follow up on this note.
Thank you,

subject: FW: BMC DEAL --- UPDATE --- from Net Works (J Rub)
content: Jennifer,
I spoke w/Jenny Rub about almost every BMC/EBS issue, except for this one. I
did not know about the issue which Bruce Smith has sent (blue text, below) to
Jenny and Bob McAuliffe. When I spoke w/Jenny, I was unaware of BMC's
retraction. It is new news to me, and at the very least, doesn't seem very
"customer-focused" on BMC's part. I certainly agree w/Bruce's statement to
the effect that BMC needs to meet w/Philippe about their pricing!

Not that it matters but wanted you to know:

Subject: BMC DEAL
Importance: High
Jenny/Bob
Per the BMC deal, here is where we are with Batch Processing:
TidalSoft, Sysadmiral
Approx. 90 k ( current quote covers us and GPG and does not include SAP )
We have added a couple of pieces to this and it could bring the cost to 125 k
worst case. This quote covers consulting and maintenance. They are trying
very hard to get a deal done this year and we could probably get our
additional components at the current quote price if we signed.
BMC, Control -M
Approx. 325 k This is after we remove the SAP modules and components from
the quote. Quote that was sent over from Jeff Youngflesh (Enron GSS) was for
a total of 628 k
Hardware for either product is approx. 300 k.
We have conferred with the SAP team and they are not desperate for us to take
over their scheduling but think it is a good idea to include them in our long
term strategy. They actually do not recommend either of these product's SAP
modules and mentioned a third party product (Autosys) that has connectors
into BMC. We are not sure at this point about a connector into TidalSoft
(Larry if you have info on this please comment).
Larry's and his team have eval'd both products and although they are leaning
towards Sysadmiral they are satisfied that both products are acceptable. You
guys make the call as to whether the additional 200 k is worth the weight it
will lend to the EBS/BMC deal. FYI - BMC rep said that we still get 45%
discount if we cut the SAP modules. BMC needs to sit down with PB and learn
how over priced their products are !
Let me know what you think. If we go TidalSoft I need to push this through
or be advised to let it go till the New Year.
Thanks
Bruce
*****
Also in Quote sent over from Youngflesh :
BMC, Control SA
1.3 M NOT EVALUATED AT THIS TIME - Is a candidate for future
consideration for the Security Admin space but not enough info to speculate
as to whether to try and leverage current deal with EBS. I guess they put
this quote together from info they received from Henry Moreno

Jeff,
We backed away from Patrol for monitoring - Quest is so far ahead
technology-wise and cheaper.
My group still considers BMC's Schema Manager tool to be the best and would
purchase it now if the other group was willing to cooperate. I believe Jim
Ogg wants to evaluate more tools and related design tools before making a
decision.

subject: Re: BMC update, 17:15
content: Chaz and Steve,
Here's the latest, in a nutshell. Basically, the testing is not fully
completed, even where we might have felt that it was close (because there is
also a financial component which needs to be exercised - the TCO part of the
purchase decision). As you know, both Randy Matson and Bob McAuliffe are out
on vacation, so getting a decision from them is not likely before Christmas.
However, it looks like there has been enough feedback to/through them to
surmise that BMC is not in the driver's seat in either situation.
In a meeting today, it became apparent that BMC's revenue opportunity with
the Net Works organization is much lower than BMC has projected to you at
EBS. The primary opportunity for BMC in Net Works is for their Schema
Manager tool, and the rest of the opportunities look increasingly dim,
especially given the time constraints imposed in your situation.
Still, the Net Works team has not completely ruled BMC out as a potential
vendor; but neither is there a commitment (written OR verbal) to make a BMC
purchase at this point. I will be on vacation next week, but will be
checking in on Monday the 18th and Tuesday the 19th. Jennifer or I will keep
you posted if we are able to report opportunity changes in your favor.
I have sent you a paraphrased version of Doug's most recent communication to
me. The overall message would apply fairly universally to the other Net
Works teams in question: more testing, but looks like BMC's total sales
opportunity to Enron is not going to get to the amount necessary to get your
deal done. The issues mentioned in the other summary update note from
yesterday still apply.
Thank you,
Jeff

We backed away from Patrol for monitoring - we feel that a competitor's
solution is a better one for us.
My group still considers BMC's Schema Manager tool to be an excellent
product, and would consider it to be a viable option for purchase. I believe
Net Works will still evaluate more similar tools, and related design tools,
before making a decision.

subject: EBS opp'ty w/BMC
content: Chaz & Steve,
I was able to review our recently completed conference call w/BMC with
Jennifer Medcalf.
During the call, Bernie Goicoechea and Ann(e?) Munson expressed that during
their last few months of interaction with Enron Net Works, they have
attempted to understand the exact issues and concerns which Net Works has
with regard to selection/use of BMC's products. Bernie voiced that he hasn't
been able to get more detail on the problems or nature of concerns that Net
Works has, beyond what you and I know. The BMC account team feels that
without specifics, they cannot address the issues accurately or in a timely
fashion.
The Enron Net Works team has expressed concern that various BMC products are
not Windows 2000 certified (at least, not the ones they are focused on, and
not in writing). Net Works also have some other concerns relative to the
(Net Works) team's feelings that the BMC products (in some areas) "...haven't
kept up with the industry", and that they (Net Works) have some residual
issues with the BMC account support in general. Bottom Line, expressed by
Net Works, is that there is a low probability of their purchasing enough BMC
software product this year to enable EBS to clinch its deal with BMC.
You related Jim Crowder's suggestion related to the use of indemnification
and liquidated damages clauses being implemented. Jennifer and I discussed
this situation, and our meetings with your team, in context. We have a
possible alternative for you to consider: perhaps EBS might provide a hedge
for Net Works in the form of "advance purchase" of BMC product.
For example, EBS is poised to buy about $1 million worth of BMC software, but
needs to show BMC a firm purchase commitment for about $3 million in total
Enron purchases from BMC. A way in which you could reach the $3 million mark
with BMC; while also allowing the relationships between Net Works and BMC
time to "click" might be this: EBS buys all $3 million worth of BMC
software, but $1 million is used to actually take product now, and the other
$2 million is used as a "future purchases" fund, in which EBS buys, but does
not take immediate delivery of, the (remaining $2 million worth of) current
software...
THEN, future Enron Net Works (and any other ENE business unit) purchases of
BMC software would be executed such that EBS is paid, and the software is
delivered from/by BMC. That way, EBS gets its $2 million back, the other
business units aren't spending any of today's dollars for product which they
seem to have some concerns about (but they can get current/certified product
when they need it in the future). In addition, you secure the business with
BMC right now. I'm sure you could also figure out how to account for the
time value of money in this, so that there is further leverage advantage to
you.
If all else fails, you may wish to consider something like this...In the
meantime, we will continue along the current path and keep you posted on
progress.

subject: FW: BMC/Win2K Certification
content: Jennifer,
I hope you are doing well in the U.K., as my clock here says it is probably
about 4:52pm in London...Here is an update on BMC:
Based on the following, I would say this:
1) BMC has worked to clear up operational problems experienced by Net Works,
and in one situation, appears to have done so successfully.
2) Net Works has not acknowledged that the results of #1 were desired or
acceptable, and instead offered another pushback (Win2K certif'ctn), therefore
3) BMC doesn't appear to have been given further opportunity to identify
what issues, if any, are still open at Net Works.
4) I don't see evidence (either in these notes OR having come out from any
of the many telephone conversations I've been in) that Net Works has provided
any responses since 11/21 or so...Peter Goebel and I met w/Net Works & EBS on
11/17, and I have had no calls or e-mails responding to my requests for
information relative to "what are your top 3 problems in this BMC situation,
Net Works?" from Net Works.
5) So, I feel confident that there are more issues (left off the table by
Net Works) than will be discussed, because
6) Net Works doesn't want any of BMC's solutions. Period.
7) The Result: EBS is on their own on their deal with BMC, as far as Net
Works' folks are concerned.
In the "I don't want any surprises" mode, I thought I'd give George a
heads-up re: possible fallout around the BMC thing. I told George in this
morning's staff meeting what Jim Crowder said to the EBS origination team ("I
don't see a problem here..."), and what you and I suggested EBS do - buy and
implement $1M of BMC's stuff, pay $2M for "credit", which any ENE business
unit could access, etc. I also informed him that the EBS and BMC folks were
likely to encourage Crowder to "lean on" Philippe (which I had recommended
against). George said he would take it up w/Jennie Rub.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

subject: Thank You, (again)
content: Bob,
Thank you for your reply. I know you are doubly busy with your being on the
road this week, just prior to a vacation. Your answer below is perfect!
Bob, you and your team have been very supportive of our efforts to assist EBS
with BMC, and you have done all that we could have asked! I wanted you to
know that we really appreciate your support (I especially do, as a "late
arrival" to this situation)! Thank you again for all of the help!

Jeff,
Assuming that either Randy or Doug were to decide that BMC was a viable
solution for their areas of responsibility, we would certainly support
purchasing the appropriate products from BMC.

Subject: Update
Bob,
I understand from Thais that you're on the road for Enron, but soon you'll be
"on the road for Bob" - a well-deserved vacation coming up! In light of your
impending vacation, I wanted to do a quick follow-up check.
If we could somehow, without causing an undesirable state in your
organization, facilitate the ability to purchase BMC solution product for Net
Works, would you support that?
I have spoken with Bruce Smith, Randy Matson, and Doug Cummins in followup
calls from the November 17th meeting in EB 22C1. IF Randy and Doug were
likely to make a pro-BMC decision (instead of for a competitor's product),
and IF there was a way to painlessly (for Net Works) enable the funds to
become available to make a purchase of BMC product (by Net Works), would that
be something you would support? I am searching for a way to help EBS without
impacting Net Works in any negative way...but ultimately, I will abide
whatever you demand here.
I hope to hear from you, either by telephone/voicemail, or e-mail; if you
could do so prior to your vacation.
Thank you again for your help,

subject: Product Quotes and Software License Agreement (BMC / EBS info)
content: Jennifer and Peter, welcome back...!
Attached are the notes from the EBS team and BMC organization regarding the
proposals to EBS and Net Works (etc.) from BMC.
I am curious, Peter (or Glenn), if it is reasonable of BMC to make the
statement to the effect that, "...the 45% discount is applied only if
we have the EBS Enron Partnership agreement in place...". Is that cutting it
close on the restraint of trade issue?
Bob McAuliffe has informed me in a note that if his people (Matson & Cumming)
choose the BMC product at testing conclusion, he would support their
decision. Smith and Ogg have given "no go" indications. I have received
that information from Bruce Smith in a telephone conversation, but Jim Ogg's
lack of communication with me is what I have used to draw a similar
conclusion for his situation...
BMC and EBS both, I believe, are wanting GSS to do the contract work for this
deal. It is my understanding, Peter, that the timing of that request might
be a problem for your guys...Perhaps we should have a quick, informal pow-wow
about this?
Thanks,
Jeff

Subject: Product Quotes and Software License Agreement
Hi Steve,
It was nice talking to you. Included here are the Product quotes that we
sent to the groups. The Incontrol has multiple spreadsheets for Bruce
Smith's projects. Real Media is for Everett. The other two are self
explanatory.
The concern that we have is that there is still not a quote for Jim Ogg and
therefore it is not a quantified amount for the deal we're doing together.
That is significant because it effects discounts, volume, and certainly the
more BMC product that Enron targets the better for this deal.
As mentioned in the phone call, I'll send you a soft copy of the Enron Corp
(which includes EBS) software license agreement with BMC if I can get it for
you. Otherwise it will be a hard copy when you come over today. It
includes the terms of liability, warranty, etc.
I look forward to seeing you today.
Best regards,
Ann

Subject: The EBS Enron agreement
Hi Jeff,
I hope you are doing well. There have been some interesting developments on
the way to the Enron Broadband/BMC agreement since we last spoke.
Apparently, it is extremely important to Jim Crowder to get this agreement
in place by December 15. As a result of the conversation between Jim
Crowder and Jeff Hawn, BMC Exec., I have been directed to help Steve Morse
and Chaz Vaughan in leveraging the best deal possible for the various
projects that Enron is considering with BMC. As you are aware, we have
already proposed several individual deals. In addition to those we are
including some deals in which there has been an expressed interest so that
Enron can take advantage of the pricing that this partnership will bring to
you.
The purpose of this e-mail is to give you a heads up on the acceleration of
timing that we have been directed to work towards and to let you know that
we have already agreed to bring our price down in order to make the price
more attractive to Enron. We would very much appreciate your help in
expediting the process of bringing this agreement to closure. In my next
e-mail I will send you a list of all the outstanding BMC proposals to Enron.

Two points: 1) We do not want to tie the deals together in any form of
written communication. We must be very careful going down this path. Your
comment below is very valid. 2) Having said that, we can certainly help
facilitate putting together an agreement with the understanding that I will
not put my people through a fire drill. We need total buy in from all the
parties. GSS has already wasted a lot of time on this process. Let us know
the next step and Glenn and I will be happy to help with the agreement.

Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with Tom Moore and me.
Attached is the (only) contract which I have received from the EBS
origination team trying to close a deal with BMC Software. Steve Morse and
Chaz Vaughan report to Brad Nebergall (VP, Central Origination, EBS), who
reports to Jim Crowder (VP, Enterprise Services, EBS).
Please review, and provide your feedback to me, the EBS origination team
(Chaz, Steve, and Brad Nebergall), and Tom Moore.
If there are any other EBS deals/contracts on the table involving BMC, I
would like to do whatever I could to help them close on this. Please let me
know if I can do anything else for you! You can reach me at (x55968) or Tom
at (x55552). The origination team is at (Chaz: x58815, Steve: x37137, Brad:
x34714). On a final note, the originators have repeatedly driven home the
point that they must have this deal closed with BMC by end-of-day this
Friday, December 15. I am focused on helping them win the business however I
can.

subject: Update on BMC/EBS situation
content: Bob,
I want to make sure I keep you in the loop on the EBS/BMC/NetWorks/Global
Strategic Sourcing interactions.
EBS has worked out an additional 25% discount, which brings the total
discount structure to Enron to a 45%-off pricing level, if EBS and Enron
aggregate their spend opportunity. This should come as good news to anyone
at Net Works who might be about to implement a BMC solution.
Also, there is additional flexibility in the situation, in that BMC will be
willing to work with Enron business units with regard to the timing of their
software purchases as it relates to applicability in EBS' deal. For example,
if Randy Matson's team chose the BMC solution at the conclusion of their
current testing, they could lock in the discount at 45% by sending an e-mail
(or other form of written communication) committing to the purchase in 2001
(the preference would be to get the "buy" done by end of 1st Qtr, if
possible). This would be sufficient commitment for BMC to go forward with
their purchases of EBS' solutions currently proposed to BMC.
I'm going to contact your leads (Randy, Bruce, et. al.) to let them know of
the additional possible discount and the relative ease of securing it...and
to also help make sure that what BMC is pricing out to all is the correct
application solution in each instance.
Thank you for your help and cooperation,
Jeff Youngflesh

subject: BMC Update
content: Steve/Chaz -
I have taken your EBS Professional Services contract through our contracts
folks, and we have ended up with it now being in EBS' contracts dept w/one of
your attorneys. Our contracts Director, Tom Moore, and I spoke w/Eric Merten
(PDX) early this afternoon, and he now has the contract. EBS may have some
Intellectual Property issues related to ownership of BMC Consultant-developed
materials (while being paid by Enron). Eric is in the driver's seat with the
contract at this point.
I have sent notes to all of the Net Works directors currently engaged in one
form or another with BMC product and/or personnel. In it, they have been
requested to help us understand our opportunity from a number of angles:
Application(s) considered, attractiveness of the new pricing, attractiveness
of the BMC flexibility w/regard to "purchase commitment", etc. In addition,
I have re-iterated the time urgency.
I have followed up the note w/telephone calls & messages to all of them:
Doug Cummins, Randy Matson, Bob Martinez, Jim Ogg, and Bruce Smith. I am
meeting with Bob Martinez on Wednesday at 3pm. Matson, Ogg, and Smith have
me in their voicemailbox, Cummins was in a meeting and he said he would call
me back.
Would either one of you please let me know what BMC wants EBS to do for
them: how much do they want you to guarantee them in BMC revenue? Are you
still looking at a $13MM TCV over 5 years? Have I properly conveyed the
"accepable-to-BMC method" of proving purchase commitment from Enron? Your
note re: getting the Prof'nl Svcs contract signed says it has to be done by
6pm the 14th...what if you don't get it until the morning of the 15th?
I will call you to follow up on this note.
Thank you,
Jeff Youngflesh

subject: Your "Bridge" corp./contract info request
content: Ali,
The "Bridge" you referred to in your voice message to me is not the one you
want, I believe. You referred to a $5MM spend by Enron w/ "Bridge". That
spend data comes from the pre-SAP era, and may not be as accurate as one
might hope. In addition, you will find that the product/service category is
"Hardware". I am not sure that is the "Bridge" which Kathy Shaps is looking
for the contract information (if any) on.
That Bridge (Kathy's target, I believe) is the one which EBS has done a deal
with (Bridge/Savvis/EBS, early summer '00; for WebFN)...Jeannette Busse &
Greg Reynolds are intimately familiar with that customer relationship, but
perhaps not at the contract level. If it is and EBS-only relationship, EBS
may have the only contract. The EBS contracts contact would be Ray Stelly,
who reports to Pat Weatherspoon (Ray is out until Monday the 11th, though).
You might also check with Richard Weeks, who could direct you to the right
person in EBS purchasing, if it's a "buy on PO" situation.
http://www.bridge.com/
http://www.webfn.com/cgi-bin/core.dll?i9=267&s144=index.txt&sfront=1&slogin=0&
sframeBust=undefined
Please check the URLs above, and if they take you to the company with the
"Enron relationship" you're referring to, I'll have a better idea what to
look for. In the meantime, I am looking into our contracts area to see what,
if any, contracts that GSS has active (for any part of Enron) with any
company called "Bridge", whether it is Bridge Information Systems, or some
other "Bridge". When I have more information, I'll call and/or e-mail you
with an update. I'll also copy Kathy and Kim.

floor) to have each trader access the Bridge Information System or Bridge
Terminal. We believe that Enron would get this backbone connectivity from
Savvis. This information is supplied by Bridge and has nothing to do with
the WebFN transaction done by EBS. Any thoughts on where we can find the
annunal spend by ENA to gain access to the Bridge Terminals and their
information - we thought that GSS might have the annual spend numbers.
thanks for your help,
Kim

subject: Bristol Babcock/Pagosa Energy - Well Master/Enron meeting notes
content: Meeting Minutes: Bristol Babcock, Pagosa Energy/Well Master, EBS, and GSS
Meeting Purpose: Business overview, solutions identification/brainstorming
Date: 12/1/00
Enron
EBS Attendee:
Anthony Gilmore
Global Strategic Sourcing Attendee:
Jeff Youngflesh
Bristol Babcock
Kevin Finnan
Jim Griffeth
Pagosa Energy/Well Master
Rob Bender
DISCUSSION POINTS:
1) Bristol and Well Master feel that there is significant opportunity, with
placement of enough BBI TeleFlow devices (integrated flow computer,
corrector, recorder and controller/RTU) in North America that the data
transmission needs would generate enough bandwidth demand that it would be of
interest to EBS to provide some of its solutions to Bristol & Pagosa Energy
"unified solutions" (quotes are mine - JKY) for the gas industry. NOTE:
this could take a longer term to reach the necessary "critical status", due
to the need for a very large hardware install base since each TeleFlow
generates only about 11 - 12,000 bytes of data per day in its report bursts.
1a) In this scenario, the EBS opportunity would be primarily driven by sales
of product solutions by BBI and Pagosa, which would include EBS network
capacity. (a "sell-through" effect for EBS)
2) There could also be enough demand for bandwidth- or related EBS solutions
to Bristol by including Bristol's own internal I/T bandwidth consumption that
a near-term solutions engagement would be desirable. NOTE: this could
accelerate to the necessary "critical status", bringing to EBS more solutions
demand due to the addition of "sell-to". The "sell-through" effect would be
present with Bristol/Pagosa selling solutions which use EBS' solutions (a
sales "channel"), as well as EBS "sell-to" BBI & Pagosa for their own
internal consumption of bandwidth.
____________________________________________________________________
ACTION ITEMS:
1) Bristol will provide Anthony (Tony) Gilmore of Enron Broadband Services
the necessary contact information for the appropriate people in FKI's
(Bristol's parent co.) Info/Technology area.
2) Enron GSS contacts (J Youngflesh) will attempt to ascertain if there would
be value to Enron (GPG?) and/or its customers if they had the ability to
execute nomination control all the way to the ground (upstream of gas
well-head).
3) EBS (Tony Gilmore) will begin working on the I/T discovery process,
attempting to aggregate total Bandwidth demand: (usage patterns/volume/etc.)
at Bristol and/or Pagosa.
3a) Per Rob Bender, Tony Gilmore should be contacting Al Freimeyer (sp?) at
Pagosa to understand the volum of data from their daily batches from
well-to-vendor. Rob provided Tony Al's telephone number on 12/1.
4) Enron GSS to contact Ron Smith - waterSCADA.com - to investigate parallel
opportunity (gas / water analog).
5) EBS and BBI/Pagosa will begin (internal efforts) to figure out ways of
getting the TeleFlow CDPD data onto the EBS "Enron Intelligent Network"
Next Meeting: TBD
Please let me know if I've missed anything.

Subject: Meeting 12-1-00
Dear Jeff:
It was a pleasure meeting with you last Friday with Jim Griffith and
Kevin Finnan of Bristol Babcock. Perhaps by now you have had an
opportunity to review the http://wells.pagosaenergy.com web site and
look at aspects of the "demo" section. This is a very dynamic program
with changes, upgrades, and customization taking place all the time to
meet the individual needs of our customers.
There may well be a good fit here as we are seeking ever faster means of
communication and will be requiring a substantial infrastructure not
only for communications but for data base hosting as well. While yet in
its infancy we have received very positive feedback and interest from
numerous oil and gas companies in the industry. An alliance with Enron
to help us on the road to becoming the "Microsoft" of oil and gas well
automation would be a very alluring prospect. I would like to keep a
dialog going between us to scope out areas of mutual benefit for our two
companies where such an alliance would make sense.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Rob Bender,
President - PagosaEnergy.com

content: Jennifer,
I had forgotten to invite Roy, but I did tell him about the meeting, and he
was OK w/getting the notes after the fact. I also told him I would not
forget to keep him in the loop and invited to any future meetings.
As for Ron Smith, I really have egg on my face. I totally forgot about Ron
(I was thinking only Instromet, and S-J was running with that). I think that
in my excitement and effort to get this meeting put together, I overlooked a
few important details. I will certainly do a better job next time!
Thanks for the reminder!
JY
p.s. I was unable to get w/George during the day yesterday, but I did catch
him at about 6:35pm. I gave him my update on the latest BMC/EBS activities
(Crowder is going to meet w/Philippe today). He gave me some good feedback,
and I think that for the most part, I'm on the right track. The only thing
I've done which I feel could provide (potential) negative exposure, based on
feedback from George; is discussing w/BMC the idea that perhaps EBS could do
the buy/take $1MM, and pay/keep credit of $2MM...I wasn't admonished, but KGW
felt that I would have been better off not discussing that w/BMC...You and I
can talk, though, because I'm not so sure that it was a bad thing, in this
case. But next time, there won't be a next time - so that won't be an issue
anyway!

Please find the following EMail as a piece of the EBS / Compaq history.
This is the amendment language developed to address the five clarification
points rasied during the EBS / Compaq meetings in August and September
2000. These meetings were held to gain mutual understanding and clearly
identify the requirements of the January 2000 Product and Server Supply
Agreement.
Bob, I appreciated the honesty and perspective shared between us this
morning. I look forward to resolution of these perspectives.

subject: RE: Compaq / EBS Relationship
content: Jeff,
As of Dec 14th, Enron received the message regarding David Spurlin greater
involvement in the EBS relationship. In the past, EBS had included David on
the direction of our relationship and not the details. Our prior direction
was to have Derrick Deakins as our key point of communication.
In regards to your comment about amending the Agreement. I would like to
fill yourself, David and Bob in on some history. During the meetings in
August 2000, EBS and Compaq reviewed the Agreement line by line and
identified 5 sections to be clarified / amended. There was a group of at
least 8 Compaq attendees (Chris Sweet took extensive notes for Compaq). Both
EBS and Compaq agreed on the methodology to calculate the value of the Compaq
Minimum Annual Spend of EBS Services. Spreadsheets were exchanged between
both Parties and the amounts were agreed upon. A significant amount of time
was spent in this process between August through October. EBS and Compaq
(Derrick Deakins) developed contract language to clarify the outstanding 5
sections. This contract amendment was sent to Compaq (Rob and Derrick) for
comments in November. EBS has not heard anything regarding the language.
During the course of these discussions, EBS agreed to concede on certain
points of interpretation on the Server Purchase Agreement and Compaq agreed
to work with EBS to achieve revenue recognition in 2000. The EBS
concessions were used by both Parties to develop the methodology to calculate
the Compaq Minimum Spend toward EBS Services. This was reason for the
development of the EBS Consulting Payment ($832,000).
EBS looks forward to the resolution of these issues and moving forward with
our relationship.

Thank you for including me in this email...I agree, without question, Dave
Spurlin "Owns" the Enron/Compaq relationship, from Compaq's perspective.
All matters should go through Dave...Thank you, this will make your life
easier.
Although I was not in the entire meeting with yourself, Keith and Rob; My
reaction was that this agreement needs to be amended to protect both Enron
and Compaq. We are both exposed to potential unnecessary pitfalls that are
clearly evident in the original agreement.
We look forward to resolving this issue, amending this agreement, and moving

David and Bob,
We look forward to working with you to strengthen the Compaq and EBS
relationship. EBS has identified potential server business opportunities
(storage, streaming media) where our two organizations can work together.
After
our meeting on Dec 14th, EBS now understands to utilize David Spurlin as the
point person for these communications. EBS had prior direction from Compaq
to
direct our discussions to Derrick Deakins, Rob Senders, Keith McAuliffe or
Kent
Major. Tracy Prater and myself look forward to spending additional time
with
David to ensure that he is aware of the EBS business opportunities and
issues.
EBS had invested significant dollars, time and energy with Compaq to develop
the
streaming media server solutions. We discussed during the Dec 14th meeting
that
there are decisions to be made regarding the existing Product and Server
Supply
Agreement that are contingent on those streaming media solutions. EBS and
Compaq have both acted in good faith to achieve the intent of the Product
and
Server Supply Agreement in pursuing these solutions. To that end, EBS has
had
internal discussions regarding the appropriate next steps to further our
relationship.
The January 2000 Product and Service Supply Agreement is the legal framework
for
our relationship until both parties mutually agree to change. Until those
changes are made:
1) 2000 Compaq Annual Purchase of ECI Services: Per the Agreement, Compaq
was
invoiced for the 2000 Minimum Annual Purchase of ECI Services on November 7,
2000 as per Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. Compaq had agreed to the invoice
amount. EBS expects payment for the total invoice as outlined in Section
3.0 on
or before December 31,2000.
2) Potential for Agreement Termination: Prior to the Dec 14th meeting,
Compaq
(Keith and Rob) have discussed this with EBS (Jim Crowder, myself). The
understanding between both Parties was that EBS would need a written notice
and
payment by Compaq of $2,500,000. The concept to start over with a new
contractual agreement was again discussed during the Dec 14th meeting. EBS
strongly believes in the value of the Compaq and EBS relationship, if Compaq
believes that to start over with a new agreement is necessary then we look
forward to working with Compaq to achieve that goal.
Again, we look forward to working with yourselves to identify and create
strategic business opportunities for both EBS and Compaq.

Subject: Compaq Update
Everett and Jim,
I have phone calls into both of you to gain your feedback and support on
appropriate next steps with Compaq. Everett, I am asking for your input as
it is your cost center that purchases the Compaq servers and hence one of the
relationship owners. During the meeting yesterday - the following happened :
a) Keith McAuliffe announced that he is leaving Compaq effective immediately
(his replacement has yet to be named). My perception is that Keith took the
hit for Compaq missing their 4th quarter Server Business Unit sales
projections. EBS is not their only account who did not meet projected
targets.
b) Bob Jordan - Director NA Sales reporting to Jerry Earle will expand his
existing Enron sales relationship to include ownership of the EBS Server
Agreement
c) EBS Server Agreement - Under the agreement Compaq was to buy EBS
Services. For the first two quarters - the Compaq purchase amount was fixed
at $1.72 million and starting with the third month then would be based on an
8% value of the total EBS Server spend for the prior two quarters. EBS sent
Compaq an invoice for $4,134,229 on November 7th. Compaq has not paid the
invoice. Lou Casari's team is handling the delinquency and notifying
Compaq. Compaq ( Keith M.'s stewardship) had agreed to pay. Bob stated that
EBS has not performed to Compaq's satisfaction under the Server Agreement and
Compaq does not believe that Compaq should be accountable to buy any EBS
services (Bob's first negotiation position).
d) EBS and Compaq have different viewpoints on what should be included in
the EBS Server Spend amount.
Compaq (Bob Jordan) value - EBS purchase of $5.1 million for servers and
hardware in 2000
EBS (added) - EBS purchase value would add an additional $1.0 million
for servers and hardware in 2000
EBS (added) - EBS purchase of $4.9 million for servers and hardware in
1999
EBS (added) - EBS purchase of $3.1 million in Compaq professional
services (costs for Server deployment)
From these viewpoints - if one was to set a Compaq purchase amount then the
following might occur
EBS total is $14.1 million spend for 1999/2000 at 8% would equal a Compaq
purchase amount of $1.128 million (w/out the 2 fixed quarters)
Compaq total is $5.1 million spend at 8% would equal a Compaq purchase
amount of $408,000
EBS Viewpoint - Per the signed EBS Server Purchase Agreement - the amount
is $4,134,229. (I did not concede)
e) 2000 income. Per the signed EBS Server Purchase Agreement - Compaq had
to pay for the Compaq Purchase amount before or by Dec 31, 2000 but could
defer identifying the services to be used against the amount until Dec 31,
2002. If Compaq had not used the services by Dec 31, 2002 then they lost the
right to spend against the amount. To gain 2000 income recognition, EBS
worked with Keith M and Rob Senders to invoice for $832,000 to cover EBS
consulting services provided to Compaq. Again, under Keith M's stewardship
- they verbally agreed to pay.
Now with the above information - my offered next steps :
a) Until everything is done - maintain the "stick" of the EBS invoice ($4.1
million). This is being done.
b) Termination fee - the contract does not state a termination fee. It
does state a value of $2.5 million max for liquidated damages. Prior
conversations have discussed Compaq paying a $2.5 million termination fee
(again with Keith M). This could be recognized as yr 2000 income.
c) Consulting Fee - The recognition of the $832,000 would be a 20% return on
services of $4.1 million. This is a good return for a commodity
transaction. So.... do we accept a lower amount to maintain a healthier
relationship.
So...... please let me know your thougths. We have countered with the $2.5
million with the understanding that the lower end would be $832,000.
Please let me know your thoughts

subject: Meeting and information
content: Jennifer,
Thanks for hosting the meeting yesterday. Sorry I had to leave but I had to
meet with Beth Pearlman. I believe there was a lot of good information
exchanged and that is why we ran so late. I certainly came away with a
different insight to Enron that I did not have before we met.
Regarding the relationship between Compaq and Enron, I need to make some
things are very clear in our go forward strategy.
At the end of the day, the account team (Dave Spurlin up through Jeff,
myself and Jerry) own the responsibility for the Enron relationship. If
corporate folks are making deals with Enron, we still have to manage the
account. Peter Blackmore is very clear about that. He was always preserved
the integrity of the account team as being responsible for the customer.
That is why we need to keep Dave focused and knowing what transactions are
taking place within Enron. He isn't the decision maker on deals like the
EBS one, but as you are well aware of, the EBS contract has impaired other
business opportunities within Enron. Dave's sole responsibility is Enron and
making sure that your needs are being met. He will direct and assist in
making sure that we have resolutions for situations that impact the
relationship with Enron. I need your help with all Enron organizations to
make sure that they use Dave as the focal point. If folks continue to go
around him, situations like EBS will continue. He has to have the total
picture of business transactions happening at Enron. He will understand how
those situations can impact the business at and for Enron.
Secondly, attached is the information that I received regarding contracts
with Enron. Regarding the Power/Gas contact it is a 5-year deal with the
sixth year being optional. The annual outlay is estimated to be $16.1M per
year. I did make an error in using the $97M divided 5 years versus 6 years.
So at 5 years the value is $80.5M. If you have something different, let's
make sure that we are on the same page. I have attached the emails that I
received this data from.
<<RE: Enron Energy Management Contract - Update.>> <<RE: Enron Building
Services Novi MI.>>
Regarding the EBS deal, from a business perspective we need to do a level
set very quickly. Compaq wants to get this settled and move on in a positive
light. Compaq will honor it's commitments but we need to make sure that
Enron does the same. The bottom line is there needs to be a resetting of
expectations relative to Compaq's revenue from EBS versus what actually got
booked. Our expectations were $96M a year based on the forecast provided by
EBS, certainly not $14M (based on what we agreed to yesterday). I find it
very difficult in the spirit of partnership to hear that we are being held
accountable for our portion of the deal, when we don't have the revenue to
off set it. Based on what I have heard, both parties had shortcomings based
on expectations that were set. I will speak to Keith and Rob this morning to
see how it was left. I also need to get your perspective on the
transaction. Jennifer, if there is a business opportunity, Compaq certainly
wants to continue in pursuing that with Enron. Provided it's equitable for
both sides. I realized that this is a difficult situation, but we will get
through it.
Jennifer, once again I appreciate your efforts in setting the meeting up and
hosting Compaq. I will contact you later today.
Thanks,
Bob Jordan

Michael,
I left you a voice message today regarding Enron. I'm doing
a presentation and I would like to get the amount ($) of contracts we
currently have with Enron Services. For example the $97M 5-year contract for
power. I understand that we have contracts in the Northeast and West for
facilities.
Can you provide me with that kind of data? I would
appreciate it.
My presentation is on the 14th of December.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to call.

Michael,
Thanks for the update. I am OK with your decision
not to select Enron (and I also reviewed with Jim Milton). Given that Enron
chose not to rebid, I certainly think this is a reasonable decision.
It is very important that I (and the Enron account
team) stay informed on all of these issues, so thanks again for keeping us
in the loop.
Regards,
Jerry

is the current service provider for Office Services related support. The
proposed pricing received by Pitney Bowes is 11.1% or $15,147 lower than the
price provided by Enron. Enron has been given the opportunity to revise
their pricing but has chose not to. The recommendation is to award the
business to Pitney Bowes. Please confirm that you concur with our
recommendation. Thanks.

The pricing provided by Enron was 11.1% higher than the price received by
Pitney Bowes. The Enron account team has been informed that their pricing
is not competitive and they been given the opportunity to lower their price.
They have opted not to lower the price. The recommendation of both Real
Estate and Procurement is to award the business to Pitney Bowes.

Subject: Computer Associates - Meeting Notes
Stephen Down and I met with Computer Associates in Toronto yesterday. Here
are some of my thoughts on how it went.
We met with Julia in the morning -- went to CA's Toronto office, where we
made presentation on EBS. Later Julia made a presentation on Computer
Associates, their Sales manager talked about their "security suit of
products", we were given a demonstration of their UniCenter TNG software, and
then taken to lunch. At lunch, we were joined by the President of Worldwide
Online Corporation (a Canadian startup).
About Computer Associates:
Computer Associates is a highly centralized organization run by its founders.
The company is the third largest independent software manufacturing business
in the world. It offers more then 800 software products. Like other companies
in their space, their stock has taken a beating this year losing more then
half its value (Jan 00: ~ $70, now ~$27)
Julia Ruslys, is part of their "Strategic Alliances" team -- their mandate is
to manage:
Strategic Business Alliances
Development Partner Program
eForce technology unit
Analyst relations
CA's APPROACH
Computer Associates sees EBS as a potential "development partner". Their
interest seems to be in a long-term alliance with EBS, where they can package
their software with a bundled network offering (from EBS) for their clients.
They claim that their main product UniCenter TNG has a 30% market share of IT
infrastructure management market. It is a cutting software package that can
manage all LANs or remote networks for an Enterprise. With a stunning graphic
interface, the software can be configured to manage:
All networks within an Enterprise
Each computer connected to a node within the enterprise can be monitored and
managed remotely (software installation etc.)
Their is a plethora of add-ons to the basic UniCenter package including some
advanced "Asset Management" tools that can predict future utilization through
a neural network architecture.
She commented that with UniCenter TNG, our clients have "full control and
flexibility over their whole network" EXCEPT THEIR BANDWIDTH NEEDS. EBS's
flexible and intelligent BOS, if integrated with UniCenter TNG, can provide
an enterprise complete control over their IT infrastructure with exceptional
flexibility. Similarly they have a keen interesting in developing and
expanding their storage solutions.
They seem to be interested in expanding their market opportunity and
increasing revenues through increasing the number of "CA certifications" and
joint selling initiatives. In other words, they would like EBS's network to
be CA-certified by developing compatibility between UniCenter TNG and IPNet
Connect. They currently have 1500 partners, including almost all top names in
IT infrastructure space.
EBS APPROACH CONVEYED
Although I think we have conveyed EBS's approach of "looking at specific
quick and clear opportunities", CA does not seem like a lean-mean
organization. Furthermore, the people that we met with, did not seem to have
an appreciation of the financial structuring and risk management capabilities
-- instead seemed to be disconnected with the corporate financial goals of
their organization. For example, when Steve Dowd talked about financial risk
management tools, their sales manager started talking about how they help
enterprises manage risk through their "security software packages."
WORLDWIDE ONLINE CORP.
Worldwide Online Corp. is a startup (with less then $2M revenues) that claims
to have good connections with CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) They were in
contact with Brad Sims' group out of Portland. That group, at some point lost
interest in Worldwide because Worldwide are looking for video streaming
services. Being a start-up with no credit, it is understandable why they were
abandoned by us. Steve made it clear that he knows nothing about the deal and
he may give Brad a call. I personally do not see anything for us in the next
two quarters or so even though the company has been promised many sports
broadcast opportunities by CBC.
It is interesting that Worldwide Online is a small client of CA. Julia went
out of her way to convince us to meet with Worldwide Online. At one point, I
almost thought as if her main goal was to promote a dialogue between EBS and
Worldwide online.
NEXT STEPS:
Steve and I made it clear that it will be important for us to look at some
specific short to medium-term opportunity with CA. Julia is going to identify
the people in her organization whom we can have constructive dialogue with
regards to IP connectivity needs of CA (their network infrastructure
procurement team.) At the same time, we had to show an interest in bringing
her team together with our product development people to see if any
integration opportunities exist between UniCenter TNG and IPNet Connect
BOS/Storage etc.

subject: Continental/Enron meeting, December 11th, 2-3 PM
content: Mr. Shankman:
In preparation for the meeting on December 11th with Larry Kellner, CFO,
Continental Airlines I have noted below some background on the
Enron/Continental relationship and the purpose for the meeting. We would
appreciate your answers to a couple of questions below.
Background:
Ron Howard, Vice President, Continental Food Services, met earlier this year
with George Wasaff, Managing Director, Enron Corporation Global Strategic
Sourcing and Tracy Ramsey, Sourcing Portfolio Leader, to review the strong
business relationship in fuel management and travel services which Enron has
had with Continental Airlines. Discussions were held as to how this
relationship could be expanded favorably for both companies.
A subsequent meeting held October 25th enabled decision makers from both
companies to act on these earlier discussions and explore opportunities to
expand beyond the current fuel management and travel initiatives to those in
weather derivatives and plastics hedging.
December 11th Meeting Purpose: Follow-up from October 25th meeting to
specifically address Larry Kellner (who could not make the October 25th
meeting) on three initiatives in order of $ magnitude: (1) fuel management,
(2) weather derivatives, and (3) plastics hedging -- VaR analysis.
Location: Larry Kellner's office will be getting back to us regarding his
availability to do a quick tour of the trading floor. If he can make it for
a trading floor tour Kellner would meet at Enron Corporation; otherwise, he
is requesting that Enron Executives meet in his executive offices at 1600
Smith Street. Is either location fine for you or do you have a specific
preference?
Meeting Attendees from Continental Airlines:
Ron Howard, Vice President, Food Services
Larry Kellner, Chief Financial Officer
Greg Hartford, Vice President, Fuel Management Company
Jeff Misner, Vice President and Treasurer (tentative)
Mr. Shankman, who would you like to have at the meeting from Enron? To date,
we have coordinated through John Nowlan. At the October 25th meeting, Alan
Engberg and Mark Tawney presented the plastics hedging and weather
derivatives opportunities, respectively.
Next week, I will be forwarding a short briefing which outlines Enron's

content: Mr. Dyson:
Jennifer Medcalf asked me to forward to you the following brief overview of
Enron's relationship with Continental. Please feel free to contact Tracy
Ramsey directly at #(713)-646-8311 with any further questions regarding
Enron's buy side relationship with Continental. Ramsey is the Global
Strategic Sourcing, Portfolio Leader, who manages the Continental
relationship.
Enron Buy Side with Continental:
Current Enron US spend on Continental airline tickets was approximately $40
million in FY 1999 and $17.5 million for the first six months of 2000.
Enron Sell Side with Continental:
Additionally, Enron has a strong relationship with Continental's Fuel
Management company. Specifically, Enron has been hedging Continental's crude
oil over the past 2+ years. Value to Enron has been over $9 million; value
to Continental has been over $45 million since 1999. Enron Global Markets is
currently exploring several other business propositions with Continental
Airlines in the following areas of financial risk management: weather
derivatives, plastics hedging, and on-line jet swaps. Enron Energy Services
is exploring an energy (electric commodity) deal with Continental as well.
Mr. Dyson, please don't hesitate to call if I can be of further assistance
regarding these sell side opportunities.

subject: Continental Briefing for Enron/Continental meeting December 12th
content: Mr. Shankman:
In preparation for the meeting on December 12th with Larry Kellner, CFO,
Continental Airlines, I have noted below some background on the
Enron/Continental relationship and the purpose for the meeting. Mr.
Shankman, please advise if you would like me to distribute this to the
attendees.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Over the past several years Enron has been hedging Continental's crude oil.
The relationship has been beneficial to both sides. As a result, since 1999
Enron has made over $9 million and Continental has saved over $45 million.
The purpose for the December 12th meeting is to address three initiatives in
order of economic value: (1) fuel management, (2) weather derivatives, and
(3) plastics hedging -- VaR analysis. Several new initiatives being
proposed to Continental include the following:
exchanging call options on crude oil for airline tickets (Craig Breslau,
Originator)
transacting financial swaps on line (Larry Gagliardi, Originator)
creating a weather derivative product for the airline industry (Mark Tawney
and Gary Taylor, Originators)
outsourcing Continental's antifreeze and plastics risks by hedging these
products with Enron (Alan Engberg, Originator)
Meeting Attendees from Continental Airlines:
Ron Howard, Vice President, Food Services
Larry Kellner, Chief Financial Officer
Greg Hartford, Vice President, Fuel Management Company
Jeff Misner, Vice President and Treasurer (tentative)
Meeting Attendees from Enron:
Jeff Shankman, President and COO, Enron Global Markets
John Nowlan, Vice President, Enron Global Markets
Craig Breslau, Vice President, Enron North America
Mark Tawney, Director, Enron Global Markets (tentative)
DISCUSSION:
(Developed through conversations with Alan Engberg, Larry Gagliardi, Gary
Taylor, Craig Breslau, Tracy Ramsey and Lucy Ortiz.)
Enron Buy Side with Continental:
Current Enron verifiable spend on Continental airline tickets was
approximately $40 million in FY 1999 and $17.5 million for the first six
months of 2000.
Enron Sell Side with Continental:
(1) FUEL MANAGEMENT:
Current Business: Over the past 2 years, Craig Breslau and others have been
managing a strong relationship with Greg Hartford, VP, Continental Fuel
Management, hedging Continental's crude oil. The first transaction was on
January 14, 1998 -- a one month Forward on Kero. Since then, Enron has
completed 29 transactions with two commodities: KERO and Crude. Current
business consists of three crude call options, settling in December 2000
($31.00) and January, 2001 ($34.00 and $35.00)
Value to Enron: Enron has earned $9,682,084 (1999-October 6, 2000)
Value to Continental: Continental has saved $45,001,744 (1999-October 6,
2000)
Possible next steps: (a) A transaction where Enron exchanges call options
on crude oil for airline tickets.
(b) Financial jet swaps on line: Larry Gagliardi has already spoken with
Rick Pressly, Director, Continental Fuel Management, regarding financial jet
swaps on line. At the time, Pressly was not interested in pursuing this
product offering.
Value to Continental for (b): a more perfect hedge as opposed to hedging
with crude oil since hedging jet fuel with jet is a more perfect hedge.
Enron could offer services for the whole year and explore multi-year options
as well both with financial and physical jet fuel.
Possible next steps: Would Larry Kellner be interested in (a) or (b)? Enron
could also supply Continental with jet fuel physical in the following
locations such as the US Gulf Coast, New York harbor, the US West Coast, and
Europe. (Enron is doing this now with Delta airlines in New York harbor).
If so, Gagliardi could provide a guest password and Enron Online
identification number if Kellner's office wanted to review the product.
(2) WEATHER DERIVATIVE PRODUCT:
Business proposition: Create a basket of weather related risks - such that
aggregate bad weather above a tolerable level would result in payment from
Enron to Continental.
Continental Airlines clearly has exposure to weather as indicated in their
annual reports and periodic press releases - particularly those discussing
earnings. It is extremely difficult to envision the perfect weather hedge
for all of Continental's weather related exposure. However, it is not
difficult to envision simple ways to reduce a large portion of it.
Continental has hubs in Houston, Newark, and Cleveland. The weather
conditions that create delays and increased costs in these areas include -
rainfall above certain amounts, snowfall above certain amounts, temperatures
below freezing (de-icing costs), winds above a certain speed, etc.
Value to us: Create value by designing a basket of these risks.
Value to them: Creation of a weather hedge to protect Continental's exposure.
Possible next steps: Upper management would need to issue a directive to
various groups within Continental to describe what weather conditions affect
the bottom line, how much they affect the bottom line, and then ask each
group to attach a "confidence level" to each of their estimates - Continental
could start a weather risk management program by only hedging a weighted
average of their exposure x their confidence level - or some portion thereof.
Exposure areas would be categorized according to the following:
Clear exposure. Quantifiable.
Clear exposure. Difficult to quantify
Potential exposure. Quantifiable
Potential exposure. Difficult to quantify
For each of the above categories, Enron would also need an indication of
whether Continental has historical cost data against which we can regress
historical weather data.
Enron's weather derivatives team could then sit down with Kirk Rummel,
Director and Airport Services Division Controller, and some of his team (or
others designated by Kellner) and brainstorm about different types of weather
that cause increased cost to Continental. (Gary Taylor made a brief
presentation to Rummel on November 6th; no follow up action with Enron has
taken place to date)
(3) PLASTICS:
Business proposition: Alan Engberg proposed that Continental outsource
their antifreeze risk (ethylene glycol / propylene glycol) and plastics (high
impact polystyrene, polyethylene) by hedging those products with Enron.
Value to Continental: Cost/Budget certainty (assuming a perfect hedge whereby
their purchase contracts are linked to the index used for hedging) and
associated reduction in volatility of cash flows
Value to Enron: The value is approximately $2 million notional value if they
hedged 100% of their 4 million pound polystyrene exposure. Since Continental
has not yet shared the size of their antifreeze buy, Engberg cannot comment
on the potential value to Enron though he is fairly certain it would be much
larger than $2 million.
Possible next steps
This proposition is being considered by Ron Howard's team at Continental.
Continental needs to share their antifreeze spend with Enron. Enron could
then develop a proposal to Continental that includes perceived benefits of
outsourcing their commodity risk to Enron. Could a follow-up meeting with
Ron Howard's team and Larry Kellner's designated contact be arranged to
facilitate this process?
Alan Engberg also recommends working with Continental on a strategic approach
to modelling their overall exposures using VaR may prove extremely powerful
and rewarding to both companies. David Port is already (x-39823) looking at
ways to outsource Enron's expertise in this area. Continental could be a
pioneer in the effort. Factors to model would
include jet fuel, natural gas, electricity, currency, interest rates,
plastics, antifreeze, paper, and, metal.

Northwest Natural Buys Enron Unit For $1.9 Billion in Cash and Stock
By Robin Sidel
Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
10/09/2001
The Wall Street Journal

(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
Enron Corp., as expected, agreed to sell its Portland General Electric utility to Northwest Natural Gas Co. for nearly $1.9 billion in cash and stock in a transaction that will unite the largest gas and electric utilities in Oregon.
Northwest Natural also is expected to assume $1.1 billion in debt. For Enron, the move comes about five years after it bought Portland General as part of a plan to break into the nation's deregulating power markets. Since then, Enron has backed away from that strategy, in part because of the California energy crisis. Enron agreed to sell the utility to Sierra Pacific Resources, of Reno, Nev., for about $2 billion in 1999, but that transaction fell apart this year.
Meanwhile, little-known Northwest Natural, of Portland, Ore., is betting that buying Portland General's operations will give it more muscle on its home turf. The combined company, with $5 billion in assets, will have more than 1.25 million electric and gas customers and will own more than 2,000 megawatts of generation, 26,000 miles of electric transmission and distribution lines, as well as 12,000 miles of gas lines. Northwest Natural supplies natural gas to more than 500,000 residential and business customers in Oregon and Vancouver, Wash. Portland General is an electric utility serving more than 1.4 million customers in Oregon.
Terms of the transaction call for Enron to receive $1.55 billion in cash, $200 million in Northwest Natural preferred stock, and $50 million in Northwest Natural common stock. Enron has agreed to hold the securities for at least 2 1/2 years. The common equity stake will give Enron voting rights amounting to 4.9% of the total number of Northwest Natural shares outstanding. Enron, a Houston energy-trading concern, also will receive as many as two seats on Northwest Natural's board, which has 12 members and the authority to boost that number to 13. It isn't clear if Enron would seek two seats.
"This sale is consistent with our overall objective of selling assets that are not strategic to our wholesale and retail energy business," said Kenneth L. Lay, Enron's chairman and chief executive.
The cash portion of the transaction will be raised through loans arranged by Merrill Lynch & Co. , of New York, and Credit Suisse First Boston, a unit of Switzerland's Credit Suisse Group. Enron was advised by Credit Suisse First Boston, and Northwest Natural's financial adviser was Merrill Lynch.

Enron, the US energy giant, has agreed to sell electricity utility Portland General Electric to Northwest Natural Gas for $1.88bn. NW Natural, a regional utility, will also assume about $1.1bn in PG debt and preferred stock. Enron had been seeking to dispose of the utility for some time because it is no longer core. It is also attempting to dispose of up to $5bn in other assets - primarily international infrastructure projects in developing countries where Enron believes there is little chance of building its wholesale and retail business around them.

COMPANIES & FINANCE UK: Budge digs deep and saves Hatfield Colliery
Financial Times; Oct 9, 2001
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Brian Wilson, energy minister, yesterday welcomed the decision to restart coal production at Hatfield Colliery following the mine's rescue by Richard Budge, former chief executive of UK Coal. The Coal Authority, responsible for licensing mining, formally approved the takeover of Hatfield by Mr Budge's new company, Coal Power, paving the way for production to restart next month. Mr Budge, who earlier this year was ousted as UK Coal's chief executive, beat his former company and Enron, the US energy group, to buy Hatfield for about Pounds 5m. He was last month named preferred bidder for the colliery which went into liquidation in August. The government, in a bid to keep the pit alive, provided Pounds 6.69m of aid.
Hatfield is estimated to have coal reserves of 15m-23m tonnes. Recent rises in gas prices with more competitive electricity trading have encouraged generators to switch to more flexible coal-fired plant. Sales of domestically produced coal had risen by 20 per cent in each of the past three years, while prices paid by power stations had risen from Pounds 22.50 a tonne 18 months ago to about Pounds 35, said Mr Budge.

Enron Sells Oregon Utility
Enron agreed to sell Portland General Electric to Northwest Natural Gas for $2.9 billion in cash, stock and assumed debt, ending a more than two-year effort to shed its Oregon utility. Enron no longer needs Portland General to sell electricity in the West and wants to spend its money on more promising businesses, chief executive Ken Lay said.

Enron seals deal to sell Portland General utility
By LAURA GOLDBERG
Copyright 2001 Houston Chronicle
Investors reacted positively to Enron Corp.'s announcement Monday that it sealed a deal to sell utility Portland General Electric for almost $1.9 billion.
Shares in the Houston-based energy traded finished the day up $1.72 at $33.45.
"It's definitely an important catalyst for the stock," said Raymond Niles, an analyst who follows Enron for Salomon Smith Barney.
Northwest Natural Gas Co. agreed to buy Portland General from the Houston-based energy trader, which has been trying to sell the utility for months.
Under the deal, Enron is to receive $1.55 billion in cash, $200 million in NW Natural preferred stock and $50 million in NW Natural common stock.
NW Natural will take over Enron's $75 million balance toward consumer rate cuts Enron agreed to when it bought Portland General in 1997.
In addition, NW Natural, based in Portland, Ore., will assume about $1.1 billion in Portland General debt and preferred stock.
The common equity stake in NW Natural will give Enron voting rights limited to 4.9 percent. Enron, which has agreed to hold its securities in NW Natural for at least 2 1/2 years, also will receive up to two board seats.
The deal, subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to close by the fourth quarter of 2002.
It's the second time Enron reached a deal to sell Portland General. Nevada-based Sierra Pacific Resources agreed to buy the utility in November 1999.
The deal, valued at about $2 billion plus assumption of $1.1 billion debt and preferred stock, was officially called off in April, although it had been considered dead months before.
Sierra Pacific planned to sell some of its Nevada assets to raise cash for the deal, but Nevada's move to electricity deregulation was delayed and Sierra couldn't carry out the sales.
NW Natural is Oregon's largest natural gas utility, with more than 525,000 customers in northwest Oregon and southwest Washington.
Portland General serves more than 730,000 customers and owns 2,015 megawatts of electricity generation.
Enron is moving away from owning large physical assets so it can focus on trading and making markets in a variety of commodities.
"This sale is consistent with our overall objective of selling assets that are not strategic to our wholesale and retail energy business," Ken Lay, Enron's chairman and chief executive, said in a statement.
Enron bought the utility in 1997 in a deal worth $2 billion, plus it assumed $1.1 billion in debt and preferred stock.
The NW Natural deal represents "a break-even transaction from a gain-loss standpoint," Enron spokeswoman Karen Denne said.
Enron could use the proceeds to pay down debt, repurchase stock or invest in the company's high-growth businesses, she said.
Enron, when the deal gets closer to completion, must assure investors that the money will be invested in a higher-return opportunity to avoid earnings dilution, said Carol Coale, an analyst with Prudential Securities in Houston.
Investor confidence in Enron suffered after CEO Jeff Skilling, citing personal reasons, unexpectedly resigned in August. Even before then, Enron's stock had come under pressure for a variety of reasons.
The Portland General deal "should add one notch in management's credibility belt," Coale said, adding: "They have several notches to go."

NW Natural Gas Chmn & CEO
Susan Lisovicz

CNNfn: Street Sweep
(c) Copyright Federal Document Clearing House. All Rights Reserved.
SUSAN LISOVICZ, CNNfn ANCHOR, STREET SWEEP: As we told you earlier Enron (URL: http://.www.enron.com/) has agreed to sell its Portland General Electric unit to Northwest Natural Gas (URL: http://www.gasco.com/) for $1.9 billion. Richard Reiten is chairman and CEO of Northwest Natural Gas. He joins us from Portland, Oregon to discuss the deal. Welcome and congratulations.
RICHARD REITEN, CHMN & CEO, NORTHWEST NAT. GAS: Thank you.
LISOVICZ: Well the investors have spoken and so far it`s negative. Your stock is down about 40 cents. Why do you think the market`s not thrilled about what they`ve heard so far?
REITEN: Well I don`t think being down 40 cents is really any indication in a market like today. In fact we`ve got a great transaction. Good for us, Northwest Natural Gas and certainly good for Enron. We`re able to create a five billion asset company headquartered here in Oregon. It`s going to have great growth as well as great shareholder value for Northwest National shareholders. So it`s a combination gas and electric company being created. Really we`re very excited about it.
LISOVICZ: $1.9 billion in cash and stock. Fair price?
REITEN: Yes. Fair for us and fair for Enron. It gives us great cash flow, great accretion to our earnings in the first year, a transaction that I think really benefits both parties.
LISOVICZ: Will it be accretive to the bottom line in the first year?
REITEN: Yes it will.
LISOVICZ: OK. Tell me what shareholders can expect immediately if anything.
REITEN: Well it`ll take a year for regulatory approval, nine to 12 months anyway. And then our first year as a combined company will most likely be 2003. We made it clear to our investors and shareholders that the transaction will be accretive in the first year even applying the old accounting rules amortizing good will. Without the good will amortization it`s double digit accretive. So it`s a very good transaction for us and our shareholders.
LISOVICZ: How did gas prices play into this? Did they speed up or did -did they influence at all how these talks proceeded?
REITEN: No they did not. You know gas prices have been declining rather dramatically over the last three months from highs over the previous year. But they`re coming down now and will be more moderate we think out over the next year but didn`t play any role in this. We passed through the gas cost without margin to our customers as most local gas distribution utilities do. They will play a real role because we could bring the gas supply asset storage and so on of our company to Portland General Electric`s gas-fired generation. So the combination of those assets are really a powerful set.
LISOVICZ: What was most attractive about this property?
REITEN: Well I think you have a almost total overlap of geography. Eighty percent of Portland General Electric`s customers are located inside Northwest Natural Gas service territory. Ninety five percent of the assets are all in Oregon. We have a small gas distribution property in southwest Washington. But there`s terrific overlap, a lot of savings for customers as we move forward to bring the companies together and certainly the accretion for our shareholders as well.
LISOVICZ: OK. Richard Reiten, the chairman and CEO of Northwest Natural Gas. Congratulations. Thanks for joining us.
REITEN: Thank you very much.

CHINA: PetroChina to boost gas output in southwest.
10/09/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
BEIJING, Oct 9 (Reuters) - China's oil major PetroChina has made three natural gas discoveries this year in the southwest Sichuan Basin and aims to boost output in the area by 50 percent, company officials said on Tuesday.
Natural gas output in the Sichuan Basin was expected to rise to 12 billion cubic metres (bcm) in 2005 from 8.0 bcm in 2000, an official of PetroChina's subsidiary, Southwest Oil and Gas Co, said from the Sichuan capital of Chengdu.
To fulfil this target, the southwest company would add an annual gas production capacity of 4.2 bcm over the next four years, which would be focus on the Datianchi and Baimamiao gas fields, the official told Reuters.
"The gas recovery rate in Sichuan basin was not very high. We will try hard to incease our production capacity in the coming years," he said.
The Sichuan Basin is PetroChina's biggest gas producing area.
The three discoveries PetroChina made so far this year in Sichuan had a combined possible gas reserves of 25.2 bcm, another official said.
The Nanchong structure in central Sichuan had a gas reserve of 17.8 bcm, the Jinzhuping structure in the east contained 2.88 bcm of reserves and the Longquan structure in the west had 5.5 bcm, the official said.
The three structures cover a total area of 447 square km (172.6 sq miles), he said.
Experts have predicted gas reserves in the Sichuan Basin were likely to be one trillion cubic metres by 2005.
PetroChina has also speeded up construction of several natural gas purification plants in Sichuan, including one in the Zhongxian county of Chongqing, where a planned gas pipeline to the neighbouring province of Hubei starts, he said.
Gas purification capacity in the basin would rise to 9.0 bcm in 2004 from 5.5 bcm in 2000.
GAS PIPELINES
PetroChina is at the preparation stage of the Zhongxian-Hubei pipeline, China's first joint venture gas pipeline.
The Chinese company holds a 55 percent stake in $400 million project and U.S. energy firm Enron the remainder.
The two companies, which finished a feasibility study and got state approval for building the pipeline last year, were busy doing a market survey, the official said.
The 680 km (420 mile) pipeline, designed to transfer 3.0 bcm of natural gas a year, may be extended to the province of Hunan later, he said.
The Southwest Oil and Gas Co is cooperating with French firm Sofregas to upgrade more than 1,000 km of gas pipelines in Sichuan.
The $230 million upgrade, including repairs, cleaning and extending pipelines, would enable the trunk lines to transfer 8.0 million cubic metres per day upon completion in mid-2003, the official said.

subject: RE: ICE
content: hi..
Noted that ICE is competition.. I am not interested in us supporting that product at all.. I am still pushing Campbell and others to use an alternate solution that gives us the advantage of seeing flow first hand in a discrete way.
An ICE solution more foils my attempts to build liquidity for the crude desk than gas. Currently ICE has a much better market share on crude and the addition of program funds would further frustrate our efforts to ever build a flow business.
On the flip side, ICE will not solve Campbell's problems on gas (prob not on crude either) because there is no certainty they will get a tight market.. the very reason they are still talking to us.. so I guess I am not worried.
I am just pissed that these "solutions" keep popping up that keep Campbell and others from making decisions NOW. I still like the Deutsche solution and am talking to them again next week.. should have some comment from Campbell by then too..
I am still looking for a system that can also accommodate credit constraints as well.. you know.. our lines are pretty full with all the banks who would be able to give us more flow..Deutsche system could help this too.
will keep you informed..
c
on a side note.. have been trying still to educate EOL (Bob Shultz) on these considerations.. they are still debating whether we should have a clearing arrangement with someone.. that won't get around the CFTC issue..

Hey:
1. Theoretically we could agree upon a trade and cross it on ICE after hours when the risk that someone else gets inside is remote. This is a prearranged trade and is illegal on Nymex, but it is my understanding it will be legal on ICE assuming ICE uses the IPE clearing platform, where prearranged trading is legal. Agree about liquidity. I dont think this really helps ICE's volumes, nor liquidity. Funds want liquidity so they will not flock to ICE in the current state.
2. My guess is not intercommodity, but maybe intracommodity. For instance, a gas daily swap against front month futures may have lower margin than the 2 trades additive.
Important Note: ICE is our competition and I am very,very wary to support their system, unless absolutely necessary.

Hi..
I hope you are all ok.. I am sorry for any losses that may have touched your friends and family..
I looked at the ICE/LCH announcements.
I have a few questions:
1. Will ICE be able to work as a deal entry system as well as mechanism to post markets?
My concern here is that under the Deutsche proposal we would be able to do a deal with you over the phone and then post it to their system.. and no other market participant would be able to see that transaction.. it would then go straight to the clearing.
Currently, I'd say that only 2% of the time ICE has a tighter market than EOL.. this because they do not have the liquidity (and likely will not).
There is not a high probability we would ever contribute to this liquidity over our own system (Enron online) so the ability to deal directly with you in still imperative.
2. Can margin at LCH be netted across products?
Looking forward to speaking.
Thanks and Regards,
Caroline

Not so impressed with David goldman. For a guy who has worked in derivatives for 10 years, couldnt answer some simple questions. Very poor financial derivatives knowledge even though he worked at CRT for a long time and a Lyonnais for a while. The only value I see in him is that he worked at BP for a while and might have some knowledge as to how they work.

content: thanks again.. seems like swaptions always get messed up - according to fred (and gas dailies according to me).. will figure out a better procedure.. how we (marketers) can keep track of process and prevent errors... to me its a just lost $ to enron....we are all responsible.
on the eog confo call now...
think prices bottom in 4Q.. looking to lift hedges. see recovery in CY02
4Q- 40-50% hedged now; CY02- 20%...
on shut ins- rigs went from51 to current 41.. look for it to be 35
company very healthy.. organic growth.. reduced debt / equity from 55%- when they split from ENE (which was second worst in peer group) to 29% now which is best.
will continue to buy back shares.

on 3/27/01.. market close is 4.78..
we called Mike Maggi.. asked if he was exercising swap.. yes, he was
we asked if we had to do anything in the system.... no was the reply.
we call ospraie.. tell them we exercised the swap.
reconciling position report with ospraie for the hundreth time this month.. notice we are out 5/month on swaps... we had not previously been pulling deals from the system... just going by deal tickets.
we go through system for a week.. can not find deal.. that is where we are now.
deal needs to be found or recreated.

Errol- A swap between Enron and Tudor for Cal02 at 4.70 must be booked as soon as we figure out that there is no possibility it is in the system.
Derek/Michelle- this deal not being included in the system should be throwing off Ospraie's MTM. This swap is at 4.70.. they are short 60 contracts..currently Cal02 is around $3.. which should result in $1M more positive P&L for Ospraie and $1M less for us.
This must be settled first thing Monday.

ses, while substantially reducing its debt load by the end of 2002.
The sale of Portland General is expected to add 1.88 bln usd of cash to the=
company coffers at the close of the transaction fourth-quarter of 2002. Th=
e deal will also bring 1.1 bln usd of debt relief.=20
Meanwhile, the sale of Indian oil and gas assets should bring in 388 mln us=
d.=20
Eassey expects more asset sales by the company in the near future.=20
The divestiture of the troubled Dabhol power facility in India along with s=
maller international gas assets could provide the company with additional l=
iquidity, he said.=20
"Enron could ultimately (in the next 3 years) raise another 1.8 bln usd or =
so from Dabhol and other non-core international assets."=20
The Dabhol plant is 65 pct owned by Enron, making it the biggest investment=
in India by a non-Indian company.=20
The company's partner, Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB), owns 15 =
pct. MSEB owes Enron 48 mln usd for past power bills, but claims the power =
is too expensive and says it cannot absorb it all. The plant has lied idle =
since.=20
Many questions, however, remain unanswered, said Eassey, noting that despit=

"While Enron has a menu of assets to draw upon to raise capital, reduce deb=

"Will the asset sales line up with an expected balance sheet clean up (with=
prospective gains offsetting losses)?=20
"Can Enron sell its interest in Dabhol anytime soon, given the current war =
environment?=20
"What impact will the weakening economies of South America such as Brazil a=

These issues, along with the earnings drag from about 967 mln usd invested =
in its broadband unit and the viability of its 3.5 bln usd of goodwill, wil=

Reflecting the above uncertainties, Eassey said he is "cautiously lightenin=

nings per share estimates for 2001 stand at 2.10 usd, while the 2003 foreca=

Power providers cry foul over fees / State is accused of improper billing

The San Francisco Chronicle
FINAL

(Copyright 2001)
Electricity suppliers long accused of manipulating California's energy mark=
et are turning the tables on the state, saying its independent grid manager=
is forcing them to make up the cost of bad energy deals signed by Gov. Gra=
y Davis' administration.=20
The power traders accuse the Independent System Operator -- which is legall=
y required to act as an impartial market manager -- of improperly helping s=
tate power buyers spread out the cost of high- priced electricity contracts=
.
Energy firms as well as municipal utility systems have complained about mys=
terious charges on their accounts with the grid agency, said Jan Smutney-Jo=
nes of the Independent Energy Producers Association, which represents such =
industry giants as Enron, Dynegy, Williams and Reliant.=20
The charges showed up around the time the state Department of Water Resourc=
es was forced to start selling excess electricity it had purchased at an av=
erage of $69 per megawatt hour for as little as $1 per megawatt hour.=20
"The ISO seems to be following specific instructions the Department of Wate=
r Resources is giving them," Smutney-Jones said.=20
An industry source said NRG Energy Inc. and other suppliers were preparing =
a formal complaint to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which could=
order the state to issue refunds to generators if it finds they have been =
improperly charged.=20
The commission has ordered an unprecedented operational audit of the grid m=
anagement agency.=20
State officials bought power under long-term contracts when it appeared Cal=
ifornia could suffer serious power shortages over the summer. Instead, the =
state had more than enough power, and electricity available on the spot mar=
ket suddenly cost half as much as the energy California had bought.=20
Gary Ackerman of the Western Power Trading Forum, an industry group, said t=
he grid operator was using a combination of power scheduling and billing pr=
actices to "bury" some of the cost of power purchased by the state in the a=
ccounts of other generators.=20
"The state is the biggest buyer and seller of electricity, and they control=
the governing board of the ISO," Ackerman said.=20
The governor's spokesman, Steve Maviglio, called the power firms' accusatio=
ns "absolutely false" and said the generators were trying to whip up sentim=
ent in Washington to interfere with the state's affairs.=20
"The generators know they'll get a much better deal at FERC headquarters in=
Washington than they will in Sacramento," Maviglio said. "It shouldn't be =
a surprise that they make these accusations here to get federal involvement=
."=20
Oscar Hidalgo, a spokesman for the Department of Water Resources, said gene=
rators could hardly cast themselves as victims in California's energy crisi=
s.=20
"I don't feel sorry for them one bit," Hidalgo said. "They had one heck of =
a year."=20
Gregg Fishman, spokesman for the ISO said the agency was preparing a respon=
se to the accusations.=20
Energy trade organizations said they suspected the ISO of using several mec=
hanisms to charge suppliers for state contract costs.=20
The extra expense is sometimes tacked on to suppliers' bills for ISO operat=
ing costs, which all electricity sellers in California share, Ackerman said=
.=20
Some firms say they have tried to buy cheap spot market electricity for res=
ale, only to find later that the grid manager has charged them for more exp=
ensive state power. Others say the grid operator orders them to activate st=
and-by power units on too-short notice. When they can't comply, they say, t=
he ISO brings high-priced state power on line and bills them for the extra =
cost.=20
The accusations are part of a struggle for control of California's grid. In=
January, Davis disbanded the ISO's 26-member governing board, which was ch=
aired by Smutney-Jones, after some critics said it was too cozy with indust=
ry. Davis appointed his own five-member board.=20
In February, then-FERC Chairman Curt Hebert said the new board had become "=
a political arm of the governor." The commission is trying to get Californi=
a to turn over its grid to a multistate transmission organization.=20
Davis has warned Washington to "keep its hands off" the ISO.

Enron Corp. Raised to Long-Term `Buy' at Merrill
2001-10-09 06:00 (New York)
Princeton, New Jersey, Oct. 9 (Bloomberg Data) -- Enron Corp. (ENE US)
was raised to long-term ``buy'' from long-term ``accumulate'' by analyst
Donato J. Eassey at Merrill Lynch. The near-term rating was maintained
``neutral.''
Northwest to Buy Portland General
CBS MarketWatch.com
10/8/2001 7:44:00 PM=20
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 08, 2001 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Northwest Natural Ga=
s Co. is buying another Oregon utility from Enron Corp. for $1.8 billion, c=
ombining the state's largest natural gas and electric utilities in a merger=
that may save ratepayers money but could also bring some job losses.
Richard G. "Dick" Reiten, chairman and CEO of Northwest Natural, said Monda=
y the gas company is buying Portland General Electric Co. after the Houston=
-based energy giant gave up on its expansion into the Pacific Northwest.
"We're extremely pleased that the acquisition will return PGE to local owne=
rship," Reiten said at a news conference.
Bob Jenks, executive director of the Citizens Utility Board, said he was co=
ncerned the combination could encourage Northwest Natural to bypass state r=
egulators by using its business clout to lobby the Legislature and governor=
's office when rate increases are needed.
"If that's going to happen, and PGE rate cases are fought out in the Legisl=
ature and the governor's office, then I don't think that's going to be in t=
he interest of PGE customers," Jenks said.
Northwest Natural was founded in 1859, the year Oregon became a state, usin=
g gas extracted from coal to light downtown street lamps.
PGE was founded in 1889 with a hydroelectric generator at Willamette Falls =
that anchored the nation's first long-distance electric transmission line w=
hen it was connected to the city, 14 miles to the north. The plant still op=
erates, generating 16 megawatts of electricity.
Reiten said the Northwest Natural board of directors has rejected buyout of=
fers itself in recent years in hopes that an opportunity like the PGE deal =
would come along.
"It was a conscious choice to remain independent and build assets rather th=
an sell out of state," Reiten said. "That patience has paid off."
He said the deal will create a $5 billion utility that can cut costs by com=
bining repair crews, equipment, service centers and billing in their overla=
pping service area.
Portland General has about 733,000 customers in northwestern Oregon and Nor=
thwest Natural has about 530,000 customers in roughly the same area, includ=
ing some in southwestern Washington state. Their headquarters are just a fe=
w blocks apart on the same downtown street.
Federal and state regulatory approval, along with shareholder approval, is =
expected to take about a year.
Some job cuts were expected, but Reiten said he hoped most would come throu=
gh attrition and retirement, rather than layoffs.
He said regulators have looked favorably on recent mergers of gas and elect=
ric utilities because they generally have saved money for ratepayers. Combi=
ned utilities already serve about two thirds of the nation, he added.
Enron purchased PGE in 1997 for about $3.2 billion, including assumption of=
debt, hoping to tap into energy trading along the entire West Coast, from =
California to Washington state. But the Texas company found the pace of der=
egulation in Oregon too slow at a time when the California energy crisis wa=
s unfolding.
Enron has a history of buying and selling smaller companies as it searches =
for the best position in the constantly shifting energy market, said Mike H=
eim, an A.G. Edwards & Sons analyst who follows the Texas company.
"It's really more a strategic move," Heim said.
Enron will receive $1.55 billion cash and $350 million in securities for PG=
E.
Enron stock closed at $33.45 on Monday, up $1.72 per share. Northwest Natur=
al was at $22.99, down 42 cents a share.

Subject: Back office issues
Fred-
There are a number of issues we need to address with back office procedures immediately. We are losing money on avoidable problems and gaining a bad reputation in the market. Lets get Derek and Michelle together Tuesday afternoon.
2 of our counterparties are writing letters of complaint.. here's a sample of some of the quotes we have heard from the 10 counterparties we have added in the last 6 months.
"I shouldn't have to spend my time decomposing the invoices and confirmations you send out"
"It has been 10 days since we traded and we haven't received a shred of paper to give us the details of the trade"
"We are being told in a confirm something different than we are being invoiced for"
"We did not trade 300 contracts per day, it was per month - do you guys even think before you type"
"I am a CFO and an accountant and I can't decipher what you are trying to confirm here"
From a business dinner where a client of ours was speaking casually to large industrials and endusers. One, upon the mentioning of B2B exchanges said "they WILL NOT ever trade on EOL again because the backoffice procedure was such a nightmare.. they couldn't rely on the accuracy or timeliness of the confirm. This was a captive client who and needs to trade... who will not show us their flow again.
The latest is the most disturbing:
"we just want to do a small trade to test your system. We have heard it is a nightmare but want to see for ourselves - I mean how difficult can it be to book the purchase of 50 lots of crude" And still 5 days later they do not have one paper to show the details, not one phone call to confirm the trade...nothing. We even warned the BO that this was a new customer and to make best eforts to make sure the process runs smoothly and efficiently. Well, clearly we failed
We do not understand what is going on in the back office. Is it that they are too disconnected from our daily operations to understand how integral their accurracy is to our business? Is there too much turnover? How are they trained? Who is in charge of the "backoffice"? There seems to be a different manager for every step of the process.. who co-ordinates all their efforts? Does anyone care? Ok.. I'll stop.. For our part, we have Michelle coming up to NY for a week in December (we wanted this to happen as soon as she started but did not work for her).
We have to stop this before we lose clients (which we will).
All the problems are being caused by the following:
1. Our inability to generate an accurate position report for our clients. This has already cost us money this year. Our clients do 10 trades a day.. they are constantly in and out of positions.. it is imperative that we get these right. As well, this report is our ONLY check to make sure deals are entered and entered correctly into the system.
There are hundreds of books at Enron. We have postions on with dozens of them. We currenttly do not have an automated mechanism to pull deals from every book in one shot. We have to select books one by one.. this method will always result in books being ommmitted given our deal flow.
Michelle is in charge of this process. We need a IT person on this yesterday. Michelle is spending most of her day verifying the validity of the report she generates. Robyn, Russell, and I check it everyday.. there are always mistakes.
2. There is a breakdown in the backoffice functions after Michelle collects the tickets we write and verbally confirms them. There is no check after they have been imput. There are ALWAYS imput errors. Michelle needs to check every deal after its entered into the system going forward.
We also have NO set procedures for the bookings of deals. We have no idea where our job ends and the book admin's starts.. for non standard deals like gas dailies and swaptions we need to know the exact process from start to finish.
2a. Confirms are sent immediately after deals are entered.. what if deals are imput incorrectly? the confirm goes out anyway resulting in mass confusion at the client. Going forward, confirms need to be delayed until we can confirm that everything about the deal is correct.
2b. Invoicing.. there have been dozens of occassions where the amounts we are invoicing do not match the deals done..
3. EOL- We are pushing hard to get counterparties on here.. we have signed Renaissance up (a 10B program fund) but I shudder to see how EOL will fair at these tasks.
4. Credit- All of our clients are margined. If deals are in the system incorrectly, the wrong MTM goes to the client.. another mis-match. We work closely with credit since we need to collect initial margin from some clients.. this amount changes daily- we need someone who can get on the phone with clients and explain these numbers through.. again, we are doing this now.

also in terms of headcount, elimination of dupplication means reduced costs....do we really need to be hiring 100 analysts a year.......? where are we going to put them all
