Over the past few months we've been evaluating other service= =20 providers to find out if it would be in Enron=01,s best interests, both=20 financially and from a service point of view, to change registered agents. = =20 We met with the Litigation Unit to ensure that service of process needs wou= ld=20 be met and, hopefully, exceeded, and we talked with representatives of Enro= n=20 tax departments re online information designed to assist the tax preparatio= n=20 procedures. We tested all aspects of the proposed services to our=20 satisfaction, and we worked assiduously with the successful candidate to=20 ensure Enron-user-friendly websites. We anticipate that there will be a=20 saving to Enron of approximately $126,000 per year which will be passed=20 directly to your cost centers. After much kicking of the tyres we're=20 terminating our relationship with CT Corporation System in favor of Nationa= l=20 Registered Agents, Inc. ("NRAI"). NRAI will prepare, file, and absorb all= =20 costs associated with the Change of Registered Agent. We anticipate that t= he=20 majority of Delaware Change of Registered Agent filings will be effective b= y=20 the end of January but be aware that some other states take several months = to=20 handle filings. The database will reflect the change of registered agent as= =20 we receive evidence of filings. As part of the process a free status check= =20 will determine the good standing of all Enron entities. We'll be happy to= =20 pass these good standing certificates on to the relevant tax departments. CT Corporation will remain as agent for those historical entities that were= =20 voluntarily dissolved or withdrawn, and for contracts or agreements where C= T=20 Corporation was named as registered agent for service of process (unless=20 legal counsel decides to amend the terms.) NRAI, a New Jersey-based company, was formed 5 years ago by ex-Prentice Hal= l=20 managers. It is now the third largest provider of registered agent service= s=20 in the country. It has a very strong, modern technology platform that=20 enables it to respond quickly and effectively to its clients' needs, and it= =20 offers a full range of nationwide Corporate, Uniform Commercial Code and=20 Registered Agent services, and free, unrestricted access to its expansive= =20 document library containing over 6,000 savable forms, official documents an= d=20 information charts. =20 We will continue to provide document ordering services as before but for=20 those of you whose staff prefer to place their own orders please ask them t= o=20 contact me by email so that I can provide access information to the online= =20 NRAI website so that your department can realize the cost savings we have= =20 negotiated. NRAI is offering training in how to use its website; please as= k=20 your staff to contact me so we can set up a combined training session. Please let me know if you would like more information on NRAI or on any of= =20 the services they provide. Happy Holidays!
