       *  All investments shown as limited partnerships are limited partnership
          interests with no voting power. All LLC interests are in

     (a)  Millennium Pipeline Management Company, L.P. holds a 1% general
          partner interest in Millennium Pipeline Company, L.P.

     (b)  NiSource does not consolidate either general partnership because it
          does not control either partnership, directly or indirectly and does
          not have an interest greater than 50%. All interests comprising these
          partnerships are general partnership interests. For Chicago South

          has a 60% general partnership interest. For the Wellingshire Joint

          interest.

ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

PART III(a). COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

NOMINATING AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Nominating and Compensation Committee's compensation policy is designed to
relate total compensation (base salary, annual incentives and long-term
stock-based compensation) to corporate performance. This policy applies to all
of the Named Officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, as of December 31,
2002. The Committee discusses and considers executive compensation matters, then
makes recommendations to the full board of directors, which takes the final
action on these matters. The board of directors accepted all of the Committee's
recommendations in 2002.

The Committee has engaged Hewitt Associates, an independent compensation
consulting firm, to advise it and provide surveys of comparative compensation
practices for (1) a group of energy-oriented companies, including electric, gas
or combination utility companies, diversified energy companies and companies
with gas marketing, transmission and distribution operations and energy services
operations, and (2) a diversified group of companies representing general
industry. The 2002 executive compensation comparative groups consisted of 37 and
36 companies, respectively, from which data was available to Hewitt and which
the Committee believed to be competitors of the Company for executive talent.
The Committee may change the companies contained within the comparative
compensation groups in future years if information about any company included in
a group is not available, any companies included in a group are no longer
competitors for executive talent, or if the Committee determines that different
energy or other types of companies are competitors of the Company. The Company's
comparative compensation groups include some, but not all, of the companies that
make up the Dow Jones Utilities Index used in the Stock Price Performance Graph
and consist of a larger number of companies than contained in the index.

The Committee considers the surveys provided by Hewitt in determining base
salary, annual incentives and long-term stock-based compensation. The
Committee's philosophy is to set conservative base salaries at or near the
medians of the energy and general industry comparative groups, and to supplement
them with restricted/contingent stock awards and performance-based variable
compensation in the form of annual incentives under the Annual Incentive Plan
and option grants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan. This mix of compensation
allows an executive's annual total compensation to fluctuate according to the
Company's financial performance. Through the use of stock options and annual
incentives, the Committee continues to provide a performance-based component to
compensation. The Company's long-term incentive awards are stock-based (for
example, stock options, restricted stock awards and contingent stock awards) to
emphasize long-term stock price appreciation and the concomitant increased
stockholder value. In 2002, total compensation of the executive officers was
targeted between the 50th and the 75th percentile of the relevant comparative
compensation group.

In establishing Mr. Neale's base salary for 2002, the Committee reviewed
information provided by Hewitt regarding the chief executive officer
compensation practices of comparable utility and energy companies. The Committee
determined to set base salary near the median salary of the comparative group,
giving regard to Mr. Neale's proven abilities and strong performance with the
Company since joining it as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
in 1989. As with the other executive officers, Mr. Neale's total compensation
was targeted to be between the 50th and the 75th percentile of the relevant
comparative compensation group, depending upon the Company's financial
performance. As with the other executives, Mr. Neale's annual incentive under
the Annual Incentive Plan is based on the Company's performance against certain
financial performance targets established by the Committee. As part of his total
compensation package Mr. Neale also received stock options in 2002 as part of
the company's stock option program under which awards are made to various
management employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Because the value of
the options to Mr. Neale is a function of the price growth of the company's
stock, the amount Mr. Neale would realize from his options is tied directly to
increases in shareholder value.

                                       31



ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

The Committee determines annual incentive targets for all executive officers in
accordance with the Annual Incentive Plan. Each year, the Committee approves
certain financial performance targets to be included in the formula set forth in
the Annual Incentive Plan for awarding annual incentives. Annual incentives
awarded to each of the Named Officers (including the Chief Executive Officer)
are based on overall corporate performance, rather than individual performance
of the executive. In 2002, targets were based on earnings per share, while in
2003, targets will be based on net income from continuing operations. The Annual
Incentive Plan establishes a threshold level of financial performance (below
which no annual incentive is paid), a target level, and a maximum level (above
which no additional annual incentive is paid). The range of awards and levels of
awards (as a percent of base salary), if financial performance thresholds are
achieved, are as follows:



                                                       Range                  Award if Targets Met
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        
Chief Executive Officer                           40.0% to 120.0%                      80.0%
Vice Chairman                                     35.0% to 105.0%                      70.0%
Chief Operating Officer                           35.0% to 105.0%                      70.0%
President and Executive Vice Presidents           32.5% to  97.5%                      65.0%
Other Vice Presidents                             20.0% to  75.0%             40.0% to 50.0%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Committee determined that the Company would have met the threshold set under
the Annual Incentive Plan had the Company not taken a charge to earnings in
connection with the Company's decision to exit the telecommunications business,
a business acquired by the Company as part of the acquisition of Columbia Energy
Group. Therefore, while the Company's actual earnings per share in 2002 were
lower than threshold, the Committee awarded the Company's eligible employees,
including the executive officers, a discretionary bonus which in each case was
less than the minimum annual incentive that would have been paid if threshold
had been met under the Annual Incentive Plan.

In addition to base salaries and annual incentives, executive officers are also
eligible to receive stock-based awards under the Company's Long-Term Incentive
Plan. Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Committee may award stock options,
stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock awards,
contingent stock awards and dividend equivalents. The Committee considers base
salaries of the executive officers, prior awards under the Long-Term Incentive
Plan, and the Company's total compensation target in establishing long-term
incentive awards. For purposes of determining the number of options and/or
shares to be granted to reach total target compensation, options granted to
executive officers are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at
the time of grant and restricted stock awards and contingent stock awards
granted to executive officers are valued using Hewitt's present value pricing
model. In 2002, stock options were awarded to each of the Named Officers, and
the number of options granted to each Named Officer was based on these
considerations. The compensation value of stock options depends on actual stock
price appreciation.

The Committee's compensation policy continues to be re-evaluated in order to
ensure that the executives' total compensation packages align with and support
the Company's business objectives while also aligning the interests of the
executive officers with the Company's performance as well as the interests of
its stockholders. In that regard, the Committee believes that compensation
packages should emphasize long-term growth and stability, while continuing to
provide incentives for short-term appreciation. As such, the Company's long-term
stock-based compensation has become more focused on grants of restricted stock
and contingent stock, with longer vesting and holding periods, versus stock
options. The ratio of the value of the contingent/restricted stock awards to
option grants is now approximately 75% to 25%. While historically contingent and
restricted stock awards contained certain performance vesting criteria (and
grants of contingent stock made in 2000 and 2001 still contain these performance
criteria), these vesting criteria resulted in variable, mark to market
accounting treatment, requiring quarterly adjustments to net income that were
not reflective of the Company's financial performance from operations. The
Committee determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders to retain, as part of the total compensation package, grants of
restricted and contingent stock which were tied to the performance of the
Company, but that avoided the negative impact associated with variable
accounting treatment.

                                       32



ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

Therefore, beginning in 2003, grants of restricted stock and contingent stock
under the Long Term Incentive Plan will be made pursuant to a new Time
Accelerated Restricted Stock Award Program ("TARSAP"). Restrictions with respect
to awards will lapse at the end of a three-year performance cycle if the Company
meets both a peer group target and an absolute target. For the performance cycle
commencing on January 1, 2003 and ending on December 31, 2005 the peer group
target is a 60th percentile for relative total shareholder return ranking and
the absolute earnings target is a 12% annualized compound total shareholder
return. If both of the targets are not met, restrictions with respect to an
award will not lapse at the end of a three-year performance cycle but will lapse
on the sixth anniversary of the date of grant of the award. The TARSAP program
provides a compensation component, which aligns the Company's interest in stable
long-term growth and the stockholders' interests in tying executive compensation
to Company performance.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that compensation in excess
of $1,000,000 per year paid to the chief executive officer or any of the other
Named Officers, other than compensation meeting the definition of "performance
based compensation," will not be deductible by a corporation for federal income
tax purposes. Because a significant portion of total compensation is performance
based and certain executives have agreed to limitations on the amount of certain
grants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, which can vest in any year, the
Committee does not anticipate that the limits of Section 162(m) will materially
affect the deductibility of compensation paid by the Company in 2002. However,
the Committee will continue to review the deductibility of compensation under
Section 162(m) and related regulations.

The Committee believes that its overall executive compensation program has been
successful in providing competitive compensation sufficient to attract and
retain highly qualified executives, while at the same time encouraging increased
performance from the executive officers, which creates additional stockholder
value.

         restricted shares awarded under the Long-Term Incentive Plan which
         vested during the years shown. The amounts shown for 2000 for Messrs.
         Neale, Adik, Yundt and Mulchay include amounts attributable to the
         restricted stock awards granted in 1998 for which performance
         requirements were waived by the Nominating and Compensation Committee.
         Total restricted shares held (assuming 100% vesting) and aggregate
         market value at December 31, 2002 (based on the average of the high and
         low sale price of the common stock on that date as reported on the New
         York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Tape) for the Named Officers
         were as follows: Mr. Neale, 441,563 shares valued at $ 8,760,609; Mr.
         Adik, 151,492 shares valued at $3,015,521; Mr. O'Donnell, 31,033 shares

         Zimmerman, 43,884 shares valued at $870,658; Mr. Mulchay 79,743 shares
         valued at $1,582,101; and Mr. Yundt, 78,281 shares valued at
         $1,553,095. Dividends on the restricted shares are paid to the Named
         Officers.

(5)      The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, the Vice Chairman,
         and certain Group Presidents of the Company have available to them a
         supplemental life insurance plan which provides split-dollar coverage
         of up to 3.5 times base compensation as of commencement of the plan in
         1991 and could provide life insurance coverage after retirement if
         there is adequate cash value in the respective policy. "All Other
         Compensation" represents Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan and
         the dollar value of the benefit to the Named Officers under the
         supplemental life insurance plan, as follows: Mr. Neale-$1,065 401(k)
         Plan, $14,213 premium value and $3,549 term insurance cost; Mr.
         Adik-$1,110 401(k) Plan, $2,004 premium value and $1,378 term insurance
         cost; Mr. Mulchay-$4,988 401 (k) Plan, $3,067 premium value and $1,101
         term insurance cost; Mr. Yundt-$1,221 401 (k) Plan, $1,949 premium
         value and $956 term insurance cost; Mr. Wyckoff-$ 1,221 401(k) Plan;
         and, Ms. Zimmerman-$1,221 401 (k) Plan. The value of the life insurance
         premiums paid by the Company in excess of term insurance cost on behalf
         of the Named Officers under the supplemental life insurance plan has
         been restated for all periods in accordance with the present value
         interest-free loan method. The amount shown for 2002 for Mr. O'Donnell
         includes $11,000 paid by Columbia Energy Group to its Employee Savings
         Plan and $ 13,000 paid by Columbia Energy Group to its Employee Savings
         Restoration Plan.

(6)      The amounts shown for 2000 for Mr. O'Donnell include 10 months of
         compensation paid to Mr. O'Donnell in his capacity as Senior Vice
         President and Chief Financial Officer of Columbia Energy Group prior to
         the acquisition of Columbia Energy Group by the Company and 2 months of
         compensation paid to Mr. O'Donnell in his capacity as Executive Vice
         President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

(7)      The compensation reported represents perquisites and other personal
         benefits as discussed in note (3) as well as phantom stock units
         granted to Mr. O'Donnell pursuant to an agreement under which the
         Company established a phantom stock unit account for his benefit which
         consisted initially of 73,020 units in consideration of his acceptance
         of employment and 26,533 units in consideration of his willingness to
         enter into a non-competition agreement with the Company. A phantom
         stock unit is a unit whose value is related to the value of the common
         stock of the Company. Mr. O'Donnell is entitled to receive dividend
         equivalents with respect to the units in either cash or additional
         units. Upon termination of employment, Mr. O'Donnell

                                       35



ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

         (or his beneficiary) will be entitled to receive from the Company a
         cash distribution in an amount, with respect to each unit credited to
         his account, equal to the greater of (i) the price per share of the
         Company's common stock at the close of business on the date of
         termination, and (ii) 85% of the price per share of the Company's
         common stock on November 1, 2000. The 26,533 units credited to Mr.
         O'Donnell's account in connection with the non-competition portion of
         the agreement, and any dividend equivalents paid thereon, are subject
         to forfeiture in the event that Mr. O'Donnell violates the
         non-competition provisions of the agreement at any time during the term
         of the agreement or for a period of one year following his termination.
         The amount shown represents the value of the phantom stock units
         granted pursuant to the Phantom Stock Agreement based on the closing
         sale price of the common stock on December 31, 2001, as reported in The
         Wall Street Journal.

(8)      During 2000, Ms. Zimmerman worked as a consultant for the Company in
         its Human Resources Department. The amount shown as salary for 2000
         represents the compensation Ms. Zimmerman received from the Company
         with respect to such consulting services.

(9)      Mr. Wyckoff is also President of Primary Energy, Inc. and EnergyUSA-TPC
         Corp.

(10)     Mr. Mulchay was Group President, Merchant Energy until his retirement
         from that post on January 31, 2003. Mr. Mulchay was also President of
         Northern Indiana Public Service Company during 2000. Mr. Yundt was
         Group President, Energy Distribution until his retirement from that
         post on January 31, 2003. Mr. Yundt was also President of Bay State Gas
         Company during 2000. As part of the negotiation of their respective
         retirement agreements, each of Messrs. Mulchay and Yundt received a
         bonus for services provided in 2002. The bonus amount shown for 2002
         for both Messrs. Mulchay and Yundt represents the negotiated bonus that
         each executive received. One half of each of Messrs. Mulchay's and
         Yundt's bonus for 2000 was determined based on the financial
         performance of the business units for which they were responsible.

Option Grants in 2002. The following table sets forth information concerning the

ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

(1)      All options granted in 2002 are fully exercisable commencing one year
         from the date of grant. Vesting may be accelerated as a result of
         certain events relating to a change in control of the Company. The
         exercise price and tax withholding obligation related to exercise may
         be paid by delivery of already owned shares of common stock, subject to
         certain conditions.

(2)      Based on an aggregate of 2,190,745 options granted to all employees in
         2002.

(3)      The options were granted at the average of high and low sale prices of
         the common stock on January 25, 2002, as reported on the New York Stock
         Exchange Composite Transactions Tape.

(4)      Grant date present value is determined using the Black-Scholes
         option-pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option
         pricing model for the January 25, 2002 grants (expiring January 24,
         2012) were as follows: expected volatility - 30% (estimated stock price
         volatility for the term of the grant); risk-free rate of return - 5.04%
         (the rate for a ten-year U.S. treasury); discount for risk of
         forfeiture - 10%; estimated annual dividend - $1.16; expected option
         term - ten years; and vesting - 100% one year after date of grant. No
         assumption was made relating to non-transferability. Actual gains, if
         any, on option exercises and common shares are dependent on the future
         performance of the common stock and overall market condition. The
         amounts reflected in this table may not be achieved.

OPTION EXERCISES IN 2002. The following table sets forth certain information
concerning the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights during 2002 by
each of the Named Officers and the number and value of unexercised options and

The credited years of service for each of the Named Officers (other than Mr.
O'Donnell), pursuant to the Pension Plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan, are as follows: Gary L. Neale - 28 years; Stephen P. Adik - 24 years;
Patrick J. Mulchay - 40 years; Mark D. Wyckoff - 11 years; S. LaNette Zimmerman
- 22; and Jeffrey W. Yundt - 23 years.

Upon their retirement, regular employees and officers of the Company and its
subsidiaries which adopt the plan (including directors who are also full-time
officers) will be entitled to a monthly pension in accordance with the
provisions of the Company's pension plan, originally effective as of January 1,
1945. The directors who are not and have not been officers of the Company are
not included in the pension plan. The pensions are payable out of a trust fund
established under the pension plan with The Northern Trust Company trustee. The
trust fund consists of contributions made by the Company and the earnings of the
fund. Over a period of years the contributions are intended to result in overall
actuarial solvency of the trust fund. The pension plan of the Company has been
determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be qualified under Section 401 of
the Internal Revenue Code.

                                       38



ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

The pension plan was amended and restated effective July 1, 2002 to add a "cash
balance feature." Participants in the plan as of December 31, 2002 were entitled
to elect to remain in the "final average pay feature" of the plan or to begin
participating in the new cash balance feature. Participants hired on and after
January 1, 2002 automatically participate in the cash balance feature. A
participant in the cash balance feature will have a benefit consisting of his or
her opening account balance (his or her accrued benefit under the final average
pay feature of the plan as of December 31, 2002, if any) plus annual pay and
interest credits to his or her cash balance account. Pay credits equal a
percentage of compensation based on the participant's combined age and service.
Interest is credited to his or her account based on the interest rate on 30-year
treasury securities, as determined by the Internal Revenue Service, for the
September immediately preceding the first day of each year, but not less than
4%. Upon retirement, termination of employment or death, the participant or his
or her beneficiary will receive a benefit that is the equivalent of his or her
cash balance account balance. Participants and beneficiaries are entitled to
elect to receive payment of this benefit pursuant to various alternatives
including a lump sum option.

Pension benefits are determined separately under the final average pay portion
of the plan for each participant. The formula for a monthly payment for
retirement at age 65 is 1.7% of average monthly compensation multiplied by years
of service (to a maximum of 30 years) plus 0.6% of average monthly compensation
multiplied by years of service over 30. Average monthly compensation is the
average for the 60 consecutive highest-paid months in the employee's last 120
months of service. Covered compensation is defined as wages reported as W-2
earnings (up to a limit set forth in the Internal Revenue Code and adjusted
periodically) plus any salary reduction contributions made under the Company's
401(k) plan, minus any portion of a bonus in excess of 50% of base pay and any
amounts paid for unused vacation time and vacation days carried forward from
prior years. The benefits listed in the Pension Plan table are not subject to
any deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts.

The Company also has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which applies to
those officers, and other employees selected by the board of directors to
participate in the plan. Benefits from this plan are to be paid from the general
assets of the Company.

The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan provides a retirement benefit at age
65 of the greater of (i) 60% of five-year average pay (prorated for less than 20
years of service) and an additional 0.5% of 5-year average pay per year for
participants with between 20 and 30 years of service, less Primary Social
Security Benefits or (ii) the benefit formula under the Company's Pension Plan.
In either case, the benefit is reduced by the actual pension payable from the
Company's Pension Plan. In addition, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
provides certain early retirement and disability benefits and pre-retirement
death benefits for the spouse of a participant.

Mr. O'Donnell continues to participate in the Retirement Plan of Columbia Energy
Group, a subsidiary of the Company. Mr. O'Donnell has 30 credited years of
service under this plan. The formula for a retiree's monthly retirement benefit
at age 65 under the Retirement Plan of Columbia Energy Group is (i) 1.15% of the
retiree's final average compensation that does not exceed 1/2 of the average
Social Security wage base times years of service up to 30, plus (ii) 1.5% of the
retiree's final average compensation in excess of 1/2 of the average Social
Security wage base times years of service up to 30, plus (iii) .5% of the
retiree's final average compensation times years of service between 30 and 40.
In addition, Mr. O'Donnell participates in Columbia Energy Group's Pension
Restoration Plan which provides for a supplemental retirement benefit equal to
the difference between (i) the benefit he would have received under the
Retirement Plan had such benefit not been limited by section 401(a)(17) of the
Internal Revenue Code and reduced by his deferrals into the Columbia Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan, minus (ii) the actual benefit he received under the
Retirement Plan.

The Company has entered into an agreement with Ms. Zimmerman, which provides for
an additional retirement benefit in the event Ms. Zimmerman's employment with
the Company terminates either (i) due to death or disability prior to December
31, 2003, or (ii) for reasons other than her involuntary termination for good
cause after December 31, 2003. In either such event, Ms. Zimmerman's monthly
retirement benefit under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan will be
computed upon the assumption that her first day of service was January 1, 1981
and will be reduced by the amount of her retirement benefit that she receives
under the pension plan of her previous employer.

ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

CHANGE IN CONTROL AND TERMINATION AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into Change in Control and Termination Agreements with
Mr. Neale and the other Named Officers. The Company believes that these
agreements are in the best interests of the stockholders, to insure that in the
event of extraordinary events, totally independent judgment is enhanced to
maximize stockholder value. The agreements can be terminated on three years'
notice and provide for the payment of specified benefits if the executive
terminates employment for good reason or is terminated by the Company for any
reason other than good cause within 24 months following certain changes in
control. Each of these agreements also provides for payment of these benefits if
the executive voluntarily terminates employment for any reason during a
specified one-month period within 24 months following a change in control or, in
the case of Messrs. Neale and Adik, at any time during this 24 month period. No
amounts will be payable under the agreements if the executive's employment is
terminated by the Company for good cause (as defined in the agreements).

The agreements provide for the payment of three times the executive's current
annual base salary and target incentive bonus compensation. The executive will
also receive a pro rata portion of the executive's targeted incentive bonus for
the year of termination. The executive would also receive benefits from the
Company that would otherwise be earned during the three-year period following
the executive's termination under the Company's Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan and qualified retirement plans. All stock options held by the
executive would become immediately exercisable upon the date of termination of
employment, and the restrictions would lapse on all restricted stock and
contingent stock awards which have been made to the executive. The Company will
increase the payment made to the executive as necessary to compensate the
executive on an after-tax basis for any parachute penalty tax imposed on the
payment of amounts under the contracts.

During the three-year period following the executive's termination, the
executive and his or her spouse or other dependents will continue to be covered
by applicable health or welfare plans of the Company. If the executive dies
during the three-year period following the executive's termination, all amounts
payable to the executive will be paid to a named beneficiary.

The agreement with Mr. Neale provides for the same severance payments as
described above in the event his employment is terminated at any time by the
Company (other than for good cause) or due to death or disability, or if he
voluntarily terminates employment with good reason (as defined in the
agreement), even in the absence of a change in control.

In connection with Mr. Yundt's retirement, the Company agreed to pay to Mr.
Yundt an enhanced retirement benefit equal to the excess of (1) the retirement
benefit Mr. Yundt would have received under the SERP, the Company's Pension Plan
and Northern Indiana Public Service Company's Pension Plans, as in existence on
January 31, 2003, as if Mr. Yundt had (i) reached age 60 and completed 25 years
of service under the plans as of January 31, 2003 and (ii) received the greater
of the threshold 2002 incentive bonus or his actual bonus, over (2) the
aggregate benefit that Mr. Yundt was otherwise entitled to receive under the
plans. Mr. Yundt's agreement also provides that, in the event that certain
change in control events occur within a specified period of time following his
date of retirement, Mr. Yundt would be entitled to receive the benefits set
forth in his existing change in control agreement, less any benefits he received
pursuant to his enhanced retirement benefit. Likewise, in connection with Mr.
Mulchay's retirement, the Company entered into a retirement agreement with Mr.
Mulchay entitling him to receive the benefits set forth in his existing change
in control agreement in the event that certain change in control events occur
within a specified period of time following his date of retirement, less any
benefits he received pursuant to his severance agreement.

COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS

The Company pays each director who is not receiving a salary from the Company
$30,000 for each year, $3,000 annually for each standing committee on which the
director sits, $1,000 annually for each committee chairmanship, $1,200 for each
board meeting attended and $750 per committee meeting attended. Under a deferred
compensation arrangement, directors may elect to have their fees deferred in the
current year and credited to an interest-bearing account or to a phantom stock
account for payment in the future.

                                       40



ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

The Company's Nonemployee Director Retirement Plan provides a retirement benefit
for each nonemployee director currently serving on the board who was originally
elected or appointed to the board prior to December 31, 2001, who has completed
at least five years of service on the board and who has not elected to opt out
of the plan. Directors who are first elected or appointed to the board after
2001 will not be eligible to participate in the retirement plan. The benefit
under the plan is a monthly amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual retainer
for board service in effect at the time of the director's retirement from the
board and will be paid for 120 months, or the number of full months of service
the individual served as a nonemployee director of the Company, whichever is
less. Directors first elected prior to 2001 who elected to opt out of the plan
in 2002 will receive, under the Company's Nonemployee Director Stock Incentive
Plan, as amended and restated effective as of July 1, 2002, restricted stock
units of comparable value to the present value of the retirement benefit such
director had earned under the retirement plan through June 30, 2002. Directors
who opt out of the retirement plan and directors first elected after 2001 will
not receive a retirement benefit under the retirement plan, but instead may
receive, at the discretion of the Nominating and Compensation Committee,
additional restricted shares of common stock and restricted stock unit grants
under the Company's Nonemployee Director Stock Incentive Plan to ensure that the
retirement benefit, together with other compensation paid to the nonemployee
director, delivers a competitive compensation package.

The Company's Nonemployee Director Stock Incentive Plan provides for a grant of
2,600 restricted shares of common stock to each nonemployee director of the
Company upon his or her election or re-election as a director of the Company.
The grants of restricted common stock vest in 20% annual increments, with all of
a director's stock vesting five years after the date of award. However, the
grants vest immediately upon the director's death, disability or retirement
after attaining age 70, or the effective date of a change in control of the
Company. In 2002, Messrs. Rolland, Thompson and Young each received a grant of
2,600 restricted shares of common stock under this plan. The board may designate
that a scheduled award will consist of nonqualified stock options rather than
restricted stock; if so, then, in lieu of restricted shares, each nonemployee
director shall be granted a nonqualified option to purchase 7,800 shares of
common stock. Grants of nonqualified stock options vest in 20% annual increments
and become fully vested on the fifth anniversary of the date of the grant. The
grants will vest immediately upon the director's death, disability or retirement
after attaining age 70, or the effective date of a change in control of the
Company.

Pursuant to the proposed amendments to the Company's Nonemployee Director Stock
Incentive Plan, the incentive plan will also provide for grants to nonemployee
directors of restricted stock units that have a value related to the Company's
common stock. These restricted stock units had previously been granted to
nonemployee directors under the Company's Nonemployee Director Restricted Stock
Unit Plan; however, under the proposed amendments to the incentive plan, the
provisions of the Restricted Stock Unit Plan regarding the grants of such
restricted stock units will be merged into the incentive plan. Under the
Restricted Stock Unit Plan, each nonemployee director received an initial grant
of 500 units in April 1999. Thereafter, each nonemployee director received, upon
his or her election or re-election to the board, an additional grant of units,
which beginning in 2002, was increased to 600 units. Pursuant to the proposed
amendments, the additional grants of 600 units to each nonemployee director upon
his or her election or re-election to the board will be made under the incentive
plan. The grants of units vest in 20% annual increments, with all of a
director's units vesting five years after the date of award. The grants vest
immediately upon the director's death, disability or retirement after attaining
age 70, or the effective date of a change in control of the Company. Additional
units are credited to each nonemployee director with respect to the units
included in his or her account from time to time to reflect dividends paid to
stockholders of the Company with respect to common stock. The units have no
voting or other stock ownership rights and are payable in shares of the
Company's common stock. In 2002, Messrs. Rolland, Thompson and Young each
received a grant of 600 units.

The Company has adopted a Directors' Charitable Gift Program for nonemployee
directors. Under the program, the Company makes a donation to one or more
eligible tax-exempt organizations as designated by each eligible director. The
Company contributes up to an aggregate of $125,000 for each nonemployee director
who has served as a director of the Company for at least five years and up to an
additional $125,000 (for an overall $250,000) for each nonemployee director who
has served ten years or more. Organizations eligible to receive a gift under the
program include charitable organizations and accredited United States
institutions of higher learning. Individual directors derive no financial
benefit from the program, as all deductions relating to the charitable donations
accrue solely to the Company. A director's private foundation is not eligible to
receive donations under the program. All current nonemployee directors are
eligible to participate in the program.

              (OTHER THAN A SYSTEM COMPANY) OR A COMPANY IN WHICH ANY OFFICER OR
              DIRECTOR IS A PARTNER OR OWN 5% OR MORE OF ANY CLASS OF EQUITY
              SECURITIES.

None.

PART III.     SYSTEM CONTRACTS WITH OTHERS ON A CONTINUING BASIS FOR MANAGEMENT,
              SUPERVISORY, OR FINANCIAL ADVISORY REVIEW.

None.

ITEM 9.  WHOLESALE GENERATORS AND FOREIGN UTILITY COMPANIES

PART I.       BUSINESS, CAPITAL, DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO AND SERVICE CONTRACTS.

(a)           Company, location and business address.

              Bay State GPE, Inc. (BSGPE)

              BSGPE, a Massachusetts corporation, at 300 Friberg Parkway,
              Westborough, Massachusetts is an EWG. It owns a turbo expander in
              Agawam, Massachusetts that generates electricity from a turbine
              engine as gas pressure is reduced when transferred from high
              pressure interstate pipelines to lower pressure local distribution
              pipes. BSGPE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bay State Gas.

              Whiting Clean Energy, Inc. (WCE)

              WCE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Primary Energy, Inc., is an EWG.
              WCE's business address is 801 E. 86th Avenue, Merrillville,
              Indiana. WCE leases a combined-cycle cogeneration facility located
              at BP's Whiting, Indiana refinery consisting of two gas-fired
              combustion turbines (each with a generating capacity of 166
              megawatts) and a 213-megawatt steam turbine generator. For
              financial reporting purposes, the facility and the associated debt
              are reported as if WCE owns the facility. WCE is responsible for
              the operation and maintenance of the facility.

(b)           Type and amount of capital invested.

              When BSGPE was incorporated, Bay State Gas acquired all of the
              issued and outstanding shares of BSGPE's common stock for $1,000.
              Bay State also transferred ownership of the turbo expander and
              related facilities to BSGPE at its net book value. Neither Bay
              State Gas, nor NiSource, Inc. has made any financial guarantee to
              any party for BSGPE.

              Primary Energy, Inc.'s investment in WCE consists mainly of its
              guarantee of WCE's performance under the lease through its parent
              NiSource Inc. The lease was initiated in the first quarter of
              2002. The unamortized value of the project amounts to
              approximately $318 million. However, for financial reporting
              purposes, NiSource owns the WCE facility and has approximately
              $329.8 of long-term debt on its balance sheet.

                                       47



ITEM 9.  WHOLESALE GENERATORS AND FOREIGN UTILITY COMPANIES (continued)

(c)           Ratio of debt to common equity and earnings of the company for the
              year ended December 31, 2002.

              As of December 31, 2002, BSGPE had no debt outstanding and for the
              calendar year 2002, the turbo expander did not operate and did not
              generate revenue. BSGPE had a net loss of $28,482 for 2002.

              WCE had $20.3 million in notes payable outstanding at December 31,
              2002 to NiSource Finance Corp. In addition, for financial
              reporting purposes, WCE had $329.8 million of debt outstanding to
              third parties. The debt to equity ratio for WCE at December 31,
              2002 is not meaningful since the company's equity capitalization
              is effectively zero. For 2002, WCE had a net loss of$20.9 million.

(d)           Service, sales or construction contracts with system companies.

              BSGPE currently has no service, sales or construction contracts
              with another system company.

              WCE has entered into maintenance and service agreements with
              Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) for performance
              of the operation and maintenance needs of WCE. WCE has compensated
              NIPSCO $2.2 million for these services. In addition, WCE purchased
              natural gas from TPC. WCE purchased $13.6 million of natural gas
              from TPC during 2002.

PART II.      ORGANIZATION CHART.

BSGPE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bay State Gas Company. WCE is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Primary Energy, Inc. Bay State Gas Company and Primary
Energy, Inc. are wholly owned subsidiaries of NiSource, Inc. See Exhibit G for
an organization chart showing BSGPE and WCE in relation to the other NiSource,
Inc. system companies.

PART III.     AGGREGATE INVESTMENT IN EWG'S AND FOREIGN UTILITY COMPANIES.

NiSource, Inc.'s aggregate investment in BSGPE is approximately $0.2 million and
its investment in WCE, as discussed in Part I(b), is approximately $329.8
million. The ratio of NiSource, Inc.'s aggregate investment in BSGPE and WCE to
its aggregate investment in its domestic public-utility subsidiary companies is
less than 1% based on the current book values of the utility subsidiaries.

           (a)    A U.S. consolidated federal income tax return shall be

                                      274



ITEM 10. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (continued)

EXHIBIT D. TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT FOR 2002. (CONTINUED)

         (b)      (i) The Consolidated Group will elect, on a timely basis,
in accordance with Code Section 1552(b) and Section 1.1552-1(c)(2) of the
Regulations to allocate its consolidated tax liability (other than alternative
minimum tax ("AMT") and its related credits) among its Members under the method
described in Sections 1.1502-33(d)(3) and 1.1552-1(a)(2) commencing with the
consolidated taxable year ended December 31, 2001. The fixed percentage to be
used for purposes of Regulations section 1.1502-33(d)(3)(i) is 100%. The general
effect of such method is to first allocate the consolidated tax liability among
the Members of the Consolidated Group on the basis of the percentage of the
total consolidated tax which the tax of such Member (other than AMT and its
related credits) if computed on a separate return basis would bear to the total
amount of the taxes (other than AMT and its related credits) for all Members of
the group so computed. Then such method allocates an additional amount (the "Tax
Benefit Amount") to each Member up to, but not greater than, the excess, if any,
of its Separate Return Tax liability (other than AMT and its related credits)
over the amount allocated to such Member in the previous sentence. The total of
the Tax Benefit Amounts allocated to Members shall result in payments to, and an
increase in the earnings and profits of, the Members who had items of deduction,
loss or credits to which such Tax Benefit Amount is attributable. This election
is intended to comply with Rule 45(c)(5) under the Act, as modified by Section
2(d) below.

         (ii) The allocation of the alternative minimum tax liability incurred
by the NiSource Group and the resulting minimum tax credit shall be allocated in
the manner set forth in Proposed and Temporary Treasury Regulation Sections
1.1502-55. This method generally allocates (i) any AMT paid by the NiSource
Group based on the relative separate adjusted AMT of each Member and (ii) the
minimum tax credit (AMTC) on the basis of the AMT previously assigned to such
Member and assuming that AMTC is utilized on a "first in/first out" methodology,
and that to the extent that AMTC arising in one year is not fully utilized, such
AMTC is utilized proportionately by the Members previously assigned AMT for that
year.

         (c)      Each Member's allocable share of the consolidated income tax
liability as determined in Section 2.1(b) hereby shall be used in both (i) the
determination of each Member's earnings and profits and (ii) determining the
amounts to be paid (as provided in Section 3.4 of this Agreement) by Members to
NiSource with respect to each Member's share of the Consolidated Group's Tax
liability and payments from NiSource to Members with respect to the use of a
Member's tax attributes.

         (d)      (i) The aggregate of all amounts paid by Members of the
Consolidated Group (the "Paying Members") as a result of the excess of each
Members' Separate Return Tax liability (as determined under Section
1.1552-1(a)(2)(ii) of the Regulations) over the amount allocated to such Member
as its share of the Consolidated Tax Liability under Code Section 1552 (i.e.,
the Tax Benefit Amount) shall be paid by NiSource to the other Members (the
"Loss Members") which had tax deductions, losses and credits to which such
payments by the Paying Members are attributable. The apportionment of such
payments among Loss Members shall be in a manner that reflects the Consolidated
Group's absorption of such tax attributes in the manner described in Section
2.1(e) below. The payments to the Loss Members for their tax attributes shall be
pursuant to a consistent method which reasonably reflects such items of loss or
credit (such consistency and reasonableness to be determined by the Designated
Official).

         (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 2.1(d)(i), the Tax
Benefit Amount allocated to NiSource and paid to NiSource as a result of its
being a Loss Member shall be limited to its Tax Benefit Amount determined
without regard to this section 2.1(b)(ii) multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is NiSource's interest deduction attributable to Acquisition
Indebtedness, and the denominator of which is the sum of all of NiSource's
deductions. The portion of NiSource's Tax Benefit Amount which cannot be
allocated and paid to NiSource due to the operation of this Section shall be
reallocated to Paying Members of the Consolidated Group other than NiSource in
accordance with the principles contained in section 2.1(b)(i).

         (e)      In apportioning the payments to Loss Members for the Tax
Benefit Amount pursuant to Section 2.1(d) hereof:

                  (i)      any consolidated net operating loss ("NOL") shall be
allocated among the group Members pursuant to Regulations Section 1.1502-21(b).
To the extent the consolidated NOL is carried back, any Member's individually
allocable NOL shall be deemed carried back and utilized in proportion to the
amount that the Member's NOL bears to the consolidated NOL. Analogous principles
shall apply in the case of NOL carryforwards;

                                      275



ITEM 10. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (continued)

EXHIBIT D. TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT FOR 2002. (CONTINUED)

                  (ii)     with respect to each type of credit used to offset
all or a portion of the Consolidated Tax Liability otherwise payable, such
credit shall be allocated among the Members by crediting to each Member an
amount of credit which that Member would have available to utilize on a separate
return basis in a manner consistent with the method set forth in Section
2.1(e)(i) above.

                  (iii)    the cost of any credit recapture which results in the
payment of tax shall be specifically allocated to the Member whose credit is
recaptured determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section
2.1(e)(i) above.

         (f)      The allocation of tax shall be subject to further adjustment
from time to time on account of the payment of additional tax or the receipt of
a refund attributable to either the filing of an amended return or on account of
the results of an audit conducted by the Internal Revenue Service or other
relevant taxing authority.

         Section 2.2       Other Taxes. (a) NiSource will prepare and file
(or cause to be prepared and filed) all returns of Other Taxes which are
required to be filed with respect to the operations of NiSource and its
subsidiaries. In the event any taxing authority requires or permits that a
combined, consolidated or unitary return be filed for Other Taxes, which return
includes both NiSource and a subsidiary, NiSource may elect to file such return
and shall have the right to require any Member to be included in such return.
NiSource will advise each of its subsidiaries included in each Other Return and
each governmental office in which any Other Return is filed. Other Taxes shall
be allocated among the NiSource Group in a manner that is consistent with the
method set forth in Article 2 hereof. Furthermore, amounts due to NiSource or
from NiSource, with respect to Other Taxes, shall be determined in a manner
consistent with Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(d).

         (b)      Each Member of the NiSource Group that does not file an Other
Return together with any other Member of the NiSource Group shall be solely
responsible and obligated to pay the tax liability with respect to such return
from its own funds. Such returns shall be prepared and filed by NiSource or the
Member filing the Other Return.

         (c)      If any Member of the NiSource Group is required to file a
combined, consolidated or unitary return for Other Taxes with another Member of
the NiSource Group, but not with NiSource (an "Other Taxes Subgroup"), then
NiSource shall have the rights, powers and obligations to file such tax returns
and apportion among and, collect and remit from, the applicable Members such
Other Taxes as the rights, powers and obligations given to NiSource under this
Agreement with respect to the Consolidated Tax Liability. Such returns shall be
prepared and filed by NiSource. If the right to file a combined, consolidated or
unitary return for Other Taxes is optional, then NiSource shall decide which of
its subsidiaries should, to the extent permitted by law, join in filing of such
return.

         Section 2.3       Member Tax Information. The Members of the
Consolidated Group shall submit the tax information requested by the Designated
Official of NiSource in the manner and by the date requested, in order to enable
the Designated Official to calculate the amounts payable by the Members pursuant
to Article 3 hereof.

                  RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAX; INTERCOMPANY PAYMENTS

         Section 3.1       Responsibility. Assuming the Members of the
Consolidated Group have fulfilled their obligations pursuant to this Article
III, then NiSource will be solely responsible for, and will indemnify and hold
each Member of the Consolidated Group harmless with respect to, the payment of:
(a) the Consolidated Tax Liability for each taxable period for which, as
determined under Section 2.1 hereof, NiSource filed a Consolidated Return or
should have been filed; and (b) any and all Other Taxes due or payable with
respect to any Other Return which is filed by NiSource or should have been
filed.

EXHIBIT D. TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT FOR 2002. (CONTINUED)

         Section 3.2       Federal Tax Payments. (a) With respect to each
Consolidated Return Year, the Designated Official of NiSource shall estimate and
assess or pay to Members of the Consolidated Group their share of estimated tax
payments to be made on a projected consolidated federal income tax return for
each year. In making this determination, NiSource shall elect a method for
determining estimated tax and each Member shall follow that method; provided,
however, under no circumstances shall a Loss Member be paid any amount described
in Section 2.1(d) until a date after which NiSource has filed the Consolidated

         Consolidated Return for such Consolidated Return Year. Such Members
will pay, to NiSource or be paid by NiSource, such estimates not later than the
15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th and 12th months of such Consolidated Return Year.
With respect to any extension payment, the Designated Official of NiSource shall
estimate and assess or pay to Members of the Consolidated Group their share of
such extension payment. The difference between (1) a Member's estimated tax
payments used for computation of the quarterly estimated payments plus their
extension payments and (2) such Member's actual Tax Liability for any
Consolidated Return Year as determined under Section 2.1(b) hereof, shall be
paid to NiSource or by NiSource within sixty (60) days after the filing of the
consolidated federal income tax return.

                  (b)      NiSource shall have sole authority, to the
exclusion of all other Members of the Consolidated Group, to agree to any
adjustment proposed by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority with respect to items of income, deductions or credits, as well as
interest or penalties, attributable to any Member of the Consolidated Group
during any Consolidated Return Year in which such Member was a Member of the
Consolidated Group notwithstanding that such adjustment may increase the amounts
payable by Members of the Consolidated Group under this Section 3.2 or Section
3.3 hereof. In the event of any adjustment to the Consolidated Tax Liability
relating to items of income, deductions or credit, as well as interest or
penalties, attributable to any Member of the Consolidated Group by reason of an
amended return, claim for refund or audit by the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority, the liability of all other Members of the Consolidated
Group under paragraphs (a) of this Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 hereof shall be
redetermined to give effect to such adjustment as if such adjustment had been
made as a part of the original computation of such liability, and payment from a
Member to NiSource or by NiSource to a Member, as the case may be, shall be
promptly made after any payments are made to the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority, refunds received or final determination of the matter in
the case of contested proceedings. In such event, any payments between the
parties shall bear interest at the then prevailing rate or rates on deficiencies
assessed by the Internal Revenue Service or any other relevant taxing authority,
during the period from the due date of the Consolidated Return (determined
without regard to extensions of time for the filing thereof) for the
Consolidated Return Year to which the adjustments were made to the date of
payment.

         Section 3.3       Other Tax Payments. Payments by a Member with
respect to Other Taxes and required estimates thereof for which any other Member
has joint and several liability shall be calculated and made by or to such
Member in the same manner as that provided in Section 3.2. The principles set
forth in Section 3.2 governing the determination and adjustment of payments as
well as the method of payment to or from such Member with respect to federal
income taxes shall be equally applicable in determining and adjusting the amount
of and due date of payments to be made to or from such subsidiary with respect
to Other Taxes and estimates thereof. Each Member shall pay, directly to the
appropriate taxing authority, all taxes for which such Member is liable and for
which no other Member has joint or several liability.

         Section 3.4       Payment Mechanics. (a) Any payments to be made by a
subsidiary of NiSource pursuant to Section 2.1, 2.2, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof shall be
made by such subsidiary to NiSource by either promptly crediting as an offset
against amounts owed to such Member by NiSource or to the extent no amounts are
owed to such Member by NiSource, by cash payments to NiSource. To the extent any
payments are to be made to a subsidiary with respect to the use of such
subsidiary's tax attributes by the Consolidated Group pursuant to Section 2.1,
2.2, 3.2 or 3.3 hereof, NiSource shall make such payment to such subsidiary by
either promptly crediting as an offset against amounts owned by such Member to
NiSource, or to the extent no amounts are owed to NiSource by such Member, by
cash payments to the Member.

         (b)      Tax payments by NiSource with respect to any Consolidated
Tax Liability shall be paid by NiSource and shall be debited to the Member of
the Consolidated Group for their respective shares of such Consolidated Tax
Liability as determined pursuant to Article II hereof. Tax Refunds received by
NiSource with respect to any Consolidated Tax Liability, shall be paid by
NiSource to the Member of the Consolidated Group entitled to such Tax Refund, as
determined.

         (c)      NiSource shall be responsible for maintaining the books and
records reflecting the intercompany accounts reflecting the amounts owned,
collected and paid with respect to Taxes pursuant to this Agreement.

         (d)      NiSource may delegate to other Members of the Consolidated
Group responsibilities for the collection and disbursement of monies as required
under this Agreement as well as responsibilities for maintaining books and
records as required under this Agreement.

         Section 3.5       Administration. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be administered by the Designated Official of NiSource. The
interpretations of this Agreement by the Designated Official of NiSource shall
be conclusive.

Group, including the computation of earnings and profits for federal income tax

obligations of such party and each other party to this Agreement shall survive,
but only with respect to taxable years including or ending before the date such
party ceases to be a Member of the Consolidated Group.

         Section 4.6       Amendments and Waiver. No amendment, modification,

Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the person against whom

agreeable in writing to the NiSource Group and the departing Member.

NiSource Inc.:

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NISOURCE INC.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of
consolidated capitalization and long-term debt of NiSource Inc. and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of consolidated
income, common stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedules listed in the index at Item 8. These financial statements
and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of NiSource's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NiSource Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement
schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

As explained in Note 2Q to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2001,
NiSource Inc. adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. As
explained in Note 2I to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2002,
NiSource adopted SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
