Summary of Current Compensation Arrangements with Non-Employee Directors
(As of August 24, 2018)

The following summarizes, as of August 24, 2018, the current cash compensation and benefits received by the Company’s non-employee directors. The following is a summary of existing arrangements, and does not provide any additional rights.

Retainer Fees

The Company pays each non-employee director a base retainer of $100,000 per year (the “Base Retainer”). Non-employee directors who serve as committee chairpersons receive annual additional amounts as follows:

	
		
	Audit Committee Chair
	$25,000

	Compensation Committee Chair
	$20,000

	Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Chair
	$20,000

	Corporate Social Responsibility Committee Chair
	$15,000

In addition to the compensation received by all non-employee directors, Jackie M. Ward, Non-Executive Chairman, receives an additional annual retainer of $475,000, paid quarterly, for her service as Non-Executive Chairman.

Directors Deferred Compensation Plan

Non-employee directors may defer all or a portion of their annual retainer, including additional fees paid to committee chairpersons and any additional retainer fee paid to the non-executive Chairman of the Board and/or Lead Director, under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. With respect to amounts deferred, non-employee directors may choose from a variety of investment options, including Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Yield plus 1% for amounts deferred or matched prior to July 2, 2008 and Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Yield without the additional 1% for amounts deferred or matched on or after July 2, 2008. Such deferred amounts will be credited with investment gains or losses until the non-employee director’s retirement from the Board or until the occurrence of certain other events.

Sysco Corporation 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), non-employee directors may receive shares of Common Stock (“Elected Shares”) in lieu of all or a portion of the Base Retainer and any additional retainer fee paid to the non-executive Chairman of the Board and/or Lead Director for his or her service in such capacity and any fees paid to a committee chairman for his or her service in such capacity.

 
Restricted Stock.  Under the Plan, the Board is authorized to issue equity-based awards, including restricted stock and restricted stock units, to non-employee directors on terms set forth in the Plan.

Elected Shares.  Under the Plan, each non-employee director is permitted to elect to receive all or a portion of his or her annual retainer (including any additional retainer fee paid to the non-executive Chairman of the Board and/or Lead Director for his or her service in such capacity and any fees paid to a committee chairman for his or her service in such capacity) in Elected Shares. The Company will provide a matching grant with respect to up to 50% of the Base Retainer that a non-employee director elects to receive in the form of Elected Shares (the “Match Eligible Shares”). The matching grant shall be equal to 50% of the Match Eligible Shares that a non-employee director receives. With respect to the remaining portion of the Base Retainer and any additional retainer fee paid to the non-executive Chairman of the Board and/or Lead Director for his or her service in such capacity and any fees paid to a committee chairman for his or her service in such capacity, a non-employee director may elect to receive Common Stock, but it is not eligible for the matching grant described in this paragraph.

The Board does not currently grant annual stock option or restricted stock unit awards to non-employee directors under this Plan.

2009 Board of Directors Stock Deferral Plan

A non-employee director may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of any shares of common stock issued under the Plan, whether such shares are to be issued as a grant of restricted stock, elected shares or matching grants, or upon the vesting of a restricted stock unit grant. Generally, the receipt of stock may be deferred until the earliest to occur of the death of the non-employee director, the date on which the non-employee director ceases to be a director of Sysco, or a change of control of Sysco.

Reimbursement for Expenses

All non-employee directors are entitled to receive reimbursements of expenses for all services as a director, including committee participation or special assignments. This includes reimbursement for non-commercial air travel in connection with Sysco business, subject to specified maximums, provided that amounts related to the purchase price of an aircraft or fractional interest in an aircraft are not reimbursable and any portion of the reimbursement that relates to insurance, maintenance and other non-incremental costs is limited to a maximum annual amount.

The Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, the 2009 Board of Directors Stock Deferral Plan and the Plan have been filed as exhibits to the Company’s filings pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Additional information regarding these plans is included in the Company’s 2017 Proxy Statement.Exhibit

vested right to such benefits for the Debtors' Current Employees, the Debtors' Former Employees, the Debtors' Retirees, or any employees of the FE Non-Debtor Parties under any employee benefit plan, plan document or collective bargaining agreement that does not otherwise exist on the date of this Agreement.  The Debtors' Current Employees and the Debtors' Former Employees will, at all times, be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Health Care Plan or Welfare Plan including, per the specific terms of the applicable Health Care Plan or Welfare Plan, the reservation of the right by FE Corp. of complete discretion to amend or terminate such Health Care Plan or Welfare Plan or the access to such Health Care Plan or Welfare Plan.   
(a)    Except with respect to the LTIP, from and after the Plan Effective Date, FE Corp. will pay or cause to be paid (including from an applicable trust or other funding vehicle maintained by any FE Non-Debtor Party) all employee-associated Claims and guarantees of the Debtors' Current Employees and the Debtors' Former Employees as and when such obligations become due and payable to the Debtors' Current Employees and Debtors' Former Employees under the applicable plan documents solely for (i) Pension Plan Claims, (ii) Deferred Compensation Claims, (iii) Retiree Group Life Insurance Claims, (iv) Vacation Claims, (v) Limited Retiree Medical Claims with respect to any of the Debtors' Retirees, and (vi) any Limited Union Medical Claims.  With respect to the LTIP Claims, FE Corp. will pay to the Debtors' Current Employees and the Debtors' Former Employees participating in the LTIP those amounts that become vested as of March 1, 2019 no later than March 15, 2019. 
(b)    Any VERO can be offered in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2(b) during calendar year 2019 but prior to the Plan Effective Date.  To the extent the Debtors elect to undertake a workforce reduction in calendar year 2019 but prior to the Plan Effective Date, other than with respect to employees assigned to the FENOC company code in the SAP System of Record, then, FE Corp. will pay only for the costs of the temporary pension enhancement portion of any VERO offered (capped at, for any employee who elects the VERO, $1,500 per month per employee until age 65 or a minimum of two years) in connection with such VERO and only for the Debtors' Current Employees who:  (i) reach age 58 on or before December 31, 2019; and (ii) have completed at least ten or more years of credited services or benefit service by the employee's retirement date under the applicable terms of the plan that governs the employee's accrual of regular pension benefits.  For the avoidance of doubt, if any of the Debtors offers a VERO to employees assigned to the FENOC company code in the SAP System of Record, the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall have no obligations related thereto.
(c)    With respect to the Debtors' Current Employees, FE Corp. will amend the Pension Bridge to apply to sales of the assets of a business unit closing on or before December 31, 2020, and clarify that the Pension Bridge covers terminations resulting from the transfer of the assets of a business unit to an entity that is not an Affiliate of FE Corp. (in addition to the sale of the assets of a business unit to an entity that is not an Affiliate of FE Corp.) closing on or before such date.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Debtor's emergence from chapter 11 alone shall not constitute a termination event for any of the Debtors' Current 

Page 23 of  64

Employees for purposes of the Pension Bridge.  The requirements of this Section 2.2(c) shall not apply if (i) prohibited by law or regulation or (ii) counsel to FE Corp. determines in its reasonable judgment that any Pension Plan amendment required to effectuate such requirements would jeopardize the Pension Plan's tax qualified status.  In the event the circumstances described in (i) or (ii) in the preceding sentence prevent FE Corp. from expanding the Pension Bridge to "transfers" of a business unit, FE Corp. will extend the Pension Bridge with respect to the Debtors' Current Employees to cover sales closing on or before December 31, 2020.  
(d)    With respect to any existing collective bargaining agreement under which a Debtor and a FE Non-Debtor Party are signatory employers, FESC and the applicable FE Non-Debtor Party shall work cooperatively with the Debtors to separate such existing collective bargaining agreement with the applicable union into separate collective bargaining agreements; provided, however, that such cooperation shall be on a commercially reasonable basis, which may include the incurrence of unreimbursed de minimis expenses (or additional costs to the extent reimbursed by the Debtors) by the FE Non-Debtor Parties, and shall not require the FE Non-Debtor Parties to undertake any action that will cause an adverse effect on, or result in a loss of rights without adequate consideration to, the FE Non-Debtor Parties.  Additionally, FESC and the applicable FE Non-Debtor Parties shall work cooperatively with the Debtors in the Debtors' defense of any claims or actions asserted by the PBGC with respect to periods prior to the Plan Effective Date, including by providing any necessary information or documents to the Debtors, provided, however, that such cooperation shall be on a commercially reasonable basis, which may include the incurrence of unreimbursed de minimis expenses (or additional costs to the extent reimbursed by the Debtors) by the FE Non-Debtor Parties, and shall not require the FE Non-Debtor Parties to undertake any action that will cause an adverse effect on, or result in a loss of rights without adequate consideration to, the FE Non-Debtor Parties.
(e)    With respect to cessation of participation by the Debtors:
(i)    The Debtors agree that they shall cease to participate in any Health Care Plan, Welfare Plan, or Miscellaneous Employee Benefit Program on the Plan Effective Date or on such date prior to the Plan Effective Date as the Debtors shall determine.
(ii)    Upon cessation of participation by the Debtors in any Health Care Plan, Welfare Plan, or Miscellaneous Employee Benefit Program on or prior to the Plan Effective Date, FE Corp. also agrees to the following provisions:
(A)    When the Debtors cease to participate in any Health Care Plan, FE Corp. and FESC will not charge the Debtors for any Health Care Runoff Costs under or related to such Health Care Plan.
(B)    When the Debtors cease to participate in any Health Care Plan, FE Corp. and FESC will not charge, except for any indirect costs relating to 

Page 24 of  64

Human Resources management services pursuant to the Amended SSA, the Debtors for any costs under or related to such Health Care Plan, but shall be able to charge the Debtors' Current Employees or the Debtors' Former Employees or any dependent thereof for any COBRA Costs with respect to such persons.
(C)    When the Debtors cease to participate in any Welfare Plan, FE Corp. and FESC will not charge the Debtors for any Welfare and Benefits Plan Administration Costs under or related to such Welfare Plan.
(D)    When the Debtors cease to participate in any Miscellaneous Employee Benefit Program that is available to generally all employees of FE Non-Debtor Parties and the Debtors, then FE Corp. and FESC will not charge the Debtors for any Miscellaneous Employee Benefits Programs Costs under or related to such Miscellaneous Employee Benefit Program.
Section 2.3      Tax Allocation Agreement.
(a)    The FE Non-Debtor Parties and the Debtors will perform under the Tax Allocation Agreement with respect to all periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Plan Effective Date.    
(b)    Under no circumstances shall FE Corp. take any action to terminate or amend to the detriment of the Debtors the Tax Allocation Agreement prior to the Plan Effective Date.  On the Plan Effective Date, in consideration for the releases described in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 of this Agreement, the FE Non-Debtor Parties will reverse the 2018 Tax Setoff and, to the extent not previously satisfied pursuant to the terms of the Tax Allocation Agreement, make the 2018 Tax Payment.  
(c)    The FE Non-Debtor Parties and the Debtors will perform under the Tax Allocation Agreement for tax year 2018, including the FE Non-Debtor Parties' pre-payment for the use of the Debtors' NOLs based upon FE Corp.'s projections of the amount of the Debtors' NOLs that the FE Non-Debtors will use in tax year 2018; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Tax Allocation Agreement, the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall guarantee a payment to the Debtors of an amount equal to the NOL Floor for the use of the Debtors' NOLs for tax year 2018.  To the extent that the amount actually paid to the Debtors' under the Tax Allocation Agreement for tax year 2018 is less than the NOL Floor, on the Plan Effective Date the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall promptly pay the Debtors an amount equal to the difference between $66 million and the amount actually paid for tax year 2018 pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement.  If the Plan Effective Date occurs prior to the filing of an FE Consolidated Tax Group tax return for a tax year during which a Debtor (or its income and losses) was included on such FE Consolidated Tax Group tax return, to the extent not previously paid, FE Corp. shall pay the Debtors the NOL Floor on the Plan Effective Date, and FE Corp. shall pay the Reorganized Debtors, or the Reorganized Debtors shall pay FE Corp., any amount owing under the Tax Allocation Agreement, consistent with this Agreement, based on the tax return actually filed promptly following the filing of such tax return; provided, however, that if 

Page 25 of  64

the actual amount owed for the use of the Debtors' NOLs by the FE Non-Debtor Parties is less than the NOL Floor, the Debtors shall only be required to refund the difference between the total amount of pre-payments, including the 2018 Tax Payment, and the NOL Floor.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2.3(c) shall be interpreted consistent with the examples set forth in Exhibit D hereto with respect to the timing of payments, including with respect to the 2018 Tax Setoff.
(d)    FE Corp. shall perform, and shall cause the FE Non-Debtor Parties to perform, under the Tax Allocation Agreement consistent with historical practice and shall not take any action, or refrain from taking any action, with the primary purpose of reducing payments to the Debtors under the Tax Allocation Agreement; provided, however, that the FE Non-Debtor Parties will not be prohibited from taking any action, or refraining from taking any action, necessary to preserve $628 million of value for the Worthless Stock Deduction.  For the avoidance of doubt, the act of taking the Worthless Stock Deduction, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall not be considered an action the primary purpose of which is to reduce the payments to the Debtors under the Tax Allocation Agreement;
(e)    On the Plan Effective Date, and in consideration for the releases described in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 of this Agreement, the Debtors and FE Corp. will enter into the Tax Matters Agreement, which agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Parties.  The Tax Matters Agreement shall provide for, among other things, that:
(i)    The FE Non-Debtor Parties will, with the Debtors' review and consultation (beginning for tax year 2018), timely prepare in the ordinary course of business:  (A) the U.S. federal income tax returns reflecting the Debtors' membership in the FE Consolidated Tax Group, and (B) any and all state and local income or other tax returns (including, but not limited to, income, franchise, use, property tax returns and other similar returns), in each case, for any tax period ending on or before the Plan Effective Date; provided, however, that FE Corp. shall not be required to take any action, or omit to take any action, that would result in an adverse effect on any of the FE Non-Debtor Parties;
(ii)    FE Corp. shall not take or cause to be taken the Worthless Stock Deduction with effect prior to the Plan Effective Date;
(iii)    The Parties shall cooperate in developing a strategy for the Debtors to exit from chapter 11 that minimizes adverse tax consequences to the Reorganized Debtors and their stakeholders, provided, however, that FE Corp. shall not be required to take any action, or omit to take any action, that would result in an adverse effect on of the FE Non-Debtor Parties; 
(iv)    FE Corp. shall cooperate with reasonable tax diligence inquiries from the Debtors, the Committee and the Supporting Parties regarding historical intercompany tax issues and tax consequences of different chapter 11 exit structures, including in connection with any sale of the Debtors' assets; and 

Page 26 of  64

(v)    The Parties shall agree to reasonably cooperate regarding any audit or tax.
(f)    On the Plan Effective Date, the FE Non-Debtor Parties will, in consideration for the releases described in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 of this Agreement, waive any Waived Tax Claims.
(g)    After the Plan Effective Date, if the FE Non-Debtor Parties have fully performed pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement:
(i)    The Debtors shall waive any payment that the Debtors would be entitled to from the FE Non-Debtor Parties under the Tax Allocation Agreement to the extent such payment relates to amounts that would have given rise to an Adjustment Amount had the final tax effect been known as of the Plan Effective Date without regard to payments previously made under the Tax Allocation Agreement that gave rise to the Adjustment Amount on the Plan Effective Date.
(ii)    The FE Non-Debtor Parties shall waive any payment that the FE Non-Debtor Parties would be entitled to from the Debtors under the Tax Allocation Agreement related to the Adjustment Amount.
Section 2.4      New FE Notes and Upfront Payment.
(a)    The Debtors shall provide FE Corp. with the Plan Effective Date Notice at least 40 days prior to the Plan Effective Date.  In the event that the Debtors do not provide the Plan Effective Date Notice at least 40 days prior to the Plan Effective Date, the FE Non-Debtor Parties' obligations under this Section 2.4 shall be tolled an amount of time equal to the difference between 40 days and the amount of days in between the receipt of the Plan Effective Date Notice.  
(b)    Subject to the Plan Effective Date Notice, on the Plan Effective Date, FE Corp. shall issue $628 million aggregate principal amount, less the Adjustment Amount, of the New FE Notes to the Debtors.  If the Adjustment Amount is equal to or greater than $628 million, then FE Corp. will not be required to issue any New FE Notes.  The New FE Notes shall be issued in global certificated form only and registered to DTC or its nominee, with interests in the certificates being held through DTC participants.
(c)    The New FE Notes shall (i) bear a fixed interest rate as set forth in the definition of Upfront Payment, and (ii) after October 31, 2022, be redeemable at par, plus accrued but unpaid interest, at any time without premium or penalty.  The New FE Notes shall rank equally and ratably in right of payment with, and may be issued under the 2001 Indenture; provided that if FE Corp. uses a different Indenture it shall be materially identical to the 2001 Indenture and may, among other things, (i) provide for a different  trustee under the 2001 Indenture, which may be one of Citibank, N.A.; Citicorp International Limited; The Bank of New York Mellon; MUFG Union Bank, N.A.; U.S. Bank National Association;, Wells Fargo Bank N.A., or an affiliate of one of the foregoing, or any other trustee that is mutually acceptable 

Page 27 of  64

to the Debtors and the FE Non-Debtor Parties (in consultation with the Supporting Parties and Committee), (ii)  include changes reasonably required by the trustee, and (iii) include such other changes as FE Corp. shall determine, provided in each case that they are not adverse to the holders of the New FE Notes. The New FE Notes shall include terms consistent with the  Existing FE Notes (and other documents governing the Existing FE Notes, including the 2001 Indenture), including, but not limited to:  (1) the covenant not to pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or grant a security interest in, or permit any mortgage, pledge, security interest, or other lien upon, any capital stock of any subsidiary now or hereafter directly owned by FE Corp., to secure any indebtedness without also equally and ratably securing the New FE Notes, subject to the exceptions included in the Existing FE Notes, including the 2001 Indenture; and (2) the covenant by FE Corp. not to consolidate with or merge into any other entity or convey, sell or otherwise transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any entity in each case, subject to the express requirements, exceptions and limitations included in the terms of the Existing FE Notes , including the 2001 Indenture.
(d)    Should one or more sales or deactivations of a fossil or nuclear plant occur such that the Adjustment Amount is more than $0, a calculation of the Adjustment Amount, along with supporting work papers, shall be provided to the Parties by the FE Non-Debtor Parties at least fourteen (14) days prior to the Plan Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable in the event the sale closes within fourteen (14) days of the Plan Effective Date.  If the Adjustment Amount or the calculation thereof is not reasonably acceptable to one or more of the Parties, any Party may inform the Parties, in writing, of:  (i) their basis for disagreement with the calculated Adjustment Amount and (b) their proposed amended Adjustment Amount.  If the Parties do not resolve such dispute within five (5) days, the Party who originally objected to the Adjustment Amount may file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court, on not less than five (5) business days' notice, to request that the Bankruptcy Court resolve any such dispute.  The Debtors hereby agree not consummate any sale of a nuclear or operating fossil plant (excluding the West Lorain Plan) within the 40 days prior to the Plan Effective Date, provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to any asset sale consummated in the same calendar year as the Plan Effective Date.   
(e)    FE Corp. shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at its own expense:
(i)    to cause the New FE Notes at issuance to be assigned a rating by at least two nationally-recognized credit rating agencies, which ratings shall be at the same level or higher than the ratings assigned by such agencies to the Existing FE Notes; 
(ii)    to the extent that any or all of the New FE Notes are Distributed New FE Notes, then: 
(A)    unless impermissible under applicable law or SEC policy, to cause all of the Distributed New FE Notes to be distributed pursuant to the FES Plans in a transaction or transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code;

Page 28 of  64

(B)    in the event that it is not possible to distribute all of the Distributed New FE Notes pursuant to the FES Plans in the manner described in Section 2.4(e)(ii)(A), then unless impermissible under applicable law or SEC policy, to file with the SEC and cause to become effective on the Plan Effective Date one or more Registration Statements, on such form or forms as agreed to by the Parties, that will provide for the registration of the offer and issuance of all Distributed New FE Notes that are not distributed pursuant to the FES Plans in the manner described in Section 2.4(e)(ii)(A) by FE Corp. for distribution pursuant to the FES Plans on the Plan Effective Date and to cause the distribution of such Distributed New FE Notes pursuant to the FES Plans and such Registration Statement;
(C)    in the event that it is not possible to distribute all of the Distributed New FE Notes pursuant to the FES Plans in the manner described in Sections 2.4(e)(ii)(A) and (e)(ii)(B), then unless impermissible under applicable law or SEC policy to cause the distribution on the Plan Effective Date pursuant to the FES Plans such Distributed New FE Notes that are not distributed pursuant to Sections 2.4(e)(ii)(A) or (e)(ii)(B) in a private placement that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and register the public offer and sale of the Distributed New FE Notes by the holders thereof on a resale shelf Registration Statement, to become effective on the Plan Effective Date or as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter (but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the Plan Effective Date), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the removal of any legend on such Distributed New FE Notes stating that the transfer of such New FE Notes are or may be subject to restriction under the Securities Act, in connection with sales thereof pursuant to such Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
(D)    in the event that it is not possible to distribute all of the Distributed New FE Notes pursuant to the FES Plans in the manner described in Sections 2.4(e)(ii)(A), (e)(ii)(B) and (e)(ii)(C), then unless impermissible under applicable law or SEC policy, to cause the distribution on the Plan Effective Date pursuant to the FES Plans such Distributed New FE Notes that are not distributed pursuant to Sections 2.4(e)(ii)(A), (e)(ii)(B) or (e)(ii)(C) in a private placement that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and as promptly as is reasonably practicable thereafter register an exchange offer of substantially identical securities (other than with respect to transfer restrictions and registration rights under the Securities Act), which will provide for the exchange of the Distributed New FE Notes promptly after the effectiveness of such Registration Statement but, in no event, fewer than 20 business days or more than 40 business days after the effectiveness of such Registration Statement; and    
(E)    in the event that it is not possible to distribute all of the Distributed New FE Notes pursuant to the FES Plans in the manner described in Sections 2.4(e)(ii)(A), (e)(ii)(B), (e)(ii)(C), and (e)(ii)(D), without derogation of 

Page 29 of  64

the rights set forth in Section 2.4(e)(ii)(A)-(D) above, FE Corp. and the Parties shall take such other steps as are necessary in order to effectuate the distribution of the Distributed New FE Notes in accordance with the FES Plans.  
(iii)    To keep any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii) continuously effective, supplemented and amended until (1) in the case of Section 2.4(e)(ii)(B), the completion of the distribution pursuant to such Registration statement; (2) in the case of Section 2.4(e)(ii)(C), the earlier of (a) the one-year anniversary of the issuance of the Distributed New FE Notes and (b) the date on which all such Distributed New FE Notes have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided that to the extent that after such one-year anniversary or date on which all such Distributed New FE Notes have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, as applicable, any New FE Notes bear a legend stating that the transfer of such New FE Notes are or may be subject to restriction under the Securities Act, FE Corp. shall (x) continue to keep any such Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended until such time as all such legends have been removed from the applicable New FE Notes and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the removal of any such legend; and (3) in the case of section 2.4(e)(ii)(D), the consummation of the exchange offer; 
(iv)    in the event that any Distributed New FE Notes are distributed in a private placement, to register or qualify the Distributed New FE Notes required under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws unless such distribution of Distributed New FE Notes is exempt from such state securities or "blue sky" laws; and
(v)    to the extent that any or all of the New FE Notes are Non-Distributed New FE Notes, then use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and enter into one or more registration rights agreements with the Debtors prior to the Plan Effective Date pursuant to which FE Corp. will agree to registration rights with respect to the Non-Distributed New FE Notes that are substantially similar to the registration rights with respect to the Distributed New FE Notes set forth in this Section 2.4 (including the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 2.4(e)(iii)). 
FE Corp. will provide the following rights to holders of New FE Notes included or to be included in any resale Registration Statement:  (i) rights of the representatives of such holders to inspect such FE Corp. information and to have access to such FE Corp. personnel and professionals as they shall reasonably request to perform a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; (ii) rights to reasonable notification with respect to material developments regarding the Registration Statement, including if the same or any related documents becomes materially untrue;  (iii) rights to indemnification, including advancement of reasonable, documented, out of pocket expenses (including expenses of investigation), in any action based upon the Registration Statement being materially untrue or failing to comply with applicable law, other than with respect to information provided by holders of New FE Notes to FE Corp. for inclusion in any Registration Statement; (iv) rights to cause a private transferee of such New FE Notes to be included in the Registration Statement, upon reasonable notice and upon the provision by such transferee to FE Corp. of such information as it reasonably requests; 

Page 30 of  64

and (v) rights to require FE Corp. to bear all reasonable registration expenses (including expenses of one counsel for all holders of the New FE Notes being registered). 
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that all of the New FE Notes are distributed pursuant to the FES Plans in a transaction or transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, FE Corp. shall have no obligation pursuant to any other provision of this Section 2.4(e) to file or maintain the effectiveness of any Registration Statement.
The Parties shall cooperate in obtaining a finding pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court (and any applicable court exercising appellate jurisdiction) that the issuance of the New FE Notes are exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.  FE Corp. agrees that for purposes of obtaining such an order that it is an affiliate of the Debtors participating in a joint plan with the Debtors for the purposes of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and that public information with respect to FE Corp., and information with respect to the New FE Notes may be included in any disclosure statement regarding such plan. 
(f)    Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.4(f) but notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.4, FE Corp. shall have the right but not the obligation to defer the filing of (but not the preparation of), or suspend the use of, any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii)(C) or (e)(ii)(D) for a period of up to 90 days:
(i)    if an event occurs as a result of which the Registration Statement and any related prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend such Registration Statement, file a new Registration Statement or supplement any related prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the respective rules thereunder, provided that FE Corp. shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend such Registration Statement, file such new Registration Statement or supplement any related prospectus, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable;
(ii)    upon issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of legal or administrative proceedings with respect to such Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, provided that FE Corp. shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SEC to rescind such stop order or terminate such legal or administrative proceedings as promptly as reasonably practicable; or
(iii)    if FE Corp. furnishes to the Debtors and the holders of the Distributed New FE Notes a certificate signed by FE Corp.'s chief financial officer stating that in the good faith judgment of FE Corp., FE Corp. believes that the filing of any such Registration Statement or offering (1) should not be undertaken because it would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with any material corporate development 

Page 31 of  64

or plan of FE Corp. (provided that this exception (1) shall continue to apply only during the time that such filing continues to constitute material interference with any material corporate development or plan) or (2) would require FE Corp. under applicable law, in its reasonable judgment, and upon advice of counsel, which shall not be required to be stated in a formal legal opinion, to make disclosure of material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and FE Corp. believes in good faith that such disclosures at that time would affect FE Corp. in a materially adverse manner (provided that this exception (2) shall continue to apply only during the time that such material nonpublic information has not been disclosed and remains material).
In no event shall FE Corp. (i) declare a Suspension Period more than one time for any period of more than 90 days in any twelve month period or (ii) register any securities for its own account or that of any other holder of FE Corp.'s debt or equity securities or permit the use of any Registration Statement during any Suspension Period.  FE Corp. shall give written notice to the Debtors and all holders of the Distributed New FE Notes of its declaration of a Suspension Period and of the expiration of the relevant Suspension Period.   
(g)    FE Corp. will not be required to include the New FE Notes held by any holder of New FE Notes on any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.4 unless and until such holder furnishes to FE Corp. in writing such information as FE Corp. may reasonably request for use in connection with any Registration Statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus included therein.  Each Party who is a holder of New FE Notes as to which any Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to FE Corp. all reasonable and customary information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to FE Corp. by such holder of New FE Notes true and correct in all material respects and not materially misleading.  At least 30 days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, FE Corp. shall notify the Debtors and each holder of New FE Notes of the information FE Corp. requires from such holder of New FE Notes in the preparation of such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the failure of FE Corp. to provide such 30 days' notice to the Debtors and each holder of New FE Notes shall not obviate any obligation by a holder of Distributed New FE Notes to provide information as a prior condition to FE Corp.'s obligation to include the New FE Notes of such holder in the Registration Statement, provided, further that the delay by any holder of New FE Notes to provide such requested information shall not be deemed a waiver or derogation of any such holder's rights hereunder to have its New FE Notes included in the Registration Statement after it has provided such information. 
(h)    On the Plan Effective Date, FE Corp. shall pay the Debtors the Upfront Payment.  If the calculation of the Upfront Payment is not acceptable to one or more of the Parties, any Party may enforce its rights pursuant to Section 12.4 of this Agreement.
(i)    In the event any New FE Notes become restricted securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act on or after the Plan Effective Date and prior to the one-year anniversary of the issuance thereof, the holders of such New FE Notes will be entitled to the registration rights of the Debtors under this Section 2.4 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the rights set forth in Section 2.4(e)(v)), provided that to the extent that after such one-year 

Page 32 of  64

anniversary, any New FE Notes bear a legend stating that the transfer of such New FE Notes are or may be subject to restriction under the Securities Act, the holders of the New FE Notes will be entitled to such registration rights until such time as all such legends have been removed from the applicable New FE Notes.
(j)    FE Corp. and the Debtors agree that the New FE Noteholders will suffer damages if a Registration Default occurs, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision.  Accordingly, FE Corp. agrees to pay, jointly and severally, as liquidated damages in connection with a Registration Default, additional interest on the outstanding New FE Notes if a Registration Default occurs.  The interest rate on the New FE Notes will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period beginning on the day immediately following such Registration Default and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in each case to but excluding the date such Registration Default ends, at which point the interest rate borne by the New FE Notes will decrease to the original interest rate borne by such New FE Notes.  In no event shall any such increase to the interest rate borne by the New FE Notes pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence exceed, in the aggregate, 1.0% per annum.  If at any time more than one Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, all such Registration Defaults shall be treated as a single continuing Registration Default beginning on the date that the earliest Registration Default occurred and ending on the date that there is no longer any Registration Default.  For the avoidance of doubt, after the date that all legends stating that the transfer of such New FE Notes are or may be subject to restriction under the Securities Act have been removed from all New FE Notes, no additional interest shall accrue and be required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.4(j) from the time of such removal.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein including, for the avoidance of doubt, Article XII, any additional interest with respect to a Registration Default shall be due in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.4(j) and not subject to the provisions of Article XII hereof.
(k)    All documents necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.4, including any Registration Statement, indenture, and registration rights agreement, and all documents related to the foregoing, shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the FE Non-Debtor Parties, the Debtors, the Committee, and the Supporting Parties.
Section 2.5      Shared Services Agreements.

In consideration for the releases provided to the FE Non-Debtor Parties as described in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 of this Agreement, AE Supply will transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Pleasants Power Plant and related assets (except for McElroy's Run Impoundment) to the Pleasants Purchaser while retaining the liabilities set forth below, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Pleasants Purchase Agreement.  The Pleasants Purchase Agreement shall contain customary agreed-upon limits for AE Supply's indemnity obligations in favor of the Pleasants Purchaser in both amount and duration; provided, however, that AE Supply’s indemnity obligations with respect to McElroy's Run Impoundment shall not be limited in either amount or duration.
(a)    If the Pleasants Closing Date does not occur prior to the Pleasants Transfer Date, the Pleasants Purchaser shall accept beneficial ownership (through a lease, cost-based power purchase agreement, or other mutually agreed upon arrangement) of the Pleasants Power Plant as of the Pleasants Transfer Date.  The Debtors and AE Supply may agree to a Pleasants Transfer Date that is earlier than January 1, 2019.  
(b)    Prior to the Plan Effective Date, AE Supply and the Pleasants Purchaser shall enter into the Pleasants Purchase Agreement, which shall contain terms and conditions, including representations, covenants, closing conditions, and indemnities, that are customary for the purchase and sale of supercritical coal-fired power plants between merchant generators.  The obligation of the Debtors to enter into the Pleasants Purchase Agreement is subject to completion of due diligence of the Pleasants Power Plant to the reasonable satisfaction of the Debtors, the Committee, and the Supporting Parties, with such diligence to be completed by not later than August 26, 2018.  From the Settlement Effective Date through the Pleasants Closing Date, AE Supply shall give the Debtors, the Committee, and the Supporting Parties and their representatives reasonable access at reasonable times to the Pleasants Power Plant and books, records (including financial and operating records) and personnel of the FE Non-Debtor Parties related thereto and permit the Debtors, the Committee, and the Supporting Parties and their representatives to make such inspections thereof as they may from time to time reasonably request (including any investigation of the environmental condition of the properties, including access and information necessary for environmental site assessments in accordance with relevant ASTM standards).  All such access shall be (i) conducted in a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the operations at the Pleasants Power Plant and (ii) upon reasonable notice to AE Supply and shall be at times and in accordance with procedures to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (acting reasonably).  In the event that the Debtors inform AE Supply that they do not intend to enter into the Pleasants Purchase Agreement on or before August 26, 2018, AE Supply shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Pleasants Power Plant to a third party, with the net proceeds of such sale to be paid over to the Debtors.
(c)    AE Supply shall perform, or cause to be performed, in accordance with merchant generator practice and consistent with past practice, the Pleasants Outage.  AE Supply will be responsible for the first $11 million of costs related to the Pleasants Outage incurred after the Settlement Effective Date.  To the extent there are costs related to the Pleasants Outage above $11 million, such costs, up to an aggregate of $25 million (inclusive of the $11 million referenced herein) shall be shared equally by the Debtors and AE Supply.

Page 37 of  64

(d)    The Pleasants Purchase Agreement shall provide that AE Supply shall retain all of its liabilities under environmental laws (excluding any post-transfer changes thereto) with respect to its ownership and operation of Pleasants Power Plant to the extent that such liabilities are based on facts or circumstances occurring prior to the Pleasants Transfer Date (and if occurring or arising only in part on or after the Pleasants Transfer Date, only to the extent of such part); provided, however, that such liabilities include the closure and remediation of McElroy's Run Impoundment except to the extent resulting from the Debtors' violation of environmental laws after the Pleasants Transfer Date; provided, further, that such liabilities exclude (i) all liabilities arising on or after the Pleasants Transfer Date to comply with environmental permits and environmental laws (including any post-transfer changes thereto) with respect to the Pleasants Power Plant, including, but not limited to, those with respect to Effluent Limit Guidelines and (ii) any obligation to contribute to post‐Pleasants Transfer Date capital expenditures in connection with AE Supply's retained liabilities.  The Pleasants Purchase Agreement shall provide that AE Supply shall retain all of its ownership interests in the McElroy's Run Impoundment, and shall include as an exhibit an agreement to provide for the Debtors’ access to the McElroy's Run Impoundment, which agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Parties. 
(e)    The Pleasants Purchase Agreement shall provide that the Pleasants Purchaser shall assume all of the liabilities under environmental laws with respect to the ownership and operation of Pleasants Power Plant to the extent that such liabilities are based on facts or circumstances occurring on or after the Pleasants Transfer Date; provided, that such liabilities shall include all liabilities arising on or after the Pleasants Transfer Date to comply with environmental permits and environmental laws (including any post‐transfer changes thereto) with respect to the Pleasants Power Plant, including, but not limited to, those with respect to Effluent Limit Guidelines.
(f)    The Pleasants Purchase Agreement shall provide that AE Supply shall retain all of its liabilities with respect to coal supply contracts for the Pleasants Power Plant entered into by AE Supply prior to the Pleasants Closing Date; provided, however, that prior to the Pleasants Closing Date, the Debtors shall enter into good faith negotiations with AE Supply's coal supply contract counterparties for the purchase of coal for the Pleasants Power Plant to mitigate any of AE Supply's damages under such coal supply contracts.
(g)    In the event that the Debtors, in consultation with the Committee and the Supporting Parties, decide to pursue a sale of the Pleasants Power Plant to a third party prior to the Pleasants Transfer Date, the FE Non-Debtor Parties agree to cooperate with the Debtors in connection with any such sale, including by transferring ownership of the Pleasants Power Plant and related assets directly to a third party purchaser, provided that the liability of AE Supply and FE Corp. in connection with any such sale is not greater than the liabilities AE Supply and FE Corp. would have incurred in connection with a transfer of the Pleasants Power Plant to the Pleasants Purchaser as contemplated hereby, and provided further that such third party agrees to enter into good faith negotiations with AE Supply's coal supply contract counterparties for the purchase of coal for the Pleasants Power Plant to mitigate any of AE Supply's damages under such coal supply contracts. 

Page 38 of  64

(h)    FE Corp. shall: (i) fully guaranty the indemnity obligations of AE Supply to the Pleasants Purchaser under the Pleasants Purchase Agreement with respect to AE Supply’s obligations in Section 3.1(d) solely with respect to McElroy’s Run Impoundment through the closure and remediation of the McElroy’s Run Impoundment; and (ii) provide a guaranty in an amount equal to $15 million with respect to the indemnity obligations of AE Supply to the Pleasants Purchaser under the Pleasants Purchase Agreement with respect to other retained environmental liabilities (excluding the McElroy’s Run Impoundment) in Section 3.1(d) until the third anniversary of the Pleasants Transfer Date.

TRANSFER OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
Section 8.1      Transfers of Claims and Interests.
(a)    Until the termination of this Agreement, no Supporting Party shall Transfer any Creditor Claims, in whole or in part to any Person, unless such a Transfer is a Permitted Transfer.
(b)    Upon satisfaction of the requirements in Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement, (i) the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to be a Supporting Party hereunder, and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Permitted Transferee is bound as a Supporting Party under this Agreement with respect to any and all Claims against, or interests in, any of the Debtors, whether held at the time such Permitted Transferee becomes a Party or later acquired by such Permitted Transferee, and (ii) the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations, provided, however, that such transferor will not be released from its obligations under Article VI hereof.
(c)    Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement, a Qualified Marketmaker that acquires any Creditor Claims with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Creditor Claims shall not be required to execute and deliver to any of the counsel to the Supporting Parties a Transfer Agreement or Joinder Agreement in respect of such Creditor Claims only if (i) such Qualified Marketmaker subsequently transfers such Creditor Claims (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) within ten (10) business days of its acquisition to a transferee or (ii) the transferee otherwise is a Permitted Transferee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the requirement that such transferee execute a Transfer Agreement).  To the extent that a Supporting Party is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) any right, title, or interest in Creditor Claims that such Supporting Party acquires in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker from a holder of Creditor Claims who is not a Supporting Party without regard to the requirements set forth in Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement.
(d)    This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Supporting Parties from acquiring additional Creditor Claims; provided, however, that (i) any Supporting Party that acquires additional Creditor Claims, as applicable, after Execution of this Agreement, shall notify counsel to each of the Parties of such acquisition, including the amount of such acquisition, which notice may be deemed to be provided by the filing of a statement with the Bankruptcy Court as required by Rule 2019 of the Bankruptcy Rules, including revised holdings information for such Supporting Party and (ii) such additional Creditor Claims shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Supporting Party be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to the respective counsels to the Parties).

Page 46 of  64

(e)    In addition, other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, any holder of Creditor Claims shall become a Party, and become obligated as a Supporting Party, if (i) such holder and FE Corp. execute a Joinder Agreement, and shall be deemed a Supporting Party and (ii) such Joinder Agreement is delivered by FE Corp. to counsel to the each of the Parties within three (3) business days following the execution thereof.
(f)    Any Transfer made in violation of this Article VII shall be null and void ab initio.  Any Supporting Party that effectuates a Permitted Transfer to a Permitted Transferee shall have no liability under this Agreement arising from or related to the failure of the Permitted Transferee to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Supporting Party effects the Permitted Transfer of all of its Creditor Claims in accordance with this Agreement, such Supporting Party shall cease to be a Party to this Agreement in all respects and shall have no further obligation hereunder.

(a)    If any Party believes that the FE Non-Debtor Parties have committed a Fundamental Default, that Party must deliver a Default Notice to each of the other Parties within 14 days of learning of the occurrence of the applicable Fundamental Default.  In the event that such Party fails to deliver a Default Notice to each of the other Parties within 14 days of learning of the occurrence of the Fundamental Default, only such Party shall be deemed to have waived such Fundamental Default.

(ii)    10 business days to cure the failure to issue the New FE Notes pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.4 of the Agreement; provided that such cure period shall be 5 business days with respect to the failure to make the Upfront Payment pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.4 of this Agreement; 
(iii)    10 business days to cure the failure to make any undisputed quarterly payment, including any payment related to the reversal of the 2018 Tax Setoff, or any payment related to the filing of the federal tax return under the Tax Allocation Agreement when obligated for the tax year 2018, and any future tax year, if any, during which a Debtor (or its income and losses) is included on the FE Consolidated Tax Group tax return;
(iv)    10 business days to cure any failure to substantially perform under the Amended SSA; 
(v)    30 business days to cure taking of the Worthless Stock Deduction in violation of Section 2.3(a)(iii) of the Agreement, the cure for such default being the filing of an amended tax return and the taking of any other necessary action; and

Page 55 of  64

(vi)    45 business days to cure the failure to transfer the rights, title and interests in the Pleasants Power Plant and related assets to the Debtors' estates due to the FE Non-Debtor Parties' breach of the Pleasants Purchase Agreement, as described in Section 3.1 of this Agreement (including the transfer of the beneficial ownership of the Pleasants Power Plant on the Pleasants Transfer Date through a lease, cost-based power purchase agreement, or other mutually agreed upon arrangement).
(vii)    30 business days to cure all other Fundamental Defaults. 
Section 12.3      Plan Effective Date Insufficiency Notice.  
(a)    In the event that, after receipt of a Plan Effective Date Notice, the FE Non-Debtor Parties believe, in their reasonable judgment, that the conditions of Section 10.2 of this Agreement will not be met by the proposed Plan Effective Date listed in the Plan Effective Date Notice, the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall provide the other Parties with a Plan Effective Date Insufficiency Notice no later than:  (i) 14 days prior to the proposed Plan Effective Date listed in the Plan Effective Date Notice; or (ii) as soon as practicable if the FE Non-Debtor Parties reach such judgment less than 14 days prior to the proposed Plan Effective Date listed in the Plan Effective Date Notice.  
(b)    The Plan Effective Date Insufficiency Notice shall serve as notice that the FE Non-Debtor Parties reasonably believe that they are not required to tender the performance due on the Plan Effective Date pursuant to this Agreement.  
(c)    In the event that the FE Non-Debtor Parties deliver a Plan Effective Date Insufficiency Notice that is disputed by the Debtors:  (i) the Parties agree that the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the conditions contained in Section 10.2 of this Agreement have been satisfied; (ii) the Parties agree that the hearing regarding whether the conditions contained in Section 10.2 of this Agreement shall be scheduled on an expedited basis; and (iii) the Plan Effective Date may not occur until the Bankruptcy Court holds that the conditions contained in Section 10.2 of this Agreement have been satisfied or if the Parties agree that the conditions have been satisfied, provided, that, if the Bankruptcy Court holds that the conditions of Section 10.2 of this Agreement have been satisfied, the Parties will cooperate to schedule the Plan Effective Date with the goal of allowing each Party to perform its obligations due on the Plan Effective Date.

Section 12.4      Resolution of Class A Fundamental Defaults.
(a)    Subject to the exception discussed in Section 12.4(c) of this Agreement, in the event that: (i) a proper Default Notice alleging a Class A Fundamental Default has been served on the Parties and (ii) such Class A Fundamental Default is not cured within the time frame provided in Section 12.2(c) of this Agreement, any Party may file a motion in the Bankruptcy Cases seeking the Bankruptcy Court's determination regarding whether a Class A Fundamental Default as described in the Default Notice has occurred.  The Parties agree that an 

Page 56 of  64

evidentiary hearing regarding whether a Class A Fundamental Default has occurred shall be scheduled at the Bankruptcy Court's earliest convenience.  
(b)    In the event that a Party files a motion pursuant to Section 12.4(a) of this Agreement and the Bankruptcy Court rules that the FE Non-Debtor Parties have committed a Class A Fundamental Default, the Debtors, in consultation with the Committee and the Supporting Parties, or the Committee and/or the Supporting Parties if granted authority to pursue rights and remedies under this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.9 of this Agreement, may either (i):  terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, as applicable, and 11.7; or (ii) seek specific performance of the Class A Fundamental Default.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall preclude the Debtors from seeking specific performance or any other remedies against the FE Non-Debtor Parties for a Class A Fundamental Default, provided, however, that if the Debtors elect to receive specific performance, and the FE Non-Debtor Parties perform, the Party Releases shall not be revoked.
(c)    Solely in the event that:  (i) a Class A Fundamental Default occurs on the Plan Effective Date; (ii) (A) the FE Non-Debtor Parties did not provide a Plan Effective Date Insufficiency Notice pursuant to Section 12.3 of this Agreement prior to the Plan Effective Date, or, (B) if the FE Non-Debtor Parties did provide such notice, the Bankruptcy Court subsequently ruled that the conditions provided in Section 10.2 of this Agreement have been satisfied, and (iii) the FE Non-Debtor Parties either:  (x) in the case of (ii)(A) above, do not cure such Class A Fundamental Default within the applicable time frame provided by Section 12.2(c) of this Agreement or such other time as the Bankruptcy Court may order prior to the expiration of applicable the cure period set forth in Section 12.2(c) or (y) in the case of (ii)(B) above, fail to reasonably cooperate in scheduling the Plan Effective Date pursuant to Section 12.3 of this Agreement or perform its obligations due on the mutually agreed upon Plan Effective Date, the Debtors may declare that a Class A Fundamental Default has occurred and, in consultation with the Committee and the Supporting Parties, immediately terminate this Agreement, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.7 of this Agreement. 
Section 12.5      Resolution of Class B Fundamental Defaults.
(a)    The Parties agree that if the Bankruptcy Court determines that a Class B Fundamental Default has occurred, the Bankruptcy Court must also determine the actions, or set forth a process for determining, payments, or combination thereof that will cure that default.  

Page 57 of  64

(b)    In the event that:  (i) a proper Default Notice alleging a Class B Fundamental Default is provided to the Parties and (ii) the FE Non-Debtor Parties do not cure such Class B Fundamental Default pursuant to the Default Notice within the time frames provided by Section 12.2(c) of this Agreement, the Party who provided the Default Notice may file a motion in the Bankruptcy Cases for a determination of:  (i) whether a Class B Fundamental Default Occurred and (ii) the proper cure of such Class B Fundamental Default.  The Parties agree that an evidentiary hearing regarding whether a Class B Fundamental Default has occurred and the proper cure of such Class B Fundamental Default shall be scheduled on an expedited basis, with the goal of having such hearing within 45 days of the expiration of the cure period provided by Section 12.2(c) of this Agreement.    
(c)    In the event that a Party files a motion in the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 12.5(b) of this Agreement and the Bankruptcy Court determines:  (i) that a Class B Fundamental Default has occurred; and (ii) the proper cure of such Class B Fundamental Default, the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall have ten business days, or such other time deemed reasonable by the Bankruptcy Court, to comply with the Bankruptcy Court's order.  In the event that the FE Non-Debtor Parties do not comply with Bankruptcy Court's order within such time frame, the Debtors, in consultation with the Committee and the Supporting Parties, or the Committee and/or the Supporting Parties if granted authority to pursue rights and remedies under this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.9 of this Agreement, may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 11.3 and 11.4, as applicable, and 11.7.
Section 12.6      Other Defaults.  
(a)    If any Party believes that another Party is in default of its obligations under the Agreement, other than a Fundamental Default, that Party must deliver a Default Notice within 21 days of learning of the occurrence of the applicable default.  The Default Notice must:  (i) identify separately and with specificity each and every default of which the non-defaulting Party is aware; and (ii) for each default, identify the date on which the non-defaulting Party learned of the default.  In the event that such Party fails to deliver a Default Notice to each of the other Parties within 21 days of learning of the possible occurrence of a default other than a Fundamental Default, only such Party shall be deemed to have waived such default.  
(b)    Upon receipt of a Default Notice, the defaulting Party shall have the Cure Period to cure such default through performance of the applicable obligation or covenant.
(c)     If a default identified in a Default Notice is not cured under Section 12.6(b) of this Agreement within the Cure Period, the defaulting Party, the non-defaulting Party who provided the Default Notice and any other non-defaulting Party who chooses to participate shall, for a period of 10 days, engage in good faith discussions and negotiations in an attempt to resolve the default and any disputes related to the Default Notice.  If, after that 10-day period, the defaulting Party and the non-defaulting Party who provided the Default Notice have been unable to reach a resolution, the Party who provided the Default Notice may file a motion in the Bankruptcy Cases for a determination of whether a default as described in the Default Notice has occurred.  

Page 58 of  64

Section 12.7      Resolution of Other Defaults.
(a)    The Parties agree that if the Bankruptcy Court determines that a default (other than a Fundamental Default) under the Agreement has occurred, the Bankruptcy Court must also determine the actions, payments, or combination thereof that the Bankruptcy Court finds will cure that default.  
(b)    If the Bankruptcy Court enters an order determining that a Party is in default, but not because of a Fundamental Default, of its obligations under the Agreement, the defaulting Party may, in its sole discretion, perform the actions, payments or combination thereof that the Bankruptcy Court finds in such order will cure that default unless such Party obtains a stay pending the Party's appeal of the decision of the Bankruptcy Court.   
Section 12.8      Settlement Effective Date, Condition Failure Scenarios, or Adverse Rulings.  Upon the learning of the occurrence or existence of:  (a) the failure of the Debtors to obtain the Settlement Approval Order on or prior to September 28, 2018, pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement, (b) a Condition Failure Scenario, or (c) an Adverse Ruling, the FE Non-Debtor Parties or the Debtors, as applicable, must promptly provide written notice of such occurrence to the other Parties.  Upon receipt of such written notice by all of the applicable Parties, the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall then have 30 days to determine, in their sole discretion, whether (i) to waive the occurrence described in (a), (b), or (c) in the preceding sentence or (ii) to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.2 of this Agreement.  In the event that the FE Non-Debtor Parties do not terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.2 within 30 days of the receipt of written notice of such occurrence, such occurrence (including all underlying facts and events) will be deemed waived by the FE Non-Debtor Parties for all purposes hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding the expiration of the foregoing 30‐day period, the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall not be deemed to waive any rights under Section 11.6.  For the purposes of this Section 12.8 the Debtors and the FE Non-Debtor Parties agree that they will not take the position that this Section 12.8 is not binding due to the Settlement Approval Order having not been entered.  
Section 12.9      Controlling Party.  In the event of any dispute between the FE Non-Debtor Parties, on the one hand, and any of the other Parties, on the other hand, subject to the provisions of this Article XII, the Debtors shall have the sole and exclusive right to act on behalf of all Parties other than the FE Non-Debtor Parties for all purposes under this Article XII, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of rights and remedies against the FE Non-Debtor Parties as set forth in this Article XII; provided, that the Debtors shall consult with the Committee and the Supporting Parties in connection with any such actions, and provided, further, that the Committee and the Supporting Parties may petition the Bankruptcy Court for the right to pursue rights and remedies to the extent the Committee or the Supporting Parties believes that the Debtors are failing to proceed in a commercially reasonable manner in respect of enforcing any rights or remedies under this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Committee and the Supporting Parties may seek relief against the Debtors under the provisions of this Article XII for any defaults by the Debtors under this Agreement.

(c)    Nothing contained in this Agreement, including the FE Non-Debtor Parties' payment obligations under Article II hereof, shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any other Person.
Section 13.2      No Admissions.

(b)    This Agreement, the fact of its existence, any documents related hereto, the Settlement Approval Order and the FES Plan Documents shall in no event be deemed a presumption, concession, or admission by the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties of (i) any fault, liability, or wrongdoing as to any facts, Claims or contentions that have been or might be alleged or asserted in connection with the various disputes that are the subject of this Agreement and the released Causes of Action or (ii) any infirmity in the defenses that the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties could have asserted, and shall not be interpreted, construed, deemed, invoked, offered, or received in evidence or otherwise used in any manner by any Person, or in any other action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or administrative, for any purpose other than to enforce the terms of this Agreement, and for the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties to argue that it has res judicata, collateral estoppel, or other issue or claim preclusion effect.
Section 13.3      Fees and Expenses.

EXHIBIT A
 
AGREED TERMS OF RESOLUTION OF MANSFIELD IT CLAIMS
The ad hoc group of holders of the 6.85% pass-through certificates (the "Mansfield Certificateholders Group") issued in connection with the Bruce Mansfield Unit 1 leveraged lease transaction (the "Leveraged Lease Transaction") and the ad hoc group of holders of pollution control and corporate notes (the "Ad Hoc Noteholder Group" and, together with the Mansfield Certificateholders Group, the "Parties") hereby agree to support a resolution of Claims (the "Mansfield IT Claims") held by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB in its capacity as lease indenture trustees under the Bruce Mansfield leveraged lease documents (the "Mansfield ITs") on the terms set forth herein, subject to acceptable documentation in definitive agreements.  This agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties, and is protected by Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and all other applicable statutes or doctrines protecting the use or disclosure of confidential settlement discussions.
		
	•
	Treatment of the Undivided Interest:  In consideration of the treatment of the Mansfield IT Claims set forth herein, the following property shall be deemed and treated as unencumbered property of the Debtors' estates:  (a) the 93.825% undivided interest in Unit 1 of the Bruce Mansfield Facility that is the subject of the Leveraged Lease Transaction and (b) any and all insurance proceeds to which the Mansfield ITs might otherwise be entitled on account of its rights under the Leveraged Lease Transaction.

		
	•
	Claim Amount:  The Mansfield IT Claims will be allowed in the amount of $786,763,400, i.e., the outstanding amount of principal and accrued interest on the pass‐through certificates as of the petition date (the "Allowed Mansfield IT Claims").

		
	•
	Liable Debtors and Priority:  The Allowed Mansfield IT Claims will be allowed as unsecured Claims against each of FirstEnergy Generation Mansfield Unit 1 Corp. ("BMU1C"), FirstEnergy Generation, LLC ("FG"), FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC ("NG"), and FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. ("FES"), as unsecured Claims.

		
	•
	Support Obligations:  The proposal set forth herein shall be incorporated into a chapter 11 plan and/or settlement pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Parties and the Mansfield ITs (such a plan or settlement, including all exhibits and supplements thereto, an "Acceptable Plan").  The Parties shall use best efforts to negotiate, and cause the Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "UCC") appointed in the Debtors' cases to become party to, a restructuring support agreement (the "RSA") pursuant to which the Parties, the Debtors, and the UCC agree to support confirmation or approval of such Acceptable Plan, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the RSA.

		
	•
	Sharing of BMU1C Recovery:  The Parties agree that any recovery to the Mansfield ITs on account of the Mansfield IT Claims against BMU1C shall be shared pro rata by the Mansfield ITs and the holders of unsecured pollution control notes and FES corporate bonds, based on the proportion that the allowed amounts of each of the Mansfield IT Claims (as allowed pursuant hereto), on the one hand, and unsecured pollution control notes and FES corporate bonds, on the other, in each case against FES, bear to the aggregate allowed amount of Mansfield IT Claims, unsecured pollution control notes, and FES corporate bonds at FES.

		
	•
	Treatment of Secured PCN Claims:  The Parties agree that to the extent that an Acceptable Plan includes a chapter 11 plan of reorganization that includes the continued ownership by the reorganized Debtors of the generating assets of FG and/or NG, the PCNs secured by such assets shall be paid in full (which payment may be in the form of replacement notes or reinstatement of the PCNs).  The Parties shall work in good faith to incorporate into an Acceptable Plan mutually agreeable terms consistent with this provision.

		
	•
	Litigation Standstill:  The Parties agree that upon the effectiveness of the RSA, the parties thereto shall cease and desist from any and all ongoing litigation activities, including activities contemplated by the Mansfield Issues Protocol, with respect to the allowance and priority status of the Mansfield IT Claims, except to the extent the Mansfield IT Claims are the subject of an objection or other litigation at such time or thereafter.

		
	•
	Capital Support:  The Parties agree that any capital or credit support for regulatory obligations required in respect of the nuclear assets owned by NG shall, to the extent not required or used for such purpose, be made available for distribution to the Debtors' existing unsecured creditors (whether or not such distribution occurs prior to, upon, or after the Debtors' emergence from chapter 11).  The Parties shall work in good faith to incorporate into an Acceptable Plan mutually agreeable terms consistent with this provision.

		
	•
	Coordination:  The Mansfield Certificateholders Group and Ad Hoc Noteholder Group agree to reasonably cooperate and coordinate in negotiations with the Debtors and the Committee on all material issues concerning the Debtors' restructuring, including, without limitation, pursuit of a chapter 11 plan, material asset sales, exit financing, Claims resolution, and valuation matters

ORDER GRANTING MOTION OF DEBTORS TO APPROVE SETTLEMENT  
AMONG THE DEBTORS, NON-DEBTOR AFFILIATES AND CERTAIN OTHER SETTLEMENT PARTIES PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, 365, AND 502 AND RULE 9019 OF THE FEDERAL RULES OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEDURE

Upon consideration of the Motion of Debtors to Approve Settlement Among the Debtors, Non-Debtor Affiliates and Certain Other Settlement Parties Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, 365 and 502 and Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Motion”)6 for an order (this Order”) approving the settlement agreement attached to this Order as Exhibit 1 (the “Settlement Agreement”) as more fully described in the Motion; the Court having reviewed the Motion and the Declaration of Charles Moore in Support of the Motion of Debtors to Approve Settlement Among the Debtors and the Settlement Parties Pursuant to Rule 9019 of the Federal

5  The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases, along with the last four digits of each Debtor’s federal tax identification number, are: FE Aircraft Leasing Corp. (9245), case no. 18-50759; FirstEnergy Generation, LLC (0561), case no. 18-50762; FirstEnergy Generation Mansfield Unit 1 Corp. (5914), case no. 18-50763; FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC (6394), case no. 18-50760; FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (1483), case no. 18-50761; FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. (0186); and Norton Energy Storage LLC (6928), case no. 18-50764.  The Debtors’ address is 341 White Pond Dr., Akron, OH 44320.
6 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Motion. 

Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure; and the Court having found that it has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334; and the Court having found that this is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2); and the Court having found that venue of the cases and the Motion in this district is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409; and the Court having found that the Debtors provided appropriate notice of the Motion and the opportunity for hearing on the Motion under the circumstances; and the Court having determined that the legal and factual bases set forth in the Motion and the evidence presented at the hearing on the Motion establish just cause for the relief granted herein; and upon all of the proceedings had before this Court; and after due deliberation and sufficient cause appearing therefor, it is HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT:7 
A.The Court has jurisdiction to consider the Motion and the relief requested therein pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. 
B.The Motion is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b). 
C.Venue is proper before the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 
D.Notice of the Motion, the Settlement Agreement, the Amended SSA, the Separation Agreement, the hearing on the Motion, and the form of this Order was adequate and appropriate in all respects and constitutes due, proper, sufficient and timely notice of the Motion, the transactions contemplated thereby and the relief requested therein to all persons entitled thereto in accordance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.  No other or further notice

7 Findings of fact shall be construed as conclusions of law and conclusions of law shall be construed as findings of fact when appropriate.  See Fed R. Bankr. P. 7052. 

 of the Motion, the Settlement Agreement, the Amended SSA, the Separation Agreement, the hearing on the Motion, or this Order is necessary. 
E.The Independent Directors have undertaken a thorough, independent review of the settlements and compromises contained in the Settlement Agreement, including, but not limited to, the settlements and compromises between the Debtors and the FE Non-Debtor Parties, and have determined, in the valid exercise of their business judgment, that entry into the Settlement Agreement is in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates and their creditors.  In exercising these responsibilities, the Independent Directors were represented by separate independent counsel (the law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP).  
F.Given the facts and circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases and the nature of the claims and causes of action that may be asserted by or on behalf of the Debtors and their estates against the FE Non-Debtor Parties, the compromises contained in the Settlement Agreement are fair, reasonable and adequate, in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates and their creditors, and represent a valid and proper exercise of the business judgment of the Debtors and their Independent Directors.  In light of the facts and circumstances of the cases, the consideration received by the Debtors under the Settlement Agreement represents reasonably equivalent value for the claims against the FE Non-Debtor Parties that the Debtors are releasing and the other consideration that the Debtors are providing. 
G.The Settlement Agreement confers substantial benefits on the Debtors’ estates, by, among other things, providing for: (i) the resolution of the potential claims and causes of action the Debtors and their estates may have against the FE Non-Debtor Parties, on a negotiated basis, and on terms negotiated at arm’s length among the majority of constituencies in these Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) the provision of more than $1.1 billion of total value to the Debtors’ estates by the FE Non-

Debtor Parties through consideration provided under the Settlement Agreement, including cash and debt contributions, the transfer of the economic value of the Pleasants Power Plant, additional support services (and credits for such services) and the waiver of all prepetition and certain postpetition claims against the Debtors; (iii) certainty for the Debtors’ estates regarding the continued provision of shared services by FE Corp. and cooperation on separation activities as the Debtors pursue a successful reorganization; and (iv) the elimination of the substantial expense, delay (including by virtue of potential multiple appeals arising from any judgment that might be obtained if the claims and causes of action were pursued) and risk of loss associated with litigation of the foregoing matters. 
H.The Debtors’ performance of their obligations under the Settlement Agreement, including the Debtors’ decision to enter into the Separation Agreement and assume the Amended SSA, their performance of obligations related to the Pleasants Power Plant, and their use of estate funds to satisfy obligations under all of the foregoing agreements, is a sound exercise of the Debtors’ business judgment. 
I.The compromise and settlement of claims set forth in the Settlement Agreement substantially exceeds the lowest point in the range of reasonableness.  The benefits and consideration that the FE Non-Debtor Parties will provide under the Settlement Agreement are fair, equitable, and constitute adequate consideration for the releases and other consideration that the FE Non-Debtor Parties are to receive under the Settlement Agreement and constitute reasonably equivalent value therefor. 
J.The settlement and compromises set forth in the Settlement Agreement are fair and reasonable to, and are in the best interests of, the Debtors and their estates, the other Settlement Parties and the Debtors’ secured and unsecured creditors.  The Settlement Parties have exercised 

their respective rights and powers, and used the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances.  There is no bona fide basis for any claims or actions against the Debtors, the Supporting Parties, the Committee (or its members) or the FE Non-Debtor Parties arising out of their participation in the negotiation and implementation of the relief requested in the Motion. 
K.The settlement and compromises set forth in the Settlement Agreement are the product of arm’s-length negotiations between sophisticated parties, represented by capable counsel and other advisors. 
L.Upon entry of this Order, each of the Debtors and each of the other Settlement Parties (i) has full power and authority to enter into and perform all of their obligations under the Settlement Agreement and all other documents contemplated thereby, (ii) has full power and authority to take any and all actions necessary to authorize and approve the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and has requested and obtained all necessary approvals required to do so, and (iii) is legally authorized to enter into and perform the Settlement Agreement, the Amended SSA and the Separation Agreement and to take any and all actions necessary to authorize, approve and implement the Settlement Agreement, the Amended SSA and the Separation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.  
M.The Settlement Agreement and entry of this Order represent a global settlement of multiple litigable issues on an integrated basis.  The various settlements and compromises embodied in the Settlement Agreement and this Order are considered by the Settlement Parties on an integrated basis and cannot be severed from one another and considered in isolation. 

N.Based on the findings set forth above, as well as the record before this Court, the Court hereby concludes as a matter of law that the Settlement Agreement satisfies the legal requirements for approval of a settlement under Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a). 
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS FOLLOWS: 
1.The Motion is granted as set forth herein, and any objections to the Motion not previously withdrawn, waived or settled, and all reservations of rights included therein, are hereby overruled with prejudice. 
2.Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the Settlement Agreement, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, is hereby approved in its entirety, and the failure to specifically describe or include herein any particular provision in the Settlement Agreement shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of any such provision.  The Settlement Agreement shall be fully binding on and effective as to each and all of the Settlement Parties.  
3.The settlement and compromises set forth in the Settlement Agreement, and the execution and delivery of the Settlement Agreement, the Amended SSA and the Separation Agreement by the Settlement Parties, are hereby approved.
4.The Debtors and each of the other Settlement Parties are authorized and directed to execute, deliver, implement, and fully perform any and all obligations, instruments, documents, and papers and to take any and all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate, complete, execute, and implement the Settlement Agreement, the Amended SSA and the Separation Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
5.This Order (including the Settlement Agreement attached hereto), together with all of the findings of fact and conclusions of law contained herein and as set forth on the record of the hearing on the Motion, is and shall be final, binding and effective on all parties in interest in the 

Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases (including, but not limited to, any subsequently appointed chapter 11 or chapter 7 trustee or any representative of any of the Debtors’ estates appointed pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1123), as well as on each of the Settlement Parties and each of their present and former parents, affiliates, direct and indirect subsidiaries, directors, shareholders, officers, managers, predecessors, successors and assigns.  
6.The Party Releases (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) contained in Section 6.1 of the Settlement Agreement are hereby approved.  Subject to Sections 11.7, 12.4 and 12.5 of the Settlement Agreement, each of the Parties to the Settlement Agreement (other than the FE Non-Debtor Parties) shall be deemed to have released the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) of and from all claims and Causes of Action (as defined in the Settlement Agreement), that could be asserted against any of the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties by any of the Settlement Parties (other than the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties) as of the Settlement Effective Date based on or in any way relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, or out of (i) any Debtor, their businesses, or their property; (ii) any claims or Causes of Action against the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties or their property arising in connection with any intercompany transactions or other matters arising in or related to the conduct of the Debtors’ business; or (iii) the formulation, preparation, negotiation, dissemination, implementation, administration, or consummation of the Settlement Agreement, or other agreement or document related to the Settlement Agreement or the claims or Causes of Action resolved by the Settlement Agreement; provided, however, that the Party Releases granted herein shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, without further order of this Court, if the Settlement Agreement is properly terminated in accordance with the terms set forth therein, except that, only the Party Releases granted by the Bruce Mansfield Certificateholders Group shall become null and void and 

of no further force and effect if this Agreement is properly partially terminated pursuant to Section 11.5 of the Settlement Agreement in accordance with Section 11.7 of the Settlement Agreement.  
7.In the event of a Condition Failure Scenario or an Adverse Ruling and termination of the Settlement Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2 thereof, the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement on a superpriority administrative expense basis for the actual costs of goods and services provided to the Debtors pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.  However, in the event that the Settlement Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.7, as provided in Sections 11.3, 11.4, or 11.6, thereof, the FE Non-Debtor Parties shall not be entitled to reimbursement on a superpriority administrative expense basis.
8.Each of the Settlement Parties and each of their respective present and former parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, shareholders, lawyers, financial advisors, consultants, representatives, agents, officers, managers, members, predecessors, successors and assigns, shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims, demands, suits, actions or causes of action arising out of their participation in the negotiation, preparation and implementation of the Settlement Agreement, and the relief requested in the Motion. 
9.To the extent of any inconsistency between this Order and the Settlement Agreement, the Settlement Agreement shall govern. 
10.This Order shall constitute findings of fact and conclusions of law (in addition to such findings and conclusions as stated on the record of the hearing on the Motion) and, notwithstanding the possible applicability of any provision of the Bankruptcy Rules, the terms and conditions of this Order shall be immediately effective and enforceable upon its entry. 
11.Each of the Settlement Parties (other than the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties) is barred from pursuing, commencing, or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding 

against the FE Non-Debtor Released Parties (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) on account of, in connection with, or with respect to any claims or Causes of Action that are released pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Settlement Agreement and this Order; provided, that nothing herein shall bar or enjoin the pursuit, commencement, or continuation of any action or other proceeding on account of or in connection with any Cause of Action for which the release under Section 6.1 is revoked in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement.  
12.The Settlement Agreement and this Order constitute and evidence the valid and binding obligations of the Settlement Parties, which obligations are essential to the Debtors' reorganization and shall be enforceable by each Settlement Party against each other Settlement Party in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement and this Order.
13.Neither the Settlement Agreement nor this Order shall be deemed a presumption, concession, or admission by any Settlement Party of (i) any fault, liability, or wrongdoing as to any facts, claims, or contentions that have been or might be alleged or asserted in connection with the various disputes that are the subject of the Settlement Agreement and releases set forth therein or (ii) any infirmity in the claims or defenses that any Settlement Party could have asserted in any other action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or administrative.
14.The failure to mention any provision of the Settlement Agreement in this Order shall not impair its efficacy, it being the intent and effect of this Order that the Settlement Agreement and the compromises and agreements contained therein are approved in all respects and all relief contemplated by the Settlement Agreement is hereby granted.
15.Nothing contained in the Settlement Agreement, including the FE Non-Debtor Parties’ payment obligations under Article II thereof, shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any other Person.

16.The effect of this Order shall survive the conversion, dismissal, and/or closing of these Chapter 11 Cases, appointment of a chapter 11 trustee, confirmation of a plan of reorganization or liquidation, and/or the substantive consolidation of some or all of these Chapter 11 Cases, including with any other case or cases. 
17.The Settlement Parties are authorized to take all actions necessary to comply with the terms of the Settlement without the need for further orders from this Court.
18.This Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to all matters arising from or related to the implementation of this Order or the Settlement Agreement.
