guidance under the Code and ERISA, including (but not limited to) the following: the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) (with technical corrections made by the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 (JCWAA));
revisions required to comply with Code Section&nbsp;415 (as such provisions were previously adopted by the Company in a separate Plan amendment); the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA &#145;06); the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of
2008 (HEART); and the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 (WRERA). The NiSource Benefits Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;) amended and restated the Plan effective as of January&nbsp;1, 2009 to reflect various design changes and to
update the Plan in accordance with the legislative changes referenced above (the &#147;Plan 2009 Restatement&#148;). The Committee amended and restated the Plan again generally effective January&nbsp;1, 2009 to make certain clarifications with
respect to the administration and operation of the Plan (the &#147;Plan 2010 Restatement&#148;) and amended and restated the Plan effective as of January&nbsp;1, 2012 to reflect the merger of Kokomo Gas and Fuel Company and Northern Indiana
Fuel&nbsp;&amp; Light Company, Inc. with and into Northern Indiana Public Service Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of NiSource Inc., as well as to make certain clarifications with respect to the administration and operation of the Plan (the
&#147;Plan 2012 Restatement&#148;). The Committee further amended and restated the Plan on two separate occasions, in both cases generally effective as of January&nbsp;1, 2013, to make various modifications with respect to the administration and
operation of the Plan (the &#147;Plan 2013 Restatements&#148;). The Committee now amends and restates the Plan as of the Effective Date to update the Plan as necessary to reflect negotiated benefit changes for various union employee groups
participating in the Plan, to update the automatic contribution provisions and to reflect various additional clarifications with respect to the administration and operation of the Plan (the &#147;Plan 2014 Restatement&#148;). </P>

Section&nbsp;401(k) and its corresponding trust exempt from taxation under Code Section&nbsp;501(a). In addition, the Plan is intended to be a profit sharing plan pursuant to the requirements of Code Section&nbsp;401(a)(27). The portion of the Plan
related to Accounts invested in the Company Stock Fund, and the dividends thereon, shall constitute an employee stock ownership plan under Code &#167;4975(e)(7). </P>

guarantees a minimum contribution (subject to the provisions of this Article XI) of three percent of Compensation for each &#147;Non&#150;Key Employee,&#148; as defined below, who is a Participant employed by the Employer on the Accounting Date of
the Plan Year without regard to hours of Service completed during the Plan Year or to whether he has elected to make Pre&#150;tax Contributions or Roth Contributions under Section&nbsp;3.02, and who is not a Participant in a Top Heavy defined
benefit plan maintained by the Employer. Participants who also participate in a Top Heavy defined benefit plan of the Employer shall receive the required minimum benefit in the defined benefit plan rather than in this Plan. The Plan satisfies the
guaranteed minimum contribution for the Non&#150;Key Employee if the Non&#150;Key Employee&#146;s contribution rate is at least equal to the minimum contribution. For purposes of this paragraph, a Non&#150;Key Employee Participant includes any

the guaranteed minimum contribution for Non&#150;Key Employees shall equal the highest contribution rate received by a Key Employee. The contribution rate is the sum of Employer contributions (not including Employer contributions to Social Security)
and forfeitures allocated to the Participant&#146;s Account for the Plan Year divided by his &#147;Compensation,&#148; as defined below, not in excess of the compensation limitation under Code Section&nbsp;401(a)(17) for the Plan Year. For purposes
of determining the minimum contribution for a Plan Year, the Plan Administrator shall consider contributions made to any plan pursuant to a compensation reduction agreement or similar arrangement as Employer contributions. To determine the
contribution rate, the Plan Administrator shall consider all qualified Top Heavy defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer as a single plan. </P>

Employee depends on this Plan to satisfy the anti&#150;discrimination rules of Code Section&nbsp;401(a)(4) or the coverage rules of Code Section&nbsp;410 (or another plan benefiting the Key Employee so depends on such defined benefit plan), the
guaranteed minimum contribution for a Non&#150;Key Employee is three percent of his Compensation regardless of the contribution rate for the Key Employees. </P>

similar sum determined for all Employees. For purposes of determining the present value of the Accounts for the foregoing fraction, the Plan Administrator shall include contributions due as of the Determination Date and distributions made for any
purpose within the one&#150;year period ending on the Determination Date. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall also include distributions made within the five&#150;year period ending on the Determination Date if such distributions were made for
reasons other than upon severance from employment, death or disability (<I>e.g</I>., in&#150;service withdrawals); provided, however, that no distribution shall be counted more than once. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall calculate the Top
Heavy ratio by disregarding the Account (including distributions, if any, of the Account balance) of an individual who has not received credit for at least one Hour of Service with the Employer during the one&#150;year period ending on the
Determination Date in such calculation. The Top Heavy ratio, including the extent to which it must take into account distributions, rollovers and transfers, shall be calculated in accordance with Code Section&nbsp;416 and the Treasury Regulations

paragraph of this Section&nbsp;11.03, taking into account all plans within the Aggregation Group. To the extent distributions to a Participant must be taken into account, the Plan Administrator shall include distributions from a terminated plan that
would have been part of the Required Aggregation Group if it were in existence on the Determination Date. The present value of accrued benefits and the other amounts the Plan Administrator must take into account, under defined benefit plans or
simplified employee pension plans included within the group, shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of those plans, Code Section&nbsp;416 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If an aggregated plan does not have a valuation date
coinciding with the Determination Date, the Plan Administrator shall value the accrued benefits or Accounts in the aggregated plan as of the most recent valuation date falling within the 12&#150;month period ending on the Determination Date. The
Plan Administrator shall calculate the Top Heavy ratio with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year. </P>
