ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

PART III(a).  COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

OFFICER NOMINATION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Officer Nomination 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, while remaining
competitive with the compensation practices of competitors and, to a lesser
extent, general industry. This policy applies to all of the Named Officers,
including the Chief Executive Officer, as of December 31, 2003. 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 accepted all of the Committee's recommendations in
2003. Commencing January 23, 2004, all Chief Executive Officer compensation
decisions will be made by the Committee.

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 gas, electric
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 2003 executive compensation comparative groups consisted of 35 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 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 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 Committee considers the surveys and advice provided by Hewitt in determining
base salary, annual incentives and long-term stock-based compensation. The
Committee's philosophy is to set base salaries and performance-based variable
compensation in the form of annual incentives under the Annual Incentive Plan
between the 50th and 75th percentile of the energy and general industry
comparative groups. The annual cash-based compensation is supplemented with
restricted or contingent stock awards and option grants under the Long-Term
Incentive Plan, again between the 50th and 75th percentile of the comparative
groups, to emphasize long-term stock price appreciation and the concomitant
increased stockholder value. The mix of compensation allows an executive's
annual total compensation to fluctuate according to the Company's financial
performance and value delivered to stockholders. In 2003, the target for total
compensation of the executive officers was set between the 50th and the 75th
percentile of the relevant comparative compensation group.

In establishing Mr. Neale's base salary for 2003, the Committee reviewed
information provided by Hewitt regarding chief executive officer compensation
practices of comparable utility and energy companies. The Committee determined
that Mr. Neale's base salary would be set between the 50th and 75th percentile
of salaries in 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, the target for Mr. Neale's total compensation was set between the 50th
and the 75th percentile of the relevant comparative compensation group,
dependent on the Company's financial performance. As with the other executives,
Mr. Neale's annual incentive under the Annual Incentive Plan was 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 and contingent stock in 2003 under the Company's
Long-Term Incentive Plan. Because the value of the options and contingent stock
is a function of the price growth of the Company's stock, the amount Mr. Neale
would realize from his options and contingent stock is directly related to
increases in shareholder value.

The Committee determines annual incentive targets for all executive officers in
accordance with the Annual Incentive Plan. Annual incentives awarded to each


                                       35


ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

of the Named Officers (including the Chief Executive Officer) are based on
overall corporate performance, rather than individual performance of the
executive. The Annual Incentive Plan establishes a trigger amount of financial
performance (below which no annual incentive is paid) and a maximum level (above
which no additional annual incentive is paid). Additionally, a profit sharing
contribution of between 0.5% and 1.5% of an employee's eligible earnings may be
made to an employee's account in the Company's 401(k) Savings Plan on behalf of
all eligible employees, including the executive officers, based on the identical
overall corporate financial performance measure.

In 2003, the trigger was based on income from continuing operations (after
accounting for the cost of the incentive plan). The range of awards and levels
of awards (as a percent of base salary), if the financial performance trigger
was achieved, were as follows:



                                                             Incentive at Trigger       Incentive at Maximum
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                  
Chief Executive Officer                                            40.0%                      120.0%
Vice Chairman                                                      35.0%                      105.0%
Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer                  35.0%                      105.0%
Other Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice President          32.5%                       97.5%
Executive Vice President, Regulated Revenue                          30%                         90%
Other Vice Presidents                                              25.0%                       75.0%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


For 2003, the Company exceeded the trigger amount of income from continuing
operations, resulting in payments under the Annual Incentive Plan to most of the
Company's employees and to the executive officers. In February and March 2004,
the incentive payments were made amounting to approximately 118% of the trigger
amounts and profit sharing contributions to the Company's 401(k) Savings Plan
accounts were made at slightly above the trigger level of 0.5%.

Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Committee may award stock options, stock
appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock awards, and contingent
stock awards. 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, at the
time of the grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and restricted
stock awards and contingent stock awards granted to executive officers are
valued using Hewitt's present value pricing model. In 2003, stock options and
restricted or contingent stock were awarded to each of the Named Officers, and
the number of awards of options and restricted or contingent stock granted to
each Named Officer was based on the aforementioned considerations. The
compensation value of stock options and the restricted and contingent shares
depends on actual stock price appreciation.


                                       36


ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

The Committee's compensation policy is designed 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
interests of its stockholders. In that regard, the Committee believes that
compensation packages should emphasize long-term growth and stability, while
continuing to provide shorter-term incentives. As such, the Company's long-term
stock-based compensation is more focused on grants of restricted stock and
contingent stock, with longer vesting and holding periods as compared with stock
options. The target ratio of the value of the contingent or restricted stock
awards to option grants for 2003 was approximately 75% to 25%.

Beginning in 2003, grants of restricted and contingent stock under the Long Term
Incentive Plan were made pursuant to a new Time Accelerated Restricted Stock
Award Program ("TARSAP"). Restrictions with respect to the TARSAP awards will
lapse six years from the date of the grant; however, if at the end of a
three-year performance cycle the Company meets both a peer group target (a 60%
percentile for relative total stockholder return ranking) and an absolute target
(a 12% annualized compound total stockholder return), the restrictions with
respect to the awards will lapse on the third anniversary of the date of the
grant. The TARSAP program provides a compensation component that encourages
stable, long-term growth and aligns the interests of the executives with that of
the stockholders. For the three-year performance cycle commencing on January 1,
2003, the peer-group-relative performance target was based on a total
stockholder return ranking within the 60th percentile and the absolute target
was set at an annualized compound total stockholder return of at least 12%.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that annual compensation in
excess of $1,000,000 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 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 2003.
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 the
executive officers to strive toward the creation of additional stockholder
value.

         see the discussion under the heading "Change in Control and Termination
         Agreements" on page [23].

         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 (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.

(1)      All options granted in 2003 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 may be paid by delivery of already owned shares of
         common stock and any tax withholding obligations related to exercise
         may be paid by delivery of already owned shares of common stock or by
         reducing the number of shares of common stock received on exercise,
         subject to certain conditions.

(2)      Based on an aggregate of 2,464,996 options granted to all employees in
         2003.

(3)      The options were granted on January 1, 2003 at the average of high and
         low sale prices of the common stock on December 31, 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 1, 2003 grants (expiring December 31, 2012) were
         as follows: expected volatility - 30% (estimated stock price volatility
         for the term of the grant); risk-free rate of return - 4.05% (the rate
         for a ten-year U.S. treasury); discount for risk of forfeiture - 10%;
         estimated annual dividend - $0.92; 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.

peer group target (a 60% percentile for relative total stockholder return
ranking) and an absolute target (a 12% annualized compound total stockholder
return), the restrictions with respect to the awards will lapse on December 31,
2005. If both of the targets are not met, restrictions with respect to the 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 restrictions with
respect to the awards will lapse upon the death or disability of the grantee.
Upon (i) the death or disability of the grantee or (ii) the voluntarily or
involuntarily termination without cause, upon the grantee having attained age 55
and completed 10 years of service with the Company or its affiliates, the
grantee will receive a partial distribution of the contingent stock awarded on a
pro rata basis based on a quarterly distribution schedule contained in the
contingent stock agreement between the Company and each grantee with respect to
each grant.

         (2)      The awards for Mr. Miller reflected above consist of grants of
restricted stock under the Long Term Incentive Plan which were made on January
1, 2003, pursuant to the Company's Time Accelerated Restricted Stock Award
Program ("TARSAP"). Restrictions with respect to the awards will lapse on
December 31, 2008; however, if at the end of the three year performance cycle
(that began on January 1, 2003 and will end on December 31, 2005) the Company
meets both a peer group target (a 60% percentile for relative total stockholder
return ranking) and an absolute target (a 12% annualized compound total
stockholder return), the restrictions with respect to the awards will lapse on
December 31, 2005. The restrictions with respect to the awards will lapse upon
the death or disability of the grantee. Upon the death or disability of the
grantee, the grantee will receive a partial distribution of the restricted stock
awarded on a pro rata basis based on a quarterly distribution schedule contained
in the restricted stock agreement between the Company and each grantee with
respect to each grant.

         (3)      The award to Mr. Adik vested on January 1, 2004 as a result of
his retirement from the Company and the terms of the Company's TARSAP program.
At the time of vesting 33.33 percent or 27,764 shares granted to Mr. Adik
vested. The remaining shares were forfeited.

ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

         (4)      In the case of each of the Named Officers, the restrictions
with respect to both the restricted stock awards and the contingent stock awards
will lapse and the Named Officer will be entitled to the underlying stock only
to the extent that the value of shares for which the restrictions lapse in any
calendar year, when added to other non-performance based compensation for that
year, does not exceed $999,999.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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 - 29 years; Stephen P. Adik -- 25 years;
Samuel W. Miller, Jr. - 1 year; and S. LaNette Zimmerman - 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.


                                       43


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.

         For each officer and employee who first participated in the
Supplemental Retirement Plan prior to January 23, 2004, 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.

For each officer and employee who first participates in the Supplemental
Retirement Plan on and after January 23, 2004, the Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan provides a credit into a notional account as of the last day of
each year beginning on or after January 1, 2004 equal to five percent of the
officer or employee's compensation. Interest will be credited to the account
until distribution upon termination of employment after five or more years of
service with the Company and its affiliates. In addition, the Officer Nomination
and Compensation Committee, subject to approval of the Board of the Company, may
authorize supplemental credits to an officer or employee's account in such
amounts and at such times, and subject to such specific terms and provisions, as
authorized by the Committee.

         Mr. O'Donnell continues to participate in the Retirement Plan of
Columbia Energy Group Companies, 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 the
Pension Restoration Plan for the Columbia Energy Group 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 Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, minus (ii)
the actual benefit he received under the Retirement Plan. Effective January 1,
2004, Mr. O'Donnell will


                                       44


ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

participate in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, described above,
based on his service and compensation with the Company and its affiliates from
and after November 1, 2000.

         Effective January 1, 2004, the Company assumed sponsorship of the
Pension Restoration Plan for Columbia Energy Group, renamed the plan the
"Pension Restoration Plan for NiSource Inc. and Affiliates," and broadened the
plan to include all employees of the Company and its affiliates whose benefits
under the applicable tax-qualified pension plan are limited by sections 415 and
401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company assumed sponsorship of the Savings
Restoration Plan for Columbia Energy Group, renamed the plan the "Savings
Restoration Plan for NiSource Inc. and Affiliates," and broadened the plan to
include all employees of the Company and its affiliates. The revised Savings
Restoration Plan provides for a supplemental benefit equal to the difference
between (i) the benefit an employee would have received under the NiSource Inc.
Retirement Savings Plan had such benefit not been limited by sections 415 and
401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code and reduced by his deferrals into the
Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, minus (ii) the actual benefit he
received under the Savings 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 for reasons other than her involuntary termination for
good cause. In 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.

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, except Mr. Miller. 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 Mr. Neale, 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
shares awarded 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.


                                       45


ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

         In connection with Mr. Adik's retirement and in recognition of his past
service and contribution with the Company, the Company entered into a retirement
agreement with Mr. Adik entitling him to receive a cash bonus of $450,000 and a
grant of restricted shares of common stock equal to $450,000 divided by the
closing price of a share of the Company's common stock on January 2, 2004. The
restrictions will lapse on the earlier of April 17, 2005 or Mr. Adik's death.
Under this agreement, Mr. Adik would be entitled to receive 34,754 shares of the
Company's common stock in the event that certain change in control events occur
within a specified period of time following his date of retirement. As
compensation for his accrued and unused vacation days, Mr. Adik received a
payment of $80,769 under this retirement agreement.

         The Company also has an arrangement with Mr. Miller that, in the event
that his employment is terminated as a result of a change in control of the
Company prior to September 1, 2004, he would receive a payment equal to one year
of his base pay, target bonus and the pro-rata value of the grants made to Mr.
Miller under the Company's Long-term Incentive Plan through the date of
termination.

         In the event of a change in control, all stock options, restricted
stock awards and contingent stock awards which have been granted to each of the
Named Officers (including the Chief Executive Officer) under the Company's
Long-term Incentive Plan will immediately vest.

COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS

The Company pays each director who is not receiving a salary from the Company
$30,000 annually, $3,000 annually for each standing committee on which the
director sits, $1,000 annually for each chairmanship of the Executive, the
Environmental, Health and Safety, and the Public Affairs and Career Development
Committees, $10,000 annually for each chairmanship of the Audit, the Corporate
Governance and the Officer Nomination and Compensation Committees, $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.

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 did not elect to opt out of
the plan during 2002. Directors who are first elected or appointed to the board
after 2001 are not eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan. The benefit
under the Retirement 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 Retirement Plan in 2002 received, under the Company's Nonemployee
Director Stock Incentive Plan, 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 elected to 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 Corporate Governance Committee, additional restricted shares
of common stock and/or restricted stock unit grants under the Company's
Nonemployee Director Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective
January 1, 2004, to ensure that the retirement benefit, together with other
compensation paid to the nonemployee director, delivers a competitive
compensation package.

During 2003, the Company's Nonemployee Director Stock Incentive Plan provided
for a grant of 2,600 restricted shares of common stock and a grant of 600
restricted stock units to each nonemployee director of the Company upon his or
her election or re-election as a director of the Company. In 2003, Messrs. Decio
and Welsh each received a grant of 2,600 restricted shares of common stock and
600 restricted stock units under the plan.

Effective January 1, 2004, each nonemployee director shall receive, as part of
his or her annual retainer, an annual award of restricted shares of common stock
or restricted stock units, or a combination thereof, equal to $20,000 (in
addition to the cash payment described above) to be granted in four equal
installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter. The number of
restricted shares of common stock or restricted stock units, as applicable,
constituting such quarterly grant shall be determined by dividing $5,000 by the
average of the high and low price of the Company's common stock on the last
business day of the relevant quarter. In addition, beginning in 2004, upon
election, re-election or appointment to the board, each nonemployee director
shall receive an award of restricted shares of common stock or restricted stock
units equal to $30,000 for each year of the term for which such director has
been elected, re-elected or appointed. The


                                       46


ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

number of restricted shares of common stock or restricted stock units, or a
combination thereof, as applicable, shall be determined by dividing the amount
of the grant by the average of the high and low price of the Company's common
stock on the date of such election, re-election or appointment.

The grants of both the restricted shares of common stock and the restricted
stock units under the Company's Nonemployee Director Stock Incentive Plan vest
in 20% annual increments, with all of a director's stock and units 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. Dividends are paid to
holders of restricted stock in cash on the date dividends are actually paid to
stockholders of the Company. Additional restricted stock 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.

The board may designate that a scheduled award will consist of nonqualified
stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock rather than
shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units; if so, then, in lieu of
such shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units, each nonemployee
director shall be granted a nonqualified option with a market value on the date
of any such grant equal to the dollar value of the grant otherwise scheduled to
be made to such nonemployee director on such date. 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.

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

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 PEI Holdings, Inc., is an EWG.
              WCE's business address is 801 E. 86th Avenue, Merrillville,
              Indiana. NiSource owns 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. 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.

              PEI Holdings, Inc.'s investment in WCE consists mainly of its
              guarantee of WCE's performance under the lease through its parent
              NiSource Inc. NiSource owns the WCE facility and has approximately
              $304.1 of long-term debt on its balance sheet

(c)           Ratio of debt to common equity and earnings of the company for the
              year ended December 31, 2003.

              As of December 31, 2003, BSGPE had no debt outstanding and for the
              calendar year 2003, the turbo expander did not operate and did not
              generate revenue. BSGPE had net income of $44,894 for 2003.

              WCE had $81.5 million in notes payable outstanding at December 31,
              2003 to NiSource Finance Corp. WCE had $304.1 million of debt
              outstanding to third parties. The debt to equity ratio for WCE at
              December 31, 2003 is not meaningful since the company's equity
              capitalization is effectively zero. For 2003, WCE had a net loss
              of$30.0 million.

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

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

              WCE purchased $22.3 million of natural gas from TPC during 2003.

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

PART II.      ORGANIZATION CHART.

BSGPE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bay State Gas Company. WCE is a wholly
owned subsidiary of PEI Holdings, Inc. Bay State Gas Company and PEI Holdings,
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 $304.1
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.

           PREPARATION AND FILING OF TAX RETURNS; ALLOCATION OF TAXES

         Section 2.1       Federal Returns.

         (a)      A U.S. consolidated federal income tax return shall be
prepared and filed by NiSource for each taxable year in respect of which this
Agreement is in effect and for which the Consolidated Group is required or
permitted to file a consolidated federal income tax return. NiSource and all its
subsidiaries shall execute and file such consents, elections and other documents
that may be required or appropriate for the proper filing of such returns.

         (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


                                      249

ITEM 10.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (continued)

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

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;

                  (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.


                                      250

ITEM 10.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (continued)


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

                  (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.

         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 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


                                      251

ITEM 10.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (continued)

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

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.

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

         Section 4.10   Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA.

         Section 4.11   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and together which
shall constitute one instrument. The parties hereto specifically recognize that
from time to time other corporations may become Members of the Consolidated
Group and hereby agree that such new Members may become Members to this
Agreement by executing a copy of this Agreement and it will be effective as if
all the Members had re-signed.

         Section 4.12   Attorneys' Fees. If any Member or former Member hereto

covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement, or because of a default

fees, incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action from
the losing party.

         Section 4.13   No Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to create any right in any creditor or other person or entity not a

contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any third party.

         Section 4.14   Further Documents. The parties agree to execute any and
all documents, and to perform any and all other acts, reasonably necessary to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

         Section 4.15   Headings and Captions. The headings and captions
contained in this Agreement are inserted and included solely for convenience and
shall not be considered or given any effect in construing the provisions hereof
if any question of intent should arise.

         Section 4.16   Departing Members

         (a)      In the event that any Member of the NiSource Group at any time
leaves the NiSource Group and, under any applicable statutory provision or
regulation, that Member is assigned and deemed to take with it all or a portion
of any of the tax attributes of the NiSource Group (including but not limited to
NOL, credit carry forwards, and AMTC carry forwards), then to the extent that
the amount of tax attributes so assigned differs from the amount of such
attributes previously allocated to such Member under this agreement, the
departing Member shall appropriately settle with the NiSource Group. Such
settlement shall consist of payment (1) on a dollar for dollar basis for all
differences in credits, and, (2) in the case of NOL differences (or other
differences related to other deductions), in a dollar amount computed by
reference to the amount of NOL multiplied by the applicable tax rate relating to
such NOL. The settlement payment shall be paid to NiSource within sixty days
after the Member leaves the NiSource Group. The settlement amounts shall be
allocated among the remaining Members of the NiSource Group in proportion to the
relative level of attributes possessed by each Member and the attributes of each
Member shall be adjusted accordingly.

         (b)    Upon the departure of any Member from the NiSource Group, such
Member shall allocate its items of income, deduction, loss and credit between
the period that it was a Member of the NiSource Group and the period thereafter
based upon a closing of the books methodology allowed under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-76(b)(2). The difference between (1) its prior estimated taxes or
payments of Tax Benefit and (2) the amount of taxes due or payments of Tax
Benefit due to that Member, shall be appropriately settled on the day such
Member leaves the NiSource Group or on an alternative date mutually 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, 2003 and 2002, 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, 2003. Our audits also included the financial
statement Schedules I & II. These consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedules are the responsibility of NiSource's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NiSource Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2003, 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 1P to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 2001, NiSource Inc. adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended. As explained in Notes 1H and 5 to the consolidated
financial statements, effective January 1, 2002, NiSource adopted SFAS 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." As explained in Notes 1I and 5 to the
consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2003, NiSource Inc.
adopted EITF Issue No. 02-03, "Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative
Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and
Risk Management Activities." Amounts for the years 2001 and 2002 have been
reclassified in the accompanying consolidated statement of income to conform to
this new method of presentation. As explained in Note 5 to the consolidated
financial statements, effective January 1, 2003, NiSource Inc. adopted SFAS 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations."
