 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS 
  
 (1) The Borrower issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of common stock of par value
$1.25 per share of the Borrower (“Common Stock”), subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, to Allegheny Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, that operate in
tandem with the Convertible Bonds on July 24, 2003. 
  
 (2) On
July 24, 2003, the Trust issued and sold to certain purchasers $300,000,000 aggregate liquidation amount of 11 7/8% Mandatorily Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (the “Preferred Securities”). The Preferred Securities are convertible into shares of the Borrower’s common stock, par value $1.25 per share (the
“Common Stock”), and operate in tandem with the Convertible Bonds and the Warrants. 
  
 (3) The Lender Parties have been informed by the Borrower that the Borrower desires that the Preferred Securities be converted into Common Stock at this
time by means of offering holders of the Preferred Securities the right to receive a cash payment, if they agree to convert their Preferred Securities into Common Stock during the specified period (the “Offer”). 

 
 (4) In connection with the Offer and Consent Solicitation (as defined
below), in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Common Stock, the Borrower will pay to holders of Preferred Securities that have been converted in the Offer and Consent Solicitation who otherwise would have been entitled to a fractional share of
Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to the product of such fraction and the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, for the five trading days ending on the last trading day before the
expiration date of the Offer and Consent Solicitation (the “Fractional Share Payment”). 
  
 (5) In connection with the Offer, the Borrower and the Trust are also soliciting consents from holders of the Preferred Securities to amend certain
covenants and provisions of each of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of July 24, 2003, by and among the Trust, the Borrower, as sponsor of the Trust, Wilmington Trust Company, as institutional and Delaware trustee, and Jeffrey
D. Serkes, as regular trustee (the “Declaration of Trust”) and the Indenture, dated as of July 24, 2003, as amended (the “Indenture”) governing the Convertible Bonds (the
“Solicitation”, and together with the Offer and the Fractional Share Payment, the “Offer and Consent Solicitation”). 
  


					
	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	 









 (6) If at any time prior to June 15, 2006, the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Bonds is
less than $25,000,000, the Borrower has the option of redeeming all such remaining Convertible Bonds at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and
special interest, if any, to the date of redemption and such redemption will cause a redemption of Preferred Securities with a liquidation amount equal to the principal amount of Convertible Bonds redeemed (the “Subsequent
Redemption”). 
  
 (7) The Borrower has requested that
the Required Lenders consent to the Borrower and the Trust consummating the Offer and Consent Solicitation and the Subsequent Redemption on such terms as the board of directors of the Borrower may decide. 
  
 (8) The Borrower has also requested that the Required Lenders consent to the
prepayment or refinancing by MPC of its $7.73 Cumulative Preferred Stock and to WPPC’s additional securitization of its stranded costs in Pennsylvania. 
  
 (9) The Borrower has also requested that the Required Lenders agree to modify certain definitions and covenants in the Credit Agreement as set forth in
