I am certain that we do not have any current matters with this firm. You will note that they do not appear on our list of approved counsel. We typically use Reed Smith in Pittsburgh. I do know some people at this firm if I can be of any assistance. I went to law school with Artie Rooney at Duquesne University. You may know that his family owns the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let me know the particular attorney you are having difficulty with and I will help in any way can. By the way, New Power's ads have hit the airwaves in Pittsburgh. I am enrolling as a New Power customer! Thanks, Marty Vicki Sharp 12/08/2000 10:30 PM To: Marty Keyser/EFS/EES@EES cc: Subject: Outside Counsel - Klett Rooney Marty, I assume we do not have a relationship with this firm. Please let me know if I am incorrect. ---------------------- Forwarded by Vicki Sharp/HOU/EES on 12/08/2000 09:58 PM --------------------------- James Derrick@ENRON 12/08/2000 07:24 PM To: Rob Walls/NA/Enron@Enron, Mark E Haedicke/HOU/ECT@ECT, Kristina Mordaunt/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, Vicki Sharp/HOU/EES@EES cc: Marc Manly/HOU/EES@EES Subject: Outside Counsel - Klett Rooney Please let Marc Manly know of any relationship your group has with the firm mentioned below.

Does the Enron family have any relationships with the Klett Rooney law firm that we should bring to their attention? In all events, please be aware that they are taking a particularly adverse position. Thanks. Marc ---------------------- Forwarded by Marc Manly/HOU/EES on 12/07/2000 01:09 PM --------------------------- From: Joe Halprin on 12/07/2000 11:08 AM CST To: Marc Manly/HOU/EES@EES cc: Subject: Outside Counsel - Klett Rooney Marc: In connection with a dispute regarding a commercial arrangement between NewPower and Campus Dimensions, Inc. (also known as College Credit Card Corporation), Campus Dimensions, Inc. ("CDI") has engaged the law firm Klett Rooney Lieber & Schorling - headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA - to represent them against NewPower. Klett Rooney has conducted themselves in a fashion that I would consider to be particularly unreasonable. I would like to know if Enron has a relationship with Klett Rooney or CDI. If they do, I would recommend that the firm be removed from further engagements. Thanks.
