                               ----------------

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

   The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors
of Dynegy for use at the annual meeting to be held on Friday, May 18, 2001 at
10:00 a.m., local time, at The Petroleum Club, 800 Bell Avenue, Suite 4300,
Houston, Texas 77002, or at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.
This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting, the proxy card, and
Dynegy's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2000,
including financial statements, will be first sent or given to Dynegy's
shareholders on or about April 23, 2001. The Annual Report does not constitute
a part of the proxy soliciting material.

Quorum and Vote Required

   The presence of the votes of a majority of the shares of Dynegy's Class A
common stock, no par value per share, and Class B common stock, no par value
per share, counted together, represented in person or by proxy at the annual
meeting and entitled to vote on a matter, will constitute a quorum for
consideration of that matter at the meeting for such quorum purposes.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted in determining the number of
shares present at the meeting. A "broker non-vote" occurs if a broker or other
nominee who holds shares in "street" name for customers who are beneficial
owners of those shares does not have discretionary authority and has not
received instructions with respect to a particular item from the customer.
Broker non-votes as to a particular matter do not count toward the
determination of the shares represented in person or by proxy on the
particular matter.

   Election of Directors. In accordance with Dynegy's Articles of
Incorporation, the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to elect
eleven directors and the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to elect
three directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of shares of
Class A common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is
required to elect a director. Under Illinois law and Dynegy's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, abstentions would have the effect of votes against
the election of directors. Under Illinois law and Dynegy's Articles of
Incorporation, holders of Class A common stock (but not Class B common stock)
are entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of the Class A directors.

   All holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to eleven votes (the
number of Class A common stock directors to be elected) for each of their
shares for candidates nominated to serve as directors. Holders of Class A
common stock may cast their votes equally for all candidates or may cast all
of their votes for any one candidate whose name has been placed in nomination
prior to the voting, or distribute their votes among two or more candidates in
such proportion as they desire.

   Amendment and Restatement of Articles of Incorporation. Under Dynegy's
Articles of Incorporation, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B
common stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on the proposal
to amend and restate the Articles of Incorporation. The holders of Class A
common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share.
The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Class A
common stock and the Class B common stock, entitled to vote, is required to
approve the proposal to amend and restate Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation.
Abstentions and broker non-votes would have the same legal effect as a vote
against this proposal.

   Ratification of Independent Auditors. Under Dynegy's Articles of
Incorporation, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock
are entitled to vote together as a single class on the ratification of

                                       1


auditors. The holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are
entitled to one vote for each share. A majority of the votes of the shares of
Class A common stock and Class B common stock, represented in person or by
proxy, and entitled to vote is required to ratify the selection of auditors.
Under Illinois law, an abstention would have the same legal effect as a vote
against this proposal, but a broker non-vote would not be counted for purposes
of determining shares represented in person or by proxy on the matter.

No Appraisal Rights

   Under Illinois law, no holder of Class A common stock or Class B common
stock has appraisal rights in connection with any proposal to be acted upon at
the annual meeting.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares

   The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 30, 2001,
as the record date for determining holders of outstanding shares of Class A
common stock and Class B common stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the
annual meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. As of the
record date, there were outstanding 239,036,975 shares of Class A common
stock, and 86,499,914 shares of Class B common stock, respectively. Class A
common stock and Class B common stock are the only classes of outstanding
securities of Dynegy entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

   The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Dynegy. Proxies may be
solicited by mail, telecopy, telegraph or telex, or by directors, officers or
employees of Dynegy, in person or by telephone. Dynegy has retained Mellon
Investor Services LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of
$8,500. Dynegy will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees
and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding
solicitation material to the beneficial owners of common stock.

   Questions concerning the proposals to be acted upon at the annual meeting
should be directed to Dynegy's Secretary at (713) 507-6400. Additional copies
of this Proxy Statement or the proxy card may be obtained from Dynegy's
Investor Relations Department at Dynegy's principal executive office. The
mailing address of Dynegy's principal executive office is 1000 Louisiana,
Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002.

Revocation of Proxies

   The enclosed proxy, even though executed and returned, may be revoked at
any time prior to the voting of the proxy by (i) the execution and submission
of a revised proxy (including an Internet or telephone vote), (ii) written
notice to the Secretary of Dynegy, or (iii) voting in person at the annual
meeting. In the absence of such revocation, shares represented by proxies will
be voted at the annual meeting.

Voting by Telephone or Internet

   Shareholders of record can simplify their voting and reduce Dynegy's cost
by voting their shares via telephone or the Internet. The telephone and
Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders'
identities, allow shareholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their
instructions have been properly recorded. If a shareholder's shares are held
in the name of a bank or broker, the availability of telephone and Internet
voting will depend upon the voting processes of the bank or broker.
Accordingly, shareholders should follow the voting instructions on the form
they receive from their bank or broker. If you choose to cumulate your votes
other than equally for Directors you MAY NOT use Internet or telephone voting,
you MUST vote by returning this proxy card in the envelope provided.

                                       2


   Shareholders who elect to vote via the Internet may incur
telecommunications and Internet access charges and other costs for which they
are solely responsible. The Internet and telephone voting facilities for
shareholders of record will close at 4:00 p.m., eastern standard time, on
evening before the annual meeting.

Voting by Mail

   Shareholders who elect to vote by mail are asked to date, sign and return
the enclosed proxy card using the postage paid envelope provided. The persons
named as proxies on the proxy card were designated by the Board of Directors.
Any proxy given pursuant to such solicitation and received prior to the annual
meeting will be voted as specified in such proxy. Unless otherwise instructed
or unless authority to vote is withheld, proxies will be voted FOR the
election of the nominees to the Board of Directors, equally or cumulatively as
the proxies may determine, FOR the proposal to amend and restate Dynegy's
Articles of Incorporation, FOR ratification of the appointment of Arthur
Andersen LLP, and in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the
proxy on such other matters as may properly come before such meeting or any
adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

Form 10-K

   Shareholders may obtain, without charge, a copy of Dynegy's 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For
copies, please contact Dynegy's Investor Relations Department at Dynegy's

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

   Eleven Class A common stock directors are to be elected at the annual
meeting by the shareholders of Class A common stock. The affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes of shares of Class A common stock represented in person
or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect a director. Under
Illinois law and Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, abstentions
would have the effect of votes against the election of directors. Under
Illinois law and Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation, holders of Class A common
stock are entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of the Class A
directors.

   All holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to eleven votes (the
number of Class A common stock directors to be elected) for each of their
shares for candidates nominated to serve as directors. Holders of Class A
common stock may cast their votes equally for all candidates or may cast all
of their votes for any one candidate whose name has been placed in nomination
prior to the voting, or distribute their votes among two or more candidates in
such proportion as they desire. If you are a holder of Class A common stock
and you choose to cumulate your votes other than equally for Directors, you
MAY NOT use Internet or telephone voting, you MUST vote by returning this
proxy card in the envelope provided.

   Unless otherwise instructed or unless authority to vote is withheld, the
enclosed proxy will be voted FOR the election of the nominees listed below
equally or cumulatively as the proxies may determine. Although the Board of
Directors does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to
serve, if such a situation arises prior to the annual meeting, the persons
appointed in the enclosed proxy will vote for the election of such other
person(s) as may be nominated by the Board of Directors.

   Under Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation, Chevron, the sole holder of Class
B common stock, is entitled to nominate and vote as a single class for three
nominees to the Board of Directors.

   Nine of the eleven nominees for Class A common stock director and each of
the three nominees for Class B common stock director is currently a director
of Dynegy. Messrs. McMillan and Powers will not be standing for re-election as
Class A common stock directors. The following table sets forth information
regarding the names, ages and principal occupations of the current directors
and nominees for director, other directorships held by them in certain
companies and, if applicable, the length of their continuous service as a
director of Dynegy.

Compensation of Directors

   Following the Dynegy/Illinova Merger, each non-employee director of Dynegy
was paid an annual retainer of $25,000 per year, $30,000 per year for
Committee Chairpersons, plus $1,500 per board or committee meeting attended.
In addition, each director is entitled to reimbursement for his or her
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with travel to and
from, and attendance at, meetings of the Dynegy Board of Directors or
committees thereof. During 2000, each non-employee director also had the
option to receive shares of common stock, in lieu of cash, in payment of their
annual retainer and meeting fees pursuant to the terms of the Dynegy Inc. Non-
Employee Director Compensation Plan. Each director of Dynegy, other than
Messrs. Watson and Bergstrom, is a non-employee director for purposes of such
plan. During 2000, the annual retainer and meeting fees payable to Chevron
employee representatives on the Dynegy Board of Directors were paid directly
to Chevron. Each non-employee director also had the option to defer any cash
they received in payment of their annual retainer and meeting fees pursuant to
the terms of the Dynegy Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Directors.

   All non-employee directors of Dynegy are entitled to receive options to
purchase 6,000 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price equal to
the market value of such stock on the day of their election at the annual
meeting or appointment to the Board of Directors. The annual award of 6,000
options (18,000 options in the aggregate) attributable to the services of the
three Chevron designees on the Board of Directors is granted in favor of
Chevron. Chevron receives options to purchase shares of Class B common stock.
Dynegy intends to make annual option grants a part of its non-employee
director compensation package.

   In January 2001, Dynegy's Board of Directors approved certain changes to
Dynegy's director compensation package. The annual retainer was increased from
$25,000 to $30,000 with 50% payable in Dynegy common stock and the remaining
50% payable in either stock or cash at the election of the Directors.
Directors who are employees of Dynegy or employees of Chevron will no longer
be paid for their services. The Board also adopted a guideline pursuant to
which all Directors would be required to own Dynegy common stock with a
minimum value of two times their annual retainer within two years of their
appointment to the Board.

(1) Each of the Named Executive Officers is entitled to receive certain annual
    market value stock option grants during the term of their respective
    employment agreements. See "--Employment Agreements." Option awards based
    on 2000 performance were granted January 19, 2001.

    value of each grant of options assuming that the market price of common
    stock appreciates in value from the date of grant at the 5% and 10% annual

    possible future appreciation, if any, of the price of common stock.

requires Dynegy's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more

of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. Executive officers, directors and
greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish

Plan. Mr. Young's current base salary is $290,000. Mr. Young was paid a
signing bonus of $55,000 in connection with his execution of the employment
agreement. Under the terms of his employment agreement, all options granted to
Mr. Young prior to November 1, 1999 became fully vested as of February 1,
2000. The employment agreement also provides that Mr. Young is entitled to
receive stock option grants each year during the term of the agreement. On
January 19, 2001, Mr. Young was awarded a grant of options to purchase 60,000
shares of common stock with an exercise price of $47.19 per share. The
employment agreement contains non-compete provisions in the event of Mr.
Young's termination of employment.

   Robert D. Doty, Jr. Mr. Doty's 2000 compensation was determined under the
terms of a two-year employment agreement between Dynegy Marketing and Trade
and Mr. Doty, pursuant to which Mr. Doty serves as Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer of Dynegy. Mr. Doty's employment agreement entitles
him to a base salary of $225,000, subject to increase at the discretion of the
Board of Directors, and the annual opportunity to earn additional bonus
amounts, dependent upon certain financial or performance objectives, as a
participant in the Incentive Compensation Plan. Mr. Doty's current base salary
is $310,000. Mr. Doty was paid a signing bonus of $25,000 in connection with
his execution of the employment agreement. Under the terms of his employment
agreement, all options granted to Mr. Doty prior to November 1, 1999 became
fully vested as of February 1, 2000. The employment agreement also provides
that Mr. Doty is entitled to receive stock option grants each year during the
term of the agreement. On January 19, 2001, Mr. Doty was awarded a grant of
options to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of
$47.19 per share. The employment agreement contains non-compete provisions in
the event of Mr. Doty's termination of employment.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

   Compensation Committee/Options Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation. The Compensation Committee and the Options Committee of the
Dynegy Board of Directors made decisions regarding compensation for executive
officers in 2000. The base compensation, bonus amounts and stock option grants
for 2000 for each of Messrs. Watson, Bergstrom, Randolph, Young and Doty were
established pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements.
For further information, see "--Employment Agreements."

   Following the completion of the Dynegy/Illinova Merger on February 1, 2000
and from time to time during the remainder of 2000, the Dynegy Compensation
Committee has been comprised of the following directors: Messrs. Dienstbier,
Adorjan (until November 2000), Bayless, Callahan and Ms. Eckert. The Options
Committee has been comprised of Messrs. Adorjan (until November 2000),
Bayless, Dienstbier and Ms. Eckert. None of the members of either the
Compensation Committee nor the Options Committee has ever been an officer or
employee of Dynegy. Mr. Callahan serves as Executive Vice President of Chevron
Corporation. Dynegy has engaged in various transactions with Chevron and its
respective affiliates, as described below.

   Business Relationships with Chevron; Chevron's Other Businesses. Various
business relationships between Chevron and Dynegy, together with Chevron's
operations as a major vertically integrated energy company, may present
conflicts of interest as Chevron and Dynegy each pursue business
opportunities.

   Ancillary Agreements and Strategic Alliances Contemplated by the Chevron
Combination. In connection with the August 1996 business combination with
Chevron (the "Chevron Combination"), Dynegy and Chevron,

                                      15


or affiliates thereof, entered into certain supply, sales and service
agreements pursuant to which, among other things, Dynegy has (i) the
obligation to purchase and the right to market substantially all natural gas
and natural gas liquids produced or controlled by Chevron in the United States
(except Alaska) and to supply natural gas and natural gas liquids feedstock to
Chevron refineries and Chevron Chemical plants in the United States, (ii) the
right to participate in existing and future opportunities to provide
electricity to United States facilities of Chevron and Chevron Chemical, as
well as to purchase or market excess electricity generated by such facilities,
and (iii) the right to process substantially all of Chevron's processable
natural gas in those geographic areas where it is economically feasible for
Dynegy to provide such service. During 2000, Dynegy purchased $3.1 billion of
natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil produced or controlled by
Chevron, and sold $1.4 billion of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude
oil to Chevron refineries and Chevron Chemical plants in the United States.

   In 1996, Dynegy and Chevron formed Venice Gas Processing Company, a Texas
limited partnership. Venice Gas was formed for the purpose of owning and
operating the Venice Complex, located in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. In
1997, Venice Gas reorganized as a limited liability company changing its name
to Venice Energy Services Company, L.L.C. In September 1997, Venice Energy
members agreed to expand ownership in Venice Energy to include an affiliate of
Shell Midstream Enterprises, a subsidiary of Shell Oil Company effective
September 1, 1997, in exchange for Shell's commitment of certain offshore
reserves to Venice

   Energy. In 1998, ownership in Venice Energy was again expanded to include
Koch Energy Services Company, in exchange for their contribution of the
cryogenic processing unit. At December 31, 1999, Dynegy's interest in Venice
Energy approximated 22.9 percent. Dynegy operates the facility and has
commercial responsibility for product distribution and sales.

   Other Chevron Business. Chevron Corporation, the parent company of Chevron,
is a major vertically integrated oil and gas company, and is the sixth largest
oil and gas company (by revenues) in the world. Chevron Corporation, through
its subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures, is involved in exploration
and production of oil and gas, gas gathering, gas and NGL transportation and
storage, refining and distribution (wholesale and retail).

   Accordingly, Chevron Corporation's present operation and its pursuit of
additional gas services opportunities overlap with Dynegy's operations and
strategy. There are no contractual limits on Chevron Corporation's ability to
compete with Dynegy. Accordingly, conflicts of interest may arise between
Chevron Corporation, and its affiliates, and Dynegy as they each pursue
natural gas services business opportunities. These conflicts may be resolved
in favor of Chevron Corporation.

   In connection with the merger, Dynegy and Chevron entered into a
shareholders agreement which allows the Chevron-designated Class B common
stock Directors to block certain corporate transactions. Chevron is Dynegy's
largest shareholder and currently owns approximately 27 percent of the voting
securities of Dynegy.

   Brokerage Commissions. Caldwell Nyberg Interests, Inc. ("CNI") assisted
Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. ("Cushman & Wakefield") as a cooperating broker in
securing the Company's office headquarters lease in 1996. C. L. Watson,
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, owns a 50%
passive investment interest in CNI. In 2000, CNI's successor, Caldwell Watson
Real Estate Group ("CWREG"), was paid a commission as a participating broker
in the amount of $104,680.

Audit Committee Report

   Dynegy's Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee of
independent directors, which operates under a written charter adopted by the
Board of Directors. A copy of the charter is attached to this proxy statement
as Appendix B. Dynegy's management is responsible for establishing a system of
internal controls and for preparing the Company's consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Dynegy's independent accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP, are responsible for
auditing the Company's

                                      16


consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and issuing their report based on such audit. Under the
Audit Committee's charter, the primary function of the Audit Committee is to
assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities as
to these processes. The Audit Committee's functions also include the selection
and evaluation of the independent auditors, the review, in conjunction with
the independent auditors, of the plans and scope of the audit engagement and a
review with the independent auditors of their objectivity and independence.

   In connection with the preparation of the audited financial statements
included in Dynegy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2000:

  .  The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial
     statements with management of the Company.

  .  The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the matters
     required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 and
     Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90. In general, these auditing
     standards require the auditors to communicate to the Audit Committee
     certain matters that are incidental to the audit, such as any initiation
     of or changes to significant accounting policies, management judgments,
     accounting estimates and audit adjustments, disagreements with
     management and the auditors' judgment about the quality of Dynegy's
     accounting principles.

  .  The Audit Committee received from the independent auditors written
     disclosures regarding their independence required by Independence
     Standards Board Standard No. 1 and discussed with the auditors their
     independence. In general, Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1
     requires the auditors to disclose to the Audit Committee any
     relationship between the auditors and its related entities and Dynegy
     that in the auditor's professional judgment may reasonably be thought to
     bear on independence.

   Based on the review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee
recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 be included in Dynegy's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

   This report is submitted by the members of the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors:

   J. Otis Winters (Chairman)
   C. Steven McMillan
   Robert M. Powers
   Joe J. Stewart
   Jerry L. Johnson

Independent Auditors

   The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has approved the selection of
Arthur Andersen LLP as independent auditors to examine Dynegy's accounts for
the year ending December 31, 2001. Representatives of Arthur Andersen LLP are
expected to be present at the meeting to be available to respond to
appropriate questions.

   Set forth below is a summary of certain fees paid to Arthur Andersen LLP
for services in 2000 and for the 2000 audit. In determining the independence
of Arthur Andersen LLP, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision
of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining Arthur Andersen LLP's
independence.

   Audit Fees. The total fees, including reimbursement of expenses, Dynegy
paid Arthur Andersen LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of
the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the
reviews of the financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q for the first
three quarters in 2000, were $3,198,500.

                                      17


   All Other Fees. The total fees, including reimbursement of expenses, Dynegy
paid Arthur Andersen LLP for professional services rendered in 2000 other than
for audit services were $4,119,500. During 2000, Arthur Andersen did not
furnish financial information systems design and implementation services to
Dynegy.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

   The Compensation Committee/Options Committee. The Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors is responsible for developing Dynegy's executive
compensation philosophy. It is the duty of the Compensation Committee to
administer the philosophy and its relationship with the compensation paid to
the Chief Executive Officer and each of the other executive officers. The 2000
Compensation Committee was chaired by Daniel L. Dienstbier, an independent
director, and was comprised of four members, including the Chairman. During
2000 following the Dynegy/Illinova Merger, the Compensation Committee met
seven times.

   Prior to the completion of the merger with Illinova on February 1, 2000,
the Options Committee of the Board of Directors was responsible for approving
awards under

  .  the Dynegy Employee Equity Option Plan;

  .  the Dynegy Amended and Restated 1991 Stock Option Plan;

  .  the Dynegy U.K. Stock Option Plan; and

  .  the Dynegy 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

   Upon completion of the merger with Illinova, all prior option plans were
terminated and the Options Committee thereafter approved awards under the
Dynegy 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan. During 2000 following the
Dynegy/Illinova Merger, the Options Committee met four times. During 2000
following the Dynegy/Illinova Merger, the Options Committee was comprised of
J. Joe Adorjan, Chairman until November 2000, Daniel L. Dienstbier, Chairman
after November 2000, Charles E. Bayless, and, beginning in November 2000 when
she replaced Mr. Adorjan as a member, Patricia M. Eckert.

   The executive compensation philosophy at Dynegy is to reward the
executive's performance in a way that creates long-term shareholder value.
Dynegy's executive compensation program was designed to help Dynegy attract,
motivate and retain the executive resources that it needs in order to maximize
its return to shareholders. Dynegy's goal is to provide its executives with a
total compensation package that--at expected levels of performance--is above
average compared with those provided to executives who hold comparable
positions or have similar qualifications in other similarly situated
organizations. Salary increases, annual incentive awards and long-term
incentive grants are reviewed annually to ensure consistency with Dynegy's
total compensation philosophy. Dynegy also seeks to encourage employee
participation in stock ownership, thereby aligning employees' interests with
those of shareholders and providing an incentive to increase shareholder
value. To achieve this goal, Dynegy makes extensive use of stock option awards
to executives, managers and key employees. Employee stock ownership is also
accomplished through Dynegy stock contributions to the 401(k) Plan.

   The Compensation Committee primarily compares Dynegy's executive
compensation program to other national energy merchants of comparable size.
The Compensation Committee also consults from time to time with outside
consultants experienced in executive compensation, and Dynegy has access to
and utilizes an extensive nationwide database that tracks pay trends for a
broad industry index in which Dynegy competes for executives and senior
management.

   During 2000, Dynegy's executive compensation program consisted of three
main components: (1) base salary; (2) potential for an annual incentive award
based on overall company performance as well as individual performance; and
(3) the opportunity to earn stock-based incentives, which are intended to
encourage the

                                      18


achievement of superior results over time and to align executive officer and
shareholder interests. The second and third elements constitute the "at risk"
portion of the compensation program.

   Base Salary. All decisions regarding base salary are made based upon
individual performance as measured against pre-established individual
objectives and competitive practices as measured by periodic compensation
surveys. Base salaries are targeted at competitive levels when compared to an
industry group that includes peer group companies, including those reflected
in the performance graph, and general industry companies similar in size to
Dynegy.

   Annual Incentive Awards. During 2000, Dynegy's mechanism for awarding
annual bonuses to its executive officers was the Dynegy Inc. Incentive
Compensation Plan for 2000. The Incentive Compensation Plan is used to provide
incentive payments to all non-union salaried employees of Dynegy. The basis
for the payment of annual bonuses under the Incentive Compensation Plan is a
combination of attaining certain corporate and/or business unit performance
goals recommended and approved by the Board of Directors (i.e., earnings per
share, net income, cash-flow, return on capital employed) and personal
performance.

   In 2000, Dynegy's financial results exceeded certain performance
thresholds. An incentive fund was created which was consistent with Dynegy's
pay for performance philosophy.

   Long Term Incentive Compensation. Prior to the completion of the
Dynegy/Illinova Merger on February 1, 2000, Dynegy administered four stock
option plans, the Employee Equity Option Plan, the Amended and Restated 1991
Stock Option Plan, the U.K. Stock Option Plan and the 1999 Long Term Incentive
Plan, for certain key employees, including executive officers. Following the
completion of the Dynegy/Illinova Merger, these four option plans were
replaced by the 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan. As such, Dynegy's long term
incentive compensation is based upon the grants of market value stock option
awards pursuant to the 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan. Such awards are
consistent with the stock option awards made by similarly situated companies
in Dynegy's industry who are aggressive in the use of stock option awards as a
means of long term compensation. During 2000, the Options Committee was
responsible for approving stock option awards. Stock option grants were
awarded to all executive officers of Dynegy during 2000.

   Compensation of Chief Executive Officer; Employment Agreement. Effective
upon the closing of the merger with Illinova on February 1, 2000, Dynegy
Marketing and Trade entered into a new three-year employment agreement with
Mr. Watson, pursuant to which Mr. Watson serves as Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Dynegy. Mr. Watson's new employment agreement entitles
him to a base salary of $1,500,000, subject to increase at the discretion of
the Board of Directors, and the annual opportunity to earn additional bonus
amounts, dependent upon certain financial or performance objectives, as a
participant in the Incentive Compensation Plan. Under the terms of the new
employment agreement all options granted to Mr. Watson prior to November 1,
1999 became fully vested as of February 1, 2000. The employment agreement also
contains non-compete provisions in the event of Mr. Watson's termination of
employment.

   In determining Mr. Watson's base salary adjustment and annual incentive
award for 2000, the Compensation Committee considered Mr. Watson's efforts in
executing Dynegy's long-term business strategy and the financial performance
of Dynegy.

   After consideration of these criteria and 2000 corporate performance, the
Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive award of $4,132,814 for
Mr. Watson. Mr. Watson also received a payment of $500,000 in February 2001
that was approved by the Board in November 1999 in recognition of Mr. Watson's
efforts in connection with the Dynegy/Illinova Merger. In addition, Mr.
Watson's base salary was increased to $1,560,000. Under the terms of his
employment agreement, Mr. Watson is also eligible to receive, each year during
the term of his agreement, stock option grants under the Dynegy 2000 Long Term
Incentive Plan with a target range at the 75th percentile of 375% of his base
salary. In January 2001, Mr. Watson received a grant of 681,924 options with
an exercise price of $47.19 per share.


                                      19


   Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 1993, generally disallows a tax deduction to
public companies for certain compensation over $1,000,000 paid to Dynegy's
Chief Executive Officer and four other most highly compensated executive
officers, as reported in this Proxy Statement. Excluded from the limitation is
compensation that is "performance based." For compensation to be performance
based, it must meet certain criteria, including being based on predetermined
objective standards approved by shareholders. Dynegy does not believe that
Section 162(m) applies to its corporate structure. However, in general, Dynegy
believes that compensation relating to options granted under its market value
stock option plan should be excluded from the $1,000,000 limitation.
Compensation relating to Dynegy's Incentive Compensation Plan does not
currently qualify for exclusion from limitation, given the discretion that is
provided to the Compensation Committee under such plans in determining the
actual amount of such awards. The Committee believes that maintaining the
discretion to evaluate the performance of Dynegy's management is an important
part of its responsibilities and inures to the benefit of Dynegy's
shareholders. The Compensation Committee, however, will continue to take into
account the potential application of Section 162(m) with respect to incentive
compensation awards and other compensation decisions made by it in the future.

   All amounts paid or accrued during fiscal year 2000 under the above-
described plans and programs are included in the preceding tables. The
individuals who served as members of the Compensation Committee during 2000
are listed below. No member of the Dynegy Compensation Committee or Options
Committee was an officer or employee of Dynegy or any of its subsidiaries
during 2000.

Shareholder Return Performance Presentation

   The performance graph shown on the following page was prepared by Standard
& Poor's Compustat, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc., using data from the
Standard & Poor's Compustat Database for use in this Proxy Statement. As
required by applicable rules of the SEC, the graph was prepared based upon the
following assumptions:

  1. One hundred dollars ($100) was invested in Dynegy common stock, the S&P
     500 and the Peer Group (as defined below) on December 31, 1995.

  2. The returns of each component company in the Peer Group are weighed
     based on the market capitalization of such company at the beginning of
     the measurement period.

  3. Dividends are reinvested on the ex-dividend dates.

   Dynegy's Peer Group for fiscal year-ended December 31, 2000 (the "New Peer
Group") is comprised of a weighted index of eight energy services companies:
The AES Corp., Calpine Corporation, Duke Energy Corp., El Paso Corporation,
Enron Corp., Reliant Energy Incorporated, The Williams Companies, Inc. and
Mirant Corp.; seven utilities: Ameren, Allete Company, Dominion Resources
Inc., Nstar Company, Southern Company, Inc.,

                                      20


Vectren and WPS Resources Corp.; and two midstream gas and natural gas liquids
companies: Mitchell Energy & Development Corporation and Western Gas Resources
Inc. The results were weighted 70% energy services group, 15% utilities group
and 15% midstream group to acknowledge Dynegy's continued evolution from a
producer and a marketer of natural gas and natural gas liquids to an energy
services company with an expanding presence in the BTU convergence market.
Dynegy's previous peer group was comprised of a weighted index of seven energy
services companies: AES Corporation, Calpine Corporation, Duke Energy Corp.,
Enron Corp., Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Reliant Energy Incorporated and
Southern Co.; seven utilities: Allegheny Energy Inc., American Electric Power
Corporation, Cinergy Corporation. Commonwealth Edison Corp., Dayton Power &
Light Company, FirstEnergy Corp. and NiSource Inc.; and two midstream gas and
natural gas liquids companies: Mitchell Energy & Development Corporation and
Western Gas Resources Inc. The results were weighted 65% energy services
group, 20% utilities group and 15% midstream group to acknowledge Dynegy's
evolution from a producer and a marketer of natural gas and natural gas
liquids to an energy services company with an expanding presence in the BTU
convergence market. The companies included in the New Peer Group differ
somewhat from Dynegy's previous peer group because such companies are more
representative of various peers that are compared to Dynegy in terms of
performance on an equity basis and because of certain industry consolidations.

                                  PROPOSAL 2

            AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

   Since the formation of Dynegy, the Company's Articles of Incorporation have
been amended a number of times to change the corporate name, to increase the
number of authorized shares and to set forth provisions relating to the Class
A common stock and the Class B common stock. In addition, the Board of
Directors established the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by resolution
as permitted by the Articles of Incorporation and applicable law. The Board of
Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of Dynegy and its
shareholders to amend and restate Dynegy's Articles of Incorporation to
consolidate the various amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, to
eliminate the designation of relative rights and preferences of Series A
convertible preferred stock previously established by resolution of the Board
of Directors, to eliminate any outdated information and to make other minor
stylistic, definitional, conforming and clarifying drafting alterations in a
single document. Specifically, the proposed amendment will capitalize defined
terms, delete duplicate definitions, renumber sections in a consistent manner
for the restated document, update the name and address of the registered agent
and correct typographical and grammatical errors. This proposed amendment and
restatement of the Articles of Incorporation is not intended to change any of
your existing rights as a shareholder.

   The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the
Class A common stock and the Class B common stock entitled to vote, voting
together as a single class, is required to approve the proposed amendment and
restatement of the Articles of Incorporation. Abstentions and broker non-votes
would have the same legal effect as a vote against the proposal. Although the
Articles of Incorporation provide that the Series A convertible preferred
stock votes together with the Class A common stock and Class B common stock as
a single class on such a proposal, no shares of the Series A convertible
preferred stock are currently outstanding and eligible to so vote.

   The Board of Directors believes the proposed amendment and restatement of
the Articles of Incorporation, in the form attached to this Proxy Statement as
Appendix A, is in the best interests of Dynegy and recommends that
shareholders vote "FOR" the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

                                  PROPOSAL 3

              RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

   The Board of Directors has appointed the firm of Arthur Andersen LLP as
independent auditors of Dynegy for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001
and recommends ratification by the shareholders of such appointment. Such
ratification requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of
Class A common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as a single
class, present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual
meeting. Under Illinois law, an abstention would have the same legal effect as
a vote against this proposal, but a broker non-vote would not be counted for
purposes of determining shares represented in person or by proxy on the
matter. The persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for
ratification of such appointment unless instructed otherwise on the proxy.

   In the event the appointment is not ratified, the Board of Directors will
consider the appointment of other independent auditors. The Board of Directors
may terminate the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as Dynegy's independent
auditors without the approval of the shareholders of Dynegy whenever the Board
of Directors deems such termination necessary or appropriate. A representative
of Arthur Andersen LLP is expected to attend the annual meeting and will be
available to respond to appropriate questions.

   The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" ratification
of the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as independent auditors.

   Any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in the proxy
material and for presentation at Dynegy's 2002 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
must forward such proposal to the Secretary of Dynegy at the address indicated
on the first page of this Proxy Statement so that the Secretary receives it no
later than December 24, 2001.

                                 OTHER MATTERS

   The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters that are to be
presented for action at the annual meeting. However, if any other matters
properly come before the annual meeting or any adjournment(s) or
postponement(s) thereof, it is intended that the enclosed proxy will be voted
in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the proxy.

                                          By Order of the Board of Directors,

   Paragraph 2: The preferences, qualifications, limitations, restrictions and
special or relative rights in respect of the shares of each class are:

A. General

   All holders of Class A Common Stock (as defined) shall be entitled to
cumulative voting rights, as that term is used in Section 7.40 of the Illinois
Business Corporation Act of 1983, as amended from time to time (the "IBCA"),
in any election of directors. Holders of Class B Common Stock (as defined)
shall not be entitled to cumulative voting rights.

                                      A-1


B. Provisions Relating to Preferred Stock

  (1)  The total number of shares of preferred stock that the Corporation
       shall have authority to issue is 70,000,000, no par value per share
       (the "Preferred Stock").

  (2)  Authority is hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors (the
       "Board") to divide, and to provide for the issue from time to time of,
       the Preferred Stock in series and to fix and determine as to each such
       series:

    (a)  the designation of, and the number of shares to be issuable in,
         such series;

    (b)  the dividend rate for the shares for such series;

    (c)  the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions on
         which, such shares may be redeemed;

    (d)  the amount payable upon each of such shares in the event of
         involuntary dissolution of the Corporation;

    (e)  the amount payable upon each of such shares in the event of
         voluntary dissolution of the Corporation;

    (f)  sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of
         such shares (the term "sinking fund," as used herein, including
         any analogous fund, however designated);

    (g)  if such shares are to be issued with the privilege of conversion
         into shares of the Common Stock or other securities, the terms and
         conditions on which such shares may be so converted; and

    (h)  the voting rights or the grant of special voting rights, provided
         that the voting rights of such Preferred Stock are no greater in
         proportion than to the economic interest of such Shares.

   In all other respects the shares of Preferred Stock of all series shall be
identical. Holders of Preferred Stock shall have no preemptive rights.

   Additional series of Preferred Stock may be issued pursuant to designation
by resolution of the Board of Directors and such series may have preferences
which are junior to, parri passu with or superior to an outstanding series of
Preferred Stock set forth in these articles of incorporation or created by
designation without any vote of such outstanding series of Preferred Stock
unless the designation or terms of the outstanding series of Preferred Stock
expressly provides otherwise.

   So long as any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock established by
resolution of the Board of Directors shall be outstanding, such resolution
shall not be amended so as to affect any of the preferences or other rights of
the holders of the shares of such series without the affirmative vote or the
written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of such
series outstanding at the time or as of a record date fixed by the Board of
Directors, but such resolution may be so amended with such vote or consent.

   [The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share,
consisting of 6,697,776 shares, previously established and designated by
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation on January 31, 2000,
of which no shares remain currently outstanding, is deleted as of the date of
filing of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.]

C. Provisions Relating to Common Stock

  (1)  The total number of shares of common stock that the Corporation shall
       have authority to issue is 1,260,000,000 of which (i) 900,000,000
       shares shall be shares of Class A Common Stock, no par value per share
       (the "Class A Common Stock"), and (ii) 360,000,000 shares shall be
       shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Class B
       Common Stock," and together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common
       Stock").

                                      A-2


  (2)  Holders of the Common Stock shall have no preemptive rights. Except as
       contemplated by Article 4, Paragraph 2C., each outstanding share of
       Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote (and not
       more than one vote) on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
       holders of Common Stock.

  (3)  The following is a statement of the relative powers, preferences and
       participating, optional or other special rights, and the
       qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Class A Common
       Stock and Class B Common Stock:

    (a)  Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock

       Except as otherwise set forth in this Article 4, Paragraph 2C., the
    relative powers, preferences and participating, optional or other
    special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of
    the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be identical in
    all respects.

       (b)  Dividends

       Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, and subject
    to any other provisions of these Articles, holders of Common Stock
    shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in
    cash, stock of any corporation (other than Common Stock) or property of
    the Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors
    from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally
    available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in all
    such dividends and other distributions. In the case of dividends or
    other distributions payable in Common Stock, including distributions
    pursuant to stock splits or divisions of Common Stock, only shares of
    Class A Common Stock shall be paid or distributed with respect to Class
    A Common Stock and only shares of Class B Common Stock shall be paid or
    distributed with respect to Class B Common Stock. The number of shares
    of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock so distributed on each
    share shall be equal in number. Neither the shares of Class A Common
    nor the shares of Class B Common Stock may be reclassified, subdivided
    or combined unless such reclassification, subdivision or combination
    occurs simultaneously and in the same proportion for each class.

       (c)  Voting

       (i) Except as may be otherwise required by law or by the provisions
    of this Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(c), the holders of the Class B
    Common Stock shall vote together with the holders of the Class A Common
    Stock as a single class on every matter coming before any meeting of
    the shareholders or otherwise to be acted upon by the shareholders,
    subject to any voting rights which may be granted to holders of any
    other class or series of Preferred Stock. So long as any Class B Common
    Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall not (x) without the
    affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the shares of Class A and Class B Common
    Stock outstanding, voting as a single class, effect any mergers,
    consolidations, reorganizations, or sales of assets requiring
    shareholder approval under the IBCA or disposition of all or
    substantially all of the Corporation's assets, or (y) without the
    affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the shares of Class B Common Stock
    outstanding, voting as a separate class, and the affirmative vote of a
    majority of the shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock, voting as a
    single class, (1) amend any provision of this Article 4,
    Paragraph 2C.(3)(c)(i) relating to the Common Stock or (2) (unless such
    amendment shall be approved by a majority of the Class B directors
    present at the meeting where such amendment is considered and a
    majority of the Directors then in office) amend Section 7 of
    Article III or Article X of the Corporation's By-laws.


       (ii) The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consist of at
    least twelve members and no more than fifteen members as established
    from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors, except that
    such numbers are subject to automatic adjustment as necessary, under
    those circumstances and during those time periods that holders of any
    other class or series of the Corporation's outstanding Preferred Stock
    have rights to elect members of the Board of Directors (the "Preferred
    Stock Directors"), as set forth in these Articles of Incorporation or
    in the resolution of the Board of Directors

                                      A-3


    establishing and designating such series and fixing and determining the
    relative rights and preferences thereof. So long as any shares of
    Class B Common Stock are outstanding, the holders of the Class B Common
    Stock, as such holders, shall be entitled to vote as a separate class
    for the election of three directors of the Corporation (the "Class B
    Directors") and the holders of the Class A Common Stock shall be
    entitled to vote as a separate class for the remaining directors of the
    Corporation (the "Class A Directors"), excluding Preferred Stock
    Directors, if any. At such time as no Class B Common Stock is
    outstanding, the term of all Class B Directors shall immediately end.

       (iii) For purposes of electing Class B Directors, the Board of
    Directors will nominate such individuals as may be specified by a
    majority vote of the then existing Class B Directors or, if there are
    no Class B Directors, by holders of a majority of the Class B Common
    Stock. The remaining directors will be nominated in accordance with the
    Corporation's Bylaws.

       (iv) At any meeting having as a purpose the election of directors by
    holders of the Common Stock, the presence, in person or by proxy, of
    the holders of a majority of the shares of the relevant class or
    classes of Common Stock then outstanding shall be required and be
    sufficient to constitute a quorum of such class or classes for the
    election of any director by such holders. Each director shall be
    elected by the vote or written consent required under the IBCA of the
    holders of such class or classes. At any such meeting or adjournment
    thereof, (i) the absence of a quorum of such holders of an applicable
    class of Common Stock shall not prevent the election of the directors
    to be elected by the holders of shares other than such class of Common
    Stock, and (ii) in the absence of such quorum (either of holders of
    such class of Common Stock or of shares other than such class of Common
    Stock, or both), a majority of the holders, present in person or by
    proxy, of the class or classes of stock which lack a quorum shall have
    power to adjourn the meeting for the election of directors which they
    are entitled to elect, from time to time, without notice other than
    announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

       (v) Any vacancy in the office of a class of director may be filled
    by the remaining directors of such class, unless such vacancy occurred
    because of the removal (with or without cause) of a director, in which
    event such vacancy shall be filled by the affirmative vote of the
    holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the applicable class
    of Common Stock. Any or all of the directors may be removed, with or
    without cause, by vote or by written consent in each case in accordance
    with Section 8.35 of the IBCA by the holders of the applicable class of
    Common Stock and not otherwise. Any director elected to fill a vacancy
    shall serve the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor,
    subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement,
    disqualification, or removal from office.

       (vi) Without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3%
    of the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock or the written
    consent of such holders of the Class B Common Stock, the Corporation
    may not effect any change in the rights, privileges or preferences of
    the Class B Common Stock. This provision shall not be applicable to any
    amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or adoption of resolutions
    of the Board of Directors which establishes or designates one or more
    classes or series of Preferred Stock in accordance with Article 4,
    Paragraph 2B.(2).

       (vii) With respect to actions by the holders of Class B Common Stock
    upon those matters on which such holders are entitled to vote as a
    separate class, such actions may be taken without a shareholders
    meeting by the written consent of holders of the Class B Common Stock
    who would be entitled to vote at a meeting those shares having voting
    power to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
    necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all
    shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote were present and voted.
    Notice shall be given in accordance with the applicable provisions of
    the IBCA of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less
    than unanimous written consent to those holders of Class B Common Stock
    on the record date whose shares were not represented on the written
    consent.

                                      A-4


    (d)  Transfer

       (i) If any person holding shares of Class B Common Stock of record
    (a "Class B Holder") purports to transfer such shares of Class B Common
    Stock, whether by sale, assignment, gift, bequest or otherwise, except
    to a Permitted Transferee, such transfer shall be deemed to constitute
    a request by the Class B Holder for conversion of such shares and shall
    result in such shares being converted into Class A Common Stock as
    provided by Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(e).

       (ii) In the case of a Class B Holder acquiring record and beneficial
    ownership of the shares of Class B Common Stock in question upon
    initial issuance by the Corporation (an "Original Holder"), a
    "Permitted Transferee" shall mean any Affiliate (as defined below) of
    such Original Holder.

     In the case of a Class B Holder which is a Permitted Transferee of an
  Original Holder, a "Permitted Transferee" shall mean:

         (y)  any Original Holder, or

         (z)  any Permitted Transferee of any Original Holder.

     For this paragraph and Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(e), "Affiliate" means
  any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity
  (each, a "Person") that directly, or indirectly through one or more
  intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control
  with, another Person, and includes any Person acting in concert with
  another Person.

       (iii) With respect to a Class B Holder which holds shares by virtue
    of its status as an Affiliate, the subsequent loss of Affiliate status
    shall, unless within 15 days thereafter all shares of Class B Common
    Stock held by such Class B Holder are transferred to an Original Holder
    or a Permitted Transferee of an Original Holder, result in the
    automatic conversion of all of its shares of Class B Common Stock into
    shares of Class A Common Stock, and stock certificates formerly
    representing such shares of Class B Common Stock shall thereupon and
    thereafter be deemed to represent shares of Class A Common Stock as
    provided by Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(e).

       (iv) Any transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock not permitted
    hereunder shall result in the conversion of the transferee's shares of
    Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock as provided by
    Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(e), effective as of the date on which
    certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer on the
    books of the Corporation or on such earlier date that the Corporation
    receives notice of such attempted transfer. The Corporation may, in
    connection with preparing a list of stockholders entitled to vote at
    any meeting of stockholders, or as a condition to the transfer or the
    registration of shares of Class B Common Stock on the Corporation's
    books, require the furnishing of such affidavits or other proof as it
    deems necessary to establish that the person is the beneficial owner of
    shares of Class B Common Stock or is a Permitted Transferee.

       (v) Shares of Class B Common Stock shall be registered in the names
    of the beneficial owners thereof and not in "street" or "nominee" name.
    For this purpose, a "beneficial owner" of any shares of Class B Common
    Stock shall mean a person who, or any entity which, possesses the
    powers, either singly or jointly, to direct the voting or disposition
    of such shares. Certificates for shares of Class B Common Stock shall
    bear a legend referencing the restrictions on transfer imposed by this
    Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(d).

    (e)  Conversion

       (i) Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be converted at such
    time, in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as provided
    herein into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common
    Stock.

       (ii) Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert
    into a share of Class A Common Stock upon the earlier to occur of
    (x) the holders of all Class B Common Stock ceasing to own in the
    aggregate 15% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, and (y) as
    provided in

                                      A-5


    Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(d). Upon automatic conversion of shares of
    Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall reflect such conversion,
    and the issuance of Class A Common Stock in connection therewith on its
    books and records for all purposes even if certificates reflecting such
    converted shares of Class B Common Stock are not surrendered to the
    Corporation or its transfer agent. All shares of Class B Common Stock,
    upon conversion thereof into Class A Common Stock, shall retain their
    designation as Class B Common Stock and shall have the status of
    authorized and unissued shares of Class B Common Stock; provided that
    if all shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding are converted into
    shares of Class A Common Stock, then all authorized but unissued shares
    or treasury shares of Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert
    into authorized but unissued or treasury shares of Class A Common
    Stock, as the case may be, and no further shares of Class B Common
    Stock shall exist. Except as specifically contemplated under this
    Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(e), shares of Class B Common Stock may not
    be converted into Class A Common Stock.

       (iii) Each share of Class A Common Stock owned (within the meaning
    of Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(d)) by Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a
    Pennsylvania corporation ("Chevron") or its Affiliates shall
    simultaneous with acquiring such ownership automatically be converted
    into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class B Common Stock;
    provided, however, that for purposes of any shares of Class B Common
    Stock so issued, only Chevron will be deemed to be the Original Holder
    thereof for purposes of the provisions of Article 4,
    Paragraph 2C.(3)(d), and provided, further, that this provision shall
    not apply with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon
    conversion of all Class B Common Stock in accordance with the first
    sentence of Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(e)(ii)(x), or any shares of
    Class A Common Stock owned by Chevron or its Affiliates, after such
    conversion shall have occurred. Upon automatic conversion of shares of
    Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall reflect such conversion and
    the issuance of Class B Common Stock in connection therewith on its
    books and records for all purposes even if certificates reflecting such
    converted shares of Class A Common Stock are not surrendered to the
    Corporation for transfer. All shares of Class B Common Stock shall be
    subject to the restrictions and provisions contained in the
    Corporation's Articles of Incorporation. All shares of Class A Common
    Stock, upon conversion thereof into Class B Common Stock, shall retain
    their designation as Class A Common Stock and shall have the status of
    authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock.

       (iv) Nothing herein shall prevent the Original Holder (or any
    Permitted Transferee) of the Class B Common Stock and the Corporation
    from executing an agreement allowing the Original Holder (or any
    Permitted Transferee), at its option, to convert the Class B Common
    Stock into Class A Common Stock, nor the conversion of any Class B
    Common Stock pursuant to such agreement.

       (v) The Corporation will, as soon as practicable after such deposit
    of a certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be converted in
    accordance with this Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(e), issue and deliver
    at the office of the Corporation or of its transfer agent to the person
    for whose account such Common Stock was so surrendered, a certificate
    or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock into
    which the shares represented by the surrendered certificate are
    converted. If surrendered certificates for Common Stock are converted
    only in part, the Corporation will issue and deliver to the holder,
    without charge therefor, a new certificate or certificates representing
    the aggregate of the unconverted shares of such class of Common Stock.
    The failure of the holder to deliver to the Corporation certificates
    representing shares of a class of Common Stock converted in accordance
    with this Article 4, Paragraph 2C.(3)(e), shall in no way affect the
    automatic conversion of such shares.

       (vi) The issuance of certificates for shares of a class of Common
    Stock upon conversion of shares of the other class of Common Stock
    shall be made without charge for any issue, stamp or other similar tax
    in respect of such issuance; provided, however, if any such certificate
    is to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the share or
    shares of the class of Common Stock converted, the person or persons
    requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Corporation the amount
    of any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in
    such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation
    that such tax has been paid.

                                      A-6


       (vii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available,
    solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the outstanding
    shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common
    Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding
    shares, provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to
    preclude the Corporation from satisfying the obligations in respect of
    the conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock by
    delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock which are held in the
    treasury of the Corporation. The Corporation shall take all such
    corporate and other actions as from time to time may be necessary to
    insure that all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion
    of shares of Class B Common Stock upon issue will be duly and validly
    authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any
    preemptive or similar rights. In order that the Corporation may issue
    shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Class B Common
    Stock, the Corporation will endeavor to comply with all applicable
    Federal and state securities laws and will endeavor to list such shares
    to be issued upon conversion on such securities exchange on which the
    Class A Common Stock is then listed.

       (viii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
    available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the
    outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock a number of shares of
    Class B Common Stock equal to 40% of the number of outstanding shares
    of Class A Common Stock, provided that nothing contained herein shall
    be construed to preclude the Corporation from satisfying the
    obligations in respect of the conversion of the outstanding shares of
    Class A Common Stock by delivery of shares of Class B Common Stock
    which are held in the treasury of the Corporation. The Corporation
    shall take all such corporate and other actions as from time to time
    may be necessary to insure that all shares of Class B Common Stock
    issuable upon conversion of shares of Class A Common Stock upon issue
    will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
    nonassessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights. In order
    that the Corporation may issue shares of Class B Common Stock upon
    conversion of the Class A Common Stock, the Corporation will endeavor
    to comply with all applicable Federal and state securities laws.

  (f)  Except as may otherwise be required by law and for the equitable
       rights and remedies which may otherwise be available to holders of
       Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock shall not have any
       designations, preferences, limitations or relative rights, other than
       those specifically set forth in these Articles of Incorporation.

  (g) The headings of the various subdivisions of this Section are for
      convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation
      of any of the provisions of this Section.

                                   ARTICLE 7

Paragraph 1:

A. Right to Indemnification.

   A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 8.65 of the IBCA, or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
If the IBCA is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or
limiting the personal liability of Directors, then the liability of a director
or the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the full extent permitted
under the IBCA, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article 7,
Paragraph 1 by the shareholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect
any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time
of such repeal or modification.

   The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to be the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to be the best interests of the
Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

B. Suit by Corporation or Shareholder

   The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of
the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been finally adjudged
to have been liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent that
the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

C. Director Discretion

   Any indemnification under Article 7, Paragraphs 1A. and B. (unless ordered
by a court) shall be made only as authorized in the specific case, upon a
determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in Article 7, Paragraphs 1A. and B. Such determination shall be made (1) by
the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a
quorum is not obtainable (or,

                                      A-8


even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs) by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholders. In
any event, to the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has
been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to in Article 7, Paragraphs 1A. and B. or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.

D. Advancement of Expenses

     (1)  Reasonable expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final deposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of (i) a
statement signed by such director or officer to the effect that such director
or officer acted in good faith and in a manner which he believed to be in, or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and (ii) an undertaking
by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount, if it shall
ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Corporation as authorized in this Article.

     (2)  The board of directors may, by separate resolution adopted under and
referring to this Article of the by-laws, provide for securing the payment of
authorized advances by the creation of escrow accounts, the establishment of
letters of credit or such other means as the board deems appropriate and with
such restrictions, limitations and qualifications with respect thereto as the
board deems appropriate in the circumstances.

E. Non-Exclusivity of Rights and Contractual Nature

     (1)  The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or
granted under other subsections of this Article shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office and
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such
a person.

     (2)  The provisions of this Article 7, Paragraph 1 shall be deemed to be
a contract between the Corporation and each director and officer who serves in
such capacity at anytime while this Article 7, Paragraph 1 is in effect and
any indemnification provided under Article 7, Paragraph 1 to a person shall
continue after such person ceases to be an officer, director, agent or
employee of the Corporation as to all facts, circumstances and events
occurring while such person was such officer, director, agent or employee, and
shall not be decreased or diminished in scope without such person's consent,
regardless of their repeal or modification of this Article or any repeal or
modification of the Illinois Business Corporation Act or any other applicable
law. If the scope of indemnity provided by this Article 7, Paragraph 1 or any
replacement article, or pursuant to the Illinois Business Corporation Act or
any modification or replacement thereof is increased, then such person shall
be entitled to such increased indemnification as is in existence at the time
indemnity is provided to such person, it being the intent, subject to
Article 7, Paragraph 1K., to indemnify persons under this Article 7,
Paragraph 1 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

F. Insurance

   The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by
him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not
the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability
under the provisions of this Article.

G. Report to Shareholders

   The Corporation shall report in writing to shareholders any indemnity or
advanced expenses paid to a director, officer, employee or agent with or
before the notice of the next shareholders' meeting.

                                      A-9


H. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit

   Subject to Article 7, Paragraph 1K., if a claim under this Article is not
promptly paid by the Corporation after a written claim has been received by
the Corporation or if expenses pursuant to Section 4 of this Article have not
been promptly advanced after a written request for such advancement
accompanied by the statement and undertaking required by Article 7,
Paragraph 1D. of this Article has been received by the Corporation, the
director or officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or the advancement of
expenses. If successful, in whole or in part, in such suit, such director or
officer shall also be entitled to be paid the reasonable expense thereof,
including attorneys' fees. It shall be a defense to any such action (other
than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending
any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required
undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that the director or officer
has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the
Illinois Business Corporation Act for the Corporation to indemnify the
director or officer for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such
defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its
shareholders) to have made a determination, if required, prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification of the director or officer is
proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard
of conduct required under the Illinois Business Corporation Act, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors,
independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the director or officer
had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the
action or create a presumption that the director or officer had not met the
applicable standard of conduct.

I. Definition of "Corporation"

   For purposes of this Article 7, references to the "Corporation" shall
include, in addition to the surviving corporation, any merging corporation
(including any corporation having merged with a merging corporation) absorbed
in a merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the
power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or
agents, so that any person who was a director or officer of such merging
corporation, or was serving at the request of such merging corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of
this Article with respect to the surviving corporation as such person would
have with respect to such merging corporation if its separate existence had
continued.

J. Employee Benefit Plans

   For purposes of this Article 7, references to "other enterprises" shall
include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise
taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan;
references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by such director, officer, employee,
or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or
beneficiaries; and references to "officers" shall include elected and
appointed officers. A person who acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation" as referred to in
this Article.

K. Reimbursement

   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Corporation
purchases insurance in accordance with Article 7, Paragraph 1F., the
Corporation shall not be required to, but may (if the board of directors so
determines in accordance with this Article 7, Paragraph 1) reimburse any party
instituting any action, suit or proceeding if a result of the institution
thereof is the denial of or limitation of payment of losses under such
insurance when such losses would have been paid thereunder if a non-insured
third party had instituted such action, suit or proceeding.

                                     A-10


L. Severability

   If any portion of this Article shall be invalidated or held to be
unenforceable on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the
decision of which shall not have been reversed on appeal, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this
Article shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable
provisions had been omitted therefrom.

Paragraph 2:

   Without the consent of the holders of eighty-five percent (85%) of the
outstanding Common Stock, voting as a single class, the Corporation may (and
may permit any subsidiary of the Corporation over which it has control to)
sell the following products:

     (1)  crude oil;

     (2)  other products usually and normally refined as petroleum products
from crude oils; and

     (3)  natural gas liquids or liquefied petroleum gases;

irrespective of where such sales or products are made, only when the seller
has no actual knowledge that the sale is not for consumption or resale in one
or more of the following areas:

       (a)  the United States or any of its territories or possessions;

       (b)  any country wholly located in the Western Hemisphere and/or
  Europe or surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea;

       (c)  any country all of the territory of which was formerly contained

  Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Cote
  D'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Greenland, Guinea,
  Guinea Bissau, Iceland, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Mongolia,
  Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Rio Muni, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, Tunisia,
  Turkey, Western Sahara and/or Zaire;

       (e)  Antarctica; and

       (f)  international waters;

unless (x) otherwise permitted by the terms of that certain Scope of Business
Agreement, dated May 22, 1996, between the Corporation and Chevron, as the
same may from time to time be amended in accordance with the terms thereof, or
(y) such Scope of Business Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, upon
which termination the provisions of this Article 7, Paragraph 2 shall be of no
further force and effect. A copy of such Scope of Business Agreement, as the
same may be amended, shall be available for inspection by any shareholder of
the Corporation at the principal offices of the Corporation. Except as
indicated above or as may otherwise be provided in these Articles of
Incorporation or by Illinois law, shareholders shall have no right to approve
specific business activities of the Corporation, and the above provisions
shall not otherwise affect corporate powers and purposes as stated in
Article 3.

                                   May 2000

I.  PURPOSE

  Pursuant to Article IV of the Bylaws of Dynegy Inc. (the "Corporation"), a
  committee of the directors to be known as the "Audit Committee"
  (hereinafter referred to as the "Committee") is hereby established. The
  primary function of the Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in
  fulfilling its oversight responsibilities related to corporate accounting,
  financial reporting practices, quality and integrity of financial reports
  as well as legal compliance and business ethics. Key components of
  fulfilling this charge include:

  .  Facilitating and maintaining an open avenue of communication among the
     Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Senior Management, the independent
     accountants, the internal audit staff and the ethics and business
     conduct staff.

  .  Serving as an independent and objective party to monitor the
     Corporation's financial reporting process and internal control system.

  .  Reviewing and appraising the work of the independent accountants.

  .  Providing direction to and oversight of the Internal Audit function and
     the Ethics and Business Conduct function.

II.  ORGANIZATION/COMPOSITION

  The Committee will be comprised of three or more directors to be determined
  by the Board, each of whom shall be independent directors as defined by the
  New York Stock Exchange, or other exchange(s) on which the Corporation is
  listed. The members will be free from any financial, family and other
  material personal relationships that, in the opinion of the Board or Audit
  Committee members, would interfere with the exercise of their independence
  from management and the Corporation. All members of the committee will have
  a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices and at
  least one member must have accounting or related financial management
  expertise.

III.  MEETINGS

  The Committee will meet at least four times annually. Additional meetings
  may occur as circumstances dictate. The meetings will focus primarily on
  audit/financial issues and ethics and business conduct issues. The
  Committee will request legal updates from the General Counsel and/or
  outside legal resources as they determine the need exists. The Committee
  chairman should meet with the Ethics and Business Conduct Vice President
  and/or Internal Audit Vice President prior to the scheduled committee
  meetings to finalize the meeting agenda and overview issues to be
  discussed. The Committee members will have sole discretion in determining
  the meeting attendees and agenda.

IV. RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

  The Committee believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible
  in order to best react to changing conditions and provide reasonable
  assurance to the Board that the accounting and reporting practices of the
  Corporation are in accordance with all applicable requirements and an
  effective legal compliance and business ethics program exists.


                                      B-1


   The Committee will fulfill their duties and responsibilities as follows:

  A. General

  .  Adopt a formal written charter that is approved by the full Board of
     Directors that specifies scope of responsibility, process, membership,
     etc. The charter will be reviewed and updated as necessary, but at least
     annually.

  .  Maintain minutes or other records of meetings and activities.

  .  Report on Committee activities and actions to the Board, including Board
     recommendations the Committee may deem appropriate.

  .  As part of executing the responsibility to foster open communication,
     the Committee will meet in separate executive sessions without members
     of senior management present with each of the following groups:
     Independent Accountants and Vice President--Internal Audit, to discuss
     matters that the Committee or any of these groups believe should be
     discussed privately.

  .  Conduct or authorize investigations into any matters within the
     Committee's scope of responsibilities. The Committee shall be empowered
     to retain independent counsel, independent accountants, or others to
     assist it in the conduct of any investigation, subject to the approval
     of the Board of Directors.

  B.  External/Independent Accountants

  .  Recommend to the Board the selection of the independent accountants,
     considering independence and effectiveness. Annually, the Committee will
     ensure a formal statement delineating the scope of services and all
     relationships between such accountants and the Corporation is received
     from the independent accountants. The Committee will discuss with the
     independent accountants all significant relationships such accountants
     have with the Corporation to ensure the accountants' independence.

  .  Approve any replacement of the independent accountants.

  .  Consult with independent accountants out of management's presence about
     internal controls and the fairness of, and quality of disclosures in,
     the Corporation's financial statements.

  .  Meet with the independent accountants and financial management of the
     corporation to review the scope of the proposed external audit for the
     current year. The external audit engagement shall include a requirement
     that the independent accountants inform the Committee of any significant
     changes in the independent accountants' original audit plan and that the
     independent accountants conduct a SAS 71 Interim Financial Review prior
     to the company's filing of each quarterly report to shareholders (Form
     10-Q).

  .  Review the coordination of internal and external audit procedures to
     promote an effective use of resources and ensure adequate and non-
     redundant audit work is performed.

  .  Instruct the independent accountants that the Board of Directors is the
     accountant's client and that the independent accountant is ultimately
     accountable to the Board of Directors.

  C.  Internal Audit

  .  Review and approve the annual internal audit plan in relation to the
     identified risks the Corporation faces, as well as any periodic changes
     to such plan.

  .  Review at least annually the qualifications of internal audit staff as
     well as the number and use of internal audit staff.

  .  Inquire of the Vice President--Internal Audit regarding the adequacy and
     effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and request
     recommendations for improvements. Review the quality and objectivity of
     the internal audit function of the Corporation, including its
     independence, authority and reporting relationship to management and the
     Board of Directors.

  .  Review a summary of findings and completed internal audits, adequacy and
     appropriateness of management's responses thereto, and a progress report
     on executing the approved internal audit plan.

  .  Inquire of the Vice President--Internal Audit regarding any difficulties
     encountered in the course of their audits, including any restrictions on
     the scope of their work or access to required information.

  D.  Financial Statements/Internal Controls

  .  Review annual financial statements with management and the independent
     accountants to determine that both groups are satisfied with the
     disclosure and content in the financial statements, including the nature
     and extent of any significant changes in accounting principles.

  .  Consider independent accountants' judgements regarding the quality and
     appropriateness of the Corporation's financial statements.

  .  Make inquiries of management and independent accountants concerning the
     adequacy of the company's system of internal controls including
     computerized information system controls and security.

  .  Related findings and recommendations of the independent accountants and
     Internal Audit together with management's responses.

  .  Advise financial management and the independent accountants that they
     are expected to provide a timely analysis of significant financial
     reporting issues and practices that affect the Corporation.

  .  Advise financial management and the independent accountants to discuss
     with the Committee the quality, not just the acceptability, of
     accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or
     proposed to be adopted by the Corporation, prior to the filing of a Form
     10-Q or Form 10-K and, if practicable, prior to the release of quarter
     or annual earnings.

  E.  Ethics and Business Conduct

  .  Provide oversight to the business ethics and compliance program.

  .  Require management to report on procedures that provide assurance that
     the Corporation's mission, values, and code of conduct are properly
     communicated to all employees on an annual basis.

  .  Review the programs and policies of the Corporation designed by
     management to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and
     monitor the results of the compliance efforts.

  .  Review and approve potential conflicts of interest between or among
     affiliate shareholders, management and the company.

  F.  Establish Trading Limits & Policy

  .  Review, at least annually, trading limits and risk management policy and
     procedures and recommend changes, if necessary, to the Board.

  G.  Legal

  .  Meet with corporation's general counsel to review any legal matters that
     may have a significant impact on the Corporation's overall financial
     statements.

  H. While the Audit Committee has the responsibility and power set forth in
     this charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or
     conduct audits or to determine that the company's financial statements
     are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles. This is the responsibility of management and/or
     the independent auditors.
