(4) Phantom shares acquired through Vectren Corporation ("Vectren") Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.
(5) Phantom stock units held under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan will effectively be exercised at the time the amounts represented by these units are paid out under the Plan.

Pursuant to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, payouts can occur for up to 15 years. Amounts held in the phantom stock accounts would be amortized over that period unless directed otherwise by the participant.
(6) The Stock Unit Award was acquired pursuant to the Vectren Corporation At-Risk Compensation Plan and is subject to forfeiture as provided by the plan.

Upon lifting of restrictions, Grantee shall be paid, for each Stock Unit Award, in cash, the Fair Market Value of one share of common stock on the date restrictions lapse, provided Grantee is in compliance with share ownership guidelines established by the board of directors. If Grantee is not in compliance with share ownership guidelines, the value of each Stock Unit Award shall be paid in unrestricted Vectren common stock. The board of directors approved the acquisition in accordance with Rule 16b-3(d). Given the performance-based nature of the award, it is possible that this award is not a derivative security and may not be reportable.
