(d)The execution, delivery and performance by each Support Party of this Agreement and the performance of their obligations hereunder, do not and will not conflict with or require any consent or approval under any material contract or material agreement to which such Support Party is a party, other than (i) pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) those which have been obtained.
(e)    At no time was such Support Party presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television, Internet or other form of general solicitation or advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act) in connection with the offering and sale of the New Notes or Preferred Shares.

The Company further acknowledges that no Support Party is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Support Party or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Support Parties’ exchange with respect to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Company further represents to each Support Party that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.
(o)Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and acknowledged by the Company (i) that, except as is otherwise set forth in any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed between the Company and any Support Party (the “NDAs”), none of the Support Parties have been asked to agree, nor has any Support Party agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the New Notes or the Preferred Shares for any specified term, (ii) that past or future open market or other transactions by any Support Party, including short sales, and specifically including, without limitation, short sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities, (iii) that any Support Party, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Support Party is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the common stock of the Company, and (iv) that each Support Party shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (A) one or more Support Parties may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the New Notes or the Preferred Shares are outstanding, and (B) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing shareholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
5.Agreements of the Support Parties.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, so long as this Agreement has not terminated with respect to such Support Party and except as expressly released by the Company in writing from any of the following obligations:
(a)Each of the Support Parties hereby agrees (i) to validly and timely tender prior to the early tender deadline for the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation (as may be extended from time to time, the “Early Tender Deadline”), any Participating Notes acquired prior to the Early Tender Deadline, in accordance with the applicable procedures which will be set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum, and to not withdraw or revoke such tender in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation and (ii) to validly and 











timely tender prior to the deadline for the expiration for the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation (as may be extended from time to time, the “Expiration Date”), any Participating Notes acquired after the Early Tender Deadline and prior to the Expiration Date, in accordance with the applicable procedures which will be set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum, and to not withdraw or revoke such tender in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.

(c)Each Support Party agrees to work cooperatively and in good faith with the Company and its advisors to negotiate any documentation necessary to complete the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation (including the Transaction Documents).
None of the foregoing agreements of the Support Parties shall be deemed to restrict any Support Party from trading in any security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than the Outstanding Notes), or exercising its rights as a holder of any such other security under the applicable debt documents.
		
	6.
	Transfers of Participating Notes.


(a)Each Support Party agrees that, so long as this Agreement has not terminated with respect to such Support Party, it shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of its Participating Notes, or any option thereon or any right or interest (voting or otherwise) in any of its Participating Notes (including, without limitation, any participation therein), except to a party that is a Support Party; provided that any such Participating Notes shall automatically be deemed to be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and any election to exchange Participating Notes made by the Support Party transferor shall be binding upon the transferee to the extent provided in this Agreement; provided, however, that any transfer of Participating Notes may only be made to a Support Party that agrees that such Outstanding Notes will remain Participating Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Company shall be deemed to have acknowledged such transfer, and any election to exchange or not to exchange Participating Notes made by the Support Party transferor shall be binding upon the transferee.  Any transfer of Participating Notes by a Support Party that does not comply with the procedures set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed void without the need for further action.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restrictions on transfer shall not be violated as a result of Participating Notes currently being out for loan pursuant to a securities lending program so long as the Support Party recalls such Participating Notes prior to the Commencement Date.
(b)This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Support Party from acquiring additional Outstanding Notes; provided that any such additional Outstanding Notes shall automatically be deemed to be Participating Notes of such Support Party and shall be subject to all of the terms of this Agreement and any applicable related letter agreement between the Company and such Support Party.  Each Support Party agrees to notify the Company of such acquisition or disposition of any Outstanding Notes, including the aggregate principal amount acquired or disposed of, within three (3) business days of the consummation of such transaction.
7.Agreements of the Company.

Prior to the Company providing any MNPI to any Support Party, the Company and such Support Party shall agree on commercially reasonable terms for the confidentiality and disclosure of such MNPI, consistent with the prior agreements between the Company and the Support Parties relating to such matters; [and] 
(h)[to pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Legal Advisor for acting as counsel to the Support Parties in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation through the Settlement Date, which fees are due and owing upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement or (ii) the Settlement Date; provided that such fees shall not be due and owing earlier than the third business day after such fees and expenses are invoiced to the Company; provided further, that the requirement that such fees and expenses be documented shall be satisfied if the applicable Legal Advisor provides the Company with summary invoices (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be required to include individual time entries or detail); provided further, that the aggregate amount of all such fees and expenses payable under this Section 7(h), shall not exceed $[•], subject to any increases as mutually agreed by the Company and the Support Parties; and
(i)] that to the extent the Company or any of its Affiliates is or becomes a party to any agreement, including any letter agreements, (or any amendment thereto) with any holder of Outstanding Notes or such holder’s Affiliates that (x) provides for such holder’s participation (directly or indirectly) in and/or support of the Exchange Offer and (y) contains any terms more favorable to such holder than the terms hereof are 











to the Support Parties, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended without the action of any Person to incorporate such more favorable terms, and the Company shall promptly provide written notice of such amendment to the Support Parties, provided, however, this provision does not apply to any terms relating to reimbursement, if any, of legal fees of counsel.

EXHIBIT A
TERM SHEET
CENTRUS ENERGY CORP.
Term Sheet for Proposed Exchange of
8.0% PIK Toggle Notes due 2019/2024
This term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) is a general summary of the proposed terms of a potential exchange offer (“Exchange Offer”) for the exchange of up to all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount outstanding of the existing 8.0% PIK Toggle Notes due 2019/2024 (the “Existing Notes”) of Centrus Energy Corp. (the “Company”) for (i) an aggregate principal amount of up to $85 million of new 8.25% Secured Notes of the Company guaranteed on a limited secured basis (the “New Notes”), (ii) shares of new cumulative preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of up to $120 million (the “Series B Senior Preferred Stock”), and (iii) up to $30 million in cash.
This Term Sheet has been prepared for discussion purposes only. It is intended only to outline certain basic points and understandings around which these documents are to be structured. 


	
		
	Exchange Offer
	 

	Exchange Offer Ratio
	Up to all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes will be exchanged for up to $85 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes, a number of shares of Series B Senior Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $120 million and up to $30 million in cash, based upon market conditions and the current trading price of the Existing Notes at the launch of the Exchange Offer. Each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes will be exchanged for $362.36 of New Notes, shares of Series B Senior Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $509.75 and $127.89 in cash.

	Tender Offer Rules
	The Exchange Offer will be conducted in accordance with Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Among other things, the Exchange Offer must stay open at least 20 business days following commencement.















	
		
	Consent Solicitation
	In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company will solicit the consents of all holders of the Existing Notes to amend the indenture of the Existing Notes (the “Consent Solicitation”) to, among other things, amend the existing exception for transfer of cash to permit the transfer of cash and cash equivalents by the Guarantor (as defined below) for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture or from the proceeds from or otherwise relating to a Designated Senior Claim, Issuer Senior Debt or Limited Secured Acquisition Debt (each as defined below); expand the definition of “Credit Facility” upon terms customary for high yield debt securities; permit the transfer or contribution of assets other than cash or cash equivalents to joint venture entities or partners for fair value; and exempt certain asset transfers permitted under the indenture from the definition of “Change of Control,” and conform the definition of “Issuer Senior Debt” and “Designated Senior Claims” to the definitions for the New Notes (the “Indenture Amendments”). 
Holders of the Existing Notes who wish to accept the Exchange Offer must approve the Consent Solicitation. Existing Notes tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) of the Exchange Offer will constitute the delivery of a consent to the Indenture Amendments.

	Offering Documentation
	The Company will prepare a Confidential Offering and Consent Solicitation Memorandum describing the Exchange Offer, the terms of the New Notes and the Series B Senior Preferred Stock and the Consent Solicitation.

	Conditions
	The Exchange Offer will be conditioned on 
• at least 90% of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes being tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date (unless waived by holders representing a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes held by noteholders party to a support agreement) (the “Minimum Tender Percentage”);
• the issuance of Series B Senior Preferred Stock would not result in an “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as of the applicable Settlement Date; and
•(i) the execution of an indenture related to the New Notes and other necessary documents in connection with the Exchange Offer, (ii) receipt of any other necessary consents, and (iii) such other conditions as are customary in exchange offers of this type.















	
		
	Timing

Tendering holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw outstanding notes on or before 5:00 p.m. (eastern daylight savings time) January 19, 2017, unless extended by us (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”), will receive additional cash consideration equal to 0.75% of the aggregate amount tendered by the tendering holder.  Tenders of outstanding notes may be withdrawn prior to January 19, 2017, unless extended by us (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Withdrawal Deadline”).  Tenders may not be withdrawn after the Withdrawal Deadline.  The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire on February 2, 2017 (the “Expiration Date”). The Company will deliver the New Notes and the Series B Senior Preferred Stock and pay the applicable cash amounts with respect to any Existing Notes validly tendered and accepted promptly following the Expiration Date (the “Settlement Date”). For outstanding Notes that have been validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and that are accepted, the Company will have the option for settlement to occur on the “Early Settlement Date,” which is expected to be the third business day following the Early Tender Date.

“Limited Secured Acquisition Debt” means (i) any indebtedness, the proceeds of which are used to finance all or a portion of an acquisition or similar transaction if any lender’s lien is solely limited to the assets acquired in such a transaction and (ii) any indebtedness, the proceeds of which are used to finance all or a portion of the American Centrifuge Project or another next generation enrichment technology if any lender’s lien is solely limited to such assets, provided that a lien securing the New Notes that is junior with respect to the lien securing such indebtedness, will be effected for the New Notes, which will be limited to the assets acquired with such Limited Secured Acquisition Debt.

	Guarantee Security/Ranking
	The Existing Notes are, and the New Notes will be, guaranteed on a subordinated and limited basis by, and secured by substantially all assets of the Guarantor on the terms set forth below. 
The Guarantor guarantee for the Existing Notes (the “Existing Notes Guarantee”) is, and the Guarantor guarantee for the New Notes (the “New Notes Guarantee”) will be, (i) equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantor (other than Designated Senior Claims as defined below and Limited Secured Acquisition Debt), (ii) senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Guarantor and Limited Secured Acquisition Debt, and (iii) subordinated in right of payment to Designated Senior Claims.

	Termination of Guarantee
	The New Notes Guarantee will be terminable upon the same events as the Existing Notes Guarantee except the New Notes Guarantee will not be released upon an involuntary termination by PBGC of any of the qualified pension plans of the Company or Guarantor or an ACP Termination (as defined in the indenture of the Existing Notes).

	Guarantee Lien
	The lien securing the Guarantor guarantees of the Existing Notes and the New Notes shall be pari passu with each other, and shall be junior in priority with respect to the lien securing Limited Secured Acquisition Debt, which will be limited to the assets acquired with such Limited Secured Acquisition Debt. 

	Covenants
	Substantially identical to the covenants for the Existing Notes, except as set forth in “Other Terms” below.

In addition, the Company may use cash to acquire Equity Interests when the Person acquired has existing Finance Debt, or a Person acquired pursuant to the previous sentence can incur new Finance Debt, as long as either of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the Finance Debt of the Person acquired is junior to the New Notes and the New Notes have a senior lien on Finance Debt’s collateral; or (b) the enterprise (defined as the Company and the Guarantor) has balance sheet cash, together with balance sheet cash of any other enterprise subsidiary on which the New Notes have a senior lien, of at least the amount of the outstanding New Notes immediately after consummation of the acquisition or incurrence of the Finance Debt, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this restriction shall not apply to transfers of cash or cash equivalents that are proceeds from or otherwise relating to a Designated Senior Claim, Issuer Senior Debt or Limited Secured Acquisition Debt. These restrictions may be waived or removed by consent of at least 40% of the holders of the New Notes.
