Unless we have bought something that I'm not aware of, I don't believe TW or
NN has any assets or operations in Louisiana and therefore should not be
subject to the referenced tax. As far as other jurisdictions, I don't expect
that we'd have a problem with in-kind payment as an additional payment
option. On TW, which has no fuel tracker, in kind tax payment probably
wouldn't help us. Northern does have a fuel tracker, however, and might
avoid adverse earnings impact from tax volatility if we could pay those taxes
in kind and stick them in the tracker. We probably couldn't do that until
the next rate case, however, because all current taxes are built into our
base rates at some representative level.

There is a proposal concerning paying the Louisiana Use (Sales) Tax by using
in-kind rather than paying cash. Please see the attached memo below giving
