Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-From: "Dave Noble" X-To: Stanley Horton X-cc: X-bcc: X-Folder: \Stanley_Horton_1\Notes Folders\Discussion threads X-Origin: HORTON-S X-FileName: shorton.nsf Cindy, Thank you for returning the message. I did intend it for Bob Stearns...sorry about the mix up! As you have probably seen from our exchange of emails, Stan had asked me to keep him apprised of any attractive investment opportunities I came across. I took it from Stan's last message that he may or may not be interested in Bob's fund, Sternhill, at this time but he would at least like to meet Bob (hence the email to Bob that you received instead). As you could see from the email, I have asked Bob to contact Stan and to mention my name so that you would have a reference for his call. You should, therefore, expect Bob to be calling (probably today) and please let Stan know that this was the fellow I had mentioned in my message to him. Thank you and happy holidays, Dave Noble -----Original Message----- From: Cindy_Stark@enron.com [mailto:Cindy_Stark@enron.com]On Behalf Of Stanley_Horton@enron.com Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 1999 7:10 AM To: Dave Noble Subject: RE: How's this for responsiveness?

Assistant to Stan Horton "Dave Noble" on 12/20/99 07:40:59 PM To: Stanley Horton/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: RE: How's this for responsiveness? Bob, I should have checked farther down my email. It looks like he is on the fence but you ought to go ahead and contact him any way. Stan runs all of Enron's operations world wide and is a good friend. You should be able to reach him through Enron's main number (713-853-6161) and say that Dave Noble said to call when you reach him.

Stan "Dave Noble" on 12/17/99 10:43:12 AM To: Stanley Horton/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: How's this for responsiveness? Stan, Per your interest in putting some money to work, we will not be raising a new fund until next fall at the earliest but I wanted to let you know about another situation that might be of interest to you. A good friend and former client at Compaq, Bob Stearns, is putting together a fund to invest in early stage technology deals. Bob was SVP of technology and business development at Compaq for several years but left when the crazies took over (all of whom got fired, I might add). Since I value my friendships too much, I don't generally recommend people unless I really believe in who they are and what they are doing. Bob is top notch, which is why I would feel comfortable recommending him to you and would be very pleased to introduce you to Bob because you are top notch as well. I thought Bob had closed his fund already but he said he was going to have a second closing in about 30 days so there is still time to get in if you are interested. The typical investment is in the $500k to $1m range although I know of one person who got in for $250k. ( I introduced him to Frevert and Rice and they have both invested.) Bob is still in Houston and offices over in the Galleria area. If you would like to talk to Bob, let me know when and where you can be reached and I will forward your information to him. Dave
