Travis McCullough Enron North America Corp. 1400 Smith Street EB 3817 Houston Texas 77002 Phone: (713) 853-1575 Fax: (713) 646-3490 ----- Forwarded by Travis McCullough/HOU/ECT on 06/15/2000 12:31 AM ----- "Hodgson, Stephen" <shodgson@velaw.com< 06/13/2000 06:27 PM To: "McCullough, Travis (Enron)" <travis.mccullough@enron.com< cc: "Borgman, Steve" <SBorgman@velaw.com< Subject: Enron Online Hi Travis, I work with Steve Borgman, and we met at your offices in a meeting with Dave Forster concerning Enron Online. In studying the material we received from Dave, we noticed that a company called Agency.com delivered a project overview for Enron Online in about June, 1999. Please confirm: (1) Agency.com assigned any rights they may have to Enron Corp; (2) there were no non-confidential disclosures outside of Enron or any discussions with any potential customers or trading partners before the release of brochures in October, 1999; and (3) any confidential disclosures are covered by a written confidentiality agreement. The Agency.com paper states that after the test phase, the system would be released to a select set of internal and external users for three weeks to ensure the system worked properly. What is the earliest these external users may have been contacted? Would traders have known about Enron Online last summer, and could a trader have discussed its concepts with someone outside Enron? As you know, we have one year in the U.S.A. to file a patent application after public use, public disclosure, or offer to sell. Is there any possibility that a disclosure of the concept for Enron Online could have been disclosed nearly one year ago? Please telephone Steve Borgman or me. Thanks. Steve Stephen S.
