Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 30, 2007, the Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion) Compensation, Governance and Nominating (CGN) Committee approved the 2007 Long-Term Compensation Program (the “Program”) for its officers, including those officers named in Dominion’s 2007 Proxy Statement. The Program is being awarded pursuant to Dominion’s 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan and consists of two components of equal value: a restricted stock grant and a cash-based performance grant. The restricted stock is subject to a three-year cliff vesting period, while payout of the performance grant will be based on the achievement of two performance metrics: total shareholder return versus the 2007 peer group and return on invested capital. Payout on the performance grant will be made by March 15, 2009, with the amount of the award to vary depending on the level of achievement of the performance metrics. The Forms of Restricted Stock Grant and Performance Grants under the Program are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.

Also on March 30, 2007, the CGN Committee approved a separate 2007 Long-Term Compensation Program for the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dominion Exploration & Production, Inc. (the “E&P Program”). The E&P Program is being awarded pursuant to Dominion’s 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan and consists of two components: a restricted stock grant and a cash-based performance grant. The restricted stock is subject to a one year vesting period, while the payout of the performance grant will be based on the achievement of funding and payout goals established for the Dominion Exploration & Production segment under Dominion’s 2007 Annual Incentive Plan. Payout on the performance grant will be made by March 15, 2008, with the amount of the award to vary depending on the level of achievement of the performance metrics. The Forms of Restricted Stock Grant and Performance Grants under the E&P Program are included as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4.

                                                                                         & #160;              EXHIBIT A


Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) are determined under policies established by the CGN Committee. The calculations of the performance measures are summarized below.


Total Shareholder Return

The TSR Performance will be measured based on where the Company’s total shareholder return during the Performance Period ranks in relation to the total shareholder returns of the Comparison Companies during such period. TSR reflects the change in stock price during the Performance Period plus any dividends paid.

The Comparison Companies are:

American Electric Power Company, Inc.
FPL Group, Inc.
Constellation Energy Group, Inc.
NiSource Inc.
Duke Energy Corporation
PPL Corporation
Entergy Corporation
Progress Energy, Inc.
Exelon Corporation
Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated
FirstEnergy Corporation
Southern Company

The list of Comparison Companies is subject to adjustment in accordance with policies established by the CGN Committee. Any adjustments to the list of Comparison Companies will be communicated to the Participant when made.


Return on Invested Capital

ROIC reflects the Company’s total return divided by average invested capital for the Performance Period. For this purpose, total return is the Company’s operating earnings plus its after-tax interest and related charges plus preferred dividends. In accordance with policies established by the CGN Committee, the ROIC Performance may be adjusted negatively by the CGN Committee based on the Company’s performance under the final approved ROIC goals for non-executive officers for their 2007 performance grants. Any adjustments to the ROIC Performance will be communicated to the Participant when made.
