The state income tax expense of $18 million for 2009 includes a benefit of approximately $12 million, net of federal income tax effect, related to adjustments in prior years’ state estimates.  Changes in the Texas State Franchise Tax Law (Texas margin tax) resulted in classifying Texas margin tax of approximately $8 million and $10 million, net of federal income tax effect, as income tax expense in 2008 and 2009, respectively, for CenterPoint Houston.  The state income tax benefit of $10 million for 2007 includes a benefit of approximately $30 million, net of federal income tax effect, as a result of the Texas margin tax and a Texas state tax examination for the tax years 2002 and 2004.</font></div> <div style="DISPLAY: block;
