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, incentive bonus and long-term
stock-based compensation) to corporate performance. This policy applies to all
executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer of NiSource and the
four other most highly compensated executive officers, which collectively
constitute the "Named Officers." In 2001, the Named Officers were the Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Neale, and Messrs. Adik, Mulchay, O'Donnell and Yundt.
The Committee has implemented a "pay-for-performance" program which is designed
to position the Company executive compensation competitively and to reward
performance that creates additional stockholder value. 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 2001.

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 similarly sized 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 group of similarly sized
companies in general industry. Each of these 2001 executive compensation
comparative groups consisted 34 companies 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 group is not the same as the corporations
that make up the Dow Jones Utilities Index in the Stock Price Performance Graph
included in this proxy statement.

The Committee considers the surveys provided by Hewitt in determining base
salary, incentive bonus and long-term stock-based compensation. The Committee's
philosophy is to set conservative base salaries at or near the medians of the
utility and energy comparative group, which are similar, while providing
performance-based variable compensation through the bonus and incentive plans
described below to allow total compensation to fluctuate according to the
Company's financial performance. Long-term incentive awards are stock-based (for
example, stock options, restricted stock awards or performance-based contingent
stock awards) to emphasize long-term stock price appreciation and the
concomitant increased stockholder value. In 2001, total compensation of the
executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, was targeted between
the 50th and the 75th percentile of the relevant comparative compensation group.
Total compensation would reach this level only if the Company met the applicable
performance targets under the bonus incentive plans. For those executive
officers with significant responsibilities for certain business units, total
compensation is dependent on the Company's financial performance and on business
unit operating income or on other measures unique to the respective business
unit.

In establishing Mr. Neale's base salary for 2001, 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. The result of the Committee's determination as to Mr. Neale's total
compensation package was that, as of the time of the grant, approximately 75% of
Mr. Neale's total target compensation was performance-based and at risk,
dependent upon the Company's earnings per share and stock price performance.

ITEM 6. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

The Committee determines annual incentive awards for all executive officers in
accordance with the Senior Management Incentive Plan. This Plan sets forth a
formula established at the beginning of each fiscal year by the Committee for
awarding incentive bonuses, based upon the Company's financial performance.
Bonuses awarded to each of the Named Officers (including the Chief Executive
Officer) are based on overall corporate performance. The bonus formula is based
upon attaining targets for the Company's earnings per share. The Incentive Plan
establishes a threshold level of financial performance (below which no bonus is
paid), a target level, and a maximum level (above which no additional bonus 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%
Group Presidents                             32.5% to 97.5%                       65.0%
Executive and Senior Vice Presidents         20.0% to 97.5%              40.0% to 65.0%
Other Vice Presidents                        17.5% to 75.0%              35.0% to 50.0%


In 2001, the Company's actual earnings per share were lower than the threshold.
None of the Named Officers (including Mr. Neale) received a bonus in 2001.

Executive officers are also eligible to receive awards under the Company's
Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, stock options,
stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock awards,
contingent stock awards and dividend equivalents may be awarded. 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. 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 for purposes of
determining the number of options and/or shares to be granted to reach total
target compensation. In 2001, stock options, restricted stock and contingent
stock were awarded to Messrs. Neale, Adik, Mulchay, Yundt and O'Donnell. The
number of options, restricted stock awards and contingent stock awards granted
to the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers (including Messrs.
Adik, Mulchay, Yundt and O'Donnell) was based on these considerations. The
compensation value of stock options, restricted stock awards and/or contingent
stock awards depends on actual stock price appreciation. In addition, the
contingent stock awards are subject to performance vesting criteria as
established by the Committee. Historically, the restricted stock awards were
also subject to performance vesting criteria as established by the Committee;
however, in order to avoid certain variable accounting issues associated with
the performance objectives, in 2001, the Company offered to exchange restricted
stock awards made in 2000 and 2001 to the Named Officers (including Mr. Neale)
for replacement restricted stock awards without performance objectives. Details
of the exchange are set forth in note (1) to the Long-Term Stock Incentive Plans
Table.

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 four
other most highly compensated executive officers employed at year-end, other
than compensation meeting the definition of "performance based compensation,"
will not be deductible by a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The
Committee believes that, except as identified in the preceding paragraph and
except for options granted at less than market value, the Company's long-term
stock-based incentive awards constitute performance-based compensation for
purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In light of its
emphasis on such performance-based compensation, the Committee does not
anticipate that the limits of Section 162(m) will materially affect the
deductibility of compensation paid by the Company in 2001. However, the
Committee will continue to review the deductibility of compensation under
Section 162(m) and related regulations.


                                       27

ITEM 6. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

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.

ITEM 6. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

(1)      Compensation deferred at the election of the Named Officer is reported
         in the category and year in which such compensation was earned.

(2)      All bonuses are paid pursuant to the Senior Management Incentive Plan,
         except for the bonus paid to Mr. O'Donnell in 2000, which was paid
         pursuant to the Columbia Annual Incentive Plan and a portion of the
         bonuses to Messrs. Mulchay and Yundt, which are described in note (6).
         The incentive plan is designed to supplement a conservative base salary
         with incentive bonus payments if targeted financial performance is
         attained. No bonuses were paid pursuant to the Senior Management
         Incentive Plan in 2001. The amounts shown for Messrs. Neale and Adik in
         2000 include bonuses of $500,000 and $250,000, respectively, received
         in consideration for their performance and efforts in connection with
         the acquisition of Columbia Energy Group.

(3)      The 2001 amount shown for Mr. Yundt includes a relocation allowance of
         $82,496 and a related tax allowance of $57,321. The 2001 amount for Mr.
         O'Donnell includes a relocation allowance of $49,407 and a related tax
         allowance of $40,793 as well as other amounts as described in note (8).
         The 1999 amount for Mr. Yundt also included a relocation allowance of
         $85,305 and a related tax allowance of $60,412.

(4)      The payouts shown are based on the value, at date of vesting, of
         restricted shares awarded under the Long-Term Incentive Plan which
         vested during the years shown. The amounts shown for 2000 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, 2001 (based on the
         average of the high and low sale prices 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 $10,310,496; Mr. Adik, 161,581 shares valued at $3,772,916;
         Mr. Mulchay 98,966 shares valued at $2,310,856; Mr. Yundt, 97,466
         shares valued at $2,275,831 and Mr. O'Donnell, 55,836 shares valued at
         $1,303,770. 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-$1,155 401(k)
         Plan, $17,782 premium value and $3,336 term insurance cost; Mr.
         Adik-$1,155 401(k) Plan, $2.350 premium value and $1,291 term insurance
         cost; Mr. Mulchay-$1,155 401 (k) Plan, $3,685 premium value and $1,043
         term insurance cost, and Mr. Yundt-$1,155 401 (k) Plan, $2,175 premium
         value and $892 term insurance cost. 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 2001 for Mr. O'Donnell
         includes $11,050 paid by Columbia Energy Group to its Employee Savings
         Plan and $13,800 paid by Columbia Energy Group to its Employee Savings
         Restoration Plan.

(6)      Mr. Mulchay was President of Northern Indiana Public Service Company
         and Mr. Yundt was President of Bay State Gas Company and 50% of their
         1999 and 2000 annual incentive compensation was determined based on the
         financial performance of the business units for which they were
         responsible.

(7)      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.

(8)      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


                                       29

ITEM 6. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

         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.
         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.

(1)      All options granted in 2001 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 or by
         reducing the number of shares of common stock received on exercise,
         subject to certain conditions.

(2)      Based on an aggregate of 1,725,105 options granted to all employees in
         2001.

(3)      The options were granted at the average of high and low sale prices of
         the common stock on December 1, 2000, as reported on the New York Stock
         Exchange Composite Transactions Tape.

(4)      Based on the average of high and low sale prices of the common stock on
         January 2, 2001, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
         Transactions Tape.

(5)      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, 2001 grants (expiring December 31,
         2010) were as follows: expected volatility - 20% (estimated stock price
         volatility for the term of the grant); risk-free rate of return - 5.9%
         (the rate for a ten-year U.S. treasury); risk of forfeiture - 10%;
         estimated annual dividend - $1.19; option term - ten years; vesting -
         100% one year after date of grant; and an expected option term of 5.4
         years. 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.

ITEM 6. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

(1)      On December 31, 2001, Messrs. Neale, Adik, Mulchay, Yundt and O'Donnell
         exchanged restricted stock awards made in 2000 and 2001 for replacement
         restricted stock awards. The original 2000 and 2001 awards were
         scheduled to vest on December 31, 2002 at percentages varying from 0%
         to 200% related to specific financial performance objectives, including
         earnings per share targets, stock price targets and total shareholder
         return. Based on performance up to the time of the exchange, Messrs.
         Neale, Adik, Mulchay, Yundt and O'Donnell would have been eligible to
         receive approximately 160% of the restricted stock awards made in 2000
         and 2001. The award holders exchanged the original awards for
         replacement awards equal to 150% of the shares subject to the original
         awards. The replacement awards will be subject to a holding period
         which will require that any shares representing the replacement awards
         shall not be disposed of until December 31, 2004, except in the case of
         death, disability, termination without cause, change of control or
         retirement, in which case the shares are not subject to the holding
         period. The terms of the awards issued in exchange for the 2001 awards
         are shown in the table above. The numbers of restricted shares issued
         in exchange for the 2000 awards are as follows: Mr. Neale, 270,000; Mr.
         Adik, 112,500; Mr. Mulchay, 72,000; and Mr. Yundt, 67,500. The awards
         for Mr. Neale will vest only following the end of the year of death,
         disability, termination without cause, change of control or retirement.
         In the case of each of the other Named Officers, the awards will vest,
         commencing in 2003, only to the extent that the value of shares vested
         in any calendar year, when added to other non-performance based
         compensation for that year, does not exceed $999,999; in addition,
         awards will vest following the end of the year of death, disability,
         termination without cause, change of control or retirement.

(2)      Represents contingent stock awards granted to each Named Officer in
         2001. The restrictions on 50% of the contingent stock awarded during
         2001 lapse on December 31, 2004. The restrictions on the remaining 50%
         lapse on December 31, 2005. The vesting of the contingent stock varies
         from 0% to 200% of the number awarded, based upon meeting certain
         specific financial performance objectives, including earnings per share
         targets, stock price targets and total shareholder return. There is a
         one-year holding period after the restrictions lapse for the first 50%
         of the shares of contingent stock awarded. The remaining shares of
         contingent stock awarded are not subject to a holding period.

The credited years of service for each of the Named Officers (other than Michael
W. O'Donnell), pursuant to the Pension Plan and Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan, are as follows: Gary L. Neale -- 27 years; Stephen P. Adik --
23 years; Patrick J. Mulchay -- 39 years; and Jeffrey W. Yundt -- 22 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.


                                       33

ITEM 6. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

Pension benefits are determined separately 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 for officers.
Participants in the supplemental plan are selected by the board of directors.
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 less Primary
Social Security Benefits per year for participants with between 20 and 30 years
of service, 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.

Michael W. 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 half 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 half 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.

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 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.

ITEM 6. OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

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.

COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS

The Company pays each director who is not receiving a salary from the Company
$30,000 per year, $3,000 annually per 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.

The Company's Nonemployee Director Retirement Plan provides a retirement benefit
for each nonemployee director currently serving on the board who has completed
at least five years of service on the board. The benefit under the plan is an
annual amount equal to the annual retainer for board service in effect at the
time of the director's retirement from the board and will be paid for ten years,
or the number of years of service the individual served as a nonemployee
director of the Company, whichever is less. Directors first elected after 2001
will not participate in the retirement plan, but instead will receive, on the
date of each election or re-election, restricted shares of common stock and
restricted stock unit grants with a value equivalent to the retirement benefit
earned by the directors serving prior to 2001.

The Company's Nonemployee Director Stock Incentive Plan provides for a grant of
2,600 (previously 2,000) 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. In 2001, Drs. Beering and Woo and Mr. Foster each received a grant of
2,000 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 6,000 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 Company's Nonemployee Director Restricted Stock Unit Plan is a phantom stock
plan that provides for grants to nonemployee directors of restricted stock units
that have a value related to the Company's common stock. Each nonemployee
director received an initial grant of 500 units in April 1999. Beginning in
2002, grants of 600 units will be made to nonemployee directors upon election or
re-election to the Board. The grants of units vest in 20% annual increments,
with all of a director's units vesting five years after the date of award.
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 cash. In 2001, Drs.
Beering and Woo and Mr. Foster each received a grant of 500 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.

PART II. SYSTEM CONTRACTS TO PURCHASE GOODS OR SERVICES FROM ANY AFFILIATE
         (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. 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 $320 million.

(c)      Ratio of debt to common equity and earnings of the company for the year
         ended December 31, 2001.

         As of December 31, 2001, BSGPE had no debt outstanding and for the
         calendar year 2001, the turbo expander did not operate and did not
         generate revenue. BSGPE had a net loss of $29,000 for 2001.


                                       42

         WCE had $15.9 million in notes payable outstanding at December 31, 2001
         to NiSource Finance Corp. The debt to equity ratio for WCE at December
         31, 2001 is not meaningful since the company's equity capitalization is
         effectively zero. For 2001, WCE had no net earnings or net loss.

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

         Bay State Gas and BSGPE have entered into a maintenance and service
         agreement for performance of the operation, maintenance and accounting
         needs of BSGPE by Bay State Gas personnel.

         WCE has no service sales or construction contracts with system
         companies.

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 $320 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
0.012% based on the current book values of the utility subsidiaries.

EXHIBIT F. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.

NiSource Inc.:

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

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, 2001 and 2000, 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, 2001. These financial statements
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. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of NiSource Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

     As explained in Note 2 to the financial statements, NiSource Inc. has given
retroactive effect to the change in accounting for acquisition, exploration and
development activities related to oil and gas reserves from the full cost method
to the successful efforts method. As explained in Note 8 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.

     Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the
Index to Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data are presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
are not part of the basic consolidated financial statements. These schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects
the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Columbia Energy Group:

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE SHAREHOLDER OF COLUMBIA ENERGY GROUP:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Columbia
Energy Group (a Delaware corporation, the "Corporation" and a wholly owned
subsidiary of NiSource Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and 2000,
and the related statements of consolidated income, cash flows and common stock
equity for the three years then ended December 31, 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation'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. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the three years then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

     As explained in Note 1E to the financial statements, the Corporation has
given retroactive effect to the change in accounting for acquisition,
exploration and development activities related to oil and gas reserves from the
full cost method to the successful efforts method. Further, as explained in Note
7 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2001, the Corporation
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended.

     Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the
Index to Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, is presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is

subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
