credit issued by a Qualified Institution substantially in the form of Exhibit A,
or another letter of credit issued by a Qualified Institution otherwise in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Exelon (the “Letter of Credit”) with a
face amount of two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000), as such amount may be
reduced from time to time in accordance with Section 2.2.  If the Expiration
Date is a date prior to Substantial Completion, Zion Solutions’ Parent or
Guarantor shall, not less than ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date,
either (i) cause the issuer of the Letter of Credit to extend the Letter of
Credit to expire on a date at least one year subsequent to the then current
Expiration Date or (ii) obtain and deliver to Exelon a legally binding
commitment of a Qualified Institution, in customary form and reasonably
satisfactory to Exelon, to issue a replacement Letter of Credit with a stated
Expiration Date at least one year subsequent to the stated Expiration Date of
the Letter of Credit to be replaced for delivery to Exelon not less than ten
(10) days prior to the stated Expiration Date of the Letter of Credit to be
replaced.  If Zion Solutions’ Parent or Guarantor obtains and delivers to Exelon
a commitment for issuance of a replacement Letter of Credit pursuant to the
preceding clause (ii), Zion Solutions’ Parent or Guarantor shall deliver a
replacement Letter of Credit to Exelon not less than ten (10) days prior to the
stated Expiration Date of the Letter of Credit to be replaced.  Upon Exelon’s
acceptance of a replacement Letter of Credit in exchange for the then existing
Letter of Credit, the replacement Letter of Credit shall be deemed the Letter of
Credit for all purposes hereunder.

 

2.1.2.                  Zion Solutions’ Parent or Guarantor shall obtain a
replacement Letter of Credit issued by a Qualified Institution within ninety
(90) days following the occurrence of any credit rating downgrade or other event
which causes the issuer of any existing Letter of Credit not to be a Qualified
Institution.  Upon Exelon’s acceptance of the replacement Letter of Credit in
exchange for the then existing Letter of Credit, the replacement Letter of
Credit shall be deemed the Letter of Credit for all purposes hereunder.

 

2.1.3.                  Immediately upon Substantial Completion, Exelon shall
return the Letter of Credit to Zion Solutions’ Parent for cancellation (together
with such consents to termination of letter of credit as Zion Solutions’ Parent
may reasonably request).

 

2.2.                            Reduction of Amount of Letter of Credit.

 

Upon achievement of the Site Restoration Milestones, the amount of the Letter
Credit shall be reduced upon the reasonable request of Zion Solutions’ Parent,
and Exelon shall, promptly following the written request of Zion Solutions’
Parent, execute and deliver any consent to reduction of the Letter Credit as may
be reasonably requested by Zion Solutions’ Parent so that (i) after giving
effect to such reduction, the sum of the face amount of the Letter of Credit and
the remaining funds in the Buyer QDF and the Buyer NDF are equal to or greater
than 200% of the remaining costs necessary to achieve the End-State Conditions,
based upon an assessment of such remaining costs and the funds available
provided by Zion Solutions and Zion Solutions Parent and agreed to by Exelon,
such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld; and (ii) the amount of funds in
the Buyer QDF and the Buyer NDF shall equal at least 100% of such

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

remaining costs as a condition to any reduction in the face amount of the Letter
of Credit.  No such reduction in the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be
requested or be effective at a time when (a) a Material Letter of Credit Default
has occurred and has not been cured, (b) a Default Notice has been given by
Exelon and the existence of a Material Letter of Credit Default is the subject
of arbitration pursuant to Article 7, or (c) Exelon is otherwise authorized to
initiate a draw of the Letter of Credit.

 

3.                                      MATERIAL LETTER OF CREDIT DEFAULTS.

 

3.1.                            Notice of Default.

 

If any of the conditions or events described in this Section 3.1 (collectively,
the “Material Letter of Credit Defaults”) shall occur and be continuing:

 

3.1.1.                  (i) Zion Solutions’ Parent or Guarantor shall have
failed to obtain an extension of the Letter of Credit or a commitment from a
Qualified Institution to issue a replacement Letter of Credit as and when
required under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.1.1; or (ii) Zion Solutions’
Parent or Guarantor shall have failed to obtain a replacement Letter of Credit
as and when required under Section 2.1.1 or 2.1.2;

 

3.1.2.                  the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to
Zion Solutions’ Parent, Guarantor or Zion Solutions;

 

3.1.3.                  Zion Solutions (i) permanently ceases all, or
substantially all, material Decommissioning work at the Zion Station Site, or
(ii) suspends such work for a period in excess of three hundred sixty five (365)
days, in either case without either Exelon’s consent or approval or the
occurrence of an event of Force Majeure or Schedule Extension Condition.  For
the avoidance of doubt, cessation or suspension of material Decommissioning work
may occur despite the continuation of maintenance, monitoring or similar work
required to preserve or maintain the Zion Station Site;

 

3.1.4.                  Zion Solutions’ Parent fails to make any payment when
due under the Performance Guaranty (other than payments of Base Rent or Delay
Rent under the Lease Agreement) or Guarantor fails to make any payment when due

3.1.5.                  Zion Solutions fails to use diligent efforts to perform
its Decommissioning obligations on a schedule calculated to achieve Substantial
Completion on or before the Target Completion Date in accordance with
Section 6.4 of the Lease Agreement,

 

Exelon may provide written notice thereof (a “Default Notice”) to Zion
Solutions’ Parent and Zion Solutions.  No Default Notice shall be effective
unless it references this Agreement, describes the Material Letter of Credit
Default and states that such notice is a “Default Notice.”  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if as a result of the exercise of remedies under the

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Pledge Agreement, Exelon controls Zion Solutions by reason of the ownership of a
controlling equity interest in Zion Solutions or the appointment of a majority
of the members of the board of directors or board of managers of Zion Solutions,
the events or conditions described in Sections 3.1.3 and 3.1.5 shall not
constitute a Material Letter of Credit Default unless the events or conditions
described in Section 3.1.3  or 3.1.5  shall occur or exist by reason of the
failure or delay of Energy Solutions’ Parent or any of its Affiliates (other
than Zion Solutions) in the provision of waste disposal services and facilities
pursuant to the Disposal Capacity Asset or services and facilities for disposal
of Class B and C Low Level Waste that had been provided or had been made
available to Zion Solutions at any time before or after the date on which Exelon
acquired such control.

 

3.2.                            Cure of Material Letter of Credit Defaults.

 

3.2.1.                  Zion Solutions shall have sixty (60) days following
receipt of a Default Notice to cure any Material Letter of Credit Default
described in Section 3.1.3 or 3.1.5.

 

3.2.2.                  Upon receipt of any such Default Notice, Zion Solutions
shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days, inform Exelon in writing
(i) if it disputes the existence of any Material Letter of Credit Default
described in Section 3.1.3 or 3.1.5 and the basis for such dispute, and such
dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 7 and (ii) the action that
Zion Solutions has taken or proposes to take with respect to the Material Letter
of Credit Default described therein.

 

3.2.3.                  In the event Zion Solutions elects to cure any Material
Letter of Credit Default in accordance with Section 3.2.1, Zion Solutions shall
promptly notify Exelon in writing once such Material Letter of Credit Default
has been cured.  Exelon shall promptly notify Zion Solutions in writing if it
disputes that such Material Letter of Credit Default has been cured, and such
dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 7.

 

4.                                      LETTER OF CREDIT DRAWS.

 

4.1.                            Exelon Letter of Credit Draws.  Exelon shall be
entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit:

 

4.1.1.                  if a Material Letter of Credit Default described in
Section 3.1.1 occurs;

 

4.1.2.                  during the continuance of a Material Letter of Credit
Default described in Section 3.1.2 or 3.1.4, immediately after providing a
Default Notice to Zion Solutions’ Parent and Zion Solutions; or

 

4.1.3.                  during the continuance of a Material Letter of Credit
Default described in Section 3.1.3 or 3.1.5 of this Agreement, after the
expiration of the sixty (60) day cure period described in Section 3.2 with
respect to such Material Letter of Credit Default; provided that, to the extent
that there is a dispute among the Parties as to

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

whether a Material Letter of Credit Default described in Section 3.1.3 or 3.1.5
has occurred or is continuing upon the expiration of such sixty (60) day cure
period, Exelon may not draw on the Letter of Credit until such dispute has been
resolved in accordance with Article 7.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exelon
may draw on the Letter of Credit while an arbitration under Article 7 is pending
if the Letter of Credit shall expire within thirty (30) days and has not been
replaced in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, provided
that (a) Zion Solutions shall not withdraw funds from the Backup NDT while an
arbitration is pending under Article 7 and (b) if the arbitrators acting
pursuant to Article 7 later determine that no Material Letter of Credit Default
occurred, and if no other Material Letter of Credit Default has occurred and
there is no arbitration pending concerning any other alleged Material Letter of
Credit Default , Zion Solutions may withdraw the proceeds of such drawing from
the Buyer Backup NDT and remit such proceeds to Zion Solutions’ Parent upon
delivery of a substitute Letter of Credit to Exelon in the amount of such
withdrawal.

 

4.2.                            Use of Proceeds of Letter of Credit Draws.

 

All amounts drawn from the Letter of Credit shall be deposited directly with the
Buyer Backup NDT, to be held by the Buyer Backup NDT and disbursed by the Buyer
Backup NDT to pay Decommissioning costs incurred by Zion Solutions solely to the
extent such costs can not be reimbursed by the Buyer NDF or the Buyer QDF. 
Exelon has no rights of ownership or other rights to any amounts drawn from the
Letter of Credit.

 

5.                                      TERM OF AGREEMENT

7.                                      ARBITRATION.

 

Any controversy or dispute described in Section 3.2.2 will be submitted to and
settled by binding and conclusive arbitration in Chicago, Illinois before a
panel of three (3) arbitrators familiar with the nuclear power industry and
selected as provided in this Article 7 and conducted in accordance with the
commercial arbitration rules and expedited procedures of the Association (or any
other form of arbitration agreed to by Zion Solutions and Exelon) then in
effect.  Zion Solutions and Exelon shall each have the right to designate an
arbitrator of its choice who shall not have been previously an employee or agent
of or consultant or counsel to either Zion Solutions or Exelon or their
respective Affiliates and shall not have any direct or indirect interest in Zion
Solutions or Exelon or their respective Affiliates or the subject matter of the
arbitration.  Such designation shall be made by notice to the other party and to
the Association within ten (10) days after either party gives notice of the
demand for arbitration.  The two arbitrators designated by the parties shall,
within ten (10) days after the designation of the last of the two arbitrators to
be designated by the parties, designate a third arbitrator who shall act as
chairman of the panel of three arbitrators who shall hear and make a decision
with respect to the dispute submitted to such arbitration.  If the arbitrators
designated by Zion Solutions and Exelon cannot or do not select a third
arbitrator within such ten (10) day period, either Zion Solutions or Exelon may
apply to the Association for the purpose of appointing any person listed with
the Association and familiar with the nuclear power industry as the third
independent arbitrator under the expedited rules of the Association.  The
rules of the Association shall apply to the arbitration to the extent not
inconsistent with the requirements of this Article 7.  Unless

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

otherwise agreed between Zion Solutions and Exelon or as may otherwise
determined by the arbitrators upon application of Zion Solutions or Exelon, the
arbitrators shall hold a one-day hearing on the dispute within thirty (30) days
after appointment of the third arbitrator.  At such hearing, Zion Solutions and
Exelon each shall be allowed a period of four hours to present its case and
closing and rebuttal arguments to the arbitrators, unless otherwise mutually
agreed between Zion Solutions and Exelon.  The arbitrators shall render their
decision in writing within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the hearing
solely on the basis of the documents, testimony and arguments presented at the
hearing.  Not less than ten (10) days prior to the hearing, Zion Solutions and
Exelon shall exchange briefs and documents to be submitted into evidence at the
hearing.  Zion Solutions and Exelon shall also provide each other reasonable
access to their files and records and the files and records of their respective
Affiliates, to the extent those files and records are relevant to the dispute,
at all times prior to the arbitration hearing.  No findings of fact or
conclusions of law will be required in such decision.  Judgment on any award
rendered pursuant to any such arbitration proceeding may be entered in any
court, federal or state, having jurisdiction thereof, and the Parties will be
deemed to have waived their right to any form of appeal of such award to the
extent permitted by law.  Each of Zion Solutions and Exelon shall bear its own
expenses with respect to the arbitration; provided that the arbitrators, upon
application of Zion Solutions or Exelon, may assess costs and expenses against
either Zion Solutions or Exelon if the arbitrators shall deem such assessment
just and equitable.
