8.0% PIK Toggle Notes Due 2019/2024

On the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, all of the Company’s Old Notes that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date were cancelled and the Company issued the New Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The New Notes were issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $240.4 million. No cash was received related to the issuance. The principal amount may be increased by any payment of interest in the form of PIK payments, as elected by the Company.

The New Notes will mature on September 30, 2019. However, the maturity date shall be extended to September 30, 2024 upon the satisfaction of certain funding conditions described in the Indenture relating to the funding, under binding agreements, of (i) the American Centrifuge project or (ii) the implementation and deployment of a National Security Train Program utilizing American Centrifuge technology and delivery of a maturity date extension notice. The New Notes will pay interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or if no interest has been paid, from the initial issue date. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company has elected to pay 3.0% per annum of interest due on the New Notes for the interest periods ending on March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 in the form of PIK payments. As such, total interest payable at December 31, 2014 is $4.8 million of which $3.0 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $1.8 million is included in other long-term liabilities. For any interest payment date from October 1, 2015 through the maturity of the New Notes, the Company has the option to pay up to 5.5% per annum of interest due on the New Notes in the form of PIK payments.

The New Notes are guaranteed on a limited, subordinated and conditional basis by Enrichment Corp. Enrichment Corp. will be released from its guarantee without the consent of the holders of the New Notes upon the occurrence of certain termination events described in the Indenture (other than with respect to the payment of (i) any unpaid interest on the New Notes (including any unpaid interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, on the New Notes) and (ii) the principal and premium of any New Notes issued as a result of PIK payments made by the Company pursuant to the Indenture). The New Notes are not secured by a lien on any assets of the Company. Enrichment Corp.’s obligations under its guarantee are secured by a lien on Enrichment Corp.’s assets constituting collateral, including, among other things, its inventory and its accounts receivable, subject to certain exceptions.

The New Notes rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company (other than the Issuer Senior Debt as defined below) and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The New Notes are subordinated in right of payment to certain indebtedness and obligations of the Company described in the Indenture (the "Issuer Senior Debt"), including (i) any indebtedness of the Company under a future credit facility, (ii) obligations of, and claims against, the Company under any equity investment (or any commitment to make an equity investment) with respect to the financing of the American Centrifuge project, (iii) obligations of, and claims against, the Company under any arrangement with DOE, export credit agencies or any other lenders or insurers with respect to the financing or government support of the American Centrifuge project and (iv) indebtedness of the Company to Enrichment Corp. under the Centrus Intercompany Note.

The Enrichment Corp. guarantee ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of Enrichment Corp. (other than the Designated Senior Claims as defined below) and is senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Enrichment Corp. The Enrichment Corp. guarantee is subordinated in right of payment to certain obligations of, and claims against, Enrichment Corp. described in the Indenture (collectively, the "Designated Senior Claims"), including obligations and claims:

under a future credit facility;
held by or for the benefit of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") pursuant to any settlement of any actual or alleged ERISA Section 4062(e) event;
held by any party with respect to any equity investment (or any commitment to make an equity investment) with respect to the financing of the American Centrifuge project;
held by DOE, export credit agencies or any other lenders or insurers with respect to the financing or government support of the American Centrifuge project; and
held by the U.S. government.

The New Notes are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part, at any time, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount (including as a result of any PIK payments) of the New Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The New Notes are not subject to mandatory redemption. There is no sinking fund provided for the New Notes. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all of the New Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The Indenture contains covenants customary for securities such as the New Notes covering (i) the payment of principal and interest, (ii) maintenance of an office or agency for the payment of the notes, (iii) SEC reports, (iv) stay, extension and usury laws, (v) payment of taxes, (vi) existence, (vii) maintenance of properties and (viii) maintenance of insurance. The Indenture otherwise contains no covenants that restrict the operation of the Company or its subsidiaries, or their respective businesses other than (i) limitations on Enrichment Corp.’s ability to transfer the collateral and (ii) limitations on liens that may be imposed on the assets of Enrichment Corp., which covenants are, in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
