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
