Hello -- We have i2's signature on the VBN network contract. The contract is a 3-year VBN deal covering certain i2 locations in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and India. The TCV of the deal is $14.8 million. This is one of the first major external VBN deals for Enron and has been instrumental in shaping the VBN offering. It also brings an anchor network client to our Tokyo and India sites. The interactions with i2 on this agreement have also contributed to our understanding of which BOS features are most desired by customers. The i2 deal is the result of a lot of hard work and persistence by a number of folks throughout EBS and other Enron groups. Just about everyone in EBS' Technology Channels Group contributed to the i2/Enron relationship that culminated in the network deal. Particular thanks to Mike Haney who led the team through multiple iterations of the deal structure. Special thanks to David Berberian, Erin Wesling, and Brad Harris who spent lots of time on the contract and the network design work with i2. Thanks also to LaRence Snowden, Tony Gilmore, and Beaven Fernandez of TDS, Steve McCarrel of Legal, Wayne Gardner of Tax, and Laura Leibman of Regulatory who helped throughout the course of the deal structuring and to Everett Plante, Larry Ciscon, and Kenny Burroughs and their teams who provided input on BOS and network topics. In addition, thanks to the Enron India team who supported the deal throughout the design and negotiation process. i2 has remarked often on the professionalism and collaborative spirit of the Enron team throughout this process. Enron is now i2's preferred network provider, and we are poised to provide the rest of i2's data network worldwide as soon as the design specifications are completed by i2. Thanks again to the entire team on your success. Best regards. -- Rex
