Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an official committee is appointed in the Chapter 11 Case and a Consenting Noteholder is appointed to and serves on such official committee, the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed to limit such Consenting Noteholder’s exercise of its fiduciary duties in its role as a member of such committee, and any exercise of such fiduciary duties shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that serving as a member of such committee shall not relieve the Consenting Noteholder of any obligations to vote in favor of the Plan; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring any Consenting Noteholder to serve on any official committee in the Chapter 11 Case.
15. Public Announcements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, USEC shall not (a) use the name of any Consenting Noteholder (or any of its controlled affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, managers, stockholders, members, employees, partners, representatives or agents other than the Noteholder Advisors, in such capacity) in any press release or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission without such Consenting Noteholder’s prior written consent or (b) disclose to any person, other than legal, accounting, financial and other advisors to USEC, the name of any Consenting Noteholder or the principal amount or percentage of Notes held by any Consenting Noteholder or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, however, that USEC shall be permitted to disclose in the Press Release (defined below), the aggregate principal amount of, and aggregate percentage of Notes held by the Consenting Noteholders in the aggregate. USEC shall submit to the Noteholder Advisors all press releases, public filings, public announcements or other written communications with any news media in each case to be made by USEC relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and any amendments thereof for review and potential suggestions, which shall be promptly provided. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, or the rules of any applicable stock exchange or regulatory body, or in filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court, neither USEC nor the Consenting Noteholders shall, nor shall they permit any of their respective affiliates to, make any public announcement or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Definitive Documents; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing USEC shall issue a press release (the “Press Release”) no later than 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the second Business Day following the Agreement Effective Date substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and shall promptly thereafter file with the SEC a current report on Form 8-K filing the Press Release, this Agreement, and the Term Sheet. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if USEC fails to issue a Press Release in compliance with the previous sentence, any of the Consenting Noteholders may issue a Press Release containing all material information relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this paragraph 15 shall be deemed to waive, amend or modify the terms of any Noteholder Confidentiality Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights and obligations under each Noteholder Confidentiality Agreement (including the disclosure rights and obligations set forth in section 4 of the Noteholder Confidentiality Agreements) shall govern in the event that a Disclosure Trigger (as defined in the Noteholder Confidentiality Agreement) occurs or has occurred.
16. Relationship Among Consenting Noteholders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Consenting Noteholders under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that no Consenting Noteholder has any duty of trust or

confidence in any form with any other Consenting Noteholder, and there are no commitments among or between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Noteholder may trade in the Notes or other debt or equity securities of USEC without the consent of USEC or any other Consenting Noteholder, subject to applicable securities laws and paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement. No Consenting Noteholder shall have any responsibility for any such trading by any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between Consenting Noteholders shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.
17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Parties shall enter into various Definitive Documents upon the effective date of the Plan to give effect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
18. Survival of Agreement. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning a possible financial restructuring of USEC and in contemplation of a possible bankruptcy filing by USEC, and thus (a) the rights granted in this Agreement are enforceable by each signatory hereto without approval of the Bankruptcy Court, (b) the exercise of such rights will not violate the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and (c) USEC hereby waives its right to assert a contrary position in the Chapter 11 Case with respect to the foregoing.
19. Waiver. If the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, or following the occurrence of the Termination Date, if applicable, nothing shall be construed herein as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.
20. Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented without prior written consent of USEC and each Consenting Noteholder.
21. Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, including, without limitation, seeking an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.
22. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, may be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to New York jurisdiction, if the Chapter 11 Case is commenced, each Party agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

23. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXHIBITS ATTACHED HERETO.

Offer to Repurchase. In the event that reorganized USEC experiences a change of control (as defined in the Indenture for the New Notes but expressly excluding (a) any equity raise intended to support ACP or another next generation enrichment technology or (b) any sale or merger of reorganized USEC to or into an entity for the purpose of continuing to pursue commercialization of the ACP or such other next generation enrichment technology), USEC will be required to offer to repurchase all of the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(iii) the termination of efforts by USEC to commercialize ACP and either (A) the efforts of USEC to commercialize another next generation enrichment technology funded at least in part by new capital provided by EnrichmentCo have been terminated or are not being pursued or (B) the attainment of capital necessary to commercialize another next generation enrichment technology with respect to which USEC is involved which does not include new capital provided by EnrichmentCo.
Furthermore, EnrichmentCo. shall be expressly prohibited from making any payment of principal on the New Notes at any time EnrichmentCo has past-due and unpaid liabilities owed to the Federal Government.
The Unconditional Interest Claim shall mean the amount equal to the amount of interest on the New Notes (at the non-default rate of 8% per annum) that is accrued and unpaid in cash from the date of issuance through the earlier of (x) the date of commencement by EnrichmentCo of a proceeding under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or (y) the maturity of the New Notes. 4 The

Unconditional Interest Claim shall continue to be guaranteed by EnrichmentCo. and secured by the Lien notwithstanding the occurrence of a Termination Event.

The indenture pursuant to which the New Notes will be issued will contain covenants consistent with the corresponding covenants (if any) in the Indenture for the Notes (except as noted) covering (i) the payment of principal and interest, (ii) maintenance of an office or agency for the payment of the notes, (iii) SEC Reports (reorganized USEC will continue to file reports with the SEC even if not subject to reporting requirements), (iv) stay, extension and usury laws, (v) existence, (vi) maintenance of properties and (vii) maintenance of insurance. The indenture will otherwise contain no covenants that restrict the operation of USEC or its subsidiaries, or their respective businesses other than (i) limitations on EnrichmentCo.’s ability to transfer the Collateral, which covenant (a) will permit transfers in the ordinary course of business and in connection with an operational wind down of the business of EnrichmentCo., (b) will not limit transfers in support of ACP or next generation enrichment technology and (c) will permit unrestricted transfers of cash to USEC for general corporate purposes, to support its obligations under the New Notes and in support of ACP or next generation enrichment technology and (ii) limitations on liens that may be imposed on the assets of EnrichmentCo. (with exceptions consistent with USEC’s previous revolving credit facility).
4 For the avoidance of doubt, the Unconditional Interest Claim includes any interest paid in kind.
Management Incentive Program
On, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Effective Date, a management incentive program (the “Management Incentive Program”) shall be implemented to provide designated members of senior management of reorganized USEC with New Common Stock and/or options to purchase shares of New Common Stock. The Management Incentive Program will be attached to the Plan.
Restructuring Expenses
USEC shall pay all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of each Consenting Noteholder and the fees and expenses of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, Delaware counsel to the Consenting Noteholders and Houlihan Lokey (in accordance with the terms of their respective engagement letters) in connection with the Restructuring, including, without limitation, in connection with the negotiation, documentation and consummation of this Term Sheet, the solicitation materials, the Plan, all other documents related to the Plan and the Restructuring contemplated hereby and thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, all fees and expenses of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, Delaware counsel to the Consenting Noteholders and Houlihan Lokey that have accrued but remain unpaid as of the Effective Date shall be paid in full by USEC, in cash, no later than the Effective Date without application to the Bankruptcy Court.

B&W and Toshiba shall each have the right, but not the obligation, to elect one member consistent with current board/information arrangements among B&W, Toshiba and USEC.
Registration
The Company will register the New Common Stock under the Exchange Act and maintain its status as a reporting company. Subject to meeting applicable listing standards, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to list the New Common Stock for trading on a national securities exchange as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. To the extent reasonably practicable, without derogating from the terms hereof, the parties shall structure the Plan to maximize the ability of USEC to list the New Common Stock on a national securities exchange.
The New Common Stock will be issued pursuant to one or more exemptions from registration under federal and state securities laws, including the exemption provided by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, if applicable. Registration rights for Noteholders who cannot use the section 1145 exemption, such as certain affiliates, to be discussed.
The parties shall use good faith efforts to structure the Restructuring and the transactions contemplated to the maximum extent possible in a tax-efficient manner for the Company and the Consenting Noteholders.
Releases
