I'm told that the advice from Japanese counsel was recieved yesterday but I haven't read it yet. I don't anitcipate any problems. I can't tell from these e-mails if they are talikng about sending out initial packets on May 11 or going live for Japanese counterparties then (all of whom must then have already executed PAs and been approved).

Sounds like a good excuse for a party. Joe I am getting in touch with Thomas/Chismar in Singapore to ensure they are prepared. Also our list of potential contacts is being refined and would hope to have it relatively complete by early next week. Our local PR firm has suggested that we translate the basic EOL brochure into Japanese. We are moving forward with this. I do not expect to require any further localization at this point. Our local attornies are getting back before the end of the week with final comments on the plan, contracts, etc. Joe Louise Kitchen@ECT 03/16/2000 03:10 AM To: Joseph P Hirl/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT cc: John Ambler/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT Subject: Re: Timing of EOL Introduction Its my birthday - May 9. But if those are the dates OK.

Joe ---------------------- Forwarded by Joseph P Hirl/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT on 03/13/2000 03:50 PM --------------------------- Enron International From: John Ambler 03/11/2000 01:28 PM To: Joseph P Hirl/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT cc: Nicholas O'Day/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT Subject: Timing of EOL Introduction Joe, In talking with Nick yesterday evening, I learned that most people are off in Japan during the week of May 1. April 29 and May 3 through 5 are all national holidays (Greenery Day, Constitution Day, National Holiday and Children's Day respectively). Furthermore, Nick advises that many people start the holiday week early and stretch it into the following week. This makes our selection of May 1 week for EOL a most unsatisfactory choice. I would recommend that we shoot for May 10 or 11 (which would conflict with possible high profile participation in an APEC meeting, which I'll be managing) or preferably the week of May 15. We could introduce EOL earlier, but publicity would be reduced given Rebecca's schedule for interviews and lead time for printing/mailing promotional packets. It would be very tight, but we could do it the week of April 24. Rebecca could provide overview interviews, supplemented by an EOL demonstration and your explanation of how this provides a platform to build our business. Do you have preferences/limitations from a business activity perspective? Unless you object, on Monday I'll get recommendations from our PR firm and also check Louise's availability/desire to be part of the EOL introduction. John
