Subject: RE: Edith Cross Kim - Berney and I are having lunch with Edith today. My plan is to only pursue a contract if she would commit to helping us work through the issues down here for a specified time (1 year) with the plan to then move her either into a commercial EES marketing role or back to ENE in a more commercial role. If we do not get that commitment I do not feel that I should be the individual pursuing a contract. I will provide you with feedback and direction after our lunch. Thanks, Rogers -----Original Message----- From: Presto, Kevin M.

Edith was very clear when I talked to her that she wanted to transition into a marketing role where she would interact directly with customers. -----Original Message----- From: Herndon, Rogers Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 8:54 AM To: Presto, Kevin M. Subject: Edith Cross Kevin - I had a discussion with Berney last night re: Edith. I think we need to consider putting her under contract. I would really like to try to entice her to help us for 12 months and I think if she were given some economic incentive or assurance we might have a chance. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is where she can add the most value to Enron. Ultimately, I would like to be able to promote individuals like Edith out into the EES marketing/sales staff to represent Enron on the front lines commercially. Despite where she goes, I think a contract is probably a wise move for Enron and always makes a person feel good and keeps them motivated. Also, I think hearing some assurances from you and/or Lavo would probably be appropriate with her. She knows how Berney and I feel but there is no real guarantee in our assurances yet. Thanks, Rogers Another guy we need to think about is Mark Ulrich in the URM team - this guy is outstanding and I want to shield him from other parts of ENE.
