SENTENCING GUIDELINES

10. The defendants understand that United States Sentencing Guidelines ("Sentencing Guidelines") are advisory, not mandatory, but that the Court must consider the Sentencing Guidelines in effect on the day of sentencing, along with the other factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. ｧ 3553(a), in determining and imposing a sentence. The defendants understand that the Sentencing Guidelines determinations will be made by the Court by a preponderance of the evidence standard. The defendants understand that although the Court is not ultimately bound to impose sentences within the applicable Sentencing Guidelines range, their sentences must be reasonable based upon considerations of all relevant sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. ｧ 3553(a).

SENTENCING AGREEMENT

11. The defendants stipulate and agree that, from approximately November 2003 through approximately August 2008, in connection with the conspiracy to defraud charged in Count One of the attached Information, the defendants gave Woodason approximately $297,000 in cash bribe payments, which shall be considered as the value of the bribe payment for sentencing purposes, pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ2C1.1(b)(2). The defendants also stipulate and agree that, as part of this scheme, Woodason, a co-conspirator, did not pay taxes due and owing on these bribe payments, and that approximately $104,666 (in unpaid state and federal taxes) shall be considered relevant conduct for sentencing purposes, pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ1B1.3.

12. The United States and defendant GROBART agree and stipulate that the combined adjusted offense level applicable to the offenses charged in the attached Information is level 27 (70-87 months) ("Stipulated Guidelines Range"), which is derived from the following calculations:

(a) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ2C1.1(a)(2), the base offense level for the charged conspiracy is 12.

(b) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ2C1.1(b)(2) and ｧ2B1.1(b)(1)(H), an additional fourteen-level (14) increase is appropriate because the value of the bribe payment obtained by Woodason and the tax loss caused by the bribe payments to Woodason is more than $400,000 but less than $1,000,000;

(c) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ3B1.1(c), an additional two-level (2) increase is appropriate because defendant GROBART was an organizer, leader, manager and supervisor in a criminal activity;

(d) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ3C1.1, an additional two-level (2) increase is appropriate because defendant GROBART willfully obstructed and impeded the administration of justice; and

(e) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ3E1.1, assuming defendant GROBART pleads guilty by March 24, 2011 and clearly demonstrates acceptance of responsibility through his allocution and subsequent conduct prior to the imposition of a sentence, a two-level reduction will be warranted, pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ3E1.1(a). Furthermore, assuming the defendant has accepted responsibility as described in the previous sentence, an additional one-level reduction is warranted, pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ3E1.1(b), because the defendant gave timely notice of his intention to enter a plea of guilty, thereby permitting the government to avoid preparing for trial and permitting the Court to allocate its resources efficiently.

13. The United States and defendant GROBART agree and stipulate that the fine range for GROBART for the offenses charged in the Information is from $12,500 to $125,000 (Level 27), pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧｧ5E1.2(b) and (c)(3).

14. The United States and defendant TENEYCK f/k/a NEILL SUPPLY agree and stipulate that the fine range for TENEYCK f/k/a NEILL SUPPLY for the offense charged in the Information is from $5,920,000 to $11,840,000, calculated as follows:

(a) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ8C2.3, the offense level for the charged conspiracy is 26, which is calculated from the base offense level of 12 (pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ2C1.1(a)(2)) plus an additional fourteen-level (14) increase is appropriate because the value of the bribe payment obtained by Woodason and the tax loss caused by the bribe payments to Woodason is more than $400,000 but less than $1,000,000 (pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ2C1.1(b)(2) and ｧ2B1.1(b)(1)(H));

(b) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ8C2.4(a), ｧ2C1.1(d)(1), and ｧ8C2.4(d), the base fine is $3,700,000;

(c) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ8C2.5, defendant TENEYCK f/k/a NEILL SUPPLY has a culpability score of 8, calculated as follows: The base level is five (5) pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ8C2.5(a), with a one-point (1) increase pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ8C2.5(b)(5) because the organization had 10 or more employees and an individual within substantial authority personally participated in the offense; a three-point (3) increase pursuant to ｧ8C2.5(e) for obstruction of justice; and a one-point (1) deduction pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ8C2.5(g) provided that the organization clearly demonstrates recognition and affirmative acceptance of responsibility for its criminal conduct;

(d) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ8C2.6, a culpability score of 8 leads to a minimum multiplier of 1.6 and a maximum multiplier of 3.2; and

(e) Pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ8C2.7(a) and ｧ8C2.7(b), the fine range is $5,920,000 to $11,840,000.

15. Nothing in this agreement limits the right of the parties to (i) present to the Probation Department or the Court any facts relevant to sentencing; (ii) make any arguments regarding where within the Stipulated Guidelines Ranges (or such other range as the Court may determine) the defendants should be sentenced and regarding the factors to be considered in imposing a sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. ｧ 3553(a); and (iii) seek an appropriately adjusted Sentencing Guidelines Range if it is determined based upon new information that the defendants' criminal history category is other than Category I. Nothing in this agreement limits the right of the Government to seek denial of the adjustment for acceptance of responsibility, pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ3E1.1, and/or imposition of an adjustment for obstruction of justice, pursuant to U.S.S.G. ｧ3C1.1, regardless of any stipulation set forth above, should the defendants move to withdraw their guilty plea once it is entered, or should it be determined that the defendants have either (i) engaged in conduct, unknown to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice at the time of the signing of this Agreement, that constitutes obstruction of justice, or (ii) committed another crime after signing this agreement.

16. It is understood that pursuant to Sentencing Guidelines ｧ6B1.4(d), neither the Probation Department nor the Court is bound by the above Guidelines stipulations, either as to questions of fact or as to the determination of the proper Guidelines to apply to the facts. In the event that the Probation Department or the Court contemplates any Guidelines adjustments, departures, or calculations different from those stipulated to above, or contemplates any sentence outside of the Stipulated Guidelines Ranges, the parties reserve the right to answer any inquiries and to make all appropriate arguments concerning the same.

17. The defendants understand that the sentences to be imposed on them are determined solely by the Court. It is understood that the Sentencing Guidelines are not binding on the Court. The defendants acknowledge that the entry of their guilty pleas to the charged offenses authorizes the sentencing court to impose any sentence, up to and including the statutory maximum sentence. The United States cannot, and does not, make any promise or representation as to what sentences the defendants will receive. Moreover, the defendants understand they will have no right to withdraw their pleas of guilty should the sentence imposed by the Court be outside the Stipulated Guidelines Ranges set forth above.

18. The United States and the defendants agree that (i) the defendants will not appeal or otherwise litigate under 28 U.S.C. ｧｧ 2255 and/or 2241 any sentence within or below the Stipulated Guidelines Ranges as set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) that the United States will not appeal any sentence within or above the Stipulated Guidelines Ranges as set forth above. This provision is binding on the parties even if the Court employs a Sentencing Guidelines analysis different from that set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, it is agreed that any appeal regarding the sentences of the defendants that are not foreclosed by this provision will be limited to that portion of the sentencing calculation that is inconsistent with (or not addressed by) this Agreement.

19. The defendants agree that 30 days prior to the date of sentencing they will have $300,000 in liquid assets in an escrow account controlled by their attorneys. The United States and the defendants agree to recommend to the Court that the funds in the escrow account be used only to satisfy any fine or restitution that the defendants are sentenced to pay. The defendants acknowledge, however, that the Court may sentence them to pay fines and restitution in excess of the amount in the escrow account. The United States and the defendants also agree that if the funds in the escrow account exceed the amount of fines and restitution the defendants are sentenced to pay, they will seek the Court's permission to return the remainder to the defendants.

20. The defendants agree to recommend to the Court that they be ordered to pay no less than $297,000 in restitution to Con Edison, jointly and severally with their co-conspirators.

21. The defendants understand that this Agreement does not in any way affect or limit the right of the United States to respond to and take positions on post-sentencing motions or requests for information that relate to a reduction or modification of their sentences.

22. The defendants understand and agree that should a conviction following their pleas of guilty pursuant to this Agreement be vacated for any reason, any prosecution that is not time-barred by the applicable statute of limitations on the date of the signing of this Agreement (including any counts that the Government has agreed to dismiss at sentencing pursuant to this Agreement) may be commenced or reinstated against them, notwithstanding the expiration of the statute of limitations between the signing of this Agreement and the commencement or reinstatement of such prosecution. It is the intent of this Agreement to waive all defenses based on the statute of limitations with respect to any prosecution that is not time-barred on the date that this Agreement is signed.

23. The defendants agree to waive any objection or defense that they may have that venue lies outside the Southern District of New York as to any Count. The defendants understand that this waiver is knowingly and voluntarily made after fully conferring with, and on the advice of, their counsel, and are made for their own benefit.

REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL

24. The defendants have reviewed all legal and factual aspects of this case with their attorneys and are fully satisfied with their attorneys' legal representation.

After conferring with their attorneys and considering all available alternatives, The defendants have made knowing and voluntary decisions to enter into this Agreement.

VOLUNTARY PLEA

25. The defendants hereby acknowledge that they have accepted this Agreement and decided to plead guilty because they are in fact guilty. By entering these pleas of guilty, the defendants SUPPLY waive any and all right to withdraw their pleas or to attack their convictions, either on direct appeal or collaterally, on the ground that the United States has failed to produce any discovery material, Jencks Act material, exculpatory material pursuant to Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), other than information establishing the factual innocence of the defendants, and impeachment material pursuant to Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972), that have not already been produced as of the date of the signing of this Agreement.

26. The defendants' decisions to enter into this Agreement and to tender pleas of guilty are freely and voluntarily made and are not the result of force, threats, assurances, promises, or representations other than the representations contained in this Agreement. The United States has made no promises or representations to the defendants as to whether the Court will accept or reject the recommendations contained within this Agreement.

ENTIRETY OF AGREEMENT

27. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the United States and the defendants concerning the disposition of the charges contained in the attached Information. The United States has made no other promises to or agreements with the defendants. This Agreement cannot be modified except in writing, signed by the United States and the defendants.
