modifications to any Facility reasonably required in the normal course of business and in accordance with Good Utility Practices (a “Required Expenditure”), and (ii) the Company shall retain exclusive control over all aspects of the
operation, maintenance, refueling, shutdown or other matters relating to the operation of the Facilities and to the Company during the Interim Period, all in accordance with Good Utility Practices. 
  
 (b) During the Interim Period, in the interest of
facilitating an orderly transition of the upstream ownership of the Company and permitting informed action by the Buyer regarding its rights under Section 5.3(a), the Parties shall, as promptly as is practicable after the date hereof, establish a
committee comprised of at least five (5) persons, two (2) persons to be designated by the Seller and two persons to be designated by the Buyer, and such additional persons as may be appointed by the persons originally appointed to such committee
(the “Transition Executive Committee”). From time to time, the Transition Executive Committee shall report to the senior management of Seller and Buyer. The Transition Executive Committee shall meet periodically and shall oversee and
manage the transition process during the Interim Period. The Seller shall consult with Buyer’s representatives on the Transition Executive Committee, on a regular and timely basis, with respect to the refueling outage(s) occurring during the

Buyer’s representatives on the Transition Executive Committee to attend all Company Management Committee meetings (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and finance committee meetings until Closing. If Seller is unable to procure, despite
Commercially Reasonable Efforts, the attendance at such Company Management Committee meetings and finance committee meetings of Buyer’s representatives on the Transition Executive Committee, then Seller shall provide Buyer with (i) as soon as
practicable after receipt of notice thereof in accordance with Section 6.2(d) of the LLC Agreement, a copy of the agenda describing the matters proposed to be discussed at such meeting (and Seller shall consider in good faith any comments of Buyer
with respect to such agenda), and (ii) as soon as practicable after the occurrence of any such meeting, a written summary of the matters discussed and decisions taken at such meeting. Seller shall refrain from voting on any material matter presented
at such meeting that was not set forth on the agenda 

  

 41 

 
delivered to Buyer prior to such meeting, and shall consult with Buyer prior to voting on any such matter. Seller shall use its Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to enable Buyer to send its management personnel to the Facilities at the Buyer’s expense to continue the Buyer’s transition efforts with respect to the Facilities. The Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide
the Buyer, at no cost to the Buyer, interim furnished office space, utilities and HVAC at each of the Facilities reasonably necessary to allow the Buyer and its representatives to conduct their transition efforts during the Interim Period;
provided that the Buyer shall be responsible for all other costs relating thereto, including telecommunications expenses and the cost of workers’ compensation and employer’s liability coverage, which will be maintained by the Buyer
for its employees. 
  
 (c) During the Interim
Period, Seller shall provide quarterly progress reports to Buyer regarding Exelon’s adherence (both by way of cost and timeliness) on each of the Major Capital Projects and capital fuel expenses identified on Schedule 5.3(c) as compared to the
budget set forth on Schedule 5.3(c). To the extent that there is or likely will be a material variance for any project from the budget set forth on Schedule 5.3(c), the Seller shall immediately notify the Buyer of such variation. In addition, in the
event that Seller has the capability under the terms of the LLC Agreement, Seller shall use its best efforts to prevent or to minimize such variation. 
  
 SECTION 5.4 Access and Investigations During Interim Period. During the Interim Period, British Energy will permit, and will use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Company to permit, Buyer to have reasonable access to each Facility, subject to any restrictions and procedures set forth in this Section 5.4 or otherwise reasonably imposed by the Company, to conduct
environmental studies and inspections (such as the review of existing environmental records and related material but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any environmental testing of soil samples or other invasive procedures with respect to
any Facility), and to observe and inspect all premises, properties, management, personnel, books, records, (including tax records), and other information, including without limitation all information necessary to enable Buyer to verify the
representations and warranties as set forth in Article 3 and to confirm that British Energy has complied with the covenants set forth herein, and any other information or documents associated with or pertaining to the Assets. All access and
inspections by Buyer are subject to the following provisions: 
  
 (a) Costs. All costs of such investigations and observations, including the compensation paid to the Persons involved and their expenses, and other discrete incremental costs incurred by the Company or British
Energy in connection with such investigation and observation, shall be borne by Buyer. 
  
 (b) Escorted Physical Access to Facilities. The Buyer shall, with respect to each Person designated by the Buyer to have escorted
access to the Facilities, provide the following information for each such Person to the contact designated by British Energy for the Facility (or his designee) no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the proposed time of access by such Person:
name, date of birth, social security number and the name of each nuclear power plant at which such Person has a current badge for access. British Energy shall be permitted where necessary in its sole discretion to limit the number of Persons to whom
escorted access is provided at any one time on account of reasonable logistical considerations. 
  

 42 

 Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Buyer shall, with respect to each
Person designated by the Buyer to have escorted access to the Facilities, provide reasonable notice to the contact designated by British Energy for the Facilities (or his designee), so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the
Facilities, and such Person shall comply with all existing requirements of the Facility and NRC for escorted access, including, but not limited to, background investigation, training requirements, fitness-for-duty requirements, a psychological
assessment and behavioral observation. 
  
 The
Buyer may request that any Person subject to the fitness-for-duty program of the Buyer be excused from compliance with the fitness-for-duty program of the Company for up to ninety (90) days, in which event the provisions of 10 C.F.R. Section 26.23
shall be applicable to such Person designated by the Buyer to have access to the Facilities. 
  
 (c) Access to Records and Information. (i) Under no circumstances shall the Company be required by British Energy to provide access
to any documents or information constituting or containing “Classified National Security Information” or “Restricted Data”, as defined in 10 C.F.R. Part 73. The Company shall not be required by British Energy to provide access to
any documents or information constituting or containing “Safeguards Information”, as defined in 10 C.F.R. Part 73, except to any Person designated by Buyer to have access to such information and Buyer shall have first obtained
authorization or concurrence from the NRC for the disclosure of such information to such Person. 
  
 (ii) Except as provided in clause (i) above, the Buyer shall have the right to receive copies of all documentary information and records
associated with the Assets, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8. 
  
 (d) Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, British Energy shall not be required to assist Buyer in obtaining from the Company: (i) access to confidential personnel records
and medical records except as allowed by applicable Laws, (ii) any information that British Energy, the Company or the Company’s or British Energy’s counsel reasonably believes constitutes or could reasonably be deemed to constitute a
waiver of the attorney-client privilege, or (iii) any information that British Energy or the Company is under a legal obligation not to supply; provided that British Energy shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the consent to
disclose all material information otherwise described in this Section 5.4. 
  
 (e) Contact with Company Related Persons. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall not contact any vendors, suppliers, contractors, customers or employees of the Company or British Energy regarding the
Facilities, the Assets or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement without prior written consent of British Energy, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any such permitted contacts shall be conducted in a manner which will
not materially adversely interfere with the operations or business relationships of the Company or British Energy with such Persons. 
  
 SECTION 5.5 Certain Notices. 
  
 (a) British Energy shall notify Buyer of the existence of any information or matter that becomes known to British Energy, which if in
existence on the date hereof or the 

  

 43 

 
Closing Date, would cause or would have a reasonable likelihood of causing any of the representations or warranties in Article 3 to be materially untrue or
incorrect. In particular, but without limitation, British Energy shall notify Buyer of (i) information regarding any actual or asserted Nuclear Liability, Environmental Liability or Environmental Claim, or (ii) communications from the NRC or any
other Governmental Authority regarding any Permit, Nuclear Law or Environmental Law, in each case with respect to the Company Group or the Assets. Unless Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f), the written notice pursuant to this
Section 5.5(a) shall be deemed to amend the original Schedule or Schedules as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 as of the date hereof and the Closing Date and to have
cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the existence of such matter. 
  
 (b) Buyer shall notify British Energy of the existence of any matter that becomes known to Buyer, which if, in existence on the date
hereof or the Closing Date, would cause or would have a reasonable likelihood of causing any of the representations or warranties in Article 4 to be untrue or incorrect. Unless British Energy terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g), the
written notice pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall be deemed to amend the original Schedule or Schedules as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 as of the date hereof
and the Closing Date and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the existence of such matter. 
  
 (c) Buyer shall notify British Energy if any information or matter comes to its attention which would cause
or would have a reasonable likelihood of causing any of the representations or warranties of British Energy in Article 3 above to be materially untrue or incorrect. British Energy shall then comply with Section 5.5(a) with respect to such
information. 
  
 (d) British Energy shall notify
the Buyer if any information or matter comes to its attention which would cause or would have a reasonable likelihood of causing any of the representations and warranties of Buyer in Article 4 above to be materially untrue or incorrect. Buyer shall
then comply with Section 5.5(b) with respect to such information.

with any audit, investigation, hearing or inquiry by any Governmental Authority, litigation or regulatory or other proceeding which may arise following the Closing Date and which relates to the ownership of the Company Group or operation of the
Assets by the Seller or the Company Group prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party shall bear its own expenses, including fees of attorneys or other representatives, in connection
with any such matter described in this Section 5.6(c) in which the Seller and the Buyer are subjects or parties or in which they have a material interest. 
  
 SECTION 5.7 Guarantees. Schedule 5.7 identifies each financial or performance guarantee by British Energy, and by any of its
Affiliates, of any obligations of or related to BEUSH and its Subsidiaries (including without limitation, the Company) (the “Guarantees”). Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly the release of the obligations of
any guarantor, or Buyer’s substitution for such guarantor, with respect to all Guarantees identified on Schedule 5.7. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless British Energy and its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives,
from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, obligations, claims, liabilities, expenses and causes of action relating to, resulting from, or arising out of any Guarantee with respect to acts, omissions or occurrences arising on or after the
Closing Date.

 45 

 
such public announcement, statement or other disclosure prior to such consultation and the approval of the other Party, except as may be required by Law or

 SECTION 5.10 Tax Matters. 
  
 (a) Preparation. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Seller for certain Tax

Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date. Seller shall permit Buyer to review and comment on such Tax Returns prior to filing. If Seller fails to file such Tax Returns prior to the date on which such Tax Returns are due, Buyer shall be
required to file such Tax Returns on behalf of the Company Group. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid the Taxes of all members of the Company Group other than the Company with respect to such periods except to the extent such Taxes are included as
current liabilities in Working Capital, which Buyer shall pay.

Seller. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid the Taxes of all members of the Company Group other than the Company with respect to such periods. Seller shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to
such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date except to the extent such Taxes are included as current liabilities in Working Capital, which Buyer shall pay. In the
case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be (A)
in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or gross receipts or sales or use Tax, determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (and for such
purposes, the taxable period of any member of the Company Group other than the Company shall be deemed to terminate at such time); and (B) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sale or use Tax and Taxes based upon or related to income,
deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the
number of calendar days in the entire period. 
  
 (iii) Allocation of Items from Company. The allocation of British Energy LP’s share of all items of the Company’s income gain, loss, deduction or credit for the Company’s taxable year which includes the Closing Date
between (x) the portion of the taxable year of 

  

 46 

 
BEUSH ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (y) the portion of the taxable year of BEUSH beginning on the Closing Date, shall be made
as if the Company’s taxable year ended on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date. 
  
 (b) Adjustment for Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. 
  
 (c) Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall pay fifty percent (50%) and Seller shall pay fifty percent (50%) of all transfer Taxes resulting
from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns or other documentation relating to such transfer Taxes; provided, however, that to the extent required by Applicable Law, Seller will
join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documents relating to such Taxes. Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of each such Tax Return or other document at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return or other
document is required to be filed. 
  
 (d) Tax
Sharing Agreements. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall ensure that no Tax indemnity agreement, Tax allocation agreement or Tax sharing agreement with respect to the Company Group (other than with respect to the Company or including only
members of the Company Group) is in force or effect and that no member of the Company Group other than the Company shall have any Liability after the Closing Date under any such agreement. 
  
 (e) Assistance and Cooperation. Seller and Buyer
shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, employees and agents reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records that are necessary
for the preparation of any Tax Returns that each Party is required to file under this Section 5.10, and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to such Tax Returns. 
  
 (f) Tax Indemnity. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Sections 5.10(f), 5.10(g)
and 7.6 hereof set forth the sole remedy of Buyer with respect to Losses of the nature described in this Section 5.10(f). Seller shall indemnify and hold the Company Group (other than the Company) and Buyer harmless from and against (i) any income
Taxes imposed on Seller resulting from the sale of the BEUSH Shares to Buyer and any other transaction herein contemplated, and (ii) any Liability for Taxes for any period or portion thereof that ends on or prior to the Closing Date which is imposed
on any member of the Company Group (other than the Company) under Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-6 (or under any comparable provision of state or local law imposing several liability upon members of a consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary
group). 
  
 (g) Tax Indemnity Claims.
Buyer shall notify Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of any pending or threatened Tax examination, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding relating to any member of the Company Group that could reasonably be
expected to result in an indemnification obligation of Seller arising under Section 5.10(f) or under Section 7.1 as a result of the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.23 (“Contested Taxes”). If
Buyer fails to provide such notice to 

  

 47 

 
Seller, Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification for such Contested Taxes if the failure shall preclude Seller from contesting the Tax. Seller shall,
at its own expense, control the defense and settlement of such Tax contest. Buyer shall have the right to participate in the conduct of any Tax contest relating to the Contested Taxes at its own expense, including through its own counsel and other
professional experts and shall be entitled to control such Tax contest in the event that Seller fails to do so. Seller shall consult with Buyer prior to the settlement of any such Tax contest and Seller shall not settle any such Tax contest if the
settlement would have an adverse tax effect in a taxable period ending after the Closing Date without the consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided however, that Seller shall not settle any Tax contest without the consent
of Buyer relating to a determination that the initial Tax Basis of the assets of the Company should not be increased by the amount of the nonqualified decommissioning liability. 
  
 (h) Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to all refunds of Taxes with respect to the Company Group
(other than the Company) relating to taxable periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date except to the extent included in the Working Capital adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2 or attributable to an increase in the initial Tax
Basis of the assets of the Company as a result of a redetermination of the initial purchase price of such assets attributable to the nonqualified decommissioning liability. Buyer shall, upon receipt of any refund by Buyer or the Company Group (other
than the Company), pay over to the Seller any such refund or the amount of any such benefit within five (5) Business Days of the earlier of receipt or entitlement thereto. Buyer shall, if Seller so requests and at Seller’s expense, cause the
relevant entity to file for and obtain any refunds or equivalent amounts to which Seller is entitled under this Section 5.10(h). Buyer shall permit Seller to control (at Seller’s expense) the prosecution of any such refund claimed and shall
cause the relevant entity to authorize by appropriate power of attorney such persons as the Seller shall designate to represent such entity with respect to such refund claimed. 
  
 SECTION 5.11 Intercompany Loans. Schedule 5.11 identifies all loans between BEUSH and its Subsidiaries
(other than the Company) and British Energy or its affiliates (other than BEUSH and its Subsidiaries) as of the date of this Agreement (the “Intercompany Loans”). On the Closing Date, Buyer shall repay, or cause to be repaid, in full to
British Energy or its affiliates the net amount of all Intercompany Loans (including any unpaid, accrued interest and other fees as of the Closing Date) to BEUSH and its Subsidiaries as identified on Schedule 5.11; provided that, in
determining the net amount of Intercompany Loans to be repaid under this Section 5.11, Buyer may discharge its obligation to repay or cause repayment of any Intercompany Loan to British Energy and its affiliates (other than BEUSH and its
Subsidiaries) through netting the amount of any Intercompany Loans due from British Energy and its affiliates (other than BEUSH and its Subsidiaries). British Energy shall deliver or make available to Buyer cancelled promissory notes or other proof
of repayment in full of Intercompany Loans at the Closing. 
  
 SECTION 5.12 Corporate Names. 
  
 (a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days from the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause BEUSH and each of its Subsidiaries to remove or cover the name
“British Energy” and any trademarks, trade names, brandmarks, brand names, trade dress or logos relating to such name from all signs, telephone 

  

 48 

 
listings, labels, stationery, office forms, packaging or other materials of BEUSH or its Subsidiaries. Thereafter, the Buyer shall neither use nor permit any
of BEUSH or its Subsidiaries to use such names or any trademark, trade name, brandmark, brand name, trade dress or logo relating or confusingly similar to such names in connection with the businesses of BEUSH or its Subsidiaries or otherwise. As
soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days thereafter, the Buyer shall cause each of BEUSH and its Subsidiaries to amend its certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, LLC Agreement,
limited liability company agreement and other applicable documents, subject to any required consent or approval of any other partner or member, which Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain, so as to delete any reference to “British
Energy” in its legal name and, within such ninety (90) day period, to make all required filings with Governmental Authorities to effect such amendments. 
  

(b) Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 5.12
would be inadequate, and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief may be granted without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of
legal remedy in any proceeding which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 5.12. 
  
 SECTION 5.13 ISRA Clearance. Seller shall obtain at its sole expense (and deliver a copy to Buyer), pursuant to the New Jersey
Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:lK-6 et seq. and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“ISRA”), one of the following as required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) a letter of non-applicability
of ISRA from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”); (ii) a no further action letter under ISRA; (iii) a remediation agreement pursuant to ISRA reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller, under which the Buyer will
perform or cause to be performed such remediation, subject to any indemnification from Seller available hereunder with respect to environmental matters and in connection with which Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided all necessary financial
assurance required by NJDEP (except to the extent NJDEP affirmatively requires that Seller (x) be so designated as the party responsible for performance of such remediation and/or (y) provide such financial assurance); (iv) approval of an
application for one of the following exemptions from ISRA: (A) a “de minimis quantity” exemption, (B) an underground storage tank exemption, (C) a minimal environmental concern exemption, (D) a “remediation in progress waiver”;
or (v) any other approval or authorization of the NJDEP reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller. 
  
 SECTION 5.14 Reimbursement of Nonqualified Decommissioning Funds. The NQDF Tax Reimbursement Share of any payments made to the
Company for NQDF Tax Reimbursement shall be for the account of Seller, provided that (i) on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall be permitted to distribute to itself any or all of the NQDF Tax Reimbursement Share distributed to British Energy
LP (provided that Exelon shall have received an equal distribution to the amount distributed to British Energy LP), and (ii) with respect to any NQDF Tax Reimbursement Share not distributed to Seller in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section
5.14 or received after the Closing Date, and to the extent not included as an asset in either the Company’s Working Capital Adjustment Statement or BEUSH’s Working Capital Adjustment Statement, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to
such NQDF Tax 

  

 49 

 
Reimbursement Share in immediately available funds, within sixty (60) days of receipt of such payments by the Company. 
  
 SECTION 5.15 Documents Relating to Liability for Payment of
One-Time Fee for Spent Fuel Disposal. Prior to Closing, Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain all documents from the files of the Company Group and their counsel that relate to the retained liability of the previous
owners of TMI-1 and Oyster Creek for the payment to DOE of the deferred one-time fee for spent fuel discharged from TMI-1 and Oyster Creek pursuant to the DOE Standard Spent Fuel Contracts for those Facilities, including, but not limited to, the
relevant documents from the Company’s and its counsel’s files from the negotiations leading to the purchase and sale agreements for the acquisition of TMI-1 and Oyster Creek and any correspondence with DOE relating to the payment of the
deferred one-time fee for TMI-1 and Oyster Creek. Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with a copy of any documents obtained pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, provided that Seller shall not be required to provide Buyer with documents or
portions of documents containing: (i) any information that the Company or the Company’s counsel reasonably believes constitutes or could reasonably be deemed to constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege as to the Company, or (ii) any
information that Seller or the Company is under a legal obligation not to disclose to third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that documents are withheld from Buyer as a result of asserting (x) attorney-client privilege or (y)
nondisclosure contractual obligations, Seller shall provide Buyer with a list of such documents citing the basis upon which each document is withheld (except to the extent such disclosure itself would violate such privilege or obligations) and, if
the basis for withholding is attorney-client privilege, the name of the party asserting the privilege; provided that, the assertion of the privilege by the Company or a third party, including Exelon or its affiliates, shall in no event be deemed to
constitute a breach by Seller of its obligations under this Section 5.15. In addition, Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek waiver of any attorney-client privilege and to protect against, or cause to be protected against, such
documents from being destroyed or lost during the Interim Period. 
  
 SECTION 5.16 Prohibited Transactions. From and after the date hereof, none of the Seller nor any member of the Company Group, nor their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, stockholders,
representatives or agents, nor anyone acting on behalf of any of them, shall, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any non-public information to, any person or entity (other than Buyer
and Exelon and their respective representatives) concerning any sale of BEUSH Shares or similar transaction involving the Company or the Assets (collectively “Prohibited Transactions”) unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to and in
accordance with Article 8 hereof. 
  
 SECTION 5.17
Financial Statements. (a) Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Interim Period, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer consolidated financial statements of the Company Group, including a
consolidated balance sheet as of the end of such calendar month and income and cash-flow statements for the one-month period then ending. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.17, such financial statements shall (a) be in accordance with the books and
records of the Company Group, (b) be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby (except for the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments), and (c) present fairly and accurately in
accordance with GAAP the assets, liabilities (including, without limitation, all reserves) and 

  

 50 

 
financial condition of the Company Group as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations for the periods covered thereby. 
  
 (b) Seller shall deliver to Buyer, as soon as practicable
after they become available to Seller, the audited consolidated balance sheets of each of BEUSH, BEUILLC and British Energy, LP, in each case as of December 31, 2002 and the related audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 2002. 
  
 SECTION 5.18
Transmission. During the Interim Period, Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Company to obtain and/or maintain any and all necessary transmission rights and services required in order to deliver the energy and
capacity output of the Facilities to the purchasers of such output. 
  
 SECTION 5.19 Risk of Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.19 and Article 7, during the Interim Period all risk of loss or damage to the property included in the Assets shall be borne by the Seller. If
during the Interim Period the Assets are damaged by fire or other casualty (each such event, an “Event of Loss”) or are taken by a Governmental Authority by exercise of the power of eminent domain (each, a “Taking”), the
following provisions shall apply: 
  
 (a) Upon
the occurrence of (i) any one or more Events of Loss, as a result of which the aggregate costs to restore, repair or replace, less any insurance proceeds received or payable to the Company in connection with such Event or Events of Loss (provided
that any insurance proceeds received or payable in connection with the Event or Events of Loss are either used to restore, repair or replace such Event or Events of Loss) are reasonably estimated to be equal to or less than $10,000,000, and/or (ii)
any one or more Takings, as a result of which the aggregate condemnation proceeds equal an amount reasonably estimated to be equal to or less than $10,000,000, shall have no effect on the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that any
condemnation proceeds received or payable in connection with the Taking or Takings shall be excluded from the calculation of Company Working Capital at Closing; 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence of (i) any one or more Events of Loss, as a result of which the aggregate costs to
restore, repair or replace, less any insurance proceeds received or payable to the Company in connection with such Event or Events of Loss (provided that any insurance proceeds received or payable in connection with the Event or Events of Loss are
used to restore, repair or replace such Event or Events of Loss) are reasonably estimated to be greater than $10,000,000, and/or (ii) any one or more Takings, as a result of which the aggregate condemnation proceeds are reasonably estimated to be
greater than $10,000,000 (a “Major Loss”), Seller shall have, in the case of a Major Loss relating to one or more Events of Loss, the option, exercised by notice to the Buyer, to cause the Company to restore, repair or replace the affected
Assets. If the Seller elects not to cause the Company to restore, repair or replace the Assets affected by a Major Loss, or such Major Loss is the result of one or more Takings, the provisions of Section 5.19(c) will apply; 
  
 (c) In the event that the Seller elects not to cause the
Company to restore, repair or replace a Major Loss, or in the event that the Seller, having elected to cause the Company to repair, replace or restore the Major Loss, fails to cause the Company to complete such repair, replacement or restoration
prior to the Closing Date, or in the event that a Major 

  

 51 

 
Loss is the result of one or more Takings, then the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days following the Seller’s election not to cause the Company to
restore, repair or replace, failure to complete, or the occurrence of such Takings, as the case may be, negotiate in good faith an equitable adjustment in the Purchase Price to reflect the impact of the Major Loss, as mitigated by any repair,
replacement or restoration work actually completed by the Company, on the Assets, and proceed to the Closing at a Purchase Price so adjusted. To assist the Buyer in its evaluation of any and all Events of Loss, the Seller shall provide the Buyer
such access to the Assets and such information as the Buyer may reasonably request in connection therewith; and 
  
 (d) In the event that the Parties fail to reach agreement on an equitable adjustment of the Purchase Price within the thirty (30) days
provided in Section 5.19(c), then the Buyer shall have the right to elect, exercisable by notice to the Seller within fifteen (15) days immediately following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period, to (i) proceed with the consummation of the
transaction at the Closing, with a reduction in the Purchase Price, consistent with the Seller’s last offer of equitable adjustment thereto as contemplated by the penultimate sentence of Section 5.19(c) communicated to the Buyer, in which event
the Seller shall assign over or deliver to the Buyer at the Closing all condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds that the Seller receives, or to which the Seller become entitled by virtue of the Event of Loss or Taking with respect to the Assets,
less any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller in connection with such Events of Loss or Taking or in obtaining such, condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds, and less the reduction in the Purchase Price made pursuant to this
clause (i), or (ii) submit the matter to dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.16 to determine the adjustment, if any, in the Purchase Price, which determination shall be binding on all Parties. If the Buyer fails to make the election within the
fifteen (15) day period described in the preceding sentence, the Buyer will be deemed to have made the election to proceed with the Closing under clause (i) hereof. 
  
 (e) For the avoidance of doubt, any Event of Loss which has been repaired, replaced or restored by Seller
pursuant to Section 5.19(b) or any Taking or Event of Loss which has been the subject of a purchase price reduction pursuant to Section 5.19(c) or 5.19(d) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether Seller has breached any
representation or warranty hereunder, including for purposes of Section 6.2(a) and Section 7.1(i).

Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, subject to the other terms and limitations set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall, indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including the Company
Group) and their respective directors, officers, partners and employees (each such Person, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by
any Buyer Indemnified Party (i) for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 or in any certificate delivered by Seller at the Closing with respect to such representations and warranties, (ii) for any breach of the
covenants or obligations of Seller under this Agreement, (iii) for any Seller Ownership Period Environmental Liability, or (iv) for any Pre-Closing ERISA Liability. 
  
 SECTION 7.2 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, subject to the other terms and
limitations set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, partners and 

  

 55 

 
employees (each such Person, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and
all Losses actually incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party (i) for any breach of Buyer’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Buyer at the Closing with respect to such representations and
warranties, or (ii) for any breach of the covenants or obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 7.3 Limitations on Indemnity. 
  
 (a) Except for the specific indemnity provided in Section 7.7 of this Agreement, anything in this Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Seller ever be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1 or any of the other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 5.10 (or to pay any other
amount in connection with or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (i) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses shall have exceeded $5 million (the “Deductible”), whereupon only Losses in
excess of the Deductible shall be subject to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that any individual Loss of less than $100,000 that is otherwise subject to indemnification hereunder shall be disregarded in determining whether any
Buyer Indemnified Party has incurred Losses up to or exceeding the Deductible, or (ii) in an amount exceeding, in the aggregate, 75% of the Adjusted Purchase Price. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer agree that the
recovery by any Indemnified Party of any damages suffered or incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result of any breach by another Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement shall be limited to the actual damages suffered or incurred by
an Indemnified Party as a result of the breach by the breaching Party of its obligations hereunder, and in no event shall the breaching Party be liable to an Indemnified Party for any indirect, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages
(including any damages on account of lost profits or opportunities or lost or delayed generation) suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of the breach by the breaching Party of any of its obligations hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 7.4 Indemnity Procedures. 
  
 (a) If a claim by a third party is made against a Seller
Indemnified Party or a Buyer Indemnified Party (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) or an Indemnified Party shall otherwise learn of an assertion or of a potential claim, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with
respect thereto under this Article 7 (other than with respect to an indemnity arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.23, which shall be governed by Section 5.10(g)), such Indemnified Party
shall promptly furnish written notice of such claim (in reasonable detail and including the factual basis for such claim and, to the extent known, the amount thereof) to the Party against whom indemnity is sought (such Party, in such capacity, the
“Indemnifying Party”). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all material notices and documents (including court papers) received or
transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to such claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to deliver prompt written notice of a claim shall not affect the indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party was actually disadvantaged by such delay in delivery of notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall 

  

 56 

 
have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging unconditionally its obligations to
indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim (an “Acceptance Notice”) and if it delivers an Acceptance Notice, to elect to undertake, conduct and control (through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense), the
settlement or defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the conduct and control of such settlement and defense, it shall have the right to participate
in the settlement or defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Parry elects to undertake, conduct and control the settlement or defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party). So long as the Indemnifying Party,
at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, (i) has undertaken the defense of, and assumed full responsibility for all indemnified liabilities with respect to, such claim, (ii) is reasonably contesting such claim in good faith through
appropriate proceedings, and (iii) has taken such action (including the posting of a bond, deposit or other security) as may be necessary to prevent any action to foreclose a lien against or attachment of the property of the Indemnified Party for
payment of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim; provided, however, that, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim if it has waived in writing any right to indemnity by the
Indemnifying Party for such claim; and, provided, further, that, if within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity under this Section 7.4(a), the Indemnifying Party does not notify the
Indemnified Party that it elects (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense) to undertake the defense thereof and assume full responsibility for all indemnified liabilities with respect thereto, or gives such notice and thereafter fails to
contest such claim in good faith or to prevent action to foreclose a lien against or attachment of the Indemnified Party’s property as contemplated above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise such claim
and the Indemnified Party shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity for such claim under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Any claim on account of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement which does not involve a claim of a third
party will be asserted by prompt written notice (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts or circumstances that allegedly give rise to such claim and, to the extent known, the amount thereof) given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying
Party from whom such indemnification is sought. The failure or delay by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this
Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually disadvantaged by such delay in delivery of notice of such claim. 
  
 (c) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any claim (an “Indemnified
Claim”), such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Indemnified
Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Indemnified Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with such 

  

 57 

 
Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim. 

 
 SECTION 7.5 Procedural Requirements for Environmental Claims
by Buyer. The provisions of this Section 7.5 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the procedures set forth in Section 7.4 (which shall be deemed superseded to the extent inconsistent with this Section 7.5). Buyer will provide
Seller with prompt notice describing in reasonable detail any condition or claim in respect of which Losses arising out of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.20 or any Seller Ownership Period Environmental Liability are or
may be incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if such notice is not given within a sufficient period of time or in sufficient detail to apprise Seller of the nature of any such condition or claim (in each instance
taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect thereto), the costs and expenses incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with such condition or claim shall not constitute Losses to the extent that Seller’s position
is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Seller will have the option to participate, at their own expense; in the resolution of any such conditions or claims (and, in any event, Buyer will consult in good faith with Seller in respect of the
resolution of any such conditions or claims). Buyer will keep Seller apprised of the status of and any action by or on behalf of Buyer or any member of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates with respect to all such conditions or claims.
If Seller is not given, within a sufficient period of time or in sufficient detail, information necessary to reasonably apprise Seller of the status of and any action by or on behalf of Buyer, any member of the Company Group or their respective
Affiliates with respect to any such conditions or claims (in each instance taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect thereto), the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer or any member of the Company Group in connection with such
condition or claim shall not constitute Losses to the extent that Seller’s position is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. 
  
 SECTION 7.6 Survival and Time Limitation. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the
transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after Closing, any claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party that Seller is liable to such Buyer Indemnified Party under the terms of this Agreement for breach of any representations and
warranties of Seller must be given to Seller on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, except for (i) any claims for breach of the representations and warranties of Seller in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12,
3.16, 3.17 and 3.23, and any claims made by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.10, which must be given to Seller (or not at all) on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations with respect to
the matters covered thereby, (ii) any claim for breach of the representations and warranties of Seller in Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.36, which shall survive indefinitely, (iii) except as described in clause (iv) of this Section 7.6, any claim for
breach of the representations and warranties of Seller in Section 3.20, which must be given to Seller on or prior to the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, (iv) any claim for breach of Section 3.20 relating to the matters
described in Section 7.7 hereof, which shall survive until the later of the complete and conclusive resolution of any such matters with any applicable Governmental Authority or the payment in full of any amounts owed to each Buyer Indemnified Party
under Section 7.7, and (v) any claim for breach of Section 3.37, which shall survive for the initial license term of each respective Facility. Notwithstanding the initial sentence of this Section 7.6, after Closing, any claim by any Seller
Indemnified Party that Buyer is liable to such 

  

 58 

 
Seller Indemnified Party for a breach of any representations and warranties of Buyer must be given to Buyer on or prior to the date that is twelve (12)
months after the Closing Date. All covenants and other agreements of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed after the Closing shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations
with respect to the matters covered thereby. 
  
 SECTION 7.7
Specific Indemnity by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses actually
incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party that were incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of the “Fish Kill” described in Schedule 3.20 hereof (including without limitation any and all Losses actually incurred in connection
with the allegations set forth in Schwartz v. AmerGen Energy Company. Exelon Generation Company, British Energy Company et al., Superior Court of New Jersey, Docket L-2075-03 as filed on July 25, 2003, and any subsequent
amendments to the allegations related to the “Fish Kill”, as described in Schedule 3.20 hereof). In connection with making an Indemnified Claim, the Parties shall follow the Indemnification Procedures described in Sections 7.4 and 7.5
above. 
  
 SECTION 7.8 Further Indemnity
Limitations. The amount of any indemnifiable Loss shall be reduced (i) to the extent any Indemnified Party actually receives any insurance proceeds with respect to such Loss, (ii) to take into account any net Tax benefit arising from
the recognition of the Loss, (iii) to take into account any payment actually received by an Indemnified Party from a third party with respect to such Loss, and (iv) to the extent of any Loss that is attributable to a determination that the initial
Tax Basis of the assets of the Company should not be increased by the amount of the nonqualified decommissioning liability. 
  
 SECTION 7.9 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, except as provided in Section 5.10 of this Agreement for
any claim in respect of Taxes, the indemnification provisions of this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy of each Party (including the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Parties) (i) for any breach of any
Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or (ii) otherwise with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to
the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action it or any of its Affiliates may have against another Party hereunder with respect thereto. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
  
 Termination 
  
 SECTION 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: 
  
 (a) by mutual written agreement of British Energy and Buyer;

  
 (b) by British Energy or Buyer if the Closing
shall not have been consummated on or before the day that is six (6) months after the date hereof, unless the reason that the Closing has not occurred shall be the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to fulfill its obligations
hereunder; provided, however, (i) that if the reason the 

  

 59 

 
Closing has not occurred is because Buyer Regulatory Approvals or British Energy Regulatory Approvals have not been obtained and Commercially Reasonable
Efforts are being undertaken to obtain such regulatory approvals by the Party responsible for obtaining such regulatory approvals, the reference to “the day that is six (6) months after the date hereof” in this Section 8.1(b) shall be
extended for an additional six (6) months and neither British Energy nor Buyer may terminate this Agreement during such extended period so long as such Commercially Reasonable Efforts continue, or (ii) that if the reason the Closing has not occurred
is because Exelon is attempting to prevent the transfer of the Seller’s indirect interest in the Company and Seller has timely commenced arbitration proceedings or other legal action with Exelon regarding Exelon’s action or inaction with
respect to such transfer, the reference to “the day that is six (6) months after the date hereof” in this Section 8.l(b) shall be extended for an additional six (6) months and neither British Energy nor Buyer may terminate this Agreement
during such extended period; 
  
 (c) by British
Energy or Buyer if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body having competent jurisdiction; 
  
 (d) by Buyer if any Buyer Regulatory Approvals shall have
been denied (and a petition for rehearing, a petition for review or refiling of an application initially denied without prejudice shall also have been denied) or shall have been granted subject to terms and conditions that would likely have a
Material Adverse Effect, and all appeals of any such actions shall have been taken and been unsuccessful; 
  
 (e) by British Energy if any British Energy Regulatory Approvals shall have been denied (and a petition for rehearing, a petition for
review or refiling of an application initially denied without prejudice shall also have been denied) or shall have been granted subject to terms and conditions that would likely have a Material Adverse Effect, and all appeals of any such actions
shall have been taken and been unsuccessful; 
  
 (f) by Buyer if there has been a material violation or breach by British Energy of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and such violation or breach is not cured by the earlier of the Closing Date or the date
thirty (30) days after receipt by British Energy of written notice specifying particularly such violation or breach, and such violation or breach has not been waived by Buyer; 
  
 (g) by British Energy if there has been a material violation or breach by Buyer of any covenant,
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and such violation or breach is not cured by the earlier of the Closing Date or the date thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer of written notice specifying particularly such violation or
breach, and such violation or breach has not been waived by British Energy; 
  
 (h) by Buyer or Seller if Exelon exercises its right of first refusal to acquire British Energy’s interests in the Company pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Limited Liability Company Agreement within the period of
time in which such right may be exercised as provided in Section 7.3 of the Limited Liability Company Agreement.

 The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement shall give notice of such termination to the other Party
in the manner set forth in Section 8.2. 
  
 SECTION 8.2
Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Seller or Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall promptly be given by the terminating Party to the other Parties, and this Agreement shall
thereupon terminate provided, however, the termination of this Agreement shall not release any party from liability for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein prior to the date of termination. Following any
such termination, Buyer and Seller will continue to be bound by the obligations set forth in Sections 5.8 and 5.9 and Article 7. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, all filings, applications and other submissions made to any
Governmental Authority shall, to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the Governmental Authority to which they were made. 
  
 SECTION 8.3 Remedies. 
  
 (a) Seller’s Remedies. (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the failure by Buyer to fulfill any
undertaking or commitment provided for herein on the part of Buyer that is required to be fulfilled on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller, at its sole option, may enforce specific performance of this Agreement or pursue any rights or remedies
available at law or in equity. 
  
 (b)
Seller’s Remedy for Termination Pursuant to Section 8.1(b), 8.1(c), 8.1(d) or 8.1(e). In the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any of Section 8.1(b) through 8.1(e), (ii) such termination resulted from a failure to obtain applicable regulatory approvals, and (iii)
such failure is attributable to the announcement or consummation after the date hereof of any transaction pursuant to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates would acquire any electric generation facilities or uncommitted electric generating capacity,
Buyer shall pay to Seller, no later than five (5) days after any such termination, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, an amount equal to $8,295,000. 
  
 (c) Buyer’s Remedies. Except as set forth in
Section 8.3(d), notwithstanding anything herein provided to the contrary, upon failure of Seller to fulfill any undertaking or commitment provided for herein on the part of Seller that is required to be fulfilled on or prior to the Closing Date,
Buyer, at its sole option, may enforce specific performance of this Agreement or pursue any rights or remedies available at law or in equity. 
  
 (d) Buyer’s Remedy for Termination Pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or 8.1(h). In the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by
Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 8.1(b) and the Closing shall not have been consummated as a result of Exelon’s exercise of any of its rights under the Limited Liability Company Agreement or Exelon’s material interference with the
transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 8.l(h), Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such termination shall be a termination payment in the amount of $8,295,000 (the “Break Up Fee”), payable
by Seller to Buyer by wire transfer no later than five (5) days after the consummation of any sale of the BEUSH Shares which directly or indirectly transfers the Company Group’s ownership interest in the Company to Exelon or an Affiliate
thereof; provided that, in the event that, following such a termination of this Agreement, Seller 

  

 61 

 
has not consummated such a sale of its direct or indirect ownership interests in the Company within one (1) year of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall
make a payment to Buyer, within three (3) Business Days after the first anniversary of the date hereof, in the amount of $1,000,000, such amount to be deducted from any payment of the Break Up Fee upon consummation of such a sale within three (3)
years from the date of this Agreement. In the event such a sale of Seller’s direct or indirect ownership interests in the Company is not consummated within three (3) years from the date of this Agreement, Seller shall have no further liability
to Buyer for termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or 8.1(h). The Parties agree that Buyer’s actual damages as a result of such termination would be extremely difficult to calculate, and that such payment constitutes liquidated damages for the
consequences of such termination and is not a penalty. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding Section 8.3(d), in the event that the transaction which resulted in the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) is terminated within three (3) years from the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall as soon
as practicable enter into a 90-day exclusivity agreement whereby the Buyer shall be given the opportunity, on an exclusive basis, to acquire the BEUSH Shares on terms to be agreed upon by the Parties. Such exclusivity agreement shall contain
customary rights and obligations and shall be negotiated in good faith by the Parties. 
  
 (e) Election of Remedies. (i) Except as set forth in Section 8.3(d) hereof, if any Party elects to pursue singularly any right or
remedy available to it under this Section 8.3, then such Party may at any time thereafter cease pursuing that right or remedy and elect to pursue any other right or remedy available to it under this Section 8.3. All rights and remedies hereunder
(except those set forth in Section 8.3(d)) shall be cumulative. Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, no delay or forbearance by a Party in the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder shall be deemed a waiver by such party
of its right hereunder to exercise or enforce such right or remedy.

of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 SECTION 9.6 Counterparts;

with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision

 SECTION 9.8 Captions. The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning
or interpretation hereof; 
  
 SECTION 9.9 Third Party
Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Sections 5.8, 5.12 and 7.2, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the Parties and their

 SECTION
9.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the
transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 
  

 64

court of the State of New York sitting in Newcastle County or any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of New York and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court of the State of New York or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such Federal court. Each of the Parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. 
  
 (b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court of the State of New York sitting in New
York County or any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of New York. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court. 
  
 SECTION 9.13
Waiver of Punitive and Other Damages and Jury Trial. 
  
 (a) THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, LOST PROFITS, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES IN ANY ARBITRATION, LAWSUIT, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT
OF OR RESULTING FROM ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 (b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND
DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. 
  

 65 

 (c) EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY
OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (iii)
IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.13 
  
 SECTION 9.14 Good Faith Covenant. The Parties agree that their actions and dealings with each other
pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to an express covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

Resolution. Prior to instituting any litigation or other dispute resolution in connection with this Agreement, the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute or claim by referring any such matter, within ten (10) days of
written notice of any such dispute or claim, to one of their respective executive officers for resolution. The executive officers of the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute or claim within thirty (30) days thereafter. 
  
 SECTION 9.17 Change in Law. If and to the extent that
any Laws or regulations that govern any aspect of this Agreement shall change, so as to make any aspect of this transaction unlawful or unpracticable, then the Parties shall endeavor, to the extent reasonably possible, to enter into such amendments
to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary for this Agreement to accommodate any such legal or regulatory changes, without materially changing the overall benefits or consideration expected hereunder by either Party. 
  
 SECTION 9.18 Time is of the Essence; Action on a Business
Day. Time is of the essence under this Agreement. If the date specified in this Agreement for the giving of any notice or the taking of any action is not a Business Day (or if the period during which any notice is required to be given or any
action taken expires on a date which is not a Business Day), then the date for giving such notice or taking such action (and the expiration date of such period during which notice is required to be given or action taken) shall be the next day which
is a Business Day. 
  
 SECTION 9.19 Exelon Tag
Along. In the event that Exelon exercises its right to participate in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 7.4 of the LLC Agreement, the Parties agree that this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that the provisions hereof shall automatically be deemed adjusted, mutatis mutandis, to reflect the fact that only fifty percent (50%) of the BEUSH Shares will be sold
to Buyer, and the Purchase Price will be commensurately reduced, and Buyer agrees to acquire a 25% interest in the Company from Exelon in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Section 7.4 of the LLC Agreement.

shall, with respect to each Person designated by the Buyer to have escorted access to the Facilities for purposes of this Section 5.4, provide the following information for each such Person to the contact designated by British Energy for the
Facility (or his designee) no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the proposed time of access by such Person: name, date of birth social security number and the name of each nuclear power plant at which such Person has a current badge for
access. British Energy shall be permitted where necessary in its sole discretion to limit the number of Persons to whom escorted access is provided at any one time on account of reasonable logistical considerations. 
  
 Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Buyer
shall, with respect to each Person designated by the Buyer to have escorted access to the Facilities, provide reasonable notice to the contact designated by British Energy for the Facilities (or his designee), so as not to interfere with the normal

 41 

 
all existing requirements of the Facility and NRC for escorted access, including, but not limited to, background investigation, training requirements,
fitness-for-duty requirements, a psychological assessment and behavioral observation. 
  
 The Buyer may request that any Person subject to the fitness-for-duty program of the Buyer be excused from compliance with the

 (c) Access to Records and Information. (i) Under no
circumstances shall the Company be required by British Energy to provide access to any documents or information constituting or containing “Classified National Security Information” or “Restricted Data”, as defined in 10 C.F.R.
Part 73. The Company shall not be required by British Energy to provide access to any documents or information constituting or containing “Safeguards Information”, as defined in 10 C.F.R. Part 73, except to any Person designated by Buyer
to have access to such information and Buyer shall have first obtained authorization or concurrence from the NRC for the disclosure of such information to such Person.

in obtaining from the Company: (i) access to confidential personnel records and medical records except as allowed by applicable Laws, (ii) any information that British Energy, the Company or the Company’s or British Energy’s counsel
reasonably believes constitutes or could reasonably be deemed to constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, or (iii) any information that British Energy or the Company is under a legal obligation not to supply; provided that
British Energy shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the consent to disclose all material information otherwise described in this Section 5.4. 
  
 (e) Contact with Company Related Persons. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall not contact any
vendors, suppliers, contractors, customers or employees of British Energy regarding the Facilities, the Assets or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement without prior written consent of British Energy, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and any such permitted contacts shall be conducted in a manner which will not materially adversely interfere with the operations or business relationships of the Company or British Energy with such Persons. 
  
 SECTION 5.5 Certain Notices. 
  
 (a) British Energy shall notify Buyer of the existence of
any information or matter that becomes known to British Energy, which if in existence on the date hereof or the Closing Date, would cause or would have a reasonable likelihood of causing any of the representations or warranties in Article 3 to be
materially untrue or incorrect. In particular, but without limitation, British Energy shall notify Buyer of (i) information regarding any actual or asserted Nuclear Liability, Environmental Liability or Environmental Claim, or (ii) communications
from the NRC or any other Governmental Authority regarding any Permit, 

  

 42 

 
Nuclear Law or Environmental Law, in each case with respect to the Company Group or the Assets. Unless Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.1(f), the written notice pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) shall be deemed to amend the original Schedule or Schedules as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 as of the
date hereof and the Closing Date and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the existence of such matter. 
  
 (b) Buyer shall notify British Energy of the existence of any matter that becomes known to Buyer, which if

pursuant to Section 8.1(g), the written notice pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall be deemed to amend the original Schedule or Schedules as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in
Article 4 as of the date hereof and the Closing Date and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the existence of such matter. 
  
 (c) Buyer shall notify British Energy if any information or
matter comes to its attention which would cause or would have a reasonable likelihood of causing any of the representations or warranties of British Energy in Article 3 above to be materially untrue or incorrect. British Energy shall then comply

 (d) British Energy shall notify the Buyer if any information or matter comes to its attention which would cause or would have a reasonable likelihood of causing any of the representations and warranties of Buyer in Article 4 above to be

 (c) After the Closing Date, each Party shall have reasonable access to the employees of the other Party, for purposes of consultation or
otherwise, to the extent that such 

  

 43 

 
access may reasonably be required in connection with matters relating to or affected by the operations of the Seller or the Company Group prior to the
Closing Date. The Parties agree to cooperate in connection with any audit, investigation, hearing or inquiry by any Governmental Authority, litigation or regulatory or other proceeding which may arise following the Closing Date and which relates to
the ownership of the Company Group or operation of the Assets by the Seller or the Company Group prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party shall bear its own expenses, including fees

 SECTION 5.7 Guarantees. Schedule 5.7
identifies each financial or performance guarantee by British Energy, and by any of its Affiliates, of any obligations of or related to BEUSH and its Subsidiaries (including without limitation, the Company) (the “Guarantees”). Buyer shall

hold harmless British Energy and its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives, from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, obligations, claims, liabilities, expenses and causes of action relating to resulting from, or arising out of
any Guarantee with respect to acts, omissions or occurrences arising on or after the Closing Date. 
  
 SECTION 5.8 Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, British Energy and Buyer agree that prior
to the Closing Date and after any termination of this Agreement, each will observe the confidentiality requirements of Section 6.7 of the LLC Agreement; provided, however, that any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or

or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that neither party (nor any employee, representative or other agent thereof) shall disclose (A) any information that is not
relevant to an understanding of the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the identity of any Party to this Agreement (or its employees, representatives or agents) or other information that could lead any person

 SECTION 5.9 Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Parties shall consult with each other before issuing

 44 

 SECTION 5.10 Tax Matters. 
  
 (a) Preparation. The following provisions shall
govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Seller for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date: 
  
 (i) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed
all Tax Returns for all members of the Company Group other than the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date. Seller shall permit Buyer to review and comment on such Tax Returns prior to
filing. If Seller fails to file such Tax Returns prior to the date on which such Tax Returns are due, Buyer shall be required to file such Tax Returns on behalf of the Company Group. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid the Taxes of all members of
the Company Group other than the Company with respect to such periods except to the extent such Taxes are included as current liabilities in Working Capital, which Buyer shall pay. 
  
 (ii) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to
be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of all members of the Company Group other than the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit Seller to review and comment
on such Tax Returns prior to filing and shall consider in good faith any changes reasonably suggested by Seller. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid the Taxes of all members of the Company Group other than the Company with respect to such periods.
Seller shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date except to
the extent such Taxes are included as current liabilities in Working Capital, which Buyer shall pay. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, the
portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be (A) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or gross receipts or sales or use Tax, determined based on an interim
closing of the books as of the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (and for such purposes, the taxable period of any member of the Company Group other than the Company shall be deemed to terminate at such time); and
(B) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sale or use Tax and Taxes based upon or related to income, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar
days in the period ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. 
  
 (iii) Allocation of Items from Company. The allocation of British Energy LP’s share of all items of the Company’s income
gain, loss, deduction or credit for the Company’s taxable year which includes the Closing Date between (x) the portion of the taxable year of BEUSH ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (y) the portion of the taxable year
of BEUSH beginning on the Closing Date, shall be made as if the Company’s taxable year ended on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date. 
  
 (b) Adjustment for Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. 
  

 45 

 (c) Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall pay fifty percent (50%) and Seller shall pay fifty
percent (50%) of all transfer Taxes resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns or other documentation relating to such transfer Taxes; provided, however, that to the
extent required by Applicable Law, Seller will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documents relating to such Taxes. Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of each such Tax Return or other document at least thirty (30) days prior
to the date on which such Tax Return or other document is required to be filed. 
  
 (d) Tax Sharing Agreements. On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall ensure that no Tax indemnity agreement, Tax allocation
agreement or Tax sharing agreement with respect to the Company Group (other than with respect to the Company or including only members of the Company Group) is in force or effect and that no member of the Company Group other than the Company shall
have any Liability after the Closing Date under any such agreement. 
  
 (e) Assistance and Cooperation. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, employees and agents reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns,
including maintaining and making available to each other all records that are necessary for the preparation of any Tax Returns that each Party is required to file under this Section 5.10, and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to such
Tax Returns. 
  
 (f) Tax Indemnity.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Sections 5.10(f), 5.10(g) and 7.6 hereof set forth the sole remedy of Buyer with respect to Losses of the nature described in this Section 5.10(f). Seller shall indemnify and hold the Company
Group (other than the Company) and Buyer harmless from and against (i) any income Taxes imposed on Seller resulting from the sale of the BEUSH Shares to Buyer and any other transaction herein contemplated, and (ii) any Liability for Taxes for any
period or portion thereof that ends on or prior to the Closing Date which is imposed on any member of the Company Group (other than the Company) under Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-6 (or under any comparable provision of state or local law imposing
several liability upon members of a consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group). 
  
 (g) Tax Indemnity Claims. Buyer shall notify Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of any pending or
threatened Tax examination, audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding relating to any member of the Company Group that could reasonably be expected to result in an indemnification obligation of Seller arising under Section 5.10(f) or
under Section 7.1 as a result of the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.23 (“Contested Taxes”). If Buyer fails to provide such notice to Seller, Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification for
such Contested Taxes if the failure shall preclude Seller from contesting the Tax. Seller shall, at its own expense, control the defense and settlement of such Tax contest. Buyer shall have the right to participate in the conduct of any Tax contest
relating to the Contested Taxes at its own expense, including through its own counsel and other professional experts and shall be entitled to control such Tax contest in the event that Seller fails to do so. Seller shall consult with Buyer prior to
the settlement of any such Tax contest and Seller shall not settle any such Tax contest if the settlement would have an adverse tax effect in a taxable period ending after the Closing Date without the consent of Buyer, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided however, that Seller shall not settle any Tax contest without the 

  

 46 

 
consent of Buyer relating to a determination that the initial Tax Basis of the assets of the Company should not be increased by the amount of the
nonqualified decommissioning liability. 
  
 (h)
Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to all refunds of Taxes with respect to the Company Group (other than the Company) relating to taxable periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date except to the extent included in the
Working Capital adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2 or attributable to an increase in the initial Tax Basis of the assets of the Company as a result of a redetermination of the initial purchase price of such assets attributable to the nonqualified
decommissioning liability. Buyer shall, upon receipt of any refund by Buyer or the Company Group (other than the Company), pay over to the Seller any such refund or the amount of any such benefit within five (5) Business Days of the earlier of
receipt or entitlement thereto. Buyer shall, if Seller so requests and at Seller’s expense, cause the relevant entity to file for and obtain any refunds or equivalent amounts to which Seller is entitled under this Section 5.10(h). Buyer shall
permit Seller to control (at Seller’s expense) the prosecution of any such refund claimed and shall cause the relevant entity to authorize by appropriate power of attorney such persons as the Seller shall designate to represent such entity with
respect to such refund claimed. 
  
 SECTION 5.11
Intercompany Loans. Schedule 5.11 identifies all loans between BEUSH and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company) and British Energy or its affiliates (other than BEUSH and its Subsidiaries) as of the date of this Agreement
(the “Intercompany Loans”). On or prior to the Closing Date, (i) Buyer shall loan, or caused to be loaned to British Energy LP an amount sufficient to repay in full to British Energy or its affiliates, and (ii) British Energy LP shall
repay, or cause to be repaid, in full to British Energy or its affiliates, the net amount of all Intercompany Loans (including any unpaid, accrued interest and other fees as of the Closing Date) to BEUSH and its Subsidiaries as identified on
Schedule 5.11; provided that, in determining the net amount of Intercompany Loans to be repaid under this Section 5.11, Buyer may discharge its obligation to loan or caused to be loaned an amount sufficient to repay or cause repayment of any
Intercompany Loan to British Energy and its affiliates (other than BEUSH and its Subsidiaries) through netting the amount of any Intercompany Loans due from British Energy and its affiliates (other than BEUSH and its Subsidiaries). British Energy
shall deliver or make available to Buyer proof of repayment in full of Intercompany Loans at the Closing. 
  
 SECTION 5.12 Corporate Names. 
  
 (a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days from the Closing Date, Buyer
shall cause BEUSH and each of its Subsidiaries to remove or cover the name “British Energy” and any trademarks, trade names brandmarks, brand names, trade dress or logos relating to such name from all signs, telephone listings, labels,
stationery, office forms, packaging or other materials of BEUSH or its Subsidiaries. Thereafter, the Buyer shall neither use nor permit any of BEUSH or its Subsidiaries to use such names or any trademark, trade name, brandmark, brand name, trade
dress or logo relating or confusingly similar to such names in connection with the businesses of BEUSH or its Subsidiaries or otherwise. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days thereafter,
the Buyer shall cause each of BEUSH and its Subsidiaries to amend its certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, LLC Agreement, limited liability company agreement and other applicable documents, subject to any required 

  

 47 

 
consent or approval of any other partner or member, which Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain, so as to delete any reference to “British
Energy” in its legal name and, within such ninety (90) day period, to make all required filings with Governmental Authorities to effect such amendments. 
  

(b) Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 5.12
would be inadequate, and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief may be granted without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of
legal remedy in any proceeding which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 5.12. 
  
 SECTION 5.13 ISRA Clearance. Seller shall obtain at its sole expense (and deliver a copy to Buyer), pursuant to
the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq. and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“ISRA”), one of the following as required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) a letter of
non-applicability of ISRA from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”); (ii) a no further action letter under ISRA; (iii) a remediation agreement pursuant to ISRA reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller, under
which the Buyer will perform or cause to be performed such remediation, subject to any indemnification from Seller available hereunder with respect to environmental matters and in connection with which Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided all
necessary financial assurance required by NJDEP (except to the extent NJDEP affirmatively requires that Seller (x) be so designated as the party responsible for performance of such remediation and/or (y) provide such financial assurance); (iv)
approval of an application for one of the following exemptions from ISRA: (A) a “de minimis quantity” exemption, (B) an underground storage tank exemption, (C) a minimal environmental concern exemption, (D) a “remediation in progress
waiver”; or (v) any other approval or authorization of the NJDEP reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller. 
  
 SECTION 5.14 Reimbursement of Nonqualified Decommissioning Funds. The NQDF Tax Reimbursement Share of any payments made to the
Company for NQDF Tax Reimbursement shall be for the account of Seller, provided that (i) on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall be permitted to distribute to itself any or all of the NQDF Tax Reimbursement Share distributed to British Energy
LP (provided that Exelon shall have received an equal distribution to the amount distributed to British Energy LP), and (ii) with respect to any NQDF Tax Reimbursement Share not distributed to Seller in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section
5.14 or received after the Closing Date, and to the extent not included as an asset in either the Company’s Working Capital Adjustment Statement or BEUSH’s Working Capital Adjustment Statement, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to
such NQDF Tax Reimbursement Share in immediately available funds, within sixty (60) days of receipt of such payments by the Company. 
  
 SECTION 5.15 Documents Relating to Liability for Payment of One-Time Fee for Spent Fuel Disposal. Prior to Closing, Seller
shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain all documents from the files of the Company Group and their counsel that relate to the retained liability of the previous owners of TMI-1 and Oyster Creek for the payment to DOE of the deferred

 48 

 
DOE Standard Spent Fuel Contracts for those Facilities, including, but not limited to, the relevant documents from the Company’s and its counsel’s
files from the negotiations leading to the purchase and sale agreements for the acquisition of TMI-1 and Oyster Creek and any correspondence with DOE relating to the payment of the deferred one-time fee for TMI-1 and Oyster Creek. Seller shall
promptly provide Buyer with a copy of any documents obtained pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, provided that Seller shall not be required to provide Buyer with documents or portions of documents containing: (i) any information that the
Company or the Company’s counsel reasonably believes constitutes or could reasonably be deemed to constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege as to the Company, or (ii) any information that Seller or the Company is under a legal
obligation not to disclose to third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that documents are withheld from Buyer as a result of asserting (x) attorney-client privilege or (y) nondisclosure contractual obligations, Seller shall
provide Buyer with a list of such documents citing the basis upon which each document is withheld (except to the extent such disclosure itself would violate such privilege or obligations) and, if the basis for withholding is attorney-client
privilege, the name of the party asserting the privilege; provided that, the assertion of the privilege by the Company of a third party, including Exelon or its affiliates, shall in no event be deemed to constitute a breach by Seller of its
obligations under this Section 5.15. In addition, Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek waiver of any attorney-client privilege and to protect against, or cause to be protected against, such documents from being destroyed or lost
during the Interim Period.

anyone acting on behalf of any of them, shall, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any non-public information to, any person or entity (other than Buyer and its representatives)
concerning any sale of BEUSH Shares or similar transaction involving the Company or the Assets (collectively “Prohibited Transactions”) unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Article 8 hereof; provided that,
Seller may provide FPL with a copy of this Agreement, the Waiver Letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement, from Buyer to Seller relating to the Agreement, and the notice from Buyer referred to in the Recitals, subject to the requirements of
the Confidentiality Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 5.17

consolidated balance sheet as of the end of such calendar month and income and cash-flow statements for the one-month period then ending. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.17, such financial statements shall (a) be in accordance with the books and
records of the Company Group, (b) be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby (except for the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments), and (c) present fairly and accurately in

31, 2002. 
  
 SECTION 5.18
Transmission. During the Interim Period, Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Company to obtain and/or maintain any and all necessary transmission rights and services required in order
to deliver the energy and capacity output of the Facilities to the purchasers of such output. 
  
 SECTION 5.19 Risk of Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.19 and Article 7, during the Interim Period all risk of loss or damage to the property included in
the Assets shall be borne by the Seller. If during the Interim Period the Assets are damaged by fire or other casualty (each such event, an “Event of Loss”) or are taken by a Governmental Authority by exercise of the power of eminent
domain (each, a “Taking”), the following provisions shall apply: 
  
 (a) Upon the occurrence of (i) any one or more Events of Loss, as a result of which the aggregate costs to restore, repair or replace, less any insurance proceeds received or payable to the Company in connection with
such Event or Events of Loss (provided that any insurance proceeds received or payable in connection with the Event or Events of Loss are either used to restore, repair or replace such Event or Events of Loss) are reasonably estimated to be equal to
or less than $ 10,000,000, and/or (ii) any one or more Takings, as a result of which the aggregate condemnation proceeds equal an amount reasonably estimated to be equal to or less than $ 10,000,000, shall have no effect on the transactions
contemplated hereby; provided that any condemnation proceeds received or payable in connection with the Taking or Takings shall be excluded from the calculation of Company Working Capital at Closing; 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence of (i) any one or more Events of
Loss, as a result of which the aggregate costs to restore, repair or replace, less any insurance proceeds received or payable to the Company in connection with such Event or Events of Loss (provided that any insurance proceeds received or payable in
connection with the Event or Events of Loss are used to restore, repair or replace such Event or Events of Loss) are reasonably estimated to be greater than $ 10,000,000, and/or (ii) any one or more Takings, as a result of which the aggregate
condemnation proceeds are reasonably estimated to be greater than $10,000,000 (a “Major Loss”), Seller shall have, in the case of a Major Loss relating to one or more Events of Loss, the option, exercised by notice to the Buyer, to cause
the Company to restore, repair or replace the affected Assets. If the Seller elects not to cause the Company to restore, repair or replace the Assets affected by a Major Loss, or such Major Loss is the result of one or more Takings, the provisions
of Section 5.19(c) will apply; 
  
 (c) In the
event that the Seller elects not to cause the Company to restore, repair or replace a Major Loss, or in the event that the Seller, having elected to cause the Company to repair, replace or restore the Major Loss, fails to cause the Company to
complete such repair, replacement or restoration prior to the Closing Date, or in the event that a Major Loss is the result of one or more Takings, then the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days following the Seller’s election not to cause the
Company to restore, repair or replace, failure to complete, or the occurrence of such Takings, as the case maybe, negotiate in good faith an equitable adjustment in the Purchase Price to reflect the impact of the Major Loss, as mitigated by any
repair, replacement or restoration work actually completed by the Company, on the Assets, and 

  

 50 

 
proceed to the Closing at a Purchase Price so adjusted. To assist the Buyer in its evaluation of any and all Events of Loss, the Seller shall provide the
Buyer such access to the Assets and such information as the Buyer may reasonably request in connection therewith; and 
  
 (d) In the event that the Parties fail to reach agreement on an equitable adjustment of the Purchase Price within the thirty (30) days
provided in Section 5.19(c), then the Buyer shall have the right to elect, exercisable by notice to the Seller within fifteen (15) days immediately following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period, to (i) proceed with the consummation of the
transaction at the Closing, with a reduction in the Purchase Price, consistent with the Seller’s last offer of equitable adjustment thereto as contemplated by the penultimate sentence of Section 5.19(c) communicated to the Buyer, in which event
the Seller shall assign over or deliver to the Buyer at the Closing all condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds that the Seller receives, or to which the Seller become entitled by virtue of the Event of Loss or Taking with respect to the Assets,
less any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller in connection with such Events of Loss or Taking or in obtaining such condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds, and less the reduction in the Purchase Price made pursuant to this
clause (i), or (ii) submit the matter to dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.16 to determine the adjustment, if any, in the Purchase Price, which determination shall be binding on all Parties. If the Buyer fails to make the election within the
fifteen (15) day period described in the preceding sentence, the Buyer will be deemed to have made the election to proceed with the Closing under clause (i) hereof.

pursuant to Section 5.19(b) or any Taking or Event of Loss which has been the subject of a purchase price reduction pursuant to Section 5.19(c) or 5.19(d) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether Seller has breached any
representation or warranty hereunder, including for purposes of Section 6.2(a) and Section 7.1 (i).

 Indemnification 
  
 SECTION 7.1 Indemnification by Seller.
From and after the Closing, subject to the other terms and limitations set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall, indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including the Company Group) and their respective directors,
officers, partners and employees (each such Person, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party (i) for any
breach of the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 or in any certificate delivered by Seller at the Closing with respect to such representations and warranties, (ii) for any breach of the covenants or obligations of Seller under
this Agreement, (iii) for any Seller Ownership Period Environmental Liability, or (iv) for any Pre-Closing ERISA Liability. 
  
 SECTION 7.2 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, subject to the other terms and limitations set forth
in this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, partners and employees (each such Person, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the
“Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party (i) for any breach of Buyer’s representations or warranties made in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by
Buyer at the Closing with respect to such representations and warranties, or (ii) for any breach of the covenants or obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. 
  

SECTION 7.3 Limitations on Indemnity. 
  
 (a) Except for the specific indemnity provided in Section 7.7 of this Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event shall Seller ever be 

  

 54 

 
required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1 or any of the other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 5.10
(or to pay any other amount in connection with or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (i) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses shall have exceeded $5 million (the “Deductible”),
whereupon only Losses in excess of the Deductible shall be subject to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that any individual Loss of less than $100,000 that is otherwise subject to indemnification hereunder shall be disregarded in
determining whether any Buyer Indemnified Party has incurred Losses up to or exceeding the Deductible, or (ii) in an amount exceeding, in the aggregate, 75% of the Adjusted Purchase Price. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, Seller and Buyer agree that the recovery by any Indemnified Party of any damages suffered or incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result of any breach by another Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement shall be
limited to the actual damages suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of the breach by the breaching Party of its obligations hereunder, and in no event shall the breaching Party be liable to an Indemnified Party for any indirect,
consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages (including any damages on account of lost profits or opportunities or lost or delayed generation) suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of the breach by the breaching Party of
any of its obligations hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 7.4
Indemnity Procedures. 
  
 (a) If a
claim by a third party is made against a Seller Indemnified Party or a Buyer Indemnified Party (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) or an Indemnified Party shall otherwise learn of an assertion or of a potential claim, and if such
indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article 7 (other than with respect to an indemnity arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.23, which shall be
governed by Section 5.10(g)), such Indemnified Party shall promptly furnish written notice of such claim (in reasonable detail and including the factual basis for such claim and, to the extent known, the amount thereof) to the Party against whom
indemnity is sought (such Party, in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all material
notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to such claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to deliver prompt written notice of a claim shall not affect the indemnity obligations of
the Indemnifying Party hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party was actually disadvantaged by such delay in delivery of notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to provide
written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging unconditionally its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim (an “Acceptance Notice”) and if it delivers an Acceptance Notice, to elect to undertake,
conduct and control (through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense), the settlement or defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the
conduct and control of such settlement and defense, it shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Party elects to
undertake, conduct and control the settlement or defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party). So long as the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and 

  

 55 

 
expense, (i) has undertaken the defense of, and assumed full responsibility for all indemnified liabilities with respect to, such claim, (ii) is reasonably
contesting such claim in good faith through appropriate proceedings, and (iii) has taken such action (including the posting of a bond, deposit or other security) as may be necessary to prevent any action to foreclose a lien against or attachment of
the property of the Indemnified Party for payment of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim; provided, however, that, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim if it has
waived in writing any right to indemnity by the Indemnifying Party for such claim; and, provided, further, that, if within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity under this Section
7.4(a), the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that it elects (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense) to undertake the defense thereof and assume full responsibility for all indemnified liabilities with respect
thereto, or gives such notice and thereafter fails to contest such claim in good faith or to prevent action to foreclose a lien against or attachment of the Indemnified Party’s property as contemplated above, the indemnified Party shall have
the right to contest, settle or compromise such claim and the Indemnified Party shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity for such claim under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Any claim on account of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement which does not
involve a claim of a third party will be asserted by prompt written notice (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts or circumstances that allegedly give rise to such claim and, to the extent known, the amount thereof) given by the Indemnified
Party to the Indemnifying Party from whom such indemnification is sought. The failure or delay by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such
Indemnified Party under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually disadvantaged by such delay in delivery of notice of such claim. 
  
 (c) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any
claim (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim
relating to such Indemnified Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Indemnified Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense
of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim. 
  
 SECTION 7.5 Procedural Requirements for Environmental Claims by Buyer. The provisions of this Section 7.5 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, the procedures set forth in Section
7.4 (which shall be deemed superseded to the extent inconsistent with this Section 7.5). Buyer will provide Seller with prompt notice describing in reasonable detail any condition or claim in respect of which Losses arising out of a breach of the
representations and warranties in Section 3.20 or any Seller Ownership Period Environmental Liability are or may be incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if such notice is not given within a sufficient period of
time or in sufficient detail to apprise Seller of the nature of any such condition or claim (in each instance taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect thereto), the costs and expenses incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party in
connection with such condition or claim shall not constitute Losses to the extent that Seller’s position is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Seller will have the option to participate, at their own expense, in 

  

 56 

 
the resolution of any such conditions or claims (and, in any event, Buyer will consult in good faith with Seller in respect of the resolution of any such
conditions or claims). Buyer will keep Seller apprised of the status of and any action by or on behalf of Buyer or any member of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates with respect to all such conditions or claims. If Seller is not given,
within a sufficient period of time or in sufficient detail, information necessary to reasonably apprise Seller of the status of and any action by or on behalf of Buyer, any member of the Company Group or their respective Affiliates with respect to
any such conditions or claims (in each instance taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect thereto), the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer or any member of the Company Group in connection with such condition or claim shall not
constitute Losses to the extent that Seller’s position is actually prejudiced as a result thereof. 
  
 SECTION 7.6 Survival and Time Limitation. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the
transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after Closing, any claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party that Seller is liable to such Buyer Indemnified Party under the terms of this Agreement for breach of any representations and
warranties of Seller must be given to Seller on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, except for (i) any claims for breach of the representations and warranties of Seller in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12,
3.16, 3.17 and 3.23, and any claims made by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.10, which must be given to Seller (or not at all) on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations with respect to
the matters covered thereby, (ii) any claim for breach of the representations and warranties of Seller in Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.36, which shall survive indefinitely, (iii) except as described in clause (iv) of this Section 7.6, any claim for
breach of the representations and warranties of Seller in Section 3.20, which must be given to Seller on or prior to the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, (iv) any claim for breach of Section 3.20 relating to the matters
described in Section 7.7 hereof, which shall survive until the later of the complete and conclusive resolution of any such matters with any applicable Governmental Authority or the payment in full of any amounts owed to each Buyer Indemnified Party
under Section 7.7, and (v) any claim for breach of Section 3.37, which shall survive for the initial license term of each respective Facility. Notwithstanding the initial sentence of this Section 7.6, after Closing, any claim by any Seller
Indemnified Party that Buyer is liable to such Seller Indemnified Party for a breach of any representations and warranties of Buyer must be given to Buyer on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. All covenants and
other agreements of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed after the Closing shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations with respect to the matters covered thereby.

  
 SECTION 7.7 Specific Indemnity by
Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by any Buyer Indemnified
Party that were incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of the “Fish Kill” described in Schedule 3.20 hereof (including without limitation any and all Losses actually incurred in connection with the allegations set forth in
Schwartz v. AmerGen Energy Company, Exelon Generation Company, British Energy Company et al.; Superior Court of New Jersey, Docket L-2075-03 as filed on July 25, 2003, and any subsequent amendments to the allegations 

  

 57 

 
related to the “Fish Kill”, as described in Schedule 3.20 hereof). In connection with making an Indemnified Claim, the Parties shall follow the
Indemnification Procedures described in Sections 7.4 and 7.5 above. 
  
 SECTION 7.8 Further Indemnity Limitations. The amount of any indemnifiable Loss shall be reduced (i) to the extent any Indemnified Party actually receives any insurance proceeds with respect to such
Loss, (ii) to take into account any net Tax benefit arising from the recognition of the Loss, (iii) to take into account any payment actually received by an Indemnified Party from a third party with respect to such Loss, and (iv) to the extent of
any Loss that is attributable to a determination that the initial Tax Basis of the assets of the Company should not be increased by the amount of the nonqualified decommissioning liability. 
  
 SECTION 7.9 Sole and Exclusive Remedy.
From and after the Closing, except as provided in Section 5.10 of this Agreement for any claim in respect of Taxes, the indemnification provisions of this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy of each Party
(including the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Parties) (i) for any breach of any Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or (ii) otherwise with respect to this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action it or any of its Affiliates may have against
another Party hereunder with respect thereto. 
  
 ARTICLE 8

  
 Termination 
  
 SECTION 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be
terminated at any time prior to the Closing: 
  
 (a) by mutual written agreement of British Energy and Buyer; 
  
 (b) by British Energy or Buyer if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before the day that is six (6) months after the date hereof, unless the reason that the Closing has not occurred shall be the failure
of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to fulfill its obligations hereunder; provided, however, (i) that if the reason the Closing has not occurred is because Buyer Regulatory Approvals or British Energy Regulatory Approvals have not been
obtained and Commercially Reasonable Efforts are being undertaken to obtain such regulatory approvals by the Party responsible for obtaining such regulatory approvals, the reference to “the day that is six (6) months after the date hereof in
this Section 8.1(b) shall be extended for an additional six (6) months and neither British Energy nor Buyer may terminate this Agreement during such extended period so long as such Commercially Reasonable Efforts continue, or (ii) that if the reason
the Closing has not occurred is because FPL Energy Nuclear Mid-Atlantic, LLC or its Affiliates (collectively “FPL”) is attempting to prevent the transfer of the Seller’s indirect interest in the Company and Seller has timely commenced
arbitration proceedings or other legal action with FPL regarding FPL’s action or inaction with respect to such transfer, the reference to “the day that is six (6) months after the date hereof in this Section 8.1(b) shall be extended for an
additional six (6) months and neither British Energy nor Buyer may terminate this Agreement during such extended period; 
  

 58 

 (c) by British Energy or Buyer if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body having competent jurisdiction; 
  
 (d) by Buyer if any Buyer Regulatory Approvals shall have been denied (and a petition for rehearing, a petition for review or refiling of
an application initially denied without prejudice shall also have been denied) or shall have been granted subject to terms and conditions that would likely have a Material Adverse Effect, and all appeals of any such actions shall have been taken and
been unsuccessful; 
  
 (e) by British Energy if
any British Energy Regulatory Approvals shall have been denied (and a petition for rehearing, a petition for review or refiling of an application initially denied without prejudice shall also have been denied) or shall have been granted subject to
terms and conditions that would likely have a Material Adverse Effect, and all appeals of any such actions shall have been taken and been unsuccessful; 
  
 (f) by Buyer if there has been a material violation or breach by British Energy of any covenant representation or warranty contained in
this Agreement and such violation or breach is not cured by the earlier of the Closing Date or the date thirty (30) days after receipt by British Energy of written notice specifying particularly such violation or breach, and such violation or breach
has not been waived by Buyer; 
  
 (g) by British
Energy if there has been a material violation or breach by Buyer of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and such violation or breach is not cured by the earlier of the Closing Date or the date thirty (30) days after
receipt by Buyer of written notice specifying particularly such violation or breach, and such violation or breach has not been waived by British Energy; 
  
 The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement shall give notice of such termination to the other Party in the manner set forth in Section 8.2.

  
 SECTION 8.2 Effect of
Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Seller or Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall promptly be given by the terminating Party to the other Parties, and this Agreement shall thereupon
terminate provided, however, the termination of this Agreement shall not release any party from liability for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein prior to the date of termination. Following any such
termination, Buyer and Seller will continue to be bound by the obligations set forth in Sections 5.8 and 5.9 and Article 7. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, all filings, applications and other submissions made to any Governmental
Authority shall, to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the Governmental Authority to which they were made. 
  
 SECTION 8.3 Remedies. 
  
 (a) Seller’s Remedies. (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the failure by Buyer to fulfill any
undertaking or commitment provided for herein on the 

  

 59 

 
part of Buyer that is required to be fulfilled on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller, at its sole option, may enforce specific performance of this
Agreement or pursue any rights or remedies available at law or in equity. 
  
 (b) Seller’s Remedy for Termination Pursuant to Section 8.1(b), 8.1(c), 8.1(d) or 8.1(e). In the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any of Section 8.1(b) through 8.1(e), (ii) such
termination resulted from a failure to obtain applicable regulatory approvals, and (iii) such failure is attributable to the announcement or consummation after the date hereof of any transaction pursuant to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates would
acquire any electric generation facilities or uncommitted electric generating capacity, Buyer shall pay to Seller, no later than five (5) days after any such termination, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in
writing by Seller, an amount equal to $8,295,000. 
  
 (c) Buyer’s Remedies. Except as set forth in Section 8.3(d) hereof, notwithstanding anything herein provided to the contrary, upon failure of Seller to fulfill any undertaking or commitment provided for herein on the part of
Seller that is required to be fulfilled on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer, at its sole option, may enforce specific performance of this Agreement or pursue any rights or remedies available at law or in equity. 
  
 (d) Buyer’s Remedy for Termination Pursuant to
Section 8.1(b). In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 8.1(b) and the Closing shall not have been consummated as a result of FPL’s material interference with the transactions contemplated
hereby, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such termination shall be a termination payment in the amount of $8,295,000 (the “Break Up Fee”), payable by Seller to Buyer by wire transfer no later than five (5) days after the
consummation of any sale of the BEUSH Shares which directly or indirectly transfers the Company Group’s ownership interest in the Company to FPL or an Affiliate thereof; provided that, in the event that, following such a termination of
this Agreement, Seller has not consummated such a sale of its direct or indirect ownership interests in the Company within one (1) year of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall make a payment to Buyer, within three (3) Business Days after the
first anniversary of the date hereof, in the amount of $1,000,000, such amount to be deducted from any payment of the Break Up Fee upon consummation of such a sale within three (3) years from the date of this Agreement. In the event such a sale of
Seller’s direct or indirect ownership interests in the Company is not consummated within three (3) years from the date of this Agreement, Seller shall have no further liability to Buyer for termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b). The Parties
agree that Buyer’s actual damages as a result of such termination would be extremely difficult to calculate, and that such payment constitutes liquidated damages for the consequences of such termination and is not a penalty. 
  
 (e) Election of Remedies. (i) Except as set forth in
Section 8.3(d) hereof, if any Party elects to pursue singularly any right or remedy available to it under this Section 8.3, then such Party may at any time thereafter cease pursuing that right or remedy and elect to pursue any other right or remedy
available to it under this Section 8.3. All rights and remedies hereunder (except those set forth in Section 8.3(d)) shall be cumulative. Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, no delay or forbearance by a Party in the exercise or
enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder shall be deemed a waiver by such party of its right hereunder to exercise or enforce such right or remedy.

waived prior to the Closing Date if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyer and British Energy or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

  
 (b) No failure or delay by either Party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 
  
 SECTION 9.3 Expenses. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, including fees and expenses of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense (or in the case of any fees or expenses incurred by any

 SECTION 9.4 Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of the Parties shall not be assigned or delegated by either Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, without the written
consent of Buyer (in the case of an assignment or delegation by Seller) or Seller (in the case of an assignment or delegation by Buyer), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No assignment of this Agreement will relieve the
assigning Party of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the two preceding sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
  
 SECTION 9.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be

 SECTION 9.6 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and
hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto. Facsimile transmission of any signed original document and/or
retransmission of any signed facsimile transmission will be deemed the same as delivery of an original. At the request of any Party, the Parties will confirm facsimile transmission by signing a duplicate original document. 
  
 SECTION 9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and, to the
extent applicable, the LLC Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written

upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

assigns. 
  
 SECTION 9.10 Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon
such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be

appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court of the State of New York or, to the extent permitted by

 (b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court of the State of New 

  

 63 

 
York sitting in New York County or any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of New York. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
  
 SECTION 9.13 Waiver of Punitive and Other Damages and Jury Trial.
