with the SERP.

successor Chief Financial Officer such assistance as the Company reasonably requests to facilitate an effective and efficient transition of your duties to your successor, the Company agrees, which
agreement has been authorized by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, that all options and restricted stock awards granted to you at any time, notwithstanding any
provisions thereof to the contrary, shall (i) vest and become exercisable effective as of the dates such options and restricted stock awards would have vested according to their terms, and

	7.
	Noncompete; Nondisclosure; Nonsolicitation; Nondisparagement. You acknowledge and agree that nothing in this
letter agreement shall modify your obligations under Sections 8 and 9 of the Agreement.

	8.
	General Release. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(a) of the Agreement, you agree that in
consideration of the payments and benefits described herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which you hereby acknowledge, on your own behalf, and on behalf of your heirs and assigns, and all persons
claiming under you, that effective as of the Termination Date you hereby fully and forever unconditionally release and discharge
EnergySolutions, Inc., all of its affiliated and related corporations and companies, their predecessors, successors and assigns, together with
their 

 

divisions
and departments, and all past or present officers, directors, employees, insurers and agents of any of them (hereinafter referred to collectively as "Releasees"), of and from, and you
covenant not to sue or assert against Releasees, for any purpose, all claims, administrative complaints, demands, actions and causes of action, of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether at law or
in equity, and both negligent and intentional, arising from or in any way related to your employment by the Company, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission occurring on or before the date
of this general release, without regard to your present actual knowledge of the act or omission, which you may now have, or which you, or any person acting on your behalf may at any future time have
or claim to have, including specifically, but not by way of limitation, matters which may arise at common law or under federal, state or local laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, the National Labor Relations Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Protection Act, the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the Equal Pay Act. You warrant that you have not assigned or transferred any right or claim described in this general release. You

on any information provided to you by Releasees or upon Releasees to provide information not known to you.  

The
Company also hereby releases you from any claims that it has or may have against you, if these claims arise out of actions which were taken by you in good faith and in the manner that you
reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company, and in the case of a criminal proceeding, that you had no reasonable cause to believe that your conduct was unlawful. If the Company
brings litigation or arbitration against you for any matter which you are not hereby released, you shall be entitled to recover from the Company your attorney fees and costs if you are the prevailing
party. In the event you are named as a defendant in any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding involving the Company where you are required to defend yourself with respect to events which relate
to or occurred
during your employment with the Company, the Company shall be responsible for providing a defense to, and indemnify you to the same extent and under the same conditions as if you were still an officer
of the Company. Also if you have to bring an action, litigation, arbitration or proceeding to enforce this agreement, then you shall be entitled to all reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred if
you are the prevailing party in the matter.  

	9.
	Waiver of Review Period. You acknowledge that you execute this letter agreement voluntarily, without coercion
or duress, intending to be legally bound. You further acknowledge that the Company provided you with a copy of this letter agreement for your review and consideration on November 10, 2009, and
advised you that you have twenty-one (21) days in which to consider and review this letter agreement prior to signing it, and that you have knowingly waived that
twenty-one (21) day review period prior to your execution of this letter agreement. You further acknowledge that for a period of seven (7) days following the execution of

received by the Company (7) days following your execution of this letter agreement. You agree that if you exercise your revocation right, the respective rights and obligations of the parties to
this agreement will be automatically void and you will immediately pay to the Company, upon demand, any and all payments made by the Company to you under this letter agreement.

	Remedies. In addition to any other legal or equitable remedies the Company may have, all unpaid payments and
benefits described in this agreement shall be immediately canceled, terminated and forfeited in their entirety in the event you violate any of the provisions hereof.
