	The
Price shall be
$

to                        .

	6.3
	In
the event that the basis for the GDP-IPD is substantially modified or the Index is discontinued, the appropriate adjustment to the Index Value or selection of a
substitute index, as applicable, shall be made by agreement of the Parties. If the Index is converted from one base period to a new base period, U.S. Department of Commerce re-basing
factors will be applied so that the basis for determining the percent change between the Index figures is not altered.

	Under
these price adjustment provisions, the percentage change from the Base Index Value to the Index Value at time of Delivery will be calculated and rounded to three (3) decimal
places and all dollar values calculated and rounded to two (2) decimal places. If the first digit discarded is less than five (5), then the last digit retained shall not be changed; if the first digit
discarded is greater than five (5), and if such first digit is five (5) and is followed by at least one digit other than zero, then the last digit retained shall be increased by one. See

U308 delivered hereunder will meet the Convertor's specifications in effect at the time of Delivery.            shall not be obligated to accept or pay for U308 delivered
hereunder unless such U308 meets such Convertor's specifications, or as otherwise has been accepted by Convertor. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Contract to the contrary, in the event
that any U308 delivered under this Contract is acceptable to the Convertor, only if defined surcharges and treatment charges are paid, URI shall pay or cause to be paid such treatment charges or

to                        specifying the events of default, and provided such default substantially impairs
the value of the whole Contract, then URI shall have the option, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies, to

this Contract or such Delivery, and the damages payable to URI by                        shall be limited to the amount, if any,
