6
Deed to Secure Debt

charges and surcharges (nonbypassable or otherwise); (B) the cash proceeds collected, and accounts receivable arising, from such rights and property interests; (C) all rights to assign, sell, convey or otherwise transfer any or all of such rights and property interests in connection with the issuance and sale of any debt obligations the repayment of which is to be secured by any or all of such rights and property interests and the proceeds therefrom; and (D) all cash proceeds from the issuance and sale of any such debt obligations (items (A) through (D), collectively, the “Securitization Property”).
SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to Permitted Liens.  
UPON CONDITION that, until the happening of an Event of Default and subject to the provisions of Article V of this Deed to Secure Debt, and not in limitation of the rights elsewhere provided in this Deed to Secure Debt, including the rights set forth in Article V of this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantor shall be permitted to possess, use, manage, operate and enjoy the Secured Property.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, should the indebtedness evidenced by the FFB Promissory Note be Indefeasibly Paid in cash in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations and other obligations that expressly survive termination of the applicable documents), all commitments of FFB to the Grantor under the Note Purchase Agreement and the other FFB Credit Facility Documents be terminated, and the Grantor shall have Indefeasibly Paid in cash all sums due from the Grantor under the Loan Guarantee Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations and other obligations that expressly survive termination of the applicable documents), then this Deed to Secure Debt shall be cancelled and surrendered, and the Grantee shall execute and deliver to the Grantor such instruments as the Grantor shall require to evidence such cancellation and surrender.  The term “Indefeasibly Paid” means paid by the Borrower and with respect to such payment (i) more than 90 days have passed since the date such payment was made without there having been filed any Insolvency Proceeding (as defined in the Loan Guarantee Agreement) with respect to the Borrower, or (ii) in the event any Insolvency Proceeding shall have been filed with respect to such Borrower within 90 days of the date of such payment, no claim of avoidance with respect to such payment under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Owners Direct Agreement) shall have been made before the expiration of the applicable period prescribed in Section 546(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
This Deed to Secure Debt is intended to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing the title to the Secured Property to Grantee and is made under those provisions of the existing laws of the State relating to deeds to secure debt and is not a mortgage.  This Deed to Secure Debt is also a security agreement granting a present and continuing security interest and security title in the portion of the Secured Property constituting personal property or fixtures.
III
GENERAL AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS
3.1.Payment and Performance.  Grantor shall pay promptly as and when due all amounts owing by Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations at the times and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents and shall perform the obligations of Grantor in full when they 

7
Deed to Secure Debt

are required to be performed pursuant to the Loan Documents, subject to any applicable grace period, cure period or cure right provided for such payment or performance in any Loan Document.
3.2.Other Covenants.  Grantor shall comply with any and all covenants applicable to Grantor and the Secured Property set forth in the Loan Documents, subject to any applicable grace period, cure period and cure right provided therefor.
3.3.Uniform Commercial Code.
(a)This Deed to Secure Debt constitutes a Security Agreement as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code in the State (the “Code”) with respect to any part of the Secured Property which may or might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or property other than real property (including all replacements thereof, additions thereto and substitutions therefor) (collectively, the “Personal Property Collateral”).  Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a security interest in the Personal Property Collateral.  All of Grantor’s right, title and interest in the Personal Property Collateral is hereby assigned to Grantee to secure the payment of the Secured Obligations.  The Grantor shall and Grantee may cause to be recorded in the county in which the Premises are located, as well as with the applicable offices of the State, such financing statements and fixture filings as shall be necessary or desirable in order to establish, maintain, preserve, protect and continue the validity, perfection and priority of Grantee’s Lien upon the Personal Property Collateral.
(b)At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing, Grantee shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Code, including without limitation the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Personal Property Collateral or any part thereof.  The remedies of Grantee hereunder are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under the Code shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of the Grantee, including having the Personal Property Collateral deemed part of the real property upon any foreclosure so long as any part of the Secured Obligations remains unsatisfied.
3.4.Ownership of the Secured Property.
(a)The Grantor represents and warrants that, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Deed to Secure Debt, the Grantor (i) owns fee simple title to that portion of the Secured Property constituting real property, and (ii) owns valid legal and beneficial or equitable title to that portion of the Secured Property constituting personal property (tangible and intangible) of the Grantor, in each case free and clear of any other Liens of any kind except for Permitted Liens.
(b)The Grantor represents and warrants that the Improvements constituting real property that are part of the Secured Property are located only on the Premises. 
(c)The Grantor covenants and agrees that it shall, subject to the provisions of Article V, establish, maintain, preserve, protect and continue the validity, perfection and priority of the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt at all times prior to the date this Deed to Secure Debt is required to be cancelled and surrendered pursuant to Article II.

Deed to Secure Debt

3.5.Further Assurances.  Grantor agrees that, upon the request of Grantee from time to time, it will, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments and further assurances of title and will do or cause to be done all such further acts and things as may reasonably be necessary to fully effectuate the intent of this Deed to Secure Debt.  In the event that Grantor shall fail to do any of the foregoing, after giving effect to any applicable grace period, cure period and cure right provided therefor in any Loan Document, Grantee may, in its sole discretion, do so in the name of Grantor, and Grantor hereby appoints Grantee as its attorney-in-fact to do any of the foregoing.
IV
EVENT OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
4.1.Event of Default.  The occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Loan Guarantee Agreement), shall constitute an “Event of Default” for all purposes under this Deed to Secure Debt.  The Secured Obligations shall be subject to acceleration by DOE upon an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of the Loan Guarantee Agreement.
4.2.Foreclosure/Power of Sale.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Grantee shall have the right to foreclose the lien hereof, either by judicial action or by power of sale, for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof and/or exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Deed to Secure Debt or any of the other Loan Documents.  At any such foreclosure, Grantee, at its option, may sell the Secured Property at public sale or sales before the door of the courthouse in the county in which the Secured Property or any part of the Secured Property is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Secured Obligations, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a legal organ in which Sheriff’s sales are advertised in said county.  Grantee may bid for and acquire the Secured Property or any part thereof at any sale made under or by virtue of this Deed to Secure Debt and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price the unpaid amounts due and owing in respect of the Secured Obligations or any other liabilities after deducting from the sales price the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action or proceedings and any other sums that Grantee is authorized to deduct under this Deed to Secure Debt or applicable law.  At any such public sale, Grantee may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Secured Property, and to this end, Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Grantee the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all right, title, interest, equity and equity of redemption that Grantor may have in and to the Secured Property and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor.  The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by dissolution, insolvency or otherwise, and are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for collection of the indebtedness secured hereby.  In the event of any such foreclosure sale by Grantee, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.  The purchaser or purchasers at such sale (a) must be financially responsible, as determined by Grantee, taking into 

9
Deed to Secure Debt

account the remaining obligations at the time of such sale under the Ownership Agreement, the Operating Agreement and the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, and (b) must become a party or parties to each such agreement, and assume (i) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Ownership Agreement as a “Participating Party” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” (as those terms are defined in the Ownership Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, (ii) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Operating Agreement solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” (as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, (iii) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Declaration of Covenants as an “Additional Units Owner” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s ownership interest in the “Additional Units Property” (as those terms are defined in the Declaration of Covenants) acquired by such purchaser, (iv) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement solely as a “Participant” with respect to the portion of Grantor’s “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Additional Units” and related facilities, equipment, inventory and common facilities (as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement) acquired by such purchaser, and (v) the rights and obligations of Grantor under the Development Agreement as a “Participating Party” solely with respect to the portion of Grantor’s ownership interest in the Additional Units (as those terms are defined in the Development Agreement), in each of the foregoing cases (i) through (v) arising from and after the date of such assumption.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.2 requires or permits Grantee or such purchaser, to accede to (1) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Agent” under and as defined in the Ownership Agreement, (2) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Agent” under and as defined in the Operating Agreement, (3) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participating Party” with respect to its “Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” under and as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement, (4) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as an “Existing Units Owner” under and as defined in the Declaration of Covenants, (5) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Additional Units Agent” under and as defined in the Declaration of Covenants, (6) the rights and obligations of the Grantor under Paragraph 3(d) of the Declaration of Covenants, (7) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participant” with respect to an “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, (8) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participant” with respect to an “Undivided Ownership Interest” in “Plant Hatch” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, (9) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Participants’ Agent” as agent for the other “Participants” in accordance with the “Participation Agreements” under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; (10) Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement; (11) Grantor’s “Undivided Ownership Interest” in the “Existing Units” as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; (12) Grantor’s “Ownership Interest” in “Plant Hatch” as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement; and (13) the rights and obligations of the Grantor in its capacity as “Agent” under and as defined in the Development Agreement.
4.3.Sale of Personal Property Collateral.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Grantee may sell the Personal Property Collateral either (a) concurrently with and in conjunction with a sale of the balance of the Secured Property, in 

10
Deed to Secure Debt

which case the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof shall apply to the Personal Property Collateral as well as to the balance of the Secured Property, or (b) separately and apart from the balance of the Secured Property in the form and manner provided by the Code.  The Grantor stipulates and agrees that a sale of the Personal Property Collateral as described in the preceding sentence is a commercially reasonable manner of disposing of the Personal Property Collateral.  To the extent that the Code shall require prior notice of sale or other disposition of the Personal Property Collateral, ten (10) days written notice shall be deemed to be reasonable notice.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Grantee also may sell the Personal Property Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale for cash or credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable or otherwise as is permitted by applicable law.  The Grantee shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Personal Property Collateral regardless of a notice of sale having been given.  The Grantee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  
4.4.Remedies Cumulative and Non-Waiver.  No remedy or right of Grantee hereunder, under the Loan Guarantee Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or available under applicable law, shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy.  Each such remedy or right shall be in addition to every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing under any such document or under applicable law.

Every remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Grantee.

4.6.Grantee’s Performance of Grantor’s Obligations.  
A.    Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Grantee, either before or after acceleration of the Secured Obligations or before the foreclosure of the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt, may, but shall not be required to (a) make any payment or perform any act herein, in any other Loan Document or any Assigned Agreement which is required of Grantor (whether or not Grantor is personally liable therefor) in any form and manner deemed expedient to Grantee; (b) make full or partial payments of principal or interest on any prior mortgage or encumbrance; (c) purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien on title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Secured Property, or contest any impositions of material Taxes or assessments; and (d) rent, operate, maintain and manage the Additional Unit Properties and Related Facilities and pay operating costs and expenses, including management fees, of every kind and nature in connection therewith, so that the Additional Unit Properties and Related Facilities shall be operational and usable for their intended purposes and perform any obligation of Grantor under the Assigned Agreements or other Secured Property.  All monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized, and all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, shall constitute Secured Obligations, and shall become due and payable upon demand.  Grantee, in making any payment hereby authorized:  (x) for the payment of impositions of material Taxes or assessments, may do so according to any bill or statement, without inquiry into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; (y) for the purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of any other prior lien, may do so without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim or lien which may be asserted; or (z) for the rental, operation or management of the Additional Unit Properties and Related Facilities or the payment of operating cost and expenses thereof, may do so in such amounts and to such persons as Grantee may deem appropriate and may enter into such contracts therefor as Grantee may deem appropriate or may perform the same itself.  In exercising any of the foregoing rights, Grantee may act as attorney-in-fact or agent of Grantor or in its own name, either personally or by its agents.
B.    Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Grantee, either before or after acceleration of the Secured Obligations or before the foreclosure of the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt, may, but shall not be required to, continue or complete the construction, furnishing and equipping of the Additional Unit Properties and Related Facilities, including by paying any Completion Costs.  The Completion Costs shall be Secured Obligations and shall be payable solely as provided for in Section 4.10 and subject to the provisions of Section 10.20 of the Loan Guarantee Agreement.  In exercising any of the foregoing rights, Grantee may act as attorney in fact or agent of Grantor or in its own name, either personally or by its agents.
4.7.Right of Possession.  Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Grantor shall, immediately upon Grantee’s demand, surrender to Grantee, and Grantee shall be entitled to take actual possession of the Secured Property or any part thereof, personally or by its agent or attorneys.  Grantee may enter upon and take and maintain possession or may apply to the court in which a foreclosure is pending to be placed in possession of all or any part of the Secured Property, together with all documents, books, records, papers, and accounts of Grantor or the then owner of the Secured Property relating 

12
Deed to Secure Debt

thereto.  Grantee may exclude Grantor, solely in its capacity as an owner of an interest in the Additional Unit Properties and the Related Facilities, and any agents and servants from the Secured Property, but Grantee shall not exclude Grantor as “Agent” under either or both of the Ownership Agreement or the Operating Agreement and shall not exclude Grantor in its capacity as an Existing Units Owner (as defined in the Declaration of Covenants).  As attorney-in-fact or agent of Grantor or such owner, or in its own name, Grantee may hold, operate, manage, and control all or any part of the Secured Property, either personally or by its agents.  Grantee shall have full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as it may deem proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the rents, issues, deposits, profits, and avails of the Secured Property, including actions for recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer, and actions in distress for rent, all without notice to Grantor.
4.8.Appointment of Receiver.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantee, without regard to the value, adequacy or occupancy of the Secured Property as security for the Secured Obligations, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver (“Receiver”), either ex parte or upon prior notice to Grantor, and to enter upon and take possession of the Secured Property in the manner it deems appropriate or as the court otherwise may direct.  Any such Receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases.  This Deed to Secure Debt shall secure the expenses, including without limitation, Receiver’s fees, attorney’s fees, costs and agent’s compensation, which are incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained.  The right to enter, take possession of, manage and operate the Secured Property, whether by Receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof.  Grantee or Receiver, as the case may be, shall be liable to account only for such rents, income and other benefits actually received by Grantee or Receiver.  Notwithstanding the appointment of Receiver or any other custodian, Grantee shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Deed to Secure Debt to Grantee and/or the Secured Parties.
4.9.Rescission of Notice of Default.  Grantee (on behalf of the Secured Parties) may from time to time rescind any notice of default or notice of sale before any sale as provided above, by executing and delivering to Grantor a written notice of such rescission.  The exercise by Grantee of such right of rescission shall not (a) constitute a waiver of any breach or default then existing or subsequently occurring, (b) impair the right of Grantee to execute and deliver to Grantor other declarations or notices of default to satisfy the obligations of this Deed to Secure Debt or the obligations secured hereby, or (c) otherwise affect any provision, covenant or condition of any Loan Document or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of Grantee or the Secured Parties hereunder or thereunder.

(d)to the balance, if any, to the Persons legally entitled thereto.
4.11.Waiver of Jury Trial.

13

2.02.Consent to Security.
(a)Each Owner hereby consents to the granting of each Security Interest by each Borrower (including, without the need for further consent or acknowledgement, each grant in the future by a MEAG Borrower contemplated by Section 2.01(b) and, in the case of each MEAG Borrower, the pledge by MEAG of all of the equity ownership interests in such MEAG Borrower (the "MEAG SPV Equity")) pursuant to such Borrower's Security Documents and to the exercise of DOE's and the applicable DOE Collateral Agent's rights and remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms of such Security Documents and this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, DOE and each DOE Collateral Agent party hereto acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a consent by OPC, MEAG, any MEAG Borrower or Dalton to any assignment (whether collateral or otherwise) by GPC of any of its rights or obligations in its capacity as agent for the Owners under any of the Owner Documents, and that any such attempted assignment, unless done strictly in accordance with the provisions for removal or resignation of the Owners' Agent in the Owner Documents, shall be null and void.
(b)Each of the Owners agrees that the grant of the Security Interests by the Borrowers and MEAG pursuant to the Security Documents does not relieve it from its obligation to continue performance of the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party.
2.03.Notice of Downgrade.  Prior to Commercial Operation of both Additional Units, each Borrower and the Owners' Agent shall give notice to DOE and to each of the other Owners, promptly after (x) such Borrower (or, in the case of a MEAG Borrower, any credit rating applicable to any bonds issued by MEAG in connection with the Project) has been, and (y) in the case of the Owners' Agent, the Owners' Agent obtains Knowledge that any Owner (or, in the case of a MEAG Borrower, any credit rating applicable to any bonds issued by MEAG in connection with the Project) has been, downgraded below Investment Grade by any Major Rating Agency (each such notice, a "Downgrade Notice").
2.04.Notice of Ownership/IP Agreement Payment Defaults; DOE Right to Cure.
(a)Upon the occurrence of any payment default by an Owner under the Ownership Agreement (to the extent such payment is required to meet such Owner's payment obligations under any IP Agreement) (an "Ownership Agreement IP Default") or any payment default by an Owner (or its agent) under any IP Agreement (an "IP Agreement Default"), such Owner (but only if such Owner is a Borrower) and the Owners' Agent shall, (x) not later than five Georgia Business Days after such default, give DOE prompt notice thereof (each such notice, as the case may be, an "Ownership Agreement IP Default Notice" or an "IP Agreement Default Notice"), and (y) in the case of an IP Agreement Default Notice, promptly after such Person obtains Knowledge of any of the additional facts specified under clauses (i) through (iv) below during the continuance of the IP Agreement Default that materially affect the information previously delivered, give DOE a further notice that shall specify such additional facts in reasonable detail, in each case as of the date of such further notice:
(i)the amount of the payment default and all damages or other charges (if any) to be paid as a result thereof;

14

(ii)an estimate of all other amounts owed by such Owner under the relevant IP Agreement;
(iii)an estimate of any other overdue  liabilities or unperformed obligations of such Owner then outstanding with respect to the Project, including under the Owner Documents and the IP Agreements; and
(iv)an estimate of any other liabilities or obligations of such Owner under the relevant IP Agreement which are likely to fall due within 90 days after the date of the IP Agreement Default Notice.
(b)Each Borrower agrees that DOE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any Ownership Agreement IP Default or IP Agreement Default by a Borrower in the event such Ownership Agreement IP Default or IP Agreement Default is not cured by another Owner within five Georgia Business Days following delivery of the Ownership Agreement IP Default Notice or IP Agreement Default Notice, by making such payment on the defaulting Borrower's behalf (each such payment, a "DOE Cure Payment") by advancing funds for such purpose on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to such Borrower's Loan Guarantee Agreement and Security Documents.
(c)Each Owner has the right to reimburse DOE for any DOE Cure Payment.  Upon making the reimbursement, the Owner shall have the rights under Section 7.7 of the Ownership Agreement with respect to such reimbursed amount.
(d)Upon delivering a notice of intent to make an overdue payment on behalf of a defaulting Owner pursuant to Section 7.7(c) of the Ownership Agreement with respect to any Ownership Agreement IP Default, such Owner shall promptly provide DOE with the details of that notice and the amount of the payment.
2.05.Consultation with DOE Following Notice of Downgrade or Ownership/IP Agreement Default.
(a)The Owners and DOE agree that following the delivery of a Downgrade Notice, an Ownership Agreement IP Default Notice or an IP Agreement Default Notice, they will consult with one another as to the impact of such downgrade or default on the Project or the downgraded or defaulting Person's ability to perform its obligations pursuant to the Owner Documents and the IP Agreements, and potential courses of action. 
(b)To facilitate such consultation process, (i) at the request of DOE, each Owner agrees to meet with DOE in Atlanta, Georgia with respect to a Downgrade Notice, an Ownership Agreement IP Default Notice or an IP Agreement Default Notice; and (ii) at the request of Owners holding a majority of the aggregate Ownership Interests (as defined in the Ownership Agreement), DOE agrees to meet with the Owners in Washington, D.C. with respect to a Downgrade Notice, an Ownership Agreement IP Default Notice or an IP Agreement Default Notice.  Each such meeting shall be at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice by the Person requesting the meeting.

15

2.06.Rejection of Ownership Agreement in Bankruptcy.  If a Borrower files for bankruptcy protection and rejects the Ownership Agreement as an executory contract, DOE or the relevant DOE Collateral Agent (or its transferee) will have the right to require that the remaining Owners enter into a replacement agreement for such rejected agreement with DOE (or the DOE Collateral Agent or transferee), as a replacement Owner for the Borrower that rejected the Ownership Agreement, on substantially the same terms and conditions as such rejected agreement.
2.07.Limitation of Liability for Owners' Agent and for DOE.  In no event shall any action or omission by GPC, as the Owners' Agent, under this Agreement constitute a default by a Borrower under its respective Loan Guarantee Agreement.  The provisions of the Ownership Agreement that provide limitations on the liability of GPC with respect to any actions or omissions in its capacity as Owners' Agent shall be applicable to any actions or omissions by GPC, as Owners' Agent, under this Agreement.  With respect to any actions or omissions by DOE under this Agreement with respect to any Borrower, the provisions of the applicable Loan Guarantee Agreement that provide limitations on the liability of DOE to such Borrower shall apply to such actions or omissions with respect to such Borrower, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
2.08    Termination of EPC Contract by Owners' Agent.
(a)    (i)    The Owners' Agent shall provide 90 days' prior notice to DOE (such notice, an "EPC Contract Notice of Termination") in advance of exercising, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Owner Documents, the Owners' right under Section 22.3 of the EPC Contract to terminate the EPC Contract (such 90 day period, or such shorter period satisfactory to DOE, the "Advance Notice Period").  The Owners' Agent shall deliver a copy of the EPC Contract Notice of Termination to each of the other Owners.  The EPC Contract Notice of Termination shall (1) provide the earliest date on which the EPC Contract will be terminated (which date shall not be earlier than 90 days following the date of delivery of the EPC Contract Notice of Termination or such earlier date satisfactory to DOE) and (2) indicate whether the requisite Owners, acting in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Owner Documents, (A) intend to continue with the development and construction of the Project if such Owners are able to enter into a replacement engineering, procurement and construction agreement (a "Replacement EPC Contract") on terms and conditions satisfactory to them, acting in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Owner Documents (in which case the EPC Contract Notice of Termination shall constitute a "Replacement EPC Termination Notice"), or (B) do not intend to enter into a Replacement EPC Contract (in which case the EPC Contract Notice of Termination shall constitute a "Project Termination Notice" and the Advance Notice Period shall constitute an "EPC Contract Termination Consultation Period").
(ii)    Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Section 2.08, all actions to be taken by any one or more of the Owners or by the Owners' Agent shall be taken pursuant to and in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Owner Documents.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.08 with respect to (A) authority granted by the Owners to the Owners' Agent to take specific actions 

16

described herein and (B) the rights and obligations of the various Parties to purchase or sell Ownership Interests in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Owner Documents, nothing in this Section 2.08 shall, or shall be construed as, altering, modifying, expanding, contracting, limiting or otherwise changing the respective rights and obligations of each of the Owners with respect to each other Owner or the Owners' Agent, or of the Owners' Agent with respect to the Owners or each Owner, in each case as set forth in the Owner Documents.
(b)    In the event the Owners' Agent delivers a Replacement EPC Termination Notice to DOE, the Owners, acting in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Owner Documents, (i) may elect to exercise the Owners' right under Section 22.3 of the EPC Contract to terminate the EPC Contract following the expiration of the Advance Notice Period and (ii) shall have a period of 180 days from the date the Replacement EPC Termination Notice is delivered to DOE during which the Owners that intend to continue with the development and construction of the Project shall seek to enter into a Replacement EPC Contract on terms and conditions satisfactory to them (acting in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Owner Documents) and, with respect to GPC, to the Georgia Public Service Commission.  In the event such Owners (acting in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Owner Documents) do not enter into such a Replacement EPC Contract within such 180-day period (such failure to enter into a Replacement EPC Contract, a "No Replacement EPC Event"), then each Borrower shall be subject to the obligations, if any, set forth in such Borrower's Loan Guarantee Documents with respect to such No Replacement EPC Event.
(c)    (i)    In the event the Owners' Agent delivers a Project Termination Notice, each Borrower shall be subject to the obligations, if any, set forth in such Borrower's Loan Guarantee Documents with respect to a Project Termination Notice.  During the EPC Contract Termination Consultation Period DOE may elect, subject to Section 2.08(d)(v), to assume in writing all of the rights and obligations under the EPC Contract of (A) GPC (other than in its capacity as Owners' Agent) and (B) the other Owners that have not elected to continue with the development and construction of the Project in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8 of the Development Agreement (the "DOE EPC Assumption Election") by delivering notice of such election to each Owner (the "DOE EPC Assumption Election Notice").  GPC and each other Owner that has not elected to continue with the development and construction of the Project in accordance with Section 3.8 of the Development Agreement shall be referred to individually as a "Non-Continuing Owner" and collectively as the "Non-Continuing Owners." Any Owner (other than GPC) that has elected to continue with the development and construction of the Project in accordance with Section 3.8 of the Development Agreement shall be referred to as a "Continuing Owner."  
(ii)    The rights of the Continuing Owners to continue with the development and construction of the Project with DOE pursuant to this Section 2.08 are in addition to the rights provided to the Continuing Owners to continue with the development and construction of the Project pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Development Agreement.   
(iii)    As a condition to completing the EPC Assignment and Assumption, DOE must satisfy the requirements of Article 29 of the EPC Contract with respect to an assignee; 

17

provided, however, that if any approvals of any governmental authority, including the NRC, are required as a condition to completing the EPC Assignment and Assumption and cannot be obtained within the EPC Contract Termination Consultation Period, then, upon receipt from DOE of the assurance of payment and indemnity described in the immediately following clause (iv), the Owners' Agent shall exercise the Owners' right to suspend the work under the EPC Contract prior to the expiration of the EPC Contract Termination Consultation Period, and such suspension shall continue until the earlier of (A) such time as such approvals shall have been obtained or (B) the termination of the EPC Contract by the EPC Contractor pursuant to Section 22.5(a)(vi) of the EPC Contract (the "Suspension Period").  If, prior to the expiration of the EPC Contract Termination Consultation Period, DOE has not delivered the DOE EPC Assumption Election Notice to the Owners, or DOE has delivered the DOE EPC Assumption Election Notice to the Owners and either (X) all approvals described in the immediately preceding sentence are not obtained within 365 days of the date of such notice or (Y) DOE has failed to make any payment required under Section 2.08(c)(iv) on a timely basis, then the Owners' Agent may exercise the Owners' right under Section 22.3 of the EPC Contract to terminate the EPC Contract.
(iv)    All costs and expenses charged by the EPC Contractor, or otherwise chargeable by the Owners' Agent to the Owners pursuant to the Ownership Agreement, for or in connection with a suspension of work under the EPC Contract pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (iii), shall be solely for the account of DOE.  The obligation of the Owners' Agent to suspend the work under the EPC Contract pursuant to clause (iii) shall be conditioned upon the prior receipt by the Owners' Agent from DOE of (A) an assurance of payment satisfactory to the Owners' Agent, including that such assurance of payment (and payments to be made thereunder) shall not be subject to appropriations risk, and (B) an indemnity to each Non-Continuing Owner and the Owners' Agent (and their respective officials, advisors, servants, officers, directors, employees, representatives, attorneys and agents) in form and substance satisfactory to it, from and against any cost, loss, expense or damage, including, without limitation, attorney fees and expenses, suffered or incurred by it and arising directly out of such suspension, subject to a cap to be agreed upon by DOE, each Non-Continuing Owner and the Owners' Agent.  In the event DOE fails to make any payment required under this Section 2.08(c)(iv) on a timely basis, the Continuing Owners, if any, shall be responsible for, and shall make payment of, any such missed or late payment.  Each Continuing Owner shall be responsible for, and shall make payment of, the amount of any late or missed payment realized by multiplying (X) the total amount of such missed or late payment by (Y) the percentage realized by dividing the Ownership Interest of such Continuing Owner by the total Ownership Interests of all Continuing Owners.
(v)    In the event DOE has made the DOE EPC Assumption Election in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.08(c)(i), then prior to the later to occur of the expiration of the EPC Contract Termination Consultation Period or the expiration of the Suspension Period, DOE shall assume, in a writing satisfactory to each Non-Continuing Owner and subject to Section 2.08(d)(v), all of the rights and obligations of each Non-Continuing Owner (other than the rights and obligations of GPC in its capacity as Owners' Agent) under the EPC Contract, and each Non-Continuing Owner shall execute 

18

and deliver such additional documentation as shall be reasonably necessary in furtherance of the assignment to, and assumption by, DOE of all of the right, title and interest of each Non-Continuing Owner in and to the EPC Contract (other than any right, title and interest of GPC in its capacity as Owners' Agent) (the "EPC Assignment and Assumption").
(vi)    In the event DOE has made the DOE EPC Assumption Election in accordance with Section 2.08(c)(i) and DOE has completed the EPC Assignment and Assumption in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.08(c)(v), then one or more of DOE and the Continuing Owners shall have the right to acquire all or a portion (as the case may be) of the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner, either in accordance with Section 2.08(d) or in accordance with Section 2.08(e), at any time following receipt of all approvals and consents required by law, including any approval required from the NRC.  DOE shall have the sole right to decide whether such acquisition by the Purchaser shall proceed under the provisions of Section 2.08(d) or 2.08(e).
(vii)    In the event the Owners' Agent has delivered a Project Termination Notice in accordance with Section 2.08(a)(i), upon the earlier to occur of (A) DOE's completion of the EPC Assignment and Assumption in accordance with Section 2.08(c)(v) or (B) the commencement of the Suspension Period in accordance with Section 2.08(c)(iii), the Non-Continuing Owners shall not be responsible for payment of any Cost of Construction incurred after the date of either such occurrence.
(d)    Dilution Option.  (i)    If DOE exercises its right pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(vi) to acquire a portion of the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner pursuant to this Section 2.08(d), then such portion with respect to each Non-Continuing Owner shall be referred to in this Section 2.08(d) as the "Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest".  In the event the Purchaser incurs additional ODA Cost of Construction after the Initial Closing, then the Ownership Interest of the Purchaser shall be adjusted as necessary by acquiring from each Non-Continuing Owner additional portions of the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner (the "Additional Proportionate Interests") through one or more Subsequent Closings.
(ii)    In the event there are any Continuing Owners, in advance of exercising its right pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(vi) to acquire a portion of the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner in accordance with this Section 2.08(d), DOE shall first offer each Continuing Owner the opportunity to acquire a pro rata portion of the entire Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner, with such pro rata portion based on the Ownership Interest of each such Continuing Owner in proportion to the aggregate Ownership Interests of the Continuing Owners, by providing a written notice (for purposes of this Section 2.08(d), the "Offer Notice") to each Continuing Owner, with a copy of such Offer Notice to each Non-Continuing Owner.  During the 120-day period following receipt of the Offer Notice (for purposes of this Section 2.08(d), the "Continuing Owner Offer Period"), each Continuing Owner may deliver to DOE (with a copy to each Non-Continuing Owner and each other Continuing Owner) notice of its election, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals, including any approval required from the NRC, to acquire its pro rata portion of the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner (for purposes of this 

19

Section 2.08(d), a "Continuing Owner Purchase Election" and any Continuing Owner that delivers such a Continuing Owner Purchase Election, an "Electing Continuing Owner").  In the event all Continuing Owners are Electing Continuing Owners, then such Electing Continuing Owners shall proceed in an expeditious manner to an Initial Closing in accordance with Section 2.08(d)(iii).   In the event there is more than one Continuing Owner, and less than all of the Continuing Owners are Electing Continuing Owners, then DOE shall offer the unaccepted portion of the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest to the Electing Continuing Owners, on a pro rata basis according to the Ownership Interest of each such Electing Continuing Owner (for purposes of this Section 2.08(d), the "Additional Offer Notice"), who shall then have 30 days to accept such Additional Offer Notice by delivering to DOE (with a copy to each Non-Continuing Owner and each other Continuing Owner) notice of such acceptance.  In the event any Additional Offer Notice is not accepted, DOE and any Electing Continuing Owners shall proceed in an expeditious manner to an Initial Closing in accordance with Section 2.08(d)(iii).  In the event all of the Additional Offer Notices are accepted, the Electing Continuing Owners shall proceed in an expeditious manner to an Initial Closing in accordance with Section 2.08(d)(iii).  In the event there are no Electing Continuing Owners during the Continuing Owner Offer Period, then DOE shall proceed in an expeditious manner to an Initial Closing in accordance with Section 2.08(d)(iii).   
(iii)    Subject to completion of the procedures required by Section 2.08(d)(ii), the Purchaser may deliver to each Non-Continuing Owner and to the Owners' Agent notice of a closing date for the Purchaser's acquisition of the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest (the "Initial Closing"), which date shall not be less than 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice.  At the Initial Closing for each Non-Continuing Owner:
(A) each of the Purchaser and such Non-Continuing Owner shall execute and deliver such documentation as shall be reasonably necessary in order to convey and assign to the Purchaser the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest of such Non-Continuing Owner;
(B) each of DOE and such Non-Continuing Owner shall deliver to each other and each Continuing Owner a report, in such detail as shall reasonably be requested by any such recipient, which shall set forth, as of the date of the most recently completed fiscal quarter of the Owners' Agent and that is at least 60 days prior to the date of the Initial Closing (the "Initial Closing Quarterly Information Date"), (1) in the case of such Non-Continuing Owner's report, the aggregate ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by the Non-Continuing Owner with respect to such Non-Continuing Owner's Ownership Interest, which shall be net of any refunds received by such Non-Continuing Owner with respect to any disputed amounts paid under the EPC Contract (the "Non-Continuing Owner Payment Amount"), and (2) in the case of DOE's report, the aggregate ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by DOE or its designee, which shall be net of any refunds received by DOE with respect to any disputed amounts paid under the EPC Contract, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Non-Continuing Owner's Ownership Interest and the denominator of which is the 

20

aggregate Ownership Interests of all Non-Continuing Owners (the "DOE Initial Closing Payment Amount"); 
(C) if the Purchaser includes one or more Electing Continuing Owners, (I) such Electing Continuing Owners shall make payment to DOE or its designee in immediately available funds by wire transfer (or other means acceptable to all parties to the Initial Closing) of the DOE Initial Closing Payment Amount (or in the event the Purchaser includes DOE together with one or more Electing Continuing Owners, payment by the Electing Continuing Owners of a pro rata portion of the DOE Initial Closing Payment Amount based on the portion of the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest to be acquired by the Electing Continuing Owners), and (II) DOE or its designee and such Electing Continuing Owners shall execute and deliver such documentation as shall be reasonably necessary in order to assign to the Purchaser all or a portion (as applicable) of the right, title and interest of DOE in and to the EPC Contract; and
(D) the Electing Continuing Owners shall make payment to DOE or its designee in immediately available funds by wire transfer (or other means acceptable to all parties to the Initial Closing) of the Suspension Period Payment Amount (or, in the event the Purchaser includes DOE together with one or more Electing Continuing Owners, a pro rata portion of the Suspension Period Payment Amount based on the portion of the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest to be acquired by DOE and the portion of the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest to be acquired by the Electing Continuing Owners).  
For any such Initial Closing with respect to a Non-Continuing Owner, the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest shall be equal to such Non-Continuing Owner's Final Percentage Interest, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the DOE Initial Closing Payment Amount with respect to such Non-Continuing Owner and the denominator of which is the sum of the Non-Continuing Owner Payment Amount and the DOE Initial Closing Payment Amount.  (For illustrative purposes only, see the calculation set forth in Example 1 on Appendix C attached hereto.)
(iv)    In the event an Initial Closing occurs with respect to a Non-Continuing Owner and the Purchaser in such Initial Closing incurs additional ODA Cost of Construction following the Initial Closing Quarterly Information Date, one or more additional closings (each, a "Subsequent Closing") will be held, at which the Purchaser will acquire from such Non-Continuing Owner an Additional Proportionate Interest with respect to such Non-Continuing Owner.  A Subsequent Closing shall occur on the 60th day following the end of any fiscal quarter following the Initial Closing Quarterly Information Date in which the Purchaser incurs such additional ODA Cost of Construction.  At any such Subsequent Closing for a Non-Continuing Owner:
(A) each of the Purchaser and such Non-Continuing Owner shall execute and deliver such documentation as shall be reasonably necessary in order to convey and assign to the Purchaser the Additional Proportionate Interest of such Non-Continuing Owner; and 

21

(B) each of such Non-Continuing Owner and each Purchaser shall deliver to each other, each other Purchaser and each Continuing Owner a report, in such detail as shall reasonably be requested by any such recipient, which shall set forth, as of the end of such fiscal quarter, (1) in the case of each Purchaser's report, the aggregate ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by such Purchaser through the end of such fiscal quarter, which shall be net of any refunds received by such Purchaser with respect to any disputed amounts paid under the EPC Contract (the "Individual Purchaser Amount"; the aggregate of all Individual Purchaser Amounts with respect to such Subsequent Closing, the "Purchaser Additional Payment Amount"), and (2) in the case of such Non-Continuing Owner's report, the aggregate ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by such Non-Continuing Owner through the end of such fiscal quarter, which shall be net of any refunds received by such Non-Continuing Owner with respect to any disputed amounts paid under the EPC Contract (the "Non-Continuing Owner Additional Payment Amount").  
The Additional Proportionate Interest to be assigned and conveyed to the Purchaser at any Subsequent Closing shall be equal to the New Aggregate Percentage Interest minus the Prior Aggregate Percentage Interest.  With respect to any Subsequent Closing, the "New Aggregate Percentage Interest" shall be equal to (X) the amount realized by dividing the Purchaser Additional Payment Amount with respect to such Non-Continuing Owner by an amount equal to the sum of the Non-Continuing Owner Payment Amount and the Purchaser Additional Payment Amount and (Y) multiplying such amount realized by such Non-Continuing Owner's Final Percentage Interest. With respect to any Subsequent Closing, the "Prior Aggregate Percentage Interest" shall be equal to the aggregate Ownership Interest of the relevant Non-Continuing Owner conveyed and assigned to the Purchaser through the Initial Closing and all prior Subsequent Closings.  (For illustrative purposes only, see the calculation set forth in Example 2 on Appendix C attached hereto.)
(v)    The Ownership Interest held by the Purchaser, however acquired, at any particular time in question shall be referred to herein as the "Purchaser's Ownership Interest" and the Ownership Interest retained by the Non-Continuing Owner at any particular time in question shall be referred to herein as the "Retained Ownership Interest."  In connection with an assumption of the EPC Contract by a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Non-Continuing Owner, on the other hand, shall share the proceeds of any refunds of previously paid disputed amounts, liquidated damages, warranty claims and other amounts payable to the Owners under or in respect of the EPC Contract pro rata based on the Purchaser's Ownership Interest and the Retained Ownership Interest at the time such proceeds are paid.  Any refund of all or any part of the Suspension Period Payment Amount will be paid to DOE (or, if one or more Electing Continuing Owners has acquired all or a portion of the Non-Continuing Owners' Ownership Interests, shared pro rata among DOE and each of the Electing Continuing Owners based on the portion of the Non-Continuing Owners' Ownership Interests acquired by each of them).

22

(vi)    With respect only to an assignment and conveyance of OPC's Ownership Interest pursuant to this Section 2.08(d), the DOE Initial Closing Payment Amount and each Purchaser Additional Payment Amount applicable to OPC's Ownership Interest shall, prior to the applicable Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, be deemed a loan without interest in a like amount by the applicable Purchaser to OPC (for purposes of the calculations set forth above in this Section 2.08(d) only and not for purposes of the OPC Indenture, such amounts shall be deemed additional ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by DOE or its designee and shall not be deemed additional ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by OPC).  At the applicable Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, the portion of OPC's Ownership Interest then assigned and conveyed to a Purchaser shall be deemed purchased by such Purchaser for a purchase price equal to the amount of such deemed loan of such Purchaser, and such purchase price shall be deemed paid by such Purchaser through the satisfaction in full of such deemed loan effective automatically upon such Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, as the case may be.
(e)    Installment Option.      (i)    In the event there are any Continuing Owners, in advance of exercising its right pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(vi) to acquire the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner in accordance with this Section 2.08(e), DOE shall first offer each Continuing Owner the opportunity to acquire a pro rata portion of the entire Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner, with such pro rata portion based on the Ownership Interest of each such Continuing Owner in proportion to the aggregate Ownership Interests of the Continuing Owners, by providing a written notice (for purposes of this Section 2.08(e), the "Offer Notice") to each Continuing Owner, with a copy of such Offer Notice to each Non-Continuing Owner.  During the 120-day period following receipt of the Offer Notice (for purposes of this Section 2.08(e), the "Continuing Owner Offer Period"), each Continuing Owner may deliver to DOE (with a copy to each Non-Continuing Owner and each other Continuing Owner) notice of its election, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals, including any required approvals of the NRC, to acquire its pro rata portion of the entire Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner (for purposes of this Section 2.08(e), a "Continuing Owner Purchase Election" and any Continuing Owner that delivers such a Continuing Owner Purchase Election, an "Electing Continuing Owner").  In the event all Continuing Owners are Electing Continuing Owners, then such Electing Continuing Owners shall proceed in an expeditious manner to a closing in accordance with Section 2.08(e)(ii).  In the event there is more than one Continuing Owner, and less than all of the Continuing Owners are Electing Continuing Owners, then DOE shall offer the unaccepted portion of the entire Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner to the Electing Continuing Owners, on a pro rata basis according to the Ownership Interest of each such Electing Continuing Owners (for purposes of this Section 2.08(e), the "Additional Offer Notice"), who shall then have 30 days to accept such Additional Offer Notice by delivering to DOE (with a copy to each Non-Continuing Owner and each other Continuing Owner) notice of such acceptance.  In the event any Additional Offer Notice is not accepted, DOE shall have the right to acquire the entire Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner and shall proceed in an expeditious manner to a closing in accordance with Section 2.08(e)(iii), and no Electing Continuing Owner shall have the right to acquire the Ownership Interest of a Non-Continuing Owner.  In the event there are no Electing Continuing Owners during the 

23

Continuing Owner Offer Period, then DOE shall proceed in an expeditious manner to a closing in accordance with Section 2.08(e)(iii)
(ii)    Subject to completion of the procedures set forth in Section 2.08(e)(i), if one or more Continuing Owners intends to exercise their right pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(vi) to acquire all of the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), then such Electing Continuing Owners shall have the right to acquire such Ownership Interest for a purchase price equal to the aggregate ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by the Non-Continuing Owner at the time of the closing of the acquisition, payable in immediately available funds at the closing of such acquisition.  The Electing Continuing Owners may exercise such right by delivering to DOE, each Non-Continuing Owner and to the Owners' Agent notice of a closing date for the acquisition by the Electing Continuing Owners of all of the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner, which date shall not be less than 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice.  At the closing for each Non-Continuing Owner:
(A) the Electing Continuing Owners and such Non-Continuing Owner shall execute and deliver such documentation as shall be reasonably necessary in order to convey and assign to the Electing Continuing Owners all of the Ownership Interest of such Non-Continuing Owner;
(B) DOE or its designee and such Electing Continuing Owners shall execute and deliver such documentation as shall be reasonably necessary in order to assign to the Electing Continuing Owners all of the right, title and interest of DOE in and to the EPC Contract; and
(C) the Electing Continuing Owners shall make payment to DOE or its designee in immediately available funds by wire transfer (or other means acceptable to all Parties) of the Suspension Period Payment Amount.
(iii)    Subject to completion of the procedures set forth in Section 2.08(e)(i), if DOE elects to acquire all of the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), then DOE shall have the right to acquire each such Ownership Interest for a purchase price equal to the aggregate ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by the Non-Continuing Owner at the time of the closing of the acquisition, payable in equal payments in 40 consecutive quarterly installments without interest, on (x) if the Non-Continuing Owner is a Borrower, each date for payment of principal or interest or both specified in the applicable Promissory Note, which date is on a quarterly basis, and (y) if the Non-Continuing Owner is not a Borrower, the first Federal Government Business Day of each calendar quarter, in each case commencing with the first complete calendar quarter following the closing date.  DOE may exercise such right by delivering to each Non-Continuing Owner and to the Owners' Agent notice of a closing date for the acquisition by DOE or its designee of all of the Ownership Interest of each Non-Continuing Owner, which date shall not be less than 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice.  At the closing for each Non-Continuing Owner, DOE or its designee, the Continuing Owners and such Non-Continuing Owner shall execute and deliver such documentation as shall be reasonably necessary in order to convey and 

24

assign to DOE or its designee all of the Ownership Interest of such Non-Continuing Owner and to document the installment purchase by DOE.
(iv)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.08(e)(iii), with respect to the acquisition of OPC's Ownership Interest pursuant to such Section, OPC shall only assign and convey portions of its Ownership Interest as installment payments are made by DOE or its designee, such assignments and conveyances to be in portions equal to OPC's Ownership Interest on the date of the conveyance and assignment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the principal amount of the installment payment then being made by DOE or its designee (which installment payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate unreimbursed ODA Cost of Construction of OPC on the date of the conveyance and assignment, which amount shall be net of any refunds received by OPC with respect to any disputed amount under the EPC Contract, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is the result of (a) forty (40) minus (b) the number of such installments previously paid by DOE or its designee pursuant to this Section 2.08(e)) and (2) the aggregate additional ODA Cost of Construction paid or incurred by DOE or its designee as of the date of the conveyance and assignment, which amount shall be net of any refunds received by DOE or its designee with respect to any disputed amount under the EPC Contract, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is OPC's Ownership Interest on such date and the denominator of which is the aggregate Ownership Interests of DOE and all Non-Continuing Owners on such date (in each case without regard to such conveyance and assignment), and which amount shall, in the case of subsequent assignments and conveyances, be determined since the date of the immediately preceding assignment and conveyance (the "Additional Installment Option Payment Amount"), and the denominator of which is the sum of (I) the aggregate unreimbursed ODA Cost of Construction of OPC on the date of the conveyance and assignment, which amount shall be net of any refunds received by OPC with respect to any disputed amount under the EPC Contract, and (II) the Additional Installment Option Payment Amount.  (For illustrative purposes only, see the calculation set forth in Example 3 on Appendix C attached hereto.)  With respect to any assignment and conveyance of OPC's Ownership Interest pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), each Additional Installment Option Payment Amount shall, prior to the applicable assignment and conveyance, be deemed a loan without interest in a like amount by DOE to OPC (for purposes of the calculations set forth above in this Section 2.08(e)(iv) only and not for purposes of the OPC Indenture, such amounts shall be deemed additional ODA Cost of Construction paid by DOE or its designee and shall not be deemed additional ODA Cost of Construction paid by OPC).  At each assignment and conveyance, the portion of OPC's Ownership Interest then assigned and conveyed based on such Additional Installment Option Payment Amount (and not based upon the installment payments being made pursuant to this Section 2.08(e)) shall be deemed purchased by DOE or its designee for a purchase price equal to the amount of such deemed loan, and such purchase price shall be deemed paid by DOE or its designee by the satisfaction in full of such deemed loan effective automatically upon the applicable closing.

3.03Article IV Amended Section.  Article IV of the Ownership Agreement is hereby amended to revise Section 4.2 by deleting subsection (g) in its entirety and replacing it with the following new subsection: 
(g)    In addition to each Participating Party's right to transfer or sell its Ownership Interest under Section 4.2(a), all or any portion of any Participating Party's Ownership Interest in the Additional Units Property (and, in the case of any MEAG SPV, the MEAG SPV Equity) may be transferred or sold pursuant to a foreclosure action or power of sale without complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2 (but only in such instance and without affecting such rights for future transfers), if the transfer or sale is conducted in accordance with this Section 4.2(g).
(i)This Section 4.2(g) shall apply: 
(A)To all or any portion of OPC's Ownership Interest in the Additional Units Property if (1) an "Event of Default" has occurred and is continuing under the terms of OPC's Indenture ("OPC Default"), and (2) an agency or instrumentality of the United States government is a holder of indebtedness secured by OPC's Indenture (the security title and lien holder under the OPC Indenture, the "OPC Trustee"); or
(B)To all or any portion of the Ownership Interest in the Additional Units Property of any Participating Party, other than OPC, if an event of default (howsoever described) has occurred and is continuing under the terms of the DOE Security Document of such Participating Party ("DOE Default"); or
(C)In the case of any MEAG SPV, to all or any portion of the MEAG SPV Equity of such MEAG SPV Participating Party if an applicable DOE Default has occurred and is continuing.   
(ii)Prior to any sale or transfer under this Section 4.2(g) (but without prejudice to any right of the OPC Trustee or the applicable DOE Trustee, as the case may be, to commence the public advertisement process for a public sale), the OPC Trustee in the event of an OPC Default, or the applicable DOE Trustee in the event of a DOE Default (the applicable trustee for such sale or transfer will hereinafter be referred to as the "Trustee") shall deliver to the other Participating Parties a written notice of its intention to transfer or sell such Ownership Interest (or, in the case of any MEAG SPV, the MEAG SPV Equity) (the "Default Sale Notice").  After receipt of the Default Sale Notice, the other Participating Parties shall have one hundred twenty (120) days to deliver to the Trustee one or more written offers to purchase such Ownership Interest (or MEAG SPV Equity, as applicable) in its entirety on an as-is, where-is basis, without recourse to the Trustee, free and clear of the lien of OPC's Indenture (in the case of an OPC Default) and free and clear of the lien of the applicable DOE Security Document (in the case of a DOE Default), for a cash purchase price identified in such offer, subject only to receipt of all required regulatory approvals (each, a "Co-Owner Purchase Offer").  If one or more Co-Owner Purchase Offers are received by the Trustee within such one hundred twenty-day period, the Trustee must, within one hundred eighty (180) days after delivery of the Default Sale Notice: 

27

(A)identify to all the Participating Parties that submitted Co-Owner Purchase Offers the Co-Owner Purchase Offer that contains the highest purchase price (the "Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer"); and 
(B)give notice to such Participating Parties of its acceptance or rejection of the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer.
(iii)If the Trustee accepts the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer, then the other Participating Parties will have the right, within thirty (30) days after notice of such acceptance, to participate in the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests or as the Participating Parties may otherwise agree.
(iv)If the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer is accepted: (A) such acceptance shall constitute a binding agreement between the Trustee and the purchasing Participating Parties obligating the Trustee to sell, and the purchasing Participating Parties to purchase, the Ownership Interest (or MEAG SPV Equity, as applicable) identified in the Default Sale Notice at the purchase price specified in the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer, subject only to receipt of all required regulatory approvals; and (B) the purchasing Participating Parties will be obligated to tender the full amount of the purchase price in immediately available funds to the Trustee within ten (10) days of receipt of all regulatory approvals required for such sale, lease or other conveyance.
(v)If
(A)the Trustee does not receive any Co-Owner Purchase Offers within the one hundred twenty-day period provided above; 
(B)the purchasing Participating Parties fail to tender the purchase price within the ten-day period as provided above; or 
(C)the Trustee rejects the Prevailing Co-Owner Purchase Offer,
then the Trustee may thereafter proceed to sell, lease or otherwise convey such Ownership Interest (or MEAG SPV Equity, as applicable) to any entity, including any Participating Party, without re-offering such Ownership Interest (or MEAG SPV Equity, as applicable) to the other Participating Parties and without complying with this Section 4.2 (but only in such instance and without affecting such rights for future transfers); provided, however, that the Participating Parties will not be prohibited from participating in any auction or other bid process for such Ownership Interest (or MEAG SPV Equity, as applicable) after any such event; provided, further that any such sale, lease or other conveyance to an entity other than a Participating Party must be made to an entity (1) that is financially responsible, taking into account the remaining obligations at the time of such transfer or sale under this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement and the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement and (2) that, in the case of a transfer of Ownership Interests, becomes a party to, and assumes (i) the rights and obligations of such Participating Party hereunder as a Participating Party solely with respect to the portion of its Ownership Interest in the Additional Units acquired by such 

28

entity, (ii) the rights and obligations of such Participating Party under the Operating Agreement solely with respect to the portion of its "Ownership Interest" in the "Additional Units" (as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement) acquired by such entity, (iii) the rights and obligations of such Participating Party under the Declaration of Covenants as an "Additional Units Owner" solely with respect to the portion of its ownership interest in the "Additional Units Property" (as those terms are defined in the Declaration of Covenants) acquired by such entity, and (iv) the rights and obligations of such Participating Party under the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement solely as a "Participant" with respect to the portion of its "Undivided Ownership Interest" in the "Additional Units" and related facilities, equipment, inventory and common facilities (as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement) acquired by such entity, in each of the foregoing cases (i) through (iv) arising from and after the date of such assumption; provided, further, that if the Trustee has not, within two (2) years after the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (A) through (C) above, consummated a sale, lease or other conveyance of such Ownership Interest (or MEAG SPV Equity, as applicable), the Trustee may not thereafter sell, lease or otherwise convey such Ownership Interest (or MEAG SPV Equity, as applicable) without first re-offering it to the other Participating Parties in accordance with this Section 4.2(g).  So long as NRC approval of such a sale, lease or other conveyance is promptly applied for and pursued with due diligence, such two-year period shall be extended until the NRC grants or denies such approval and such action becomes final and non-appealable.  
(vi)For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.2 requires or permits any entity (including any purchasing Participating Party) that acquires an Ownership Interest of a Participating Party (or MEAG SPV Equity, as applicable) identified in a Default Sale Notice to accede to:
(1) if such Participating Party is Agent under and as defined in this Agreement, the rights and obligations of such Participating Party in its capacity as Agent under this Agreement, 
(2) if such Participating Party is "Agent" under and as defined in the Operating Agreement, the rights and obligations of such Participating Party in its capacity as "Agent" under and as defined in the Operating Agreement,

(8) the rights and obligations of such Participating Party in its capacity as "Participant" with respect to an "Undivided Ownership Interest" in "Plant Hatch" under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, 
(9) if such Participating Party is "Participants' Agent" under and as defined in the Nuclear Management Board Agreement, the rights and obligations of such Participating Party in its capacity as "Participants' Agent" as agent for the other "Participants" in accordance with the "Participation Agreements" under and as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, 
(10) such Participating Party's "Ownership Interest" in the "Existing Units" as those terms are defined in the Operating Agreement,

(12) such Participating Party's "Ownership Interest" in "Plant Hatch" as those terms are defined in the Nuclear Managing Board Agreement, and
(13) if such Participating Party is "Agent" under and as defined in the Development Agreement, the rights and obligations of such Participating Party in its capacity as "Agent" under and as defined in the Development Agreement.
3.04Article VII Amended Section.  Article VII of the Ownership Agreement is hereby amended to revise Section 7.4 by deleting subsection (a) in its entirety and replacing it with the following new subsection:

All Fuel Costs for each Additional Unit incurred after the Effective Date but prior to Commercial Operation of such 

30

Additional Unit shall be paid by the Parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof and pursuant to the further provisions of this Section 7.4.

	Illustration of an Initial Closing under Section 2.08(d)(iii) (Dilution Option)

For illustrative purposes only, if GPC was a Non-Continuing Owner and the Non-Continuing Owner Payment Amount for GPC was $1,000,000,000 and the DOE Initial Closing Payment Amount with respect to GPC's Ownership Interest was $1,000,000,000, then the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest would be equal to 0.5 times GPC's 45.7% Final Percentage Interest, such that GPC would retain a 22.85% Ownership Interest and would assign and convey to the Purchaser a 22.85% Ownership Interest.
		
	2.
	Illustration of a Subsequent Closing under Section 2.08(d)(iv) (Dilution Option)

For illustrative purposes only, if GPC was a Non-Continuing Owner and the Non-Continuing Owner Payment Amount for GPC was $1,000,000,000 and the DOE Initial Closing Payment Amount with respect to GPC's Ownership Interest was $1,000,000,000, then the Initial Transferred Proportionate Interest would be equal to 0.5 times GPC's 45.7% Final Percentage Interest, such that GPC would retain a 22.85% Ownership Interest and would assign and convey to the Purchaser a 22.85% Ownership Interest at the Initial Closing.  For such illustrative purposes, assuming the Purchaser incurred $500,000,000 of additional ODA Cost of Construction during the next fiscal quarter and GPC incurred no additional ODA Cost of Construction during the next fiscal quarter (as a Non-Continuing Owner GPC would have no obligation to pay Cost of Construction), then the Purchaser Additional Payment Amount would be equal to $1,500,000,000, the New Aggregate Percentage Interest would be equal to 0.6 times GPC's 45.7% Final Percentage Interest (or 27.42%), and the Additional Proportionate Interest would be equal to 27.42% minus 22.85% (or 4.57%). Following such Subsequent Closing, the Purchaser would own a 27.42% Ownership Interest and GPC would retain an 18.28% Ownership Interest.

	Illustration of a closing under Section 2.08(e)(iv) (Installment Option) (OPC-specific)

		
	•
	Assumptions:  at the point in time of the EPC Assignment and Assumption (1) OPC is a Non-Continuing Owner, (2) OPC's Ownership Interest is 30% and (3) OPC has aggregate ODA Cost of Construction of $2 billion.

		
	•
	Under Section 2.08(e) DOE elects to purchase all of OPC's Ownership Interest.

		
	•
	Prior to the first installment payment, DOE spends $200 million on ODA Cost of Construction relating to OPC's then 30% Ownership Interest; and then between the first installment payment and the second installment payment DOE spends another $200 million on ODA Cost of Construction relating to the 30% Ownership Interest (note, for the formula that amount will be reduced as OPC will no longer own a 30% Ownership Interest -- see below).

		
	•
	Prior to the first installment payment, OPC spends an additional $20 million on ODA Cost of Construction relating to OPC's then 30% Ownership Interest (property taxes, etc.); and then between the first installment payment and the second installment payment OPC spends 

C-1

another $10 million on ODA Cost of Construction relating to its then reduced Ownership Interest.
		
	•
	The first installment payment would be $50.5 million ($2.02 billion in OPC unreimbursed ODA Cost of Construction (the initial $2 billion plus the additional $20 million) x (1 / (40-0))).

		
	•
	On the first installment payment date, OPC is to transfer an Ownership Interest = 30% x (($50.5 million installment payment + $200 million in DOE ODA Cost of Construction) / ($2.02 billion in OPC unreimbursed ODA Cost of Construction + $200 million in DOE ODA Cost of Construction)).  This is 30% x 0.1128.  This is 3.384% transferred (so OPC retains 30% - 3.384% or 26.616%).

		
	•
	On the second installment payment date, OPC is to transfer an Ownership Interest = 26.616% x (($50.76 million installment payment ($1.9795 billion in OPC unreimbursed ODA Cost of Construction (the $2.02 billion referenced in the bullet point above, minus the $50.5 million previous installment, plus the additional $10 million) x (1 / (40-1))) + $177.44 million in DOE ODA Cost of Construction (the portion of the $200 million on 30% bears to 26.616%))/($1.9795 billion in OPC unreimbursed ODA Cost of Construction + $177.44 million in DOE ODA Cost of Construction).  This is 26.616% x 0.1058.  This is 2.816% transferred (so OPC retains 26.616% - 2.816% or 23.800%).
