ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

         On January 3, 2002, Dynegy Inc., an Illinois corporation ("Dynegy"),
Dynegy Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
Dynegy ("Dynegy Holdings"), CGNN Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("CGNN"), and MCTJ Holding Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company and wholly owned subsidiary of CGNN ("MCTJ"), entered into a
Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") relating to a petition
previously filed by Dynegy and Dynegy Holdings seeking specific performance
of Dynegy Holdings' option to purchase all of the membership interests of
MCTJ, declaratory relief and damages.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement,
the parties agreed, among other things, to a closing on Dynegy Holdings'
exercise of its option no later than January 30, 2002 and to comply with
their respective obligations relating thereto contained in the Option
Agreement dated as of November 9, 2001 and amended as of November 19, 2001
(the "Option Agreement") pursuant to which such option was granted.  The
parties also agreed that the option of CGNN, an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Enron Corp., an Oregon corporation ("Enron"), to repurchase the
membership interests of MCTJ and Dynegy's preferred stock in Northern Natural
Gas Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MCTJ
("Northern Natural"), would be extended to June 30, 2002.  An Agreed Judgment
relating to the petition has been entered pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement.

         Also on January 3, 2002, Dynegy, Dynegy Holdings, Enron and Enron
Transportation Services Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Enron ("ETS"), entered into an Agreement (the "Agreement")
pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to comply with
their respective obligations relating to the closing of Dynegy Holdings'
option.  Enron and ETS agreed that ETS would continue to operate the Northern
Natural pipeline pursuant to the Option Agreement during the repurchase
period until June 30, 2002.  All parties agreed that neither the Settlement
Agreement nor the Agreement would affect their rights in connection with the
previously terminated Merger Agreement dated as of November 9, 2001 among
Dynegy, Enron and the other parties thereto.

         The Settlement Agreement, the Agreement and the press release issued
by Dynegy announcing their execution are attached hereto as exhibits 99.1,
