Wade:
I hope things are going well for you. It was good to see you the other day. I'm not even sure where you are right now, but I imagine that you are checking your e-mail, wherever you are. I was hoping you could give us a little guidance on tracking down some Indian legal issues -- perhaps a reference to someone that could assist us. Clickpaper.com is Enron's electronic trading marketplace for pulp, paper and lumber products (including derivative products). It is modeled after EnronOnline, but specializes in these commodities. The team is in the process of registering customers around the world to access and trade on the Clickpaper website; in keeping with the EOL business model, Clickpaper enters into access and trading agreements with every customer that govern their use of and trading on the site. Those access and trading agreements are "jurisdiction specific" -- customized for the particular country in which the customer accessing the site is based -- in order to deal with jurisdiction-specific legal issues associated with accessing, or contracting via, the internet, financial trading, regulatory issues, etc. The team has identified India as having a large number of potential customers, and is attending a trade show in New Delhi in early December, and they would like to be able to sign customers up at that trade show, or at the very least arrange to give them access to the site. We therefore need to consult with legal counsel in India to identify any issues and prepare an apporpriate access and trading agreement. EnronOnline has developed a due diligence checklist which is very helpful in describing our business model and raising specific legal issues that we are likely to encounter. Could you refer me to in-house counsel or an outside firm that could assist us with this project on an expedited basis (isn't that always the case here)? I would really appreciate any help you could give to us. To the other recipients of this message -- I know that there are several people working on this project -- if you already have this project underway, please let Wade and I know so we aren't duplicating your efforts.
