11 April

Enrique Valero, our onsite project management, just sent the attached note.
Most urgently, payday for about 300 employees is tomorrow, and the employees
are expecting this check before the Easter holy week holiday starts.

If possible without violating the order, , we would like to get the employees
paid. Bob, I can't remember how we solved this last time out, but I remember
it was an issue. Please call so we can discuss.

John:

Please give further advise as how to operate down here in Tampico. We are in
the middle of (3) Projects, where we (Enron/Cigsa) have commitments to pay
out that are project related:
Labor
Labor Taxes
Materials
Consumables
Import Duties
Miscellaneous
Payment for Transportation of Structures (Barge/Tug)

The funds to pay the above are in CIGSA Construccion's name, although I am
one of the two authorized signatures in the bank, and no funds can be moved
unless I sign a check.

What is the impact of the below message on the above categories?

Also, what about when we CIGSA/Enron/ODB (CAByL) receive payments? CIGSA
invoices CAByL and then the money is wired to Enron. What is the impact on
this?

Please advise as soon as possible.

Regards,
EV

Please see John Schwartzenburg's note below. We are to halt any further
payments to, or on behalf of, CIGSA, effectively immediately until further
direction by Mike Pearson.

Subject: URGENT STOP PAYMENT: Writ of Garnishment of money due CIGSA served
on EECC on April 10

EECC has just been served with a writ of garnishment from the 333rd Judicial
District Court of Harris County in connection with a judgment against
certain CIGSA entities. In the writ, the court very unambiguously and very
plainly commands that EECC is not to pay any debt or deliver any property to
CIGSA pending further orders from the court. The writ was issued to enforce
an judgment for $1.3 million awarded by the court against CIGSA in favor of
Richard P Estrada. EECC is also commanded to appear before the court and list
all funds/assets in our possession that might belong to CIGSA, and to
disclose what other persons we know ofif any, that might have such funds or
assets. The lawyer for Mr. Estrada is the same lawyer who successfully
garnished EECC in the past to collect sums owed other CIGSA judgment
creditors.

Please take this prohibition as applying even to cases where CIGSA might be
entitled to the money or the property under our contracts with them, or where
the funds or property are in joint venture acounts or custody in the US or
Mexico until we have had a chance to review matters in detail and make a more
accurate assessment. In the meantime, effective immediately, do not make ANY
payments to or on behalf of, or release ANY property to or on behalf of, any
CIGSA entity without first obtaining legal department approval. The court may
impose penalties for violations of its garnishment order.

We will assemble an appropriate litigation team to work onthis matter. Randy
Pais will be handling this for EEOS legal. I suggest that Mike Pearson and
Mark Brand get the word out to the Project Management and Project Control
teams on this matter ASAP.
