(a)     The individuals appearing in this chart perform policy-making functions for AE and AE Supply. The compensation shown is for all services in all capacities to AE and its subsidiaries. All salaries, annual incentives and long-term payouts of these executives are paid by AESC.

(b)     See Executive Officers of the Registrants for all positions held.

(c)     Incentive awards (primarily Annual Incentive Plan awards) are based upon performance in the year in which the figure appears but are paid in the following year. The Annual Incentive Plan will be continued for 2002.

(d)     In 1994, the Board of Directors of AE implemented a Performance Share Plan (the "Plan") for senior officers of AE and its subsidiaries, which was approved by the shareholders of AE at the annual meeting in May 1994. A fourth Plan cycle began on January 1, 1997, and ended on December 31, 1999. The figure shown for 1999 represents the dollar value paid in 2000 to each of the named executive officers who participated in Cycle IV. In 1998, the Board of Directors of AE implemented a new Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was approved by the shareholders of AE at the AE annual meeting in May 1998. A fifth cycle (the first three-year performance period of this new Plan) began on January 1, 1998, and ended on December 31, 2000. The figure shown for 2000 represents the dollar value paid in 2001 to each of the named executive officers who participated in Cycle V. A sixth cycle began on January 1, 1999, and ended on December 31, 2001. The figure shown for 2001 represents the dollar value paid in 2002 to each of the named executive officers who participated in Cycle VI. A seventh cycle began on January 1, 2000, and will end on December 31, 2002. An eighth cycle began on January 1, 2001 and will end on December 31, 2003. After completion of each cycle, AE stock may be paid if performance criteria have been met.

(e)     The figures in this column include the present value of the executives' cash value at retirement attributable to the current year's premium payment for Executive Life Insurance Plan (based upon the premium, future valued to retirement, using the policy internal rate of return minus the corporation's premium payment), as well as the premium paid for the basic group life insurance program plan and the contribution for the Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan (ESOSP) established as a non-contributory stock ownership plan for all eligible employees effective January 1, 1976, and amended in 1984 to include a savings program.

 

ITEM 6.   PART III
(1)   AE, AGC, M, PE, WPP
(from 2001 Form 10-K/A)

 

     Effective January 1, 1992, the basic group life insurance provided employees was reduced from two times salary during employment, which reduced to one times salary after five years in retirement, to a new plan which provides one times salary until retirement and $25,000 thereafter. Some executive officers and other senior managers remain under the prior plan. In order to pay for this insurance for these executives, during 1992 insurance was purchased on the lives of each of them, except Mr. Morrell, who is not covered by this plan. Effective January 1, 1993, Allegheny started to provide funds to pay for the future benefits due under the supplemental retirement plan (SERP). To do this, during 1993 Allegheny purchased life insurance on the lives of some of the covered executives. The premium costs of both policies plus a factor for the use of the money are returned to Allegheny at the earlier of (a) death of the insured or (b) the later o f age 65 or 10 years from the date of the policy's inception. Under the ESOSP for 2001, all eligible employees may elect to have from 2% to 12% of their compensation contributed to the Plan as pre-tax contributions and an additional 1% to 6% as post-tax contributions. Employees direct the investment of these contributions into one or more of eleven available funds. Fifty percent of the pre-tax contributions up to 6% of compensation are matched with common stock of AE. For 2001, the maximum amount of any employee's compensation that may be used in these computations is $170,000. Employees' interests in the ESOSP vest immediately. Their pre-tax contributions may be withdrawn only upon meeting certain financial hardship requirements or upon termination of employment. For 2001 the figure shown includes amounts representing (a) the aggregate of life insurance premiums and dollar value of the benefit to the executive officer of the remainder of the premium paid on the Group Life Insurance program and the Ex ecutive Life Insurance and Plan, and (b) ESOSP contributions, respectively, as follows: Mr. Noia $6,784 and $4,587; Mr. Morrell $2,682 and $4,676; Mr. Pifer $2,540 and $5,100; Mr. Gagliardi $2,634 and $4,517 and Mr. Henderson $2,184 and $5,100.

ITEM 6.   PART III
(1)   AE, AGC, M, PE, WPP
(from 2001 Form 10-K/A)

     The named executives were awarded the above number of performance shares for Cycle VIII. Such number of shares are only targets. As described below, no payouts will be made unless certain criteria are met. Each executive's 2001-2003 target long-term incentive opportunity was converted into performance shares equal to an equivalent number of shares of AE common stock based on the price of such stock on December 31, 2000. At the end of this three-year performance period, the performance shares attributed to the calculated award will be valued based on the price of AE common stock on December 31, 2003, and will reflect dividends that would have been paid on such stock during the performance period as if they were reinvested on the date paid. If an executive retires, dies or otherwise leaves the employment of Allegheny prior to the end of the three-year period, the executive may still receive an award based on the number of months worked during t he period. The final value of an executive's account, if any, will be paid to the executive in early 2004.

     The actual payout of an executive's award may range from 0 to 200% of the target amount, before dividend reinvestment. The payout is based upon stockholder performance versus the peer group. The stockholder rating is then compared to a pre-established percentile-ranking chart to determine the payout percentage of target. A ranking below 30% results in a 0% payout. The minimum payout begins at the 30% ranking, which results in a payout of 60% of target, ranging up to a payout of 200% of target if there is a 90% or higher ranking.

 

Retirement Plan

 

     Allegheny maintains a Retirement Plan covering substantially all employees. The Retirement Plan is a noncontributory, trusteed pension plan designed to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Each covered employee is eligible for retirement at normal retirement date (age 65), with early retirement permitted. In addition, executive officers and other senior managers participate in a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP).

     Pursuant to the SERP, senior executives of Allegheny companies who retire at age 60 or over with 40 or more years of service are entitled to a supplemental retirement benefit in an amount that, together with the benefits under the basic plan and from other employment, will equal 60% of the executive's highest average monthly earnings for any 36 consecutive months. Beginning January 1, 1999, the earnings include 100% of the actual award paid under the Annual Incentive Plan. The supplemental benefit is reduced for less than 40 years service and for retirement age from 60 to 55. It is included in the amounts shown where applicable. To provide funds to pay such benefits, beginning January 1, 1993, Allegheny purchased insurance on the lives of some of the participants in the SERP. If the assumptions made as to mortality experience, policy dividends, and other factors are realized, Allegheny will recover all premium payments, plus a factor for the use of Allegh eny's money. The portion of the premiums required to be deemed "compensation" by the Securities and Exchange Commission for this insurance is included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Executive Compensation chart. All executive officers are participants in the SERP. The Plan also provides for use of Average Compensation in excess of Code maximums.

     The following table shows estimated maximum annual benefits payable to participants in the SERP following retirement (assuming payments on a normal life annuity basis and not including any survivor benefit) to an employee in specified remuneration and years of credited service classifications. These amounts are based on an estimated Average Compensation (defined as 12 times the highest average monthly earnings including overtime and other salary payments actually earned, whether or not payment is deferred, for any 36 consecutive calendar months), retirement at age 65 and without consideration of any effect of various options which may be elected prior to retirement. The benefits listed in the Pension Plan Table are not subject to any deduction for Social Security or any other offset amounts.

Each Agreement sets forth (i) the severance benefits that will be provided to the employee in the event the employee is terminated subsequent to a Change in Control of AE (as defined in the Agreements), and (ii) the employee's obligation to continue his or her employment after the occurrence of certain circumstances that could lead to a Change in Control. The Agreements provide generally that if there is a Change in Control, unless employment is terminated by AE for Cause, Disability or Retirement or by the employee for other than Good Reason (each as defined in the Agreements), severance benefits payable to the employee will consist of a cash payment equal to 2.99 times the employee's base annual salary and target short-term incentive together with AE maintaining existing benefits for the employee and the employee's depend ents for a period of three years. Each Agreement expires on December 31, 2001, but is automatically extended for one-year periods thereafter unless either AE or the employee gives notice otherwise. Notwithstanding the delivery of such notice, the Agreements will continue in effect for thirty-six months after a Change in Control.

 

Employment Contracts

 

     AE has entered into Employment Contracts with the named and certain other executive officers. (Contracts). Each Contract provides for a two-year initial term and has a one-year renewal provision. The Contracts provide for specified levels of severance protection based on the reason for termination, irrespective of the remaining term of the Contracts. The Contracts provide that base salary will not be reduced and the officers will remain eligible for participation in Allegheny's executive compensation and benefit plans during the term of the Contracts.

Compensation of Directors

 

     Until December 6, 2001, each of the outside directors was also a director of the following subsidiaries of AE: Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AESC (Allegheny companies). On December 6, 2001, Mrs. Baum and Messrs. Campbell, Hoecker, Holland, Kleisner, Metz, Rice and Sarsten resigned as directors of Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn. In 2001, directors who were not officers or employees (outside directors) received for all services to AE and its subsidiaries: (a) $22,000 in retainer fees, (b) $1,000 for each committee meeting attended, and (c) $250 for attendance at each Board meeting of AE, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn. In 2002, following the resignation on December 6, 2001 of the outside directors from the Boards of Monongahela, Potomac Edison and West Penn, the meeting fee will increase from $250 to $1000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors of AE.

     The Chairperson of each committee, other than the Executive Committee, receives an additional fee of $4,000 per year. Under an unfunded deferred compensation plan, an outside director may elect to defer receipt of all or part of his or her director's fees for succeeding calendar years to be payable with accumulated interest when the director ceases to be such, in equal annual installments, or, upon authorization by the Board of Directors, in a lump sum. In addition to the foregoing compensation, the outside directors of AE receive an annual retainer of $12,000 worth of common stock. Further, a Deferred Stock Unit Plan for Outside Directors provides for a lump sum payment (payable at the director's election in one or more installments, including interest thereon equivalent to the dividend yield) to directors calculated by reference to the price of AE's common stock. Outside directors who serve at least five years on the Board and leave at or after age 65, or up on death, or disability, or as otherwise directed by the Board, will receive such payments. In 2001, AE credited each outside director's account with 350 deferred stock units; the number will increase to 375 in 2002.

 

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The table below shows the number of shares of AE common stock that are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by each director and named executive officer of AE, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, AGC and AE Supply and by all directors and executive officers of each such company as a group as of December 31, 2001. To the best of the knowledge of AE, there is no person who is a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the voting securities of AE.

ITEM 6.   PART III
(1)   AE, AGC, M, PE, WPP
(from 2001 Proxy Statement)

MANAGEMENT REVIEW AND DIRECTOR AFFAIRS COMMITTEE REPORT

GENERAL

          The compensation program for executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries is directed by the Management Review and Director Affairs Committee (the Committee) of the Company's Board of Directors. The Committee recommends the annual compensation program for each year to the Board of Directors of the Company and of each subsidiary for its approval.

 

          The Committee continues to believe that with the advent of competition to this industry, a large portion of compensation should be included in incentive plans. For 2002, a substantial portion of total compensation will continue to be linked to corporate and business performance.

 

          The executive compensation program is intended to meet three objectives:

 

                -   Create a strong link between executive compensation and total return to stockholders.

 

                -   Offer compensation opportunities that are competitive with the median level of opportunity
                     in the marketplace, at expected levels of performance, but exceed median levels for performance
                     exceeding expectations.

 

                -   Ensure internal compensation equity - maintaining a reasonable relationship between compensation and
                     the duties and responsibilities of each executive position.

 

          In a further effort to tie the executive compensation program to the overall success of Allegheny, stock ownership guidelines were adopted in 1999 for the executive officers. The guidelines require the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to own stock valued at 3.5 times base salary; the business unit Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents at 1.75 times base salary; and the Vice Presidents at one times base salary. They have five years from the date of their initial appointment to meet the guidelines.

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

 

          The Company's executive compensation program has four components: base salary, short-term and long-term incentive awards, and stock options.

 

          The Company's executive compensation is both market- and performance-based. The Committee believes that it is necessary to use both market- and performance-based compensation to meet the challenges of intensifying competitive, economic, and regulatory pressures.

 

          To ensure that the Company's salary structure and total compensation continue to be competitive, they are compared each year through an annual compensation survey, prepared by a leading consulting firm, with those of comparable energy companies - 25 for 2001. The survey companies are part of an energy services industry database.

 

          In 2001, more than 60% of these survey companies are included in the Dow Jones U.S. Electric Utilities Index, to which the Company's performance is compared on page 28 of this proxy statement. This comparison involves matching Company positions, including that of the CEO, with those in the survey companies that have comparable duties and responsibilities. For 2001, the survey again indicated that the Company's executive compensation structure was below the median. This survey data became the basis for the consulting firm's recommendations as to market prices for each position and total compensation in line with the survey average for comparable positions.

 

 

ITEM 6.   PART III
(1)   AE, AGC, M, PE, WPP
(from 2001 Proxy Statement)

Base salary:

 

          The base salaries of all executive officers, including the CEO, are reviewed annually by the Committee, which makes recommendations to the Board of Directors. In recommending base salary levels, the Committee gives most weight to the performance of each executive. The Committee receives a report from the CEO including (a) a performance assessment of each executive (other than himself) based on that executive's position-specific responsibilities and a performance evaluation by his or her supervisor and (b) a specific salary recommendation for each. In determining its recommendations to the Board, the Committee also takes into consideration operating performance, including such factors as safety, efficiency, competitive position, customer satisfaction, and financial results including total return, earnings per share, quality of earnings, dividends paid, and dividend payout ratio.

 

Short-term Incentive Awards:

 

          The Allegheny Energy Annual Incentive Plan (the Annual Incentive Plan) is designed to supplement base salaries and provide cash incentive compensation opportunities to attract, retain, and motivate a senior group of managers, including executive officers, selected by the Committee. The Annual Incentive Plan provides for establishment of individual incentive awards based on corporate performance. Corporate performance measures are based on net income available to common shareholders, achieved shareholder return, overall corporate financial results (changes in earnings per share, dividends paid per share, and dividend payout ratios), and Company performance, including competitive position. In addition, individual and departmental performance goals are set on a position specific basis for participants.

 

          Operating, management, or financial areas to be emphasized, as well as performance targets, are determined each year by the Committee with the recommendations of the CEO. The target awards under the 2001 Incentive Plan were determined by the Committee, and participants could earn from zero to 1 1/2 times the target award. For the 2001 Incentive Plan, the targets were $500,000 for Mr. Noia and from $120,000 to $180,000 for the other named officers. Targets for other participants were from $170,000 and lower, which are approximately 50% or less of 2001 base salary. Annual Incentive Plan awards earned are paid in the year after the year for which they are earned. Awards earned for performance in 1999, 2000 and 2001 are included in the Annual Compensation Table for those years under the column "Incentive Awards" for the individuals named therein.

 

Long-term Incentive Awards: Performance Shares and Stock Options

 

          The Allegheny Energy, Inc. Long-term Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan) is designed as an aid in attracting and retaining individuals of outstanding ability. Awards earned are based on performance over 3-year "cycles." Fourteen executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries were selected by the Committee to participate in Cycle VI (1999-2001), 15 in Cycle VII (2000-2002) and 17 in Cycle VIII (2001-2003). All of these cycles provide for the establishment of corporate incentive awards based on meeting specific stockholder rankings (total stockholder return ranking in the Dow Jones U.S. Electric Utilities Index).

 

          The Cycle VI target awards under the Performance Share Plan range from $45,000 for the named officers to $156,250 for Mr. Noia, which equate to 1,488 to 5,165 shares of stock as of January 1, 1999, the start of the performance cycle. The actual award calculated under the Plan equaled 135% of the target amount. The dollar value of such shares calculated as of December 31, 2001, including reinvested dividends, is included in the compensation table on page 24 .

 

 

ITEM 6   PART III
(1)   AE, AGC, M, PE, WPP
(from 2001 Proxy Statement)

          The Cycle VII target awards under the Incentive Plan range from $100,000 for the named officers to $400,000 for Mr. Noia, which equate to 3,712 to 14,849 shares of stock as of January 1, 2000, the start of the performance cycle. The Cycle VIII target awards under the Incentive Plan range from $120,000 for the named officers to $500,000 for Mr. Noia, which equate to 2,490 to 10,376 shares of stock as of January 1, 2001, the start of the performance cycle. The target opportunity and the corresponding number of equivalent performance shares allocated to each named executive officer for Cycle VIII are listed in the Long-term Incentive Plan Table on page 26.

 

          The actual payouts will be determined in 2003 for Cycle VII and in 2004 for Cycle VIII, after completion of each cycle and determination of the actual stockholder rankings. The actual awards are paid in Company stock and can range from 0 to 200% of the targeted shares noted above.

 

          During 1999 and 2000, as approved by stockholders during 1998, the executive officers were granted stock options, based upon surveys of competitive grant levels for similar positions. Like performance shares, the magnitude of such awards is determined by the Committee. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of Allegheny Energy, Inc. common stock on the day of the grant, become exercisable after the expiration of a period of time (typically three years), and generally continue to be exercisable until ten years from the date granted. Such stock options provide incentive for the creation of shareholder value over the long term since the full benefit of the compensation package cannot be realized unless an appreciation in the price of Allegheny Energy, Inc. common stock occurs over a specified number of years.

 

          For Mr. Noia, the Committee developed salary and Annual Incentive Plan award recommendations for the Board's consideration. The base salary recommendation was based upon the Committee's evaluation of his performance as CEO and of his responsibilities in the context of the Company's overall financial and operating performance, including the factors described in the next sentence. The Annual Incentive Plan recommendation was based primarily on 2001 corporate financial results, including total shareholder return, changes in earnings per share, dividends paid per share, and dividend payout ratios; the overall quality of service rendered to customers; and overall Allegheny Energy performance, including competitive position. Mr. Noia's 2001 total compensation reflected the Committee's evaluation of his performance as CEO and the described overall results. .

 

          Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits to $1 million the corporate deduction for compensation paid to executive officers named in the proxy statement, unless certain requirements are met. This Committee has carefully considered the effect of this tax code provision on the current executive compensation program. At this time, Allegheny's deduction for officer compensation is not limited by the provisions of Section 162 (m). The Committee intends to take actions with respect to the executive compensation program, if necessary, to preserve the corporate tax deduction for executive compensation paid.

 

          No current member of the Management Review and Director Affairs Committee is or ever was an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

OF

FELLON-MCCORD ASSOCIATES, INC.

 

 

          The undersigned, acting as incorporator of a corporation under the Kentucky Business Corporation Act, hereby adopts the following Articles of Incorporation for such corporation:

ARTICLE 1

 

          The name of the corporation is:   FELLON-MCCORD ASSOCIATES, INC.

 

 

 

ARTICLE 2

 

          The aggregate number of shares which the corporation shall have authority to issue is seven thousand (7,000), divided into four (4) classes as follows:  (i) one thousand (1,000) shares designated as Class A Convertible Preferred Shares, par value $2,000 per share;  (ii) one thousand (1,000) shares designated as Class B Convertible Preferred Shares, par value $2,000 per share;  (iii) one thousand (1,000) Class C Convertible Preferred Shares, par value $2,000 per share; and (iv) four thousand (4,000) Common Shares, no par value per share. The classes of the corporation's shares shall have the following preferences, limitations and relative rights and priorities.

-1-

PREFERRED SHARES

         

           The corporation's Class A Convertible Preferred Shares, Class B Convertible Preferred Shares and Class C Convertible Preferred Shares (sometimes collectively called the "Preferred Shares") shall have the following preferences, limitations and relative rights and priorities:
          (a)     Voting:   Each outstanding share of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders except that in the election of directors, holders of Class A Convertible Preferred Shares, voting as a separate group, shall be entitled to elect one (1) of the corporation's directors, and holders of Class C Convertible Preferred Shares, voting as a separate group, shall be entitled to elect one (1) of the corporation's directors. Holders of Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to vote in the election of any directors except as provided in this Article 2(a).
          (b)     Dividends: The corporation's Board of Directors may, in its discretion, declare out of funds legally available therefor, dividends payable in cash, shares or otherwise on each outstanding share of the Preferred Shares. Such dividends shall: (i) not be cumulative; (ii) be paid before any dividends on Common Shares are paid; and (iii) be paid pro rata on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Shares.
          (c)     Distribution of Assets: Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the corporation, each outstanding share of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive,

-2-

 

except as hereinafter provided, assets available for distribution to shareholders of the corporation equal to the share's par value plus any dividends declared but not paid on the share. Such distribution shall: (i) be made prior to any distributions of assets to Common Shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the corporation; (ii) shall be paid pro rata with distributions on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Shares; and (iii) be the only distributions to which Preferred Shares shall be entitled upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the corporation.
          If the assets available for distribution to shareholders upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the corporation are insufficient to distribute in full the amounts to which the Preferred Shares are entitled, the assets available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata among the Preferred Shares. If there has been satisfaction in full of the amounts payable to the Preferred Shares, Common Shares thereafter shall be entitled, to the exclusion of the Preferred Shares, to distribution of the remaining assets. A share exchange, merger or consolidation of the corporation with or into any other corporation or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation, if such transaction has been submitted to the corporation's shareholders for a vote, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the corporation within the meaning of this Article 2 ( c ).

 

 

-4-

  1. Conversion: If and when the cumulative net after tax profits of the corporation equal or exceed six million dollars ($6,000,000), each outstanding share of the Preferred Shares may, at the election of the holder thereof, be converted into one (1) share of the corporation's Common Shares upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) the holder shall give the corporation's Board of Directors at least ninety (90) days' advance written notice of the election to convert; (ii) such notice shall be given within one (1) year after the end of the fiscal year in which the corporation's cumulative net after tax profits first equal or exceed six million dollars ($6,000,000); and (iii) the holder shall pay to the corporation consideration equal to the "fair value" (defined below) of each share of the Common Shares to be issued to such holder as a result of the conversion, provided, however, that the par value of each share of the Preferred Shares to be converted plus the amount of any dividends declared but unpaid on such share shall be credited against the amount of consideration payable for the Common Shares. For purposes of this Article 2, "fair value" means the fair market value of each outstanding share of the corporation's Common Shares on the date of the notice of election to convert described above as determined by the corporation's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors' determination of fair value shall be conclusive unless at least two (2) directors dissent, in which case the dissenting directors shall name one reputable appraiser and the remaining directors (by majority vote

-3-

thereof) shall name one reputable appraiser. The appraisers shall each appraise fair value within sixty (60) days of their selection and the two appraisals shall be averaged to arrive at the fair value payable by the holder of the shares being converted. All fees, costs and expenses of the appraisals shall be paid by the corporation.

COMMON SHARES

          The Common Shares shall have the following preferences, limitations and relative rights and priorities:
          (a)     Subject to the preferences, right and priorities of the Preferred Shares, the corporation's Board of Directors may, in its discretion, declare out of funds legally available therefor, dividends payable in cash, stock or otherwise on each outstanding share of the Common Shares.
          (b)     Each outstanding share of the Common Shares shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders except the election of directors. Holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to elect all directors of the corporation except three (3), who shall be elected by holders of the Preferred Shares as set forth above. Cumulative voting shall apply in the election of directors such that each outstanding share of the Common Shares shall have the number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected by holders of Common Shares. The cumulative votes may be cast for any one nominee for director to be elected by holders of Common Shares or distributed in any proportion among as many such nominees as the shareholder chooses.

-5-

          ( c )     Each outstanding share of the Common Shares shall be entitled to share equally in the distribution of the corporation's assets available for distribution to shareholders upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the corporation, subject to the rights, preferences and priorities of the Preferred Shares described in this Article 2.

ARTICLE 3

          The address of the corporation's initial registered office is Starks Building, Suite #627, 455 South 4th Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, and the name of the initial registered agent is John McCord, whose address is Starks Building, Suite #627, 455 South 4th Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202.

          Section 2.

          Section 3.     
Any repeal or modification of this Article by the shareholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation hereunder in respect of any act of omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

      6. Default in Payment.
        1. If any Member fails to pay all of an Additional Capital Contribution required by this Article 2 on or before the date specified in the notice delivered by the Manager under Section 2.3, the Manager will deliver a second written notice to the Member specifying the amount of the contribution owed by the Member to the Company.

        1. By Majority Vote or Super-Majority Vote, as applicable, the Class A Members may consent or withhold consent with respect to those matters as the Members may consent to under the provisions of this Agreement or, under the Act, must give consent to in order for the Manager's actions to be authorized.

Any profits or income earned by a Member or Affiliate as the result of a transaction with the Company belongs to the Member or Affiliate and not the Company, so long as amounts paid for, and other terms relating to the furnishing of such goods or services, are not materially less advantageous to the Company than the amounts and terms for and upon which similar goods or services could be obtained in the same geographic area from good quality corporations or business enterprises which are not Members or Affiliates of Members.
      6. No Restrictions in Other Businesses. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict in any manner the freedom of each Member to conduct its business, either as currently contacted in as it may be conducted in the future, in such manner as such Member sees fit; provided, however, that this Section 6.6 does not excuse any Member from performing any duty or obligation expressly set forth herein, including, without limitation, the obligations contained in Article 2.

Any Member may in the manner provided in Section 7.3 Transfer all but not less than all of its Interest (a) to any Person all of the equity of which is owned by the Member or to any Person that directly or indirectly owns all of the equity of the Member; (b) to any other Person approved by a Majority Vote, (c) as expressly permitted by the Subscription Agreement(s) executed and delivered by a Member in connection with such Member's Initial Capital Contribution, or (d) in compliance with the provisions set forth in Appendix E, provided however, that, except in the case of a Transfer permitted pursuant to Subsection (c) of this Section 7.2, a Class A Member shall not Transfer its Class A Interest to any Person other than another existing Class A Member without the prior written approval of the Manager. If a Limited Rights Member so transfers its Interest, the transferee of such Interest shall thereafter be considered a "Limited Right Member" as to such Interest.
      3. Requirements for Transfer. If there is to be any Transfer of any Interest pursuant to Section 7.2(a), (b) or (c) or to a Bona Fide Offeror as provided in Appendix E, such Transfer will be permitted only after compliance with the following requirements: (a) the transferee must execute and deliver to the Company such evidence as it may require, including without limitation, an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to confirm that the Transfer of the Interest does not violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law, and (b) the transferee must execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement and expressly assume the Commitment and any other duties and obligations of the transferor hereunder.

Upon an event of dissolution described in Section 8.1, the Company is to be dissolved and wound up and liquidated pursuant to Section 8.4, unless the Members by Majority Vote, within 90 days after such event, elect to continue the Company.

        2. Upon the transfer of a portion of a Member's interest in the Company, the portion of such Member's Capital Account attributable to the transferred portion shall carry over to the transferee.

  3. ALLOCATION OF BOOK INCOME AND LOSS
      1. Book Income And Loss.
        1. The Book income or loss of the Company for purposes of determining allocations to the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be determined in the same manner as the determination of the Company's taxable income, except that (i) items that are required by section 703(a)(1) of the Code to be separately stated shall be included; (ii) items of income that are exempt from inclusion in gross income for federal income tax purposes shall be treated as Book income, and related deductions that are disallowed under section 265 of the Code shall be treated as Book deductions; (iii) Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditures shall be treated as deductions; (iv) items of gain, loss, depreciation, amortization, or depletion that would be computed for federal income tax purposes by reference to the Tax Basis of an item of Company property shall be determined by reference to the Book Value of such item of property; and (v) the effects of upward and downward revaluations of Company property pursuant to Section 2.02 of this A ppendix B shall be treated as gain or loss respectively from the sale of such property.
        2. In the event that the Book Value of any item of Company property differs from its Tax Basis, the amount of Book depreciation, depletion, or amortization for a period with respect to such property shall be computed so as to bear the same relationship to the Book Value of such property as the depreciation, depletion, or amortization computed for tax purposes with respect to such property for such period bears to the Tax Basis of such property. If the Tax Basis of such property is zero, the Book depreciation, depletion, or amortization with respect to such property shall be computed by using a method consistent with the method that would be used for tax purposes if the Tax Basis of such property were greater than zero.
        3. Allocations to the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be based on the Book income or loss of the Company as determined pursuant to this Section 3.01. Such allocations shall be made as provided in the Agreement except to the extent modified by the provisions of this Article III.
      2. Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Shares.
      3. Allocation Of Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, any item of Member Nonrecourse Deduction with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Member or Members who bear the economic risk loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i).
      4. Chargebacks Of Income And Gain. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement:
        1. Company Minimum Gain. In the event that there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a taxable year of the Company, then before any other allocations are made for such taxable year, each Member shall be allocated items of Book income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) to the extent required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(f).
        2. Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. In the event that there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a taxable year of the Company, then after taking into account allocations pursuant to paragraph (a) immediately preceding, but before any other allocations are made for such taxable year, each Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such year shall be allocated items of Book income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) to the extent required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
        3. Application for Waiver. In the event that the Manager determines that the application of the provisions of Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b) of this Appendix B would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members, any Officer may, on behalf of the Company, request a waiver of the application of either or both of such provisions pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(f)(4) or Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
        4. Qualified Income Offset. In the event that any Member unexpectedly receives any Account Reduction Item that results in an Excess Deficit Balance at the end of any taxable year after taking into account all other allocations and adjustments under this Agreement other than allocations under Section 3.04(e) of this Appendix B, then items of Book income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) will be reallocated to each such Member in the amount and in the proportions needed to eliminate such Excess Deficit Balance as quickly as possible.
        5. Gross Income Allocation. If, at the end of any taxable year, the Capital Accounts of any Members have Excess Deficit Balances after taking into account all other allocations and adjustments under this Agreement, then items of Book income and gain for such year will be reallocated to such Members in the amount and in the proportions needed to eliminate such Excess Deficit Balances as quickly as possible.
      5. Reallocation To Avoid Excess Deficit Balances. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, no Book loss or deduction shall be allocated to any Member to the extent that such allocation would cause or increase an Excess Deficit Balance in the Capital Account of such Member. Such Book loss or deduction shall be reallocated away from such Member and to the other Members in accordance with the Agreement, but only to the extent that such reallocation would not cause or increase Excess Deficit Balances in the Capital Accounts of such other Members.
      6. Corrective Allocation. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 and 3.05 of this Appendix B, but notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Regulatory Allocation is made pursuant to this Appendix for any taxable year, then remaining Book items for such year (and, if necessary, Book items for subsequent years) shall be allocated or reallocated in such amounts and proportions as are appropriate to restore the Adjusted Capital Account Balances of the Members to the position in which such Adjusted Capital Account Balances would have been if such Regulatory Allocation had not been made.
      7. Other Allocations.
        1. If during any taxable year of the Company there is a change in any Member's interest in the Company, allocations of Book income or loss for such taxable year shall take into account the varying interests of the Members in the Company in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 706 of the Code.
        2. If and to the extent that any distribution of Section 751 Property to a Member in exchange for property other than Section 751 Property is treated as a sale or exchange of such Section 751 Property by the Company pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.751-1(b)(2), any Book gain or loss attributable to such deemed sale or exchange shall be allocated only to Members other than the distributee Member.
        3. If and to the extent that any distribution of property other than Section 751 Property to a Member in exchange for Section 751 Property is treated as a sale or exchange of such other property by the Company pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.751-1(b)(3), any Book gain or loss attributable to such deemed sale or exchange shall be allocated only to Members other than the distributee Member.


  4. ALLOCATION OF TAX ITEMS
      1. In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Article IV, all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Members for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as the corresponding allocation for Book purposes.
      2. Section 704(C)(1)(A) Allocations. In the event that the Book Value of an item of Company property differs from its Tax Basis, allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization, gain, and loss with respect to such property will be made for federal income tax purposes in a manner that takes account of the variation between the Tax Basis and Book Value of such property in accordance with section 704(c)(1)(A) of the Code and Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i). The Manager may select any reasonable method or methods for making such allocations, including, without limitation, any method described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-3(b), (c), or (d).
      3. Tax Credits. Tax credits shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).


  5. OTHER TAX MATTERS
      1. Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For the purpose of determining the Members' shares of the Company's Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.752-3(a)(3) and 1.707-5(a)(2)(ii), and solely for such purpose, the Members' interests in profits are hereby specified to be their respective Shares.
      2. Exculpatory Liabilities. The Manager may (a) treat deductions attributable to Exculpatory Liabilities as deductions that are not Nonrecourse Deductions, and (b) disregard Exculpatory Liabilities in the determination of Company Minimum Gain.
      3. Treatment Of Certain Distributions. In the event that (i) the Company makes a distribution that would (but for this Subsection (a)) be treated as a Nonrecourse Distribution; and (ii) such distribution does not cause or increase a deficit balance in the Capital Account of the Member receiving such distribution as of the end of the Company's taxable year in which such distribution occurs; then the Manager may treat such distribution as not constituting a Nonrecourse Distribution to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(h)(3).
        1. In the event that (i) the Company makes a distribution that would (but for this Subsection (b)) be treated as a Member Nonrecourse Distribution; and (ii) such distribution does not cause or increase a deficit balance in the Capital Account of the Member receiving such distribution as of the end of the Company's taxable year in which such distribution occurs; then the Manager may treat such distribution as not constituting a Member Nonrecourse Distribution to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(6).
      4. Reduction Of Basis. In the event that a Member's interest in the Company may be treated in whole or in part as depreciable property for purposes of reducing such Member's basis in such interest pursuant to section 1017(b)(3)(C) of the Code, the Manager may, upon the request of such Member, make a corresponding reduction in the basis of its depreciable property with respect to such Member, and shall make such adjustment if required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.1017-1(g)(2)(C). Such request shall be submitted to the Company in writing, and shall include such information as may be reasonably required in order to effect such reduction in basis.
      5. Entity Classification. Neither the Company nor any Member shall file or cause to be filed any election, the effect of which would be to cause the Company to be classified as other than a partnership for federal income tax purposes, without the prior written consent of all Members.

        1.

APPENDIX C Indemnification

MABCO STEAM COMPANY, LLC

INDEMNIFICATION

This Appendix C is attached to and is a part of the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") of MABCO Steam Company, LLC (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used in this Appendix C and not defined herein have the meanings specified or cross-referenced in Appendix A unless otherwise specified, all references in this Appendix C to any Section, Appendix or Exhibit is a reference to a Section, Appendix or Exhibit to the Agreement.

  1. Right to Indemnity. If any Member or the Manager, or any trustee, director, officer, partner, member, or manager of any Member or of the Manager serving on behalf of the Company (an "Indemnitee") was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, proceeding, or investigation involving a cause of action or alleged cause of action for damages or other relief arising from or related to the business or affairs of the Company or the offer or sale of any Interest, the Company (but without recourse to the separate assets of any Member) is to indemnify the Indemnitee against all losses, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, so long as the Indemnitee has met the standard set forth in Section 5.4(b). The termination of any action, suit, proceeding, or i nvestigation by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent does not, of itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner she, he, or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances and, with respect to any criminal action, proceeding, or investigation, that she, he, or it had reasonable cause to believe her, his, or its conduct was unlawful.
  2. Advancement of Expenses. Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by any Indemnitee in defending an action, suit, proceeding, or investigation are to be paid by the Company as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, upon the terms and conditions as may be determined by the Manager, upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.
  3. Other Rights to Indemnity or Reimbursement, Survival. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification under this Agreement is to be provided only with respect to losses, costs, expenses, judgments, and amounts which otherwise are not compensated for by insurance carried for the benefit of the Company. Indemnification under this Agreement is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any rule of law (whether common law or statutory), agreement, or arrangement, whether as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such position or while employed by or acting as agent for the Company, and continues as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in any capacity on behalf of the Company and inures to the benefit of the heirs, successors, executors, and administrators of the Indemnitee.
  4. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company may indemnify any employee or agent of the Company and any employee or Affiliate of any Member serving on behalf of the Company upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Manager considers appropriate.
  5. Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was or has agreed to become a Manager against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him or on his behalf in any capacity, or arising out of his status as a Manager or in another capacity, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against the liability under the provisions of this Agreement.
  6. Savings Clause. If this Appendix C or any portion thereof is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company is nevertheless to indemnify each Indemnitee as to costs, charges, and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, including any action by or in the right of the Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Appendix C that has not been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Failure to specifically identify an action to be taken or the business to be transacted does not invalidate any action taken or any business transacted at a special meeting. Notice of adjournment of a meeting need not be given if the time and place to which it is adjourned are fixed and announced at the meeting.
    3. Meetings of the Members may be held at any location, within or without the United States. Members may participate in a meeting of the Members by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting constitutes presence in person at the meeting.
    4. Whenever notice of a meeting is required to be given under this Agreement, a written waiver of notice, signed by the Member entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the meeting, is equivalent to notice. A Member's attendance at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the Member attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
  9. Record Date of Members.

    2. The record date set for any meeting is the record date for all adjournments of the meeting, unless the Manager who fixed the original record date fix another date, in accordance with this Agreement. If a new record date is fixed, notice of the new record date and of the date, time, and place to which the meeting was adjourned is to be given to the Members of record as of the new record date in accordance with this Agreement.
    3. The Manager may close the transfer books against transfers of membership interests during the whole or any part of the period after a record date and until the meeting (including any adjournments of the meeting), distribution, or other action.
    4. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining the Members who are entitled to receive notice of, or who are entitled to vote at a meeting, to receive a distribution, or to take any action is the date next preceding the day at which the notice is given, the meeting is held, the distribution is made, or the action is taken, as the case may be.
  10. Voting.
    1. Except to the extent that the voting rights of a Member or any Member's membership interests or any class of membership interest are increased, limited, or denied by the terms of this Agreement, Class A Members vote their Class A Shares on each matter submitted to the Members for their vote, consent, waiver, release, or other action by Majority Vote and by Super-Majority Vote. Unless this Agreement otherwise provides, a Class A Member votes that Member's entire Class A Share even though the Additional Capital Contribution has not been fully paid, but Interests on which a capital contribution is overdue for payment under the terms of this Agreement or in default cannot be voted.
    2. Class A Members holding Class A Interests that represent more than 66 2/3 percent of the Shares of Class A Interests outstanding are a quorum for the transaction of business on any matters as to which a vote is to be taken. The holders of 66 2/3 of the Class A Shares present at a meeting of the Members may adjourn the meeting from time to time.
    3. Except to the extent that this Agreement otherwise provides, the affirmative vote of Class A Members holding more than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Shares of Class A Interests outstanding is approval by Majority Vote, and the affirmative vote of Class A Members holding more than eighty percent (80%) of all Shares of Class A Interest is approval by Super-Majority Vote.
  11. Written Consent or Action. Any action that the Members may authorize or take at a meeting may be authorized or taken without a meeting with notice to all Members and the affirmative vote or approval of, and in a writing or writings signed by those Members whose vote would be necessary to take or authorize the action at a meeting.
  12. Rescission or Revocation. Any vote, consent, waiver, release, or other action authorized or taken by the Members may be rescinded or revoked by the same vote, consent, waiver, release, or other action as of the time of the rescission or revocation is taken, as was required to authorize or take the action in the first instance, subject to the contract rights of other persons.
  13. Proxies.
    1. A Member may vote, execute consents, waivers, and releases, and exercise any of the Member's other rights by proxy or proxies appointed in writing and signed by the Member.
    2. No appointment of a proxy is valid after the expiration of eleven months after it is made unless the writing specifies the date on which it is to expire or the length of time it is to continue in force. Every appointment is revocable unless the appointment of a proxy is coupled with an interest. A revocable proxy is not revoked by the death, incompetence, or other incapacity of the Member that made the proxy unless, before the authority granted is exercised, written notice of the incapacity is received by the Company from the authorized representative of the Member. Without affecting any vote previously taken, the Member appointing a proxy may revoke a revocable appointment by a later proxy received by the Company or by giving notice of revocation to the Company in writing or at a meeting. Presence at a meeting in person does not, unless other action indicating revocation is taken, revoke any proxy then in effect.
  14. Records of Actions Taken. Upon any exercise of Voting Rights, the Manager is to keep complete and accurate records and notify all Members of the action taken.
  15. Further Assurances. All Members are contractually bound by the action taken or authorized pursuant to any exercise of Voting Rights. Each Member is to exercise all of the Member's rights and powers as a Member under this Agreement, and applicable law in a manner designed to effectuate the action taken or authorized pursuant to any exercise of Voting Rights, and is to execute, acknowledge, and deliver such consents, approvals, agreements, or other documents or instruments as may be furnished from time to time by the Manager in order to effectuate the actions taken or authorized pursuant to the exercise of Voting Rights consummated in accordance with this Agreement.

APPENDIX E Transfer Provisions

MABCO STEAM COMPANY, LLC

TRANSFER PROVISIONS

This Appendix E is attached to and is a part of the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") of MABCO Steam Company, LLC. Capitalized terms used in this Appendix E and not defined herein have the meanings specified or cross-referenced in Appendix A unless otherwise specified. All references in this Appendix E to any Section, Appendix or Exhibit is a reference to a Section, Appendix or Exhibit to the Agreement.

1. If a Member (the "Offeror") receives an offer from an unaffiliated third party (the "Offeree") to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offeror's Interest for cash (a "Bona Fide Offer"), and such Member desires to accept the Bona Fide Offer, the Member is to give notice to the Company ("Offer Notice") specifying (i) the identity of the Offeree; (ii) the price (the "Price"), and (iii) any other material terms and conditions of the offer, including copies of any proposed purchase agreement, letter of intent or similar document(s).

2. The Offer Notice will be the Offeror's offer to the Company and/or the other Members to sell all, but not less than all, of the Offeror's Interest at the Price. Promptly upon receipt of the Offer Notice, the Company will send a copy thereof to each Member. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such copy each Member will notify the Company of the maximum percentage, if any, of the Offeror's Interest such Member desires to acquire. Any Member that does not timely give such notice to the Company will have elected not to acquire any percentage of the Offeror's Interest. Upon receipt of the Members' notices, if any, the Manager will allocate the Offeror's Interest among the Members that desire to purchase portions thereof so that each is allocated its Proportional Share. If the other Members desire to purchase, in the aggregate, all of the Offeror's Interest, then the Company will within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Offer Notice give notice to the Offeror, stating that its offer to sell has b een accepted, and specifying the closing date ("Exercise Notice"). In all other cases, the Offeror will have the right and obligation, subject to Section 7.3, to sell its Interest to the Offeree on the terms and conditions set forth in the Bona Fide Offer.

3. In the case of any purchase by the Members of an Offeror's Interest pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the closing of the purchase and sale will take place at the offices of the Company at 11:00 a.m. on the date specified in the Exercise Notice, or such other place, time or date as the Company and the Offeror may agree. At the closing, each of the purchasing Members will deliver, by bank check or wire transfer, a percentage of the Price equal to the percentage of the Offeror's Interest being acquired, against delivery by the Offeror of instrument(s) of conveyance, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, warranting (i) that the Interest, or portion thereof, being conveyed is conveyed free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of others, other than those arising under this Agreement, (ii) that the conveyance has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Offeror, and (iii) that such conveyance does not violate the rights of any third person. The Offeree's interest will be deemed transferred, and the Offeror no longer a Member, upon tender by the purchasing Members of the Price at the closing and, if the Offeror does not tender its Interest or tenders a conveyance not satisfactory to the Company, the Company will hold the Price in escrow for delivery to the Offeror upon delivery by it of conveyance documents satisfactory to the Company. A purchase of an Offeror's Interest pursuant to this Section 3 does not require compliance with Section 7.3.

In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of Odyssey shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to Odyssey for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value as of the date of contribution. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company Asset is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation b etween the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. The Company shall make curative allocations set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(c) to the extent necessary to fully offset the effect of the ceiling rule on the allocations pursuant to this Article IV. Such curative allocations shall be made at the time of the disposition of property, the allocations with respect to which were affected by the ceiling rule. Such curative allocations shall first be allocations of the gain or loss recognized by Odyssey on such disposition. To the extent such gain or loss is insufficient to fully offset the effect of the ceiling rule with respect to such property, allocations in the amount of such shortfall shall be made of other items of Company


10

 

income, gain or loss of similar character recognized upon the disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Odyssey. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Members in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Article IV are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(B)

Qualified Income Offset, Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Profits and Losses shall be allocated as though this Agreement contained (and there is hereby incorporated herein by reference) (i) a qualified income offset provision that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704(b)(2)(ii)(d) and (ii) minimum gain chargeback and partner minimum gain chargeback provisions which comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2.

(C)

Allocations Upon Liquidating Dispositions. Profits or Losses resulting from the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Odyssey shall be allocated in accordance with this Article IV.

(D)

Tax Credits. All tax credits of Odyssey for a fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in the same ration as Profits were allocated for such fiscal year, or it there were no Profits for such fiscal year, such tax credits shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Interests expressed as a percentage.

(E)

Treatment of Taxes Withheld; Distributions With Respect to Certain State and Local Taxes. All amounts withheld or paid by Odyssey pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment, distribution, or allocation to a Member, or any such amount that is paid by Odyssey solely by reason of the holding of a Membership Interest by any Member, shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 4.5 hereunder and shall be debited to its Capital Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that nay state, local or other income tax imposed on Odyssey as an entity for any fiscal year is reduced by reason of the holding of a Membership Interest by any Member, an amount equal to the reduction attributable to such Member shall be distributed to such Member within sixty (60) days after the end of the fiscal year.

4.5

Distributions. Other than distributions made pursuant to Article IX on termination, distributions of Net Cash from Operations shall be made at such times (but no less often than annually) as determined by the unanimous consent of the Board, in its sole discretion, to the Members in accordance with their Membership Interest; provided, however, that Members in default under this Agreement shall not be entitled to distributions so long as such Members are in default.

4.6

Non-Discretionary Minimum Distributions. All Members shall have the option to take a cash withdrawal from their capital account on a periodic basis, calculated as follows:

(A)

Odyssey's accountant shall estimate or project its taxable income on April 1st (for the period January 1 march 31), June 1st (for the period April 1 June 30), September 1st (for the period July 1 September 30) and December 31st (for the period October 1 December


11

 

31) of each year.

(B)

On the above dates, the above taxable income shall be multiplied by the maximum individual federal income tax rate plus the maximum individual self-employment tax rate (if wages cause Member to exceed FICA limit then the rate will only include the maximum Medicare portion of the self-employment rate) plus the maximum individual state tax rate plus the maximum individual local income tax rate.

(C)

The resulting product from above paragraph (B) shall then be multiplied by the Member's interest to determine the Member's "current estimated quarterly tax."

 

The minimum distribution shall be further adjusted by the Member's prior year final tax liability, within the Member's discretion. Accordingly, the minimum distributions shall occur on the following dates and be determined as follows:

Date

Minimum Distribution

April 1st, current year

Greater of the current estimated quarterly tax or 25% of the Member's prior year final tax liability

June 1st, current year

Greater of the current estimated quarterly tax or 25% of the Member's prior year final tax liability

September 1st, current year

Greater of the current estimated quarterly tax or 25% of the Member's prior year final tax liability

December 31st, current year

Greater of the current estimated quarterly tax or 25% of the Member's prior year final tax liability

March 15th, following year
              (year-end)

Balance of Members tax liability as calculated in above subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) as applied to Odyssey's actual taxable income for the current year.

 

If any of the above minimum distributions are not withdrawn on its respective date, the amount of the minimum distribution not withdrawn can be added to a subsequent quarterly minimum distribution or the year-end minimum distribution, and withdrawn upon the above respective date. However, a Member shall not carry-over to the following year any minimum distribution that the Member fails to withdraw. Therefore, any minimum distribution not timely withdrawn by the Member for the current year will remain in the Member's capital account and will not be used to increase the Member's minimum distribution for the following year.

4.7

Limitation on Distributions. No Member shall be entitled to a distribution pursuant to Section 4.5, if after giving effect to the distribution, Odyssey would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or if Odyssey's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities. A determination that a distribution is not prohibited und this subsection or the Act may be based either on financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable under the circumstances or



12

 

on a fair valuation or other method that is reasonable under the circumstances.

ARTICLE XII

TAXES

A.      Tax Matters Partner

1. Tax Matters Partner. The Partnership Manager is designated as the Tax Matters Partner ("TMP"), as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, ("Code"). In the event of any change in the TMP, the Partner serving as TMP at the beginning of a given taxable Year shall continue as TMP with respect to all matters concerning such Year. The TMP and other Partners shall use their best efforts to comply with responsibilities outlined in this section and in Code Sections 6222 through 6233 and 6050K (including any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) and in doing so shall incur no liability to any other Partner. Notwithstanding the TMP's obligation to use its best efforts in the fulfillment of its responsibilities, the TMP shall not be required to incur any expenses for the preparation for, or pursuance of administrative, or judicial proceedings, unless the Partners agree on a method for sharing such expenses.

2. Information Request by TMP. The Partners shall furnish the TMP within two weeks from the receipt of the request with such information (including information specified in Code Sections 6230(e) and 6050K) as the TMP may reasonably request to permit it to provide the Internal Revenue Service with sufficient information for purposes of Code Sections 6230(e) and 6050K.

3. TMP Agreements with IRS. The TMP shall not agree to any extension of the statute of limitations for making assessments on behalf of any other Partner without first obtaining the written consent of that Partner. The TMP shall not bind any other Partner to a settlement agreement in tax audits without obtaining the written concurrence of any such Partner.

Any other Partner who enters into a settlement agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury with respect to any partnership items, as defined by Code Section 6231(a)(3), shall notify the other Partners of such settlement agreement and its terms within ninety (90) days from the date of the settlement.

4. Inconsistent Treatment of Partnership Item. If any Partner intends to file a notice of inconsistent treatment under Code Section 6222(b), such Partner shall, prior to the filing of such notice, notify the TMP of such intent and the manner in which the Partner's intended treatment of a partnership item is (or may be) inconsistent with the treatment of that item by the Partnership. Within one week of receipt the TMP shall remit copies of such notification to other Partners to the Partnership. If an inconsistency notice is filed solely because of a Partner not having received a Schedule K-1 in time for filing of its income tax return, the TMP need not be notified.

5. Communication of Proceedings to Partners. The TMP shall to the extent and in the manner provided by regulations issued pursuant to Section 6223(g) of the Code, keep all Partners informed of all administrative and judicial proceedings for the adjustment at the Partnership level of Partnership items.

6. Requests for Administrative Adjustment. No Partner shall file a request pursuant to Code Section 6227 for an administrative adjustment of partnership items for any Partnership taxable Year without first notifying all other Partners. If all other Partners agree with the requested adjustment, the TMP shall file the request for administrative adjustment on behalf of the Partnership. If unanimous consent is not obtained within thirty (30) days from such notice, or within the period required to timely file the request for administrative adjustment, if shorter, any Partner, including the TMP, may file a request for administrative adjustment on its own behalf.

7. Judicial Proceedings. Any Partner intending to file a petition under Code Sections 6226, 6228, or any other Code Section with respect to any Partnership item, or other tax matters involving the Partnership, shall notify the other Partners, prior to such filing, of the nature of the contemplated proceeding. In the case where the TMP is the Partner intending to file such petition, such notice shall be given sixty (60) days prior to filing to allow the other Partners to participate in the choosing of the forum in which such petition will be filed. If the Partners do not agree on the appropriate forum, then the appropriate forum shall be decided by majority vote. Each Partner shall have a vote in accordance with its Ownership Interest in the Partnership for the Year under audit. If a majority cannot agree, the TMP shall choose the forum. If a Partner intends to seek review of any court decision rendered as a result of such a proceeding such Partner shall notify the other Partners, prior to see king such review.

B.      Income Tax Compliance and Capital Accounts

1. Tax Returns. The TMP shall prepare and file all required federal, state, and local partnership income tax returns, as well as all sales, use and other excise tax returns. In preparing such returns the TMP shall use its best efforts and in doing so shall incur no liability to any other Partner with regard to such returns. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions), but in no event later than September 1, the TMP shall submit to each Partner a copy of the income tax returns as proposed for review.

2. Fair Market Value Capital Accounts. The TMP shall establish and maintain FMV Capital Accounts and Tax Basis Capital Accounts for each Partner. Upon request, the TMP shall submit to each Partner along with a copy of any proposed Partnership income tax return an accounting of its respective FMV Capital Account and Tax Basis Capital Account as of the end of the tax return period.

3. Information Requests. Each Partner agrees to furnish to the TMP not later than sixty (60) days before the return due date (including extensions) such information relating to the operations conducted under this Agreement as may be required for the proper preparation of all such tax returns and capital accounts.

2. Other Elections or Consents. Any election other than those referenced above must be approved by the Management Committee.

D.      Capital Contributions and FMV Capital Accounts

1. Capital Contributions. The respective capital contributions of each Partner to the Partnership shall be (a) each Partner's interest in the assets and associated properties contributed to this Partnership, and (b) all other amounts paid by each Partner characterized as contributions or expenses borne by such Partner under this Agreement.

2. FMV Capital Accounts. The FMV Capital Accounts shall be increased and decreased as follows:

                (a)      The FMV Capital Accounts shall be increased by: (i) the amount of money and the fair market value of any property contributed by each Partner, respectively, to the Partnership (net of liabilities assumed by the Partnership or to which the contributed property is subject); (ii)  that Partner's ARTICLE XII.E.1. and E.2. allocated share of Partnership loss and deductions, or items thereof; and (iii) that Partner's share of Code Section 705(a)(1)(B) and (C) items.

                (b)      The FMV Capital Accounts shall be decreased by: (i) the amount of money and the fair market value of property distributed to each Partner (net of liabilities assumed by such Partner or to which the property is subject); (ii)  that Partner's ARTICLE XII.E.1. and E.2. allocated share of Partnership loss and deductions, or items thereof; and (iii) that Partner's share of Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) items and Code Section 709 nondeductible and non-amortizable items.

                (c)      "Fair market value" when it applies to property contributed by or distributed to a Partner or other Partnership property shall be determined by the Management Committee.

E.      Partnership Allocations

1.      Primary FMV Capital Account Allocations. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, each item of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated to each Partner according to such Partner's Ownership Interest at the time such item is realized.

2. Other FMV Capital Account Allocations.

                (a)      Depreciation shall be allocated to each Partner in the ratio of its FMV Capital Account adjusted basis of the underlying depreciable asset;

                (b)      Loss (or simulated loss) upon the sale, exchange, distribution, abandonment or other disposition of depreciable or depletable property, shall be allocated to the Partners in the ratio of their respective FMV Capital Account adjusted basis in the depreciable property;

                (c)      Gain (or simulated gain) upon the sale, exchange, distribution, or other disposition of depreciable or depletable property shall be allocated to the Partners so that the FMV Capital Account balances of the Partners with respect to such property will most closely reflect their respective Ownership Interests;

                (d)      Costs or expenses of any other kind shall be allocated to each Partner in accordance with its respective contribution, or obligation to contribute, to such costs or expenses.

3. Tax Returns and Tax Basis Capital Account Allocations.

                (a)      Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the allocations of Partnership items of income, gain, loss or deduction for tax return and Tax Basis Capital Account purposes shall be the same as those contained in ARTICLE XII.E.1. and E.2.;

                (b)      Depreciation shall be allocated to each Partner in accordance with its contribution to the adjusted tax basis of the depreciable asset;

                (c)      Any recapture of depreciation or any other item of deduction or credit shall, to the extent possible, be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their sharing of the depreciation or other item of deduction or credit which is recaptured;

                (d)      For Partnership property which has a value in the FMV Capital Accounts which differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, any tax items relating to such property will be allocated to the Partners in a manner which takes into account the variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its FMV Capital Account value under Code Section 704(c).

F.      Termination and Liquidating Distributions

1. Termination. Termination shall occur on the earlier of the events described in Code Sections 708(b)(1)(B) or 708(b)(1)(A).

                (a)      Termination Under Code Section 708(b)(1)(B). Upon termination under Code Section 708(b)(1)(B), each Partner's FMV Capital Account shall be adjusted as provided for in the regulations, Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(1), and ARTICLE XII. F.3. The distributions provided for in ARTICLE XII.F.2. through F.4. shall be deemed to have occurred, with the Partnership money and properties deemed contributed to a new Partnership, the terms of which are identical to those contained in this Agreement.

                (b)      Termination Under Code Section 708(b)(1)(A). Upon termination under Code Section 708(b)(1)(A), the business shall be wound-up and concluded, pursuant to ARTICLE XIII.D. and the assets shall be distributed to the Partners as described below by the end of such calendar year (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such termination). The assets shall be valued and distributed to the Partners in the order provided in ARTICLE XII.F.2. through F.4.

2. Reversion. First, all money representing unexpended contributions by any Partner and any property where no interest has been earned in that property under the Agreement by any other Partner shall be returned to the contributor.

3. Balancing. Second, the FMV Capital Accounts of the Parties shall be determined under this section. The TMP shall take the actions specified under this section in order to cause the ratio of the Partners' FMV Capital Accounts to reflect as closely as possible their Ownership Interests. The ratio of a Partner's FMV Capital Account is represented by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Partner's FMV Capital Account balance and the denominator of which is the sum of all Partners' FMV Capital Account balances. Such actions are hereafter referred to as "balancing the FMV Capital Accounts", and when completed, the FMV Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be referred to as being "balanced". The manner in which the FMV Capital Accounts of the Partners are to be balanced under this ARTICLE XII.F.3. shall be determined as follows:

                (a)      The fair market value of all Partnership properties shall be determined and the gain or loss for each property which would have resulted if a sale thereof at such fair market value had occurred shall be allocated in accordance with ARTICLE XII.E.2(b) and (c). If thereafter any Partner has a negative FMV Capital Account balance, that is, a balance less than zero, such Partner shall contribute an amount of money to the Partnership sufficient to achieve a zero balance FMV Capital Account. Any Partner may contribute an amount of money to the Partnership to facilitate the balancing of the FMV Capital Accounts. IF FMV Capital Accounts are not balanced, ARTICLE XII.F.3(b) or (c) shall apply;

                (b)      If all the Partners consent, any money or an undivided interest in certain selected properties shall be distributed to one or more Partners as necessary for the purpose of balancing the FMV Capital Accounts;

                (c)      Unless (b) above applies, an undivided interest in each and every property shall be distributed to one or more Partners in accordance with the ratios of their FMV Capital Accounts;

                (d)       If a property is to be valued under (a) above or distributed pursuant to (b) or (c) above, the fair market value of the property shall be agreed to by the Management Committee. In the event the Management Committee can not reach agreement as to the fair market value of property, the TMP shall cause a nationally recognized independent engineering firm to prepare an evaluation of fair market value of such property.

4. Final Distribution. Third, after the FMV Capital Accounts of the Partners have been adjusted pursuant to ARTICLE XII.F.3. above, all other or remaining property and interest then held by the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their positive FMV Capital Account balances.

G.      Transfers, Indemnification, and Correspondence

1. Transfers of Partnership Interests. Transfers of Ownership Interests shall be governed by the Agreement. A Partner transferring its interest, or any part thereof, shall notify the TMP in writing within two weeks of such transfer.

2. Indemnification. This Agreement does not include any indemnification provisions to protect Partners against any harm caused by a Code Section 708(b)(1)(B) termination. However, the Partners agree that if any of them makes a sale or assignment of its interest under this Agreement, such sale or assignment shall be structured, if reasonably possible, to avoid causing an Code Section 708(b)(1)(B) termination.

3. Correspondence. All correspondence relating to the preparation and filing of the Partnership's income tax returns and capital accounts shall be forwarded to:

Alliance Energy Services Partnership

c/o Allegheny Ventures, Inc.

ARTICLE XIII

TRANSFER OF INTEREST AND DISSOLUTION

A.      Transfer Of Interests

1.      Assignment Neither this Agreement nor any portion of a Partner's Ownership Interest may be assigned by a Partner without the written consent of the other Partner which consent shall be based on the nonassigning Partner's sole judgment of the desirability of the proposed assignee as a Partner. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Partner may not assign its Ownership Interest in the Partnership without the written consent of the other Partner if such assignment would constitute a sale or exchange of 50 percent or more of the total interest in partnership capital and profits within a 12-month period as defined in Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code.

2.      Right Of First Refusal Subject to ARTICLE XIII.A.1., if a Partner desires to dispose of its Ownership Interest in the Partnership ("Transferring Partner") then it may do so, after first offering the interest to the other Partner who shall have a preferential right to purchase such interest on the same terms offered by a bona fide purchaser ready and able to purchase. The Transferring Partner shall give written notice to the other Partner, at least forty five (45) days prior to the effective date of such disposition, specifying the interest, the price and terms of sale, the identity of the proposed purchaser and attaching a good faith Letter of Intent between the Transferring Partner and the proposed purchaser containing the material terms and conditions of the sale. The other Partner shall have a period of forty (40) days after the receipt of the notice to exercise its option to purchase the interest on the terms and conditions set forth in the Letter of Intent o r similar document. The other Partner shall exercise its option by giving written notice to the Transferring Partner within such 40-day period. If the other Partner does not exercise its option within the 40-day period, or after all required government approvals have been received, whichever is later, the Transferring Partner may proceed with the proposed sale. If the Transferring Partner has not completed said sale within 120 days, the preferential right of the other Partner shall be considered as revived and the interest shall have to be reoffered to the other Partner in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE XIII.A.1.

B.      Withdrawal

Except for matters technically constituting a withdrawal but permitted by ARTICLE XIII.A., a Partner may not voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership without the approval of the other Partner. Such withdrawal shall be on such terms and conditions as the Management Committee may prescribe.

C.      Bankruptcy

If, (a) Partner files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated a bankrupt, becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver or trustee with respect to any substantial part of its assets, or (b) a receiver or trustee is appointed or an attachment or execution levied with respect to any substantial part of a Partner's assets and the appointment is not vacated or the attachment or execution is not released within thirty (30) days, then the Partnership shall be dissolved pursuant to ARTICLE XIII.D. hereof by the other Partner, if allowed by applicable law. For the purposes of this ARTICLE XIII.C., the term "insolvent" shall mean that such Partner is not paying its debts to the Partnership or others, as such debts become due, or that such Partner is otherwise insolvent within the meaning of Title 11 U.S.C. or other applicable federal bankruptcy law.

D.      Dissolution; Winding Up; Liquidation

1.      Causes Of Dissolution The Partnership shall be dissolved on the happening of any of the following events:

               a)       Occurrence of any contingency which is specified elsewhere in this Agreement as causing dissolution.

               b)      A final determination that the business of the Partnership or the participation therein by a Partner is a violation of law.

               c)      Unanimous agreement of the Partners.

2.     Technical Dissolution The Partners acknowledge that withdrawal (including by transfer), expulsion, or the bankruptcy of a Partner technically may cause a dissolution of the Partnership even though not specified in ARTICLE XIII.D.1.

3.     Right To Continue Business After Dissolution On dissolution of the Partnership, either Partner (except a Partner who withdrew or otherwise caused a dissolution pursuant to ARTICLE XIII.D. hereof) shall have the right to elect to continue the business of the Partnership under the same name, by themselves, or with any additional Persons they may choose. If both Partners desire to continue the business, but are unable to agree on the terms for continuation of the business, the Partnership shall be liquidated pursuant to ARTICLE XIII.D.5.

4.     Survival Of Provisions The provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Partnership and/or the termination of any Partner's interest in this Partnership and shall remain binding on the Partners for a period of time necessary to resolve all matters (including, without limitation, Partnership tax returns, election and audits) regarding the federal and any applicable state income taxation of the Partnership.

5.      Winding Up And Liquidation On dissolution of the Partnership, it shall be wound up and liquidated as quickly as circumstances will allow. The assets of the Partnership shall first be applied to satisfy amounts owing to creditors other than Partners and then to satisfy amounts owing to Partners other than for capital and profits.

ARTICLE XIV

C.      Alternative Dispute Resolution

The Parties will in good faith attempt to promptly resolve any controversy or dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement by negotiation between the Parties. If, after negotiation for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, the Parties have not resolved the matter, then, at the request of either Party, the Parties will immediately mediate the matter through non-binding mediation at the earliest possible mutually agreed time.

If either Partner fails to appoint an arbitrator within the ten (10) days after demand for arbitration is given, or if the two arbitrators appointed by the Parties fail to appoint a third arbitrator within twenty (20) days after demand for arbitration is given, the Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association for the city in which the arbitration is to be held shall appoint the arbitrator or arbitrators necessary to complete the panel of three arbitrators.

The Partner demanding arbitration shall submit to the arbitration panel in writing the questions to be decided. The jurisdiction of the arbitrators shall be limited to the question or questions so submitted. The Partners agree that the arbitrators, in addition to a final award, may (i) render an interim ruling, including injunction relief, and (ii) assess responsibility for costs and other expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the parties, arising out of or occurring because of the arbitration proceedings. The ultimate award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be conducted in either Houston, Texas, or Louisville, Kentucky, or in such other location as the Parties may agree.

D.      Other Instruments

G.      Counterpart

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original.

J.      Confidentiality

All technical and proprietary information furnished by either Partner will be held in confidence by the Partners and will not be disclosed to others without the prior mutual consent of the Partners. This obligation does not apply to information which is required by law or any governmental agency to be disclosed nor to disclosures to parties seeking to acquire some or all of the stock of one of the Partners. Furthermore, this obligation shall not apply to information which now or hereafter becomes part of the public domain through no fault of either Partner, which either Partner can show was in its possession at the time of disclosure, or which either Partner hereafter receives from a third party free of any confidential obligation.
