Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans Effective on or before the Distribution Date, Columbia shall adopt, establish and maintain nonqualified deferred compensation plans for the benefit of employees of the Columbia Parties (the “Columbia Deferred Compensation Plans”) and shall establish one or more grantor trusts to be a source of providing benefits thereunder (the “Columbia Rabbi Trusts”) that in each case shall be substantially similar to the NiSource Deferred Compensation Plans and the grantor trusts maintained by NiSource with respect to the NiSource Deferred Compensation Plans (the “NiSource Rabbi Trusts”).

No “Prohibited Transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Pension Reform Act exists or will exist upon the execution and delivery of the Agreement or the performance by the parties hereto of their respective duties and obligations hereunder. Borrower will (1) at all times make prompt payment of contributions required to meet the minimum funding standards set forth in Sections 302 through 305 of the Pension Reform Act with respect to each of its Plans; (2) promptly, after the filing thereof, furnish to Agent copies of each annual report required to be filed pursuant to Section 103 of the Pension Reform Act in connection with each Plan for each Plan Year, including any certified financial statements or actuarial statements required pursuant to said Section 103; (3) notify Agent immediately of any fact, including, but not limited to, any Reportable Event arising in connection with any Plan which might constitute grounds for termination thereof by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a Trustee to administer the Plan; and (4) notify Agent of any “Prohibited Transaction” as that term is defined in Section 406 of the Pension Reform Act.
