      Peoples Reconciliation Dockets. At its February 8, 2006 Bench Session, after
      concerns were raised by certain Commissioners as to whether the consideration
      being paid in the Settlement was fair value in exchange for the settlement
      of
      all of the Peoples Reconciliation Dockets, the Commission asked that the
      Settling Parties meet with Commission Staff and the State&#8217;s Attorney to
      negotiate settlement terms that all parties could accept to settle the Peoples
      Reconciliation Dockets.</font></div>

      the next several weeks, Commission Staff, the State&#8217;s Attorney and the Settling
      Parties met on several occasions. In addition, Commission Staff Witnesses issued
      several data requests to the Peoples Companies, which the Peoples Companies
      responded to on an expedited basis. Based on those responses, Commission Staff
      developed for fiscal years other than 2001 an estimate of potential
      disallowances that Commission Staff asserted should be considered as part of
      the
      Settlement. Based on those discussions, the Settling Parties executed an
      Amendment and Addendum to the Settlement (the &#8220;Addendum&#8221;), which modified the
      terms of the Settlement to include these additional agreements and
      modifications, which the Settling Parties would support if the Commission were
      to approve the Settlement. A copy of the Addendum is attached hereto as Exhibit
      2. The Commission Staff and the States Attorney did not agree with either the
      Settlement or the Addendum.</font></div>

      Commission finds that the Settlement Agreement, as revised by the Addendum,
      is a
      legal and reasonable compromise of potential disallowances North Shore might
      have to pay based on allegedly imprudent gas costs in fiscal year 2002. This
      finding is supported by the unanimous agreement of the parties to this Docket.
      The refund described above in &#8220;IV.A - Distribution of the $100 Million Refund,&#8221;
shall be made as described in this Order. The adoption of the Settlement and
      Addendum concludes the 2002 PGA reconciliation of North Shore and, based upon
      the Settlement, the Commission concludes that the 2002 PGA reconciliation,
      as
      shown in Appendix A hereto, should be approved. The Settlement and Addendum
