All-

Pursuant to our meeting yesterday, regarding the captioned matter, I have
prepared a brief summary of the general issues, which are likely to be of
interest to EOL and may be discussed in the meeting today with Andy Zipper.

Please feel free to add any points that you deem appropriate.

1. The Links:

A link from Envera's site to EOL will be created. The link would only be to
the home page of EOL. There would be no effect upon normal EOL vetting
procedures for counterparties.

A link from Envera's site to Deal Bench will be created. Again the link
would only be to the home page of Deal Bench. The Envera member companies
would be required to follow normal Deal Bench registration of participants,
however, such parties during 1Q 2000, would be permitted to engage in two
free transactions on Deal Bench, with a maximum of 25 such free transactions
in total. Presently, it is still under consideration as to whether such
access would be to the auction area, or the collaboration area, or some
variation thereof. The fees to be charged post 1Q 2000 are under
consideration.

2. Trades

On a case-by-case basis, with no preexisting commitment, EGM would consider
requests from Envera customers to make trades on a contingent basis on EOL.
In the event that such trade is considered promising, then such pricing would
be posted on EOL. This would be free for the first 12 months, but thereafter
such service would be provided for a fee.

3. Envera Membership and Enron Services as Consideration for Envera Equity

EGM would pay between $300-500k for the ability to utilize the Envera hub to
do deals for the period of [one year].

Some portion of the fee may also be considered as payment for equity in
Envera LLC. The Enron services provided (points 1. and 2. above, as well as
access to Enron risk management and utility outsourcing ) will also be
considered as payment for some portion of the Envera LLC equity. The total
equity received, is anticipated to be around five percent and the
capitalization of the company is believed to be around $50,000,000. The
breakdown for the consideration for the equity still needs to be reviewed
from the accounting side.

4. Board Seat Considerations

Discussion regarding Enron obtaining an Envera Board seat has been
discussed. The fiduciary risks need to be considered, as we may be
restricted in competing with Envera, unless certain steps are taken. For
example, if Commodity Logic were to be considered a competitor to Envera,
unless we had the specific right to compete we could be subject to suit by
Envera. These risks may be negated through negotiation.

The upside here would be the ability to have access to executives of certain
petrochemical companies who are also shareholders in Envera and have Board
seats. It is believed that this type of access would likely lead to more
deals for EGM and potentially for other Enron entities.

Unrelated to the Board seat, other promotional activities relating to Enron's
services are foreseen through activities at Trade Shows and other networking
venues.

5. Building Connectivity Between Envera and Enron

It will be necessary to consider what activities, from the technical side,
would be undertaken by Envera and what activities would be undertaken by
Enron, to achieve the stated objectives, i.e. linking.

6. Press Release

Envera is likely to want to make a public statement regarding this
transaction with Enron. The restrictions on the scope of such announcement
must be considered.

I hope this is helpful.
