February 03, 2004

To All PLUG Employees,

At the end of 2003, we announced several changes to the way we will work 
across our PLUG organization. I am writing today to provide an update on 
our progress and share additional information that will help us deliver 
our growth goals in 2004 and beyond.

Over the past few months, we’ve examined how we can best organize to 
leverage PLUG’s and PDXLUG's relevant capabilities, resources and scale 
in the U.S. to drive growth and effectively address the current market 
reality for our customers and consumers. Based on our discussions to 
date, the following changes will take place in our organization over the 
next several months:

· Effective February 3, 2004, PLUG functions will continue to be part of 
the PLUG Leadership Team located at U.S. Headquarters, which will remain 
in Portland, Oregon.

· David Mandel has elected to retire in March 2004 after 10 years of 
service with the company. Jeme Brelin, VP Sales and Propaganda, will now 
assume responsibility for all PLUG Sales. Jeme will report to me as a 
member of the PLUG Leadership Team.

· Dan Haskel has elected to retire in November 2004 after 9 years of 
service with the company. In the interim, he will report to me, taking 
on a new role that involves providing assistance throughout the 
transition and support for special projects. Russell Senior will 
following along just because he would miss Dan.

· The following changes will also take effect immediately within our 
organization

- PLUG will now be known as 'Portland Little Unit Group'

- Medical Marijuana will be prescribed to all employees during the 
standard work day.

- Employees under the age of 18 are now 18.

- All members will purchase shares of PLUG when I make shares available.

- Servers will be turned over to the respective owner, me.

- Cliff Wells will be in charge of the Flame Dept

In addition, we will be establishing a joint PLUG and PDXLUG working 
team to help us determine how best we can work together to leverage our 
combined capabilities going forward. The team will be led by TacoDog, 
reporting to myself and Cliff Wells. TacoDog will first assemble a team 
of senior leaders representing both PLUG and PDXLUG, and then hold a 
preliminary meeting in late February. The team will be tasked with 
developing recommendations and sharing their findings by July 2004. We 
will provide you with an update once these recommendations have been 
made. In the meantime, if you have any questions, I encourage you to 
reach out to your local PLUG leaders.

As we begin the new year, reigniting growth remains our number one 
priority. I want to thank you for your commitment to our business and 
for remaining focused on achieving our growth goals.

Best regards,

Robby Russell
President
PLUG - 'Portland Little Unit Group'
