(&#8220;USEC&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) entered into Amendment No. 003 (&#8220;Amendment No. 003&#8221;) to the agreement dated May 1, 2014 with UT-Battelle, LLC, as operator of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (&#8220;ORNL&#8221;), for continued research, development and demonstration of the American Centrifuge technology in furtherance of the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s (&#8220;DOE&#8221;) national security objectives (the &#8220;American Centrifuge Technology Demonstration and Operations Agreement&#8221; or &#8220;ACTDO Agreement&#8221;).  Amendment No. 003 amends the ACTDO Agreement to provide for additional funds of approximately $2.5 million, bringing total funding to approximately $16 million.  The other terms and conditions of the ACTDO Agreement were not changed by the Amendment.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;">The ACTDO Agreement provides for continued cascade operations, the continuation of core American Centrifuge research and technology activities, and the furnishing of related reports to ORNL.  The agreement is a firm fixed price contract with a total price of approximately $33.7 million for the period from May 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014.  The agreement provides for payments of approximately $6.7 million per month and is incrementally funded.  Funds currently allocated to the ACTDO Agreement are expected to cover the work to be performed through July 11, 2014.  The agreement also provides ORNL with two options to extend the agreement by six months each.  Each option is priced at approximately $41.7 million.  ORNL may exercise its option by providing notice 60 days prior to the end of the term of the agreement.  The total price of the contract including options is approximately $117 million.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;">Additionally, on June 27, 2014, USEC, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries American Centrifuge Holdings, LLC (&#8220;ACH&#8221;) and American Centrifuge Manufacturing, LLC (&#8220;ACM&#8221;) (USEC, ACH and ACM are collectively referred to as the &#8220;USEC Parties&#8221;), signed an agreement with The Babcock &amp; Wilcox Company (&#8220;B&amp;W&#8221;) and Babcock &amp; Wilcox Technical Services Group, Inc. (&#8220;B&amp;W TSG&#8221;) (B&amp;W and B&amp;W TSG are collectively referred to as the &#8220;B&amp;W Parties&#8221;) to resolve issues related to the expiration and termination of certain agreements (the &#8220;Settlement Agreement and Release&#8221; or the &#8220;Settlement Agreement&#8221;) in connection with (i) the limited demobilization of certain American Centrifuge project activities, including manufacturing activities, as a result of the reduction of the scope of work on the American Centrifuge project under the ACTDO Agreement; and (ii) the automatic, no-cost transfer of B&amp;W TSG&#8217;s ownership interest in ACM to ACH.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;">ACM was established as a jointly owned company between ACH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and B&amp;W TSG for the purpose of manufacturing and assembling AC100 centrifuge machines.  At that time, ACH held 55% of the ownership interests in ACM, and B&amp;W TSG held 45% of the ownership interests.  In connection with the creation of ACM, ACM and B&amp;W TSG entered into seconding agreements pursuant to which B&amp;W agreed to provide various personnel in support of ACM (the &#8220;Seconding Agreements&#8221;).  In addition, the USEC Parties and the B&amp;W Parties entered into certain ancillary agreements, including a Fee Agreement and a Guarantee Agreement dated as of May 1, 2011 (the &#8220;Other B&amp;W-ACM Agreements&#8221;).</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;">The scope of work under the ACTDO Agreement includes continuation of cascade operations at USEC&#8217;s Piketon Ohio facility, testing at USEC&#8217;s test facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, core American Centrifuge research and technology activities, and the furnishing of related reports to ORNL.  The scope of the overall work under the ACTDO Agreement is reduced from the scope of work that was being conducted by USEC under the prior Cooperative Agreement dated June 12, 2012 with DOE.  In particular, the scope of work under the ACTDO Agreement does not involve work related to the manufacturing of new centrifuge machines.  To better manage the transition to the ACTDO Agreement with ORNL, the Company provided notice effective April 25, 2014 pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of ACM, as amended, for the automatic transfer of the ownership interests of B&amp;W TSG to ACH at no cost.  As a result, ACM is now 100% indirectly </font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s81f2647ea6504afdb838c26f35de55dc"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;">owned by the Company.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;">Upon the automatic transfer of B&amp;W TSG&#8217;s ownership interests in ACM to ACH, the Seconding Agreements and the Other B&amp;W-ACM Agreements expired by their terms.  Upon the expiration of such agreements, certain disputes arose between the USEC Parties and the B&amp;W Parties relating to reimbursement of certain costs and continuing labor services to be provided by the B&amp;W Parties to ACM.  In order to resolve these disputes, the Parties entered into the Settlement Agreement.  The material terms of the Settlement Agreement include, among other things, that upon the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, ACM will pay or cause to be paid approximately $2.9 million.  In addition, ACM agreed to a contract for the provision of certain services by B&amp;W TSG, which services are anticipated to be completed by July 3, 2014.  It is estimated that the total price under such services contract for work performed from May 20, 2014 to completion of the contract activities will be approximately $450,000 subject to adjustment for the labor hours actually performed and if the period of performance under such contract extends past July 3, 2014.  The Settlement Agreement also provided a limited release by the B&amp;W Parties of the USEC Parties, and a limited release by the USEC Parties of the B&amp;W Parties, including from claims related to or arising from the formation, management, operation, or ownership of any interest in ACM and the provision of and payment for any services or personnel provided by a B&amp;W Party to ACM or any other USEC Party, except for any Excluded Matter.  Excluded Matters include, among other things, matters related to or arising from the Chapter 11 Case and the B&amp;W Plan Support Agreement (each as defined below) including B&amp;W&#8217;s interest in the New Notes and New Common Stock (each as defined in the B&amp;W Plan Support Agreement); matters related to or arising from acts or omissions occurring after the Effective Date; and liabilities for regulatory non-compliance.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11.5pt;">On March 5, 2014, the Company filed a voluntary petition seeking reorganization relief under Chapter&#160;11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the &#8220;Bankruptcy Court&#8221; and such case, the &#8220;Chapter 11 Case&#8221;).
