Here is the indemnity information in the ENA articles of incorporation. Once
you open it, there is a place on the bottom of your screen to go to page 32, which contains the indemnity. Let me know if you have any questions.

Michelle Earline Kendall 10/24/2000 03:20 PM To: Michelle Cash/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Re: D&O Information Yes, it will cover former officers. The officer has two routes of protection. First he has the Enron Corporate indemnity that will pay for his defence and any judgements according to the indemnity agreement (between him and Enron) He needs to see the indemnity agreement given him when he became an officer. The insurance policy will reimburse Enron for the defence and judgements made against the officer paid under the indemnity . To recap the officer should be provided a copy of the Corporate Indemnity and a summary page of the D&O policy. If it were me I would be very comfortable with an Enron Indemnity in my hands and the D&O insurance as back up. The indemnity is very broad. There may even be things that the Corporation has agreed to pay for that the D&O policy does not. Since I do not know the nature of the allegations - the protection afforded the officer is subject to the terms of the indemniy and the D&O policy. Criminal acts are excluded Does this help? Earline Kendall Michelle Cash 10/24/2000 10:17 AM To: Earline Kendall/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Re: D&O Information Earline, does this apply to former officers for acts taken during their employment here at Enron? Do we have a problem in giving a former officer a copy of either your summary of the relevant provisions of the policy itself to alleviate any concerns he may have about cooperating in litigation based on actions that occurred during his employment? There is high interest in getting this resolved asap. Thank you! Michelle Earline Kendall 10/20/2000 02:15 PM To: Michelle Cash/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: D&O Information The D&O policy is designed to respond to claims alleging wrongful acts of the directors and officers. "Wrongful acts:, as defined in the policy include actual or alleged: Breach of Duty Neglect Error Misstatement Misleading Statement Omission of a director or officer while acting individually or collectively in their capacity as a director or officer or claimed against them solely by reason of being a director or officer." Any of the above could potentially support a claim of negligence but the legal requirements to prove negligence, i.e., duty, breach of duty, cause, proximate cause and damages would have to be met. Claims against directors and officers which could relate to negligence include: Negligent Misrepresentation Corporate Mismanagement Breach of Fiduciary Duty Waste of Corporate Assets Negligence Per Se from violation of statute or regulation These are as you know general comments. Claims and coverage therefore must be considered in light of the facts at hand as they relate to the terms and conditions of the entire insurance policy.
