Exhibit 10.2
AMENDED AND RESTATED 
COLUMBIA PIPELINE GROUP, INC.
SYSTEM MONEY POOL AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED SYSTEM MONEY POOL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of July 1, 2015 and is entered into by and among COLUMBIA PIPELINE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“CPG”) and COLUMBIA PIPELINE GROUP SERVICES COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of CPG listed on Attachment A to this Agreement (each an “Eligible Participant” and, together with CPG, and the Administrative Agent, the “Parties”).
RECITALS
On November 1, 2014, CPG, NiSource Finance Corp, an Indiana corporation (“NiSource Finance”) and NiSource Services Company, a Delaware corporation (“NiSource Services”) entered into that certain System Money Pool Agreement (the “Original System Money Pool Agreement”). 
On July 1, 2015, NiSource Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NiSource”) completed the spin-off of its ownership interest in CPG to holders of NiSource common stock via a special stock dividend in the form of CPG common stock (the “Separation”). Pursuant to the Separation, this Agreement amends and restates the Original System Money Pool Agreement to, among other things, (i) remove NiSource Finance and NiSource Services, each of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of NiSource and (ii) add the Administrative Agent, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CPG. 
The Eligible Participants from time to time have need to borrow funds on a short-term basis. The Parties desire to establish a pool of funds (the “System Money Pool”), to be administered by the Administrative Agent, to coordinate such investments and borrowings in order to provide for certain of the short-term cash and working capital requirements of the Eligible Participants.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
INVESTMENTS AND BORROWINGS
Section 1.1.    Original System Money Pool Agreement.     Each of NiSource Finance, NiSource Services and the Parties is released from all rights and obligations under the Original System Money Pool Agreement except for any settlement obligations with respect to any account balances outstanding as of June 30, 2015, which account balances shall be settled between NiSource Finance, NiSource Services and the Parties as soon as practicable but in no event later than July 31, 2015.
Section 1.2.    Investments in System Money Pool.  Each Party will determine each day, on the basis of relevant factors determined in such Party’s sole discretion, the amount of funds it has available to invest in the System Money Pool, and will invest such funds in the System Money Pool.  The amount of each Party’s investments in the System Money Pool shall be evidenced by the records of the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive and binding upon all Parties.  Each Party may withdraw any of its invested funds from the System Money Pool at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent.
Section 1.3.    Rights to Borrow.  All short-term borrowing needs of the Eligible Participants may be met by funds in the System Money Pool to the extent such funds are available.  Each Eligible Participant shall have the right to make short-term borrowings from the System Money Pool (each a “loan” or a “borrowing”) from time to time, subject to the availability of funds, the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement and it being understood that the minimum aggregate outstanding amount of borrowings from the System Money Pool reserved for CPG OpCo LP and its subsidiaries (which are at the time Eligible Participants) will be $750 million (the “sublimit”).  Each Eligible Participant may request loans from the System Money Pool from time to time during the period from the date of this Agreement until this Agreement is terminated by written agreement of the Parties; provided, that the aggregate amount of all loans requested by any Eligible Participant under this Agreement shall not exceed the applicable borrowing limits set forth in the preceding sentence or in applicable regulatory orders, resolutions of such Eligible Participant’s shareholders and Board of Directors (or their equivalents), such Eligible Participant’s governing organizational documents, and agreements binding upon such Eligible Participant.
Section 1.4.    Source of Funds.
(a)    Funds will be available through the System Money Pool from the following sources to be loaned to the Eligible Participants from time to time:  (i) surplus funds in the treasuries of the Parties, and (ii) proceeds received by CPG from the sale 

of commercial paper, borrowings from banks and other lenders, and other financing arrangements (“External Funds”), in each case to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulatory orders.  CPG agrees to advance External Funds to the System Money Pool on a revolving basis if, as and when required to meet the short-term borrowing needs of the Eligible Participants, subject to the sublimit in Section 1.2, and at the discretion of CPG  to the extent that the requested borrowings are in excess of the sublimit in Section 1.2.  Funds will be made available from such sources in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine will result in a lower cost of borrowing to Eligible Participants borrowing from the System Money Pool, consistent with the individual borrowing needs and financial standing of the Parties investing funds in the System Money Pool.
(b)    Borrowing Parties will be deemed to borrow funds in the System Money Pool pro rata from each investing Party in the proportion that the total amount invested by such investing Party bears to the total amount then invested in the System Money Pool.  On any day when more than one source of funds invested in the System Money Pool (e.g., surplus treasury funds of CPG and other Parties and External Funds), with different rates of interest, is used to make loans through the System Money Pool, each borrowing Party will be deemed to borrow pro rata from each source of funds in the same proportion that the amount of funds invested by that source bears to the total amount of funds invested in the System Money Pool.
Section 1.5.    Interest.
(a)    Borrowings from the System Money Pool shall accrue interest on their unpaid principal amount from the respective dates of such borrowings until such principal amount shall be paid in full.  Investments of funds in the System Money Pool shall accrue interest on the unpaid principal amount of such investments from the respective dates of such investments until such principal amount shall be repaid in full.  Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears and upon payment (including prepayment) in full of the unpaid principal amount of the loan or investment, as applicable.
(b)    The interest rate for all borrowings from and investments in the System Money Pool shall be an interest rate (the “Composite Rate”), determined monthly, equal to the weighted average daily interest rate on (i) short-term external borrowings by CPG plus (ii) earnings on external investments by CPG.
Section 1.6.    Repayment.  Each Eligible Participant receiving a loan under this Agreement shall repay the principal amount of such loan, together with all interest accrued on such loan, on demand and in any event within one year of the date on which such loan was made.  All loans made through the System Money Pool may be prepaid by the borrower without premium or penalty and without prior notice.
Section 1.7.    Form of Loans to Parties.  Loans to the Eligible Participants through the System Money Pool will be made pursuant to open-account advances; provided, that each Party investing funds in the System Money Pool shall at all times be entitled to receive upon demand one or more promissory notes evidencing any and all investments by such Party.  Any such note shall:  (a) be substantially in the form attached as Attachment B to this agreement, (b) be dated as of the date of the initial borrowing, and (c) mature on demand or on a date agreed by the Parties to the transaction, but in any event within one year after the date of the applicable borrowing.
ARTICLE II
OPERATION OF SYSTEM MONEY POOL
Section 2.1.    The Administrative Agent.  Columbia Pipeline Group Services Company is appointed to be the Administrative Agent for the System Money Pool with the duties prescribed in this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall perform its duties under the authority of the appropriate officers of the Parties.
Section 2.2.    Duties of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the determination of all applicable interest rates and charges to be applied to advances outstanding at any time under this Agreement, shall maintain records of all advances, interest charges and accruals, and interest and principal payments for purposes of this Agreement, and shall prepare periodic reports as to such matters for the Parties.  Separate records shall be kept by the Administrative Agent for the System Money Pool established by this Agreement and any other money pool administered by it.
Section 2.3.    Investment of Surplus Funds in the System Money Pool.
