THIRD AMENDMENT TO

CONNECTICUT NATURAL GAS CORPORATION

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

 

This Amendment made this 14th day of December, 1999, by Connecticut
Natural Gas Corporation ("CNG"), for the purpose of amending its Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan");

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, by written Plan instrument dated February 26, 1999, CNG
adopted an amended and restated Deferred Compensation Plan; and

WHEREAS, CNG wishes to amend the Plan in the particulars set forth below;
and

WHEREAS, CNG reserved the right to amend the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Plan was previously amended by a First Amendment thereto and
a Second Amendment thereto;

NOW, THEREFORE, CNG hereby amends the Plan as follows:

1.The following new paragraph (e) is added to Section 4.5,
effective October 1, 1999:

"(e)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5,
subject to such rules as the Committee may prescribe, amounts deferred under
Sections 4.1(a) through (c), 4.1(d), and 4.2 may be assumed to be deferred more
frequently than monthly (as of the last day of each month), or as of a different
date or dates within the month, in order to pattern more closely the Company's
payroll practices and procedures in effect from time to time.  However, this
timing difference shall not result in an increase in the amount to be deferred
under the Plan.  Such amounts may be utilized (by the Company or the Trustee of
a "rabbi trust" established in conjunction with this Plan) to purchase assets at
such earlier time as the deferral is deemed to have occurred, or within a
reasonable period of time thereafter, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.5(d) hereof."

2.Except as hereinabove modified and amended, the Plan, as amended,
shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CNG hereby executes this Amendment on the day and
year first above written.

349402FOURTH AMENDMENT TO

CONNECTICUT NATURAL GAS CORPORATION 

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

 

The Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation Deferred Compensation
Plan, as amended and restated effective as of March 1, 1999 (the "Plan"), is
hereby amended as follows effective as of Nov 30, 1999:

1.By deleting Section 6.4 of the Plan and inserting in
lieu thereof the following:
"6.4Modifications. A Participant may revise any
payment election, as to future contributions only, by December 31 of the year
preceding the year for which such contributions shall be deemed to be made.  In
addition, a Participant may change from time to time his or her payment
election(s) with respect to the payment of the entire balances in Accounts A
and/or B, except that no such payment election change shall be effective under
the Plan unless it is filed with the Committee at least one year prior to the
date on which the Participant's employment terminates by retirement or for any
other reason.  Any payment election or change therein shall be made on an
election form provided by the Committee. 

2.By adding a new Section 6.9 after 6.8 of the Plan as
follows:
"6.9Delay In and Approval of Distributions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the distribution of all or any
portion of a Participant's Accounts will be delayed for a period not to exceed
seven months or may be subject to prior approval by the Compensation Committee
(the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of CTG or by the Board
of Directors of CTG to the extent that the Committee determines that such delay
or approval is necessary or desirable to ensure that any transaction under the
Plan will qualify for an exemption from the liability provisions imposed on the
Participant under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or any rules and regulations issued thereunder.  In the event of any
such delay, the undistributed Accounts shall continue to be subject to
investment adjustment until distribution is made."

3.Except as hereinabove modified and amended, the Plan,
as amended, shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation
hereby executes this First Amendment this 14th day of December, 1999.
