(b) Interest on each Advance shall be computed on the basis of (1) actual days elapsed from (but not including) the date on which the respective Advance is made (for the first payment of interest due under this Note for the respective Advance) or the date on which the payment of interest was last due (for all other payments of interest due under this Note for the respective Advance), to (and including) the date on which payment is next due, and (2) a year of 365 days.  

(c) The interest rate applicable to each Advance shall be established by FFB at the time that the respective Advance is made on the basis of the determination made by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to section 6(b) (12 U.S.C. § 2285(b)) of the Federal Financing Bank Act of 1973 (Pub.

Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of each Advance shall be due and payable on each of the particular dates specified on page 1 of this Note as "Payment Dates" (each such date being a "Payment Date"), beginning on the first Payment Date to occur after the date on which such Advance is made, up through and including the Final Maturity Date of such Advance.  

8.    Payment of Principal.

(a) The principal amount of each Advance shall be payable in installments, which payments shall be due beginning on the 

(qtr pymnts; no cap int; mstr pymnt sched)                                                                     NOTE - page 4

particular date specified as the "First Principal Payment Date" on page 1 of this Note (such date being the "First Principal Payment Date"), and shall be due on each Payment Date to occur thereafter until the principal of the respective Advance is repaid in full on or before the Final Maturity Date.

(b) Except as provided in subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 8, with respect to each Advance, the amount of principal due on the First Principal Payment Date, on each Payment Date to occur thereafter, and on the Final Maturity Date shall be, in each case, an installment that is equal to the product of: 

(1) the outstanding principal amount of the respective Advance, determined as of the day immediately preceding the First Principal Payment Date;  

times

(2) the particular percentage specified for the respective date on the payment schedule attached as Schedule A to this Note, 

and shall be sufficient, when added to all other such installments of principal to repay the principal amount of the respective Advance in full on the Final Maturity Date.

 (c) In the event that an Advance is made after the First Principal Payment Date, the amount of principal due with respect to such Advance on the first Payment Date to occur after the date on which Advance is made shall be an amount that is equal to the product of: 

(1) the principal amount of the Advance on the day the Advance is made;

	DOE (Title XVII)

and shall be sufficient, when added to all other such installments of principal to repay the principal amount of the respective Advance in full on the Final Maturity Date.

9.    Business Days.

(a) Whenever any Payment Date, the Maturity Date for any Advance, or the Final Maturity Date shall fall on a day on which either FFB or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is not open for business, the payment which would otherwise be due on such Payment Date, Maturity Date, or the Final Maturity Date shall be due on the first day thereafter on which FFB and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York are both open for business (any such day being a "Business Day").  

(b) In the case of a Payment Date falling on a day other than a Business Day, the extension of time for making the payment that would otherwise be due on such Payment Date shall (1) be taken into account in establishing the interest rate for each Advance, and (2) be included in computing interest due in connection with such payment and excluded in computing interest due in connection with the next payment.  

(c) In the case of the Maturity Date for any Advance or the Final Maturity Date falling on a day other than a Business Day, the extension of time for making the payment that would otherwise be due on such Maturity Date or the Final Maturity Date shall (1) be taken into account in establishing the interest rate for each Advance, and (2) be included in computing interest due in connection with such payment.

provided, however, that a payment made in the manner described above shall not discharge any portion of a payment obligation under this Note, or be applied as provided in paragraph 13 of this Note, until the payment has been received and credited to the subaccount of FFB (within the account of the United States Treasury maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York)  specified by FFB in a written notice to the Secretary, or to such other account as may be specified from time to time by FFB in a written notice to the Secretary.

11.    Late Payments.

(a) In the event that any payment of any amount owing under this Note is not made when and as due (any such amount being then an "Overdue Amount"), then the amount payable shall be such Overdue Amount plus interest thereon (such interest being the "Late Charge") computed in accordance with this subparagraph (a):  

(1) The Late Charge shall accrue from the scheduled date of payment for the Overdue Amount (taking into account paragraph 9 of this Note) to the date on which payment is made.  

(2) The Late Charge shall be computed on the basis of (A) actual days elapsed from (but not including) the scheduled date of payment for such Overdue Amount (taking into account paragraph 9 of this Note) to (and including) the date on which payment is made, and (B) a year of 365 days.  

(3) The Late Charge shall accrue at a rate (the "Late Charge Rate") equal to one and one-half times the rate to be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury taking into consideration the prevailing market yield on the remaining maturity of the most recently auctioned 13-week United States Treasury bills.

(qtr pymnts; no cap int; mstr pymnt sched)                                                                     NOTE - page 7

(4) The initial Late Charge Rate shall be in effect until the earlier to occur of either (A) the date on which payment of the Overdue Amount and the amount of the accrued Late Charge is made, or (B) the first Payment Date to occur after the scheduled date of payment for such Overdue Amount.  In the event that the Overdue Amount and the amount of the accrued Late Charge are not paid on or before the such Payment Date, then the amount payable shall be the sum of the Overdue Amount and the amount of the accrued Late Charge, plus a Late Charge on such sum accruing at a new Late Charge Rate to be then determined in accordance with the principles of clause (3) of this subparagraph (a).  For so long as any Overdue Amount remains unpaid, the Late Charge Rate shall be redetermined in accordance with the principles of clause (3) of this subparagraph (a) on each Payment Date to occur thereafter, and shall be applied to the Overdue Amount and all amounts of the accrued Late Charge to the date on which payment of the Overdue Amount and all amounts of the accrued Late Charge is made.

(b) Nothing in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 11 shall be construed as permitting or implying that the Borrower may, without the written consent of the Holder, modify, extend, alter or affect in any manner whatsoever (except as explicitly provided herein) the right of the Holder to receive any and all payments on account of this Note on the dates specified in this Note. 

12.    Final Due Date.

Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all amounts outstanding under this Note remaining unpaid as of the Final Maturity Date shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

13.    Application of Payments.

Each payment made on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of Late Charges (if any) payable under paragraphs 11 and 16 of this Note, then to the payment of premiums (if any) payable under paragraphs 15 of this Note, then to the payment of accrued interest, and then on account of outstanding principal.

(qtr pymnts; no cap int; mstr pymnt sched)                                                                     NOTE - page 8

14.    Maturity Extensions.

(a) With respect to each Advance for which the Borrower has selected a Maturity Date that will occur before the Final Maturity Date (each such Maturity Date being an "Interim Maturity Date"), the Borrower may, effective as of such Interim Maturity Date, elect to extend the maturity of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the respective Advance (subject to subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 14) to a new Maturity Date to be selected by the Borrower in the manner and subject to the limitations specified in this subparagraph (a) (each such election being a "Maturity Extension Election"; each such elective extension of the maturity of any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date being a "Maturity Extension"; and the Interim Maturity Date that is in effect for an Advance immediately before any such elective Maturity Extension being, from and after such Maturity Extension, the "Maturity Extension Effective Date").  

(1) Except under the circumstances described in clause (3) of this subparagraph (a), the Borrower shall deliver to FFB (with a copy to the Secretary) written notification of each Maturity Extension Election, in the form of notification attached to this Note as Annex A-1 (each such notification being a "Maturity Extension Election Notice"), making reference to the "Advance Identifier" (as that term is defined in the Agreement) that FFB assigned to such Advance (as provided in the Agreement) and specifying, among other things, the following: 

(A) the amount of the outstanding principal of the such Advance with respect to which the Borrower elects to extend the maturity (subject to subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 14); and

(B) the new Maturity Date that the Borrower selects to be in effect for such principal amount after the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date, which date: 

(i) may be either a new Interim Maturity Date or the Final Maturity Date; and

(ii) in the event that the Borrower selects a new Interim Maturity Date as the new Maturity Date for any Advance, must meet the criteria for 

(qtr pymnts; no cap int; mstr pymnt sched)                                                                     NOTE - page 9

	
		
	DOE (Title XVII)
	GEORGIA POWER COMPANY 

Maturity Dates prescribed in paragraph 5 of this Note (provided, however, that, for purposes of selecting a new Maturity Date in connection with a Maturity Extension Election, the reference to "the Requested Advance Date for the respective Advance" in subparagraph (c) of paragraph 5 of this Note shall be deemed to be a reference to "the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date").

(2) To be effective, a Maturity Extension Election Notice must be received by FFB on or before the third Business Day before the Interim Maturity Date in effect for the respective Advance immediately before such Maturity Extension. 

(3) In the event that either of the circumstances described in subclause (A) or (B) of the next sentence occurs, then a Maturity Extension Election Notice (in the form of notice attached to this Note as Annex A-2), to be effective, must first be delivered to the Secretary for approval and be approved by the Secretary in writing, and such Maturity Extension Election Notice, together with written notification of the Secretary's approval thereof, must be received by FFB on or before the third Business Day before the Interim Maturity Date in effect for the respective Advance immediately before such Maturity Extension.  The Secretary’s approval of a Maturity Extension Election Notice will be required under either of the following circumstances:

(A) (i) any payment of any amount owing under this Note is not made by the Borrower when and as due, (ii) payment is made by the Secretary in accordance with the guarantee set forth at the end of this Note, and (iii) the Secretary delivers notice to both the Borrower and FFB advising each of them that each Maturity Extension Election Notice delivered by the Borrower after the date of such notice shall require the approval of the Secretary; or

(B) FFB at any time delivers notice to both the Borrower and the Secretary advising each of them that each Maturity Extension Election Notice delivered by the Borrower after the date of such notice shall require the approval of the Secretary.

(qtr pymnts; no cap int; mstr pymnt sched)                                                                     NOTE - page 10

	
		
	DOE (Title XVII)

(b) With respect to any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date, in the event that FFB does not receive a Maturity Extension Election Notice (and, if required under clause (3) of subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 14, written notification of the Secretary's approval thereof) on or before the third Business Day before such Interim Maturity Date, then the maturity of such Advance shall be extended automatically in the manner and subject to the limitations specified in this subparagraph (b) (each such automatic extension of the maturity of any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date also being a "Maturity Extension"; and the Interim Maturity Date that is in effect for an Advance immediately before any such automatic Maturity Extension also being, from and after such Maturity Extension, the "Maturity Extension Effective Date").

(1) The new Maturity Date for such Advance shall be the immediately following quarterly Payment Date.

(2) If the Interim Maturity Date that is in effect for such Advance immediately before such automatic Maturity Extension is: 

(A) a Payment Date that occurs before the First Principal Payment Date, then the amount of principal that will have its maturity extended automatically shall be the entire outstanding principal amount of such Advance; and

(B) either the First Principal Payment Date or a Payment Date that occurs after the First Principal Payment Date (such Advance being an "Amortizing Advance"), then the amount of principal that will have its maturity extended automatically shall be the outstanding principal amount of such Advance less the principal installment that is due on the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date (as provided in subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 14).

(c) In the event that the maturity of any Amortizing Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date is extended under either subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph 14, then the principal installment that is due on the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date, in accordance with the principal repayment schedule that applied to such Amortizing Advance immediately before such Maturity Extension Effective Date, shall 

(qtr pymnts; no cap int; mstr pymnt sched)                                                                     NOTE - page 11

	
		
	DOE (Title XVII)

nevertheless be due and payable on such Maturity Extension Effective Date notwithstanding such Maturity Extension.

(d) In the event that the maturity of any Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date is extended under either subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph 14, then the interest rate for such Advance, from and after the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date, shall be the particular rate that is established by FFB, as of such Maturity Extension Effective Date, in accordance with the principles of subparagraph (c) of paragraph 6 of this Note.

(e) In the event that the maturity of any Amortizing Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date is extended under either subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph 14, then the amount of the quarterly principal installments that will be due after the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date shall be equal to the amount of the quarterly installments of principal that were due in accordance with the principal repayment schedule that applied to such Amortizing Advance immediately before such Maturity Extension Effective Date.

(f)  In the event that the maturity of any Amortizing Advance that has an Interim Maturity Date is extended under either subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph 14, then for each such Amortizing Advance, the quarterly installments of principal shall be due beginning on the first Payment Date to occur after the respective Maturity Extension Effective Date, and shall be due on each Payment Date to occur thereafter up through and including the earlier to occur of either (A) the new Maturity Date for such extended Amortizing Advance, on which date the entire unpaid principal amount of such extended Amortizing Advance shall also be payable, subject to further Maturity Extensions if the new Maturity Date is an Interim Maturity Date, or (B) the date on which the entire principal amount of such extended Amortizing Advance, and all unpaid interest (and Late Charges, if any) accrued thereon, are paid.

(g) The maturity of each Advance may be extended more than once as provided in this paragraph 14, but upon the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date, no further Maturity Extensions may occur.

(qtr pymnts; no cap int; mstr pymnt sched)                                                                     NOTE - page 13

	
		
	DOE (Title XVII)
	GEORGIA POWER COMPANY 

(1) in the event that the Borrower elects to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of any Advance, then the Borrower shall pay to the Holder a Prepayment Price for such Advance equal to the sum of:

(A) the price for such Advance that would, if such Advance (including all unpaid interest accrued thereon through the Intended Prepayment Date) were purchased by a third party and held to the Maturity Date of such Advance, produce a yield to the third-party purchaser for the period from the date of purchase to the Maturity Date of such Advance substantially equal to the interest rate that would be set on a loan from the Secretary of the Treasury to FFB to purchase an obligation having a payment schedule identical to the payment schedule of such Advance for the period from the Intended Prepayment Date to the Maturity Date of such Advance; and

(B) all unpaid Late Charges (if any) accrued on such Advance through the Intended Prepayment Date; 

(2) in the event that the Borrower elects to prepay a Portion of any Advance, then the Borrower shall pay to the Holder a Prepayment Price for such Portion that would equal such Portion's pro rata share of the Prepayment Price that would be required for a prepayment of the entire principal amount of such Advance (determined in accordance with the principles of clause (1) of this subparagraph (d)); and

(3) in the event that the Borrower elects to prepay this Note in its entirety, then the Borrower shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the sum of the Prepayment Prices for all outstanding Advances (determined in accordance with the principles of clause (1) of this subparagraph (d)).

SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to Permitted Liens.  
UPON CONDITION that, until the happening of an Event of Default and subject to the provisions of Article V of this Deed to Secure Debt, and not in limitation of the rights elsewhere provided in this Deed to Secure Debt, including the rights set forth in Article V of this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantor shall be permitted to possess, use, manage, operate and enjoy the Secured Property.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, should the indebtedness evidenced by each of the FFB Promissory Note be Indefeasibly Paid in cash in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations and other obligations that expressly survive termination of the applicable documents), all commitments of FFB to the Grantor under each of the Note Purchase Agreements and the other FFB Credit Facility Documents be terminated, and the Grantor shall have Indefeasibly Paid in cash all sums due from the Grantor under the Loan Guarantee Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations and other obligations that expressly survive termination of the applicable 

7
Deed to Secure Debt
 

documents), then this Deed to Secure Debt shall be cancelled and surrendered, and the Grantee shall execute and deliver to the Grantor such instruments as the Grantor shall require to evidence such cancellation and surrender.  The term “Indefeasibly Paid” means paid by the Grantor and with respect to such payment (i) more than 90 days have passed since the date such payment was made without there having been filed any Insolvency Proceeding (as defined in the Loan Guarantee Agreement) with respect to the Grantor, or (ii) in the event any Insolvency Proceeding shall have been filed with respect to such Grantor within 90 days of the date of such payment, no claim of avoidance with respect to such payment under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Owners Direct Agreement) shall have been made before the expiration of the applicable period prescribed in Section 546(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
This Deed to Secure Debt is intended to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing the title to the Secured Property to Grantee and is made under those provisions of the existing laws of the State relating to deeds to secure debt and is not a mortgage.  This Deed to Secure Debt is also a security agreement granting a present and continuing security interest and security title in the portion of the Secured Property constituting personal property or fixtures.
III.     
GENERAL AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS
3.1.    Payment and Performance.  Grantor shall pay promptly as and when due all amounts owing by Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations at the times and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents and shall perform the obligations of Grantor in full when they are required to be performed pursuant to the Loan Documents, subject to any applicable grace period, cure period or cure right provided for such payment or performance in any Loan Document.
3.2.    Other Covenants.  Grantor shall comply with any and all covenants applicable to Grantor and the Secured Property set forth in the Loan Documents, subject to any applicable grace period, cure period and cure right provided therefor.
3.3.    Uniform Commercial Code.
(a)    This Deed to Secure Debt constitutes a Security Agreement as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code in the State (the “Code”) with respect to any part of the Secured Property which may or might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or property other than real property (including all replacements thereof, additions thereto and substitutions therefor) (collectively, the “Personal Property Collateral”).  Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a security interest in the Personal Property Collateral.  All of Grantor’s right, title and interest in the Personal Property Collateral is hereby assigned to Grantee to secure the payment of the Secured Obligations.  The Grantor shall and Grantee may cause to be recorded in the county in which the Premises are located, as well as with the applicable offices of the State, such financing statements and fixture filings as shall be necessary or desirable in order to establish, maintain, preserve, protect and continue the validity, perfection and priority of Grantee’s Lien upon the Personal Property Collateral.

8
Deed to Secure Debt
 

(b)    At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing, Grantee shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Code, including without limitation the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Personal Property Collateral or any part thereof.  The remedies of Grantee hereunder are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under the Code shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of the Grantee, including having the Personal Property Collateral deemed part of the real property upon any foreclosure so long as any part of the Secured Obligations remains unsatisfied.
3.4.    Ownership of the Secured Property.
(a)    The Grantor represents and warrants that, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantor (i) owns fee simple title to that portion of the Secured Property constituting real property, and (ii) owns valid legal and beneficial or equitable title to that portion of the Secured Property constituting personal property (tangible and intangible) of the Grantor, in each case free and clear of any other Liens of any kind except for Permitted Liens.
(b)    The Grantor represents and warrants that the Improvements constituting real property that are part of the Secured Property are located only on the Premises. 
(c)    The Grantor covenants and agrees that it shall, subject to the provisions of Article V, establish, maintain, preserve, protect and continue the validity, perfection and priority of the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt at all times prior to the date this Deed to Secure Debt is required to be cancelled and surrendered pursuant to Article II.
3.5.    Further Assurances.  Grantor agrees that, upon the request of Grantee from time to time, it will, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments and further assurances of title and will do or cause to be done all such further acts and things as may reasonably be necessary to fully effectuate the intent of this Deed to Secure Debt.  In the event that Grantor shall fail to do any of the foregoing, after giving effect to any applicable grace period, cure period and cure right provided therefor in any Loan Document, Grantee may, in its sole discretion, do so in the name of Grantor, and Grantor hereby appoints Grantee as its attorney-in-fact to do any of the foregoing.
IV.     
EVENT OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
4.1.    Event of Default.  The occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Loan Guarantee Agreement), shall constitute an “Event of Default” for all purposes under this Deed to Secure Debt.  The Secured Obligations shall be subject to acceleration by DOE upon an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of the Loan Guarantee Agreement.
4.2.    Foreclosure/Power of Sale.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Grantee shall have the right to foreclose the lien hereof, either by judicial action or by power of sale, for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof and/or exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Deed to Secure Debt or any of the other Loan 

9
Deed to Secure Debt
 

Documents.  At any such foreclosure, Grantee, at its option, may sell the Secured Property at public sale or sales before the door of the courthouse in the county in which the Secured Property or any part of the Secured Property is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Secured Obligations, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a legal organ in which Sheriff’s sales are advertised in said county.  Grantee may bid for and acquire the Secured Property or any part thereof at any sale made under or by virtue of this Deed to Secure Debt and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price the unpaid amounts due and owing in respect of the Secured Obligations or any other liabilities after deducting from the sales price the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action or proceedings and any other sums that Grantee is authorized to deduct under this Deed to Secure Debt or applicable law.  At any such public sale, Grantee may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Secured Property, and to this end, Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Grantee the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all right, title, interest, equity and equity of redemption that Grantor may have in and to the Secured Property and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor.  The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by dissolution, insolvency or otherwise, and are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for collection of the indebtedness secured hereby.  In the event of any such foreclosure sale by Grantee, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.  The purchaser or purchasers at such sale (a) must be financially responsible, as determined by Grantee, taking into account the remaining obligations at the time of such sale under the Ownership Agreement, the Operating Agreement and the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, and (b) must become a party or parties to each such agreement, and assume (i) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Ownership Agreement as a “Participating Party” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” (as those terms are defined in the Ownership Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, (ii) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Operating Agreement solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” (as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, (iii) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Declaration of Covenants as an “Additional Units Owner” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s ownership interest in the “Additional Units Property” (as those terms are defined in the Declaration of Covenants) acquired by such purchaser, (iv) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement solely as a “Participant” with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” and related facilities, equipment, inventory and common facilities (as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, and (v) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Development Agreement as a “Participating Party” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s ownership interest in the Additional Units (as those terms are defined in the Development Agreement), in each of the foregoing cases (i) through (v) arising from and after the date of such assumption.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.2 requires 

10
Deed to Secure Debt
 

or permits Grantee or such purchaser, to accede to (1) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Agent” under and as defined in the Ownership Agreement, (2) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Agent” under and as defined in the Operating Agreement, (3) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participating Party” with respect to its “Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” under and as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement, (4) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as an “Existing Units Owner” under and as defined in the Declaration of Covenants, (5) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Additional Units Agent” under and as defined in the Declaration of Covenants, (6) the rights and obligations of the Grantor under Paragraph 3(d) of the Declaration of Covenants, (7) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participant” with respect to an “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, (8) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participant” with respect to an “Undivided Ownership Interest” in “Plant Hatch” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, (9) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participants’ Agent” as agent for the other “Participants” in accordance with the “Participation Agreements” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; (10) Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement; (11) Grantor’s “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; (12) Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in “Plant Hatch” as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; and (13) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Agent” under and as defined in the Development Agreement.
4.3.    Sale of Personal Property Collateral.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Grantee may sell the Personal Property Collateral either (a) concurrently with and in conjunction with a sale of the balance of the Secured Property, in which case the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof shall apply to the Personal Property Collateral as well as to the balance of the Secured Property, or (b) separately and apart from the balance of the Secured Property in the form and manner provided by the Code.  The Grantor stipulates and agrees that a sale of the Personal Property Collateral as described in the preceding sentence is a commercially reasonable manner of disposing of the Personal Property Collateral.  To the extent that the Code shall require prior notice of sale or other disposition of the Personal Property Collateral, ten (10) days written notice shall be deemed to be reasonable notice.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Grantee also may sell the Personal Property Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale for cash or credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable or otherwise as is permitted by applicable law.  The Grantee shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Personal Property Collateral regardless of a notice of sale having been given.  The Grantee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  
4.4.    Remedies Cumulative and Non-Waiver.  No remedy or right of Grantee hereunder, under the Loan Guarantee Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or available under applicable law, shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy.  Each such 

11
Deed to Secure Debt
 

remedy or right shall be in addition to every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing under any such document or under applicable law.  No delay in the exercise of, or omission to exercise, any remedy or right accruing on the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or a different nature, nor shall it extend or affect any grace period, cure period or cure right.  Every remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Grantee.  All obligations of Grantor hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Grantee hereunder, shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, those provided by law or in the Loan Guarantee Agreement, or contained in any of the other Loan Documents or any other written agreement or instrument relating to any of the Secured Obligations or any security therefor.
4.5.    Expenses.  In any proceeding to foreclose the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt, there shall be allowed and included, as additional indebtedness and/or obligations, including without limitation, reimbursement obligations, in the judgment or decree resulting therefrom, all expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of Grantee in the protection of the Secured Property and the exercise of Grantee’s rights and remedies hereunder, which expenses may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of any judgment or decree of foreclosure and prior to foreclosure.  Such expenses shall include:  reasonable attorney’s fees actually incurred, determined without regard to any statutory presumption, appraiser’s fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographer’s charges, publication costs, survey costs, and costs of procuring all abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and any similar data and assurances with respect to title to the Secured Property as Grantee may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute any such proceeding or to evidence to bidders at any sale pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or value of the Secured Property or any part thereof.  All such expenses shall be due and payable by Grantor upon demand.
4.6.    Grantee’s Performance of Grantor’s Obligations.  
A.    Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Grantee, either before or after acceleration of the Secured Obligations or before the foreclosure of the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt, may, but shall not be required to (a) make any payment or perform any act herein, in any other Loan Document or any Assigned Agreement which is required of Grantor (whether or not Grantor is personally liable therefor) in any form and manner deemed expedient to Grantee; (b) make full or partial payments of principal or interest on any prior mortgage or encumbrance; (c) purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien on title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Secured Property, or contest any impositions of material Taxes or assessments; and (d) rent, operate, maintain and manage the Additional Unit Properties and Related Facilities and pay operating costs and expenses, including management fees, of every kind and nature in connection therewith, so that the Additional Unit Properties and Related Facilities shall be operational and usable for their intended purposes and perform any obligation of Grantor under the Assigned Agreements or other Secured Property.  All monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized, and all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, shall constitute Secured Obligations, and shall become due and payable 

12
Deed to Secure Debt
 

upon demand.  Grantee, in making any payment hereby authorized:  (x) for the payment of impositions of material Taxes or assessments, may do so according to any bill or statement, without inquiry into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; (y) for the purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of any other prior lien, may do so without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim or lien which may be asserted; or (z) for the rental, operation or management of the Additional Unit Properties and Related Facilities or the payment of operating cost and expenses thereof, may do so in such amounts and to such persons as Grantee may deem appropriate and may enter into such contracts therefor as Grantee may deem appropriate or may perform the same itself.  In exercising any of the foregoing rights, Grantee may act as attorney-in-fact or agent of Grantor or in its own name, either personally or by its agents.
B.    Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Grantee, either before or after acceleration of the Secured Obligations or before the foreclosure of the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt, may, but shall not be required to, continue or complete the construction, furnishing and equipping of the Additional Unit Properties and Related Facilities, including by paying any Completion Costs.  The Completion Costs shall be Secured Obligations and shall be payable solely as provided for in Section 4.10 and subject to the provisions of Section 10.20 of the Loan Guarantee Agreement.  In exercising any of the foregoing rights, Grantee may act as attorney in fact or agent of Grantor or in its own name, either personally or by its agents.
4.7.    Right of Possession.  Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Grantor shall, immediately upon Grantee’s demand, surrender to Grantee, and Grantee shall be entitled to take actual possession of the Secured Property or any part thereof, personally or by its agent or attorneys.  Grantee may enter upon and take and maintain possession or may apply to the court in which a foreclosure is pending to be placed in possession of all or any part of the Secured Property, together with all documents, books, records, papers, and accounts of Grantor or the then owner of the Secured Property relating thereto.  Grantee may exclude Grantor, solely in its capacity as an owner of an interest in the Additional Unit Properties and the Related Facilities, and any agents and servants from the Secured Property, but Grantee shall not exclude Grantor as “Agent” under either or both of the Ownership Agreement or the Operating Agreement and shall not exclude Grantor in its capacity as an Existing Units Owner (as defined in the Declaration of Covenants).  As attorney-in-fact or agent of Grantor or such owner, or in its own name, Grantee may hold, operate, manage, and control all or any part of the Secured Property, either personally or by its agents.  Grantee shall have full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as it may deem proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the rents, issues, deposits, profits, and avails of the Secured Property, including actions for recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer, and actions in distress for rent, all without notice to Grantor.
4.8.    Appointment of Receiver.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantee, without regard to the value, adequacy or occupancy of the Secured Property as security for the Secured Obligations, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver (“Receiver”), either ex parte or upon prior notice to Grantor, and to enter upon and take possession of the Secured Property in the manner it deems appropriate or as the court 

13
Deed to Secure Debt

This Deed to Secure Debt shall secure the expenses, including without limitation, Receiver’s fees, attorney’s fees, costs and agent’s compensation, which are incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained.  The right to enter, take possession of, manage and operate the Secured Property, whether by Receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof.

4.9.    Rescission of Notice of Default.  Grantee (on behalf of the Secured Parties) may from time to time rescind any notice of default or notice of sale before any sale as provided above, by executing and delivering to Grantor a written notice of such rescission.  The exercise by Grantee of such right of rescission shall not (a) constitute a waiver of any breach or default then existing or subsequently occurring, (b) impair the right of Grantee to execute and deliver to Grantor other declarations or notices of default to satisfy the obligations of this Deed to Secure Debt or the obligations secured hereby, or (c) otherwise affect any provision, covenant or condition of any Loan Document or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of Grantee or the Secured Parties hereunder or thereunder.

The Grantee shall, from time to time, at Grantor’s written request, execute a written instrument to confirm a release of the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt in connection with any action taken by the Grantor under this Section 5.2, upon receipt by the Grantee of (i) a copy of a resolution certified by an Authorized Official of the Grantor to have been duly adopted by the board of directors of the Grantor and to be in full force and effect on the date of the applicable release, and delivered to the Grantee (a “Board Resolution”), (ii) a Borrower Certificate stating

5.3.    Eminent Domain.
A.

B.    If a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order authorizing the taking of any or all of the Secured Property pursuant to an eminent domain proceeding or any or all of the Secured Property shall otherwise be taken pursuant to the power of eminent domain, the Grantee shall release the property subject to the order from the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt upon being furnished with a Borrower Certificate requesting such release, describing the property to be released, stating that such property has been taken pursuant to an eminent domain proceeding or any or all of the Secured Property shall otherwise be taken pursuant to eminent domain, and attaching a copy of the order or such other documentation that evidences such taking through the power of eminent domain.
5.4.    Written Disclaimer of Grantee.
In case the Grantor proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of or has sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any property not subject to the lien hereof and the recipient thereof requests the Grantor to furnish a written disclaimer or quitclaim by the Grantee of any interest in such property under this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantee shall at Grantor’s expense execute such an instrument without substitution of other property or cash upon receipt by the Grantee of:

17
Deed to Secure Debt
 

C.    an Opinion of Counsel, which shall also state that such property is not subject to the lien hereof and not required to be subjected thereto by any of the provisions hereof; and 
D.    reimbursement to the Grantee and DOE of all reasonable costs and expense actually incurred in connection with any such Grantor Request.
5.5.    Powers Exercisable Notwithstanding Event of Default.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Grantor remains in possession of all or substantially all of the Secured Property, the Grantor may exercise the powers conferred upon it in this Article (even though it would otherwise be prohibited from doing so while an Event of Default is continuing as provided therein), if the Grantee in its discretion (based upon such opinions and certifications as the Grantee deems necessary), shall specifically consent to such action, in which event none of the instruments required to be furnished to the Grantee under this Article as a condition to the exercise of such powers need state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as provided therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee’s consent shall not be required to effectuate a release of all nuclear fuel loaded in the reactor cores of the Units pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph prior to the earliest date on which (a) Grantee, its agent, DOE, or a trustee or Receiver lawfully appointed shall take possession of all or substantially all of the Secured Property, or (b) the Secured Property shall be sold upon a foreclosure of the lien hereof. 
5.6.    Powers Exercisable by Grantee or Receiver.
In case all or substantially all of the Secured Property shall be in the possession of a trustee or Receiver lawfully appointed, the powers hereinbefore in this Article conferred upon the Grantor with respect to the sale, exchange or other disposition and release of the Secured Property may be exercised by such trustee or Receiver (with the consent of the Grantee, in its sole discretion), in which case a written request signed by such Receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any Board Resolution or Grantor Request required by this Article and a certificate signed by such trustee or Receiver shall be deemed the equivalent of any Borrower Certificate required by this Article and such certificate need not state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
5.7.    Purchaser Protected.
No purchaser or other recipient in good faith of property or rights purporting to be released herefrom shall be bound to ascertain the authority of the Grantee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions herein prescribed for the exercise of such authority.  No purchaser or other recipient in good faith of any property or rights permitted by this Article to be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of by the Grantor shall be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Grantor to make any such sale, exchange or other disposition.  Grantee may execute a release in connection with this Article V of this Deed to Secure Debt upon satisfaction of the conditions necessary to effectuate such release and any such release shall be sufficient for the purpose of this Deed to Secure Debt and shall constitute a good and valid release of the property therein described from the lien hereof.

6.6.    Non-Waiver.  Unless expressly provided in this Deed to Secure Debt to the contrary, no consent or waiver, express or implied, by any party, to or of any breach or default by any other party shall be deemed a consent to or waiver of the performance by such defaulting party of any other obligations or the performance by any other party of the same, or of any other, obligations.

19
Deed to Secure Debt
 

6.12.    No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Deed to Secure Debt.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Deed to Secure Debt shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of this Deed to Secure Debt.
6.13.    Intentionally omitted.  
6.14.    Compliance with Applicable Law.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Deed to Secure Debt to the contrary, in the event that any provision in this Deed to Secure Debt shall violate any provision of State law regarding foreclosure (the “State Foreclosure Law”), the provisions of the State Foreclosure Law shall take precedence over such provision of this Deed to Secure Debt, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Deed to Secure Debt that can be construed in a manner consistent with State Foreclosure Law.  
6.15.    Secured Obligations to Include Judgments.  The obtaining of any judgment by Grantee and/or the Secured Parties (other than a judgment foreclosing this Deed to Secure Debt) and any levy of any execution under any such judgment upon the Secured Property shall not affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt upon the Secured Property or any part thereof, or any liens, powers, rights and remedies of Grantee and/or the Secured Parties hereunder, but such liens, powers, rights and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before until the judgment or levy is satisfied.  Furthermore, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Obligations are secured by the Secured Property from the time of execution of this Deed to Secure Debt.  Grantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that, in certain circumstances, the Secured Property, in and of itself, if foreclosed or realized upon might not be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding amount of the Secured Obligations.

Specifically, and without limitation of the foregoing, it is agreed that it is the intent of the parties hereto that in the event of a judicial foreclosure of this Deed to Secure Debt, that the Secured Obligations shall not be deemed merged into any judgment of foreclosure, but shall rather remain outstanding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
6.16.    Survival.  If the Secured Property is released from this Deed to Secure Debt, any of the terms and provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt that expressly survive pursuant to the terms of this Deed to Secure Debt shall nevertheless survive the release or satisfaction of this Deed to Secure Debt, whether voluntarily granted by Grantee or the Secured Parties, as a result of a judgment upon judicial foreclosure of this Deed to Secure Debt, as a result of a non-judicial foreclosure of the Secured Property pursuant to this Deed to Secure Debt or in the event a deed in lieu of foreclosure is granted by Grantor to Grantee and/or the Secured Parties.
6.17.    WAIVER OF GRANTOR’S RIGHTS.  BY EXECUTION OF THIS DEED TO SECURE DEBT, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY:  (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT TO ACCELERATE THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS AND THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GIVEN HEREIN TO GRANTEE TO SELL THE PROPERTY BY NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE UPON DEFAULT BY GRANTOR WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING

Grantee acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence of any default or Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt or other Loan Document the payment of the Completion Costs shall be made solely as provided for in Section 4.10(c) of this Deed to Secure Debt and subject to the provisions of Section 10.20 of the Loan Guarantee Agreement.  
6.21.    Owner Documents.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Deed to Secure Debt to the contrary, Grantee acknowledges and agrees (a) that prior to and in connection with any sale of Secured Property by judicial action or power of sale, whether under or pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4 or otherwise, Grantee must comply with the provisions of Section 4.2(g) of the Ownership Agreement as amended by the Owners Direct Agreement, (b) that prior to any sale of Secured Property by judicial action or power of sale pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4 or otherwise, Grantee’s rights, whether directly or indirectly through a receiver, to take possession of such Secured Property or make any payments or perform any obligations on behalf of Grantor with respect to such Secured Property, must be exercised in accordance with the Owner Documents as amended by (or otherwise as agreed in) the Owners Direct Agreement, and (c) the purchaser of any Secured Property at any sale by judicial action or power of sale, whether under or pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4 or otherwise, will acquire such Secured Property subject to the Owner Documents, as amended by the Owners Direct Agreement, and, in 

21

accordance with the last sentence of Section 4.2, must accede to (i) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Ownership Agreement as a “Participating Party” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” (as those terms are defined in the Ownership Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, (ii) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Operating Agreement solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” (as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, (iii) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Declaration of Covenants as an “Additional Units Owner” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s ownership interest in the “Additional Units Property” (as those terms are defined in the Declaration of Covenants) acquired by such purchaser, (iv) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement solely as a “Participant” with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” and related facilities, equipment, inventory and common facilities (as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, and (v) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Development Agreement as a “Participating  Party” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s ownership interest in the Additional Units (as those terms are defined in the Development Agreement), in each of the foregoing cases (i) through (v) arising from and after the date of such assumption. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.21 requires or permits Grantee, under (a) or (b) above, or such purchaser, under (c) above, to accede to (1) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Agent” under and as defined in the Ownership Agreement, (2) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Agent” under and as defined in the Operating Agreement, (3) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participating Party” with respect to its “Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” under and as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement, (4) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as an “Existing Units Owner” under and as defined in the Declaration of Covenants, (5) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Additional Units Agent” under and as defined in the Declaration of Covenants, (6) the rights and obligations of the Grantor under Paragraph 3(d) of the Declaration of Covenants, (7) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participant” with respect to an “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, (8) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participant” with respect to an “Undivided Ownership Interest” in “Plant Hatch” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, and (9) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participant’s Agent” as agent for the other “Participants” in accordance with the “Participation Agreements” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; (10) Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement; (11) Grantor’s “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; (12) Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in “Plant Hatch” as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; and (13) the rights and obligations of the Grantor as “Agent” under the Development Agreement.
6.22.    Fixture Filing.  Certain of the Secured Property is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Code), and this Deed to Secure Debt, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a 

22
Deed to Secure Debt
 

financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code upon such of the Secured Property that is or may become fixtures.
6.23.    Amendment and Restatement.  This Deed to Secure Debt amends, restates and supersedes the original Deed to Secure Debt, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, dated as of February 20, 2014, made by the Grantor in favor of the Grantee, in its entirety.
