&lt;p style="FONT-FAMILY: times"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;On July&amp;nbsp;1, 2009,
we acquired CLT&amp;nbsp;Efficient Technologies Group (CLT). We include
CLT as part of our other nonregulated businesses and have reported
its results of operations in our consolidated financial statements
since the date of acquisition. CLT is an energy services company
that provides energy performance contracting and energy efficiency
engineering services.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="FONT-FAMILY: times"&gt;
&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We
acquired 100% ownership of CLT for $21.8&amp;nbsp;million, including
direct costs, of which $20.8&amp;nbsp;million was paid in cash at
closing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
