Distribution".  Enron will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Shares
hereunder.  See "Use of Proceeds".

discounts given may be regarded as underwriting discounts under the Securities
Act.

                 The Common Stock is traded on the NYSE, the Pacific Stock

                            BUSINESS OF ENRON CORP.

                 Enron, a Delaware corporation organized in 1930, is an
integrated natural gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Essentially all
of Enron's operations are conducted through its subsidiaries and affiliates
which are principally engaged in the gathering, transportation and wholesale
marketing of natural gas to markets throughout the United States and
internationally through approximately 44,000 miles of natural gas pipelines;
the exploration for and production of natural gas and crude oil in the United
States and internationally; the production, purchase, transportation and
worldwide marketing of natural gas liquids and refined petroleum products; the
independent (i.e., non-utility) development, promotion, construction and
operation of natural gas-fired power plants in the United States and
internationally which use combined cycle and cogeneration technology to
generate electricity and steam; and the purchasing and marketing of long-term
natural gas commitments.

                 Natural Gas Pipelines. Enron and its subsidiaries and
affiliates operate pipelines extending from Texas to the Canadian border, and
across the southern United States from Florida to California. Included in
Enron's natural gas operations are four major pipeline companies: Northern
Natural Gas Company ("Northern"), Florida Gas Transmission Company ("Florida
Gas") (indirectly 50% owned by Enron), Transwestern Pipeline Company
("Transwestern") and Houston Pipe Line Company ("Houston Pipe Line").
Northern, Florida Gas and Transwestern are interstate pipelines and are subject
to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Each pipeline serves customers in a specific geographical area: Northern, the
upper Midwest; Florida Gas, the State of Florida; and Transwestern, principally
the southern California market. At the intersection of these three interstate
pipelines is Houston Pipe Line, located in Texas. Houston Pipe Line is an
intrastate pipeline that serves the natural gas needs of a variety of
industrial customers, utilities and natural gas companies. The Railroad
Commission of Texas has jurisdiction over intrastate gas rates, operations and
transactions in Texas.

                 Gas Services. Enron Gas Services Corp. and its affiliated
companies ("EGS") purchase natural gas through both short-term and long-term
gas contracts, other contractual arrangements, and production payment
transactions, and market natural gas to local distribution companies, electric
utilities, cogenerators and both commercial and industrial end-users. In
connection with its physical natural gas transactions, EGS also provides price
risk management services to these customers through both physical delivery and
financial arrangements. EGS transports its gas utilizing the services of
third-party pipeline companies and Enron affiliated pipelines.

                 Power. Enron, through its subsidiary companies, is involved in
the independent (i.e., non utility) development, promotion, construction,
acquisition and operation of natural gas-fired power plants which use combined
cycle and cogeneration technology to generate electricity and steam.
Enron/Dominion Cogen Corp., an operation owned 50% by an Enron subsidiary, owns
the 340 megawatt Clear Lake facility in Pasadena, Texas and the 450 megawatt
Texas City, Texas plant and is a partner in a 300 megawatt facility in Bayport,
Texas. Enron also has a 50% ownership interest in Teesside Power Limited, a
joint venture cogeneration company which owns a 1,875 megawatt independent
power facility at ICI Chemicals & Polymers Limited's Wilton Works Plant in
northeast England. The remaining 50% ownership interest is held by four of the
twelve regional electric companies operating in England. In addition, Enron
affiliated companies have developed diesel fired power plants for projects in
developing countries, where the development, engineering design and
construction are done on an accelerated basis in order to address severe power
shortages. Enron subsidiaries have interests in power facilities in Guatemala
and the Philippines with a total generating





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   6
capacity of approximately 215 megawatts. Enron is currently evaluating
potential power development projects in India, Turkey, Kuwait and Germany.

                 Oil and Gas Exploration and Production. Enron's natural gas
and crude oil exploration and production operations are conducted through its
subsidiary, Enron Oil & Gas Company ("Enron Oil & Gas"). Enron currently owns
80% of the outstanding common stock of Enron Oil & Gas. Enron Oil & Gas is one
of the largest independent (non-integrated) oil and gas companies in the United
States in terms of domestic proved reserves. Enron Oil & Gas is engaged in the
exploration for, and development and production of, natural gas and crude oil
reserves primarily in major producing basins in the United States and, to a
lesser extent, in Canada and selected other international areas.

                 Liquid Fuels. Certain Enron subsidiaries are engaged in the
extraction, purchase, transportation and wholesale marketing of natural gas
liquids (propane, ethane, butane and natural gasoline). Liquid fuels operations
also include the production and marketing of methyl tertiary butyl ether. Enron
Liquids Pipeline, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership in which Enron owns an
approximately 15% interest, among other things owns and operates an
approximately 1,600 mile common carrier pipeline that transports natural gas
liquids from the Midwest and Rocky Mountain producing areas to various
midwestern markets.

                 Enron, a Delaware corporation, has its principal executive
offices at 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, and its telephone number is
713-853-6161.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

                 The Selling Stockholder will receive all of the net proceeds
from the sale of the Shares owned by it.  Enron will not receive any of the
proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered hereby.

                              SELLING STOCKHOLDER

                 The Belfer Estate may own up to 955,640 shares of Common
Stock.  Robert A. Belfer, a director of Enron, is the executor and a
beneficiary of the Belfer Estate.  Pursuant to an agreement entered into in
connection with the Belfer Estate's exchange of Convertible Preferred
Stock for Common Stock held by the Trust, Enron will pay all expenses in
connection with the registration and sale of Shares, except any selling
commissions or discounts or brokerage commissions allocable to sales of the
Shares, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Selling Stockholder and any
stock transfer taxes payable by reason of any such sale.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

                 The Selling Stockholder may sell Shares from time to time in
transactions (which may involve block transactions) on the NYSE or the Midwest
or Pacific Stock Exchanges, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, or a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices or at negotiated prices; provided, that such transactions will not
include an underwritten public offering.  If Shares are sold through brokers,
the Selling Stockholder may pay customary brokerage commissions and charges.

                 In connection with any sales, any broker-dealer participating
in such sales may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act.  Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed
to any such broker-dealer, and if any such broker-dealer purchases





                                      -5-
<PAGE>   7
Shares as principal, any profits received on the resale of such Shares, may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
The Belfer Estate is entitled under an agreement with Enron to indemnification
by Enron against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.  In addition, the Selling Stockholder may indemnify any
broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of Shares
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

                 The holders of the Preferred Stock, Second Preferred Stock and
Preference Stock have no voting rights except as specifically required by
statute and except for certain voting rights specifically provided in Enron's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificates of Designation
creating the various series of such classes of stock.  In general, a vote of at
least two-thirds of a class, voting as a class, is required to effect (a) any
change in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   8
which affects adversely the voting powers, rights or preferences of such class
(if only certain series are affected, separate votes by the series affected are
required); (b) the authorization or creation of, or the increase in the
authorized amount of, any stock of any class, or any security convertible into
stock of any class, ranking prior to such class; (c) the voluntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of Enron, or the sale, lease or
conveyance by Enron of all or substantially all of its property or assets; or
(d) the purchase or redemption of less than all of such class unless the full
dividend on all such shares has been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for
payment thereof set apart.  In addition, the vote of a majority of a class,
voting as a class, is required (i) to increase the authorized amount of such
class, or the authorization or creation of or the increase in the authorized
amount of, any stock of any class, or any security convertible into stock of
any class, ranking on a parity with such class; or (ii) to approve mergers or
consolidations, except under certain conditions.  Further, the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of Enron provides that, in the event dividends
payable on any such class shall be in default in an amount equivalent to six
full quarterly dividends, then the holders of such class, voting separately as
a class, shall be entitled to elect two directors of Enron until such time as
such dividends shall have been paid or funds sufficient therefor deposited in
trust.

                 The annual rate of dividends payable on shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock is $10.50 per share, payable quarterly on the first
days of January, April, July and October.  These dividend rights are superior
to the dividend rights of the Common Stock.

                 The Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of
Enron at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $100.00 per
share together with accrued dividends to the date of distribution or payment.
Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 13.652 shares of
Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder.

                 The amount payable on shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock in the event of any involuntary or voluntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of Enron is $100.00 per share, together with accrued
dividends.

COMMON STOCK

                 So long as any shares of Preferred Stock, Second Preferred
Stock or Preference Stock shall be outstanding, no dividends, whether in cash
or property, shall be paid or declared, nor shall any distribution be made, on
the Common Stock, nor shall any shares of any Common Stock be purchased,
redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by Enron, nor shall Enron permit any
distribution to be made on any Common Stock or shares of Common Stock
purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by any subsidiary, unless all
dividends on the Preferred Stock, Second Preferred Stock and Preference Stock
of all series for all past quarterly dividend periods and for the then current
quarterly period shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof set apart, and unless Enron shall not be in arrears with
respect to any sinking fund requirement for any such shares. The foregoing
provisions shall not, however, apply to a dividend payable in Common Stock, or
the acquisition of shares of Common Stock in exchange for or through
application of the proceeds of the sale of, shares of Common Stock.

                 Subject to the prior rights of the Preferred Stock, the Second
Preferred Stock and the Preference Stock, the shares of Common Stock of Enron:
(a) are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors
out of funds legally available therefor; (b) are entitled to one vote per
share; (c) have no preemptive or conversion rights; (d) are not subject to, or
entitled to the benefits of, any redemption or sinking fund provision; and (e)
are entitled upon liquidation to receive





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   9
the assets of Enron remaining after the payment of corporate debts and the
satisfaction of the liquidation preferences of the Preferred Stock, Second
Preferred Stock and Preference Stock.

CERTAIN OTHER PROVISION OF ENRON'S RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

                 The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Enron limits the
liability of directors of Enron (in their capacity as directors but not in
their capacity as officers) to Enron or its stockholders to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law.  Specifically, directors of Enron will not be
personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to Enron or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.

                 Enron's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a "fair
price" provision which generally requires that certain mergers, business
combinations and similar transactions with a "Related Person" (generally the
beneficial owner of at least 10 percent of Enron's voting stock) be approved by
the holders of at least 80 percent of Enron's voting stock, unless (a) the
transaction is approved by at least 80 percent of the "Continuing Directors" of
Enron, who constitute a majority of the entire board, (b) the transaction
occurs more than five years after the last acquisition of Enron voting stock by
the related person or (c) certain "fair price" and procedural requirements are
satisfied. Enron's Restated Certificate of Incorporation defines "Business
Transaction" as (a) any merger or consolidation involving Enron or a subsidiary
of Enron, (b) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (in one
transaction or a series of transactions), including without limitation a
mortgage or any other security device, of all or any Substantial Part of the
assets either of Enron or of a subsidiary of Enron, (c) any sale, lease,
exchange, transfer or other disposition of all or any Substantial Part of the
assets of an entity to Enron or a subsidiary of Enron, (d) the issuance, sale,
exchange, transfer or other disposition by Enron or a subsidiary of Enron of
any securities of Enron or any subsidiary of Enron, (e) any recapitalization or
reclassification of Enron's securities (including without limitation, any
reverse stock split) or other transaction that would have the effect of
increasing the voting power of a Related Person, (f) any liquidation, spinoff,
split off, split up or dissolution of Enron, and (g) any agreement, contract or
other arrangement providing for any of the transactions described in this
definition of Business Transaction. Continuing Director is defined to mean a
director who either was a member of the Board of Directors of Enron prior to
the time such Related Person became a Related Person or who subsequently became
a director of Enron and whose election, or nomination for election by Enron's
stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the
Continuing Directors then on the Board, either by a specific vote or by
approval of the proxy statement issued by Enron on behalf of the Board of
Directors in which such person is named as nominee for director, without an
objection to such nomination; provided, however, that in no event shall a
director be considered a "Continuing Director" if such director is a Related
Person and the Business Transaction to be voted upon is with such Related
Person or is one in which such Related Person otherwise has an interest (except
proportionately as a stockholder of Enron).

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

                 Section 145 of Chapter 1 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code
provides that every corporation created under the provisions thereof shall have
the power to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against
certain liabilities.

                 The Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of
Enron contains the following provisions relating to indemnification of
directors and officers:

                          "1.  A director of the Corporation shall not be
                 personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for
                 monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
                 except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty
                 of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for
                 acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
                 intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
                 under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or
                 (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
                 improper personal benefit.

                          2.  (A)  Each person who was or is made a party or is
                 threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action,
                 suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
                 investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the
                 fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the
                 legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the
                 Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
                 Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
                 another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust
                 or other enterprise, including service with respect to
                 employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding
                 is alleged action in an official capacity as a director,
                 officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while
                 serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be
                 indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
                 fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation
                 Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in
                 the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such
                 amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
                 indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation
                 to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense,
                 liability and loss (including





                                      II-1
<PAGE>   12
                 attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
                 penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
                 reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
                 therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a
                 person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or
                 agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs,
                 executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except
                 as provided in paragraph (B) hereof, the Corporation shall
                 indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in
                 connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
                 such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was
                 authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The
                 right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a
                 contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the
                 Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such
                 proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
                 however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law
                 requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director
                 or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer
                 (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
                 rendered by such person while a director or officer,
                 including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit
                 plan) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding,
                 shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
                 undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to
                 repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
                 determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be
                 indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The Corporation
                 may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide
                 indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation
                 with the same scope and effect as the foregoing
                 indemnification of directors and officers.

                          (B) If a claim under paragraph 2(A) of this Article
                 XVI is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days
                 after a written claim has been received by the Corporation,
                 the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
                 Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
                 successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled
                 to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It
                 shall be a defense to any such action ( other than an action
                 brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending
                 any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the
                 required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to
                 the Corporation ) that the claimant has not met the standards
                 of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware
                 General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the
                 claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving
                 such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure
                 of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
                 independent legal counsel, or its stockholders ) to have made
                 a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
                 indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
                 because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct
                 set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an
                 actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board
                 of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders)
                 that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of
                 conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a
                 presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable
                 standard of conduct.

                          (C) The right to indemnification and the payment of
                 expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its
                 final disposition conferred in this Section shall not be
                 exclusive of any other right which any person may have or
                 hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the
                 Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of
                 stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

                          (D) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
                 expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee
                 or agent of the Corporation or another corporation,
                 partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
                 any such expense, liability or loss, whether or





                                      II-2
<PAGE>   13
                 not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such
                 person against such expense, liability or loss under the
                 Delaware General Corporation Law."

                 Enron has purchased liability insurance policies covering its
directors and officers to provide protection where Enron cannot legally
indemnify a director or officer and where a claim arises under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 against a director or officer based on
an alleged breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful act.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

                 The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                 (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                          (i)     To include any prospectus required in Section
                                  10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                                  Statement;

                          (iii)   To include any material information with
                                  respect to the plan of distribution not
                                  previously disclosed in the Registration
                                  Statement or any material change to such
                                  information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by Enron Corp. pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

                 (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post effective amendment that contains a
form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

                 (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering; and

                 (4)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Enron Corp.'s annual report pursuant to
section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15
above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

February 3, 1994


Enron Corp.
1400 Smith Street
Houston, Texas   77002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                 I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Enron Corp.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and I have advised the Company in
connection with the registration, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form
S-3 being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of the
offering by the Selling Stockholder (as defined in the Registration Statement)
of up to 955,640 outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.10 per share (the "Common Stock").

                 In this connection, I have examined the corporate records of
the Company, including its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
its Bylaws and minutes of meetings of its directors.  I have also examined the
Registration Statement, together with the exhibits thereto and such other
documents as I have deemed necessary for the purpose of expressing the opinion
contained herein.

                 Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Common
Stock is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                 I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and to the use of my name in the Prospectus
forming a part of the Registration Statement under the caption "Validity of
Securities".  In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I am within
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Very truly yours,



JAMES V. DERRICK, JR.
Senior Vice President and General Counsel
