_______________

*	Average of the salaries (not including amounts listed under "Bonus", "Restricted Stock Awards", "Long-Term Compensation Awards", and "All Other Compensation" in the Summary Compensation Table) for the five highest paid consecutive years of
employment service preceding retirement.

The Retirement Income Plan for Non-Union Employees provides retirement benefits for full-time non-union employees, including executive officers of the Company, based on length of service and the average annual salary for
the five highest paid consecutive years of employment service preceding retirement.  Federal tax law limits the amount of compensation to $175,000 that can be taken into account in determining retirement benefits under the Retirement Income Plan for
Non-Union Employees.  Retirement benefits under the Retirement Income Plan for Non-Union Employees are computed on an actuarial basis and are payable as a single life annuity.

Ms. Burns and Mr. Call have 13 and 14 credited years of service, respectively, under the Retirement Income Plan for Non-Union Employees.

Employment, Change In Control and Other Arrangements

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Burns for a term of three years beginning on September 1, 2000, which is automatically extended each month unless either the company, Energy East
Corporation, or Ms. Burns gives written notice that the agreement will not be extended.  Ms. Burn's agreement provides for her employment as President of the Company at a base salary of $300,000, and for her eligibility for participation in all of the
Company's incentive compensation, fringe benefit and employee benefit plans on the same basis as other executives and key management employees.  The agreement provides that, if Ms. Burn's employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause or
disability or by her for good reason, she will receive (i) payments of base salary at the rate in effect at the time of termination for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement, (ii) incentive compensation for the remainder of the term of the
employment agreement, calculated on the basis of the value of short-term incentive compensation paid to her in the most recently completed fiscal year and the value of any long-term incentive compensation awards determined on the projected target value of
the awards,(iii) continuation of all employee welfare benefits for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement, (iv) outplacement services costing up to $10,000, and (v) a lump sum payment equal to the value of the fringe benefits that she would
have received through the term of the employment agreement and any unreimbursed expenses.  In the event that any payments made under the agreement would subject Ms. Burns to federal excise tax or interest or penalties with respect to such federal excise
tax, she will be entitled to be made whole for the payment of any such taxes, interest or penalties.

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Call that provides for severance benefits in the event that his employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause or disability or by him for good
reason. Mr. Call's agreement provides for his employment as treasurer of the Company. The agreement is automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless either the Company or Mr. Call gives written notice that the agreement will not be
extended. Mr. Call  is entitled to receive an amount equal to one times his then annual base salary, plus continuation of medical and other benefits under the company's group benefit plans and limited outplacement services. He is also entitled to receive
an amount equal to one times his then annual base salary as compensation for his agreement not to compete, subject to forfeiture if he competes during the twelve month period immediately following termination of employment. In the event that any payments
made under the agreement would subject Mr. Call to federal excise tax or interest or penalties with respect to such federal excise tax, total severance payments will be reduced to a level where the tax will be eliminated.
