SYSTEM COMPANIES AND INVESTMENT THEREIN AS OF December 31, 2001 (Continued) NOTES In 1999, West Penn Funding Corporation (WPFC) and West Penn Funding LLC (WPFLLC) were formed. WPFC is the sole member of WPFLLC. WPFLLC was formed for the sole purpose of purchasing and owning Intangible Transition Property (ITP), pledging its interest in ITP and other collateral to bond trustee, and performing activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish these purposes. ITEM 2. ACQUISITIONS OR SALES OF UTILITY ASSETS. Also in the first quarter, Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC acquired outstanding membership interests in five (5) limited liability companies for the sum of $1,028,000,000.00 (one billion twenty-eight million dollars), pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement between Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC and Enron North America Corp. ("Enron"), a Delaware corporation, dated November 13, 2000 (the "Agreement"). Under the Agreement, Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC agreed to purchase and Enron agreed to sell the outstanding membership interests in five (5) limited liability companies. Three (3) of these limited liability companies are exempt wholesale generators ("EWGs"): Des Plaines Green Land Development, L.L.C.; Gleason Power I, L.L.C.; and West Fork Land Development Company, L.L.C. (collectively the "EWGs"). Two (2) are not EWGs: Energy Financing Company, L.L.C.; and Lake Acquisition Company, L.L.C. (the "Non-EWG LLC's", and, together with the EWGs, the "LLCs"). The acquisitio
n netted 1,710 megawatts (MW) of natural gas-fired merchant generating capacity. Allegheny Energy, Inc. and Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC financed the acquisition with a combination of debt and equity securities. The transaction closed in the first quarter of 2001. ITEM 3.

Name and Long-Term All (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 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. ALLEGHENY ENERGY, INC. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN Estimated Future Payout Performance Threshold Target Maximum ITEM 6. PART III 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. ITEM 6. PART III PENSION PLAN TABLE Years of Credited Service Average $200,000 $60,000 $80,000 $100,000 $110,000 115,000 $120,000 (a) The earnings of Messrs. Noia, Pifer, Morrell, Gagliardi and Henderson covered by the plan correspond substantially to such amounts shown for them in the summary compensation table. As of December 31, 2001 they had accrued 32, 38, 5, 23 and 33 years of credited service, respectively, under the Retirement Plan. Pursuant to an agreement with Mr. Morrell, at the end of ten years of employment with Allegheny, Mr. Morrell will be credited with an additional eight years of service. Change In Control Contracts AE has entered into Change in Control contracts with the named and certain other Allegheny executive officers (Agreements). 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. ITEM 6. PART III 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. 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 Eleanor Baum (a) AE,MP,PE,WP 4,087 .05% or less (a) Mrs. Baum and Messrs. Campbell, Hoecker, Holland, Kleisner, Metz, Rice and Sarsten resigned as directors of MP, PE and WP effective December 6, 2001. All directors and executive officers *Excludes the outside directors' accounts in the Deferred Stock Unit Plan which, at March 1, 2002, were valued at the number of shares shown: Baum 5,079; Campbell 704; Hoecker 358, Holland 2,889; Kleisner 354, Metz 5,391; Rice 3,693; and Sarsten 4,726. All of the shares of common stock of Monongahela (5,891,000), Potomac Edison (22,385,000), and West Penn (24,361,586) are owned by AE. All of the common stock of AGC is owned by Monongahela (22.97%) and Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC (77.03%). ML IBK Positions, Inc. owns 1.967% of the ownership interest in Allegheny Energy Supply, LLC and Allegheny Energy, Inc. owns the rest. ITEM 6. PART III ITEM 13. ITEM 6. PART III MANAGEMENT REVIEW AND DIRECTOR AFFAIRS COMMITTEE REPORT 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 - Ensure internal compensation equity - maintaining a reasonable relationship between compensation and 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 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 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. FRANK A. METZ, JR., Chairman ITEM 7.

If any member fails to make payment when due of all or any portion of its share of Capital Call (such member the "Delinquent Member"), Odyssey shall give written notice such failure to the Delinquent Member with copies to each of the other Members. If the Delinquent Member fails to pay the amount due (including any costs associated therewith and interest on such obligation at the Interest Rate, which costs and interest payments shall not constitute Capital Contributions and shall not cause an increase in the Capital Account of such Delinquent Member) within ten (10) days of the giving of such notice by odyssey, the majority Non-Delinquent Members may elect to allow the Non-Delinquent Members to contribute (in addition to their portion of such Capital Call) all or any portion of such unpaid Capital Call in proportion to their respective Non-Interested Percentage Interests or on such basis as may be agreed among the Majority Non-Delinquent Membe
rs. Any such contributing Non-Delinquent Member shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Contributing Member." Effective upon and in consideration for the making of such additional Capital Contributions by the Contributing Members, (1) Odyssey shall issue to the Contributing Members additional Membership Interest so that the Percentage Interest of each Contributing member shall be increased by the number of percentage points equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the unpaid Capital Call or portion thereof contributed by such Contributing Member and the denominator of which is equal to the current total of all capital accounts as of the date of the Capital Call plus the total of the Capital Call, and (2) the Percentage Interest of the Delinquent Member shall be reduced by the same number of percentage points as the amount of such increase and number of Membership Interest held by the Delinquent Member shall be cancelled to correspond to the number of additional Membership Interest issued to t
he Contributing Members. |

Items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction shall be determined in accordance with Section 703 of the Code, and except as otherwise provided in this Article IV, the Members' distributive shares of such items for purposes of Section 702 of the Code shall be determined according to their respective shares of Profits or Losses to which such items relate. 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 |
|
|
|
||
|
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 |
|
|
|
||
|
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 |
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 |
||
|
|
|||
|
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.

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. 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.

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.

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. In the event the dispute is not resolved by such mediation, then the Parties will discuss the possibility of attempting further resolution of the dispute through another appropriate, non-binding, Alternative Dispute Resolution process such as mini-trial, neutral expert fact finding, or advisory opinion by a single neutral expert.

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.
