Enclosures: Exhibit A: Employee Restricted Stock Award Agreement




USEC Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan



EXHIBIT A

EMPLOYEE RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

(Long Term Incentive Program)




USEC Inc. (the “Company”) has granted to the Grantee an Award consisting of Restricted
Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Restricted Stock Award
Notice (the “Award Notice”). The Award has been granted to the Grantee pursuant to the USEC Inc.
2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Unless otherwise defined
herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Award Notice or the
Plan.



1. Vesting of Award. The Award of Restricted Shares will become vested only under the
schedule stated in the Award Notice, except as provided in Section 5.



2. Grant of the Award. This Award of Shares of Restricted Stock (the “Restricted Shares”),
is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan as provided in the
Award Notice. Subject to Section 3, the Grantee will be reflected as the owner of record of the
Restricted Shares as of the Grant Date on the Company’s books and records. The Company will hold
the Share certificates for safekeeping, or otherwise retain the Restricted Shares in uncertificated
book entry form, until the Restricted Shares become vested and nonforfeitable. Certificates
issued, if any, with respect to Restricted Shares shall be held by the Company in escrow under the
terms hereof and shall bear the legend set forth in Section 3 below or such other appropriate
legend as the Committee shall determine, which legend shall be removed only if and when the
Restricted Shares vest as provided herein, at which time the certificates shall be delivered to the
Grantee. Upon the grant of the Restricted Shares, the Grantee shall be entitled to vote the
Restricted Shares, and shall be entitled to receive, free of all restrictions, ordinary cash
dividends and dividends in the form of Shares thereon. The Grantee’s right to receive any
extraordinary dividends or other distributions with respect to Restricted Shares prior to their
becoming nonforfeitable shall be at the sole discretion of the Committee, but in the event of any
such extraordinary event, the Committee shall take such action as is appropriate to preserve the
value of, or prevent the unintended enhancement of the value of, the Restricted Shares.



3. Legend. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any certificate issued in respect
of the Restricted Shares prior to the lapse of any outstanding restrictions relating thereto shall
bear the following legend:



“This certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are
subject to the terms and conditions, including the forfeiture
provisions and restrictions against transfer (the “Restrictions”),
contained in the USEC Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and the
Company (the “Agreement”). Any attempt to dispose of these shares
in contravention of the applicable restrictions, including by way of
sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or otherwise,
shall be null and void and without effect.”



4. Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Section 5, in the event that the
Grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated for Cause or the Grantee voluntarily terminates
employment prior to the Vesting Date other than by Retirement, all Restricted Shares held by the
Grantee as of the date of such termination shall be canceled and forfeited for no consideration on
the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment.



5. Acceleration Events. (a) If the Grantee’s service terminates by reason of the death or
Disability of the Grantee, the unvested portion of the Restricted Shares shall become vested and
nonforfeitable.



(b) If the Grantee’s service is involuntarily terminated by the Company for reasons other than for
Cause, the unvested portion of the Restricted Shares shall become vested and nonforfeitable.



(c) If the Grantee’s service is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by
the Grantee for good reason, in either case coincident with or following a Change in Control under
circumstances entitling the Grantee to benefits or payments under such Grantee’s change in control
agreement with the Company that would not otherwise be payable absent a Change in Control (or, in
the case of a Grantee who is not a party to a change in control agreement with the Company, upon a
termination of employment by the Company other than for Cause or by the Grantee for good reason
coincident with or following a Change in Control), the unvested portion of the Restricted Shares
shall become vested and nonforfeitable.



(d) In the event that the Grantee becomes eligible for a termination of employment to be a
Retirement, the unvested portion of the Restricted Shares shall become vested and nonforfeitable.



6. Nontransferability. The Restricted Shares are not nontransferable and may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, disposed of, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Grantee, other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution until such Restricted Shares become nonforfeitable in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Grantee’s successor (a “Successor”) shall
take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof. No transfer of the
Restricted Shares to any Successor shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall
have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may
deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by such Successor of
the terms and conditions hereof.



7. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer on
the Grantee any right to continued employment with the Company.



8. Withholding. The Grantee shall pay to the Company promptly upon request, and in any
event at the time the Grantee recognizes taxable income in respect of the Restricted Shares, an
amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax
laws with respect to the Restricted Shares. Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, Shares
already owned or otherwise deliverable upon the lapse of restrictions, or in a combination of such
methods, as irrevocably elected by the Grantee prior to the applicable tax due date with respect to
such Restricted Shares. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from
the Shares deliverable to a Grantee, or to accept from the Grantee the tender of, a number of whole
Shares having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the
tax withholding obligations of the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to release Shares
from an escrow or from restrictions or to make any payment in cash under the Plan until the
Company’s tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Grantee. The Grantee shall
promptly notify the Company of any election made pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code.



9. Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. The Grantee and the Company agree that
certain materials, including, but not limited to, information, data and other materials relating to
customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities,
promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes, financing methods, plans or the
business and affairs of the Company and its Affiliates, constitute proprietary confidential
information and trade secrets. Accordingly, the Grantee will not at any time during or after the
Grantee’s employment with the Company or thereafter for as long as it remains proprietary or
confidential, disclose or use for the Grantee’s own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes
of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business
organization, entity or enterprise other than the Company and any of its Affiliates, any
proprietary confidential information or trade secrets, provided, that the foregoing shall not apply
to information which is not unique to the Company or any of its Affiliates or which is generally
known to the industry or the public other than as a result of the Grantee’s breach of this
covenant. The Grantee agrees that upon termination of employment with the Company for any reason,
the Grantee will immediately return to the Company all memoranda, books, papers, plans,
information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, which in any way relate
to the business of the Company and its Affiliates, except that the Grantee may retain personal
notes, notebooks and diaries. The Grantee further agrees that the Grantee will not retain or use
for the Grantee’s account at any time any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business
designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates.



10. Remedies. The Grantee acknowledges that a violation or attempted violation on the
Grantee’s part of Section 9 will cause irreparable damage to the Company, and the Grantee therefore
agrees that the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction, issued by any
court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further violation of such promises by
the Grantee or the Grantee’s employees, partners or agents. The Grantee agrees that such right to
an injunction is cumulative and in addition to whatever other remedies the Company may have under
law or equity.



11. Failure to Enforce Not A Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any
provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any
other provision hereof.



12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.



13. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by an instrument in
writing signed by the parties hereto. The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and
without the consent of the Grantee, amend this Agreement, to take effect retroactively or
otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of (a) conforming this Agreement to
any law, regulation or rule applicable to this Agreement, or (b) waiving any conditions or rights
under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, this Agreement;
provided, that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or
termination that would materially adversely affect the rights of the Grantee, holder or beneficiary
shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Grantee, holder or
beneficiary. 



14. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document given under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be addressed and delivered, in the case of the Company, to the
Secretary of the Company at the principal office of the Company and, in the case of the Grantee, to
the Grantee’s address as shown in the records of the Company or to such other address as may be
designated in writing by either party.



15. Award Subject to Plan. This Award is subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of
the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In
the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of
the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern. 



16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be an original but all of which together shall represent one and the same agreement.
