          Petitioner’s April 21, 2004, Deposition                                     
               In connection with additional litigation in the Louisiana              
          courts, this time in a suit to rescind the 1986 sale of LPP stock           
          by Julian E. to petitioner (together with the first Louisiana               
          litigation, the Louisiana litigation), petitioner was deposed on            
          April 21, 2004, by plaintiffs’ counsel.  During the deposition,             
          petitioner testified that she executed a promissory note to                 
          Julian E. in consideration for 19 shares of LPP stock.  In                  
          testifying as to the manner in which she made payments on that              
          note, the following exchanges occurred between petitioner and               
          plaintiffs’ counsel:                                                        
               A [Petitioner]:     Okay, the payments to my father                    
                                   were made on my behalf through                     
                                   Long’s Preferred Products.                         
               Q [Counsel]:        In other words, you are saying that                
                                   the corporation paid your note, is                 
                                   that correct, that was owed to your                
                                   father?

                                   from my father was paid on my                      
                                   behalf through the corporation, and                
                                   that was the way that my father and                
                                   my brother and myself talked about                 
                                   having it done.
