Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Preferred Investors Plan Support Agreements

On March 5, 2014, USEC Inc. (“USEC” or the “Company”) announced that it has entered into a plan support agreement (the “Preferred Investors Plan Support Agreements”) with each of Babcock & Wilcox Investment Company (“B&W”) and Toshiba Corporation and Toshiba America Nuclear Energy Company (“Toshiba,” and together with B&W, the “Preferred Investors”) as holders of the Company’s Series B-1 12.75% convertible preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) regarding a voluntary Chapter 11 pre-arranged plan of reorganization of the Company. As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2013, the Company previously reached an agreement (the “Consenting Noteholders Plan Support Agreement” and, together with the Preferred Investors Plan Support Agreements, the “Plan Support Agreements”) with the holders (the “Consenting Holders”) of approximately 65% of its outstanding 3.0% convertible senior notes due October 1, 2014 (the “Convertible Notes”) with respect to a plan of reorganization of the Company. The Consenting Noteholder Plan Support Agreement was amended as described below to conform substantially with the terms of the Preferred Investors Plan Support Agreements.

Pursuant to the Preferred Investors Plan Support Agreements, and subject to certain conditions contained therein and generally described below, each of the Preferred Investors has agreed, among other things, to vote in favor of and to generally support confirmation of the plan of reorganization of the Company by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheet attached to the Preferred Investors Plan Support Agreements and the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to support and complete the transactions contemplated by such term sheet, including seeking confirmation of the plan consistent therewith. The Preferred Investors Plan Support Agreements are subject to certain termination events, including:

By USEC or the Preferred Investors upon a good faith determination of the Board of Directors of USEC that proceeding with the Plan would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties;
    
By the Preferred Investors if USEC fails to commence the solicitation within 50 days of the commencement of the Chapter 11 case;
    
By the Preferred Investors if USEC experiences any circumstance, change or other event that has had or is reasonably likely to have a short-term or long-term material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of USEC and its subsidiaries;
    
By USEC or the Preferred Investors if (1) DOE terminates or suspends (or announces its intent to terminate or suspend) its 80% cost share funding of the RD&D program; (2) there is a termination or suspension or material delay in completion of the RD&D program (other than, in the case of USEC’s right to terminate, as a result of action or inaction by USEC); and
    
By USEC or the Preferred Investors if the Russian transitional supply agreement between Enrichment and Joint Stock Company Techsnabexport is terminated.

As agreed to in the Plan Support Agreements, the material terms of the plan of reorganization of the Company (the “Plan”) include, among other things, that upon the effective date of the Plan:
The holders of the Convertible Notes will receive, on a pro rata basis, in exchange for claims on account of their $530 million in outstanding principal amount of Convertible Notes;
79.04% of the common stock of reorganized USEC (“New Common Stock”), subject to dilution on account of a new management incentive plan; and
    





$200 million in principal amount of new notes issued by reorganized USEC on terms described in the Term Sheet (the “New Notes”), with the New Notes being guaranteed and secured on a subordinated and limited basis by United States Enrichment Corporation, USEC’s primary operating subsidiary (“Enrichment”).
The Preferred Investors will each receive in exchange and on account of their shares of the Company’s Series B-1 12.75% convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and warrants dated September 2, 2010 to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”):
    
7.98% of the New Common Stock (15.96% in the aggregate), subject to dilution on account of a new management incentive plan; and
$20.19 million in principal amount of New Notes ($40.38 million in the aggregate).
    
The Preferred Investors each agree to discuss in good faith with USEC the possible investment of up to $20.19 million (for an aggregate investment of $40.38 million) of equity in a special purpose entity to commercialize the American Centrifuge project in the future, subject to mutually agreed upon terms and conditions, but in any event contingent upon the funding for the American Centrifuge Plant of not less than $1.5 billion of debt supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) loan guarantee program or other government support or funding in such amount (the “ACP Funding Condition”).

In connection with the Company’s compliance with regulatory requirements, the New Common Stock issued to the Preferred Investors would be structured in a similar manner to the Class B Common Stock contemplated to be issuable to the Preferred Investors upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. As contemplated, Class B Common Stock and the New Common Stock will have the same rights, powers, preferences and restrictions and rank equally in all matters, except when voting on certain matters. Holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to elect two members of the Board of Directors of the Company, consistent with their current arrangements.
The holders of the Company’s common stock will receive, on a pro rata basis, 5% of the New Common Stock, subject to dilution on account of a new management incentive plan.
    
All secured claims will be reinstated and otherwise not impaired and all liens shall be continued until the claims are paid in full.
    
All general unsecured claims of the Company will be unimpaired and will be either reinstated or paid in full in the ordinary course of business upon the later of the Effective Time or when such obligation becomes due according to its terms.

A copy of USEC’s press release announcing, among other things, such agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the Preferred Investors Plan Support Agreements, including the Term Sheet attached thereto, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preferred Investors Support Agreements and related exhibits attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Consenting Noteholders Plan Support Agreement

On February 28, 2014, the Company and the Consenting Holders holding greater than a majority of the outstanding Convertible Notes (the “Amending Consenting Holders”) amended the Consenting Noteholders Plan Support Agreement as described herein. These amendments, among other things, extended to March 4, 2014 the date by which the material conditions for the filing of a petition for bankruptcy must be satisfied or waived. In addition, the amendments deleted the termination event set forth set forth in Section 6(b)(v) related to failure to extend the RD&D Program through September 30, 2014 in recognition of the incremental funding provided by





DOE and replace it with a right to terminate in the event one or both of the Preferred Investors terminates their Plan Support Agreement. Termination, suspension or failure to obtain DOE funding for the RD&D Program or a successor to such program remains an event of termination. In addition, the Company, the Amending Consenting Holders and Preferred Investors have agreed that the material conditions for filing a petition for Bankruptcy as contemplated in the Plan Support Agreements have been satisfied or waived. The Consenting Noteholders Plan Support Agreement, as amended, is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 3.03 below is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

In connection with and in furtherance of the Plan as contemplated in the Plan Support Agreements, on March 5, 2014 (the “Petition Date”), the Company filed a voluntary petition seeking reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court” and such case, the “Bankruptcy Case”). The Bankruptcy Case is being administered under the caption “In re USEC Inc., Debtor” Case No. 14-10475. The Company’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Filing Entities”), including Enrichment which is USEC’s primary operating subsidiary, are not debtors in the Bankruptcy Filing. The Company will continue to operate its business as “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Non-Filing Entities will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business.

The Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Petition Date the Plan, along with a related proposed draft disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”). The Company intends to move forward a quickly as possible to obtain approval of the Disclosure Statement, to solicit votes on the Plan from the holders of Convertible Notes and the Preferred Investors and to present the Plan for approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

On March 5, 2014, the Company also issued a press release announcing, among other things, that it had filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. A copy of USEC’s press release announcing such agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Additional information on the Bankruptcy Filing and case, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court and general information about the Bankruptcy Filing and case is available at http://www.deb.uscourts.gov the website of the Bankruptcy Court and at www.loganandco.com, the website for the Company’s claims and noticing agent, under client name “USEC Inc.” The information contained on the foregoing websites is not incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Company urges that caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in its securities as the Plan, if approved, by the Bankruptcy Court and implemented in accordance with its terms, will substantially change the Company’s capital structure.

Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The Bankruptcy Filing described in Item 1.03 above constituted an event of default with respect to the Company’s $530 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The indenture pursuant to which the Convertible Notes were issued provides that as a result of the Bankruptcy Filing the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. The Consenting Holders have also agreed to support the Plan and to take no action contrary to its confirmation. Further, any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the





indenture and the Convertible Notes are stayed as a result of the Bankruptcy Filing and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Documents are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On March 4, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, and the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan dated as of September 29, 2011 (the “Tax Benefit Plan”), between the Company and Computershare Shareowner Services, LLC (f/k/a Mellon Investor Services, LLC), as Rights Agent. The purpose of the Amendment is to terminate the Tax Benefit Plan, by shortening the expiration of the Tax Benefit Plan from September 29, 2014 to March 4, 2014. Accordingly, the rights (the “Rights”), which were previously dividended to holders of record of Common Stock of the Company as of the close of business on October 10, 2011, expired upon the expiration of the Tax Benefit Plan and no person has any rights pursuant to the Tax Benefit Plan or the Rights.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Tax Benefit Plan and a summary of its material terms were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on September 30, 2011 are incorporated herein by reference by Exhibit 4.2 hereto.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Under the securities purchase agreement dated as of May 25, 2010 by and among the Company and the Preferred Investors and related transaction documents, the Preferred Investors as the holders of the Preferred Stock, have the right to elect a total of two directors of USEC.

Effective March 4, 2014, George Dudich, president of Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group, Inc., resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Dudich has been a director of the Company since October 24, 2012. Mr. Dudich’s resignation is not because of any disagreement with the Company known to an executive officer of the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

In February 2014, USEC entered into confidentiality agreements with the Amending Consenting Holders to facilitate discussions regarding implementation of the transactions contemplated in the Consenting Noteholders Plan Support Agreement, including the filing of the Bankruptcy Case. In connection with these discussions, USEC provided the Amending Consenting Holders certain confidential information. Pursuant to the confidentiality agreements, USEC agreed to publicly disclose this confidential information upon filing a petition for bankruptcy when the confidentiality agreements expire by their terms. As a result, USEC is furnishing the information set forth in this Item 7.01 and Exhibits 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 (each of which is incorporated herein by reference) which was provided to some Amending Consenting Holders, to satisfy the Company’s public disclosure obligations under the confidentiality agreements that have expired. The documents include the Plan and the Disclosure Statement which remain subject to review, amendment and approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

The information in this item 7.01 is being furnished, not filed. Accordingly, the information in this item will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by USEC or any related entity under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference therein. By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, USEC makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in Item 7.01 of this report.

(b)    If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 365) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure shall occur following (y) the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption if such dispute is adjudicated in the Bankruptcy Court, or (z) as to amounts under the executory contract or unexpired lease, following the final resolution of such matter if the Debtor elected to handle such dispute in the procedural manner in which it would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.
(c)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing subsections of this Section 6.2, the Debtor shall be authorized to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to the extent the Debtor, in the exercise of its sound business judgment, concludes that the amount of the Cure obligation as determined by Final Order or as otherwise finally resolved, renders assumption of such contract or lease unfavorable to the Debtor’s Estate. In the event the Debtor so rejects any previously assumed contract or lease, and such rejection gives rise to a Rejection Damages Claim, such Rejection Damages Claim arising out of such rejection shall be limited to the amount of the Allowed Rejection Damage Claim.
6.3    Rejected Contracts and Leases





The Debtor, with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders, reserves the right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, to seek to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to which the Debtor is a party and to file a motion requesting authorization for the rejection of any such contract or lease. Any executory contracts or unexpired leases that expire by their terms prior to the Effective Date are deemed to be rejected, unless previously assumed or otherwise disposed of by the Debtor.
6.4    Compensation and Benefit Programs
(a)    Except to the extent (i) otherwise provided for in the Plan, (ii) previously assumed or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or before the Confirmation Date, (iii) the subject of a pending motion to reject filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) previously terminated, all Employee Programs in effect before the Effective Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed under the Plan. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to modify the existing terms of Employee Programs, including, without limitation, the Debtor’s and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights of termination and amendment thereunder.
(b)    To the extent any “change in control” provision contained in any Employee Program would be triggered and payable solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, such Employee Program shall not be assumed to the extent a waiver of the change in control provision is not executed by the employee having the benefit of such change in control provision, but otherwise shall remain in full force and effect and may be triggered as a result of any transactions occurring after the Effective Date.
(c)    As of the Effective Date, any and all equity incentive plans, equity ownership plans, or any other equity-based plans entered into before the Effective Date, including Claims arising from any change in control provision therein, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are rejected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan pursuant to the Confirmation Order, provided, however, that nothing contained herein will impact any Cash payment components of any such equity-based plans.
(d)    The Reorganized Debtor affirms and agrees that (i) it is and will continue to be the contributing sponsor of the Employees’ Retirement Plan of USEC Inc. (the “Pension Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1301-1461, et seq; (ii) the Pension Plan is subject to minimum funding requirements of ERISA and §§ 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) no provision of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or Bankruptcy Code Section 1141, shall, or shall be construed to, discharge, release, or relieve the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any other party, in any capacity, from any liability with respect to the Pension Plan under any law, governmental policy, or regulatory provision; and (iv) neither the PBGC nor the Pension Plan shall be enjoined from enforcing such liability as a result of the Plan’s provisions for satisfaction, release and discharge of Claims. The Debtor further affirms and agrees that any discharge of liability provided under this Plan shall not operate to discharge any obligations it might have under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan maintained by Enrichment Corp, one of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, as a result of the Debtor’s status as a member of the “controlled group” for such pension plan. As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall contribute to the Pension Plan the amount necessary to satisfy minimum funding standards under sections 302 and 303 of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1082 and 1083, and sections 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent that any such contributions were not made during the Chapter 11 Case.
6.5    Certain Indemnification Obligations
(a)    Indemnification Obligations owed to those of the Debtor’s directors, officers, and employees serving prior to, on, and after the Petition Date shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan, and such Indemnification Obligations (subject to any defenses thereto) shall survive the Effective Date of the Plan and remain unaffected by the Plan, irrespective of whether obligations are owed in connection with a prepetition or postpetition occurrence.
(b)    Indemnification Obligations owed to any of the Debtor’s Professionals pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327 or 328 and order of the Bankruptcy Court, whether such Indemnification Obligations relate to the period before or after the Petition Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan.
6.6    Extension of Time to Assume or Reject





Notwithstanding anything set forth in Article [VI] of the Plan, in the event of a dispute as to whether a contract is executory or a lease is unexpired, the Debtor’s right to move to assume or reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after entry of a Final Order by the Bankruptcy Court determining that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired. The deemed assumption provided for in Section [6.1(a)] of the Plan shall not apply to any such contract or lease, and any such contract or lease shall be assumed or rejected only upon motion of the Debtor following the Bankruptcy Court’s determination that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.
6.7    Claims Arising from Assumption or Rejection
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all (i) Allowed Claims arising from the assumption of any contract or lease shall be treated as Administrative Claims pursuant to Section [3.1(a)] of the Plan; and (ii) Allowed Rejection Damages Claims shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section [3.2(d)] of the Plan.
(b)    If the rejection by the Debtor, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of a contract or lease results in a Rejection Damages Claim, then such Rejection Damages Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor or the properties of either of them unless a Proof of Claim is (i) filed with the Claims Agent on or before the date that is the first Business Day that is thirty (30) days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of an order authorizing the rejection of a contract or lease and (ii) contemporaneously with such filing, served upon (a) if such filing occurs prior to the Effective Date, counsel to the Debtor and counsel to the Consenting Noteholders or (b) if such filing occurs after the Effective Date, counsel to the Reorganized Debtor. All rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to object to any Rejection Damages Claim are reserved.

ARTICLE VII
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
7.1    Determination of Allowability of Claims and Interests and Rights to Distributions
(a)    Only holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests shall be entitled to receive distributions under the Plan.
(b)    Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, inter alia, with respect to Rejection Damage Claims and Claims subject to Bankruptcy Code Section 510(b)), there shall be no requirement for holders of Claims to file Proofs of Claim or Requests for Payment or for holders of Interests to file any proofs of interest. With respect to Filed Claims or filed Proofs of Interest, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to object to the Proofs of Claim, Requests for Payment or Proofs of Interest in the Bankruptcy Court by the Claims Objection Deadline, but shall not be required to do so. In no event shall the failure to object in the Bankruptcy Court to any Filed Claim or any proof of interest result in the deemed allowance of any such Claim or Interest. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to dispute all alleged Claims (whether Filed Claims or Unfiled Claims) and alleged Interests (whether or evidenced by a filed proof of interest) in any manner that would have been available to it had the Chapter 11 Case not been filed (including, without limitation, by declining to pay any alleged Claim or to recognize any alleged Interest), or may elect in its discretion to have any alleged Claim or Interest adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court.
(c)    No distributions shall be made on Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests until and unless such Disputed Claims become Allowed Claims and such Disputed Interests become Allowed Interests. No reserve shall be required with respect to any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest.
7.2    Timing of Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests
Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as of the applicable Distribution Date shall be made on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Distribution Date, but in no event later than the first Business Day that is twenty (20) days after such date; provided, however, that distributions on account of Noteholder Claims hereunder shall be made on the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtor or the Disbursing Agent shall have the right, in its discretion, to accelerate any Distribution Date occurring after the Effective Date if the facts and circumstances so warrant.
7.3    Procedures for Making Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests





(a)    On or before the Effective Date, the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) shall designate the Person(s) (whether the Reorganized Debtor and/or one or more independent third parties) to serve as the Disbursing Agent(s) under the Plan; provided, however, that (i) the Indenture Trustee shall serve as the Disbursing Agent with respect to the Noteholder Claims and (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall transmit distributions to the Noteholders subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to assert the Indenture Trustee’s Charging Lien against such distributions. If any Disbursing Agent is an independent third party, such Disbursing Agent shall receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from the Reorganized Debtor. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Plan to the contrary, the distribution provisions contained in the Old Indenture shall continue in effect to the extent necessary to authorize the Indenture Trustee to receive and distribute to the Noteholders pursuant to this Plan on account of Allowed Noteholder Claims and shall terminate completely upon completion of all such distributions.
(b)    The Disbursing Agent(s) shall make distributions to the holders of the Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in the same manner and to the same addresses as payments are made in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s businesses; provided, however, that if a Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest references a different payment address, the address on the Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest shall be used.
(c)     If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified by the Debtor, the Claims Agent, or such holder of such holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. If any distribution is made by check and such check is not returned but remains uncashed for six (6) months after the date of such check, the Disbursing Agent may cancel and void such check, and the distribution with respect thereto shall be deemed undeliverable. If, pursuant to Section [7.7] of the Plan, any holder is requested to provide an applicable Internal Revenue Service form or to otherwise satisfy any tax withholding requirements with respect to a distribution and such holder fails to do so within six (6) months of the date of such request, such holder’s distribution shall be deemed undeliverable.
(d)    Unless otherwise agreed between the Reorganized Debtor and the applicable Disbursing Agent, amounts in respect of returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtor until such distributions are claimed. All claims for returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions must be made (i) on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) with respect to any distribution made later than such date, on or before six (6) months after the date of such later distribution; after which date all undeliverable property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor free of any restrictions thereon and the claims of any holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. In the event of a timely claim for any returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distribution, the Reorganized Debtor shall deliver the applicable distribution amount or property to the Disbursing Agent for distribution pursuant to the Plan.
7.4    Calculation of Distribution Amounts of New Securities
No fractional shares of New Securities shall be issued or distributed under the Plan. Each Person entitled to receive New Securities shall receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock or their pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes, whichever is relevant, to which such Person is entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of New Securities, the actual distribution of such New Securities shall be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions one-half (½) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half (½) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Person is entitled to New Common Stock and rounding to the next lower whole number would result in such Person receiving zero shares of New Common Stock, such Person shall receive one (1) share of New Common Stock; and (b) if the Person is entitled to a pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes and rounding to the next lower whole number would result in such Person receiving zero dollars worth of New Notes, such Person shall receive a New Note in the principal amount of one $1.00 (One Dollar). If two or more Persons are entitled to fractional entitlements and the aggregate amount of New Securities that would otherwise be issued to such Persons with respect to such fractional entitlements as a result of such rounding exceeds the number of whole New Securities which remain to be allocated, the Disbursing Agent shall allocate the remaining whole New Securities to such holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the Disbursing Agent deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole New Securities authorized under the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect. The Disbursing Agent shall have the right to carry forward to subsequent distributions any applicable credits or debits arising from the rounding described in this paragraph.





7.5    Application of Distribution Record Date
On the applicable Distribution Record Date, (a) for all Claims other than Noteholder Claims, the Debtor’s books and records for Unfiled Claims and the claims register maintained by the Claims Agent for Filed Claims, (b) for Noteholder Claims, the transfer ledgers for the Old Notes and (c) for Interests, the records of the Debtor in the case of the Preferred Stock Interests/Claims and the records of the stock transfer agent in the case of the Common Stock Interests/Claims, shall be closed for purposes of determining the record holders of Claims or Interests, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims or Interests. Except as provided herein, the Reorganized Debtor, the Disbursing Agent(s), the Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective agents, successors, and assigns shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims or Interests occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the applicable books and records, claims registers or transfer ledgers as of 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on the Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of distributions to be made under the Plan to such Persons or the date of such distributions.
7.6    Surrender of Cancelled Old Securities
As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Claim, each record Noteholder shall be deemed to have surrendered the Old Notes or other documentation underlying each Noteholder Claim, and all such surrendered Old Notes and other documentation shall be deemed to be cancelled pursuant to Section [5.4] of the Plan, except to the extent otherwise provided herein. As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Interest, each holder of an Allowed Common Stock Interest/Claim and an Allowed Preferred Stock Interest/Claim shall be deemed to have surrendered any stock certificate or other documentation underlying each such Interest/Claim, and any such stock certificates and other documentation shall be deemed to be cancelled pursuant to Section [5.4] of the Plan.
7.7    Withholding and Reporting Requirements
In connection with the Plan and all distributions hereunder, the applicable Disbursing Agent shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent(s) shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements including, without limitation, requiring that, as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, the holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest complete the appropriate IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9, as applicable to each holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest that is to receive a distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Disbursing Agent to allow it to comply with its tax withholding and reporting requirements. Any property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution to be held by the Indenture Trustee or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, until such time as the Disbursing Agent is satisfied with the holder’s arrangements for any withholding tax obligations.
7.8    Setoffs
The Reorganized Debtor may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any such claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against such holder.
7.9    Prepayment
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, any ancillary documents entered into in connection herewith, or the Confirmation Order, the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to prepay, without penalty, all or any portion of an Allowed Claim at any time; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall not be violative of, or otherwise prejudice, the relative priorities and parities among the Classes of Claims.
7.10    Allocation of Distributions





All distributions received under the Plan by holders of applicable Claims shall be deemed to be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim as determined for United States federal income tax purposes and then to accrued interest, if any, with respect to such Claim.

other rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock differ as provided herein (including, without limitation, with respect to the voting rights and conversion provisions hereof) if and to the extent necessary due to regulatory requirements or restrictions applicable to the entity surviving such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination that are similar in nature to those applicable to the Corporation; and provided, further, that if the holders of the Class A Common Stock or the holders of the Class B Common Stock are granted the right to elect to receive one of two or more alternative forms of consideration, the foregoing provision shall be deemed satisfied if holders of the other class are granted identical election rights, subject to the preceding proviso.

Except where the context provides otherwise, as used in this Certificate of Incorporation, “redemption” and “exchange” are hereinafter collectively referred to as “redemption”, references to shares being “redeemed” shall be deemed to include shares which are being “exchanged”, and references to “redemption price” shall be deemed to include the amount and kind of securities for which any such shares are exchanged. The terms and conditions of such redemption shall be as follows:
(a) the redemption price of the shares to be redeemed pursuant to this Article NINTH shall be equal to the fair market value of the shares to be redeemed, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith unless the Board of Directors determine in good faith that the holder of such shares knew or should have known its ownership or beneficial ownership would constitute a Foreign Ownership Review Event, in which case the redemption price for any such shares, other than shares for which the Board of Directors had determined at the time of the holder’s purchase that the ownership of, or exercise of rights with respect to, such shares did not, at such time, constitute an Adverse Regulatory Occurrence, shall be equal to the lower of (i) the fair market value of the shares to be redeemed and (ii) such foreign person’s or Contravening Person’s purchase price for such shares;
(b) the redemption price of such shares may be paid in cash, securities or any combination thereof and the value of any securities constituting all or any part of the redemption price shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith;
(c) if less than all the shares held or beneficially owned by foreign persons are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected in any manner determined by the Board of Directors to be fair and equitable;
(d) at least 30 days’ written notice of the redemption date shall be given to the record holders of the shares selected to be redeemed (unless waived in writing by any such holder), provided that the redemption date may be the date on which written notice shall be given to record holders if the cash or redemption securities necessary to effect the redemption shall have been deposited in trust for the benefit of such record holders and subject to immediate withdrawal by them upon surrender of the stock certificates for their shares to be redeemed, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed proper instruments of transfer;
(e) from and after the redemption date, the shares to be redeemed shall cease to be regarded as outstanding and any and all rights attaching to such shares of whatever nature (including without limitation any rights to vote or participate in dividends declared on stock of the same class or series as such shares) shall cease and terminate, and the holders thereof thenceforth shall be entitled only to receive the cash or securities payable upon redemption; and
(f) the redemption shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall determine.
In connection with any exchange effected pursuant to Section F of this Article NINTH, authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors, subject to this Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL, to fix the designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any securities of the Corporation issued in exchange for any issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation held or beneficially owned by a foreign person or Contravening Person.





G. Board Action . The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive right to interpret all issues arising under this Article NINTH (including but not limited to determining whether a Foreign Ownership Review Event has occurred, whether an Adverse Regulatory Occurrence has occurred, whether a person is a foreign person or a Contravening Person, whether a person is an Affiliate of another person or a Related Person, whether a person controls or is controlled by another person and whether a person is the beneficial owner of securities of the Corporation, and whether a person has met the requirements of Section B of this Article NINTH with regard to the provision of information), and the determination of the Board under this Article NINTH shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 5.    Record Date.
(a)    In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be





more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

Attendance of a person at a meeting, present by person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1.    Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other Than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 2.    Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 3.    Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
Section 4.    Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if his or her action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him or her by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 4 shall





mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be.
Section 5.    Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
Section 6.    Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.
Section 7.    Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, statute, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VIII but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.
Section 8.    Primacy of Indemnification. The Corporation hereby acknowledges that any person that may be indemnified pursuant to these Bylaws (an “Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by an employer, partner or affiliate of such person and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Third Party Indemnitors”). The Corporation hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to each Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Third Party Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by these Bylaws and the Certificate of Incorporation (or any other agreement between the Corporation and an Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Third Party Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Third Party Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Third Party Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Third Party Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Third Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Corporation. The Corporation agrees that the Third Party Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8 or ARTICLE VIII.
Section 9.    Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or shall be a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was or shall be a director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.
Section 10.    Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a





consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers or employees, so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VIII.
Section 11.    Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 12.    Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 hereof), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director, officer or employee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
Section 13.    Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article VIII to directors and officers of the Corporation.
Section 14.    Effect of Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or admission occurring prior to the time of such repeal of modification.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS
Section 1.    Amendments. These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new Bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws be contained in the notice of such meeting of stockholders or Board of Directors as the case may be. Subject to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, all such amendments must be approved by either the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 50% of the voting power of all the shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class or by a majority of the entire Board of Directors then in office.
Section 2.    Entire Board of Directors. As used in this Article IX and in these Bylaws generally, the term “entire Board of Directors” means the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies.

(a)    Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(b)(1) by Cure. The Debtor shall, at its option, be permitted to resolve any dispute with respect to the amount of Cure either (i) through the Bankruptcy Court, or (ii) in the procedural manner in which a dispute regarding the amounts owed under a particular executory contract and unexpired lease would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.
(b)    If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 365) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure shall occur following (y) the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption if such dispute is adjudicated in the Bankruptcy Court, or (z) as to amounts under the executory contract or unexpired lease, following the final resolution of such matter if the Debtor elected to handle such dispute in the procedural manner in which it would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.
(c)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing subsections of this Section 6.2, the Debtor shall be authorized to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to the extent the Debtor, in the exercise of its sound business judgment, concludes that the amount of the Cure obligation as determined by Final Order or as otherwise finally resolved, renders assumption of such contract or lease unfavorable to the Debtor’s Estate. In the event the Debtor so rejects any previously assumed contract or lease, and such rejection gives rise to a Rejection Damages Claim, such Rejection Damages Claim arising out of such rejection shall be limited to the amount of the Allowed Rejection Damage Claim.
6.3    Rejected Contracts and Leases





The Debtor, with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders, reserves the right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, to seek to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to which the Debtor is a party and to file a motion requesting authorization for the rejection of any such contract or lease. Any executory contracts or unexpired leases that expire by their terms prior to the Effective Date are deemed to be rejected, unless previously assumed or otherwise disposed of by the Debtor.
6.4    Compensation and Benefit Programs
(a)    Except to the extent (i) otherwise provided for in the Plan, (ii) previously assumed or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or before the Confirmation Date, (iii) the subject of a pending motion to reject filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) previously terminated, all Employee Programs in effect before the Effective Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed under the Plan. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to modify the existing terms of Employee Programs, including, without limitation, the Debtor’s and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights of termination and amendment thereunder.
(b)    To the extent any “change in control” provision contained in any Employee Program would be triggered and payable solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, such Employee Program shall not be assumed to the extent a waiver of the change in control provision is not executed by the employee having the benefit of such change in control provision, but otherwise shall remain in full force and effect and may be triggered as a result of any transactions occurring after the Effective Date.
(c)    As of the Effective Date, any and all equity incentive plans, equity ownership plans, or any other equity-based plans entered into before the Effective Date, including Claims arising from any change in control provision therein, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are rejected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan pursuant to the Confirmation Order, provided, however, that nothing contained herein will impact any Cash payment components of any such equity-based plans.
(d)    The Reorganized Debtor affirms and agrees that (i) it is and will continue to be the contributing sponsor of the Employees’ Retirement Plan of USEC Inc. (the “Pension Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1301-1461, et seq; (ii) the Pension Plan is subject to minimum funding requirements of ERISA and §§ 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) no provision of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or Bankruptcy Code Section 1141, shall, or shall be construed to, discharge, release, or relieve the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any other party, in any capacity, from any liability with respect to the Pension Plan under any law, governmental policy, or regulatory provision; and (iv) neither the PBGC nor the Pension Plan shall be enjoined from enforcing such liability as a result of the Plan’s provisions for satisfaction, release and discharge of Claims. The Debtor further affirms and agrees that any discharge of liability provided under this Plan shall not operate to discharge any obligations it might have under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan maintained by Enrichment Corp, one of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, as a result of the Debtor’s status as a member of the “controlled group” for such pension plan. As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall contribute to the Pension Plan the amount necessary to satisfy minimum funding standards under sections 302 and 303 of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1082 and 1083, and sections 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent that any such contributions were not made during the Chapter 11 Case.
6.5    Certain Indemnification Obligations
(a)    Indemnification Obligations owed to those of the Debtor’s directors, officers, and employees serving prior to, on, and after the Petition Date shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan, and such Indemnification Obligations (subject to any defenses thereto) shall survive the Effective Date of the Plan and remain unaffected by the Plan, irrespective of whether obligations are owed in connection with a prepetition or postpetition occurrence.
(b)    Indemnification Obligations owed to any of the Debtor’s Professionals pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327 or 328 and order of the Bankruptcy Court, whether such Indemnification Obligations relate to the period before or after the Petition Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan.
6.6    Extension of Time to Assume or Reject





Notwithstanding anything set forth in Article [VI] of the Plan, in the event of a dispute as to whether a contract is executory or a lease is unexpired, the Debtor’s right to move to assume or reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after entry of a Final Order by the Bankruptcy Court determining that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired. The deemed assumption provided for in Section [6.1(a)] of the Plan shall not apply to any such contract or lease, and any such contract or lease shall be assumed or rejected only upon motion of the Debtor following the Bankruptcy Court’s determination that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.
6.7    Claims Arising from Assumption or Rejection
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all (i) Allowed Claims arising from the assumption of any contract or lease shall be treated as Administrative Claims pursuant to Section [3.1(a)] of the Plan; and (ii) Allowed Rejection Damages Claims shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section [3.2(d)] of the Plan.
(b)    If the rejection by the Debtor, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of a contract or lease results in a Rejection Damages Claim, then such Rejection Damages Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor or the properties of either of them unless a Proof of Claim is (i) filed with the Claims Agent on or before the date that is the first Business Day that is thirty (30) days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of an order authorizing the rejection of a contract or lease and (ii) contemporaneously with such filing, served upon (a) if such filing occurs prior to the Effective Date, counsel to the Debtor and counsel to the Consenting Noteholders or (b) if such filing occurs after the Effective Date, counsel to the Reorganized Debtor. All rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to object to any Rejection Damages Claim are reserved.

ARTICLE VII
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
7.1    Determination of Allowability of Claims and Interests and Rights to Distributions
(a)    Only holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests shall be entitled to receive distributions under the Plan.
(b)    Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, inter alia, with respect to Rejection Damage Claims and Claims subject to Bankruptcy Code Section 510(b)), there shall be no requirement for holders of Claims to file Proofs of Claim or Requests for Payment or for holders of Interests to file any proofs of interest. With respect to Filed Claims or filed Proofs of Interest, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to object to the Proofs of Claim, Requests for Payment or Proofs of Interest in the Bankruptcy Court by the Claims Objection Deadline, but shall not be required to do so. In no event shall the failure to object in the Bankruptcy Court to any Filed Claim or any proof of interest result in the deemed allowance of any such Claim or Interest. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to dispute all alleged Claims (whether Filed Claims or Unfiled Claims) and alleged Interests (whether or evidenced by a filed proof of interest) in any manner that would have been available to it had the Chapter 11 Case not been filed (including, without limitation, by declining to pay any alleged Claim or to recognize any alleged Interest), or may elect in its discretion to have any alleged Claim or Interest adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court.
(c)    No distributions shall be made on Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests until and unless such Disputed Claims become Allowed Claims and such Disputed Interests become Allowed Interests. No reserve shall be required with respect to any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest.
7.2    Timing of Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests
Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as of the applicable Distribution Date shall be made on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Distribution Date, but in no event later than the first Business Day that is twenty (20) days after such date; provided, however, that distributions on account of Noteholder Claims hereunder shall be made on the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtor or the Disbursing Agent shall have the right, in its discretion, to accelerate any Distribution Date occurring after the Effective Date if the facts and circumstances so warrant.
7.3    Procedures for Making Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests





(a)    On or before the Effective Date, the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) shall designate the Person(s) (whether the Reorganized Debtor and/or one or more independent third parties) to serve as the Disbursing Agent(s) under the Plan; provided, however, that (i) the Indenture Trustee shall serve as the Disbursing Agent with respect to the Noteholder Claims and (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall transmit distributions to the Noteholders subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to assert the Indenture Trustee’s Charging Lien against such distributions. If any Disbursing Agent is an independent third party, such Disbursing Agent shall receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from the Reorganized Debtor. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Plan to the contrary, the distribution provisions contained in the Old Indenture shall continue in effect to the extent necessary to authorize the Indenture Trustee to receive and distribute to the Noteholders pursuant to this Plan on account of Allowed Noteholder Claims and shall terminate completely upon completion of all such distributions.
(b)    The Disbursing Agent(s) shall make distributions to the holders of the Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in the same manner and to the same addresses as payments are made in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s businesses; provided, however, that if a Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest references a different payment address, the address on the Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest shall be used.
(c)     If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified by the Debtor, the Claims Agent, or such holder of such holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. If any distribution is made by check and such check is not returned but remains uncashed for six (6) months after the date of such check, the Disbursing Agent may cancel and void such check, and the distribution with respect thereto shall be deemed undeliverable. If, pursuant to Section [7.7] of the Plan, any holder is requested to provide an applicable Internal Revenue Service form or to otherwise satisfy any tax withholding requirements with respect to a distribution and such holder fails to do so within six (6) months of the date of such request, such holder’s distribution shall be deemed undeliverable.
(d)    Unless otherwise agreed between the Reorganized Debtor and the applicable Disbursing Agent, amounts in respect of returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtor until such distributions are claimed. All claims for returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions must be made (i) on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) with respect to any distribution made later than such date, on or before six (6) months after the date of such later distribution; after which date all undeliverable property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor free of any restrictions thereon and the claims of any holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. In the event of a timely claim for any returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distribution, the Reorganized Debtor shall deliver the applicable distribution amount or property to the Disbursing Agent for distribution pursuant to the Plan.
7.4    Calculation of Distribution Amounts of New Securities
No fractional shares of New Securities shall be issued or distributed under the Plan. Each Person entitled to receive New Securities shall receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock or their pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes, whichever is relevant, to which such Person is entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of New Securities, the actual distribution of such New Securities shall be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions one-half (½) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half (½) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Person is entitled to New Common Stock and rounding to the next lower whole number would result in such Person receiving zero shares of New Common Stock, such Person shall receive one (1) share of New Common Stock; and (b) if the Person is entitled to a pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes and rounding to the next lower whole number would result in such Person receiving zero dollars worth of New Notes, such Person shall receive a New Note in the principal amount of one $1.00 (One Dollar). If two or more Persons are entitled to fractional entitlements and the aggregate amount of New Securities that would otherwise be issued to such Persons with respect to such fractional entitlements as a result of such rounding exceeds the number of whole New Securities which remain to be allocated, the Disbursing Agent shall allocate the remaining whole New Securities to such holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the Disbursing Agent deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole New Securities authorized under the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect. The Disbursing Agent shall have the right to carry forward to subsequent distributions any applicable credits or debits arising from the rounding described in this paragraph.





7.5    Application of Distribution Record Date
On the applicable Distribution Record Date, (a) for all Claims other than Noteholder Claims, the Debtor’s books and records for Unfiled Claims and the claims register maintained by the Claims Agent for Filed Claims, (b) for Noteholder Claims, the transfer ledgers for the Old Notes and (c) for Interests, the records of the Debtor in the case of the Preferred Stock Interests/Claims and the records of the stock transfer agent in the case of the Common Stock Interests/Claims, shall be closed for purposes of determining the record holders of Claims or Interests, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims or Interests. Except as provided herein, the Reorganized Debtor, the Disbursing Agent(s), the Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective agents, successors, and assigns shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims or Interests occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the applicable books and records, claims registers or transfer ledgers as of 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on the Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of distributions to be made under the Plan to such Persons or the date of such distributions.
7.6    Surrender of Cancelled Old Securities
As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Claim, each record Noteholder shall be deemed to have surrendered the Old Notes or other documentation underlying each Noteholder Claim, and all such surrendered Old Notes and other documentation shall be deemed to be cancelled pursuant to Section [5.4] of the Plan, except to the extent otherwise provided herein. As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Interest, each holder of an Allowed Common Stock Interest/Claim and an Allowed Preferred Stock Interest/Claim shall be deemed to have surrendered any stock certificate or other documentation underlying each such Interest/Claim, and any such stock certificates and other documentation shall be deemed to be cancelled pursuant to Section [5.4] of the Plan.
7.7    Withholding and Reporting Requirements
In connection with the Plan and all distributions hereunder, the applicable Disbursing Agent shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent(s) shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements including, without limitation, requiring that, as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, the holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest complete the appropriate IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9, as applicable to each holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest that is to receive a distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Disbursing Agent to allow it to comply with its tax withholding and reporting requirements. Any property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution to be held by the Indenture Trustee or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, until such time as the Disbursing Agent is satisfied with the holder’s arrangements for any withholding tax obligations.
7.8    Setoffs
The Reorganized Debtor may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any such claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against such holder.
7.9    Prepayment
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, any ancillary documents entered into in connection herewith, or the Confirmation Order, the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to prepay, without penalty, all or any portion of an Allowed Claim at any time; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall not be violative of, or otherwise prejudice, the relative priorities and parities among the Classes of Claims.
7.10    Allocation of Distributions





All distributions received under the Plan by holders of applicable Claims shall be deemed to be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim as determined for United States federal income tax purposes and then to accrued interest, if any, with respect to such Claim.

If any securities of the Corporation are represented by a certificate, a legend shall be placed on such certificate to the effect that such securities are subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article NINTH. If any such securities shall not be represented by certificates, then the Corporation shall require, to the extent required by law, that an analogous notification of such restrictions be used in respect of such securities.

E. Joint Ownership . For purposes of this Article NINTH, where the same shares of any class of equity securities of the Corporation are held or beneficially owned by one or more persons, and any one of such persons is a foreign person or a Contravening Person, then such shares shall be deemed to be held or beneficially owned by a foreign person or Contravening Person, as applicable.

F. Redemption and Exchange . Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, any shares held or beneficially owned by a foreign person or a Contravening Person shall always be subject to redemption or exchange by the Corporation by action of the Board of Directors, pursuant to Section 151 of the DGCL or any other applicable provision of law, to the extent necessary in the judgment of the Board of Directors to prevent any Adverse Regulatory Occurrence. Except where the context provides otherwise, as used in this Certificate of Incorporation, “redemption” and “exchange” are hereinafter collectively referred to as “redemption”, references to shares being “redeemed” shall be deemed to include shares which are being “exchanged”, and references to “redemption price” shall be deemed to include the amount and kind of securities for which any such shares are exchanged. The terms and conditions of such redemption shall be as follows:
(a) the redemption price of the shares to be redeemed pursuant to this Article NINTH shall be equal to the fair market value of the shares to be redeemed, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith unless the Board of Directors determine in good faith that the holder of such shares knew or should have known its ownership or beneficial ownership would constitute a Foreign Ownership Review Event, in which case the redemption price for any such shares, other than shares for which the Board of Directors had determined at the time of the holder’s purchase that the ownership of, or exercise of rights with respect to, such shares did not, at such time, constitute an Adverse Regulatory Occurrence, shall be equal to the lower of (i) the fair market value of the shares to be redeemed and (ii) such foreign person’s or Contravening Person’s purchase price for such shares;
(b) the redemption price of such shares may be paid in cash, securities or any combination thereof and the value of any securities constituting all or any part of the redemption price shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith;
(c) if less than all the shares held or beneficially owned by foreign persons are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected in any manner determined by the Board of Directors to be fair and equitable;
(d) at least 30 days’ written notice of the redemption date shall be given to the record holders of the shares selected to be redeemed (unless waived in writing by any such holder), provided that the redemption date may be the date on which written notice shall be given to record holders if the cash or redemption securities necessary to effect the redemption shall have been deposited in trust for the benefit of such record holders and subject to immediate withdrawal by them upon surrender of the stock certificates for their shares to be redeemed, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed proper instruments of transfer;
(e) from and after the redemption date, the shares to be redeemed shall cease to be regarded as outstanding and any and all rights attaching to such shares of whatever nature (including without limitation any rights to vote or participate in dividends declared on stock of the same class or series as such shares) shall cease and terminate, and the holders thereof thenceforth shall be entitled only to receive the cash or securities payable upon redemption; and
(f) the redemption shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall determine.
In connection with any exchange effected pursuant to Section F of this Article NINTH, authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors, subject to this Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL, to fix the designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any securities of the Corporation issued in exchange for any issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation held or beneficially owned by a foreign person or Contravening Person.
G. Board Action . The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive right to interpret all issues arising under this Article NINTH (including but not limited to determining whether a Foreign Ownership Review Event has occurred, whether an Adverse Regulatory Occurrence has occurred, whether a person is a foreign person or a Contravening Person, whether a person





is an Affiliate of another person or a Related Person, whether a person controls or is controlled by another person and whether a person is the beneficial owner of securities of the Corporation, and whether a person has met the requirements of Section B of this Article NINTH with regard to the provision of information), and the determination of the Board under this Article NINTH shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Bylaws of the Corporation may make appropriate provisions to effectuate the requirements of this Article NINTH to the extent set forth herein and the Board may, at any time and from time to time, adopt such other or additional reasonable procedures as the Board may deem desirable or necessary to comply with Regulatory Restrictions, to prevent or remedy any Adverse Regulatory Occurrence, to address any issues arising in connection with a Foreign Ownership Review Event or to otherwise carry out the provisions of this Article NINTH.

Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed or the issuance of such new certificate.

No transfer shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred.
Section 5.    Record Date.
(a)    In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be





more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
(b)    In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action.

ARTICLE VI
NOTICES

Whenever written notice is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to be given to any director, member of a committee or stockholder, such notice may be given by mail, addressed to such director, member of a committee or stockholder, at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail.

Whenever any notice is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to be given to any director, member of a committee or stockholder, a waiver thereof in writing, signed, by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a person at a meeting, present by person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in its absolute discretion, deems proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for any proper purpose, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1.    Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other Than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 2.    Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 3.    Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
Section 4.    Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if his or her action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him or her by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 4 shall





mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be.
Section 5.    Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
Section 6.    Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.
Section 7.    Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, statute, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VIII but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.
Section 8.    Primacy of Indemnification. The Corporation hereby acknowledges that any person that may be indemnified pursuant to these Bylaws (an “Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by an employer, partner or affiliate of such person and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Third Party Indemnitors”). The Corporation hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to each Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Third Party Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by these Bylaws and the Certificate of Incorporation (or any other agreement between the Corporation and an Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Third Party Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Third Party Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Third Party Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Third Party Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Third Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Corporation. The Corporation agrees that the Third Party Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8 or ARTICLE VIII.
Section 9.    Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or shall be a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was or shall be a director, officer or employee of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.
Section 10.    Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a





consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers or employees, so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VIII.
Section 11.    Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 12.    Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 hereof), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director, officer or employee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
Section 13.    Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article VIII to directors and officers of the Corporation.
Section 14.    Effect of Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or admission occurring prior to the time of such repeal of modification.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS
Section 1.    Amendments. These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new Bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws be contained in the notice of such meeting of stockholders or Board of Directors as the case may be. Subject to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, all such amendments must be approved by either the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 50% of the voting power of all the shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class or by a majority of the entire Board of Directors then in office.
Section 2.    Entire Board of Directors. As used in this Article IX and in these Bylaws generally, the term “entire Board of Directors” means the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies.

18.      Survival of Agreement .

USEC Inc. to Implement Financial Restructuring Plan
Files voluntary, prearranged plan of reorganization under Chapter 11
Plan supported by majority of noteholders and by preferred investors, Toshiba and B&W
Daily operations continue unaffected
Filing relates only to parent company
USEC to fully meet obligations to customers and suppliers as operations continue
USEC terminates Tax Benefit Preservation Plan

BETHESDA, Md. - USEC Inc. (NYSE: USU) announced today that it is implementing the agreement reached with a majority of the holders of its senior unsecured convertible notes that was announced in December 2013. This agreement sets forth the terms of a financial restructuring plan to strengthen the company’s balance sheet, enhance its ability to sponsor the American Centrifuge project and improve its long-term business opportunities. The company also announced today that it reached agreement with its preferred equity investors, Toshiba Corporation and The Babcock & Wilcox Company, to support the restructuring plan.
In order to implement the agreement, USEC today filed a voluntary petition and a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11of the bankruptcy code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. USEC anticipates receiving Court approval for its prearranged plan of reorganization and emerging from Chapter 11 in 90 to 120 days. None of USEC’s subsidiaries, including its primary operating subsidiary the United States Enrichment Corporation, have filed for bankruptcy protection.
The Company had positive cash flow from operations in 2013 and ended the year with a cash balance of $314 million. During the restructuring process, USEC’s subsidiary, the United States Enrichment Corporation, will provide debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing to USEC that will support continued operations. No third-party DIP financing will be required. After meeting its significant payables in the first quarter, the Company anticipates a cash balance of at least $60 million at March 31, 2014.
This filing has no impact on USEC’s daily operations, which includes the company’s efforts to deploy the American Centrifuge uranium enrichment technology and perform the research, development and demonstration program partially funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. As a non-debtor, United States Enrichment Corporation’s operations, which include the transition of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant back to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the sale of SWU from its inventory and purchases of Russian low enriched uranium, continue unaffected.
“By addressing the October 2014 maturity of the convertible notes, USEC will be able to pursue its ongoing business objectives with greater certainty,” said John K. Welch, USEC president and chief executive officer. “The restructuring will strengthen USEC’s balance sheet and enhance the company’s ability to sponsor the American Centrifuge project. Throughout this process our operations will continue. We will continue to make customer deliveries, execute the RD&D program and continue progress on transitioning the Paducah GDP.”





The plan of reorganization, which is supported by those holding approximately 65 percent of USEC’s debt, as well as Toshiba and Babcock & Wilcox, calls for replacing USEC’s $530 million debt and all of its preferred and common stock with a new debt issue totaling $240.4 million and new common stock. The new debt issue would mature in five years and can be extended for an additional five years subject to certain conditions. The noteholders would receive $200 million of the new debt and approximately 79 percent of the common stock, Toshiba and Babcock & Wilcox would each receive $20.19 million of the new debt and approximately 8 percent of the new common stock. Existing stockholders would receive 5 percent of the new common stock. USEC’s board of directors and management team are substantial holders of the common stock and their holdings will be treated exactly as all other common shareholders. In addition, any unvested or unexercised stock awards they hold will be forfeited under the plan.
USEC issued the original notes in 2007 at a time when the nuclear power industry was expected to grow significantly and the American Centrifuge Plant was expected to be completed and producing operating cash flow before the notes matured. In addition, USEC, Toshiba and Babcock & Wilcox entered into an agreement in 2010 for a phased preferred equity investment to strengthen the Company’s financial position for deployment of the American Centrifuge technology. The company’s deployment plans for the American Centrifuge Plant have been affected by delays in obtaining permanent financing for construction and by a global oversupply of nuclear fuel following a devastating tsunami in Japan that resulted in extensive damage to reactors at Fukushima in 2011. More than 50 nuclear power reactors in Japan and Germany were shut down. The resulting oversupply caused nuclear fuel prices to drop to their lowest levels in a decade, which has negatively affected the economics of deploying the American Centrifuge technology in the near term. Other factors that have affected the Company’s deployment plans include increases in the cost of several key commodities, and changes and additions to project scope and schedule.
The current USEC board of directors will oversee the restructuring process until the effective date of the plan when a new board would take its place. B&W and Toshiba each retain the right to representation on the board of directors.
The restructuring plan support agreements entered into by Toshiba and Babcock & Wilcox and other materials related to the filing can be found in an 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available in the Investors section of the company’s website, www.usec.com. In addition, documents related to the Chapter 11 filing are available at www.loganandco.com .
In connection with the bankruptcy filing, USEC’s board of directors also approved the termination of the company’s tax benefit preservation plan, which was originally scheduled to expire on September 29, 2014. The plan has been amended to accelerate the expiration date to March 4, 2014, effectively terminating the plan as of that date.
USEC expects to issue its fourth quarter 2013 earnings and its Annual Report on Form 10-K in late March. During the period its case is pending in Bankruptcy Court, USEC will not hold quarterly telephonic conference calls with investors.
USEC has informed and discussed the Chapter 11 filing with the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s most recent quarterly update on its plan of compliance to meet the Exchange’s continued listing standards was accepted and the stock has traded since the Company’s December 16 announcement that it had reached a restructuring agreement. The NYSE will continue to monitor the Company under its continued listing standards throughout the Chapter 11 process.





USEC’s legal advisor for the restructuring is Latham & Watkins LLP, its financial advisor is Lazard, and its restructuring advisor is Alix Partners LLP. An ad hoc group of holders of USEC's senior convertible notes is advised by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and Houlihan Lokey.
USEC Inc., a global energy company, is a leading supplier of enriched uranium fuel for commercial nuclear power plants.

ARTICLE VI
TREATMENT OF CONTRACTS AND LEASES
6.1    Assumed Contracts and Leases
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or the Plan Supplement, as of the Effective Date, the Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each executory contract or unexpired lease to which the Debtor is a party as of the Petition Date unless any such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected upon motion by a Final Order, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (iii) is the subject of any pending motion, including to assume, to assume on modified terms, to reject or to make any other disposition filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) is subsequently rejected in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2(c) of the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a) approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the Effective Date.
(b)    Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed shall include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affects such contract or lease and (ii) all contracts or leases appurtenant to the subject premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
(c)    To the extent applicable, all executory contracts or unexpired leases of the Debtor assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not be a “change in control,” however such term may be defined in the relevant executory contract or unexpired lease, and any required consent under any such contract or lease shall be deemed satisfied by the Confirmation of the Plan.
6.2    Payments Related to Assumption of Contracts and Leases; Resolution of Assumption-Related Disputes
(a)    Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(b)(1) by Cure. The Debtor shall, at its option, be permitted to resolve any dispute with respect to the amount of Cure either (i) through the Bankruptcy Court, or (ii) in the procedural manner in which a dispute regarding the amounts owed under a particular executory contract and unexpired lease would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.
(b)    If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 365) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure shall occur following (y) the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption if such dispute is adjudicated in the Bankruptcy Court, or (z) as to amounts under the executory contract or unexpired lease, following the final resolution of such matter if the Debtor elected to handle such dispute in the procedural manner in which it would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.





(c)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing subsections of this Section 6.2, the Debtor shall be authorized to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to the extent the Debtor, in the exercise of its sound business judgment, concludes that the amount of the Cure obligation as determined by Final Order or as otherwise finally resolved, renders assumption of such contract or lease unfavorable to the Debtor’s Estate. In the event the Debtor so rejects any previously assumed contract or lease, and such rejection gives rise to a Rejection Damages Claim, such Rejection Damages Claim arising out of such rejection shall be limited to the amount of the Allowed Rejection Damage Claim.
6.3    Rejected Contracts and Leases
The Debtor, with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders, reserves the right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, to seek to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to which the Debtor is a party and to file a motion requesting authorization for the rejection of any such contract or lease. Any executory contracts or unexpired leases that expire by their terms prior to the Effective Date are deemed to be rejected, unless previously assumed or otherwise disposed of by the Debtor.
6.4    Compensation and Benefit Programs
(a)    Except to the extent (i) otherwise provided for in the Plan, (ii) previously assumed or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or before the Confirmation Date, (iii) the subject of a pending motion to reject filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) previously terminated, all Employee Programs in effect before the Effective Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed under the Plan. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to modify the existing terms of Employee Programs, including, without limitation, the Debtor’s and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights of termination and amendment thereunder.
(b)    To the extent any “change in control” provision contained in any Employee Program would be triggered and payable solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, such Employee Program shall not be assumed to the extent a waiver of the change in control provision is not executed by the employee having the benefit of such change in control provision, but otherwise shall remain in full force and effect and may be triggered as a result of any transactions occurring after the Effective Date.
(c)    As of the Effective Date, any and all equity incentive plans, equity ownership plans, or any other equity-based plans entered into before the Effective Date, including Claims arising from any change in control provision therein, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are rejected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan pursuant to the Confirmation Order, provided, however, that nothing contained herein will impact any Cash payment components of any such equity-based plans.
(d)    The Reorganized Debtor affirms and agrees that (i) it is and will continue to be the contributing sponsor of the Employees’ Retirement Plan of USEC Inc. (the “Pension Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1301-1461, et seq; (ii) the Pension Plan is subject to minimum funding requirements of ERISA and §§ 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) no provision of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or Bankruptcy Code Section 1141, shall, or shall be construed to, discharge, release, or relieve the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any other party, in any capacity, from any liability with respect to the Pension Plan under any law, governmental policy, or regulatory provision; and (iv) neither the PBGC nor the Pension Plan shall be enjoined from enforcing such liability as a result of the Plan’s provisions for satisfaction, release and discharge of Claims. The Debtor further affirms and agrees that any discharge of liability provided under this Plan shall not operate to discharge any obligations it might have under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan maintained by Enrichment Corp, one of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, as a result of the Debtor’s status as a member of the “controlled group” for such pension plan. As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall contribute to the Pension Plan the amount necessary to satisfy minimum funding standards under sections 302 and 303 of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1082 and 1083, and sections 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent that any such contributions were not made during the Chapter 11 Case.
6.5    Certain Indemnification Obligations
(a)    Indemnification Obligations owed to those of the Debtor’s directors, officers, and employees serving prior to, on, and after the Petition Date shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan, and such Indemnification Obligations (subject to any defenses thereto) shall survive the Effective Date of the Plan and remain unaffected by the Plan, irrespective of whether obligations are owed in connection with a prepetition or postpetition occurrence.





(b)    Indemnification Obligations owed to any of the Debtor’s Professionals pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327 or 328 and order of the Bankruptcy Court, whether such Indemnification Obligations relate to the period before or after the Petition Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan.
6.6    Extension of Time to Assume or Reject
Notwithstanding anything set forth in Article VI of the Plan, in the event of a dispute as to whether a contract is executory or a lease is unexpired, the Debtor’s right to move to assume or reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after entry of a Final Order by the Bankruptcy Court determining that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired. The deemed assumption provided for in Section 6.1(a) of the Plan shall not apply to any such contract or lease, and any such contract or lease shall be assumed or rejected only upon motion of the Debtor following the Bankruptcy Court’s determination that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.
6.7    Claims Arising from Assumption or Rejection
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all (i) Allowed Claims arising from the assumption of any contract or lease shall be treated as Administrative Claims pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Plan; and (ii) Allowed Rejection Damages Claims shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 3.2(c) of the Plan.
(b)    If the rejection by the Debtor, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of a contract or lease results in a Rejection Damages Claim, then such Rejection Damages Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor or the properties of either of them unless a Proof of Claim is (i) filed with the Claims Agent on or before the date that is the first Business Day that is thirty (30) days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of an order authorizing the rejection of a contract or lease and (ii) contemporaneously with such filing, served upon (a) if such filing occurs prior to the Effective Date, counsel to the Debtor and counsel to the Consenting Noteholders or (b) if such filing occurs after the Effective Date, counsel to the Reorganized Debtor. All rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to object to any Rejection Damages Claim are reserved.

ARTICLE VII
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
7.1    Determination of Allowability of Claims and Interests and Rights to Distributions
(a)    Only holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests shall be entitled to receive distributions under the Plan.
(b)    Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, inter alia, with respect to Rejection Damage Claims and Claims subject to Bankruptcy Code Section 510(b)), there shall be no requirement for holders of Claims to file Proofs of Claim or Requests for Payment or for holders of Interests to file any proofs of interest. With respect to Filed Claims or filed Proofs of Interest, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to object to the Proofs of Claim, Requests for Payment or Proofs of Interest in the Bankruptcy Court by the Claims Objection Deadline, but shall not be required to do so. In no event shall the failure to object in the Bankruptcy Court to any Filed Claim or any proof of interest result in the deemed allowance of any such Claim or Interest. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to dispute all alleged Claims (whether Filed Claims or Unfiled Claims) and alleged Interests (whether or evidenced by a filed proof of interest) in any manner that would have been available to it had the Chapter 11 Case not been filed (including, without limitation, by declining to pay any alleged Claim or to recognize any alleged Interest), or may elect in its discretion to have any alleged Claim or Interest adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court.
(c)    No distributions shall be made on Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests until and unless such Disputed Claims become Allowed Claims and such Disputed Interests become Allowed Interests. No reserve shall be required with respect to any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest.
7.2    Timing of Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests





Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as of the applicable Distribution Date shall be made on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Distribution Date, but in no event later than the first Business Day that is twenty (20) days after such date; provided, however, that distributions on account of Noteholder Claims hereunder shall be made on the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtor or the Disbursing Agent shall have the right, in its discretion, to accelerate any Distribution Date occurring after the Effective Date if the facts and circumstances so warrant.
7.3    Procedures for Making Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests
(a)    On or before the Effective Date, the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) shall designate the Person(s) (whether the Reorganized Debtor and/or one or more independent third parties) to serve as the Disbursing Agent(s) under the Plan; provided, however, that (i) the Indenture Trustee shall serve as the Disbursing Agent with respect to the Noteholder Claims and (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall transmit distributions to the Noteholders subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to assert the Indenture Trustee’s Charging Lien against such distributions. If any Disbursing Agent is an independent third party, such Disbursing Agent shall receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from the Reorganized Debtor. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Plan to the contrary, the distribution provisions contained in the Old Indenture shall continue in effect to the extent necessary to authorize the Indenture Trustee to receive and distribute to the Noteholders pursuant to this Plan on account of Allowed Noteholder Claims and shall terminate completely upon completion of all such distributions.
(b)    The Disbursing Agent(s) shall make distributions to the holders of the Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in the same manner and to the same addresses as payments are made in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s businesses; provided, however, that if a Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest references a different payment address, the address on the Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest shall be used.
(c)     If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified by the Debtor, the Claims Agent, or such holder of such holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. If any distribution is made by check and such check is not returned but remains uncashed for six (6) months after the date of such check, the Disbursing Agent may cancel and void such check, and the distribution with respect thereto shall be deemed undeliverable. If, pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Plan, any holder is requested to provide an applicable Internal Revenue Service form or to otherwise satisfy any tax withholding requirements with respect to a distribution and such holder fails to do so within six (6) months of the date of such request, such holder’s distribution shall be deemed undeliverable.
(d)    Unless otherwise agreed between the Reorganized Debtor and the applicable Disbursing Agent, amounts in respect of returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtor until such distributions are claimed. All claims for returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions must be made (i) on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) with respect to any distribution made later than such date, on or before six (6) months after the date of such later distribution; after which date all undeliverable property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor free of any restrictions thereon and the claims of any holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. In the event of a timely claim for any returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distribution, the Reorganized Debtor shall deliver the applicable distribution amount or property to the Disbursing Agent for distribution pursuant to the Plan.
7.4    Calculation of Distribution Amounts of New Securities
No fractional shares of New Securities shall be issued or distributed under the Plan. Each Person entitled to receive New Securities shall receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock or their pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes, whichever is relevant, to which such Person is entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of New Securities, the actual distribution of such New Securities shall be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions one-half (½) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half (½) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Person is entitled to New Common Stock and rounding to the next lower whole number would result in such Person receiving zero shares of New Common Stock, such Person shall receive one (1) share of New Common Stock; and (b) if the Person is entitled to a pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes and rounding to the next lower whole number





would result in such Person receiving zero dollars worth of New Notes, such Person shall receive a New Note in the principal amount of one $1.00 (One Dollar). If two or more Persons are entitled to fractional entitlements and the aggregate amount of New Securities that would otherwise be issued to such Persons with respect to such fractional entitlements as a result of such rounding exceeds the number of whole New Securities which remain to be allocated, the Disbursing Agent shall allocate the remaining whole New Securities to such holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the Disbursing Agent deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole New Securities authorized under the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect. The Disbursing Agent shall have the right to carry forward to subsequent distributions any applicable credits or debits arising from the rounding described in this paragraph.
7.5    Application of Distribution Record Date
On the applicable Distribution Record Date, (a) for all Claims other than Noteholder Claims, the Debtor’s books and records for Unfiled Claims and the claims register maintained by the Claims Agent for Filed Claims, (b) for Noteholder Claims, the transfer ledgers for the Old Notes and (c) for Interests, the records of the Debtor in the case of the Preferred Stock Interests/Claims and the records of the stock transfer agent in the case of the Common Stock Interests/Claims, shall be closed for purposes of determining the record holders of Claims or Interests, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims or Interests. Except as provided herein, the Reorganized Debtor, the Disbursing Agent(s), the Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective agents, successors, and assigns shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims or Interests occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the applicable books and records, claims registers or transfer ledgers as of 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on the Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of distributions to be made under the Plan to such Persons or the date of such distributions.
7.6    Surrender of Cancelled Old Securities
As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Claim, each record Noteholder shall be deemed to have surrendered the Old Notes or other documentation underlying each Noteholder Claim, and all such surrendered Old Notes and other documentation shall be deemed to be cancelled pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan, except to the extent otherwise provided herein. As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Interest, each holder of an Allowed Common Stock Interest/Claim and an Allowed Preferred Stock Interest/Claim shall be deemed to have surrendered any stock certificate or other documentation underlying each such Interest/Claim, and any such stock certificates and other documentation shall be deemed to be cancelled pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan.
7.7    Withholding and Reporting Requirements
In connection with the Plan and all distributions hereunder, the applicable Disbursing Agent shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent(s) shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements including, without limitation, requiring that, as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, the holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest complete the appropriate IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9, as applicable to each holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest that is to receive a distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Disbursing Agent to allow it to comply with its tax withholding and reporting requirements. Any property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution to be held by the Indenture Trustee or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, until such time as the Disbursing Agent is satisfied with the holder’s arrangements for any withholding tax obligations.
7.8    Setoffs
The Reorganized Debtor may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any such claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against such holder.





7.9    Prepayment
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, any ancillary documents entered into in connection herewith, or the Confirmation Order, the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to prepay, without penalty, all or any portion of an Allowed Claim at any time; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall not be violative of, or otherwise prejudice, the relative priorities and parities among the Classes of Claims.
7.10    Allocation of Distributions
All distributions received under the Plan by holders of applicable Claims shall be deemed to be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim as determined for United States federal income tax purposes and then to accrued interest, if any, with respect to such Claim.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF USEC INC.

I.
INTRODUCTION

On March 5, 2014 (the “ Petition Date ”), USEC Inc. (the “ Debtor ”) commenced a “prearranged” case under Chapter 11 (the “ Chapter 11 Case ”) of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (as amended, the “ Bankruptcy Code ”) by filing a petition for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “ Bankruptcy Court ”).
The Debtor commenced the Chapter 11 Case with the support of the holders of approximately 65% in principal amount of the Debtor’s convertible note debt (the “ Consenting Noteholders ”), who are parties to or assignees under a Plan Support Agreement executed with the Debtor on December 13, 2013 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Noteholder Plan Support Agreement ”), as well as the support of the two holders of the Debtor’s preferred stock interests, Babcock and Wilcox Investment Company (“ B&W ) and Toshiba America Nuclear Energy Corporation (“ Toshiba ”), each of which executed its own Plan Support Agreement with the Debtor on March 4, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ B&W Plan Support Agreement ”) and March 4, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Toshiba Plan Support Agreement ”), respectively (the Noteholder Plan Support Agreement, the B&W Plan Support Agreement and the Toshiba Plan Support Agreement collectively, the “ Plan Support Agreements ”).
On the Petition Date, consistent with the terms of the Plan Support Agreements, the Debtor filed the Plan of Reorganization of USEC Inc. , dated as of March 5, 2014 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Plan ”), which sets forth the manner in which Claims against and Interests in the Debtor will be treated upon or following the Debtor’s emergence from Chapter 11. The Debtor has also filed the Plan Supplement Pursuant to Section 5.15 of Plan of Reorganization of USEC Inc. in parts on March 5, 2014 and on [________], 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Plan Supplement ”), which includes the material documents necessary to implement the Plan.
Through the Plan, the Debtor is attempting to implement a financial restructuring designed to reduce its outstanding indebtedness and strengthen its balance sheet, thereby enabling it to emerge from Chapter 11 on a financial footing that is expected to improve its prospects for later achieving certain strategic initiatives that are essential to its long-term viability. It is important to note at the outset, however, that there are significant risks to the achievement of such strategic initiatives and, thus, no guarantee that the Debtor will have long-term viability. Nevertheless, it is the view of the Debtor that its future prospects will be severely impaired without accomplishing the financial restructuring.
A copy of the Plan is attached to this Disclosure Statement as Appendix A . All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Disclosure Statement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. To the extent of any conflict between the terms or conditions of this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control and govern.
The Debtor’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “ Non-Debtor Subsidiaries ”), which include United States Enrichment Corporation (“ Enrichment Corp ”), have not commenced their own cases for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and are not otherwise included in the Chapter 11 Case commenced by the Debtor. Nevertheless, Enrichment Corp has agreed to be a co-proponent and participant in the Plan for the limited purpose set forth in the Plan.

B.
OVERVIEW OF THE DEBTOR’S SITUATION
As described in more detail later in this Disclosure Statement, the USEC corporate family, consisting of the Debtor and seven non-debtor direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Company ”), is a heavily-regulated global energy company that supplies low enriched uranium (“ LEU ”) for commercial nuclear power plants. LEU is a critical component in the production of nuclear fuel for reactors to produce electricity. At this time, the Company’s primary operating entity and sole revenue generator is Enrichment Corp. Enrichment Corp currently supplies LEU to both domestic and international utilities for use in nuclear reactors worldwide. Enrichment Corp’s sources of LEU are (i) its own inventories of LEU derived from (a) the historical enrichment of uranium at a gaseous diffusion plant leased from the U.S. Department of Energy (the “ DOE ”) and (b) LEU previously purchased from Russia under a government-sponsored nuclear nonproliferation program and (ii) commercial LEU currently purchased from Russia under a ten-year contract.
The Company is currently engaged in a technological transformation of its business for long term success. Key to this transformation is transitioning from the expensive and non-competitive gaseous diffusion technology previously used by Enrichment Corp to lower-cost and more advanced gas centrifuge technology. The Debtor is leading this transformation through its efforts to commercialize its “American Centrifuge” technology at a new plant to be constructed on property leased from the DOE (the “ American Centrifuge Plant ”). As part of this transformation, Enrichment Corp has ceased enrichment of uranium, but is continuing operations as a supplier of LEU, relying on its existing inventories as well as LEU purchased from Russia to satisfy customer contracts until its “American Centrifuge” affiliates construct and commence commercial operations at the American Centrifuge Plant. This is a multi-year process that will require significant third-party funding and cooperation from the U.S. government.
To improve its prospects for obtaining such funding and cooperation, the Debtor has embarked on a process of restructuring its balance sheet, where it carries approximately $530 million in principal amount of convertible note debt coming due in 2014 and approximately $113.9 million in preferred stock obligations. With the support of the Consenting Noteholders, B&W and Toshiba, and pursuant to the respective Plan Support Agreements, the Debtor commenced the Chapter 11 Case for the purpose of achieving the balance sheet restructuring.
It is important to note, however, that the anticipated balance sheet restructuring is not a guarantee that the Debtor will be able to obtain the necessary funding and cooperation to deploy a new gas centrifuge plant --- it is just one necessary step among many others that must be taken by the Debtor and its non-debtor subsidiaries over the months and years that will follow the restructuring.
C.
OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN
The following is a brief overview of the material provisions of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan. For a more detailed description of the terms and provisions of the Plan, see Part IV of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “The Plan.” Additionally, a summary of the material terms of the documents that are included in the Plan Supplement (including, but not limited to, the Exit Facility, the New USEC Governing Documents (including the terms of the New Common





Stock), the New Indenture (including the terms of the New Notes and the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty), the Subsidiary Security Agreement, the New Management Incentive Plan and the Supplementary Strategic Relationship Agreement) is attached hereto as Appendix B . To the extent of any inconsistency between such summary and the documents included in the Plan Supplement, such documents will control.
The Plan proposes, and its terms embody, a “prearranged” restructuring of (a) unsecured claims arising from the Debtor’s 3.0% convertible senior notes due 2014, which are referred to in the Plan as the Noteholder Claims and (b) preferred equity interests in the Debtor, which are included in the Plan’s definition of Preferred Stock Interests/Claims. As indicated above, the restructuring has the support of holders of the Consenting Noteholders, B&W and Toshiba.
The Plan is premised upon the view that there is insufficient unencumbered value in the Debtor to pay the Noteholder Claims in full and that, under the Bankruptcy Code’s absolute priority rule, no junior Class of Claims or Interests is entitled to any recovery under the Plan without consent from the holders of the Noteholder Claims. Under the “prearranged” restructuring terms agreed to by the Consenting Noteholders, the Preferred Stock Interests/Claims, which are junior to the Noteholder Claims, will receive the treatment provided for in the Plan in recognition of the role of B&W and Toshiba as important strategic partners to the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor. In addition, assuming acceptance of the Plan by each of the classes of Noteholder Claims and Preferred Stock Interests/Claims, Common Stock Interests/Claims, which are junior to both the Noteholder Claims and the Preferred Stock Interests/Claims, will receive the treatment provided in the Plan. Holders of Unexercised Common Stock Rights will not receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such Unexercised Common Stock Rights. AS NEGOTIATED WITH THE CONSENTING NOTEHOLDERS, B&W AND TOSHIBA, All other Claims against the Debtor are Unimpaired under the Plan.
The Plan designates eight Classes of Claims and Interests. These Classes take into account the differing nature and priority under the Bankruptcy Code of the various Claims and Interests.
The Debtor believes that the Plan provides the best means currently available to restructure its balance sheet and emerge successfully from Chapter 11.
1.
General Structure Of The Plan
The following is an overview of certain material terms of the Plan:
The Debtor will be reorganized pursuant to the Plan and will continue in operation, achieving the objectives of Chapter 11 for the benefit of its creditors, other stakeholders and employees.
The Debtor will have obtained the DIP Facility on the Petition Date, and the resulting DIP Facility Claim will be paid in full or otherwise treated as permitted by the terms of the DIP Facility.
Allowed Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims will be paid in full as required by the Bankruptcy Code, unless otherwise agreed by the holder of any such Claim.
Allowed Secured Claims, General Unsecured Claims and Intercompany Claims are Unimpaired under the Plan and will either be Reinstated or paid in full as the Plan provides for each Class of such Claims, unless otherwise agreed by the holder of any such Claim.
The Old Notes will be cancelled and the Debtor will issue New Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $240.38 million. The New Notes will have the benefit of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and Subsidiary Security Agreement from Enrichment Corp. The holders of Allowed Noteholder Claims will receive their Pro Rata share of $200.00 million of the New Notes and the holders of Allowed Preferred Stock Interests/Claims will receive their Pro Rata share of $40.38 million of the New Notes.
The USEC Common Stock will be cancelled and the Debtor will issue shares of New Common Stock.

The shares of New Common Stock will be subject to dilution on account of the New Management Incentive Plan provided for in the Plan.
In addition to $200.00 million of the New Notes and 79.04% of the New Common Stock, holders of Allowed Noteholder Claims will receive a Cash payment equal to all unpaid interest accrued at the non-default rate on the Old Notes through the Effective Date.

D.
THE VOTING PROCESS

Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, only holders of allowed claims or equity interests in classes of claims or equity interests that are impaired and that are not deemed to have rejected a plan of reorganization are entitled to vote to accept or reject a proposed plan. Generally, a claim or equity interest is impaired under a plan if the holder’s legal, equitable or contractual rights are altered under such plan. Classes of claims or equity interests under a chapter 11 plan in which the holders of such claims or equity interests are unimpaired under a chapter 11 plan are deemed to have accepted the plan and are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the plan. In addition, classes of claims or equity interests under a chapter 11 plan in which the holders of such claims or equity interests are not entitled to receive or retain any property under such plan (although they may nevertheless be receiving a de minimis distribution assuming acceptance of the plan by senior voting classes) may be deemed to have rejected the plan and are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the plan. In connection with the Plan, therefore:
Claims in Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 are Unimpaired. As a result, holders of Claims in those Classes are deemed to have accepted the Plan and are not entitled to vote on the Plan.
Claims and Interests in Classes 5 and 6 (together, the “ Voting Classes ”) are Impaired and the holders of such Claims and Interests, which are deemed Allowed by the Plan, will receive distributions under the Plan. As a result, holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 5 and 6 are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, subject to the requirement that they hold their Claims or Interests as of the voting record date established by the Bankruptcy Court, as discussed below.
Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in Class 7, although potentially receiving a de minimis distribution under the Plan to which they would not be entitled without acceptance of the Plan by Classes 5 and 6, are deemed to have rejected the Plan, and the votes of such holders will not be solicited.

Holders of Allowed Interests in Class 8 are not entitled to and will not receive or retain any property under the Plan, are deemed to have rejected the Plan, and the votes of such holders will not be solicited.
    
The Bankruptcy Court has established 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [________] , 2014 (the “ Voting Record Date ”) as the time and date for determining which holders of Claims and Interests in the Voting Classes are entitled to receive a copy of this Disclosure Statement and to vote to accept or reject the Plan. ONLY HOLDERS OF CLAIMS IN CLASS 5 AND INTERESTS IN CLASS 6 AS OF THE VOTING RECORD DATE ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN.
The Debtor has retained Logan & Company, Inc. to, among other things, act as its voting agent (the “ Voting Agent ”). Specifically, the Voting Agent will assist the Debtor with: (a) mailing this Disclosure Statement and ballot materials, (b) soliciting votes on the Plan, (c) receiving, tabulating and reporting on ballots cast for or against the Plan, (d) responding to inquiries from creditors and stockholders relating to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the ballots and matters related thereto, including, without limitation, the procedures and requirements for voting to accept or reject the Plan and objecting to the Plan, (e) if necessary, contacting eligible voters regarding the Plan and their ballots, and (f) mailing notices required by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or order of the Bankruptcy Court.
YOUR VOTE ON THE PLAN IS IMPORTANT. The Bankruptcy Code defines “acceptance” of a plan by a class of claims as acceptance by creditors in that class that hold at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of the allowed claims that actually vote for acceptance or rejection of the plan (the “ Requisite Claim Acceptances ”). The foregoing applies to Class 5, containing Noteholder Claims. The Bankruptcy Code defines “acceptance” of a plan by a class of interests as acceptance by the holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount of the allowed interests of such Class that have timely and properly





voted to accept or reject the Plan (the “ Requisite Interest Acceptances ” and together with the Requisite Claim Acceptances, the “ Requisite Acceptances ). The foregoing applies to Class 6, containing Preferred Stock Interests/Claims.
If one of the Voting Classes rejects the Plan, the Debtor, subject to the consent of (a) the Majority Consenting Noteholders and (b) the Preferred Stockholders (solely with respect to any terms of the Plan that affect the rights of such Preferred Stockholders), reserves the right to amend the Plan and, if necessary, resolicit votes, abandon the Plan and pursue another plan of reorganization, or request confirmation of the Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b). Section 1129(b) permits the confirmation of a plan of reorganization notwithstanding the non-acceptance of a plan by one or more impaired classes of claims or equity interests, so long as at least one impaired class of claims votes to accept such plan. Under that section, a plan may be confirmed by a bankruptcy court if it does not “discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to each non-accepting class, as more particularly described in Part VIII.I. of this Disclosure Statement The Debtor, subject to the consent of (a) the Majority Consenting Noteholders and (b) the Preferred Stockholders (solely with respect to any terms of the Plan that affect the rights of such Preferred Stockholders), reserves the right to alter, amend, or modify the Plan or any exhibit in accordance with the provisions of the Plan including, without limitation, Section 10.12 of the Plan, if determined necessary to satisfy the requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b).

B.
THE DEBTOR’S CORPORATE HISTORY

In October 1992, Congress established a uranium enrichment corporation through the Energy Policy Act of 1992. This government corporation began operations in mid-1993 under the name United States Enrichment Corporation. In April 1996, the USEC Privatization Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2297h, was signed into law, permitting this government corporation to be converted into a privately owned company of the same name.





In June 1998, the Debtor USEC Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of acting as the parent company of the privately owned Enrichment Corp. At the same time, Enrichment Corp was incorporated in Delaware as a private company. In July 1998, USEC Inc. completed an initial public offering of 100,000,000 shares of its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange and began trading under the symbol USU.
Upon its privatization, the U.S. government transferred the business of the government corporation to Enrichment Corp, with the exception of certain liabilities from prior operations of the U.S. government. Enrichment Corp continued as a uranium enrichment corporation, operating gaseous diffusion plants leased from the DOE near Portsmouth, Ohio (the “ Portsmouth Plant ”) and Paducah, Kentucky (the “ Paducah Plant ”), from which it produced LEU, and obtained additional LEU supply through its role under the Megatons to Megawatts non-proliferation agreement between the United States and Russia. Enrichment ceased at the Portsmouth Plant in 2001 and at the Paducah Plant in May 2013.
The Company began exploring a move from gaseous diffusion technology to gas centrifuge technology in 2002. The DOE invested in research and development of the gas centrifuge technology in the 1960’s through the 1980’s as an alternative to gaseous diffusion. Gaseous diffusion technology is over 60 years old and requires substantial amounts of energy to produce LEU. With the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant, there are no major enrichment suppliers that continue to utilize this technology to enrich uranium commercially. All of Enrichment Corp’s competitors have deployed more modern gas centrifuge technology to produce LEU. Gas centrifuge technology uses approximately 95% less energy than gaseous diffusion to produce the same quantity of LEU.
In connection with the effort to deploy gas centrifuge technology in September 2008, the Debtor created AC Holdings to wholly own AC Enrichment, AC Operating and AC Technology. Later, in August 2010, AC Holdings created AC Manufacturing, 55% of which is owned by AC Holdings, with the remaining 45% owned by Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group, Inc. In May 2012, AC Holdings created AC Demonstration. The AC Subsidiaries were created to carry out commercial activities related to the development of gas centrifuge technology (the “ American Centrifuge Project ”) and the financing, construction and deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant.
C.
OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

The Company is a heavily-regulated global energy company that supplies LEU for commercial nuclear power plants. LEU is a critical component in the production of nuclear fuel for reactors to produce electricity. Currently operating through Enrichment Corp, the Company is a leading supplier of LEU to domestic and international commercial nuclear power plants.
Enrichment Corp is currently the Company’s sole generator of revenue, supporting its own business and financial obligations, as well as providing intercompany funding through intercompany loans to the Debtor. The Debtor uses the intercompany funding to help pay its own financial obligations and those of the AC Subsidiaries.
Enrichment Corp has two major business operations. Its primary business focus is on supplying LEU, including uranium and enrichment components, to commercial customers. Enrichment Corp’s secondary business is providing contract services at the Paducah site. Enrichment Corp ceased enrichment at the Paducah Plant at the end of May 2013, and is in the process of de-leasing the Paducah Plant and returning it to the DOE. The Company expects that upon such return, it will no longer provide contract services to the DOE at Paducah. Enrichment Corp ceased enrichment at the Portsmouth Plant in 2001, and through September 2011 it performed contract services business for the DOE as the decontamination and decommissioning contractor for the site. This transition represented the bulk of Enrichment Corp’s contract services work during recent years. Enrichment Corp continues to perform limited contract services work for the DOE at the Portsmouth site, related to the lease of certain facilities related to the American Centrifuge Plant located at the Piketon, Ohio facility. After the transition of the Portsmouth Plant was completed, revenue from the contract services segment declined substantially.

2.
LEU Business Segment

(a)
LEU Business Overview
Through Enrichment Corp, the Company’s primary business focus has been on supplying LEU to nuclear power plant owners. LEU consists of two components: separative work units (“ SWU ”) and uranium. SWU is a standard unit of measurement that represents the effort required to transform a given amount of natural uranium into two components, enriched uranium and depleted uranium. Enriched uranium has a higher percentage of U 235 isotopes than depleted uranium. The SWU contained in LEU is calculated using an industry standard formula based on the physics of enrichment. The amount of enrichment deemed to be contained in LEU under this formula is commonly referred to as its “SWU component” and the quantity of natural uranium deemed to be used in the production of LEU under this formula is referred to as its “uranium component.” Revenue from the LEU segment is derived primarily from: (i) sales of the SWU component of LEU, (ii) sales of both the SWU and uranium components of LEU, and (iii) sales of uranium.
(b)
LEU Customers
The majority of Enrichment Corp’s customers are domestic and international utilities that own or operate nuclear power plants, with international sales constituting 17% of revenue from the LEU business in 2012 and 22% in 2013. In 2013, the ten largest customers in this segment represented 69% of total revenues, and the three largest customers represented 37% of total revenues. Agreements with electric utilities are primarily long-term, fixed-commitment contracts under which customers are obligated to purchase a specified quantity of SWU from Enrichment Corp or long-term requirements contracts under which customers are obligated to purchase a fixed percentage of the SWU requirements for specific groups of reactors from Enrichment Corp. Under requirements contracts, a customer only makes purchases when the specified reactors have requirements for additional fuel. Enrichment Corp also sells natural uranium directly to utilities, generally pursuant to shorter-term, fixed-commitment contracts.
Backlog is the estimated aggregate dollar amount of SWU and uranium sales that the Company expects to earn as revenue in future periods under existing contracts with customers. As of December 31, 2013, backlog was estimated to be $3.3 billion, including $0.4 billion expected to be delivered in 2014. Backlog was $4.5 billion at December 31, 2012, and $5.8 billion at December 31, 2011. Due to the current supply/demand imbalance in the market, and the transition in sources of enrichment from production at the Paducah Plant, Enrichment Corp has not been able to achieve sufficient new sales to offset reductions in backlog resulting from deliveries in recent years. Backlog is based on certain estimates, which are subject to change. Backlog also includes contracts that must be modified to reflect the current state of supply sources during the transition of supply sources. In addition, the backlog is subject to various risks, including the mix of origins of LEU delivered, the credit quality of certain customers, and contracts in which customers have certain termination rights based on milestones related to financing and deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant. Approximately 30% of the backlog is estimated to be at risk due to milestones related to financing and deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant.
In the future, the Company expects to enter into long-term contracts for production from the American Centrifuge Plant to support the financing of the American Centrifuge Plant, which would increase the long term backlog.
(c)
LEU Supply
Historically, Enrichment Corp has produced or acquired LEU from two principal sources. About half of the LEU supply was acquired from Russia, pursuant to the Megatons to Megawatts non-proliferation agreement between the United States and Russia. Under this program, Enrichment Corp was party to a contract (the “ Russian Contract ”) under which it purchased the SWU





component of LEU derived from dismantled nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union for conversion into fuel for commercial nuclear power plants. Enrichment Corp completed the highly-successful 20-year Megatons to Megawatts program at the end of 2013. In 2011, Enrichment Corp entered into a contract (the “ Russian Supply Agreement ”) to maintain access to Russian LEU supplies following the completion of the Russian Contract. However, the amount of LEU that Enrichment Corp will obtain under the Russian Supply Agreement is substantially lower than the amount it historically obtained under the Russian Contract, thereby reducing Enrichment Corp’s overall supply of LEU. The Russian Supply Agreement runs through 2022. The other half of Enrichment Corp’s LEU supply was produced at the Paducah Plant, which ceased enrichment at the end of May 2013.
(i)
Megatons to Megawatts
At the end of 2013, Enrichment Corp completed the highly successful Megatons to Megawatts program, which had provided half of Enrichment Corp’s LEU supply in recent years. Under the Megatons to Megawatts program, Enrichment Corp was the U.S. government’s exclusive executive agent (“ Executive Agent ”) in connection with a nonproliferation agreement between the United States and the Russian Federation. In January 1994, Enrichment Corp signed the Russian Contract with a Russian government entity known as OAO Techsnabexport (“ TENEX ”) to implement the program. The Russian Contract was completed at the end of 2013. Over the life of the Russian Contract, approximately 92 million SWU contained in LEU derived from 500 metric tons of highly enriched uranium was purchased, the equivalent of about 20,000 nuclear warheads.
(ii)
Russian Supply Agreement
In 2011, Enrichment Corp entered into the Russian Supply Agreement to maintain access to Russian LEU supplies following the completion of the Megatons to Megawatts program and the Russian Contract, and to assist in the transition of the LEU business from the Paducah Plant to the American Centrifuge Plant. Under the terms of the Russian Supply Agreement, the supply of LEU to Enrichment Corp began in 2013 and will increase until it reaches a level in 2015 that includes a quantity of SWU equal to approximately one-half the level supplied by TENEX to Enrichment Corp under the Megatons to Megawatts program. Beginning in 2015, TENEX and Enrichment Corp also may mutually agree to increase the purchases and sales of SWU by certain additional optional quantities of SWU up to the amount Enrichment Corp purchased each year under the Megatons to Megawatts program. The Russian Supply Agreement runs through 2022.
The LEU obtained under the Russian Supply Agreement is subject to quotas and other restrictions applicable to commercial Russian LEU that did not apply to LEU supplied under the Megatons to Megawatts program, which could adversely affect Enrichment Corp’s ability to sell the commercial Russian LEU purchased under the new agreement. Under the terms of the Russian Supply Agreement, Enrichment Corp may use a portion of the quota established under U.S. law for importation of Russian LEU in the United States for consumption by U.S. utilities, but this quota is less than the amount of Russian LEU that it is obligated to purchase. Enrichment Corp has been in discussions with the Department of Commerce regarding a potential modification to the quotas to increase the ability to import and deliver Russian LEU to U.S. fabricators for processing and re-export on behalf of foreign customers. If the quotas for importing Russian LEU are not modified with respect to either (i) the sale to U.S. utilities for consumption in the United States or (ii) the sale to foreign utilities for processing in the United States at U.S. fabricators and re-export, most of the LEU supplied to Enrichment Corp by TENEX under the new agreement will have to be supplied to foreign customers for fabrication into fuel outside the United States. This constraint would adversely affect Enrichment Corp’s ability to market the Russian LEU.
Prior to deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant, the Russian Supply Agreement will be the Company’s only source of additional LEU supply to supplement its existing inventory, absent arrangements to purchase LEU from other sources.
Enrichment Corp and TENEX have agreed to conduct a feasibility study to explore the possible deployment of an enrichment plant in the United States employing Russian centrifuge technology. Any decision to proceed with such a project would depend on the results of the feasibility study and would be subject to further agreement between the parties and their respective governments.
(iii)
Paducah Plant
At the end of May 2013, Enrichment Corp ceased enrichment at the Paducah Plant and began the process of transitioning the Paducah Plant to the DOE for decontamination and decommissioning. Although the Paducah Plant had been running at peak efficiency in recent years, the operations could not overcome the inherent costs of the substantial amount of electricity required by the gaseous diffusion technology. Enrichment Corp’s competitors have all shifted to lower-cost centrifuge enrichment operations and the oversupply of LEU in the market made continued commercial enrichment at the Paducah Plant unsustainable.
Enrichment Corp leases the Paducah Plant and related facilities from the DOE. The site is one of the largest industrial facilities in the world. When the Paducah Plant was operational, its estimated maximum economic capacity was about eight million SWU per year. Enrichment Corp is currently working with the DOE to de-lease the Paducah Plant. After cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant, Enrichment Corp continues to lease certain areas that are used for ongoing operations, such as





shipping and handling, inventory management and site services. In addition to these activities, Enrichment Corp has completed the repackaging of its inventory of LEU and uranium and is transferring such inventory to off-site locations for future deliveries to customers with existing orders. Enrichment Corp is currently in discussions with the DOE regarding the timing of the de-lease, and is seeking to minimize transition costs, which could be substantial. Enrichment Corp expects to complete the return of the Paducah Plant to the DOE in 2014. Under the lease, the DOE is obligated to decontaminate and decommission the Paducah Plant.
(iv)
Provisions of 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement Relating to Paducah Plant
On June 17, 2002, the Debtor and the DOE signed an agreement in which both parties made long-term commitments directed at resolving issues related to the stability and security of the domestic uranium enrichment industry (such agreement, as amended, the “ 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement ”). The Debtor and the DOE have entered into subsequent agreements relating to these commitments and have amended the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, most recently in 2012. Under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, the Debtor agreed that the Paducah Plant would be operated at a production rate at or above 3.5 million SWU per year until six months prior to commercial operation of the American Centrifuge Plant. Since May 2013, the Debtor has not performed enrichment at the Paducah Plant. As a consequence, the DOE has the right to waive Enrichment Corp’s exclusive rights to lease the Paducah Plant and to transition operation of the plant from Enrichment Corp to ensure the continuity of domestic enrichment operations and the fulfillment of supply contracts. The DOE has not exercised any rights under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement and been engaging with the Company in a process to de-lease the Paducah Plant. If the de-lease does not occur consensually, the DOE could seek to exercise its remedies under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement to take possession of the Paducah Plant.
3.
Contract Business Segment
Enrichment Corp performs limited contract work for the DOE and the DOE contractors at the Paducah Plant and the site of the former Portsmouth Plant. The contract work at the Paducah Plant principally relates to providing security and infrastructure support at the site. With respect to the Portsmouth Plant, the majority of Enrichment Corp’s revenues from contract work related to contracts with the DOE to prepare the Portsmouth Plant for decontamination and decommissioning. On September 30, 2011, these contracts expired and Enrichment Corp completed the transition of facilities at the Portsmouth site to a new DOE contractor. Enrichment Corp continues to provide limited services to the DOE and its contractors at the Portsmouth site with respect to facilities that are leased for the American Centrifuge Plant. However, revenues from the contract services segment have decreased significantly due to these events.
Moreover, payment for contract work is subject to DOE funding availability, congressional appropriations, the DOE’s timeliness in approving Enrichment Corp’s provisional billing rates, and the outcome of the DOE’s reviews and audits. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes gross receivables from DOE or DOE contractors for contract services work totaling $98.4 million as of December 31, 2013. Of the $98.4 million, $80.8 million represents certified claims submitted to DOE through December 31, 2013. Enrichment Corp has submitted the following certified claims to the DOE contracting officer under the Contract Disputes Act (“ CDA ”) for payment.

American Centrifuge Project
While the Company, through Enrichment Corp, had been using (until it ceased enrichment at the end of May 2013) older gaseous diffusion technology to enrich uranium, it has been working through the Debtor and the AC Subsidiaries to deploy updated gas centrifuge technology to replace its gaseous diffusion operations with the new American Centrifuge Plant. Centrifuge technology requires 95% less electricity than gaseous diffusion technology to produce the same quantity of LEU. The new centrifuge facility is intended to provide a long-term competitive source of uranium enrichment. The Debtor began construction on the American Centrifuge Plant in May 2007 after being issued a construction and operating license by the NRC. However,





construction activities were significantly demobilized in 2009 and are only expected to be remobilized after financing for the deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant is in place.
Although the economics of the American Centrifuge Project are severely challenged under current enrichment market conditions, the Debtor continues to believe that the deployment of the American Centrifuge Project represents its clearest path to a long-term, direct source of domestic enrichment production, and therefore the long-term viability of the LEU business. The Debtor believes that a restructuring could improve the likelihood of success in the deployment of the American Centrifuge Project.
(a)
Provisions of 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement Relating to American Centrifuge Project
The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement requires the Company to develop, demonstrate and deploy advanced enrichment technology in accordance with milestones and provides for remedies in the event of a failure to meet a milestone under certain circumstances. On June 12, 2012, the Debtor and the DOE entered into an amendment (the “ 2002 Agreement Amendment ”) to the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement. The 2002 Agreement Amendment added two new milestones and revised the remaining four milestones under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement relating to the financing and operation of the American Centrifuge Plant. These milestone dates were not intended to be representative of the Debtor’s view of an updated schedule for deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant but were a result of negotiations with the DOE. The milestones remaining as of the Petition Date include the following:
May 2014 - Successful completion of the American Centrifuge Cascade Demonstration Test Program
June 2014 - Commitment to proceed with commercial operation
November 2014 - Secure firm financing commitment(s) for the construction of the commercial American Centrifuge Plant with an annual capacity of approximately 3.5 million SWU per year
July 2017 - Begin commercial American Centrifuge Plant operations
September 2018 - Commercial American Centrifuge Plant annual capacity at 1 million SWU per year
September 2020 - Commercial American Centrifuge Plant annual capacity of approximately 3.5 million SWU per year
The 2002 Agreement Amendment provides that the Debtor will submit a revised plan to DOE covering the milestones after November 2014 on or before the date it submits a notice of commitment to proceed with commercial operations, and the parties will discuss adjustment of these remaining milestones as appropriate based on this revised plan.
The DOE has full remedies under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement if the Debtor fails to meet a milestone that would materially impact its ability to begin commercial operations of the American Centrifuge Plant on schedule and such delay was within the Debtor’s control or was due to its fault or negligence. These remedies include terminating the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, revoking the Debtor’s access to the DOE’s U.S. centrifuge technology that is required for the success of the American Centrifuge Project and requiring the Debtor to transfer certain of its rights in the American Centrifuge technology and facilities to the DOE, and requiring the Debtor to reimburse the DOE for certain costs associated with the American Centrifuge Project. As part of the 2002 Agreement Amendment, the Debtor granted to the DOE an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to use or permit third parties on behalf of the DOE to use all centrifuge technology intellectual property (“ Centrifuge IP ”) royalty free for U.S. government purposes (which includes completion of the cascade demonstration test program and national defense purposes, including providing nuclear material to operate commercial nuclear power reactors for tritium production). The Debtor also granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to the DOE to use such Centrifuge IP developed at the Debtor’s expense for commercial purposes (including a right to sublicense), which may be exercised only if the Debtor misses any of the milestones under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement or if the Debtor (or an affiliate or entity acting through the Debtor) is no longer willing or able to proceed with, or has determined to abandon or has constructively abandoned, the commercial deployment of the centrifuge technology. Such commercial purposes licenses are subject to payment of an agreed upon royalty rate to the Debtor, which shall not exceed $665 million in the aggregate.
(b)
Financing for the American Centrifuge Project
As of December 31, 2013, spending by the Debtor related to the American Centrifuge Project totaled approximately $2.5 billion. Significant additional financing is needed to commercially deploy the American Centrifuge Plant. However, in order to successfully raise this capital, the Debtor needs to develop and validate a viable business plan that supports loan repayment and provides potential investors with an attractive return on investment based on the project’s risk profile. The Debtor has experienced cost pressures due to delays in deployment of the project, which have been driven in part from significant unfavorable changes in the SWU market described below.
The Debtor has been pursuing a loan guarantee under the DOE Loan Guarantee Program, which was established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, in order to obtain the funding needed to complete the American Centrifuge Project. In July 2008, USEC applied under the DOE Loan Guarantee Program for $2 billion in U.S. government guaranteed debt financing for the American Centrifuge Project. Instead of moving forward with a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee, in the fall of 2011,





the DOE proposed a two-year Research, Development and Demonstration program (such program, including any extension or successor program, the “ RD&D Program ”). The DOE indicated that the Debtor’s application for a DOE loan guarantee would remain pending during the RD&D Program, but has given the Debtor no assurance that a successful RD&D Program will result in a loan guarantee. In order to obtain a loan guarantee, the Debtor will need to demonstrate a viable commercialization plan that is dependent on the factors described above. Additional capital beyond the $2 billion of DOE loan guarantee funding that the Debtor has applied for, as well as the Company’s internally generated cash flow, also would be required to complete the project. The Debtor has had discussions with Japanese export credit agencies about providing financing up to $1 billion, with such potential financing predicated on the Debtor receiving a DOE loan guarantee.
In addition to the DOE loan guarantee and the Japanese export credit agency funding discussed above, the Debtor anticipates that it would need at least $1 billion of additional capital to complete the project. The amount of additional capital required would include contributions from the Debtor and would be dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of any revised cost estimate and schedule for the project, the amount of contingency or other capital the DOE would require as part of a loan guarantee, and the amount of the DOE credit subsidy cost that would be required to be paid in connection with a loan guarantee. The Debtor anticipates that under such a financing plan the potential sources for this capital could include cash generated by the project during startup, available cash flow from the operations of Enrichment Corp either loaned to the Debtor or directly invested as equity into the American Centrifuge Plant, and additional third-party capital. The Debtor expects that the additional third-party capital would be raised at the project level, including through the issuance of additional equity participation. As the Debtor’s ownership interest is reduced by these investments, the derivative interest of the holders of the New Common Stock issued under the Plan will be correspondingly reduced.
The Debtor is re-evaluating its plan and alternatives for the financing and commercialization of the American Centrifuge Project. Factors that can affect this plan and the economics of the project include key variables related to project cost, schedule, market demand and market prices for LEU, financing costs and other financing terms. An oversupply of nuclear fuel available for sale has increased over time as more than 50 reactors in Japan and Germany have been taken off-line in the aftermath of the March 2011 tsunami that caused irreparable damage to four reactors in Japan. The economics of the project are severely challenged by the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU and related downward pressure on market prices for SWU which are now at their lowest levels in more than a decade. At current market prices, the Debtor does not believe that its plans for commercialization of the American Centrifuge project are economically viable without additional government support beyond the $2 billion loan guarantee funding that the Debtor has applied for from the DOE. In addition, low prices for competing fuels, such as natural gas, in the United States could slow the deployment of new base load nuclear power capacity, and has resulted in early retirement of five nuclear plants in the United States. Based on current market conditions, the Debtor sees limited uncommitted demand for LEU relative to supply prior to the end of the decade, which could continue to adversely affect market prices. If there is a delay or reduction in the number of Japanese reactor restarts, the supply/demand imbalance and its impact on market prices and therefore project economics could worsen. The Debtor has also experienced construction cost pressures including due to delays in deployment of the project that are further impacting the project economics.
(c)
RD&D Program
On June 12, 2012, the DOE, the Debtor and non-debtor subsidiary AC Demonstration, entered into an agreement (the “ RD&D Cooperative Agreement ”) to provide cost-share funding for the RD&D Program. The RD&D Cooperative Agreement provides for 80% DOE and 20% Company cost-sharing for work performed from June 1, 2012 through the end of the RD&D Program. The RD&D Program has been extended through April 15, 2014 and will have a total estimated cost of $350 million. The DOE’s total contribution would be $280 million and the Company’s contribution would be $70 million. The RD&D Cooperative Agreement has been and will be incrementally funded, and the DOE has provided funding of $279.55 million to date. The amount of federal funding made available to date is expected to fund RD&D Program activities through April 15, 2014, and the Debtor will continue to work with Congress and the administration to further extend the RD&D Program.
The government fiscal year 2014 omnibus appropriations bill passed by Congress and signed by the President on January 17, 2014, appropriated $62 million for the RD&D Program for the government fiscal year 2014. That amount includes $29.3 million that had been previously provided under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement pursuant to the continuing resolutions that funded government operations in government fiscal year 2014 prior to the enactment of the omnibus appropriations bill and the additional $22.6 million provided under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement by DOE since passage of the bill. The omnibus appropriations bill also provides the DOE with authority to transfer up to an additional $56.65 million of funding within the DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration appropriations to fund the RD&D Program subject to further approval of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. To obtain such approvals, the Secretary of Energy must notify Congress and submit to the Appropriations Committees a cost-benefit analysis of available and prospective domestic enrichment technologies for national security needs and the scope, schedule and cost of the Secretary’s preferred option.





Also on June 12, 2012, AC Demonstration entered into another contract with the DOE agreeing to transfer to the DOE title to the centrifuge machines and equipment produced or acquired under the RD&D Program. The transferred property included some existing machines and equipment, as well as machines and equipment that will be produced or acquired under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement. The DOE will make the transferred property available for no additional fee as leased personal property under the DOE lease of the American Centrifuge Plant facilities. Upon closing of the financing for the construction of the American Centrifuge Plant, title to the transferred property will transfer back to the Company per the terms of the lease agreement. If the American Centrifuge Project is abandoned, then the DOE will keep the transferred property and would be responsible for its disposal. Furthermore, AC Demonstration has enhanced the program management and execution structure as required by the RD&D Cooperative Agreement, including a board of managers to oversee the management of the RD&D Program. The seven-person board is comprised of two independent managers, two managers appointed by AC Holdings, and one manager appointed by each of Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group, Inc., Toshiba America Nuclear Energy Corporation and Exelon Generation Company, LLC.
The Debtor and AC Demonstration achieved or exceeded all of the milestones and performance indicators that were part of the RD&D Program as of the end of 2013 on or ahead of schedule and on or under budget. The objectives of the RD&D Program are to demonstrate the centrifuge technology through the construction and operation of a commercial demonstration cascade of 120 centrifuge machines and to sustain the domestic U.S. centrifuge technical and industrial base for national security purposes and potential commercialization of the American Centrifuge technology. Additional testing relating to cascade operations is being performed in connection with the recent extension of the RD&D Program.

American Centrifuge Plant and Machinery
On May 1, 2011, AC Manufacturing was established as a joint venture company between AC Holdings (55%) and Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group, Inc. (45%) for the purpose of manufacturing and assembling AC100 centrifuge machines. AC Manufacturing consolidates the authority and accountability for centrifuge machine manufacturing and assembly in one business unit, which assumes contractual accountability over the family of centrifuge parts manufacturers.
Most of the buildings required for the American Centrifuge Plant were constructed in Piketon, Ohio during the 1980s by the DOE. These existing structures include a centrifuge assembly building, a uranium feed and withdrawal building, and two enrichment production buildings with space for approximately 11,500 centrifuges. The Debtor began renovating and building the American Centrifuge Plant following receipt of a construction and operating license from the NRC in April 2007.
Construction of the physical plant includes various systems, including electric, telecommunications, HVAC and water distribution. Other plant infrastructure must be completed, including the piping that enables UF6 gas to flow throughout the enrichment production facility, process systems to support the centrifuge machines and cascades, a distributed control system to monitor and control the enrichment processing equipment, and facilities to feed natural uranium into the process system and withdraw enriched uranium product. The Debtor demobilized most construction activities in August 2009 due to project funding uncertainty. In 2012, the Debtor resumed construction in one process building to replace legacy systems with new plant systems and infrastructure and to install an operating commercial cascade required for the RD&D Program.
The Debtor is required to provide financial assurance to the NRC for the decontamination and decommissioning of the American Centrifuge Plant and to comply with lease turnover requirements. As of December 31, 2013, the Debtor has provided financial assurance to the NRC and the DOE in the form of surety bonds totaling $29.4 million. The surety bonds are fully collateralized with interest-earning cash deposits. Financial assurance provided for the American Centrifuge Plant increased $6.4 million in 2013 related to construction of centrifuge machines as part of the RD&D program. If construction of the American Centrifuge Plant is resumed, the financial assurance requirements will increase each year commensurate with the status of facility construction and operations.
The DOE has licensed U.S. gas centrifuge technology to the Debtor for use in building new domestic uranium enrichment capacity. The Debtor or its assignee will pay royalties to the U.S. government on annual revenues from sales of LEU produced in the American Centrifuge Plant. The royalty will range from 1% to 2% of annual gross revenue from these sales and provide for a minimum payment of $100,000 per year. Payments are capped at $100 million over the life of the technology license.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulation

The Company’s operations are subject to regulation by the NRC.
Enrichment holds a certificate of compliance from the NRC with respect to the Paducah Plant. The NRC has extended the certificate of compliance, which would have expired in December 2013, indefinitely due to the pending termination of the certificate upon the de-lease of the facilities to the DOE. The certificate of compliance represents the NRC’s determination that





the Paducah Plant is in compliance with NRC safety, safeguards and security regulations. The NRC has the authority to issue notices of violation for violations of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, NRC regulations, and conditions of licenses, certificates of compliance, or orders. The NRC has the authority to impose civil penalties for certain violations of its regulations. Enrichment Corp has received notices of violation from the NRC for violations of these regulations and certificate conditions. However, in each case, Enrichment Corp took corrective action to bring the facilities into compliance with NRC regulations. None of the proposed notices of violation are expected to have a material adverse effect on Enrichment Corp’s financial position or results of operation.
The NRC regulates the construction and operation of the American Centrifuge Plant. In April 2007, the NRC issued the Debtor a license to construct and operate the American Centrifuge Plant, and the Debtor began construction in May 2007. Effective February 8, 2013, this license was transferred to AC Operating. It is for a term of 30 years and includes authorization to enrich uranium to a U 235 assay of up to 10%. This license is based on a plant designed with an initial annual production capacity of 3.8 million SWU.
The NRC has also issued a license for the operation of the lead cascade. On May 20, 2011, the Debtor submitted a request to the NRC to extend this operating license, which was scheduled to expire on August 23, 2011. On July 15, 2011, the NRC concluded that the application was complete, but deferred conducting a review of the application. Under applicable law, the license will not expire pending the NRC's review of a complete application. Effective February 8, 2013, the license for the lead cascade was also transferred to AC Operating.
The Company’s operations requires that it maintain security clearances that are overseen by the NRC and DOE. These security clearances could be suspended or revoked if the Company is determined by the NRC to be subject to foreign ownership, control or influence. In addition, statute and NRC regulations prohibit the NRC from issuing any license or certificate for the Paducah Plant and the American Centrifuge Plant if it determines that the Company is owned, controlled or dominated by an alien, a foreign corporation, or a foreign government.
Under the NRC’s regulations, a direct or indirect transfer of control of a certificate or license holder requires advance written consent of the NRC. Because of the nature of the restructuring transactions contemplated by the Plan, including the cancellation of USEC Common Stock and the issuance of New Common Stock, the Debtor contacted the NRC by letter on June 27, 2013, requesting a determination as to whether the restructuring would be viewed as a direct or indirect transfer of control. On July 31, 2013, the NRC notified the Debtor that so long as the restructuring was consistent with the representations made by the Debtor, it would not be viewed as a direct or indirect transfer of control requiring advance written consent from the NRC. The Debtor believes that the terms of the Plan are consistent with the representations made to the NRC and, therefore, that the advance written consent from the NRC is not required.
6.
Environmental Compliance

The Company’s operations are subject to various federal, state and local requirements regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
Enrichment Corp’s operations generated low-level radioactive waste that is stored on-site at the Paducah Plant or was shipped off-site for disposal at commercial facilities. In addition, Enrichment Corp’s operations generated hazardous waste and mixed waste (i.e., waste having both a radioactive and hazardous component), most of which is shipped off-site for treatment and disposal.
Enrichment Corp’s operations also generated depleted uranium that is stored at the Paducah Plant. Depleted uranium is a result of the uranium enrichment process where the concentration of the U 235 isotope in depleted uranium is less than the concentration of .711% found in natural uranium. Enrichment Corp was previously liable for disposal costs for this depleted uranium. All liabilities arising out of the disposal of depleted uranium generated before July 28, 1998 are direct liabilities of the DOE. During 2012, the DOE provided funding for the RD&D program by accepting title to Enrichment Corp’s balance of depleted uranium and Enrichment Corp did not incur disposal costs for depleted uranium produced in its last year of operation. Accordingly, Enrichment Corp has no disposal liability for depleted uranium.
The Paducah Plant was operated by agencies of the U.S. government for approximately 40 years prior to July 28, 1998. As a result of such operation, there is contamination and other potential environmental liabilities associated with the Paducah Plant. The Paducah Plant has been designated as a Superfund site under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (“ CERCLA ”) and is undergoing investigations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Environmental liabilities associated with plant operations prior to July 28, 1998 are the responsibility of the U.S.





government. The USEC Privatization Act and the lease for the plant provide that the DOE remains responsible for decontamination and decommissioning of the Paducah site.
As sublessee of the DOE lease for the American Centrifuge Plant, AC Operating will be responsible for the decontamination and decommissioning of the American Centrifuge Plant. Enrichment Corp will also remain obligated as the lessee. Under the NRC construction and operating license, AC Operating is required to post surety bonds for these disposal costs. All surety bonds required to date have been posted.
7.
Competitors

The global uranium enrichment industry is highly competitive, and the Company has three major competitors: (i) Urenco, a consortium of companies owned or controlled by the British and Dutch governments and by two German utilities, (ii) a multinational consortium controlled by Areva, a company approximately 90% owned by the French government and (iii) the Russian government’s State Atomic Energy Corporation (“ Rosatom ”), which sells LEU through TENEX, a Russian government owned entity. Urenco and Areva own a joint venture called the Enrichment Technology Company (“ ETC ”), which develops and manufactures centrifuge machines for both owners.
China is emerging as a growing producer and has begun to supply limited quantities of LEU to foreign markets. China has existing centrifuge production capacity that it purchased from Russia and is also deploying its own centrifuge enrichment technology, which could be used for China's domestic needs or to export for sale in foreign markets. Depending on the rate of their development of centrifuge technology or other expansion and their plans for this supply, this could be a source of significant long-term competition.
All competitors currently use gas centrifuge technology. Gaseous diffusion plants generally have significantly higher operating costs than gas centrifuge plants due to the significant amounts of electric power required by the gaseous diffusion process. Areva closed its gaseous diffusion plant and now operates a centrifuge enrichment plant. Urenco and Rosatom also use centrifuge technology. Global LEU suppliers compete primarily in terms of price and secondarily on reliability of supply and customer service.
The enrichment industry market is estimated to be about 50 million SWU per year. Prior to ceasing enrichment at the Paducah GDP, Enrichment Corp sold approximately 10 to 12 million SWU per year, of which approximately 5.5 million SWU per year was obtained by us under the Russian Contract.
Urenco reported installed capacity at its European and U.S. enrichment facilities of 17.6 million SWU per year at the end of 2013. Urenco’s announced plans call for total capacity of 18 million SWU per year by the end of 2015.
Areva’s new gas centrifuge enrichment plant in France began commercial operations in 2011 and reached installed capacity of 5.4 million SWU per year at the end of 2013. Areva expects full capacity of 7.5 million SWU per year by 2016. Areva announced in 2010 that it had received a conditional commitment for a DOE loan guarantee to build its proposed Eagle Rock centrifuge uranium enrichment plant near Idaho Falls, Idaho. In December 2011, Areva suspended plans for the Eagle Rock plant as part of an announced strategic overhaul to reduce Areva’s overall debt. While the project has been put on hold, Areva did not exclude the possibility that the Eagle Rock project could proceed under new partnerships. Furthermore, under the new strategic plan, Areva has suspended any planned capacity expansions for its existing gas centrifuge plant beyond the currently-projected 7.5 million SWU.
Rosatom/TENEX also uses centrifuge technology. The World Nuclear Association (“ WNA ”) estimates Russian production capacity, excluding a portion of Russian capacity estimated to have been used for downblending highly enriched uranium, to be approximately 23 million SWU per year. The downblending program ended in 2013 and that portion of Russian capacity is now available to produce SWU for sale into the market. WNA estimates Russian capacity of approximately 30-35 million SWU by 2020.
All of the Company’s current competitors are owned or controlled, in whole or in part, by foreign governments. These competitors may make business decisions in both domestic and international markets that are influenced by political or economic policy considerations rather than exclusively by commercial considerations.
In addition, GE Hitachi Global Laser Enrichment (“ GLE ”) has an agreement with Silex Systems Limited, an Australian company, to license Silex’s laser enrichment technology. The Company funded research and development of the Silex technology for several years but terminated the arrangement in April 2003 to focus on the American Centrifuge Project. Since 2008, GLE has pursued a phased development process with the goal of constructing a commercial enrichment plant in Wilmington, North





Carolina with a target capacity of between 3 and 6 million SWU per year. The NRC issued GLE a license in September 2012. GLE is operating a test loop facility to determine performance and reliability data, which could be used to make a decision on whether or not to proceed with the construction of a commercial plant. GLE officials have said in published reports that such a decision will come after years of further testing is completed, regulatory approval is achieved, and analysis of market conditions is finalized. In addition, GLE has expressed an interest in deploying enrichment capacity at the site of the Paducah Plant after Enrichment Corp returns the facilities to the DOE. In November 2013, the DOE announced that it planned to enter into discussions with GLE regarding deploying Silex technology at the Paducah site.
In addition to enrichment, LEU may be produced by downblending government stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. Governments control the timing and availability of highly enriched uranium released for this purpose, and the release of this material to the market may destabilize market conditions. In the past, Enrichment Corp has been the primary supplier of downblended highly enriched uranium made available by the U.S. and Russian governments. To the extent LEU from downblended highly enriched uranium is released into the market in future years for sale by others, these quantities would represent a source of competition.
LEU that Enrichment Corp supplies to foreign customers is exported under the terms of international agreements governing nuclear cooperation between the United States and the country of destination or other entities such as the European Union or the International Atomic Energy Agency. For example, exports to countries comprising the European Union take place within the framework of an agreement for cooperation (the “ Euratom Agreement ”) between the United States and the European Atomic Energy Community, which, among other things, permits LEU to be exported from the United States to the European Union for as long as the Euratom Agreement is in effect. The Euratom Agreement also provides that nuclear equipment and material imported from Euratom countries to the U.S. cannot be used by the United States for defense purposes. This limitation applies to centrifuges from Urenco and Areva, but does not apply to enrichment equipment produced in the United States using U.S. technology, such as the American Centrifuge Project technology.

Current Executive Management
Set forth below is information regarding the Debtor’s current executive officers (the “ Senior Management Team ”).

3.
Employees

The Company as a whole has approximately 1,323 employees, which are employed by the Debtor, by Enrichment Corp or by AC Operating.
The Debtor’s workforce consists of approximately 505 employees, all of whom are permanent, salaried employees. These employees perform services at the Debtor’s headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, its government relations offices located in Washington, D.C., or its American Centrifuge Plant-related sites in Piketon, Ohio or Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Debtor also augments its workforce with approximately 60 temporary and contract workers, most of whom work at the site in Oak Ridge.
Pursuant to a petition filed by the United Steelworkers (“ USW ”) Local 689 with the National Labor Relations Board (“ NLRB ”) to represent approximately 73 of the Debtor’s hourly employees at the American Centrifuge Plant site in Piketon, Ohio, an election was held under the supervision of the NLRB on February 14 and 15, 2013. In that election, a majority of voting eligible workers voted to be represented by the USW. The Debtor has begun negotiation with the USW for the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, and those negotiations are ongoing.
4.
Employee Compensation and Benefit Matters

The Debtor strives to provide its employees with a competitive package of compensation and benefits. Under the Plan, with certain exceptions provided therein, all of the Debtor’s employee-related programs, plans, policies, and agreements will be assumed and continued.
(a)
Compensation
Compensation generally includes base salary, with provision for holiday, vacation, personal and sick pay, and certain cash incentive awards for eligible employees based upon company and individual performance.
(i)
Base Salary
Base salaries for employees have been determined based on each employee’s individual performance, level of pay relative to the market, internal pay equity, and the compensation level required to retain the employee. Base salaries are intended to be competitive within the marketplace. The Debtor’s philosophy has been that total compensation should be weighted less towards fixed compensation and more towards variable performance-based compensation. The Debtor would expect to continue this practice of emphasizing variable compensation opportunities that stress performance over fixed compensation, subject to the concurrence of the New Board.
(ii)
Quarterly Incentive Awards
Beginning in 2012, the Debtor terminated a three-year performance based cash incentive program under the Debtor’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and suspended an annual cash incentive award and various long term equity incentive awards. The value, at reduced levels, from the suspended incentive programs was transferred to the quarterly incentive plan (the “ QIP ”), which is currently the only incentive program in effect for the Debtor’s employees.
The purpose of the QIP is to motivate participating employees to make extraordinary efforts to achieve short-term target goals that are crucial to the Debtor. Awards under the QIP are based on performance during a three-month period (the “ Quarterly Period ”) and paid in cash after the end of the Quarterly Period. A participant’s award for a Quarterly Period (the “ Target Award ”) is a specified dollar amount equal to the sum of his or her (a) Part A Target Award and (b) Part B Target Award. The annualized Part A Target Award represents a participant’s historical target annual incentive compensation opportunity. The annualized Part B Target Award represents a portion of a participant’s historical “long term” incentive compensation opportunity. The annualized Part A Target Award for each participant is as follows, expressed as a percentage of base salary: (a) 100% for the President/CEO; (b) 70% for Senior Vice Presidents; (c) 36% to 60% for Vice Presidents; (d) 18% to 36% for Key Managers; and (e) 5% to 20% for “Others.” The annualized Part B Target Award for each participant is as follows, expressed as a percentage of base salary: (a) 100% for the President/CEO; (b) 70% for Senior Vice Presidents; (c) 36% to 60% for Vice Presidents; (d) 18% to 36% for Key Managers; and (e) 0% to 20% for “Others.” In addition, starting in 2014, 25% of each quarterly award will be held back by the





Company with payment made either at 90-days after emergence from bankruptcy or, if the Compensation Committee determines, at the end of the year.
Under the QIP, at the beginning of each Quarterly Period, the Compensation Committee, based on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, determines one or more corporate goals for the Quarterly Period (the “ Quarterly Period Goals ”). Each Quarterly Period Goal is then given a percentage weight, with the sum of the Quarterly Period Goals totaling 100% of the participant’s Target Award for the Quarterly Period. Target Awards are earned, if at all, based on satisfaction of the Quarterly Period Goal within a Quarterly Period, as determined by the Compensation Committee. At the end of a Quarterly Period, the Chief Executive Officer will rate the participant’s performance on the following scale and make a recommendation to the Compensation Committee as to the appropriate action: (a) a rating of “goal achieved” means that the Quarterly Period Goal was achieved during the Quarterly Period and a whole or partial payout is warranted; (b) a rating of “incomplete/in process” means that the Quarterly Period Goal was not achieved within the Quarterly Period but, because the underlying objective remains important and capable of being achieved, the Compensation Committee may determine to reaffirm the Target Award opportunity, in whole or in part, for the next Quarterly Period; (c) a rating of “goal not achieved” means that the Quarterly Period Goal was not achieved during the Quarterly Period and no payout is warranted. For each Quarterly Period Goal that is satisfied, the participant will be credited with the percentage of the Target Award attributable to that Quarterly Period Goal. The Compensation Committee may exercise negative discretion to reduce the amount of any Target Award payable with respect to any Quarterly Period Goal or any Quarterly Period. In no event will any goal be paid out, whether originally or carried forward, at more than 100% of target.
(iii)
Equity Incentives
The suspended incentive programs included certain equity awards in the form of restricted stock. The Plan provides for implementation of a New Management Incentive Plan, substantially in the form included in the Plan Supplement, as of the Effective Date.
(b)
Benefits
Benefits generally include medical and dental coverage, with coverage continuation under COBRA; pre-tax contribution flexible spending accounts; basic term life, supplemental life, executive life and disability, group universal life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance; short-term and long-term disability; employee assistance; savings, retirement, pension and related types of benefits; workers’ compensation; severance; and miscellaneous other benefits provided to the employees in the ordinary course of business. Information as to certain of such benefits is provided below.
(i)
Savings Plans
The Debtor’s employees have the opportunity to participate in a defined contribution savings plan (the “ USEC Savings Program ”), which is a tax-qualified broad-based 401(k) employee savings plan. The Debtor’s employees, including executives, are able to contribute the lesser of up to 50% of their annual base salary or dollar limits established annually by the Internal Revenue Service ( $17,500 in 2013 and 2014, plus up to $5,500 in catch-up contributions for qualified individuals over age 50). The Debtor matches 200% of the first 2% of pay that is contributed to the USEC Savings Program, 100% of the next 2% of pay that is contributed to the USEC Savings Program and 50% of the next 2% of pay contributed; for a total possible match of 7% (up to a maximum match of $17,850 in 2013 and 2014) on an employee contribution of 6%. Employee contributions are fully vested upon contribution and Debtor match contributions vest 50% after two years of service and 100% after three years of service.
The Debtor also has in place for certain executives the USEC Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “ Deferred Compensation Plan ”), which is intended to be a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that complies with the regulations of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and provides benefits to management or highly compensated employees. Prior to 2013, participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan could elect to defer up to a maximum of 90% of base salary and a maximum of 100% of cash bonus amounts received through the Debtor’s incentive compensation programs. The Debtor matched participant contributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan at the rate that would apply if they had been contributed to the USEC Savings Program without regard for any statutory limitations, reduced by amounts contributed to the USEC Savings Program. The Plan was frozen to new participants and new contributions beginning on January 1, 2013 with the exception of previously elected contributions from 2012 bonuses paid in the first quarter of 2013. The Deferred Compensation Plan is managed by a rabbi trust, which held assets of $3,100,000 as of January 31, 2014, and is administered through Wells Fargo Institutional Retirement Trust. The aggregate benefit liabilities under the Deferred Compensation Plan were $2,749,485 as of January 31, 2014.
(ii)
Pension Plans
The Debtor has in place the following pension plans: (i) the Employees’ Retirement Plan of USEC Inc. (the “ Qualified Pension Plan ”), which is a broad-based, tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan whose maximum benefits are limited by legislation; (ii) the USEC Inc. Pension Restoration Plan (the “ Pension Restoration Plan ”), which is a non-qualified supplemental pension benefit that is designed to continue the accrual of pension benefits that exceed the legislated limits under the Qualified Pension Plan; and (iii) two supplemental executive retirement plans (each, a “ SERP ”).





The Qualified Pension Plan provides eligible retired employees with monthly income and is funded through a pension trust. Under the Qualified Pension Plan, participating employees may retire with an unreduced benefit: (a) at age 65 or later, regardless of service credit, (b) at age 62 or later, with at least ten years of service credit, or (c) when the participating employee’s age and years of service credit total 85 or more. In addition, employees may elect to take a reduced early retirement benefit beginning at age 50 with having ten years of service credit. Pensions under the Qualified Pension Plan are calculated under three different formulas and participating employees are entitled to receive the greatest of the three pension benefits. The “regular formula” provides a monthly benefit of 1.2% of the participating employee’s average eligible monthly earnings multiplied by his or her years and months of service credit, plus a flat amount of $110. The “alternate formula” provides a monthly benefit of 1.5% of the participating employee’s average eligible monthly earnings multiplied by his or her years and months of service credit, less 1.5% of his or her monthly primary social security benefit, multiplied by his or her years and months of service credit. The “minimum formula” provides a monthly benefit of $5.00 for each of the first ten years of service credit, plus $7.00 for each of the 11th through 20th years of service, plus $9.00 for each year in excess of 20 years of service, plus 10% of the participating Employee’s average eligible monthly earnings, plus the flat amount of $110. Employees are entitled to include bonuses in the calculation of their average eligible monthly earnings for purposes of the above formulas. As of the Petition Date, there were (a) approximately 148 current employees eligible to participate in the Qualified Pension Plan upon reaching the age of retirement, (b) approximately 53 former employees eligible to participate in the Qualified Pension Plan who had not yet reached the required retirement age necessary to begin receiving benefits thereunder and (c) approximately 122 retired employees currently receiving benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan. The Debtor’s funding obligations under the Qualified Pension Plan are monitored by the Debtor and an outside actuary and contributions are made as required. Under the Plan, the Qualified Pension Plan will be continued and all obligations with respect thereto assumed in full. The Qualified Pension Plan was previously closed to new participants and, effective August 5, 2013 the Debtor ‘froze’ service and wage accruals under the Qualified Pension Plan for all participants.
Enrichment Corp also maintains a qualified pension plan. Under ERISA, both the Debtor and Enrichment Corp are members of the “controlled group,” which renders the Debtor jointly and severally obligated to the PBGC for any liability of Enrichment Corp with respect to its pension plan, including liability under ERISA Section 4062(e), as discussed in Part VII.B.2 and VII.B.12.
The Pension Restoration Plan is a benefit provided to certain executives or highly-compensated employees selected by the Compensation Committee of the Debtor’s Board. The Pension Restoration Plan is designed to provide covered employees who participate in the Qualified Pension Plan with retirement plan benefits in excess of those provided under the Qualified Pension Plan to make up for the limitation on maximum benefits in the Qualified Pension Plan. Specifically, the benefit payable to the participating employee (or the employee’s beneficiary after the employee’s death) is equal to the difference between (a) the amount of the retirement benefit that would be payable under the Qualified Pension Plan in the form of a single life annuity beginning at the participating employee’s retirement, if Section 401 and Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code were disregarded, and using the definition of compensation provided in the Pension Restoration Plan and (b) the benefit actually payable under the Qualified Pension Plan commencing at the participating employee’s retirement in the form of a single life annuity. The Pension Restoration Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Debtor’s Board. As of the Petition Date, there were ten active participants and two terminated and vested participants in the Pension Restoration Plan and seven retired participants currently receiving benefits under the Pension Restoration Plan. Benefits under the Pension Restoration Plan are paid by the Debtor from its general assets in the form of either a lump sum or a life annuity, as elected by the applicable employee, with such payment commencing no later than 90 days following the participating employee’s termination from service. The Pension Restoration Plan was closed to new participants effective September 1, 2008, and, effective August 5, 2013, the Debtor ‘froze’ service and wage accruals under the Pension Restoration Plan. The aggregate benefit liabilities under the Pension Restoration Plan were $6,985,587 as of January 31, 2014.
The first of the Debtor’s SERPs, titled the USEC Inc. 1999 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “ 1999 SERP ”) has only one remaining active participant, with one retired participant currently receiving a monthly annuity from the plan. The 1999 SERP provides the participant with a benefit calculated in the form of a monthly annuity equal to 55% of his final average compensation commencing at the later of termination of employment or age 62, with offsets for benefits received under the retirement programs and any U.S. government retirement program to which the Debtor contributed, and Social Security benefits. The 1999 SERP was closed to new participants effective December 31, 2005. Benefit accruals continue for the sole remaining active participant, but will terminate as of the Effective Date as part of the New Management Incentive Plan. The aggregate benefit liabilities under the 1999 SERP were $3,176,426 as of January 31, 2014.
The second SERP, titled the USEC Inc. 2006 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “2006 SERP”), was designed to be less expensive than the 1999 SERP and was intended to provide benefits to management or highly compensated employees. As applicable to the Debtor’s Chief Executive Officer, the 2006 SERP incorporates the terms of a SERP agreed to with Mr. Welch in September 2005 in connection with setting his initial terms of employment. The Debtor agreed to provide Mr. Welch a benefit equal to 30% of final average pay with five years of service, increasing to 40% with seven years of service and 50% with ten or





more years of service, with offsets for benefits received under other retirement programs and Social Security benefits, commencing at the later of termination of employment or age 60. As applicable to participants other than the Chief Executive Officer, the 2006 SERP provides for a monthly supplemental retirement benefit equal to 2.5% of final average pay for each year of service, to a maximum benefit of 50% after 20 years of service, with offsets for benefits received under the Debtor’s other retirement programs and Social Security benefits, commencing at the later of termination of employment or age 55. Participation in the 2006 SERP is contingent on the participant agreeing to comply with certain restrictive covenants relating to confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation of Company employees for a period of time following his termination of employment. As of the Petition Date, the 2006 SERP had five active participants, one terminated vested participant not yet eligible to receive benefits, and no retired participants receiving benefits. The aggregate benefit liabilities under the 2006 SERP were $9,757,426 as of January 31, 2014. Benefit accruals continue for the active participants, but will terminate as of the Effective Date as part of the New Management Incentive Plan.
Although the SERP benefits represent a significant compensation cost to the Debtor, the Debtor believes they continue to provide important retentive value to executives, in particular in light of the significant unrealized compensation by the executives due to declines in the value of the Debtor’s equity. Unlike the qualified pension plans, the SERPs are unfunded obligations of the Debtor and these benefits could be lost under certain circumstances. Therefore, the Debtor believes that executives are motivated to take actions that maximize enterprise value and increase the likelihood of full payment of these unfunded SERP benefits. Under the Plan, the claims of participants are General Unsecured Claims and will be paid in full as and when due.
The Debtor also contributes to a U.S. government pension plan (Civil Service Retirement System) on behalf of two current employees who participate as a result of their status as U.S. government employees working for the government corporation prior to privatization in 1998 (the precedessor United States Enrichment Corporation) and who, upon privatization, became employees of the Debtor.
(c)
Severance Arrangements
The Debtor provides severance benefits under (i) a severance plan that applies to all permanent non-executive employees employed at the Debtor’s headquarters (the “ Employee Severance Plan ”), (ii) a severance plan that applies to certain executive employees (the “ Executive Severance Plan ”) and (iii) change in control agreements with certain executive and key employees (the “ Change in Control Agreements ”).
Under the Employee Severance Plan, participating employees may be entitled to severance benefits if they are terminated due to (a) staff reduction, (b) job elimination or (c) position restructuring. Severance pay under the Employee Severance Plan varies based on the “salary band” of the Employee at the time of termination as follows (salary bands for employees of the American Centrifuge Program differ slightly): employees in salary bands A and B may receive two weeks of base pay per year of service, with a minimum of eight weeks and a maximum of 14 weeks; employees in salary band C may receive three weeks of base pay per year of service, with a minimum of eight weeks and a maximum of 22 weeks; and employees in salary band D and E may receive three weeks of base pay per year of service, with a minimum of ten weeks and a maximum of 32 weeks for those employees in salary band D, and a minimum of 12 weeks and a maximum of 38 weeks for those employees in salary band E. The Employee Severance Plan also includes a key employee severance plan, which provides severance benefits based on a combination of service credit and organizational level, with an increased fixed number of weeks (in no case more than 52) in lieu of a cash retention incentive. Severance pay under the Employee Severance Plan is paid in one lump sum payment, less all applicable taxes and withholdings, at the time provided for in the notice of separation. In addition, eligible employees’ participation and elected coverage under certain benefits programs may continue for a period of time equal to the equivalent number of weeks of base pay that the amount of severance represents or three months, whichever is longer. As a retention incentive, a limited number of employees were provided additional weeks of severance but in no case was the total severance greater than 52 weeks. Under the Employee Severance Plan, the Debtor will pay the full premium costs associated with the employee’s participation in the benefits plans, including any premium costs traditionally paid by the Employee.
Under the Executive Severance Plan, if a participating executive employee is terminated without cause, the executive is eligible to receive: (a) a prorated share of his or her current annual (and quarterly, if applicable) incentive (payable at the end of the performance period based on actual performance) up to the date of termination; (b) a lump sum cash severance equal to two times the sum of the executive’s annual base salary and bonus (generally, the executive’s annual value of the Part A Bonus Target Award under the quarterly incentive plan for the year of termination or, if higher, the average of the three most recent annual bonuses paid to the executive prior to the termination date); and (c) continuation of medical and dental coverage as well as life insurance paid for by the Debtor for two years after termination (or until similar coverage is received from a subsequent employer, whichever occurs first), continued eligibility to participate in the Debtor’s employee assistance plan for two years, and outplacement assistance services for six months (not to exceed $15,000). As part of the provisions of the New Management Incentive Plan, an additional trigger will be added to the Executive Severance Plan, entitling a participant to such benefits if the participant terminates his or her employment for “good reason” within 12 months after the Effective Date. In addition, effective January 1, 2015, the





lump sum cash severance will be reduced from two times to one times the sum of the executive’s annual base salary and bonus award, and the continuation of benefits will be reduced from two years to one year after termination.
Under the Change in Control Agreements, signatory employees will receive certain benefits if there is a change in control and within a protected period beginning three months before and ending three years after that change in control the Debtor terminates his or her employment for any reason other than cause, or the employee terminates his or her employment for good reason. The benefits include: (a) a cash payment of unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus all other amounts earned but unpaid under any compensation or benefit plan, (b) a cash lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of annual base salary and annual value of the Part A Target Award for officers and one times base salary and bonus for other key employees, and (c) continuation of life, accident and health insurance benefits for one or two years, as applicable, following such termination of employment (or, if sooner, until the executive is covered by comparable programs of a subsequent employer). In order to receive benefits under the Change in Control Agreement, participating employees must comply with certain non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality provisions. These benefits are in lieu of any severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan. The definition of “change in control” provides that a restructuring of the Debtor’s balance sheet that is approved by a majority of the Debtor’s board of directors prior to the consummation of such restructuring transaction shall not be a change in control. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent applicable, all executory contracts or unexpired leases of the Debtor assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not be a “change in control,” however such term may be defined in the relevant executory contract or unexpired lease, and no such payment will be deemed triggered as a result thereof; any required consent under any such contract or lease shall be deemed satisfied by the Confirmation of the Plan.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PREPETITION OBLIGATIONS

1.
Obligations to Enrichment Corp

The Debtor has no customers and no source of revenue (other than certain reimbursements of costs received from the DOE under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement). Accordingly, the Debtor’s expenses are paid with funds borrowed from Enrichment Corp.
(a)
Unsecured Obligations
Historically, Enrichment Corp provided sufficient funds to the Debtor to cover the Debtor’s obligations, and recorded such transfers as intercompany payables due to Enrichment Corp. These books and records payables balances were periodically converted to non-cash dividends, with the last such dividend occurring in September 2011. With the suspension of these dividends, amounts borrowed by the Debtor from Enrichment Corp continued to be reflected as intercompany payables to Enrichment Corp but were not repaid. On May 28, 2013, the Debtor executed an unsecured demand note to reflect amounts borrowed from Enrichment Corp from February 21, 2013 through August 1, 2013, bearing an annual interest rate of 10.5%. Accrued interest was capitalized monthly. The Debtor routinely made payments against the balance of the note when reimbursements were received from the DOE under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement. In addition, the balance of the note as reduced monthly by the amount of corporate expenses incurred and paid by the Debtor which were allocated to Enrichment Corp in accordance with the Company’s budget. As of January 31, 2013, the Debtor owed Enrichment Corp approximately $202 million in intercompany payables and approximately $72 million under the unsecured demand note.
The unsecured obligations owed to Enrichment Corp are referred to under the Plan as Intercompany Claims and are treated in Class 4. Class 4 is Unimpaired and not entitled to vote on the Plan.
(b)
Secured Obligations
On August 2, 2013, the Debtor entered into a new demand note and a pledge and security agreement to secure the amounts owing under the new demand note and borrowed amounts ceased to be recorded under the unsecured demand note. At that time, the only security pledged was the Debtor’s receivable from the DOE under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement. Both the new demand note and the pledge and security agreement were amended and restated on January 24, 2014, to reflect the addition of equipment as a new class of collateral. The amended and restated demand note and the amended and restated pledge and security agreement are hereinafter referred to as the Intercompany Secured Loan.
Under the Intercompany Secured Loan, Enrichment Corp provided funds to the Debtor as and when required. Amounts outstanding under the Intercompany Secured Loan accrue interest at an annual rate of 10.5%. Accrued interest is capitalized monthly. Amounts owed under the Intercompany Secured Loan are due upon demand. No demands for repayment were made by Enrichment Corp. However, the Debtor routinely made payments against the balance when reimbursements were received from the DOE under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement. In addition, the balance under the Intercompany Secured Loan was reduced monthly by the amount of corporate expenses incurred and paid by the Debtor which were allocated to Enrichment Corp in accordance with the Company’s budget. As of the Petition Date, the amount outstanding under the Intercompany Secured Note





was approximately $56.3 million.
The obligations outstanding under the Intercompany Secured Loan are referred to in the Plan as the Secured Claims and are treated in Class 2. Class 2 is Unimpaired and not entitled to vote on the Plan.
2.
Old Note Obligations

Pursuant to that certain Indenture dated as of September 28, 2007 (the “ Old Indenture ”) between the Debtor and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as trustee (now CSC Trust Company of Delaware), the Debtor issued $575 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.0% convertible senior notes due October 1, 2014 (the “ Old Notes ”). Interest is due on the Old Notes of 3.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2008.
The Old Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of the Debtor’s unsecured debt that existed as of and after the issuance of the Old Notes. The Old Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Debtor’s subsidiaries existing on and after issuance of the Old Notes, and are effectively subordinated to secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral. The Debtor’s subsidiaries do not guarantee any of its obligations under the Old Notes.
As of the Petition Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes was approximately $530 million.
The obligations arising from the Old Notes are referred to in the Plan as Noteholder Claims and are treated in Class 5. Class 5 is Impaired and is entitled to vote on the Plan.
3.
Other Unsecured Obligations

In the ordinary course of operations, the Debtor has at any point in time commitments and obligations incurred as a result of day-to-day operations. As the Debtor’s operations are complex, obligations are incurred related to purchases of goods and services, employee wages and benefits, as well as accruals related to periodic recognition of taxes, pension liabilities (as described above) and other commitments related to the Debtor’s operations. The Debtor accrues for such obligations arising from past transactions or events, the settlement of which are expected to result in a potential future outlay of cash expenditures as set forth below. Because certain accruals are based on contingencies that may never arise, they are not reflective of the Debtor’s actual fixed obligations as of the Petition Date. See the table at Part I.C.2 for the Debtor’s estimate of fixed obligations as of the Petition Date or, in certain cases, as of the anticipated Effective Date.
Trade Obligations :
Estimates for commitments for goods and services that have been incurred or received as of the Petition Date.
$6.6 million
Compensation, Wages & Benefits :  
Estimates for expenses associated with the Debtor’s employees, benefits and employee-related programs, as well as deferred compensation described above as of the Petition Date.
$8.4 million
Property & Other Taxes :
Recognition of liabilities associated with property taxes and other tax related expenses.
$1.3 million
Pension & Retirement Benefits :
Accrued obligations and projected benefit obligations associated with the various savings and pension plans described above, including the non-qualified retirement/pension plans other than deferred compensation..
$28.2 million
Asset Retirement Obligations :
Future decontamination and decommissioning requirements for the American Centrifuge Plant.
$22.6 million
Other Reserves :
 
$3.0 million
____________
 
TOTAL
 
$70.3 million
 
These obligations are General Unsecured Claims, or in certain cases Priority Tax Claims or Other Priority Claims, as defined in the Plan, and are all Unimpaired.
4.
Contingent Obligations

The Debtor is an indemnitor on certain surety bonds held by AC Operating as principal in favor of the DOE and the NRC in connection with certain obligations associated with the American Centrifuge Plant. The surety companies hold cash, deposited by the Debtor, in the approximate amount of $29.4 million. The cash fully collateralizes the liabilities under the surety bonds.





5.
Prepetition Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of the Petition Date, there are no pending lawsuits against the Debtor, except for legal proceedings relating to workers compensation claims.
F.
EQUITY INTERESTS

1.
Convertible Preferred Stock

On May 25, 2010, the Debtor entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “ SPA ”) with Toshiba and B&W. Under the SPA, Toshiba and B&W agreed to purchase, in three phases and for an aggregate amount of $200 million, shares of a newly created series of preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of a newly created series of preferred stock or class of common stock. On September 2, 2010, the first closing of $75.0 million occurred under the SPA, with Toshiba and B&W collectively purchasing 75,000 shares of Series B-1 12.75% convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 6.25 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. However, the remaining two phases of the investment were conditioned upon, among other things, the Debtor’s progress in obtaining a loan guarantee from the DOE and so no additional investment was made prior to the Petition Date. Although Toshiba and B&W had a right to terminate the SPA, resulting either in conversion of the preferred stock to common stock or sale of the common stock, that right was not exercised prior to the Petition Date.
The estimated fair value of the preferred stock at issuance was $75.0 million using a discount rate of 12.75%, and was equal to the liquidation value of $1,000 per share or $75.0 million. The preferred stock has a current balance of $113.9 million, which includes additional shares of preferred stock totaling $38.9 million representing dividends paid-in-kind either issued or payable. The preferred stock is classified as a liability in the Debtor’s financial statements since it is convertible for a variable number of shares of common stock based on a fixed monetary value known at the issuance date.
Under the Plan, the preferred stock and warrants held by Toshiba and B&W is referred to as the USEC Preferred Stock Interests and is treated in Class 7. The USEC Preferred Stock Interests are Impaired by the Plan and the holders are entitled to vote on the Plan.
2.
Common Stock

As of December 31, 2013, the Debtor had approximately 4,948,135 shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 30,000 beneficial holders of common stock.
The Debtor’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) under the symbol “USU”. On May 8, 2012, the Debtor received a notice from the NYSE that the average closing price of its common stock was below the NYSE’s continued listing criteria relating to minimum share price. The Debtor received shareholder approval for a reverse stock split at its annual meeting of stockholders held on June 27, 2013, to regain compliance with the minimum share price condition. On April 30, 2013, the Debtor received notice from the NYSE that the decline in USEC’s total market capitalization caused it to be out of compliance with another of the NYSE’s continued listing standards. On June 14, 2013, consistent with applicable NYSE rules, the Debtor submitted a plan advising the NYSE of definitive action it has taken, or is taking, that would bring it into conformity with the market capitalization listing standards within 18 months of receipt of the letter. The NYSE accepted the plan and, through the Petition Date, the Debtor’s common stock continued to be listed on the NYSE but was subject to the compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards and continued periodic review by the NYSE of the Debtor’s progress with respect to its plan.
The common stock has a closing trading price as of the close of business on the day preceding the Petition Date of $5.56. No dividends have been paid on the Debtor’s common stock since December 16, 2005.
Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor had in effect a tax benefit preservation plan intended to help preserve the value of certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses and net unrealized built-in losses. Holders of the Debtor’s common stock received preferred stock purchase rights that traded together with common stock but were not immediately exercisable. In the event of certain acquisitions of the Debtor’s securities, the preferred stock purchase rights (other than those rights held by the acquirer) would separate from the common stock and become exercisable for common stock or other securities or assets having a market value equal to twice the exercise price of the right. The tax benefit preservation plan was terminated before the Petition Date, and as a result the preferred stock purchase rights, which had not been triggered, were cancelled.





Under the Plan, the common stock is referred to as the USEC Common Stock Interests and is treated in Class 9. The USEC Common Stock Interests are Impaired by the Plan and the holders are deemed to reject the Plan without voting.

HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION; ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. [Consolidated financial information regarding the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 is available in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of USEC Inc. filed with the SEC for such period.] 3 Consolidated financial information for the prior year ended December 31, 2012 is also available in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of USEC Inc. filed with the SEC for such period, and information for each subsequent fiscal quarter thereafter is available in the applicable Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These reports may be accessed on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on the Company’s website at www.usec.com .
3 This assumes that the 10-K will be filed before the Disclosure Statement is approved.
The Company’s website ( www.usec.com ) provides additional information about the Company, including, without limitation, all periodic filings made with the SEC, recent press releases, corporate governance practices and guidelines, and charters for the committees of the Board. The Reorganized Debtor expects that it will continue to maintain its status as a reporting company and will register the New Common Stock under the Exchange Act. In addition, subject to meeting applicable listing standards, the Reorganized will use commercially reasonable efforts to list the New Common Stock for trading on a national securities exchange as soon as practicable following the Effective Date.
H.
REASON FOR CHAPTER 11 FILING

Through the Plan, the Chapter 11 Case is intended to address the October 2014 maturity of the Old Notes, strengthen the Debtor’s balance sheet, enhance its ability to sponsor the American Centrifuge Project and improve its long-term business prospects. To remain a competitive supplier of enriched uranium, the Debtor has long recognized the need to modernize its production technology and has been working since 2002 to transition to more efficient advanced gas centrifuge technology through the American Centrifuge Project. The Debtor obtained a license to build a centrifuge plant from the NRC in 2007 and immediately began construction. As part of its effort to obtain funding for construction, the Debtor raised capital in September 2007 in the form of convertible debt (the Old Notes) and a secondary issuance of common equity (part of the USEC Common Stock.) Net proceeds from these offerings were applied to the development, demonstration and deployment of the American Centrifuge Project and to the Debtor’s general operating expenses and working capital requirements. In addition, in 2008, the Debtor applied for a $2 billion loan guarantee for the American Centrifuge Project under the DOE Loan Guarantee Program. The Debtor has spent $2.5 billion to date toward the development, demonstration and deployment of the American Centrifuge technology, but needs additional capital of at least $4 billion to construct the American Centrifuge Plant. The Debtor’s DOE loan guarantee application remains pending, the American Centrifuge Plant has not yet been built and the Debtor does not have the anticipated cash flow from plant production available to repay the Old Notes at their maturity in October 2014.
Despite program delays, the Debtor continues to work to deploy the innovative American Centrifuge technology. DOE has supported this effort through its 80% cost share funding for the RD&D Program since June 2012. The RD&D Program continues into 2014 and has been highly successful to date as all program milestones have been met. The Debtor intends to continue to pursue financing for the American Centrifuge Plant including a DOE loan guarantee but the DOE has given the Company no assurance that a successful RD&D Program will result in a loan guarantee.
To improve its ability to be a sponsor for deploying the American Centrifuge technology on a commercial basis, the Debtor must strengthen its balance sheet by addressing the $530 million obligation related to maturing Old Notes as well as the $113.9 million obligation related to the USEC Preferred Stock held by its strategic partners in the project, Toshiba and B&W. Through negotiations with the Consenting Noteholders, B&W and Toshiba, the Debtor reached agreement for the balance sheet restructuring that is reflected in the Plan. The Debtor is hopeful that the balance sheet restructuring, once implemented following confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court, will improve its ability to serve as a sponsor to build the American Centrifuge Plant. However, the balance sheet restructuring must be viewed as just one necessary step in a process that may or may not successfully conclude with full deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant.
III.

EVENTS DURING THE CHAPTER 11 CASE 4  
    
As described above, on the date hereof, the Debtor commenced its Chapter 11 Case by filing a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtor continues to operate its business and manage its properties as debtor in possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 1107 and 1108.





An immediate effect of the filing of the Debtor’s bankruptcy petition is the imposition of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code which, with limited exceptions, enjoins the commencement or continuation of all collection efforts by creditors, the enforcement of Liens against property of the Debtor, and the continuation of litigation against the Debtor. The relief provides the Debtor with the “breathing room” necessary to reorganize its business and prevents creditors from obtaining an unfair recovery advantage while the Chapter 11 Case is ongoing.
4 This Part III anticipates certain events during the Chapter 11 Case, which have not occurred as of the initial date of filing but should occur prior to the date of approval of the Disclosure Statement. In particular, all references to orders obtained or authorizations granted assume that the orders are obtained or authorizations granted before the approval of the Disclosure Statement. The Debtor will update/modify this Part III in advance of approval to reflect actual events during the case.
A.
FIRST DAY ORDERS

On the first day of the Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor filed several applications and motions seeking relief by virtue of so-called “first day orders.” First day orders are intended to facilitate the transition between a debtor’s prepetition and postpetition business operations by approving certain regular business practices that may not be specifically authorized under the Bankruptcy Code or as to which the Bankruptcy Code requires prior approval by the bankruptcy court, and to help chart an administrative path that will enable a debtor to achieve its case objectives. The first day orders the Debtor [obtained] in the Chapter 11 Case, which are typical of orders entered in business reorganization cases filed on a prearranged basis, authorize, among other things:
Authorization for the Debtor to maintain its centralized cash management system, to maintain its existing bank accounts, to continue its intercompany practices, and to continue its investment practices;
Authorization for the Debtor to obtain postpetition financing in the form of the DIP Facility provided by Enrichment Corp and to apply the cash collateral of Enrichment Corp to pay down the Intercompany Secured Loan;
Authorization for the Debtor to pay compensation, benefits and expense reimbursements to its employees (with certain exceptions for insiders) and to third parties who are involved in the process of providing such compensation, benefits and expense reimbursements;
Approval of information requirements applicable to certain holders of the Old Notes and notice and hearing procedures applicable to acquisitions of the Old Notes for regulatory purposes;
Authorization for the Debtor to pay prepetition taxes and governmental fees, if any;
Authorization for the Debtor to pay prepetition obligations owing under its insurance policies, if any;
Approval of the Debtor’s proposal to provide adequate assurance of future payment to utility companies and establish procedures under which utilities may challenge or seek additional adequate assurance;
Authorization to retain a claims and noticing agent; and
Scheduling a hearing on the Disclosure Statement and authorizing the use of a combined notice of the case commencement and such hearing.

B.
OTHER INITIAL ORDERS

The Debtor filed several other initial applications and motions on notice, seeking administrative relief relating to professionals, and [obtained] orders granting (i) authorization for the Debtor to retain and pay ordinary course professionals without separate retention and fee applications; (ii) authorization for the Debtor to retain chapter 11 professionals, including counsel, investment bankers, restructuring consultants, auditors, tax advisors and administrative advisors; and (iii) approval of the procedures by which court-approved chapter 11 professionals may obtain interim compensation and reimbursement pending the filing of interim and final fee applications.
In addition, pursuant to other motions filed on notice, the Debtor [obtained], inter alia , orders (i) authorizing the assumption of the Plan Support Agreements and payments required thereunder; (ii) authorizing the rejection of certain executory contracts relating to the Debtor’s prepetition stock; (iii) extending the period for filing the reports required by Bankruptcy Rule 2015-3; and (iv) approving the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement, approving solicitation procedures to govern voting on the Plan, approving the form and substance of various notices relating to the Plan, scheduling a hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan, and establishing a special bar date for 510(b) Claims.





C.
REPRESENTATION OF THE DEBTOR

The Debtor has been [authorized] to retain and employ certain Professionals to represent it and assist it in connection with the Chapter 11 Case. These Professionals include, among others: (i) Latham & Watkins LLP to serve as co-counsel to the Debtor; (ii) Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A. to serve as co-counsel to the Debtor; (iii) Vinson & Elkins LLP to serve as special counsel with respect to financing matters; (iv) Lazard Frères & Co. LLC to serve as investment banker; (v) AP Services, LLP to provide interim management services (including making John R. Castellano available to serve as Chief Restructuring Officer of the Debtor); (vi) PricewaterhouseCoopers to serve as auditors; (vii) Deloitte Tax LLP to serve as tax advisors; (viii) KPMG LLP to serve as fresh start accountants; and (ix) Logan & Company, Inc. to serve as administrative advisor.
D.
DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION FINANCING / CASH COLLATERAL
 
The Debtor [obtained] authorization to obtain up to $50 million in financing from Enrichment Corp on a secured, superpriority basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement. The Debtor was also [authorized] to apply the cash collateral of Enrichment Corp, in the form of prepetition receivables from the DOE under the RD&D Program, to pay down the Intercompany Secured Loan of Enrichment Corp.
E.
ASSUMPTION or REJECTION OF CONTRACTS AND lEASES

The Plan provides for the assumption as of the Effective Date of all executory contracts and unexpired leases that are not (i) previously assumed or rejected upon motion by a Final Order, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to their own terms, (iii) the subject of any pending motion, including to assume, to assume on modified terms, to reject or to make any other disposition filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) subsequently rejected in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2(c) of the Plan. As of the date hereof, the Debtor has filed one motion to assume relating to the Plan Support Agreements. The Debtor intends to rely on the Plan’s provision for assumption of other contracts and leases in lieu of filing additional motions to assume. The Debtor does not currently contemplate filing any motions to reject, but reserves the right to do so.
F.
CLAIMS PROCESS

Because of the nature of the Plan, the Debtor has not sought to establish a general bar date for filing Proofs of Claim or Proofs of Interest. Certain holders of Claims or Interests may nevertheless elect to file Proofs of Claim or Proofs of Interests, and the Debtor reserves the right to object to any such Proofs of Claim or Proofs of Interest in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Although there is no general bar date, the following specific bar dates are in effect: (i) Rejection Damages Claim must be asserted against the Debtor in a Proof of Claim that is filed with the Claims Agent on or before the date that is the first Business Day that is 30 days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of an order authorizing the rejection; and (ii) 510(b) Claims must be asserted against the Debtor in a Proof of Claim received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [________], 2014 by the Claims Agent.
G.
PLAN PROCESS

The Debtor filed the Plan and proposed Disclosure Statement on the Petition Date, as agreed to in the Plan Support Agreements, and filed a motion requesting an immediate hearing on the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement. The Bankruptcy Court held the hearing on the Disclosure Statement on [________], 2014. Following the hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dated [________], 2014, approving the adequacy of this Disclosure Statement and the procedures for soliciting votes on the Plan from the Voting Classes and providing notice of the Plan to other holders of Claims and Interests. In addition, the Bankruptcy Court’s order established the Voting Deadline as [________], 2014 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, set the deadline for filing objections to the Plan at [________], 2014 at [__:__] [a./p.]m. Eastern Time, and scheduled the Confirmation Hearing for [________], 2014 at [__:__] [a./p.]m. Eastern Time.
Assuming that (i) such deadlines and dates remain in place and are not extended, (ii) the Requisite Acceptances are obtained from the Voting Classes, and (iii) the Bankruptcy Court determines to approve and enters an order confirming the Plan, the Debtor anticipates that the Effective Date of the Plan will occur shortly after [________], 2014, at which time the Debtor will formally emerge from Chapter 11.
IV.

THE PLAN

THIS PART IV IS INTENDED ONLY TO PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE PLAN AND IS QUALIFIED BY REFERENCE TO THE ENTIRE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND THE PLAN AND





SHOULD NOT BE RELIED ON FOR A COMPREHENSIVE DISCUSSION OF THE PLAN. TO THE EXTENT THERE ARE ANY INCONSISTENCIES OR CONFLICTS BETWEEN THIS PART IV AND THE PLAN, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE PLAN WILL CONTROL AND GOVERN.
A.
OVERALL STRUCTURE OF PLAN

Chapter 11 is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. Under Chapter 11, a debtor is authorized to reorganize its business for the benefit of its creditors and, if there is any value in the equity, its shareholders. Upon the filing of a petition for relief under Chapter 11, Bankruptcy Code Section 362 provides for an automatic stay of substantially all acts and proceedings against the debtor and its property, including all attempts to collect claims or enforce liens that arose prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case.
The consummation of a plan of reorganization is the principal objective of a chapter 11 case. A plan of reorganization sets forth the means for satisfying claims against and interests in a debtor. Confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court makes the plan binding upon the debtor, any issuer of securities under the plan, any person acquiring property under the plan, and any creditor of, or equity security holder in, the debtor, whether or not such creditor or equity security holder (i) is impaired under or has accepted the plan or (ii) receives or retains any property under the plan. Subject to certain limited exceptions, and other than as provided in the plan itself or the confirmation order, the confirmation order discharges the debtor from any debt that arose prior to the date of confirmation of the plan and substitutes for such debt the obligations specified under the confirmed plan, and terminates all rights and interests of equity security holders.
Under the Plan, Claims against and Interests in the Debtor are divided into Classes according to their relative seniority and other criteria. If the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and consummated, (i) the Claims and Interests in certain Classes will receive a negotiated, partial recovery, (ii) the Claims in certain Classes will be reinstated or receive treatment required by the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) the Claims and Interests in certain other Classes will receive either a nominal recovery or no recovery on such Claims or Interests. On the Effective Date and at certain times thereafter, the Disbursing Agent will distribute Cash, New Common Stock and New Notes, in respect of certain Classes of Claims and Interests as provided in the Plan. The Classes of Claims against and Interests in the Debtor created under the Plan, the treatment of those Classes under the Plan, and the other property to be distributed under the Plan, are described below.
The Plan is premised upon the following: (i) the valuation of the Debtor reflects the fact that there remains insufficient value to provide the Noteholder Claims with a full recovery and, thus, under the Bankruptcy Code’s absolute priority rule, no junior class of Claims or Interests is entitled to any recovery; (ii) notwithstanding the fact that application of the absolute priority rule would not entitle any junior class to a recovery, the holders of the Preferred Stock Interests/Claims, Toshiba and B&W, are important strategic partners of the Debtor on a postpetition basis and, thus, the Plan provides for a negotiated recovery to the holders of Preferred Stock Interests/Claims, and (iii) as an accommodation, but subject to acceptance of the Plan by the Classes of Noteholder Claims and Preferred Stock Interests/Claims, the Plan provides a de minimis recovery for the holders of Common Stock Interests/Claims.
B.
REORGANIZED CAPITAL STRUCTURE CREATED BY PLAN

The Plan sets forth the capital structure for the Reorganized Debtor upon their emergence from Chapter 11, which is summarized as follows:
Exit Facility. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will obtain new secured intercompany financing from Enrichment Corp as provided under the secured demand note and pledge and security agreement to be entered into by the Reorganized Debtor as a condition to consummation of the Plan, to provide funds necessary to make payments required under the Plan, as well as funds for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Debtor. The documents evidencing the Exit Facility will be substantially in the forms included in the Plan Supplement and their material terms are summarized in Appendix B to this Disclosure Statement.
New Notes. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will issue the New Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $240.38 million, which will be subordinate to certain designated indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtor, including the Exit Facility, as set forth in the New Indenture, and have the terms set forth in the New Indenture included in the Plan Supplement. The New Notes will have the benefit of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty, which is that certain guarantee of the New Notes to be provided by Enrichment Corp substantially in the form set forth in the New Indenture, which guaranty will be (i) subordinated, limited and conditional to the extent provided therein and (ii) secured to the extent provided in the Subsidiary Security Agreement. The New Notes include the Majority New Notes (in the amount of $200.00 million) and the Minority New Notes (in the amount of $40.38 million). The





material provisions of the New Notes, the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement are summarized in Appendix B to this Disclosure Statement and the effectuating documents for each are included in the Plan Supplement.
New Common Stock. The Reorganized Debtor will issue New Common Stock on the Effective Date to be allocated among the holders of Allowed Noteholder Claims, Allowed Preferred Stock Interests/Claims and, if Class 5 and Class 6 votes to accept the Plan, Allowed Common Stock Interests/Claims, and will reserve shares of New Common for disposition in accordance with the New Management Incentive Plan. With respect to the allocation of the New Common Stock, the holders of Allowed Noteholder Claims will be entitled to receive 79.04% of the New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, the holders of Allowed Preferred Stock Interests/Claims will be entitled to receive 15.96% of the New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan and the holders of Allowed Common Stock Interests/Claims will be entitled to receive 5% of the New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan if Class 5 and Class 6 votes to accept the Plan, in each case subject to dilution by shares, if any, distributed to participants in the New Management Incentive Plan. The USEC Common Stock, the USEC Preferred Stock and any Unexercised Common Stock Rights will be cancelled. The material provisions of the New Common Stock and the New Management Incentive Plan are summarized in Appendix B to this Disclosure Statement and the effectuating documents for each are included in the Plan Supplement.
C.
CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
Bankruptcy Code Section 1122 provides that a plan of reorganization must classify the claims and interests of a debtor’s creditors and equity interest holders. In accordance with Bankruptcy Code Section 1122, the Plan divides Claims and Interests into Classes and sets forth the treatment for each Class (other than Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, which, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1123(a)(1), need not be classified). The Debtor is also required, under Bankruptcy Code Section 1122, to classify Claims against and Interests in the Debtor into Classes that contain Claims and Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims and Interests in such Class. The Debtor believes that the Plan has classified all Claims and Interests in compliance with the provisions of Bankruptcy Code Section 1122 and applicable case law.
The classification of Claims and Interests and the nature of distributions to members of each Class are summarized below. The Debtor believes that the consideration, if any, provided under the Plan to holders of Claims and Interests reflects an appropriate resolution of their Claims and Interests as agreed to in the Plan Support Agreements, taking into account the differing nature and priority of such Claims and Interests and the fair value of the Debtor’s assets. In view of the deemed rejection by Classes 7 and 8, however, as set forth below, the Debtor will seek confirmation of the Plan pursuant to the “cramdown” provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b) permits confirmation of a chapter 11 plan in certain circumstances even if the plan has not been accepted by all impaired classes of claims and interests. Although the Debtor believes that the Plan can be confirmed under Section 1129(b), there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will find that the requirements to do so have been satisfied.
1.
Treatment Of Unclassified Claims Under The Plan

(a)
Administrative Claims
An Administrative Claim is defined in the Plan as a Claim for payment of an administrative expense of a kind specified in Bankruptcy Code Sections 503(b) or 1114(e)(2) and entitled to priority pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(2), including, but not limited to, (i) the actual, necessary costs and expenses of preserving the Estate and operating the business of the Debtor, after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, (ii) Professional Fee Claims, (iii) Substantial Contribution Claims, (iv) all fees and charges assessed against the Estate under Section 1930 of Title 28 of the United States Code, and (v) Cure payments for contracts and leases that are assumed under Bankruptcy Code Section 365.
Under the Plan, except as otherwise provided for in Section 10.1 of the Plan, on the applicable Distribution Date, the holder of each such Allowed Administrative Claim will receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Administrative Claim, (A) Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Administrative Claim or (B) such different treatment as to which such holder and the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will have agreed upon in writing; provided , however , that Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Case will be paid in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any agreements relating thereto.
The Plan provides that all final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims and Substantial Contribution Claims must be filed and served on the Reorganized Debtor, its counsel and other necessary parties in interest no later than 60 days after the Effective Date, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Objections to such requests for payment must be filed and





served on the Reorganized Debtor, its counsel and the requesting Professional or other entity no later than 20 days (or such longer period as may be allowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court) after the date on which the applicable request for payment was served.
Administrative Claims will include the (i) reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Consenting Noteholders and fees and expenses of each of the Consenting Noteholder Advisors in accordance with the terms of their respective engagement letters; without the need for any of the Consenting Noteholders or either of the Consenting Noteholder Advisors to file an application or otherwise seek Bankruptcy Court approval for such payment; (ii) reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Preferred Stockholders and fees and expenses of each of the Preferred Stockholder Advisors in accordance with the terms of the respective Plan Support Agreement with each Preferred Stockholder; without the need for any of the Preferred Stockholders or any of the Preferred Stockholder Advisors to file an application or otherwise seek Bankruptcy Court approval for such payment; and (iii) reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Indenture Trustee and its advisors, in accordance with the terms of the Old Indenture, without the need for the Indenture Trustee or its advisors to file an application or otherwise seek Bankruptcy Court approval of such payment.
ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS ARE NOT CLASSIFIED AND ARE TREATED AS REQUIRED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH CLAIMS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN.
(b)
DIP Facility Claim
Pursuant to the Plan, a DIP Facility Claim is a Claim existing under the $50 million postpetition debtor in possession credit facility provided to the Debtor by Enrichment Corp, subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court.
The DIP Facility Claim will be deemed Allowed in its entirety for all purposes of the Plan and the Chapter 11 Case. The holder of the Allowed DIP Facility Claim will receive, on the later of the Distribution Date or the date on which such DIP Facility Claim becomes payable pursuant to any agreement between such holder and the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed DIP Facility Claim, (i) payment of such Allowed Claim in Cash or (ii) such different treatment as to which such holder and the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will have agreed upon in writing.
THE DIP FACILITY CLAIM IS NOT CLASSIFIED AND IS TREATED AS REQUIRED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. THE HOLDER OF SUCH CLAIM IS NOT ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN.
(c)
Priority Tax Claims
The Plan defines Priority Tax Claims as Claims entitled to priority pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8). Such Claims include Claims of governmental units for taxes owed by the Debtor that are entitled to a certain priority in payment pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8). The taxes entitled to priority are (i) taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts that meet the requirements set forth in Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8)(A), (ii) property taxes meeting the requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8)(B), (iii) taxes that were required to be collected or withheld by the Debtor and for which the Debtor is liable in any capacity as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8)(C), (iv) employment taxes on wages, salaries, or commissions that are entitled to priority pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(4) to the extent that such taxes also meet the requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8)(D), (v) excise taxes of the kind specified in Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8)(E), (vi) customs duties arising out of the importation of merchandise that meet the requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8)(F), and (vii) prepetition penalties relating to any of the foregoing taxes to the extent such penalties are in compensation for actual pecuniary loss as provided in Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8)(G).
Under the Plan, each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim will receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, as will have been determined by the Debtor or by the Reorganized Debtor, either (i) on the applicable Distribution Date, Cash equal to the due and unpaid portion of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, (ii) treatment in a manner consistent with Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(9)(C), or (iii) such different treatment as to which such holder and the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will have agreed upon in writing.
PRIORITY TAX CLAIMS ARE NOT CLASSIFIED AND ARE TREATED AS REQUIRED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH CLAIMS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN.
2.
Treatment Of Classified Claims And Interests Under Plan

(a)
Class 1: Other Priority Claims
The Plan defines Other Priority Claims as Claims against the Debtor entitled to priority pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a) , other than a Priority Tax Claim or an Administrative Claim.





The Plan provides that on the applicable Distribution Date, each holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim will receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Other Priority Claim, either (i) Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed Other Priority Claim or (ii) such different treatment as to which such holder and the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable will have agreed upon in writing.
OTHER PRIORITY CLAIMS ARE UNIMPAIRED. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH CLAIMS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE PLAN.
(b)
Class 2: Secured Claims
A Secured Claim is a Claim (i) that is secured by a Lien on property in which the Estate has an interest, which lien is not subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise invalid under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law, or a Claim that is subject to a valid right of setoff; (ii) to the extent of the value of the holder’s interest in the Estate’s interest in such property or to the extent of the amount subject to a valid right of setoff, as applicable; and (iii) the amount of which (A) is undisputed by the Debtor or (B) if disputed by the Debtor, such dispute is settled by written agreement between the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or the Reorganized Debtor and the holder of such Claim or determined, resolved, or adjudicated by final, nonappealable order of a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction.
Under the Plan, as to all Allowed Secured Claims, on the Effective Date, the legal, equitable and contractual rights of each holder of such an Allowed Secured Claim will be Reinstated. On the applicable Distribution Date, each holder of such an Allowed Secured Claim will receive, in full satisfaction, settlement of and in exchange for, such Allowed Secured Claim, such payment on such terms as would otherwise apply to such Claim had the Chapter 11 Case not been filed, consistent with the relevant underlying documents, if any.
Notwithstanding Section 1141(c) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, all prepetition Liens on property of the Debtor held with respect to an Allowed Secured Claim will survive the Effective Date and continue in accordance with the contractual terms or statutory provisions governing such Allowed Secured Claim until such Allowed Secured Claim is satisfied, at which time such Liens will be released, will be deemed null and void, and will be unenforceable for all purposes. Nothing in the Plan will preclude the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor from challenging the validity of any alleged Lien on any asset of the Debtor or the value of the property that secures any alleged Lien.
SECURED CLAIMS ARE UNIMPAIRED. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH CLAIMS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE PLAN.
(c)
Class 3: General Unsecured Claims
Under the Plan, a General Unsecured Claim is a Claim that is not an Administrative Claim, a Priority Tax Claim, an Other Priority Claim, a Secured Claim, an Intercompany Claim, a Noteholder Claim, or any Claim that constitutes a Preferred Stock Interest/Claim or a Common Stock Interest/Claim. This definition specifically includes, without limitation, Rejection Damages Claims, if any.
The Plan provides that, on the applicable Distribution Date, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed General Unsecured Claim, either (i) Cash equal to the unpaid portion of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim or (ii) such different treatment as to which such holder and the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will have agreed upon in writing.
GENERAL UNSECURED CLAIMS ARE UNIMPAIRED. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH CLAIMS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE PLAN.
(d)
Class 4: Intercompany Claims
Under the Plan, an Intercompany Claim is any unsecured Claim arising prior to the Petition Date against the Debtor by any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries. The Non-Debtor Subsidiaries consist of Enrichment Corp, AC Holdings, AC Technology, AC Operating, AC Enrichment, AC Manufacturing and AC Demonstration. For the avoidance of doubt, any Claim arising prior to the Petition Date against the Debtor by any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries that is secured by a Lien on property in which the Estate has an interest is a Secured Claim.
Under the Plan, with respect to each Allowed Intercompany Claim, (i) the legal, equitable and contractual rights of the holder of the Intercompany Claim will be Reinstated as of the Effective Date or (ii) by agreement between the holder and the





Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders), may be adjusted, continued, expunged, or capitalized, either directly or indirectly or in whole or in part, as of the Effective Date.
INTERCOMPANY CLAIMS ARE UNIMPAIRED. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH CLAIMS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE PLAN.
(e)
Class 5: Noteholder Claims
The Plan defines a Noteholder Claim as any Claim arising or existing under or related to the Old Notes, other than any Indenture Trustee Expenses .
The Plan provides that Noteholder Claims will be deemed Allowed in their entirety for all purposes of the Plan and the Chapter 11 Case in an amount not less than $530.00 million as of the Petition Date, plus all applicable accrued and unpaid interest, fees, expenses and other amounts due under the Old Indenture, which Allowed Noteholder Claims will not be subject to any avoidance, reductions, setoff, offset, recharacterization, subordination, counterclaims, cross-claims, defenses, disallowance, impairments or any other challenges under applicable law or regulation by any entity.
Each holder of an Allowed Noteholder Claim will receive, on the Distribution Date and in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, in exchange for, and on account of such Allowed Noteholder Claim, its Pro Rata share of (i) the New Noteholder Common Stock, (ii) Cash equal to the amount of the interest accrued at the non-default rate on the Old Notes from the date of the last interest payment made by the Debtor before the Petition Date to the Effective Date and (iii) the Majority New Notes. Under the Plan, the New Noteholder Common Stock is defined as 79.04% of the New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, subject to dilution on account of the New Management Incentive Plan. The New Noteholder Common Stock will be issued in the form of Class A shares of New Common Stock as described in the New USEC Charter. The Majority New Notes are New Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $200.00 million. The New Notes, in turn, are defined as notes in the aggregate principal amount of $240.38 million, to be issued by the Reorganized Debtor under, and having the terms set forth in, the New Indenture, which new notes will have the benefit of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement.
The material provisions of the New Notes and the New Common Stock are summarized in Appendix B to this Disclosure Statement and the effectuating documents for each are included in the Plan Supplement.
All distributions on account of Allowed Noteholder Claims with be subject to the Indenture Trustee’s Charging Lien in the event of any unpaid Indenture Trustee Expenses, in accordance with the Plan.
NOTEHOLDER CLAIMS ARE IMPAIRED. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH CLAIMS ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.
The Debtor estimates a percentage recovery of approximately 39% on account of the Cash and Majority New Notes only. The recovery for the New Noteholder Common Stock is highly speculative and not quantifiable.
NOTICE OF SPECIAL BAR DATE APPLICABLE TO CURRENT AND FORMER HOLDERS OF OLD NOTES WHO MAY ALLEGE 510(b) CLAIMS AGAINST THE DEBTOR. Any Claim (i) arising from the rescission of a purchase or sale of the Old Notes, (ii) for damages arising from the purchase or sale of such a security, or (iii) for reimbursement or contribution allowed under Bankruptcy Code Section 502 on account of such a Claim (collectively, a “ 510(b) Claim ”) must be asserted against the Debtor in a Proof of Claim received no later than the Special Bar Date of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [________] , 2014, by Logan & Company, Inc., the Debtor’s court-approved claim agent, at the following address: USEC Inc. Claims Docketing Department, c/o Logan & Company, Inc., 546 Valley Road, Upper Montclair, NJ 07043. A Proof of Claim form may be obtained from the Claims Agent’s website, www.loganandco.com , under client name USEC Inc. Any such Claim that is not asserted in a Proof of Claim received by the Claims Agent before the Special Bar Date will be barred and will not be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of property from the Debtor or its successors or assigns with respect to such Claim. Any Proof of Claim received by the Claims Agent will be subject to objection by the Debtor, as the Debtor does not believe there is any basis for the allowance of any such Claims. As the Plan does not currently provide any treatment for a 510(b) Claim arising from the Old Notes, the allowance of any such Claim may require a modification to the Plan. Please note that a Proof of Claim need not be filed solely to assert a Claim for the principal and interest due on the Old Notes (such a Claim being a Noteholder Claim to be treated as described above); a Proof of Claim is required only for a 510(b) Claim as described above.
(f)
Class 6: Preferred Stock Interests/Claims
The Plan defines Preferred Stock Interests/Claims as, collectively, (i) any Interests that are based upon or arise from USEC Preferred Stock and (ii) any Claims that are based upon or arise from USEC Preferred Stock and are subordinated pursuant





to Bankruptcy Code Section 510(b). USEC Preferred Stock is any preferred equity in USEC outstanding prior to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, any stock options or other right to purchase the preferred stock of USEC, together with any warrants, conversion rights, rights of first refusal, subscriptions, commitments, agreements, or other rights to acquire or receive any preferred stock or other preferred equity ownership interests in USEC prior to the Effective Date.
The USEC Preferred Stock Interests/Claims will be deemed Allowed in their entirety for all purposes of the Plan and the Chapter 11 Case, and such Allowed USEC Preferred Stock Interests/Claims will not be subject to any avoidance, reductions, setoff, offset, recharacterization, subordination, counterclaims, cross-claims, defenses, disallowance, impairments or any other challenges under applicable law or regulation by any entity.
Each holder of an Allowed USEC Preferred Stock Interest/Claim will receive, on the Distribution Date its Pro Rata share of (i) the New Preferred Stockholder Common Stock and (ii) the Minority New Notes; and will have the benefits and obligations agreed to in the Supplementary Strategic Relationship Agreement. The New Preferred Stockholder Common Stock is equal to 15.96% of the New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, subject to dilution on account of the New Management Incentive Plan. The New Preferred Stockholder Common Stock will be issued in the form of Class B shares of New Common Stock as described in the New USEC Charter. The Minority New Notes are New Notes to be issued under the Plan in the aggregate principal amount of $40.38 million.
The material provisions of the New Notes and the New Common Stock are summarized in Appendix B to this Disclosure Statement and the effectuating documents for each are included in the Plan Supplement.
PREFERRED STOCK INTERESTS/CLAIMS ARE IMPAIRED. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH INTERESTS/CLAIMS ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.
The Debtor estimates a percentage recovery of approximately 35.1% on account of the Minority New Notes only. The recovery for the New Preferred Stockholder Common Stock is highly speculative and not quantifiable.
(g)
Class 7: Common Stock Interests/Claims
The Plan defines Common Stock Interests/Claims as (i) any Interests in the Debtor that are based upon or arise from USEC Common Stock and (ii) any Claims against the Debtor that are based upon or arise from USEC Common Stock and are subordinated pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 510(b), which will include any Claim arising from the rescission of a purchase or sale of any USEC Common Stock, any Claim for damages arising from the purchase or sale of any USEC Common Stock, or any Claim for reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification on account of any such Claim; provided, however, that a Claim arising from Indemnification Obligations that are assumed under Section 6.5 of the Plan shall not be considered a Common Stock Interest/Claim.
The Plan provides that all securities or other documents evidencing USEC Common Stock will be cancelled as of the Effective Date.
If Class 5 and Class 6 vote to accept the Plan, the holders of any such Allowed Common Stock Interests/Claims will be entitled to receive on the applicable Distribution Date, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, in exchange for, and on account of such Allowed Interest or Claim, their Pro Rata share of the New Minority Common Stock. The New Minority Common Stock is equal to 5.00% of the New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, subject to dilution on account of the New Management Incentive Plan. The Minority Common Stock will be issued in the form of Class A shares of New Common Stock as described in the New USEC Charter. The material provisions of the New Common Stock are summarized in Appendix B to this Disclosure Statement and the effectuating documents for the New Common Stock are in the Plan Supplement.
If, however, Class 5 or Class 6 votes to reject the Plan, the holders of Common Stock Interests/Claims will not receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such Interests or Claims.
The recovery for the New Minority Common Stock is highly speculative and not quantifiable.
COMMON STOCK INTERESTS/CLAIMS ARE IMPAIRED AND HOLDERS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN. But for the provisions of the Plan, and subject to acceptance of the Plan by Class 5 and Class 6, holders of Common Stock Interests/Claims would have no legal entitlement to receive or retain any property from the Debtor. Therefore, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code Section 1126(g), holders of Common Stock Interests/Claims are deemed to have rejected the Plan and are not entitled to vote on the Plan. Because no class of claims or interests junior to the class containing Common Stock Interests/Claims will receive any distribution under the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court can confirm the Plan over the deemed rejection of such class pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b).






NOTICE OF SPECIAL BAR DATE APPLICABLE TO CURRENT AND FORMER HOLDERS OF USEC COMMON STOCK WHO MAY ALLEGE 510(b) CLAIMS AGAINST THE DEBTOR. Any Claim (i) arising from the rescission of a purchase or sale of the USEC Common Stock, (ii) for damages arising from the purchase or sale of such a security, or (iii) for reimbursement or contribution allowed under Bankruptcy Code Section 502 on account of such a Claim (collectively, a “ 510(b) Claim ”) must be asserted against the Debtor in a Proof of Claim received no later than the Special Bar Date of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [________] , 2014, by Logan & Company, Inc., the Debtor’s court-approved claim agent, at the following address: USEC Inc. Claims Docketing Department, c/o Logan & Company, Inc., 546 Valley Road, Upper Montclair, NJ 07043. A Proof of Claim form may be obtained from the Claims Agent’s website, www.loganandco.com , under client name USEC Inc. Any such Claim that is not asserted in a Proof of Claim received by the Claims Agent before the Special Bar Date will be barred and will not be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of property from the Debtor or its successors or assigns with respect to such Claim. Any Proof of Claim received by the Claims Agent will be subject to objection by the Debtor, as the Debtor does not believe there is any basis for the allowance of any such Claims. Please note that a Proof of Claim need not be filed solely to assert an ownership interest in the USEC Common Stock; a Proof of Claim is required only for a 510(b) Claim as described above.
(h)
Class 8: Unexercised Common Stock Rights
The Plan defines Unexercised Common Stock Rights as any stock options or other right to purchase any USEC Common Stock, together with any warrants, conversion rights, rights of first refusal, subscriptions, commitments, agreements, or other rights to acquire or receive any such USEC Common Stock that have not been exercised prior to the Effective Date. The term specifically excludes Common Stock Interests/Claims.
The Plan provides that all Unexercised Common Stock Rights will be cancelled as of the Effective Date. No holder of Unexercised Common Stock Rights will receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such Unexercised Common Stock Rights.
UNEXERCISED COMMON STOCK RIGHTS ARE IMPAIRED. THE HOLDERS OF SUCH INTERESTS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE REJECTED THE PLAN AND WILL NOT VOTE.
3.
Requirement For Allowance Of Claims And Interests

A Claim or Interest otherwise entitled to be paid or to receive a distribution under the Plan must be an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. As defined by the Plan, Allowed means (i) when used with respect to a Claim, whether a Filed Claim or an Unfiled Claim, all or any portion of a Claim (x) as to which either (A) any dispute has been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated in favor of allowance, as the case may be, in the procedural manner in which such Claim would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced, or (B) an objection to allowance has been filed in the Bankruptcy Court by the applicable Claim Objection Deadline, and such objection has been settled or withdrawn by the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, or has been denied by a Final Order, or (y) is not otherwise Disputed or (z) has been expressly allowed in the Plan; or (ii) when used with respect to an Interest, an Interest held in the name, kind and amount set forth in the records of (x) the Debtor in the case of the USEC Preferred Stock or (y) the stock transfer agent in the case of the USEC Common Stock, provided , however , that all Allowed Claims will remain subject to all limitations set forth in the Bankruptcy Code, including, in particular, Sections 502 and 510, as applicable.
Under the Plan the term “Disputed” means (i) when used with respect to a Claim, whether a Filed Claim or an Unfiled Claim, (x) a Claim as to which (A) the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, disputes its liability in any manner that would have been available to it had the Chapter 11 Case not been commenced (including, without limitation, by declining to pay the Claim), and (B) the liability of the Debtor has not been settled by the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or by the Reorganized Debtor, or has not been determined, resolved, or adjudicated by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) as an alternative to the foregoing, a Claim as to which the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, has elected to file an objection in the Bankruptcy Court by the applicable Claim Objection Deadline and such objection has not been settled or withdrawn by the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) or by the Reorganized Debtor, or has not been determined, resolved, or adjudicated by Final Order; or (z) that has been expressly disputed in the Plan; or (ii) when used with respect to an Interest, an Interest that is in a name, kind and amount different than as set forth in the records of (x) the Debtor in the case of the USEC Preferred Stock or (y) the stock transfer agent in the case of the USEC Common Stock. The Plan provides that no distributions will be made on Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests until and unless such Disputed Claims become Allowed Claims and such Disputed Interests become Allowed Interests. The Plan further provides that no reserve will be required with respect to any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest.





The Noteholder Claims are deemed to be Allowed Claims under the Plan and the Preferred Stock Interests/Claims are deemed to be Allowed Claims and Interests, as applicable, under the Plan. No other Claims or Interests are deemed to be Allowed under the Plan and, therefore, must satisfy one of the criteria for allowance described above.
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, inter alia , with respect to Rejection Damage Claims and 510(b) Claims), there is no requirement for holders of Claims to file Proofs of Claim or Requests for Payment or for holders of Interests to file any Proofs of Interest.
Rejection Damage Claims : Rejection Damages Claims must be asserted against the Debtor in a Proof of Claim that is (i) filed with the Claims Agent on or before the date that is the first Business Day that is 30 days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of an order authorizing the rejection of a contract or lease and (ii) contemporaneously with such filing, served upon (a) if such filing occurs prior to the Effective Date, counsel to the Debtor and counsel to the Consenting Noteholders or (b) if such filing occurs after the Effective Date, counsel to the Reorganized Debtor. All rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to object to any Rejection Damages Claims are reserved.

510(b) Claims : 510(b) Claims must be asserted against the Debtor in a Proof of Claim received no later than the Special Bar Date of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [________], 2014, by the Claims Agent. Any Proof of Claim received by the Claims Agent will be subject to objection by the Debtor, as the Debtor does not believe there is any basis for the allowance of any such Claims. Please note that a Proof of Claim need not be filed solely to assert a Claim for the principal and interest due on the Old Notes or for an ownership interest in the USEC Common Stock; a Proof of Claim is required only for a 510(b) Claim.

With respect to Filed Claims or filed Proofs of Interest, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor will have the right to object to the Proofs of Claim, Requests for Payment or Proofs of Interest in the Bankruptcy Court by the Claims Objection Deadline, but will not be required to do so. The Claim Objection Deadline is the last day for filing objections to Claims in the Bankruptcy Court, which shall be the latest of (i) 60 days after the Effective Date, (ii) 60 days after the applicable Proof of Claim or Request for Payment is filed, and (iii) such other later date as is established by order of the Bankruptcy Court upon motion of the Reorganized Debtor, without notice to any party. Further, the Plan provides that in no event will the failure to object in the Bankruptcy Court to any Filed Claim or any Proof of Interest result in the deemed allowance of any such Claim or Interest. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor will have the right to dispute all alleged Claims (whether Filed Claims or Unfiled Claims) and alleged Interests (whether or evidenced by a filed Proof of Interest) in any manner that would have been available to it had the Chapter 11 Case not been filed (including, without limitation, by declining to pay any alleged Claim or to recognize any alleged Interest), or may elect in its discretion to have any alleged Claim or Interest adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court.
The Plan authorizes the Reorganized Debtor to compromise and settle various Claims without any further approval by the Bankruptcy Court.
4.
Distributions Via Disbursing Agent; Procedures For Making Distributions
As used in the Plan, the term Disbursing Agent means the Reorganized Debtor and/or any other Person(s) designated by (a) the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) on or before the Effective Date or (b) the Reorganized Debtor in its sole discretion after the Effective Date to serve as a disbursing agent under the Plan. The Plan provides that if any Disbursing Agent is an independent third party, such Disbursing Agent will receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from the Reorganized Debtor. No Disbursing Agent will be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. The Indenture Trustee will serve as the Disbursing Agent with respect to distributions to Noteholders.
The Plan additionally sets forth the procedures for making distributions thereunder. More specifically, the Plan provides that the Disbursing Agent(s) will make distributions to the holders of the Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in the same manner and to the same addresses as payments are made in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s businesses; provided, however, that if a Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest references a different payment address, the address on the Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest will be used. The Plan further provides that, if any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder will be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified by the Debtor, the Claims Agent, or such holder of such holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions will be made to such holder without interest. If any distribution is made by check and such check is not returned but remains uncashed for six months after the date of such check, the Disbursing Agent may cancel and void such check, and the distribution with respect thereto will be deemed undeliverable. If, pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Plan, any holder is requested to provide an applicable Internal Revenue Service form or to otherwise





satisfy any tax withholding requirements with respect to a distribution and such holder fails to do so within six months of the date of such request, such holder’s distribution will be deemed undeliverable.
The Plan further provides that unless otherwise agreed between the Reorganized Debtor and the applicable Disbursing Agent, amounts in respect of returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor will be returned to the Reorganized Debtor until such distributions are claimed. All claims for returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions must be made (i) on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) with respect to any distribution made later than such date, on or before six months after the date of such later distribution; after which date all undeliverable property will revert to the Reorganized Debtor free of any restrictions thereon and the claims of any holder with respect to such property will be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. In the event of a timely claim for any returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distribution, the Reorganized Debtor will deliver the applicable distribution amount or property to the Disbursing Agent for distribution pursuant to the Plan.
5.
Requirement For Distribution Record Date And Application Of Distribution Record Date
Only those holders of Claims and Interests who are holders as of the applicable Distribution Record Date established under the Plan will be entitled to receive payment or other distributions if and when their Claims are Allowed Claims. The Plan provides that:
In respect of the Noteholder Claims and any Interests, the Distribution Record Date is the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Date, at 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on such Business Day. On such Distribution Record Date, (a) for Noteholder Claims, the transfer ledgers for the Old Notes and (b) for Interests, the records of the Debtor in the case of the USEC Preferred Stock and the records of the stock transfer agent in the case of the USEC Common Stock, will be closed for purposes of determining the record holders of Claims or Interests, and there will be no further changes in the record holders of any Noteholder Claims or Interests.
In respect of all other Claims, the Distribution Record Date is the Business Day immediately following the Confirmation Date, at 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on such Business Day. On such Distribution Record Date, the Debtor’s books and records for Unfiled Claims and the claims register maintained by the Claims Agent for Filed Claims will be closed for purposes of determining the record holders of such Claims, and there will be no further changes in the record holders of any such Claims.
As to all Claims and Interests receiving a distribution under the Plan, the Plan provides that, except as provided therein, the Reorganized Debtor, the Disbursing Agent(s), the Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective agents, successors and assigns will have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims or Interests occurring after the Distribution Record Date and will be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the applicable books and records, claims registers or transfer ledgers as of 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on the Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of distributions to be made under the Plan to such Persons or the date of such distributions.
6.
Expected Delivery Date For Payments And Distributions; Prepayment

For Claims and Interests within Classes that are entitled to receive distributions, the Plan provides that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as of the applicable Distribution Date will be made on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Distribution Date, but in no event later than the first Business Day that is 20 days after such date; provided, however , that distributions on account of Noteholder Claims under the Plan will be made on the Effective Date. The Distribution Date varies between Claims and Interests and also varies based upon Allowed status. Specifically, the Plan provides the following Distribution Dates for different Claims and Interests:
For any Claim that is an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, (a) for any portion that was due prior to or on the Effective Date, the Effective Date or (b) for any portion that is due after the Effective Date, at such time as such portion becomes due in the ordinary course of business and/or in accordance with its terms.
For any Claim that is not an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, the later of (a) the date on which the Debtor becomes legally obligated to pay such Claim and (b) the date on which the Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
For any Interest that is an Allowed Interest on the Effective Date, the Effective Date.
For any Interest that is not an Allowed Interest on the Effective Date, the date on which such Interest becomes an Allowed Interest.
In all cases, a later date may be established by order of the Bankruptcy Court upon motion of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any other party. The Plan further provides, however, that the Reorganized Debtor or the Disbursing Agent will have





the right, in its discretion, to accelerate any Distribution Date occurring after the Effective Date if the facts and circumstances so warrant. The Plan further provides that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, any ancillary documents entered into in connection therewith, or the Confirmation Order, the Reorganized Debtor will have the right to prepay, without penalty, all or any portion of an Allowed Claim at any time; provided , however , that any such prepayment will not be violative of, or otherwise prejudice, the relative priorities and parities among the Classes of Claims.
7.
Distributions Subject To Tax Withholding And Reporting

In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder, the applicable Disbursing Agent will, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions thereunder will be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent(s) will be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including, without limitation, requiring that, as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, the holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest complete IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable to each holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest that is to receive a distribution pursuant to the Plan will have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution will be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Disbursing Agent to allow it to comply with its tax withholding and reporting requirements. Any property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan will, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution to be held by the Indenture Trustee or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, until such time as the Disbursing Agent is satisfied with the holder’s arrangements for any withholding tax obligations.
8.
Calculation Of Distribution Amounts Of New Securities

No fractional shares of New Securities will be issued or distributed under the Plan. Each Person entitled to receive New Securities will receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock or their pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes, whichever is relevant, to which such Person is entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of New Securities, the actual distribution of such New Securities will be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions one-half (½) or greater will be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half (½) will be rounded to the next lower whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Person is entitled to New Common Stock and rounding to the next lower whole number would result in such Person receiving zero shares of New Common Stock, such Person will receive one share of New Common Stock; and (b) if the Person is entitled to a pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes and rounding to the next lower whole number would result in such Person receiving zero dollars’ worth of New Notes, such Person will receive a New Note in the principal amount of one $1.00. If two or more Persons are entitled to fractional entitlements and the aggregate amount of New Securities that would otherwise be issued to such Persons with respect to such fractional entitlements as a result of such rounding exceeds the number of whole New Securities which remain to be allocated, the Disbursing Agent will allocate the remaining whole New Securities to such holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the Disbursing Agent deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole New Securities authorized under the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements will be cancelled and will be of no further force and effect. The Disbursing Agent will have the right to carry forward to subsequent distributions any applicable credits or debits arising from the rounding described in this paragraph.
9.
Reservation Of Rights Regarding Claims or Interests; Setoff

Except as otherwise explicitly provided in the Plan, nothing will affect the Debtor’s or the Reorganized Debtor’s rights and defenses, both legal and equitable, with respect to any Claims or Interests, including, but not limited to, all rights with respect to legal and equitable defenses to alleged rights of setoff or recoupment. With respect to setoff, the Plan provides that the Reorganized Debtor may, but will not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the holder of such Claim; provided , however , that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any such claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against such holder.





D.

The Plan further provides that such policies will be fully paid and noncancellable . If not purchased by the Debtor before the Effective Date, the Plan provides that, on or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will purchase directors and officer insurance covering the period on or after the Effective Date.
4.

The Plan further provides that the obligations of the Debtor (and the Reorganized Debtor) under any agreements, indentures, or certificates of designations governing the Old Securities and any other note, bond, or indenture evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation with respect to the Old Securities will be discharged in each case without further act or action under





any applicable agreement, law, regulation, order, or rule and without any action on the part of the Bankruptcy Court or any Person; provided , however , that the Old Notes and the Old Indenture will continue in effect solely for the purposes of (x) allowing the holders of the Old Notes to receive the distributions provided for Noteholder Claims under the Plan, (y) allowing the Disbursing Agent to make distributions on account of the Noteholder Claims, and (z) preserving the rights of the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Indenture Trustee Expenses, including, without limitation, any indemnification rights provided by the Old Indenture and the Indenture Trustee’s Charging Lien.

The New Notes will be governed by the New Indenture will be subordinated to the extent set forth therein and will have the benefit of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement. The Plan provides that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the New Notes to be represented by one or more global notes and to be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company.

7.
Limited Subsidiary Guaranty With Respect to New Notes; Participation in Plan by Enrichment Corp

Enrichment Corp has agreed to be a co-proponent and participant in the Plan for purposes of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement to accompany the New Notes. Accordingly, it has consented to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for the purpose of enforcing its agreement to execute, deliver and perform under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement. Enrichment Corp will, however, have no other obligations under the Plan.

As a co-proponent of the Plan, Enrichment Corp will be deemed to be, and the Confirmation Order will find that Enrichment Corp is, an affiliate of the Debtor participating in a joint plan with the Debtor for purposes of Bankruptcy Code Section 1145. Accordingly, the issuance by Enrichment Corp of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to the Plan to the holders of Allowed Noteholder Claims and Allowed Preferred Stock Interests/Claims will be authorized under Bankruptcy Code Section 1145 as of the Effective Date without further act or action by any Person, except as may be required by applicable law, regulation, order or rule; and all documents evidencing same will be executed and delivered as provided for in the Plan or the Plan Supplement.

E.
TREATMENT OF CONTRACTS AND LEASES

1.
Assumption Of Contracts And Leases; Cure

The Plan provides that, except as otherwise provided therein, the Confirmation Order, or the Plan Supplement, as of the Effective Date, the Debtor will be deemed to have assumed each executory contract or unexpired lease to which the Debtor is a party as of the Petition Date unless any such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected upon motion by a Final Order, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (iii) is the subject of any pending motion, including to assume, to assume on modified terms, to reject or to make any other disposition filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) is subsequently rejected in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2(c) of the Plan. The Plan further provides that the Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a) approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the Effective Date.
Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed will include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affects such contract or lease and (ii) all contracts or leases appurtenant to the subject premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
To the extent applicable, all executory contracts or unexpired leases of the Debtor assumed pursuant to the Plan will be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan will not be a “change in control,” however such term may be defined in the relevant executory contract or unexpired lease, and any required consent under any such contract or lease will be deemed satisfied by the Confirmation of the Plan.
Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default will be satisfied, under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(b)(1) by Cure. Under the Plan, the Debtor will, at its option, be permitted to resolve any dispute with respect to the amount of Cure either (i) through the Bankruptcy Court, or (ii) in the procedural manner in which a dispute regarding the amounts owed under a particular executory contract and unexpired lease would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced. If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 365) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure will occur following (y) the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the





assumption if such dispute is adjudicated in the Bankruptcy Court, or (z) as to amounts under the executory contract or unexpired lease, following final resolution of such matter if the Debtor elected to handle such dispute in the procedural manner in which it would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced. Notwithstanding any of the subsections of Section 6.2 of the Plan, the Debtor will be authorized to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to the extent the Debtor, in the exercise of its sound business judgment, concludes that the amount of the Cure obligation as determined by Final Order or as otherwise finally resolved, renders assumption of such contract or lease unfavorable to the Debtor’s Estate. In the event the Debtor so rejects any previously assumed contract or lease, and such rejection gives rise to a Rejection Damages Claim, such Rejection Damages Claim arising out of such rejection will be limited to the amount of the Allowed Rejection Damage Claim.
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Allowed Claims arising from the assumption of any contract or lease will be treated as Administrative Claims pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Plan.
2.
Compensation And Benefit Programs

The Plan defines Employee Programs to consist of all of the Debtor’s employee-related programs, plans, policies and agreements, including, without limitation, (i) all health and welfare programs, plans, policies and agreements, (ii) all pension plans within the meaning of Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (iii) all supplemental retirement and deferred compensation programs, plans, policies and agreements, (iv) all retiree benefit programs, plans, policies and agreements subject to Bankruptcy Code Sections 1114 and 1129(a)(13), (v) all employment, retention, incentive, bonus, severance, change in control, and other similar programs, plans, policies and agreements, and (vi) all other employee compensation, benefit and reimbursement programs, plans, policies and agreements, but excluding any prepetition equity incentive plans, equity ownership plans or any equity-based plans of any kind of the Debtor and in all cases subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(b) of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Plan provides that the term “Employee Programs” includes the “Quarterly Incentive Plan.”
Under the Plan, except to the extent (i) otherwise provided for in the Plan, (ii) previously assumed or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or before the Confirmation Date, (iii) the subject of a pending motion to reject filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) previously terminated, all Employee Programs in effect before the Effective Date, will be deemed to be, and will be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed under the Plan. Nothing contained therein will be deemed to modify the existing terms of Employee Programs, including, without limitation, the Debtor’s and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights of termination and amendment thereunder.
To the extent any “change in control” provision contained in any Employee Program would be triggered and payable solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, such Employee Program will not be assumed to the extent a waiver of the change in control provision is not executed by the employee having the benefit of such change in control provision, but otherwise will remain in full force and effect and may be triggered as a result of any transactions occurring after the Effective Date.
As of the Effective Date, any and all equity incentive plans, equity ownership plans, or any other equity-based plans entered into before the Effective Date, including Claims arising from any change in control provision therein, will be deemed to be, and will be treated as though they are, contracts that are rejected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan pursuant to the Confirmation Order, provided, however , that nothing contained in the Plan will impact any Cash payment components of any such equity-based plans.
Under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor further affirms and agrees that (i) it is and will continue to be the contributing sponsor of the Employees’ Retirement Plan of USEC Inc. (the “ Pension Plan ”), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “ PBGC ”) under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ ERISA ”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1301-1461, et seq; (ii) the Pension Plan is subject to minimum funding requirements of ERISA and §§ 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) no provision of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or Bankruptcy Code Section 1141, will, or will be construed to, discharge, release, or relieve the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any other party, in any capacity, from any liability with respect to the Pension Plan under any law, governmental policy, or regulatory provision; and (iv) neither the PBGC nor the Pension Plan will be enjoined from enforcing such liability as a result of the Plan’s provisions for satisfaction, release and discharge of Claims. The Debtor further affirms and agrees that any discharge of liability provided under this Plan will not operate to discharge any obligations it might have under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan maintained by Enrichment Corp, one of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, as a result of the Debtor’s status as a member of the “controlled group” for such pension plan. As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will contribute to the Pension Plan the amount necessary to satisfy minimum funding standards under sections 302 and 303 of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1082 and 1083, and Sections 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent that any such





contributions were not made during the Chapter 11 Case.
3.
Certain Indemnification Obligations

Indemnification Obligations are defined to include any obligation of the Debtor to indemnify, reimburse, or provide contribution pursuant to by-laws, articles or certificates of incorporation, contracts, or otherwise. Under the Plan, Indemnification Obligations owed to those of the Debtor’s directors, officers and employees serving prior to, on and after the Petition Date will be deemed to be, and will be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan, and such Indemnification Obligations (subject to any defenses thereto) will survive the Effective Date of the Plan and remain unaffected by the Plan, irrespective of whether obligations are owed in connection with a pre-Petition Date or post-Petition Date occurrence. Indemnification Obligations owed to Debtor’s Professionals pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327 or 328 and order of the Bankruptcy Court, whether such Indemnification Obligations relate to the period before or after the Petition Date, will be deemed to be, and will be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan.

Rejection Of Contracts And Leases; Rejection Damages Claims

The Debtor, with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders, reserves the right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, to seek to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to which the Debtor is a party and to file a motion requesting authorization for the rejection of any such contract or lease. Any executory contracts or unexpired leases that expire by their terms prior to the Effective Date will be deemed to be rejected, unless previously assumed or otherwise disposed of by the Debtor.
If the rejection by the Debtor, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of a contract or lease results in a Rejection Damages Claim, then such Rejection Damages Claim will be forever barred and will not be enforceable against the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor or the properties of either of them unless a Proof of Claim is (i) filed with the Claims Agent on or before the date that is the first Business Day that is 30 days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of an order authorizing the rejection of a contract or lease and (ii) contemporaneously with such filing, served upon (a) if such filing occurs prior to the Effective Date, counsel to the Debtor and counsel to the Consenting Noteholders or (b) if such filing occurs after the Effective Date, counsel to the Reorganized Debtor. All rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to object to any Rejection Damages Claim are reserved. The Plan provides that a Rejection Damages Claim is a Claim arising from the Debtor’s rejection of a contract or lease, which Claim will be limited in amount by any applicable provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, Bankruptcy Code Section 502, subsection 502(b)(6) thereof with respect a Claim of a lessor for damages resulting from the rejection of a lease of real property, subsection 502(b)(7) thereof with respect to a Claim of an employee for damages resulting from the rejection of an employment contract, or any other subsection thereof.
Allowed Rejection Damages Claims will be treated as General Unsecured Claims pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
5.
Extension Of Time To Assume Or Reject

The Plan provides that, notwithstanding anything set forth in Article VI of the Plan, in the event of a dispute as to whether a contract is executory or a lease is unexpired, the Debtor’s right to move to assume or reject such contract or lease will be extended until the date that is 30 days after entry of a Final Order by the Bankruptcy Court determining that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired. The deemed assumption provided for in Section 6.1(a) of the Plan will not apply to any such contract or lease, and any such contract or lease will be assumed or rejected only upon motion of the Debtor following the Bankruptcy Court’s determination that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.

RELEASES, DISCHARGE, INJUNCTIONS; EXCULPATION

1.
Releases By The Debtor

The Plan provides for certain releases to be granted by the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor and any Person seeking to exercise the rights of the Debtor’s Estate, in favor of the Debtor or any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries; any of the directors, officers and employees of the Debtor or any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries serving during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case; any Professionals of the Debtor; each of the Consenting Noteholders (but solely in its capacity as such) and the Consenting Noteholder Advisors, each of the Preferred Stockholders (but solely in its capacity as such) and the Preferred Stockholder Advisors; the DIP Facility Lender; the Indenture Trustee; the respective directors, officers, employees, members, participants, agents, representatives, partners, affiliates, counsel and other advisors of each of the foregoing parties (but only in their respective capacities on behalf of such parties); and any of the successors or assigns of any of the foregoing parties.
Specifically, the Plan provides that, as of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor and any Person seeking to exercise the rights of the Debtor’s Estate, including, without limitation, any successor to the Debtor or any Estate representative appointed or selected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1123(b)(3), will be deemed to forever release, waive and discharge all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action (including claims or causes of action arising under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code), and liabilities whatsoever (other than for fraud, willful misconduct, criminal conduct and/or gross negligence), whether direct or derivative, in connection with or related to the Debtor, the Chapter 11 Case, or the Plan (other than the rights of the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor to enforce the Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures and other agreements or documents delivered thereunder), whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that are based in whole or part on any act, omission, transaction, event, or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Chapter 11 Case, or the Plan, and that may be asserted by or on behalf of the Debtor, the Estate, or the Reorganized Debtor against (i) the Debtor or any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, (ii) any of the directors, officers and employees of the Debtor or any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries serving during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case, (iii) any Professionals of the Debtor, (iv) each of the Consenting Noteholders (but solely in its capacity as such), (v) each of the Consenting Noteholder Advisors, (vi) each of the Preferred Stockholders (but solely in its capacity as such); (vii) each of the Preferred Stockholder Advisors, (viii) the DIP Facility Lender, (ix); the Indenture Trustee, (x) the respective directors, officers, employees, members, participants, agents, representatives, partners, affiliates, counsel and other advisors of each of the parties identified in the foregoing (i) through (ix), but only in their respective capacities on behalf of such parties, and (xi) any of the successors or assigns of any of the parties identified in the foregoing (i) through (x); provided, however , that nothing in Section 10.7(a) of the Plan will operate to release any intercompany obligations or extinguish any intercompany accounts reflecting amounts owing to or from the Debtor or any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries unless otherwise provided in the Plan; and provided further , however , that nothing in Section 10.7(a) of the Plan will be deemed to prohibit the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor from asserting and enforcing any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or liabilities they may have against any of their employees, directors or officers that is based upon an alleged breach of a confidentiality, noncompete or any other contractual obligation owed to the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor.
The releases being provided by the Debtor relate to claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action (including claims or causes of action arising under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code), and liabilities held by the Debtor or that may be asserted on behalf of the Debtor (the “ Debtor Claims ”). The Debtor Claims are part of the Debtor’s estate





created pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 541 and, absent extraordinary circumstances, the Debtor has the exclusive authority to pursue or settle such claims.
Moreover, the Debtor does not believe that there are any valid Debtor Claims against any of the released parties. Any action brought to enforce a potential Debtor Claim would involve significant costs to the Debtor, including legal expenses and the distraction of the Debtor’s key personnel from the demands of the Debtor’s ongoing business. In light of these considerations, and given the contributions made by the recipients of the releases to the Debtor’s business and/or reorganization efforts, the releases of the Debtor Claims are appropriate and in the best interests of the Debtor’s estate. ]
2.
Limited Release by Directors and Officers

The Plan additionally provides for certain releases to be granted by each director and officer of the Debtor or any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries serving during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case in favor of the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor and any Person seeking to exercise the rights of the Debtor’s Estate. Specifically, the Plan provides that, as of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, each director and officer of the Debtor or any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries serving during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case will be deemed to forever release, waive and discharge all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action and liabilities whatsoever (other than for actual fraud and/or criminal conduct) against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor and any Person seeking to exercise the rights of the Debtor’s Estate, including, without limitation, any successor to the Debtor or any Estate representative appointed or selected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1123(b)(3), whether such claims are statutory, contractual, or common law claims; provided, however , that nothing in the Plan will be deemed a waiver or release of any director’s or officer’s claims or causes of action against the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor as it relates to wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses, sick pay, personal leave pay, indemnification, severance pay, or other compensation or benefits, or payments or form of remuneration of any kind, excluding payments or remuneration based in stock or equity, owing and arising out of such director’s or officer’s employment with the Debtor, whether such claims are statutory, contractual or common law claims; and provided further, however , that nothing in Section 10.7(b) of the Plan will operate to (i) prohibit, penalize, or otherwise discourage any applicable director or officer from reporting, providing testimony regarding, or otherwise communicating any nuclear safety concern, workplace safety concern, public safety concern, or concern of any sort, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, or any federal or state government agency, or (ii) prohibit any applicable director or officer from engaging in any activity protected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1514A and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Release by holders of Claims and Interests is not and will not be deemed a waiver of the Debtor’s rights or claims against the holders of Claims and Interests, including the Debtor’s rights to assert setoffs, recoupments or counterclaims or to object or assert defenses to any such Claim, and all such rights, Litigation Rights, causes of action and claims are expressly reserved, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.

If the Debtor revokes or withdraws the Plan in accordance with Section 10.14 thereof, or if Confirmation or the Effective Date does not occur, then (a) the Plan will be null and void in all respects, (b) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount certain any Claim or Class of Claims), assumption or rejection of contracts or leases effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan will be deemed null and void, and (c) nothing contained in the Plan, and no acts taken in preparation for consummation of the Plan, will (i) constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, any Debtor or any other Person, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor or any Person, including any of Enrichment Corp, the Consenting Noteholders, B&W or Toshiba, in any further proceedings involving the Debtor, or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by any Debtor or any other Person, including any of Enrichment Corp, the Consenting Noteholders, B&W or Toshiba.

ADDITIONAL PLAN PROVISIONS

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF THE PLAN IS INTENDED TO HIGHLIGHT ONLY CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO COVER EVERY PROVISION OF THE PLAN AND IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THE PLAN ITSELF. THE SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN ITSELF, WHICH PROVISIONS CONTROL IN THE EVENT OF ANY INCONSISTENCY WITH THE SUMMARY.
V.

APPLICABILITY OF FEDERAL AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS

The Debtor believes that, subject to certain exceptions described below, various provisions of the Securities Act, the Bankruptcy Code, and state securities laws exempt from federal and state securities registration requirements (a) the offer and the sale of securities pursuant to the Plan and (b) subsequent transfers of such securities.
A.
Offer And Sale Of New Securities: Bankruptcy Code Exemption

Holders of Allowed Noteholder Claims and Allowed Preferred Stock Interests/Claims will receive New Common Stock and New Notes under the Plan as well as the benefit of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty. Holders of Allowed Common Stock Interests/Claims may, under certain circumstances, receive New Common Stock under the Plan. Bankruptcy Code Section 1145(a)(1) exempts the offer or sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if three principal requirements are satisfied: (1) the securities must be issued “under a plan” of reorganization by the debtor or its successor under a plan or by an affiliate participating in a joint plan of reorganization with the debtor; (2) the recipients of the securities must hold a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for administrative expenses in the case concerning the debtor or such affiliate; and (3) the securities must be issued in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or interest in the debtor, or such affiliate, or “principally” in such exchange and “partly” for cash or property. In reliance upon this exemption, the Debtor believes that the offer and sale of the New Securities and the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty under the Plan will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws. With respect to the New Common Stock and New Notes, such New Securities clearly fall squarely under the rubric of Bankruptcy Code Section 1145(a)(1) and, thus, requires no additional explanation. As to the issuance of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty, Enrichment Corp, as noted above, has agreed to be a co-proponent and participant in the Plan for purposes of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement and has consented to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for the purpose of enforcing its agreement to execute, deliver and perform under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement. Enrichment Corp is, thus, an affiliate participating in the Debtor’s plan (as a co-proponent) for purposes of Bankruptcy Code Section 1145(a)(1).
B.
Subsequent Transfers Of New Securities

The New Securities generally may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, unless the holder is an “underwriter” (see discussion below) with respect to such securities, as that term is defined under the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, such securities generally may be resold without registration under state securities or “blue sky” laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the several states. However, recipients of securities issued under the Plan are advised to consult with their own legal advisors as to the availability of any such exemption from registration under state law in any given instance and as to any applicable requirement or conditions to such availability.





Bankruptcy Code Section 1145(b) defines the term “underwriter” for purposes of the Securities Act as one who, except with respect to “ordinary trading transactions” of an entity that is not an “issuer,” (1) purchases a claim against, interest in, or claim for an administrative expense in the case concerning the debtor, if such purchase is with a view to distributing any security received in exchange for such a claim or interest; (2) offers to sell securities offered or sold under a plan for the holders of such securities; (3) offers to buy securities offered or sold under the plan from the holders of such securities, if the offer to buy is: (a) with a view to distribution of such securities and (b) under an agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan, or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan; or (4) is an “issuer” with respect to the securities, as the term “issuer” is used in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.
Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act purports to include as statutory underwriters all persons who, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, an issuer of securities. “Control” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. Accordingly, an officer or director of a reorganized debtor (or its successor) under a plan of reorganization may be deemed to be a “control person,” particularly if such management position is coupled with the ownership of a significant percentage of the debtor’s (or successor’s) voting securities. Ownership of a significant amount of voting securities of a reorganized debtor (or its successor) could also result in a person being considered to be a “control person.”
To the extent that persons deemed to be “underwriters” receive New Common Stock or New Notes pursuant to the Plan, such New Common Stock or New Notes, as the case may be, may not be resold unless such securities were registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Entities deemed to be statutory underwriters for purposes of Bankruptcy Code Section 1145 may, however, under certain conditions, sell such securities without registration pursuant to the resale provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another available exemption under the Securities Act.
Whether or not any particular person would be deemed to be an “underwriter” with respect to the New Common Stock or New Notes to be issued pursuant to the Plan, or a “control person” of the Reorganized Debtor, would depend upon various facts and circumstances applicable to that person. Accordingly, the Debtor expresses no view as to whether any such person would be such an “underwriter” or “control person.” PERSONS WHO RECEIVE NEW COMMON STOCK AND NEW NOTES UNDER THE PLAN ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN LEGAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD IN RELIANCE ON SUCH LAWS.

It should be noted, however, that the Plan contemplates that the Reorganized Debtor, as promptly as possible after the Effective Date, will file, and use reasonable best efforts to have declared effective as promptly as practicable, a “resale shelf” registration statement on the applicable form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of New Noteholder Common Stock by any holder who may be deemed an “underwriter” pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1145(b)(1). No assurances can be given as to timing for filing or of effectiveness of such a registration statement.
THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DISCUSSION IS GENERAL IN NATURE AND HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. THE DEBTOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING, AND DOES NOT PROVIDE, ANY OPINIONS OR ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO THE NEW COMMON STOCK OR NEW NOTES OR THE BANKRUPTCY MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. IN LIGHT OF THE UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS, THE DEBTOR ENCOURAGES EACH CLAIMANT TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY AND CONSULT WITH ITS OWN LEGAL ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO ALL SUCH MATTERS. BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEX, SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A PARTICULAR HOLDER MAY BE AN UNDERWRITER, THE DEBTOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE ABILITY OF A PERSON TO DISPOSE OF THE NEW COMMON STOCK OR NEW NOTES.
THE NEW COMMON STOCK WILL BE ISSUED SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NEW USEC GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND THE NEW NOTES (INCLUDING THE LIMITED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE) WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NEW INDENTURE.
C.
Reporting Obligations
 
The Plan provides that the Reorganized Debtor will cause the Class A Stock to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). As a result, the Reorganized Debtor will be required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act with the SEC while the Class A Stock is so registered. Subject to meeting applicable listing standards, the Reorganized Debtor will use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Class A Stock for trading on a national





securities exchange as soon as practicable following the Effective Date.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN

A.
INTRODUCTION

The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax consequences expected to result from the consummation of the Plan. This discussion is only for general information purposes and only describes the expected tax consequences to holders of Claims and Interests (“ Holders ”) entitled to vote on the Plan. It is not a complete analysis of all potential federal income tax consequences and does not address any tax consequences arising under any state, local or foreign tax laws or federal estate or gift tax laws. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ IRC ” or “ Tax Code ”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the “ IRS ”), all as in effect on the date of this Disclosure Statement. These authorities may change, possibly retroactively, resulting in federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS, and no legal opinion of counsel will be rendered, with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position regarding the federal income tax consequences resulting from the consummation of the Plan or that any contrary position would not be sustained by a court.
This discussion assumes that Holders of the Old Notes and the USEC Preferred Stock Interests have held such property as “capital assets” within the meaning of IRC Section 1221 (generally, property held for investment) and will hold the New Notes and New Common Stock as capital assets. In addition, this discussion assumes that the Debtor’s obligations under the Old Notes and New Notes will be treated as debt for federal income tax purposes.
This discussion does not address all federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular Holder in light of that Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the tax on net investment income imposed by Section 1411 of the Tax Code. In addition, it does not address considerations relevant to Holders subject to special rules under the federal income tax laws, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies, tax-exempt organizations, tax-qualified retirement plans, partnerships and other pass-through entities, Holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, Holders holding the Old Notes, USEC Preferred Stock Interests, New Notes or New Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment, and U.S. Holders (as defined below) who have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.
HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NEW NOTES AND NEW COMMON STOCK RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL TAX LAWS.
TO COMPLY WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CIRCULAR 230, TAXPAYERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY ANY TAXPAYER, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON A TAXPAYER UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, (B) ANY SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN, AND (C) TAXPAYERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.
B.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE DEBTORFEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE DEBTOR

1.
Cancellation Of Indebtedness And Reduction Of Tax Attributes

The Debtor generally should realize cancellation of indebtedness (“ COD ”) income to the extent the adjusted issue price of the Old Notes exceeds the sum of (a) the fair market value of any property (including New Common Stock) and (b) the issue price of the New Notes received by Holders of the Old Notes. The amount of COD income that will be realized by the Debtor is uncertain because it will depend on the fair market value of the New Common Stock and the issue price of the New Notes on the Effective Date (see discussion of the rules relating to the determination of the issue price of the New Notes below in “- Federal Income Tax Consequences to Holders of Certain Claims-U.S. Holders of Noteholder Claims (Class 5)-New Notes- Contingent Debt Rules ”).





Under IRC Section 108, COD income realized by a debtor will be excluded from gross income if the discharge of debt occurs in a case brought under the Bankruptcy Code, the debtor is under the court’s jurisdiction in such case and the discharge is granted by the court or is pursuant to a plan approved by the court (the “ Bankruptcy Exception ”). Because the Bankruptcy Exception will apply to the transactions consummated pursuant to the Plan, the Debtor will be entitled to exclude from gross income any COD income realized as a result of the implementation of the Plan.
Under IRC Section 108(b), a debtor that excludes COD income from gross income under the Bankruptcy Exception generally must reduce certain tax attributes by the amount of the excluded COD income. Attributes subject to reduction include net operating losses (“ NOLs ”), NOL carryforwards and certain other losses, credits and carryforwards, and the debtor’s tax basis in its assets (including stock of subsidiaries). A debtor’s tax basis in its assets generally may not be reduced below the amount of liabilities remaining immediately after the discharge of indebtedness. If the debtor is a member of a consolidated group and is required to reduce its basis in the stock of another group member, a “look-through rule” generally requires a corresponding reduction in the tax attributes of the lower-tier member. If the amount of a debtor’s excluded COD income exceeds the amount of attribute reduction resulting from the application of the foregoing rules, certain other tax attributes of the consolidated group may also be subject to reduction. NOLs for the taxable year of the discharge and NOL carryovers to such year generally are the first attributes subject to reduction. However, a debtor may elect under IRC Section 108(b)(5) (the “ Section 108(b)(5) Election ”) to reduce its basis in its depreciable property first. If the debtor is a member of a consolidated group, the debtor may treat stock in another group member as depreciable property for purposes of the Section 108(b)(5) Election, provided the lower-tier member consents to a corresponding reduction in its basis in its depreciable property. If a debtor makes a Section 108(b)(5) Election, the limitation on reducing the debtor’s basis in its assets below the amount of its remaining liabilities does not apply. The Debtor has not yet determined whether it will make the Section 108(b)(5) Election.
For tax periods through the 2012 tax year, the Debtor has reported on its federal income tax returns approximately $88 million of consolidated NOLs and NOL carrryforwards and approximately $102 million of consolidated NOLs and NOL carrryforwards for purposes of the alternative minimum tax (“ AMT NOLs ”). The Debtor believes that for federal income tax purposes, the Debtor’s consolidated group (the “ Debtor Group ”) generated approximately $130 million to $150 million of consolidated NOLs and approximately $130 million to $150 million of AMT NOLs in the 2013 tax year, and likely will generate additional NOLs and AMT NOLs for the 2014 tax year. However, the amount of the Debtor Group’s 2013 and 2014 NOLs and AMT NOLs will not be determined until the Debtor Group prepares its consolidated federal income tax returns for such periods. Moreover, the Debtor Group’s NOLs and AMT NOLs are subject to audit and possible challenge by the IRS. Accordingly, the amount of the Debtor Group’s NOLs and AMT NOLs ultimately may vary from the amounts set forth above.
The Debtor currently anticipates that the application of IRC Section 108(b) (assuming no Section 108(b)(5) Election is made) will result in a reduction of the Debtor Group’s consolidated NOLs and AMT NOLs and possibly basis in certain assets. However, the ultimate effect of the attribute reduction rules is uncertain because, among other things, it will depend on the amount of COD income realized by the Debtor.
2.
Section 382 Limitation On Net Operating Losses And Built-In Losses

Under IRC Section 382, if a corporation or a consolidated group of corporations with NOLs or built-in losses (a “ loss corporation ”) undergoes an “ownership change,” the loss corporation’s use of its pre-change NOLs and recognized built-in losses (“ RBILs ”) (and certain other tax attributes) generally will be subject to an annual limitation in the post-change period. In general, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of the value of the loss corporation’s stock owned by one or more direct or indirect “five percent shareholders” increases by more than fifty percentage points over the lowest percentage of value owned by the five percent shareholders at any time during the applicable testing period (an “ Ownership Change ”). The testing period generally is the shorter of (i) the three-year period preceding the testing date or (ii) the period of time since the most recent Ownership Change of the corporation.
Subject to the special bankruptcy rules discussed below, the amount of the annual limitation on a loss corporation’s use of its pre-change NOLs and RBILs (and certain other tax attributes) is generally equal to the product of the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate (as published by the IRS for the month in which the Ownership Change occurs) and the value of the loss corporation’s outstanding stock immediately before the Ownership Change (excluding certain capital contributions). If a loss corporation has a net unrealized built-in gain (“ NUBIG ”) immediately prior to the Ownership Change, the annual limitation may be increased as certain gains are recognized during the five-year period beginning on the date of the Ownership Change (the “ Recognition Period ”). If a loss corporation has a net unrealized built-in loss (“ NUBIL ”) immediately prior to the Ownership Change, certain losses recognized during the Recognition Period also would be subject to the annual limitation and thus may reduce the amount of pre-change NOLs that could be used by the loss corporation during the Recognition Period.
A NUBIG or NUBIL is generally the difference between the fair market value of a loss corporation’s assets and its tax





basis in the assets, subject to a statutorily-defined threshold amount. The amount of a loss corporation’s NUBIG or NUBIL must be adjusted for built-in items of income or deduction that would be attributable to a pre-change period if recognized during the Recognition Period. The NUBIG or NUBIL of a consolidated group generally is calculated on a consolidated basis, subject to special rules.
If a loss corporation has a NUBIG immediately prior to an Ownership Change, any recognized built-in-gains (“ RBIGs ”) will increase the annual limitation in the taxable year the RBIG is recognized. An RBIG generally is any gain (and certain income) with respect to an asset held immediately before the date of the Ownership Change that is recognized during the Recognition Period to the extent of the fair market value of the asset over its tax basis immediately prior to the Ownership Change. However, the aggregate amount of all RBIBs that are recognized during the Recognition Period may not exceed the NUBIG. On the other hand, if a loss corporation has a NUBIL immediately prior to an Ownership Change, any RBILs will be subject to the annual limitation in the same manner as pre-change NOLs. An RBIL generally is any loss (and certain deductions) with respect to an asset held immediately before the date of the Ownership Change that is recognized during the Recognition Period to the extent of the excess of the tax basis of the asset over its fair market value immediately prior to the Ownership Change. However, the aggregate amount of all RBILS that are recognized during the Recognition Period may not exceed the NUBIL. RBIGs and RBILs may be recognized during the Recognition Period for depreciable and amortizable assets that are not actually disposed. The Debtor believes that the Debtor Group will have a large NUBIL on the Effective Date and potentially significant RBILs recognized during the Recognition Period on depreciable and amortizable assets.
An Ownership Change prior to the Effective Date would result in an annual limitation on the Debtor’s use of the Debtor Group’s consolidated NOLs and AMT NOLs (and possibly other tax attributes) attributable to the period prior to such date along with RBILs arising during the Recognition Period. It is likely that any change in ownership prior to the Effective Date would result in a significant portion of the Debtor Group’s existing NOLs (and possibly other tax attributes) and RBILs arising during the Recognition Period being unusable in periods after such Ownership Change. The Debtor expects the consummation of the Plan will result in an Ownership Change of the Debtor Group. Because the Ownership Change will occur in a case brought under the Bankruptcy Code, one of the following two special rules should apply in determining the Debtor Group’s ability to utilize in post-Effective Date tax periods NOLs (and possibly other tax attributes) attributable to tax periods preceding the Effective Date and RBILs arising during the Recognition Period provided there is no Ownership Change of the Debtor prior to the Effective Date.
Under IRC Section 382(l)(5), an Ownership Change in bankruptcy will not result in any annual limitation on the debtor’s pre-change NOLs (and certain other tax attributes) and RBILs arising during the Recognition Period if the stockholders and qualified creditors of the debtor receive at least 50% of the stock (by vote and value) of the reorganized debtor in the bankruptcy reorganization as a result of being shareholders or creditors of the debtor. Instead, the debtor’s pre-change NOLs are reduced by the amount of any interest deductions with respect to debt converted into stock in the bankruptcy reorganization that were allowed in the three full taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the Ownership Change occurs and in the part of the taxable year prior to and including the date of the Ownership Change attributable to the bankruptcy reorganization (the “ Plan Ownership Change ”). However, if any pre-change NOLs (and certain other tax attributes) of the debtor already are subject to an annual usage limitation under IRC Section 382 at the time of an Ownership Change subject to IRC Section 382(l)(5), those NOLs (and certain other tax attributes) will continue to be subject to such limitation.
A qualified creditor is any creditor who has held the debt of the debtor for at least eighteen months prior to the petition date or who has held “ordinary course indebtedness” that has been owned at all times by such creditor. A creditor who does not become a direct or indirect five percent shareholder of the reorganized debtor generally may be treated by the debtor as having always held any debt owned immediately before the Ownership Change, unless the creditor’s participation in formulating the plan of reorganization makes evident to the debtor that the creditor has not owned the debt for the requisite period.
A debtor may elect not to apply IRC Section 382(l)(5) to an Ownership Change that otherwise satisfies its requirements. This election must be made on the debtor’s federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Ownership Change occurs. If IRC Section 382(l)(5) applies to an Ownership Change (and the debtor does not elect out), any subsequent Ownership Change of the debtor within the two-year period following the date of the Plan Ownership Change will result in the debtor being unable to use any pre-change losses in any taxable year ending after such subsequent Ownership Change to offset future taxable income.
If an Ownership Change pursuant to a bankruptcy plan does not satisfy the requirements of IRC Section 382(l)(5), or if a debtor elects not to apply IRC Section 382(l)(5), the debtor’s use of its pre-change NOLs (and certain other tax attributes) and RBILs arising during the Recognition Period will be subject to an annual limitation as determined under IRC Section 382(l)(6). In such case, the amount of the annual limitation generally will be equal to the product of the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate (3.56% for March 2014) and the value of the debtor’s outstanding stock immediately after the bankruptcy reorganization, provided such value may not exceed the value of the debtor’s gross assets immediately before the Ownership Change, subject to certain adjustments. However, if any pre-change NOLs (and certain other tax attributes) of the debtor already are subject to an





annual limitation at the time of an Ownership Change subject to IRC Section 382(l)(6), those NOLs (and certain other tax attributes) will be subject to the lower of the two annual limitations.
The Debtor is unable to determine whether the Ownership Change expected to result from the consummation of the Plan may satisfy the requirements of IRC Section 382(l)(5), as such determination will depend on the extent to which Holders of the Old Notes immediately prior to consummation of the Plan may be treated as qualified creditors for purposes of IRC Section 382(l)(5). If IRC Section 382(l)(6) applies, the Debtor Group’s pre-change NOLs and certain other tax attributes remaining after reduction for excluded COD income along with RBILs arising during the Recognition Period will be subject to an annual limitation generally equal to the product of the long-term tax-exempt rate for the month in which the Plan Ownership Change occurs and the value of the Debtor’s outstanding stock immediately after consummation of the Plan. NOLs, RBILs, and certain other tax attributes not utilized in a given year due to the annual limitation may be carried forward for use in future years until their expiration dates (with any RBIL disallowed during the Recognition Period permitted to be carried forward under rules similar to those applying to NOL carryforwards). To the extent the annual limitation of the Reorganized Debtor’s consolidated group (the “ Reorganized Debtor Group ”) exceeds the Reorganized Debtor Group’s taxable income (for purposes of Section 382) in a given year, the excess will increase the annual limitation in future taxable years.
3.
Alternative Minimum Tax

In general, a federal alternative minimum tax (“ AMT ”) is imposed on a corporation’s alternative minimum taxable income (“ AMTI ”) at a 20% rate to the extent such tax exceeds the corporation’s regular federal income tax for the taxable year. For purposes of computing AMTI, certain tax deductions and other beneficial allowances are modified or eliminated, with further adjustments required if AMTI, determined without regard to adjusted current earnings (“ ACE ”), differs from ACE. In addition, even though a corporation otherwise might be able to offset all of its taxable income for regular tax purposes by available NOL carryforwards, only 90% of its AMTI generally may be offset by available AMT NOL carryforwards. Accordingly, for tax periods after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor Group may have to pay AMT regardless of whether it generates non-AMT NOLs or has sufficient non-AMT NOL carryforwards to offset regular taxable income for such periods. In addition, if a corporation undergoes an Ownership Change within the meaning of IRC Section 382 and is in a NUBIL position on the date of the Ownership Change, the corporation’s aggregate tax basis in its assets would be reduced for certain AMT purposes to reflect the fair market value of such assets as of the change date. A corporation that pays AMT generally is later allowed a nonrefundable credit (equal to a portion of its prior year AMT liability) against its regular federal income tax liability in future taxable years when it is no longer subject to the AMT.

1.
Definition of U.S. Holder and Non-U.S. Holder

A “U.S. Holder” is Holder of the Old Notes, USEC Preferred Stock Interests, New Notes or New Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Tax Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a Holder of the Old Notes, USEC Preferred Stock Interests, New Notes or New Common Stock that is not a U.S. Holder and is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), estate or trust.
2.
U.S. Holders Of Noteholder Claims (Class 5)

(a)
Exchange of Old Notes for New Notes and New Common Stock
Recognition of Gain or Loss . The federal income tax consequences of the exchange of Old Notes for New Notes and New Common Stock (the “ Old Notes Exchange ”) depend, in part, on whether the Old Notes and New Notes constitute “securities”





for purposes of the provisions of the Tax Code relating to tax-free transactions. The test of whether a debt obligation is a security involves an overall evaluation of the nature of the obligation, with the term of the obligation usually regarded as one of the most significant factors. Debt obligations with a term of five years or less generally have not qualified as securities, whereas debt obligations with a term of ten years or more generally have qualified as securities. Another important factor in determining whether a debt obligation is a security is the extent to which the obligation is subordinated to other liabilities of the issuer. Generally, the more senior the debt obligation, the less likely it is to be a security.
The Old Notes should qualify as a security because the notes are unsecured obligations with an original term of approximately seven years and are convertible into stock of the Debtor. Although the matter is not free from doubt, it appears that the New Notes may constitute securities for federal income tax purposes because they have a term of five years which can be extended to ten years in certain circumstances. Accordingly, the Debtor intends to take the position that the Old Notes Exchange constitutes a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes.
Subject to the preceding discussion, U.S. Holders of Old Notes should not recognize gain or loss in the Old Notes Exchange. A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the New Notes and New Common Stock should be equal to its adjusted tax basis in the Old Notes exchanged therefor, allocated between the New Notes and New Common Stock in proportion to their fair market values as of the Effective Date. A U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Notes and New Common Stock should include the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Old Notes. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis and holding period in the New Notes and New Common Stock would generally be required to be calculated separately for each block of Old Notes exchanged therefor. Because distributions under the Plan are allocated first to principal and then to interest, if any, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, it is unclear whether the cash that the U.S. Holders receive on the Effective Date in an amount equal to the unpaid accrued interest on the Old Notes should be treated by the U.S. Holders as interest income.
If the New Notes do not constitute a security then a U.S. Holder of Old Notes would recognize gain, but not loss, to the extent of the fair market value (as determined for purposes of IRC Section 356) of the New Notes. The amount of gain (if any) recognized by a U.S. Holder would be equal to the excess of (i) the sum of the issue price of the New Notes (see discussion of issue price below in “- New Notes- Contingent Debt Rules ”) and the fair market value of the New Common Stock over (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Old Notes exchanged therefor. Subject to the “- New Notes-Market Discount ” discussion below, any such gain generally would be capital gain, and would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder has held the Old Notes for more than one year as of the Effective Date. In this case, the U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the New Common Stock would be equal to its adjusted tax basis in the Old Notes minus the fair market value of the New Notes received on the Effective Date plus the amount of any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder in the Old Notes Exchange. The U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the New Notes would be equal to the debt’s fair market value (as determined for purposes of IRC Section 358) on the Effective Date. The U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Common Stock would include the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Old Notes, and its holding period in the New Notes would begin on the day after the Effective Date.
U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the character of any gain as long-term or short-term capital gain, or as ordinary income, as its character will be determined by a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the tax status of the U.S. Holder, whether the Old Notes constitute a capital asset in the U.S. Holder’s hands, whether the Old Notes have been held for more than one year, whether the Old Notes have bond premium or market discount, and whether and to what extent the U.S. Holder previously claimed a bad debt deduction with respect to the Old Notes. U.S. Holders also should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains, and as to whether any resulting gain recognition may be deferred under the installment method until principal is repaid on the New Notes.

New Notes
Characterization of the New Notes . The New Notes provide that the Reorganized Debtor (i) may elect to pay a portion of the interest on the New Notes in kind, by either increasing the principal amount of the New Notes or issuing additional New Notes (a “ PIK Election ”), and (ii) upon the occurrence of certain funding contingencies (the “ Maturity Date Condition ”), may elect to extend the maturity date of the New Notes to the tenth anniversary of their issue date (a “ Maturity Date Election ”). Special rules apply under Section 1.1272-1(c) (the “ Alternative Payment Schedule Rules ”) and Section 1.1275-4 (the “ Contingent Debt Rules ”) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations to debt instruments that provide for one or more alternative payment schedules upon the occurrence of one or more contingencies if the alternative payments schedules result in different yields for the debt instrument (which different yields would occur in the case of the New Notes upon the Reorganized Debtor’s exercise of the PIK Election or the Maturity Date Election provided the New Notes have an issue price that is less than their principal amount). If either the New Notes or Old Notes are publicly traded, the Contingent Debt Rules will apply to the New Notes unless there is a single payment schedule which is significantly more likely than not to occur, in which case the Alternative Payment Schedule Rules will apply to determine the yield and maturity date of the New Notes. If neither the New Notes nor the Old Notes are publicly traded, then the fixed yield rules in Section 1.1272-1(d) of the Treasury Regulations (the “ Fixed Yield Rules ”) should apply to the New Notes, in which case the yield on the New Notes will be the stated interest rate.





At this time the Debtor believes that (i) there is no single payment schedule that will be significantly more likely than not to occur and (ii) the New Notes and the Old Notes will be publicly traded during the relevant period, and thus the Contingent Debt Rules should apply to the New Notes. However, because this determination ultimately must be made as of the issue date of the New Notes, no assurance can be made that the Debtor will treat the New Notes as a contingent payment debt instrument (a “ CPDI ”) subject to the Contingent Debt Rules.
Tax Reporting . Pursuant to the Indenture for the New Notes, the Reorganized Debtor shall determine whether the New Notes are publicly traded, the “issue price” of the New Notes and whether the Contingent Debt Rules, the Alternative Payment Schedule Rules or the Fixed Yield Rules will apply to the New Notes (the “ Tax Reporting Rules ”), and the Reorganized Debtor will provide this information to the Trustee and the Holders of the New Notes. Each Holder, by acceptance of the New Notes, agrees to use this “issue price” and apply the Tax Reporting Rules (including, if applicable, the comparable yield and projected payment schedule, or the applicable payment schedule) for its own tax reporting and return filing.
Contingent Debt Rules . If the New Notes are treated as a CPDI, all interest on the New Notes (including stated interest) will be treated as original issue discount (“ OID ”) and U.S. Holders will be required to include OID in gross income (as ordinary income) as it accrues (regardless of their method of accounting), which may be in advance of receipt of the cash attributable to that income. Under the Contingent Debt Rules, OID would accrue according to the “noncontingent bond method,” based on the “comparable yield” of the New Notes, which the Reorganized Debtor would be required to determine.
The “comparable yield” of a debt instrument is a rate, as of the issue date, at which the issuer would issue a fixed rate debt instrument without contingencies but otherwise with terms and conditions similar to that debt instrument, including the level of subordination, term, timing of payments and general market conditions. The Contingent Debt Rules provide that the Reorganized Debtor, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, would be required to prepare a projected payment schedule including actual noncontingent payments to be made on the New Notes and estimates of the amount and timing of contingent payments on the New Notes, such that the projected payment schedule produces the comparable yield. The Reorganized Debtor’s determination of the comparable yield and projected payment schedule, and the adjustments thereto described below, would be binding on each Holder and must be used in respect of the New Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Reorganized Debtor’s determination, however, is not binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to challenge this determination, a Holder might be required to treat the New Notes as subject to the Alternative Payment Schedule Rules.
The comparable yield and the projected payment schedule are not provided for any purpose other than the determination of OID and adjustments thereto in respect of the New Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and do not constitute a projection or representation regarding the actual amount and timing of the payments to be made on the New Notes.
The annual amounts of OID includible in income will equal the sum of the “daily portions” of the OID with respect to a U.S. Holder’s New Notes for each day on which the U.S. Holder owns the New Notes during the tax year. Generally, a U.S. Holder determines the daily portions of OID by allocating to each day in an “accrual period” a pro rata portion of the OID that is allocable to that accrual period. The term “accrual period” means an interval of time with respect to which the accrual of OID is measured and which may vary in length over the term of the New Notes provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on either the first or last day of an accrual period.
The amount of OID allocable to an accrual period will be the product of the “adjusted issue price” of the New Notes at the beginning of the accrual period and its “comparable yield” adjusted for the length of the accrual period. The “adjusted issue price” of the New Notes will be their “issue price,” increased by any OID previously accrued, determined without regard to any adjustments to OID accruals described below, and decreased by the amounts of any noncontingent payments and the projected amounts of any contingent payments previously made on the New Notes.
The issue price of a debt instrument issued in exchange for another debt instrument depends on whether either debt instrument is considered “traded on an established market” (“ publicly traded ”). If the New Notes are treated as “publicly traded” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the “issue price” of the New Notes will be the fair market value of the New Notes as of their issue date. If the Old Notes are, but the New Notes are not, treated as publicly traded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the issue price of the New Notes received in exchange for the relevant Old Notes will be the fair market value of the Old Notes exchanged for the New Notes, as determined on the issue date of the New Notes. If neither the Old Notes nor the New Notes are treated as publicly traded, then the issue price of the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes will be the principal amount of such New Notes.
The New Notes will be considered to be publicly traded if, at any time during the 31-day period ending 15 days after their issue date, the New Notes are traded on an “established market.” The New Notes will be considered to trade on an established market if (i) there is a price for an executed purchase or sale of the New Notes that is reasonably available within a reasonable





period of time after the sale; (ii) there is at least one price quote for the New Notes from at least one reasonably identifiable broker, dealer or pricing service, which price quote is substantially the same as the price for which the person receiving the quoted price could purchase or sell the New Notes (a “ firm quote ”), or (iii) there is at least one price quote for the New Notes other than a firm quote, available from at least one such broker, dealer, or pricing service. Although the matter is not free from doubt, these same rules should also apply for purposes of determining whether the Old Notes will be considered to be publicly traded.
Treasury Regulations require the Reorganized Debtor to make a determination as to whether the Old Notes or New Notes are publicly traded, and if the Reorganized Debtor determines that the Old Notes or New Notes are publicly traded, to determine the fair market value of the New Notes on their issue date which will establish their “issue price.” The Treasury Regulations require the Reorganized Debtor to make such determinations available to U.S. Holders in a commercially reasonable fashion, including by electronic publication, within 90 days of the issue date of the New Notes. The Treasury Regulations provide that each of these determinations is binding on a Holder unless the Holder satisfies certain conditions. Certain rules apply as to whether a sales price or quote may establish the fair market value of the New Notes and under what conditions the Reorganized Debtor may otherwise establish the fair market value of the New Notes.
Because the relevant trading period for determining whether the Old Notes and New Notes are publicly traded and the issue price of the New Notes has not yet occurred, the Debtor is unable to determine the issue price of the New Notes at this time. However, it does appear likely that the Old Notes and New Notes will be publicly traded during the relevant period, in which case the issue price of the New Notes will be their fair market value as of their issue date.
If the New Notes are subject to the Contingent Debt Rules, and the actual contingent payments made on the New Notes differ from the projected contingent payments, adjustments will need to be made to account for the difference. If, during any taxable year, a U.S. Holder receives actual contingent payments with respect to the New Notes for that taxable year that in the aggregate exceeds the total amount of projected contingent payments for such taxable year, such U.S. Holder would incur a net positive adjustment equal to the amount of such excess. Such net positive adjustment would be treated as additional OID for such taxable year. If, during a taxable year, a U.S. Holder receives actual contingent payments with respect to the New Notes for that taxable year that in the aggregate are less than the amount of projected contingent payments for such taxable year, such U.S. Holder would incur a net negative adjustment equal to the amount of such deficit. A net negative adjustment would:
first, reduce the amount of OID required to be accrued in that year;
second, be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s total prior OID inclusions with respect to the New Notes (which would include any prior net positive adjustments), reduced to the extent such OID was offset by prior net negative adjustments; and
third, be treated as a negative adjustment in the succeeding taxable year(s), and, if not used by the time the New Note was sold or matured, be treated as a reduction in the amount realized on a sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition.
    
Positive or negative adjustments with respect to a future contingent payment would be taken into account before the payment is due (which would increase or decrease the adjusted issue price and adjusted tax basis of the New Notes) if the future contingent payment becomes fixed more than six months before the payment is due.
If the New Notes are subject to the Contingent Debt Rules and a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Notes on the Effective Date differs from their issue price, the U.S. Holder must, upon acquiring the New Notes, reasonably allocate this difference to daily portions of interest or projected payments over the remaining term of the New Notes. If a U.S. Holder’s tax basis on the Effective Date is greater than the issue price of the New Notes, the difference that is allocated is treated as a negative adjustment on the date the daily portion accrues or the payment is made. If a U.S. Holder’s tax basis on the Effective Date is less than the issue price of the New Notes, the difference that is allocated is treated as a positive adjustment on the date the daily portion accrues or the payment is made. On the date of any adjustment, the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the New Notes will be reduced by the amount treated as a negative adjustment and will be increased by the amount treated as a positive adjustment.
Special rules apply if a contingent payment becomes fixed more than six months before a payment is due. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding these special rules.
Alternative Payment Schedule Rules . If either the New Notes or the Old Notes are “publicly traded” during the relevant period and the issue price of the New Notes is not equal to their principal amount, and the Reorganized Debtor determines as of the issue date of the New Notes that a single payment schedule is significantly more likely than not to occur, the yield and maturity





of the New Notes will be determined based on that payment schedule pursuant to the Alternative Payment Schedule Rules. The Reorganized Debtor’s determination that the New Notes are subject to the Alternative Payment Schedule Rules would be binding on each Holder. The Reorganized Debtor’s determination, however, is not binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to challenge this determination, a Holder might be required to treat the New Notes as subject to the Contingent Debt Rules.
If the New Notes are determined to be subject to the Alternative Payment Schedule Rules, the New Notes would be issued with OID in an amount equal to the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of the New Notes (taking into account the payment schedule assumption described above) over the issue price of the New Notes. The stated redemption price at maturity of a note generally is the sum of all payments provided by the note other than payments of qualified stated interest. The term “qualified stated interest” generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments of the issuer, such as amounts that the Reorganized Debtor may elect to pay in kind pursuant to the PIK Election) at least annually at a single fixed rate.
U.S. Holders would be required to include OID in gross income (as ordinary income) as it accrues (regardless of their method of accounting), which may be in advance of receipt of cash attributable to that income (see “- New Notes-Contingent Debt Rules ”). However, a U.S. Holder generally will not be required to include separately in income cash payments received on the New Notes to the extent the payments constitute payments of previously accrued OID.
If payments are made on the New Note contrary to the payment schedule used to compute the yield and maturity of the New Notes, then solely for the purposes of determining the amount of OID on the New Notes, the New Notes will be treated as retired and reissued on the date of the change in circumstances for an amount equal to their adjusted issue price and the yield to maturity on the New Notes will be redetermined taking into account such change in circumstances.
The “yield to maturity” (as of the issue date) of a debt instrument that is subject to the Alternative Payment Schedule Rules is the discount rate that, when used in computing the present value of all principal and interest payments to be made on the debt instrument, produces an amount equal to the issue price of the debt instrument. OID will be included in income under accrual rules generally comparable to those discussed above in “- Contingent Debt Rules ,” but U.S. Holders will use the yield to maturity rather than the comparable yield when applying those rules and the special rules relating to contingent payments and adjustments will not apply.
Fixed Yield Rules . If neither the New Notes nor the Old Notes are publicly traded during the relevant period, then the Fixed Yield Rules would apply to the New Notes rather than the Contingent Debt Rules or the Alternative Payment Schedule Rules. In such event, the yield on the New Notes would be the stated interest rate, and U.S. Holders would recognize stated interest income and OID with respect to the New Notes under the general rules discussed above in “- New Notes-Contingent Debt Rules ” and “- New Notes-Alternative Payment Schedule Rules .”
Treatment of PIK Notes . A newly distributed note (a “ PIK Note ”) issued in payment of interest on a New Note is aggregated with, and will be treated as part of, the New Note with respect to which it was issued. Thus, the issue price (and tax basis) of a PIK Note issued in payment of interest on a New Note likely will be determined by allocating the adjusted issue price (and adjusted tax basis), at the time of distribution, of the underlying New Note between the newly distributed PIK Note and the underlying New Note in proportion to their respective principal amounts. OID on a PIK Note will accrue in the same manner as described above in the case of such underlying New Note. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for a PIK Note will likely be identical to their holding period for the underlying New Note. The same rules would apply to a newly distributed note received in lieu of cash interest on a PIK Note.
Market Discount . A U.S. Holder that acquired an Old Note at a market discount generally will be required to treat any gain recognized on the Old Notes Exchange as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount not previously included in gross income by the U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder will be considered to have acquired an Old Note at a market discount if its tax basis in the note immediately after acquisition was less than the sum of all amounts payable thereon (other than payments of qualified stated interest) after the acquisition date, unless the difference is less than 0.25% of the Old Note’s issue price multiplied by the number of complete years from the acquisition date to maturity (in which case, the difference is de minimis market discount).
However, if the Old Notes Exchange qualifies as a recapitalization, special rules apply whereby a U.S. Holder that acquired an Old Note at a market discount generally should not be required to recognize any accrued market discount as income at the time of the Old Notes Exchange to the extent it receives stock or securities in exchange for the Old Note. Rather, any gain realized by the U.S. Holder on a subsequent taxable disposition of the New Common Stock received in the exchange will be ordinary income to the extent of the amount of market discount accrued on the Old Note prior to the exchange that is allocable to the stock, and the treatment of the New Notes will depend on whether they are treated as a CPDI.





If the New Notes are treated as a CPDI, the difference between a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Notes on the Effective Date and their issue price will be allocated to daily portions of interest or to projected payments and treated as positive adjustments as discussed above in “- Contingent Debt Rules ,” and the market discount rules discussed below will not apply.
If the New Notes are not treated as a CPDI, the New Notes will be treated as having accrued market discount to the extent of the allocable amount of market discount accrued on the Old Note that was not previously included in income by the U.S. Holder with respect to the Old Note. In addition, if the U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the New Notes is less than the note’s issue price, such difference will be treated as market discount (a portion of which may be treated as accrued market discount under the rule discussed in the previous sentence), unless the difference is less than 0.25% of the New Notes’ stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years from the Effective Date to maturity (in which case, the difference is de minimis market discount).
The method of allocating accrued market discount to stock and securities when both are received in exchange for a market discount obligation in a recapitalization is uncertain. Accordingly, U.S. Holders that acquired the Old Notes with market discount should consult their tax advisors regarding this issue.
Market discount generally will be treated as accruing on a straight line basis over the term of the New Note or, at the U.S. Holder’s election, under a constant yield method. If a constant yield election is made, it will apply only to the New Note held by the U.S. Holder and may not be revoked. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income as it accrues over the remaining term of the New Note. Once made, this accrual election applies to all market discount obligations acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. If a U.S. Holder does not elect to include accrued market discount in income over the remaining term of the New Note, the U.S. Holder may be required to defer the deduction of a portion of the interest on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry the note until maturity or until a taxable disposition of the note.
If a New Note is treated as a market discount obligation, the U.S. Holder will be required to treat any gain recognized on the disposition of the note as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount not previously included in income with respect to the obligation. If the U.S. Holder disposes of the New Note in certain otherwise nontaxable transactions, the U.S. Holder may be required to include accrued market discount in income as ordinary income as if the U.S. Holder sold the note at its then fair market value.
Amortizable Bond Premium . If the New Notes are not treated as a CPDI then, to the extent a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in a New Note is greater than the stated redemption price at maturity of the note, the U.S. Holder generally will be considered to have acquired the New Note with amortizable bond premium (and the New Note would not have any OID). Generally, a holder that acquires a debt obligation at a premium may elect to amortize bond premium from the acquisition date to the debt’s maturity date under a constant yield method. Once made, this election applies to all debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. The amount amortized in any taxable year generally is treated as an offset to payments of qualified stated interest on the related debt obligation.
Acquisition Premium . If the New Notes are not treated as a CPDI and a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in a New Note is less than or equal to the stated redemption price at maturity of the note, but greater than the issue price of the note, the U.S. Holder will be treated as acquiring the New Note at an “acquisition premium.” Unless an election is made, the U.S. Holder generally will reduce the amount of OID otherwise includible in gross income for an accrual period by an amount equal to the amount of OID otherwise includible in gross income multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the New Note over the note’s issue price and the denominator of which is the excess of the sum of all amounts payable on the New Note over the note’s issue price.
Sale, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition . A U.S. Holder of a New Note will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the New Note equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition (less a portion allocable to any accrued interest that has not yet been included in income by the U.S. Holder, which generally will be taxable as ordinary income) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Note.
If the New Notes are treated as a CPDI, gain or loss on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a New Note generally will be subject to the following rules: (1) gain will be treated as interest income, taxable as ordinary income, (2) loss will be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s prior net OID inclusions with respect to the New Note, and (3) any remaining loss will be treated as capital loss.
If the New Notes are not treated as a CPDI then, subject to the “- New Notes-Market Discount ” discussion above, any





gain or loss on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the New Notes generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the New Note for more than one year as of the date of disposition. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains and losses. There are limitations on the deduction of capital losses by both corporate and noncorporate taxpayers.

(c) New Common Stock

Distributions . A U.S. Holder of New Common Stock generally will be required to include in gross income as ordinary dividend income the amount of any distributions paid on the New Common Stock to the extent such distributions are paid out of the Reorganized Debtor Group’s current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for federal income tax purposes. Distributions not treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and will first be applied against and reduce a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Common Stock, but not below zero. Any excess amount will be treated as gain from a sale or exchange of the New Common Stock. U.S. Holders that are treated as corporations for federal income tax purposes may be entitled to a dividends received deduction with respect to distributions out of earnings and profits.
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition . A U.S. Holder of New Common Stock will recognize gain or loss upon the sale or other taxable disposition of New Common Stock equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Common Stock. Subject to the rules discussed above in “- New Notes-Market Discount ” and the recapture rules under IRC Section 108(e)(7), any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the New Common Stock for more than one year as of the date of disposition. Under the IRC Section 108(e)(7) recapture rules, a U.S. Holder may be required to treat gain recognized on the taxable disposition of the New Common Stock as ordinary income if the U.S. Holder took a bad debt deduction with respect to the Old Notes. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains and losses. There are limitations on the deduction of capital losses by both corporate and noncorporate taxpayers.
3.
U.S. Holders Of Preferred Stock Claims/Interests (Class 6)

(a)
Exchange of USEC Preferred Stock Interests for New Notes and New Common Stock
Recognition of Gain or Loss . U.S. Holders of USEC Preferred Stock Interests should recognize gain, but not loss, on the exchange of USEC Preferred Stock Interests for New Notes and New Common Stock (the “ Preferred Stock Exchange ”) to the extent of the fair market value (as determined for purposes of IRC Section 356) of the New Notes. The amount of gain (if any) recognized by a U.S. Holder will be equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the issue price of the New Notes (see discussion of the rules relating to the determination of the issue price of the New Notes above in “ -U.S. Holders of Noteholder Claims (Class 5 -New Notes- Contingent Debt Rules ”) and the fair market value of the New Common Stock and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the USEC Preferred Stock Interests exchanged therefor. Any such gain generally will be capital gain, and will be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder has held the USEC Preferred Stock Interests for more than one year as of the Effective Date. The U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the New Common Stock will be equal to its adjusted tax basis in the USEC Preferred Stock Interests minus the fair market value of the New Notes received on the Effective Date plus the amount of any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the Preferred Stock Exchange. The U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the New Notes will be equal to the debt’s fair market value (as determined for purposes of IRC Section 358) on the Effective Date. The U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Common Stock will include the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the USEC Preferred Stock Interests, and its holding period in the New Notes would begin on the day after the Effective Date.

4.
Non-U.S. Holders

The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of a Non-U.S. Holder are complex. The following discussion includes only certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to Non-U.S. Holders. The discussion does not include any non-U.S. tax considerations. Non-U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the effect of U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws, as well as any other applicable non-U.S. tax laws and/or treaties, with regard to their participation in the transactions contemplated by the Plan, their ownership of Claims, and the ownership and disposition of New Notes and New Common Stock, as applicable.





Whether a Non-U.S. Holder realizes gain or loss on an exchange and the amount of such gain or loss is determined in the same manner as set forth above in connection with U.S. Holders.
(a)
Gain Recognition
Any gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the Old Notes Exchange (as described above in “-U.S. Holders Of Noteholder Claims (Class 5)-Exchange of Old Notes for New Notes and New Common Stock ”), Preferred Stock Exchange (as described above in “-U.S. Holders Of Preferred Stock Claims/Interests (Class 6)-Exchange of USEC Preferred Stock Interests for New Notes and New Common Stock ”), or a subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of the New Notes (as described above in “-U.S. Holders Of Noteholder Claims (Class 5)- New Notes-Sale, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition ”) or New Common Stock (as described above in “-U.S. Holders Of Noteholder Claims (Class 5)- New Common Stock-Sale or Other Taxable Disposition ”) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless (a) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the relevant sale, exchange or other taxable disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met, (b) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, such gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) or (c) the Old Common Stock or New Common Stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest (“ USRPI ”) by reason of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, being treated as a U.S. real property holding corporation (“ USRPHC ”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If the first exception applies, to the extent that any gain is recognized, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or at a reduced rate or exemption from tax under an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount by which such Non-U.S. Holder’s capital gains allocable to U.S. sources exceed its capital losses allocable to U.S. sources during the taxable year of the exchange. If the second exception applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to any gain recognized in the same manner as a U.S. Holder. In order to claim an exemption from withholding tax, such Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or such successor form as the IRS designates). In addition, if such Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.
With respect to the third exception, the Debtor believes it is not currently a USRPHC, and does not anticipate that it or the Reorganized Debtor will become a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor is a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of its USRPIs relative to the fair market value of its other business assets and its non-U.S. real property interests, however, there can be no assurance the Debtor is not a USRPHC or the Reorganized Debtor will not become one in the future. Even if the Reorganized Debtor were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of the New Common Stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if such class of stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually or constructively, 5% or less of such class of the New Common Stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such stock.
(b)
Interest
Payments to a Non-U.S. Holder that are attributable to interest (including OID, accrued but untaxed interest and gain from the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the New Notes that is treated as interest income as discussed above in “ -U.S. Holders of Noteholder Claims (Class 5) -New Notes-Sale, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition ”) that is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, provided that the withholding agent has received or receives, prior to payment, appropriate documentation (generally, IRS Form W-8BEN) establishing that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person. Interest income, however, may be subject to U.S. withholding tax if:
the Non-U.S. Holder actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of the Debtor (with respect to payments of interest on the Old Notes) or the Reorganized Debtor (with respect to payments of interest on the New Notes);
the Non-U.S. Holder is a “controlled foreign corporation” that is a “related person” (each, within the meaning of the Tax Code) with respect to the Debtor (with respect to payments of interest on the Old Notes) or the Reorganized Debtor (with respect to payments of interest on the New Notes); or
the Non-U.S. Holder is a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Tax Code.

If interest paid to a Non-U.S. Holder is effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, such interest is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), the Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to





U.S. federal withholding tax but will be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to such interest in the same manner as a U.S. Holder under rules similar to those discussed above with respect to gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (see “- Gain Recognition ” above).
A Non-U.S. Holder that does not qualify for the above exemption with respect to interest that is not effectively connected income generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax on such interest at a 30% rate, unless such Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to a reduction in or exemption from withholding on such interest as a result of an applicable income tax treaty. To claim such entitlement, the Non-U.S. Holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN claiming a reduction in or exemption from withholding tax on such payments of interest under the benefit of an income tax treaty between the United States and the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established. For purposes of providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, special procedures are provided under applicable Treasury Regulations for payments through qualified foreign intermediaries or certain financial institutions that hold customers’ securities in the ordinary course of their trade or business.
(c)
Dividends on New Common Stock
Any distributions made with respect to New Common Stock that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (see “-U.S. Holders Of Noteholder Claims (Class 5)- New Common Stock-Distributions ”) that are not effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (or, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are not attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate or exemption from tax, if applicable) of the gross amount of the dividends. A Non-U.S. Holder generally will be required to satisfy certain IRS certification requirements in order to claim a reduction of or exemption from withholding under a tax treaty by filing IRS Form W-8BEN (or a successor form) upon which the Non-U.S. Holder certifies, under penalties of perjury, its status as a non-U.S. person and its entitlement to the lower treaty rate or exemption from tax with respect to such payments. Dividends paid with respect to New Common Stock held by a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to such dividends in the same manner as a U.S. Holder under rules similar to those discussed above with respect to gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (see “- Gain Recognition ” above).
(d)
Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts
Withholding taxes may be imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“ FATCA ”) on certain types of payments made on the New Common Stock to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, the New Common Stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Tax Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Tax Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Tax Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. A payment amount that is subject to withholding under FATCA will not also be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax or backup withholding.
Withholding under FATCA generally may apply to payments of dividends on the New Common Stock made on or after July 1, 2014 and to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such stock on or after January 1, 2017. The FATCA rules will not apply to the New Notes unless the New Notes are issued (or deemed reissued) on or after July 1, 2014, in which case the foregoing FATCA rules will apply to the New Notes and FATCA withholding may apply to interest payments and to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such notes on or after January 1, 2017.
5.
Information Reporting And Backup Withholding

The Reorganized Debtor (or its paying agent) may be obligated to furnish information to the IRS regarding the consideration received by Holders (other than corporations and other exempt Holders such as certain Non-U.S. Holders) pursuant to the Plan. In addition, the Reorganized Debtor will be required to report annually to the IRS with respect to each Holder (other than corporations and other exempt Holders such as certain Non-U.S. Holders) the amount of interest paid and OID accrued on





the New Notes, the amount of dividends paid on the New Common Stock, and the amount of any tax withheld from payment thereof.
Holders may be subject to backup withholding (currently, at a rate of 28%) on the consideration received pursuant to the Plan. Backup withholding may also apply to interest, OID and principal payments on the New Notes, dividends paid on the New Common Stock and proceeds received upon sale or other disposition of the New Notes or New Common Stock. Certain Holders (including corporations and certain Non-U.S. Holders) generally are not subject to backup withholding. A Holder that is not otherwise exempt generally may avoid backup withholding by furnishing to the Reorganized Debtor (or its paying agent) such Holder’s taxpayer identification number and certifying, under penalties of perjury, that the taxpayer identification number provided is correct and that the Holder has not been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their federal income tax liability or may claim a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN DESCRIBED HEREIN. NEITHER THE PROPONENTS NOR THEIR PROFESSIONALS WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR HOLDER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN OR THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION.
VII.

RISK FACTORS

PRIOR TO VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN, ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS THAT ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE SHOULD READ AND CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE FACTORS SET FORTH HEREIN, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH OR OTHERWISE REFERENCED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. ALTHOUGH THESE RISK FACTORS ARE MANY, THESE FACTORS SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS CONSTITUTING THE ONLY RISKS PRESENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEBTOR’S BUSINESS OR THE PLAN AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION.
A.
CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY CONSIDERATIONS
1.
General
While the Debtor believes that the chapter 11 filing will be of short duration and will not be seriously disruptive to its business, the Debtor cannot be certain that this will be the case. Although the Plan is designed to minimize the length of the Chapter 11 Case, it is impossible to predict with certainty the amount of time that the Debtor may spend in bankruptcy or to assure that the Plan will be confirmed.
Even if the Plan is confirmed on a timely basis, a chapter 11 proceeding could have an adverse effect on the Debtor’s business. Among other things, it is possible that a bankruptcy proceeding could adversely affect the Debtor’s relationships with its key suppliers and employees, and the federal government upon which its plans for the American Centrifuge Project are dependent, and could also adversely affect Enrichment Corp as an important source of funding to the Debtor. A chapter 11 proceeding also will involve additional expenses and could materially divert the attention of the Debtor’s management from operation of the business and implementation of the strategic objectives related to the American Centrifuge Project.
The extent to which a chapter 11 proceeding disrupts the Debtor’s business will likely be directly related to the length of time it takes to complete the proceeding. If the Debtor is unable to obtain confirmation of the Plan on a timely basis because of a challenge to the Plan or a failure to satisfy the conditions to the Plan, it may be forced to operate in bankruptcy for an extended period while it tries to develop a different reorganization plan that can be confirmed, which would increase both the probability and the magnitude of the adverse effects described above.
2.
The Debtor May Not Be Able To Secure Confirmation Of The Plan
Even if the Requisite Acceptances are received from the Voting Classes, the Bankruptcy Court, which, as a court of equity, may exercise substantial discretion, may choose not to confirm the Plan. Bankruptcy Code Section 1129 requires, among other things, a showing that confirmation of the Plan will not be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtor, and that the value of distributions to dissenting holders of Claims and Interests may not be less than the value such holders would receive if the Debtor was liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Although the Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies such tests, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion.





Confirmation of the Plan is also subject to certain conditions as described in Article IX of the Plan. If the Plan is not confirmed, it is unclear what distributions, if any, holders of Allowed Claims and Interests would receive with respect to their Allowed Claims and Interests.
The Debtor reserves the right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which include obtaining the consent of (a) Enrichment Corp, (b) the Majority Consenting Noteholders and (c) the Preferred Stockholders (solely with respect to any terms of the Plan that affect the rights of such Preferred Stockholders), to modify the terms and conditions of the Plan as necessary for confirmation. Any such modifications could result in less favorable treatment of any non-accepting Class, as well as any Classes junior to such non-accepting Class, than the treatment currently provided in the Plan. Such less favorable treatment could include a distribution of property to the Class affected by the modification of a lesser value than currently provided in the Plan or no distribution of property whatsoever under the Plan.
3.
Non-Consensual Confirmation Of The Plan Will Be Necessary
When any impaired class of claims or equity interests does not accept a chapter 11 plan, a bankruptcy court may nevertheless confirm such a plan at the proponent’s request if at least one impaired class of claims has accepted the plan (with such acceptance being determined without including the vote of any “insider” in such class), and, as to each impaired class that has not accepted the plan, the bankruptcy court determines that the plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to the dissenting impaired classes. The Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies these requirements with respect to the Impaired Classes that are deemed to reject the Plan. Nevertheless, in the event that a Voting Class does not accept the Plan, although the Debtor may seek nonconsensual confirmation with respect to such Voting Class, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach this conclusion.
4.
The Debtor And Other Parties In Interest May Object To The Amount, Classification And Treatment Of A Claim
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor reserve the right to object to the amount and classification and treatment of any Claim or Interest under the Plan. In certain circumstances before the Effective Date, other parties in interest may also object to the amount, classification and treatment of any Claim or Interest under the Plan. Any holder of a Claim or Interest that is or may become subject to an objection may not receive the distributions described in this Disclosure Statement or the Plan.
5.
The Debtor May Fail To Meet All Conditions Precedent To Effectiveness Of The Plan
Although the Debtor believes that the Effective Date may occur very shortly after the Confirmation Date, there can be no assurance as to such timing (or that the Effective Date even occurs). Moreover, if the conditions precedent to the Effective Date, including the entry of a Confirmation Order, execution and delivery of certain documents, and receipt of all necessary authorizations, have not occurred within a reasonable period of time, the Plan may be vacated by the Bankruptcy Court.
6.
Contingencies Will Not Affect Validity Of Votes Of Impaired Classes To Accept Or Reject The Plan
The distributions available to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests under the Plan can be affected by a variety of contingencies. The occurrence of any and all such contingencies, which could affect distributions available to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests under the Plan, will not affect the validity of the vote taken by the Voting Classes to accept or reject the Plan or require any sort of revote by the Impaired Classes.
7.
Filing Could Adversely Affect The Debtor’s Operations And Relationships
It is possible that announcement of the filing of the Chapter 11 Case could adversely affect the Debtor’s operations and relationships with employees and suppliers, as well as with the federal government. Due to uncertainties, many risks exist, including the following:
employees may be distracted from performance of their duties or more easily attracted to other employment opportunities;
although the Debtor anticipates that Allowed General Unsecured Claims will be paid in full on the Effective Date, holders of such Claims may nevertheless suspend or terminate their relationship with the Debtor, exercise rights of set-off or similar remedies, and/or further restrict ordinary credit terms or require guarantee of payment, either during or after the Chapter 11 Case;
key suppliers could terminate their relationship or require financial assurances or enhanced performance;
trade creditors could require payment in advance or cash on delivery;
the ability to renew existing contracts and compete for new business may be adversely affected;
the ability to pursue acquisitions and obtain financing for such acquisitions may be negatively impacted;





competitors may take business away from the Debtor; and
the operations and relationships of Enrichment Corp, even though not included as a debtor in the Chapter 11 Case, may suffer, which could impair its ability to continue to provide intercompany funding and other support upon which the Debtor relies.
The occurrence of one or more of these events could have a material and adverse effect on the financial condition, operations and prospects of the Debtor.
8.
The Chapter 11 Case May Be Longer Than Expected
The Debtor cannot be certain that the Chapter 11 Case will be of relatively short duration ( e.g. , 60 to 90 days) and will not unduly disrupt its business. It is impossible to predict with certainty the amount of time needed in bankruptcy, and the Debtor cannot be certain that the Plan will be confirmed. Moreover, time limitations exist for which the Debtor has an exclusive right to file a plan before other proponents can propose and file their own plan.
A lengthy Chapter 11 Case would also involve additional expenses and divert the attention of management from operation of the business, as well as create concerns for employees, suppliers and the federal government. Moreover, it may impact the continuing availability of financing from Enrichment Corp under the DIP Facility or impair the ability of Enrichment Corp to provide the Exit Facility. The disruption that such a Chapter 11 Case would inflict upon the business would increase with the length of time it takes to complete the proceeding and the severity of that disruption would depend upon the attractiveness and feasibility of the Plan from the perspective of the constituent parties, including essential employees and suppliers.
If the Debtor is unable to obtain confirmation of the Plan on a timely basis, because of a challenge to the Plan, a failure to obtain an order from the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan, or a failure to satisfy the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan, the Debtor may be forced to operate in bankruptcy for an extended period while trying to develop a different reorganization plan that can be confirmed. A protracted bankruptcy case would increase both the probability and the magnitude of the adverse effects described above. Such a protracted process would also jeopardize the proposed reorganization and the benefits the Debtor expects to obtain therefrom.
9.
Specific Deadlines Contained In The Plan Support Agreements May Not Be Met, Resulting in the Consenting Noteholders, B&W And/Or Toshiba Withdrawing Their Support From The Plan
The Plan Support Agreements contain termination rights that may be exercised by the Majority Consenting Noteholders under the Noteholder Plan Support Agreement, by B&W under the B&W Plan Support Agreement and by Toshiba under the Toshiba Plan Agreement. If any of these termination rights are exercised, the Consenting Noteholders, B&W and/or Toshiba may withdraw their support from the Plan. With respect to the timing of the Chapter 11 Case, termination right will arise if the Confirmation Order is not entered within 100 days after the Petition Date or if the Effective Date of the Plan does not occur within 120 days after the Petition Date.
10.
Tax Implications Of The Plan
The federal income tax consequences of the Plan are complex and are subject to significant uncertainties. The Debtor currently does not intend to seek any ruling from the IRS on the tax consequences of the Plan. Even if the Debtor decides to request a ruling, there would be no assurance that the IRS would rule favorably or that any ruling would be issued before the Effective Date. In addition, in such case, there would still be issues with significant uncertainties, which would not be the subject of any ruling request. Thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the various positions the Debtor has taken, or intends to take, with respect to the tax treatment of the Plan, including the tax treatment of holding any debt or equity issued pursuant to the Plan, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.
B.
RISKS RELATED TO THE DEBTOR’s BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
1.
The Debtor Earns No Revenue And Is Dependent On Intercompany Support From Enrichment Corp
The Debtor has no revenue-generating operations, and all revenue-generating operations are conducted at the subsidiary level. Although the Debtor has been a borrower under a third-party credit facility, that facility, as to which Enrichment Corp was also a borrower and pledgor of collateral, terminated in September 2013. Since that time, the Debtor’s only source of financing has been Enrichment Corp. In addition, the Debtor has obtained funds from the DOE for the RD&D Program, which has a cost-sharing arrangement of 80% from the DOE and 20% from the Debtor. DOE’s share is paid only to reimburse the Debtor for incurred costs, so the Debtor initially funds 100% of the costs of the RD&D Program. The Debtor has satisfied its funding obligations, including its 20% share of costs, through the financing obtained from Enrichment Corp. Although a subsidiary of the Debtor, Enrichment Corp has a separate board of directors (the “ Enrichment Board ”) and its own set of creditors. Thus, the ability of the Debtor to obtain financing and other support from Enrichment Corp is dependent on a determination by the Enrichment Board that such financing is in the interest of Enrichment Corp. Although the Enrichment Board has authorized Enrichment Corp to provide the DIP Facility and the Exit Facility, and to provide the Limited Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the New Notes,





such current and future financing and support are conditional and dependent on Enrichment Corp’s own financial condition. Therefore, in evaluating the risks relating to the Debtor’s business and financial condition, it is necessary to also consider Enrichment Corp’s business and financial condition. Until the American Centrifuge Plant is operational and generating revenue, anything that adversely affects Enrichment Corp will adversely affect the Debtor.
2.
The Cessation Of Enrichment At The Paducah Plant Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On The Company’s Business and Prospects
Enrichment Corp’s Paducah Plant ceased enrichment at the end of May 2013. Enrichment Corp is working to reach an agreement with the DOE regarding the transition of the Paducah Plant and de-lease of the site back to the DOE in the near term. The lease terminates in August 2015 and the DOE has taken the position that Enrichment Corp must maintain the lease through that date. The inability to negotiate an earlier de-lease date could have a material adverse effect on the Debtor’s business and prospects.
Under the Paducah Plant lease, the DOE has the obligation for decontamination and decommissioning of the Paducah Plant. Nevertheless, Enrichment Corp could incur significant costs in connection with the Paducah Plant transition that could put demands on Enrichment Corp’s liquidity and negatively impact the results of operations, including:
Lease Turnover Costs . Enrichment Corp expects to incur significant costs in connection with the return of leased facilities to the DOE. Site expenses, including lease turnover activities and Paducah and Portsmouth retiree benefit costs, were $103.3 million in 2013. Following the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant, costs for plant activities that formerly were capitalized as production costs are now charged directly to cost of sales, including inventory management and disposition, ongoing regulatory compliance, utility requirements for operations, security, and other site management activities related to transition of facilities and infrastructure. As of December 31, 2013, Enrichment Corp had accrued current liabilities for lease turnover costs related to the Paducah Plant totaling approximately $30.4 million. Lease turnover costs are costs incurred in returning the Paducah Plant to the DOE in accordance with the lease, including removing nuclear material as required and removing lessee-generated waste. The actual lease turnover costs could be greater than anticipated, which could result in additional demands on the Enrichment Corp’s liquidity and could negatively impact its results of operations.
Severance Costs . Enrichment Corp has already incurred and expects to incur additional significant severance costs in connection with ceasing enrichment at the Paducah Plant. During the second quarter of 2013, Enrichment Corp initiated an initial workforce reduction of 140 employees that was substantially completed in August 2013. Additional workforce reductions of approximately 206 were made in subsequent months. Further layoffs are expected to occur in stages through 2014, depending on business needs to manage inventory, fulfill customer orders, meet regulatory requirements and transition the site back to the DOE in a safe and orderly manner. Enrichment Corp estimates that it could incur total employee-related severance costs for those Paducah Plant workers remaining after March 1, 2014 of approximately $18 million to $20 million in the event of a full termination of activities at the site without a transfer of employees to another employer. Severance costs may be higher than projected.
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Costs . Enrichment Corp is engaged in discussions with the PBGC regarding their assertion that the Portsmouth Plant transition is a cessation of operations that triggers liability under ERISA Section 4062(e). Enrichment Corp is also in discussions with the PBGC regarding the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant and related transition of employees, including reductions in force. Given the significant number of employees at the Paducah Plant, the amount of any potential liability related to such a transition could be more significant than the preliminary PBGC calculation of the potential ERISA Section 4062(e) liability in connection with the Portsmouth Plant transition of approximately $130 million. If the PBGC determines that liability has been triggered under ERISA Section 4062(e), the PBGC has the right to require the employer to place an amount in escrow or furnish a bond to the PBGC to provide protection in the event the plan terminates within five years in an underfunded state. Alternatively, the employer and the PBGC may enter into an alternative arrangement with respect to any such requirement, such as accelerated funding of the plan or the granting of a security interest. Any such action taken by the PBGC could severely impact Enrichment Corp’s liquidity. Moreover, as a member of the “controlled group,” the Debtor is jointly and severally obligated to the PBGC for any liability of Enrichment Corp under ERISA Section 4062(e).
Other Transition Costs . In addition, other activities that will increase the cost of sales as Enrichment Corp transitions after ceasing enrichment include inventory management and disposition, ongoing regulatory compliance, utility requirements for operations, security, and other site management activities related to transition of leased areas and infrastructure. Although enrichment at the Paducah Plant has ceased, for a period of time Enrichment Corp will still need to lease certain areas used for ongoing operations such as shipping and handling, inventory management and site services, including deliveries to customers of inventory of LEU, and handling of Russian material under the Russian Contract or under the Russian Supply Agreement. Enrichment Corp is currently evaluating the most cost-





effective manner of conducting operations at the Paducah Plant to minimize ongoing costs. However, Enrichment Corp may not be able to achieve the desired cost savings in the timeframe it expects. In addition, there is no assurance that the DOE would accept the areas that Enrichment Corp wishes to de-lease on a schedule that would be cost efficient or meet Enrichment Corp’s timing for deliveries of inventories to customers, fabricators and others.
The cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant could also have significant impacts on Enrichment Corp’s existing business, including:
Assuming the Debtor is able to obtain the necessary financial support to complete the American Centrifuge Project, but as to which there is no certainty, there is expected to be a transition period of several years until the American Centrifuge Plant is in commercial operations, during which Enrichment Corp is no longer enriching uranium but is making sales from its existing inventory and from its future purchases under the Russian Supply Agreement and from other potential sources of supply. As the Paducah Plant transitions, the Company has an objective of minimizing the period of transition until it has a new source of domestic U.S. enrichment production. However, there is currently no definitive timeline for the American Centrifuge Plant deployment to provide this source of production and the economics of the American Centrifuge Project and the Russian Supply Agreement are severely challenged as a result of current enrichment market conditions. Absent a definitive timeline for deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant, efforts to pursue the American Centrifuge Project, to implement the Russian Supply Agreement or to pursue other options, could be adversely affected and could threaten Enrichment Corp’s overall viability.
The cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant could adversely affect Enrichment Corp’s relationships with a variety of stakeholders, including customers. Customers could ask Enrichment Corp to provide adequate assurances of performance under existing contracts that could adversely affect the business. Customers may also not be willing to modify existing contracts, some of which must be revised to permit acceptance of LEU from anticipated supply sources during the transition period. The cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant could also adversely affect the Company’s ability to enter into new contracts with customers, including its ability to contract for the output of the American Centrifuge Plant and for the material purchased under the Russian Supply Agreement. Substantial inventories of SWU are maintained from Enrichment Corp’s production and from deliveries under the Russian Contract and the Russian Supply Agreement, which Enrichment Corp carefully monitors to ensure it can meet its commitments. The ability to maintain inventories and to make deliveries needed to monetize these inventories in order to meet liquidity requirements could be adversely affected if Enrichment Corp lost its right to lease the portions of the Paducah Plant where the inventories are held and could not find alternative space where inventories could be kept and delivered.
All of these factors could have a significant adverse effect on Enrichment Corp’s results of operations and financial condition, and correspondingly on the Debtor’s ability to achieve its strategic initiatives.
3.
The Success Of The Company’s Enrichment Business Depends On Its Ability To Deploy Competitive Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Technology
Enrichment Corp ceased enrichment at the Paducah Plant at the end of May 2013. The Debtor and the AC Subsidiaries are working to commercialize an advanced uranium enrichment centrifuge technology as a replacement for the Paducah Plant. The construction and deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant is a large and capital-intensive undertaking that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties. If the Debtor and the AC Subsidiaries are unable to successfully and timely finance and deploy the American Centrifuge Plant or an alternative enrichment technology on a cost-effective basis, due to the risks and uncertainties described herein or for any other reasons, the Company’s, and each of the Debtor’s and Enrichment Corp’s, gross profit margins, cash flows, liquidity and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected and their business likely would not remain viable over the long term.
4.
Current Enrichment Market Conditions Are Severely Challenging The Economics Of The American Centrifuge Project And The Debtor’s Ability To Finance And Proceed With Commercialization Of The Project
The Debtor is re-evaluating its plan and alternatives for the financing and commercialization of the American Centrifuge Project. Factors that can affect this plan and the economics of the project include key variables related to project cost, schedule, market demand and market prices for LEU, financing costs and other financing terms. An oversupply of nuclear fuel available for sale has increased over time as more than 50 reactors in Japan and Germany have been taken off-line in the aftermath of the March 2011 tsunami that caused irreparable damage to four reactors in Japan. The economics of the project are severely challenged by the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU and related downward pressure on market prices for SWU which are now at their lowest levels in more than a decade. At current market prices, the Debtor does not believe that its plans for commercialization of the American Centrifuge Project are economically viable without additional government support beyond the $2 billion loan guarantee funding that the Debtor has applied for from the DOE. In addition, low prices for competing fuels, such as natural gas, in the United States could slow the deployment of new base load nuclear power capacity and has resulted in





early retirement of five nuclear plants in the United States. Based on current market conditions, the Debtor sees limited uncommitted demand for LEU relative to supply prior to the end of the decade, which could continue to adversely affect market prices. If there is a delay or reduction in the number of Japanese reactor restarts, the supply/demand imbalance and its impact on market prices and therefore project economics could worsen. The Debtor has also experienced construction cost pressures including inflation due to delays in deployment of the project that are impacting the project economics.

5.
DOE Or Congress May Not Extend The RD&D Program And The Debtor Does Not Currently Have Any Financing In Place For The American Centrifuge Project Following Completion Of The RD&D Program
The period of performance under the RD&D Program currently ends on April 15, 2014, and DOE or Congress may not extend the RD&D Program. The Debtor does not currently have any financing in place for the American Centrifuge Project if the RD&D Program is not extended or following completion of the RD&D Program, and it anticipates that funding will be needed for the project for the period from completion of the RD&D program until the receipt of financing for commercial deployment. The amount of any such funding would depend on the level of operations, manufacturing and other project infrastructure that is to be maintained in order to maintain a domestic enrichment capability to meet national security requirements and in order to support a potential future ramp up to commercialization as well as the length of time until financing could be obtained for the plant, and is subject to uncertainty.

The government fiscal year 2014 omnibus appropriations bill passed by Congress and signed by the President on January 17, 2014, appropriated $62 million for the RD&D Program for the government fiscal year through September 2014. That amount includes $29.3 million that had been previously provided under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement pursuant to the continuing resolutions that funded government operations in government fiscal year 2014 prior to the enactment of the omnibus appropriations bill and the additional $22.6 million provided under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement by DOE since passage of the bill. The omnibus appropriations bill also provides the DOE with authority to transfer up to an additional $56.65 million of funding within the DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration appropriations to fund the RD&D Program subject to further approval of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. To obtain such approvals, the Secretary of Energy must notify Congress and submit to the Appropriations Committees a cost-benefit analysis of available and prospective domestic enrichment technologies for national security needs and the scope, schedule and cost of the Secretary’s preferred option. The Debtor has no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining this funding or of the timing thereof. Moreover, the Debtor is dependent on funding from Enrichment Corp to satisfy its 20% cost sharing, which funding is not guaranteed. The Debtor is supporting DOE’s evaluation of a range of options for utilizing the American Centrifuge technology to support national security requirements and believes that extending the RD&D Program or entering into a successor program for the balance of the government fiscal year through September 2014 and beyond is the best option to maintain a domestic enrichment capability to meet national security objectives and potential future commercial deployment. However, there is no assurance that DOE and Congress will extend or enter into a successor RD&D Program or will provide the funding for such a program for the balance of government fiscal year 2014 or in any subsequent government fiscal year. There is no assurance regarding what option, if any, DOE will pursue to maintain a domestic enrichment capability or as to the scope, schedule, cost and funding of such option and whether Congress will support and fund such option. Despite the technical progress being made by the RD&D Program, if the RD&D program is not extended or a successor program is not entered into, if additional funding is not in place at the end of the RD&D Program, if Enrichment Corp discontinues its funding of the Debtor, or if the Debtor determines there is no longer a viable path to commercialization of the American Centrifuge project, the Debtor could demobilize or terminate the project in the near term.

The Debtor is re-evaluating its plan and alternatives for proceeding with the financing and commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge technology, including the availability of additional government support and has initiated discussions with the DOE regarding the project’s need for this support. However, the Debtor has no assurance that it will be successful in achieving any of these measures or the timing thereof. In light of the Debtor’s liquidity, it does not have the ability to continue to fund the American Centrifuge Project at its current levels beyond the end of the RD&D Program without additional government support and even with this support its ability to provide funding throughout 2014 will be limited. Therefore, the Debtor continues to evaluate its options concerning the American Centrifuge Project, including its ability to continue the project prior to or upon completion of the RD&D Program, further demobilization of or delays in the commercial deployment of the project, and termination of the project. The Debtor could make a decision to demobilize or terminate the project in the near term, which would result in severance costs, contractual commitments, contractual termination penalties and other related costs which would impose additional demands, which could be significant, on its liquidity. Such actions may have a material adverse impact on the Debtor’s ability to deploy the American Centrifuge technology, on its liquidity and on the long-term viability of its enrichment business.






If the Debtor is able to obtain the additional government support needed to proceed with commercialization of the American Centrifuge Project, it expects to need at least $4 billion of capital in order to commercially deploy the American Centrifuge Plant. While a portion of that capital could include cash generated by the project during startup and additional capital contributions from Enrichment Corp, the majority of the capital will need to come from third parties. The Debtor has applied for a $2 billion loan guarantee under the DOE Loan Guarantee Program, which was established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and it has also had discussions with Japanese export credit agencies regarding financing up to $1 billion of the cost of completing the American Centrifuge Plant, with such potential financing predicated on receiving a DOE loan guarantee. The Debtor anticipates that under such a financing plan the potential remaining sources for capital could include cash generated by the project during startup, available cash flow from Enrichment Corp’s operations and additional third-party capital. The Debtor would expect that the additional third-party capital would be raised at the project level, including through the issuance of additional equity participation in the project. The Debtor is uncertain regarding the amount of internally generated cash flow from operations that will be available to fund the project in light of the delays in deployment of the project, reduced cash flow from operations as a result of ceasing enrichment at the Paducah Plant and potential requirements for internally generated cash flow to satisfy pension and postretirement benefits and other obligations. The amount of capital that the Debtor would be able to contribute to the project going forward would also impact its share of the ultimate ownership of the project, which would likely be reduced as a result of raising equity and other capital to deploy the project. The Debtor does not currently have any of its own funds available to invest in the equity of American Centrifuge Plant in order to retain a meaningful economic stake in the project to the extent it is commercialized.

In order to successfully raise the necessary capital, the Debtor needs to demonstrate a viable business plan that supports loan repayment and provides potential investors with an attractive return on investment based on the project's risk profile, which as described above is not supported by current enrichment market conditions without additional government support. The Debtor could also take actions to restructure the American Centrifuge Project that could result in changes in its anticipated ownership of or role in the project.

The Debtor Could Demobilize Or Terminate The American Centrifuge Project In The Near Term, Which Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Its Liquidity, Business And Prospects
Actions the Debtor may take with respect to the American Centrifuge Project could have significant adverse consequences on its business. A demobilization or termination of the American Centrifuge Project could raise doubt about the Debtor’s long-term viability and could result in actions by third parties that could give rise to events that individually, or in the aggregate, impose significant demands on its liquidity. For example, the PBGC could take the position that a demobilization of the American Centrifuge Project, either alone or taken together with actions related to the transition of the Paducah Plant, create potential liabilities under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4062(e). A demobilization or termination of the American Centrifuge Project could also result in actions by vendors, customers, creditors and other third parties in response to the Debtor’s actions or based on their view of its financial strength and future business prospects. In addition, the Debtor could incur significant costs in connection with a demobilization or termination of the American Centrifuge Project that could put significant demands on its liquidity. The Debtor currently estimates that it could incur total employee related severance and benefit costs of approximately $16 million for all American Centrifuge workers in the event of a full demobilization of the project. In addition, the Debtor currently estimates ongoing contractual commitments at December 31, 2013, of approximately $32 million. Depending on the length of the demobilization period, the Debtor would also incur significant costs related to the execution of the demobilization in addition to the costs described above. The Debtor’s actual costs could be greater than these estimates. Continued funding to the Debtor from Enrichment Corp would also be in doubt in this scenario.
 
7.
Actions The Debtor Has Taken Or May Take To Reduce Spending On The American Centrifuge Project May Have Adverse Consequences On The American Centrifuge Project
The Debtor is currently limited in the amounts it can spend on the American Centrifuge Project to the amounts available under the RD&D Program, and additional spending reductions may be needed to keep spending within available RD&D funding going forward. There is no assurance that any additional funding for the RD&D Program or the American Centrifuge Project will be made available. The Debtor also does not have a source for continued funding for the American Centrifuge Project after completion of the RD&D Program. Reductions in spending on the American Centrifuge Project or potential demobilization could:
adversely affect the Debtor’s ability to execute the RD&D Program;
cause the Debtor to need to suspend or possibly to terminate contracts with suppliers and contractors involved in the American Centrifuge Project and make it more difficult to maintain key suppliers for the American Centrifuge Plant and the manufacturing infrastructure developed over the last several years;





cause the Debtor to implement worker layoffs and potentially lose key skilled personnel, some of whom have security clearances, which could be difficult to re-hire or replace, and incur severance and other termination costs;
delay efforts to reduce the centrifuge machine cost through value engineering; and
delay deployment of the American Centrifuge Project and increase its overall cost, which could adversely affect the overall economics of the project and the Debtor’s ability to successfully commercialize the American Centrifuge technology.
8.
Failure To Meet Milestones Under The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement Could Result In The DOE Exercising One Or More Remedies Under The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement
The 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement requires the Debtor to develop, demonstrate and deploy advanced enrichment technology in accordance with milestones and provides for remedies in the event of a failure to meet a milestone under certain circumstances, including the following milestones:
May 2014 - Successful completion of the American Centrifuge Cascade Demonstration Test Program
June 2014 - Commitment to proceed with commercial operation
November 2014 - Secure firm financing commitment(s) for the construction of the commercial American Centrifuge Plant with an annual capacity of approximately 3.5 million SWU per year
July 2017 - Begin commercial American Centrifuge Plant operations
September 2018 - Commercial American Centrifuge Plant annual capacity at 1 million SWU per year
September 2020 - Commercial American Centrifuge Plant annual capacity of approximately 3.5 million SWU per year
The DOE has full remedies under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement if the Debtor fails to meet a milestone that would materially impact its ability to begin commercial operations of the American Centrifuge Plant on schedule, and such delay was within the Debtor’s control or was due to its fault or negligence. These remedies include terminating the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement, revoking the Debtor’s access to the DOE’s centrifuge technology that is required for the success of the American Centrifuge Project, requiring the Debtor to transfer certain rights in the American Centrifuge technology and facilities to the DOE, and requiring the Debtor to reimburse the DOE for certain costs associated with the American Centrifuge Project. The Debtor also granted to the DOE an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to use or permit third parties on behalf of the DOE to use all centrifuge technology intellectual property (“ Centrifuge IP ”) royalty free for U.S. government purposes (which includes completion of the cascade demonstration test program and national defense purposes, including providing nuclear material to operate commercial nuclear power reactors for tritium production). The Debtor also granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to the DOE to use such Centrifuge IP developed at its expense for commercial purposes (including a right to sublicense), which may be exercised only if the Debtor misses any of the milestones under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement or if the Debtor (or its affiliate) is no longer willing or able to proceed with, or has determined to abandon or has constructively abandoned, the commercial deployment of the centrifuge technology. Such commercial purposes licenses are subject to payment of an agreed upon royalty rate to the Debtor, not exceed $665 million in the aggregate.
Any of these actions could have a material adverse impact on the Debtor’s business and prospects. Uncertainty surrounding the milestones under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement or the initiation by the DOE of any action or proceeding under the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement could adversely affect the Debtor’s ability to obtain financing for the American Centrifuge Project.

The Continued Effects On The Industry Of The March 11, 2011 Earthquake And Tsunami In Japan Could Materially And Adversely Affect The Company’s Business, Results Of Operations And Prospects
The nuclear fuel industry continues to be affected by the aftermath of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan that irreparably damaged nuclear reactors at Fukushima. The restart of reactors in Japan has taken significantly longer than initially estimated and none of the 50 reactors in Japan is in operation today. Sixteen reactors have begun restart procedures with regulatory authorities, but no reactor is expected to return to operational status before mid-2014. The Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Authority has stated that it will take a minimum of six months to review a reactor seeking to restart, after which utilities must obtain consent from local authorities to commence operations. Germany has shut down eight of its reactors and announced that it will be phasing out all 17 nuclear reactors by 2022. Although Enrichment Corp does not serve any of the German reactors, the shutdown of any reactor contributes to the excess supply in the market.
The events at Fukushima and its aftermath have negatively affected the balance of supply and demand. This impact could continue to grow depending on the length and severity of delays or cancellations of deliveries. Prior to the events in Japan, Japanese demand was approximately 6 million SWU annually. The longer that this demand is reduced or absent from the market, the greater the cumulative impact on the market. Spot-market prices for Enrichment Corp’s products are at their lowest levels in seven years





and this trend could continue or worsen. Suppliers whose deliveries are cancelled or delayed due to shutdown reactors or delays in reactor refuelings have excess supply available to sell in the market. This could adversely affect Enrichment Corp’s success in selling LEU. Decreases in SWU prices could also adversely affect the Debtor’s ability to finance and deploy the American Centrifuge Plant. The events have created significant uncertainty and the Company’s business, cash flow, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Enrichment Corp has long been a leading supplier of LEU to Japan and TEPCO, owner of the Fukushima plant, has historically been one of Enrichment Corp’s largest customers. Sales to Japanese utility customers in 2013 were approximately $105 million. As of December 31, 2013, estimated future revenue from Japanese utilities under contracts in backlog is expected to be approximately 26% of the total backlog. A portion of these contracts are requirements contracts and therefore sales to Japanese utility customers with such contracts could be delayed or ultimately canceled depending on how quickly their reactors return to service. If deliveries under contracts included in Enrichment Corp’s backlog are significantly delayed, modified or canceled, because purchases are tied to requirements or because customers seek to limit their obligations under existing contracts, Enrichment Corp’s revenues and earnings may be materially and adversely impacted, with a corresponding impact on the Debtor’s financial condition and prospects.
The effects of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and other market conditions, have impacted the Debtor’s ability to finance and deploy the American Centrifuge Plant, including obtaining financing in the timeframe needed and the overall economics of the project. Funding following the RD&D Program, as well as the economics, financing and timing of commercial deployment, are uncertain. The DOE loan guarantee process has taken longer than anticipated and there may be additional delays that could adversely affect the Debtor’s ability to successfully finance and deploy the American Centrifuge Plant. The Debtor’s ability to finance the project could also be further adversely impacted by the potential extended duration of the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU. In addition, while the Debtor has discussed with Japanese export credit agencies financing up to $1 billion of the cost of completing the American Centrifuge Plant, these discussions could be adversely affected by the impacts of the events in Japan and the delay in commercial deployment. There is no assurance that the Japanese export credit agencies will not shift their priorities in the future or otherwise be unable to provide financing in the amount needed. If the Debtor’s ability to obtain Japanese export credit agency financing was adversely affected, this would also adversely affect the ability to obtain a DOE loan guarantee and complete the American Centrifuge Plant.
The March 2011 events in Japan could also have a material and adverse impact on the nuclear energy industry in the long term. The impact of the events could harm the public’s perception of nuclear power and could raise public opposition to the planned future construction of nuclear plants. Some countries may delay or abandon deployment of nuclear power as a result of the events in Japan. Italy has renewed its moratorium on nuclear power and other European Union countries are reviewing their future plans for nuclear power. Countries have undertaken new safety evaluations of their plants and how well they operate in situations involving earthquakes and other natural disasters and other situations involving the loss of power. Several investment banks have exited uranium trading in the past few months and spot demand has declined. The uranium market continues to be oversupplied and prices remain under downward pressure because of the continued delay of reactor restarts in Japan. Demand for nuclear fuel could be negatively affected by such actions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and prospects.
Any resulting increased public opposition to nuclear power could lead to political opposition and could slow the pace of global licensing and construction of new or planned nuclear power facilities or negatively impact existing facilities’ efforts to extend their operating licenses. The events could also result in additional permitting requirements and burdensome regulations that increase costs or have other negative impacts and could raise concerns regarding potential risks associated with certain reactor designs or nuclear power production. Since Fukushima, the NRC staff has issued requirements for design-basis enhancements to improve U.S. nuclear safety. The implementation of these plant upgrades has been projected to cost approximately $3.6 billion over three to five years. This could adversely affect the economic viability of the facilities of the Company’s customers. The events in Japan have also raised concerns regarding how to deal with spent fuel, which could result in additional burdensome regulations or costs to the nuclear industry which could potentially impact demand for LEU. These events could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and prospects.

Enrichment Corp Is Entirely Dependent On Purchases Of Russian LEU And Existing Inventory To Meet Its Obligations To Customers
With the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant, Enrichment Corp is now entirely dependent on purchases of Russian LEU and existing inventory to meet its obligations to customers. A significant delay in, or stoppage or termination of, deliveries of LEU from Russia under the Russian Supply Agreement or a failure of the LEU to meet quality specifications set forth in such agreements, could adversely affect Enrichment Corp’s ability to make deliveries to customers and would adversely affect revenues and results of operations. A delay, stoppage or termination could occur due to a number of factors, including logistical or technical problems with shipments, commercial or political disputes between the parties or their governments, or a failure or inability by either party to meet the terms of such agreements. Geopolitical events, including domestic or international reactions or responses to such events and subsequent government or international actions, could also impact Enrichment Corp’s





ability to purchase, sell or make deliveries of LEU from Russia to customers. An interruption of deliveries under the Russian Supply Agreement could, depending on the length of such an interruption, threaten Enrichment Corp’s ability to fulfill these delivery commitments with adverse effects on Enrichment Corp’s reputation, costs, results of operations, cash flows and long-term viability. Depending upon the reasons for the interruption and subject to limitations of liability and force majeure terms under sales contracts as well as the availability, cost and terms of alternative sources of supply,, Enrichment Corp could be required to compensate customers for a failure or delay in delivery. Any adverse effects experienced by Enrichment Corp will have corresponding impact on the Debtor’s business and prospects.
11.
Enrichment Corp May Be Unable To Sell All Of The Commercial Russian LEU That It Purchases Under The Russian Supply Agreement For Prices That Cover Its Purchase Costs, Which Could Adversely Affect Its Profitability And The Viability Of Its Business; Restrictions On U.S. Imports Of LEU Could Adversely Affect The Ability To Sell Commercial Russian LEU Purchased Under The Russian Supply Agreement
Enrichment Corp may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the Russian Supply Agreement because of current market prices for LEU and restrictions on U.S. imports of LEU and other uranium products produced in the Russian Federation. The price Enrichment Corp is charged for the SWU component of Russian LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement is determined by a formula that combines a mix of price points and other pricing elements. A multi-year retrospective view of market-based price points in the formula is used to minimize the disruptive effect of short-term swings in these price points, but may result in prices that are not aligned with the prevailing market prices when those prices are depressed, as is currently the case. Currently, the price Enrichment Corp is paying for Russian LEU is above market prices. Further, there are floor prices applicable to the calculation of the price for such SWU. While the agreement provides for reexamination of a key element of the pricing formula in later years to account for significant increases or decreases in market prices, there can be no assurance that this will result in a reduction in the price Enrichment Corp would pay in those years. These factors may limit Enrichment Corp’s ability to make new sales at prices that exceed the purchase price it pays for the Russian LEU. While the prices included in its existing sales contracts in its backlog currently exceed the price Enrichment Corp pays for Russian LEU, Enrichment Corp’s ability to place Russian LEU into its backlog contracts is subject to the limitations.

As stated previously, the Russian Supply Agreement provides for the supply by TENEX of commercial Russian LEU to Enrichment Corp over a ten-year period with deliveries beginning in 2013. Sales of Russian LEU are more challenging than sales of material produced by Enrichment Corp. Some of Enrichment Corp’s customers are unable or unwilling to accept Russian LEU. In addition, Enrichment Corp may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the Russian Supply Agreement because of restrictions on U.S. imports of LEU and other uranium products produced in the Russian Federation. These imports (other than LEU imported under the Russian Contract under the Megatons to Megawatts program) are subject to quotas imposed under legislation enacted into law in September 2008 and under the 1992 Russian Suspension Agreement, as amended. Under the new Russian Supply Agreement, Enrichment Corp has the right to use a portion of the import quotas to support its sales in the United States of SWU purchased under the Russian Supply Agreement beginning in 2014. Further, prior to the expiration of the quotas at the end of 2020, Enrichment Corp will not be able to import for consumption in the United States LEU delivered to Enrichment Corp under the Russian Supply Agreement in excess of the portion of the quotas available to it. This restriction does not apply to imports that are not subject to the quotas (e.g., for use in initial fuel cores for any U.S. nuclear reactors entering service for the first time). Enrichment Corp expects to exhaust its inventory in late 2015 or early 2016. Enrichment Corp’s existing contractual obligations to United States customers in 2016 and 2017 exceed Enrichment Corp’s allotted portion of the import quota. To the extent Enrichment Corp is unable to procure LEU from the American Centrifuge Plant at that time, Enrichment Corp will be required to procure LEU from other sources to service its United States customers. Further, the LEU that Enrichment Corp cannot sell for consumption in the United States will have to be sold for consumption by utilities outside the United States, but the ability to sell to those utilities may be limited by policies of foreign governments or regional institutions that seek to restrict the amount of Russian LEU purchased by utilities under their jurisdiction. Accordingly, there is no assurance that Enrichment Corp will be successful in its efforts to sell this LEU in the United States or outside of the United States.
12.
The Company’s Defined Benefit Pension Plans Are Underfunded
Each of the Debtor and Enrichment Corp maintain qualified defined benefit pension plans which together cover approximately 7,100 current and former employees and retirees, including approximately 881 active employees. These pension plans are guaranteed by the PBGC, a wholly owned U.S. government corporation that was created by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ ERISA ”). At December 31, 2013, these plans were underfunded (based on generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”)) by approximately $123 million. Under ERISA, as both the Debtor and Enrichment Corp are members of the “controlled group,” the Debtor is jointly and severally obligated to the PBGC for any liability of Enrichment Corp under ERISA Section 4062(e), and Enrichment Corp is jointly and severally obligated to the PBGC for any liability of the Debtor under ERISA Section 4062(e).





On September 30, 2011, Enrichment Corp completed the de-lease of the Portsmouth Plant and transition of employees performing government services work to the DOE’s decontamination and decommissioning contractor. Enrichment Corp notified the PBGC of this occurrence. Pursuant to ERISA Section 4062(e), if an employer ceases operations at a facility in any location and, as a result, more than 20% of the employer’s employees who are participants in a PBGC-covered pension plan established and maintained by the employer are separated, the PBGC has the right to require the employer to place an amount in escrow or furnish a bond to the PBGC to provide protection in the event the plan terminates within five years in an underfunded state. Alternatively, the employer and the PBGC may enter into an alternative arrangement with respect to any such requirement, such as accelerated funding of the plan or the granting of a security interest. The PBGC could also elect not to require any further action by the employer. The PBGC has informally advised Enrichment Corp of its preliminary view that the Portsmouth Plant transition is a cessation of operations that triggers liability under ERISA Section 4062(e) and that its preliminary estimate is that the ERISA Section 4062(e) liability (computed taking into account the plan’s underfunding on a “termination basis,” which amount differs from that computed for GAAP purposes) for the Portsmouth Plant transition is approximately $130 million. Enrichment Corp informed the PBGC that it does not agree with the PBGC’s view that ERISA Section 4062(e) liability was triggered in 2011, and also disputes the amount of the preliminary PBGC calculation of the potential ERISA Section 4062(e) liability. In addition, Enrichment Corp believes that the DOE is responsible for a significant portion of any pension costs associated with the transition of employees at the Portsmouth Plant. Enrichment Corp plans to engage in further discussions with the PBGC, but has not reached a resolution with the PBGC and there is no assurance that a consensual resolution will be reached.
With respect to Enrichment Corp’s Paducah Plant, which ceased enrichment at the end of May 2013, the PBGC could take the position that ceasing enrichment or other transition actions at the Paducah Plant, either alone or taken together with actions related to the transition of the Paducah Plant, could create additional potential liabilities under ERISA Section 4062(e). Enrichment Corp would seek to defend against this position based on the facts and circumstances at the time. Given the significant number of employees who were employed at the Paducah Plant prior to the cessation of enrichment, the amount of any potential liability related to the cessation of enrichment or other transition actions at the Paducah Plant could be more significant than the preliminary PBGC calculation of the potential ERISA Section 4062(e) liability in connection with the Portsmouth Plant transition of approximately $130 million. In the event that ceasing enrichment or other transition actions at Paducah constitutes a cessation of operations that triggers liability under ERISA Section 4062(e), the potential amount of any liability would depend on various factors, including the amount of any underfunding under the affected defined benefit pension plan (also computed based on the plan’s underfunding on a “termination basis”), taking into account plan asset performance and changes in interest rates used to value liabilities, as well as the number of employees who are participants in the affected plan prior to any covered event and the number of such employees who leave the plan as a result of any such event, and whether the pension obligations are transferred to a subsequent employer on the site. In light of current demands on Enrichment Corp’s liquidity, depending on the timing and amount of any requirement to satisfy any such liability, Enrichment Corp might not have the cash needed to do so, which could have a material adverse effect on its liquidity and prospects. This would in turn impact the Debtor, not only because it is jointly and severally liable with Enrichment Corp, but also because it is currently dependent on Enrichment Corp for financing.
In addition, despite the technical progress being made by the RD&D Program, the Debtor could still determine to demobilize the project in the event the RD&D Program is not extended or in the event of lack of long-term funding for the RD&D Program or lack of prospects for successful financing and commercialization of the American Centrifuge Project. The PBGC could take the position that a future decision to demobilize the American Centrifuge Program, either alone or taken together with the cessation of enrichment at the Portsmouth Plant and Paducah Plant, could create additional potential liabilities under ERISA Section 4062(e) with respect to the Debtor’s pension plan, the amount of which would depend on the various factors described above. The Debtor would also seek to defend against this position based on the facts and circumstances at the time. In light of current demands on the Debtor’s liquidity, as well as on Enrichment Corp’s liquidity, which would have joint and several liability with the Debtor, depending on the timing and amount of any requirement to satisfy any such liability, the Debtor or Enrichment Corp might not have the cash needed to do so, which could have a material adverse effect on their respective liquidity and prospects.
13.
Even If The Debtor Successfully Completes The RD&D Program, It May Not Obtain A Loan Guarantee From The DOE And Other Financing Needed For The Project And Could Demobilize Or Terminate The Project
The Debtor applied for a $2 billion loan guarantee under the DOE Loan Guarantee Program in July 2008. Instead of moving forward with a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee, in the fall of 2011, the DOE proposed the RD&D Program. The DOE indicated that the application for a DOE loan guarantee would remain pending during the RD&D Program but has given no assurance that a successful RD&D Program will result in a loan guarantee. The Debtor intends to continue to pursue financing for the American Centrifuge Plant, including a DOE loan guarantee; however, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining a DOE loan guarantee. Factors that could affect the Debtor’s ability to obtain a DOE loan guarantee include:
the ability to address the DOE’s technical concerns to the DOE’s satisfaction through the RD&D Program;
the ability to address the DOE’s financial concerns to the DOE’s satisfaction, including the Debtor’s inability to confirm and consummate the Plan, thereby achieving the balance sheet restructuring contemplated by the Plan, or a





determination by DOE that the balance sheet restructuring achieved through the Plan is inadequate to address its financial concerns;
the ability to address any additional concerns that may be raised by the DOE as part of its review of the Debtor’s loan guarantee application in the future;
the ability to demonstrate to the DOE that the Debtor can obtain the capital needed to complete the American Centrifuge Plant;
reliance on the continued support of the Debtor’s strategic investors, Toshiba and B&W;
the ability to reach agreement with the DOE regarding the terms of a loan guarantee conditional commitment;
the outcome of any reviews of the Debtor’s loan guarantee application by the DOE credit group, the Office of Management and Budget, the Department of the Treasury and the National Economic Council, including uncertainty regarding the Debtor’s ability to achieve a manageable credit subsidy cost estimate and to fund any potential capital shortfall that would be created by a high credit subsidy cost; and
uncertainty regarding the continuation of the DOE Loan Guarantee Program, including the impact of defaults and related investigations under the DOE Loan Guarantee Program.
In light of the Debtor’s inability to obtain a conditional commitment for the DOE loan guarantee to date, and given the significant uncertainty surrounding the prospects for obtaining a DOE loan guarantee and the timing thereof, the Debtor continues to evaluate its options concerning the American Centrifuge Project. Evaluation of these options is ongoing and a decision could be made at any time to pursue one or more of these options. The Debtor may also take actions in the future if it determines at any time that it does not see a path forward to the receipt of a loan guarantee conditional commitment or if it sees further delay or increased uncertainty with respect to its prospects for obtaining a loan guarantee and commercializing the American Centrifuge Project, or for other reasons, including as needed to preserve its liquidity. Further cuts in project spending and staffing could make it even more difficult to remobilize the project and could lead to more significant delays and increased costs and potentially make the project uneconomic. Termination of the American Centrifuge Project could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and prospects because the long-term competitive position of its enrichment business depends on the successful deployment of competitive gas centrifuge enrichment technology.
14.
Apart From A DOE Loan Guarantee, Commercialization Of The American Centrifuge Technology Will Require Additional External Financial And Other Support That May Be Difficult To Secure
The Debtor may not be able to attract the financing it needs to complete the American Centrifuge Project in a timely manner or at all. The Debtor has had discussions with Japanese export credit agencies (“ ECAs ”) regarding financing up to $1 billion of the cost of completing the American Centrifuge Plant. Any Japanese ECA financing will be subject to the terms and conditions negotiated with the lenders and the Debtor will need to satisfy any technical, financial and other conditions to funding in order to close on the financing. The Debtor is dependent on Toshiba's support for these discussions. In addition, the Debtor’s ability to obtain Japanese ECA financing is also dependent upon the project receiving a DOE loan guarantee. There is no assurance that the Debtor will obtain this financing.
The Debtor also expects to need at least $1 billion of capital to complete the project in addition to the DOE loan guarantee and the Japanese ECA funding. The amount of additional capital is dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of any revised cost estimate and schedule for the project, the amount of contingency or other capital the DOE may require as part of a loan guarantee, and the amount of the DOE credit subsidy cost that would be required to be paid in connection with a loan guarantee. The Debtor currently anticipates the sources for this capital to include cash generated by the project during startup, available cash flow from Enrichment Corp’s operations and additional third-party capital. The Debtor expects that additional third-party capital would be raised at the project level, including through the issuance of additional equity participation in the project. However, there is no assurance that the Debtor will be able to raise this capital in the timeframe needed or at all. Raising additional equity or other capital to deploy the project could significantly reduce the Debtor’s anticipated share of the ultimate ownership of the project and it could determine to terminate the project. Factors that could affect the Debtor’s ability to obtain Japanese ECA financing or other financing needed to complete the American Centrifuge Plant or the cost of such financing include:
the ability to get loan guarantees or other support from the U.S. government;
the continued participation of the Debtor’s strategic investors Toshiba and B&W;
the ability to address the financial concerns identified by the DOE;
potential shifts in the priorities of Japanese ECAs as a result of the March 2011 events in Japan or other factors outside of the Debtor’s control;





the ability to satisfy the DOE that efforts the Debtor has taken, including with respect to the RD&D Program and other efforts to reduce technology risk have addressed their concerns;
the estimated costs, efficiency, timing and return on investment of the deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant;
the ability to secure and maintain a sufficient number of long-term SWU purchase commitments from customers on satisfactory terms, including adequate prices, in particular in light of uncertainty regarding the potential duration of the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU;
the level of success of Enrichment Corp’s current operations and the amount of internally generated cash flow from operations that it has available to finance the project and potential requirements for internally generated cash flow to satisfy pension and postretirement benefits and other obligations;
the willingness of Enrichment Corp to invest any excess cash in the American Centrifuge Plant and the terms of any such investment;
SWU prices and current and anticipated future SWU market conditions and the impact on the overall economics of the American Centrifuge Plant and the Debtor’s ability to attract the necessary capital;
the Debtor’s perceived competitive position and investor confidence in its industry and in the Debtor;
projected costs for the decontamination and decommissioning of the American Centrifuge Plant, and the impact of related financial assurance requirements;
concerns about the Company’s perceived financial strength, including as a result of significant net losses in recent years, its ability to obtain or delays in obtaining confirmation of the Plan, and uncertainty regarding the ability to continue as a going concern;
the Debtor’s credit rating;
market price and volatility of the Debtor’s common stock, including the New Common Stock to be issued under the Plan;
general economic and capital market conditions;
the continuing impact of the March 2011 events in Japan;
conditions in energy markets;
regulatory developments, including changes in laws and regulations;
reliance on LEU delivered to Enrichment Corp under the Russian Supply Agreement, and uncertainty regarding deliveries and market based components of prices under the Russian Supply Agreement, and limitations on its ability to sell commercial Russian LEU purchased under the Russian Supply Agreement;
restrictive covenants in the Exit Facility, the New Indenture and any future financing arrangements that limit operating and financial flexibility; and
adverse reactions to the Debtor’s filing for chapter 11 relief which cause potential financing partners to decline participation in the funding of the American Centrifuge Project.
15.
Increased Costs And Cost Uncertainty Could Adversely Affect The Debtor’s Ability To Finance And Deploy The American Centrifuge Plant
As the Debtor executes the RD&D Program, it is reevaluating its approach to the commercial deployment of the technology, including the development of a comprehensive revised construction cost estimate and schedule for the commercial deployment. The Debtor continues to expect the funding needed to complete the project to be substantial. There are significant carrying costs associated with the project and maintaining the manufacturing infrastructure. Following the RD&D Program or if additional funding to extend the RD&D Program is not provided in a timely manner or at all, these costs would have to be borne by the Debtor. Such additional carrying costs could further threaten the overall economics of the project, and the Debtor currently does not have any funding in place to meet any such costs.
In connection with obtaining any financing in the future for commercial deployment, including as part of any submittal of a future update to its application with the DOE Loan Guarantee Office and other American Centrifuge commercialization efforts, the Debtor would need to resume negotiating with suppliers regarding the transition to fixed cost or maximum cost contracts to complete the project. However, these suppliers may not be willing to provide fixed cost or maximum cost contracts on terms that are acceptable to the Debtor or potential lenders or at all. The cost and schedule for the project would depend on a large variety of factors, including how the Debtor ultimately deploys the project and the timing thereof, decisions by DOE and Congress on whether to extend, revise or terminate the RD&D Program and on the preferred option (if any) for maintaining a domestic enrichment





capability to meet national security requirements as well as the scope, schedule, cost and funding for such option, the outcome of future discussions with suppliers, changes in commodity and other costs, and the ability to develop and implement cost saving and value engineering actions. There is no assurance that the Debtor will achieve required schedule or target costs for the project which could increase costs for the project and further threaten its ability to develop a viable business plan for commercial deployment that supports loan repayment and provides potential investors with an attractive return on investment based on the project's risk profile, which as described above is not supported by current enrichment market conditions without additional government support.
Further increases in the cost of the American Centrifuge Plant would increase the amount of external capital the Debtor must raise and would adversely affect its ability to successfully finance and deploy the American Centrifuge Plant. The Debtor cannot assure investors that the costs associated with the American Centrifuge Plant will not be materially higher than anticipated or that efforts taken to mitigate or minimize cost increases will be successful or sufficient. Cost estimates and budget for the American Centrifuge Plant have been, and will continue to be, based on many assumptions that are subject to change as new information becomes available or as events occur. Regardless of the Debtor’s success in implementing the RD&D Program, uncertainty surrounding its ability to accurately estimate costs or to limit potential cost increases could jeopardize its ability to successfully finance and deploy the American Centrifuge Plant. Inability to finance and deploy the American Centrifuge Plant could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and prospects because the long-term competitive position of the Company’s enrichment business depends on the successful deployment of competitive gas centrifuge enrichment technology.

The Centrifuge Machines And Supporting Equipment Deployed In The American Centrifuge Plant May Not Meet Performance Or Availability Targets Over The Life Of The Project
The target output for the American Centrifuge Plant is based on assumptions regarding performance and availability of centrifuge machines and related equipment and actual performance may be different than expected. Factors that can influence performance include:
the performance and reliability of individual centrifuge components built by strategic suppliers;
the availability and performance of plant support systems;
the operable lives of individual components and the level of maintenance required to sustain overall plant availability;
the ability to acquire or manufacture replacement parts for centrifuges or plant support systems when needed; and
differences in actual commercial plant conditions from the conditions used to establish and test design criteria.
The AC100 machines built as part of the RD&D Program are expected to operate at the targeted performance level of 350 SWU per machine, per year over their 30-year lifetimes. The Debtor achieved the 350 SWU performance target during the RD&D Program. However, failure to achieve targeted performance over the life of the American Centrifuge Plant could affect the overall economics of the American Centrifuge Plant and the ability to finance and successfully deploy the project. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and prospects.
17.
The Debtor Relies On Third-Party Suppliers For Key Components For The AC 100 Machine For The RD&D Program And The American Centrifuge Plant
The Debtor relies on third-party suppliers for key American Centrifuge components. Although spending on the American Centrifuge Project has been reduced, the Debtor continues to purchase from suppliers key components for the AC100 machines that are being assembled and built as part of the RD&D Program. In the event the project is ramped up, the dependence on key suppliers will increase. The failure of any of the suppliers to provide their respective components as scheduled or at all or of the quality and the precise specifications needed could result in substantial delays in, or otherwise materially hamper, the deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant.
There are a limited number of potential suppliers for these key components and finding alternate suppliers could be difficult, time consuming and costly. Because of this, the Debtor’s ability to obtain favorable contractual terms with these suppliers is limited. The Debtor may also have issues with respect to the retention of key suppliers as a result of reduced spending or as a result of further delays in commercial deployment, which could adversely affect the Debtor’s ability to remobilize.
The Debtor could face challenges with ensuring the ability and willingness of strategic suppliers to continue at low rates of production for a prolonged period of time absent greater certainty on timing for financing and a definitive timeline for commercialization and full remobilization. While executing the RD&D Program, the Debtor expects to continue its current agreements with suppliers in which the Debtor bears certain cost, schedule and performance risk. Although the Debtor will seek to manage these risks, no assurances can be provided that the Debtor will be able to do so. This could result in cost increases and unanticipated delays. The Debtor’s inability to effectively integrate these suppliers and other key third-party suppliers could also result in delays and otherwise increase costs. Delays could also occur if the Debtor decides to search for alternate suppliers or to self-perform certain items that it previously anticipated outsourcing to third-party suppliers.





18.
The Debtor Is Dependent On The Continued Cooperation And Support Of Toshiba And B&W
Toshiba and B&W have been important strategic partners to the Debtor in its effort to deploy the American Centrifuge Project. Their support was evidenced in the investment transactions that resulted in Toshiba and B&W acquiring the USEC Preferred Stock and agreeing to make additional investments conditioned upon, among other things, progress in obtaining a loan guarantee from the DOE. Although the conditions were not satisfied prior to the Petition Date, and thus no additional investments were made, Toshiba and B&W have continued to evidence their support by entering into, respectively, the Toshiba Plan Support Agreement and the B&W Plan Support Agreement. Under these Plan Support Agreements, Toshiba and B&W have agreed to discuss in good faith possible future funding to the American Centrifuge Project, subject to certain conditions. As discussed above, these Plan Support Agreements contain termination rights that may be exercised by B&W and/or Toshiba. If any of these termination rights are exercised, B&W and/or Toshiba may withdraw their support from the Plan, as may the Consenting Noteholders.
If either Toshiba or B&W were to withdraw their support for the American Centrifuge Project, that could have a significant adverse impact on the Debtor’s ability to deploy the American Centrifuge Plant and on the Debtor’s business and prospects. Toshiba and B&W participate in the enhanced program execution structure required by the DOE for the RD&D Program. Under the RD&D Cooperative Agreement the Debtor entered into with the DOE, the Debtor and its non-debtor subsidiary AC Demonstration carry out the RD&D Program. AC Demonstration has put in place a program management and enhanced program execution structure as required by the RD&D Cooperative Agreement, which includes participation by Toshiba and B&W. In addition, the ability to obtain Japanese ECA financing is highly dependent on the continued support by Toshiba. If the ability to obtain Japanese ECA financing were adversely affected, this would also adversely affect the Debtor’s ability to obtain a DOE loan guarantee and complete the American Centrifuge Plant.
19.
The Debtor May Not Realize The Expected Benefits Of Strategic Relationships With Toshiba Or B&W
Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor entered into a strategic relationship agreement with Toshiba and B&W that provided a process to explore potential business opportunities throughout the nuclear fuel cycle. That agreement will continue under the Plan, and the Plan provides for a Supplementary Strategic Relationship Agreement to be entered into with Toshiba and B&W. However, the realization of the expected benefits of these strategic relationships is subject to a number of risks, including:
success in potential efforts to sell LEU in connection with Toshiba’s nuclear power plant proposals, including Toshiba’s success in nuclear reactor sales;
success in achieving cost savings and other benefits through the manufacturing joint venture with B&W;
success in reaching agreement on and meeting the conditions for any additional investment by B&W or Toshiba in the American Centrifuge Project; and
success in strengthening American Centrifuge Project execution depth through the Debtor’s relationship with Toshiba and B&W.
The Debtor may not achieve the perceived benefits of the strategic relationships to the extent anticipated, which could have an adverse impact on the perceived benefits of these strategic relationships transactions and the Debtor’s prospects.
20.
The Ability To Retain Key Personnel Is Critical To The Success Of The Company’s Business
The success of the Company’s business depends on key executives, managers and other skilled personnel. The ability to retain these key personnel may be difficult in light of the Debtor’s filing for chapter 11 relief, the uncertainties currently facing the business and changes the Company may make to the organizational structure to adjust to changing circumstances. The Debtor or any of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries may need to enter into retention or other arrangements that could be costly to maintain. The Company does not have employment agreements with its corporate executives or other key personnel, nor does it have key man life insurance policies. If executives, managers or other key personnel resign, retire or are terminated, or their service is otherwise interrupted, the Company may not be able to replace them in a timely manner and it could experience significant declines in productivity. In addition, some of the key personnel are involved in the development of the centrifuge technology and many of them have security clearances. The loss of these key personnel could result in delays in the deployment of the American Centrifuge Project. Given the proprietary nature of centrifuge technology, the Debtor is also at risk as to its intellectual property if key employees resign to work for a competitor.
21.
Changes In The Price For SWU Or Uranium Could Affect Gross Profit Margins And Ability To Service Indebtedness And Finance The American Centrifuge Project
As previously discussed, the events at Fukushima and its aftermath have negatively affected the balance of supply and demand and there is limited uncommitted demand for LEU prior to the end of the decade. This supply/demand imbalance was reflected in lower uranium and nuclear fuel prices during 2012 and 2013. These spot-market prices for the Company’s products are at their lowest levels in seven years. Changes in the price for SWU and uranium are also influenced by numerous other factors, such as:





LEU and uranium production levels and costs in the industry;
actions taken by governments to regulate, protect or promote trade in nuclear material, including the continuation of existing restrictions on unfairly priced imports;
actions taken by governments to narrow, reduce or eliminate limits on trade in nuclear material, including the decrease or elimination of existing restrictions on unfairly priced imports;
the release by governments of stockpiles of enriched and natural uranium without consideration of the adverse impact of the availability of those stockpiles on producers;
actions of competitors;
exchange rates;
availability and cost of alternate fuels; and
inflation.
The long-term nature of SWU sales contracts with customers delays the impact of any material change in market prices and may prolong any adverse impact of low market prices on gross profit margins. For example, even if prices increase and new higher-priced contracts are secured, the contractual obligation under contracts signed prior to the increase is to deliver LEU and uranium at the lower prices. A decrease in the price for SWU could also affect the Company’s future ability to service its indebtedness and finance the American Centrifuge Project.
The price Enrichment Corp is charged for the SWU component of Russian LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement is determined by a formula that combines a mix of price points and other pricing elements. A multi-year retrospective view of market-based price points in the formula is used to minimize the disruptive effect of short-term swings in these price points, but may result in prices that are not aligned with the prevailing market prices when those prices are depressed, as is currently the case. Currently, the price Enrichment Corp is paying for Russian LEU is above market prices. Further, there are floor prices applicable to the calculation of the price for such SWU. While the agreement provides for reexamination of a key element of the pricing formula in later years to account for significant increases or decreases in market prices, there can be no assurance that this will result in a reduction in the price Enrichment Corp would pay in those years. These factors may limit Enrichment Corp’s ability to make new sales at prices that exceed the purchase price it pays for the Russian LEU. While the prices included in its existing sales contracts in its backlog currently exceed the price Enrichment Corp pays for Russian LEU, its ability to place Russian LEU into its backlog contracts is subject to limitations.
22.
The Company Faces Significant Competition From Three Major Producers Who May Be Less Cost Sensitive Or May Be Favored Due To National Loyalties And From Emerging Competitors In The Domestic Market
The Company, currently through Enrichment Corp, competes with three major producers of LEU, all of which are wholly or substantially owned by governments: Areva (France), Rosatom/TENEX (Russia) and Urenco (Germany, Netherlands and the United Kingdom). These competitors use centrifuge technology to enrich uranium. In addition, Urenco and Rosatom/TENEX are currently expanding their centrifuge production capacity.
There is also the potential that any of these suppliers will further increase their expansion rates from what they have announced, or for Areva to proceed with a currently suspended planned expansion in the United States. All of these represent competition in the Company’s efforts to sell SWU, including output from the American Centrifuge Plant. The Company also faces competition from China and others.
The Company’s competitors have greater financial resources than the Company does, including access to below-market financing terms. Foreign competitors enjoy support from their government owners, which may enable them to be less cost- or profit-sensitive than the Company. In addition, decisions by foreign competitors may be influenced by political and economic policy considerations rather than commercial considerations. For example, foreign competitors may elect to increase their production or exports of LEU, even when not justified by market conditions, thereby depressing prices and reducing demand for LEU, which could adversely affect the Company’s revenues, cash flows and results of operations. Similarly, the elimination or weakening of existing restrictions on imports from foreign competitors could adversely affect the Company’s revenues, cash flows and results of operations.
Imports of LEU and other uranium products produced in the Russian Federation are subject to quotas through 2020 imposed under legislation enacted into law in September 2008 and under the Russian Suspension Agreement. Although the Company believes these limitations will preserve a stable U.S. market, this belief may prove to be wrong.





23.
Dependence On The Company’s Largest Customers Could Adversely Affect The Company
Enrichment Corp’s 10 largest customers in the LEU segment represented 71% of total revenue in 2013, and the three largest customers in the LEU segment represented 39% of total revenue in 2013. Revenue from Energy Northwest under the depleted uranium enrichment arrangement represented approximately 23% of total revenue in 2012 and this agreement has now ended. A reduction in purchases from Enrichment Corp’s other largest customers, whether due to their decision not to purchase optional quantities or for other reasons, including a disruption in their operations that reduces their need for LEU from us, could adversely affect Enrichment Corp’s business and results of operations, with a corresponding negative impact upon the Debtor.
Enrichment Corp is seeing increased price competition as competitors and secondary suppliers lower their prices to sell excess supply created by current market conditions. This has adversely affected the sales efforts of Enrichment Corp and of the Debtor for the American Centrifuge Plant. Because price is a significant factor in a customer’s choice of a supplier of LEU, when contracts come up for renewal, customers may reduce their purchases from Enrichment Corp if it is not able to compete on price, resulting in the loss of new sales contracts. Historically, the Debtor’s ability to compete on price has been limited by Enrichment Corp’s higher operating costs at the Paducah Plant than competitors who operated centrifuge facilities and are protected from competition in their home markets. The Debtor, through AC Enrichment, also must sell the potential future output of the American Centrifuge Plant under long term contracts on price and other terms that will support a reasonable business case and financing for the American Centrifuge Plant. Once lost, customers may be difficult to regain because they typically purchase LEU under long-term contracts. Therefore, given the need to maintain existing customer relationships, particularly with the largest customers, the Company’s ability to raise prices in order to respond to increases in costs or other developments may be limited. In addition, because Enrichment Corp has a fixed commitment to purchase Russian LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement, any reduction in purchases by the customers below the level required for the Company to resell both the Company’s inventory and the Russian material could adversely affect revenues, cash flows and results of operations.
Unless market conditions improve or Enrichment Corp lowers its prices to compete with excess supply, it expects to continue to see a reduction to its sales backlog over time. Enrichment Corp’s ability to make new sales is also constrained by the uncertainty about its future prospects associated with the transition from production at the Paducah Plant to commercial production at the American Centrifuge Plant. During the period of transition to commercialization of the American Centrifuge Plant, Enrichment Corp anticipates a lower level of revenue and sales, aligned with its anticipated sources of LEU from existing inventory and purchases of Russian LEU. The Debtor, through AC Enrichment, will need to enter into long-term contracts for production from the American Centrifuge Plant in order to support the financing of the American Centrifuge Plant, which would add to the Company’s longer-term backlog.
24.
The Ability To Compete In Certain Foreign Markets May Be Limited For Political, Legal And Economic Reasons
Agreements for cooperation between the U.S. government and various foreign governments or governmental agencies control the export of nuclear materials from the United States. If any of the agreements governing exports to countries in which customers are located were to lapse, terminate or be amended, it is possible sales could no longer be made or LEU could no longer be delivered to customers in those countries. This could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
Purchases of LEU by customers in the European Union are subject to a policy of the Euratom Supply Agency that seeks to limit foreign enriched uranium to no more than 20% of European Union consumption per year. Application of this policy to consumption in the European Union of the LEU that Enrichment Corp supplies or purchases can significantly limit its ability to make sales to European customers.
Certain emerging markets lack a comprehensive nuclear liability law that protects suppliers by channeling liability for injury and property damage suffered by third persons from nuclear incidents at a nuclear facility to the facility’s operator. To the extent a country does not have such a law and has not otherwise provided nuclear liability protection for suppliers to the projects to which the Company supplies SWU, the Company intends to negotiate terms in its customer contracts that it believes will adequately protect it in a manner consistent with this channeling principle. However, if a customer is unwilling to agree to such contract terms, the lack of clear protection for suppliers in the national laws of these countries could adversely affect the Company’s ability to compete for sales to meet the growing demand for LEU in these markets and the Company’s prospects for future revenue from such sales.
25.
The Dollar Amount Of The Sales Backlog, As Stated At Any Given Time, Is Not Necessarily Indicative Of Future Sales Revenues And Is Subject To Uncertainty
Backlog is the estimated aggregate dollar amount of SWU and uranium sales that the Company expects to recognize as revenue in future periods under existing contracts with customers. At December 31, 2013, backlog was estimated to be $3.3 billion, including $0.4 billion expected to be delivered in 2014. There is no assurance that the revenues projected in the backlog will be realized, or, if realized, will result in profits. While most of Enrichment Corp’s (and all of AC Enrichment’s) contracts provide for fixed purchases of SWU, some contracts are tied to the customer’s SWU requirements. Accordingly, the estimate of





backlog is partially based on customers’ estimates of the timing and size of these fuel requirements that may prove to be inaccurate. Backlog is also based on estimates of selling prices, which are subject to change. For example, depending on the terms of specific contracts, prices may be adjusted based on escalation using a general inflation index, published SWU or uranium market price indicators prevailing at the time of delivery, and other factors, all of which are unpredictable, particularly in light of general uncertainty in the nuclear market and the economy generally. The Company uses external composite forecasts of future market prices and inflation rates in its pricing estimates. These forecasts may not be accurate, and therefore estimates of future prices could be overstated. Any inaccuracy in estimates of future prices would add to the imprecision of the backlog estimate.
For a variety of reasons, the amounts of SWU and uranium that Enrichment Corp or the Debtor’s other subsidiaries will sell in the future under its existing contracts, and the timing of customer purchases under those contracts, may differ from estimates. Customers may not purchase as much as the Company predicted, nor at the times the Company anticipated, as a result of operational difficulties, changes in fuel requirements or other reasons. Reduced purchases would reduce the revenues Enrichment Corp or the Debtor’s other subsidiaries actually receives from contracts included in the backlog. For example, revenue could be reduced by actions of the NRC or nuclear regulators in foreign countries issuing orders to delay, suspend or shut down nuclear reactor operations within their jurisdictions, or by an interruption of deliveries of Russian LEU to Enrichment Corp that are needed to meet its delivery commitments to customers. Efforts taken to advance customer orders, including any discounts that are given, could also reduce the amount Enrichment Corp or the Debtor’s other subsidiaries receive under contracts in the backlog. Customers could also seek to modify or cancel orders in response to concerns regarding the Debtor or Enrichment Corp’s financial strength or future business prospects, including as a result of the transition of the Paducah Plant enrichment or as a result of the Debtor’s chapter 11 filing. Increases in purchase costs under the Russian Supply Agreement could cause sales included in the backlog to be at prices that are below cost of sales, which could adversely affect the Debtor’s and Enrichment Corp’s results of operations, and customers may purchase more under lower priced contracts than predicted.
The backlog includes sales prices that are in some cases significantly above current market prices. Therefore, customers may seek to limit their obligations under existing contracts or may be unwilling to extend contracts that have termination rights. The backlog also includes contracts that must be revised to reflect anticipated supply sources during the transition period. Certain customers have contracted with Enrichment Corp or AC Enrichment on the expectation that the Debtor would obtain financing for, or deploy, the American Centrifuge Plant by certain deadlines in the future that if missed, would give the customer a right to terminate the remainder of the contract. The Company estimates that approximately 30% of its backlog is under contracts with requirements related to financing or deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant. Enrichment Corp has been working with customers to renegotiate those contracts to modify or eliminate any such termination rights. Enrichment Corp expects to continue to work with customers regarding the remaining contracts, however, some customers have indicated they expect to exercise their contract termination rights in light of current market prices. Enrichment Corp is also working with customers to modify contracts that may have delivery, scheduling, origin or other terms that may be inconsistent with anticipated supply sources during the transition period. Enrichment Corp has no assurance that its customers will agree to revise existing contracts or will not seek to exercise contract termination rights or require concessions, which could adversely affect the value of its backlog. A loss of all or part of the existing backlog, or a reduction in its value, also could adversely affect the Debtor’s ability to secure adequate contracts to support commercialization of the American Centrifuge Project and the likelihood that the Debtor will succeed in securing financing for, or deploying, the American Centrifuge Plant and thereby adversely affect the Debtor’s prospects.
The sources of supply to meet existing backlog will include LEU delivered under the Russian Supply Agreement, which is subject to U.S. government quotas in the U.S. market and foreign trade restrictions in other markets, and which does not fit the origin requirements of every contract in the backlog. To the extent Enrichment Corp’s delivery obligations cannot be fully met with Russian LEU under the Russian Supply Agreement, Enrichment Corp expects to rely on inventory (and, in the future, supply from the American Centrifuge Plant). To the extent these sources are insufficient, Enrichment Corp could also seek to secure supply from producers and secondary suppliers of LEU with origins that are acceptable under existing contacts, and could also seek a relaxation of trade restrictions or an increase in quotas available to Enrichment Corp, but the timing, cost and availability of any these options is uncertain.
26.
The Company’s Future Prospects Are Tied Directly To The Nuclear Energy Industry Worldwide
Potential events that could affect either nuclear reactors under current or future contracts with the Company or the nuclear industry as a whole, include:
accidents, terrorism or other incidents at nuclear facilities or involving shipments of nuclear materials;
regulatory actions or changes in regulations by nuclear regulatory bodies;
decisions by agencies, courts or other bodies that limit the Debtor’s or its subsidiaries’ ability to seek relief under applicable trade laws to offset unfair competition or pricing by foreign competitors;
disruptions in other areas of the nuclear fuel cycle, such as uranium supplies or conversion;
civic opposition to, or changes in government policies regarding, nuclear operations;





business decisions concerning reactors or reactor operations;
the need for generating capacity; or
consolidation within the electric power industry.
These events could adversely affect the Company to the extent they result in a reduction or elimination of customers’ contractual requirements to purchase from the Company, the suspension or reduction of nuclear reactor operations, the reduction of supplies of raw materials, lower demand, burdensome regulation, disruptions of shipments or production, increased competition from third parties, increased operational costs or difficulties or increased liability for actual or threatened property damage or personal injury.
27.
Changes To, Or Termination Of, Any Agreements With The U.S. Government, Or Deterioration In The Company’s Relationship With The U.S. Government, Could Adversely Affect Results Of Operations
The Debtor, Enrichment Corp or other of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries are a party to a number of agreements and arrangements with the U.S. government that are important to the business, including:
leases for the Paducah Plant and the American Centrifuge facilities;
the 2002 DOE-USEC Agreement and other agreements that address issues relating to the domestic uranium enrichment industry and centrifuge technology;
the RD&D Cooperative Agreement with the DOE for the RD&D Program; and
contract work for the DOE and the DOE contractors at the Paducah Plant.
Termination or expiration of one or more of these agreements, without replacement with an equivalent agreement or arrangement that accomplishes the same objectives as the terminated or expired agreement(s), could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. In addition, deterioration in the Company’s relationship with the U.S. agencies that are parties to these agreements could impair or impede its ability to successfully implement these agreements, which could adversely affect results of operations.
28.
Enrichment Corp May Not Be Successful In Collecting Amounts Due From the DOE Related To U.S. Government Contract Work
Enrichment Corp formerly performed services under contract with the DOE at the Portsmouth Plant, which contracts expired in 2011. Enrichment Corp may not be successful in collecting unpaid receivables from the DOE for such work. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes gross receivables from the DOE or the DOE contractors for contract services work totaling $98.40 million as of December 31, 2013. Of the $98.4 million, $80.8 million represents certified claims submitted to the DOE under the Contract Disputes Act (“ CDA ”) consisting of $38.0 million in claims for payment of breach-of-contract amounts due to the DOE’s failure to timely approve provisional billing rates equaling unreimbursed costs for the periods through December 31, 2011 and $42.8 million in claims for reimbursement of DOE’s share of pension and postretirement benefit costs related to close-out of the Portsmouth contracts discussed below. The DOE’s Contracting Officer has denied Enrichment Corp’s initial claims for payment of $38.0 million related to billing rates. Enrichment Corp appealed the DOE’s denial of its claims to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on May 30, 2013. There is no assurance that Enrichment Corp will be successful in these claims or recover any amounts for these past due receivables.
Revenue from U.S. government contract work is based on cost accounting standards and allowable costs that are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“ DCAA ”) or such other entity that the DOE authorizes to conduct the audit. Billing rates are also subject to audit and must be approved by the DOE. Allowable costs include direct costs as well as allocations of indirect plant and corporate overhead costs. Enrichment Corp has finalized and submitted to the DOE incurred cost submissions for the Portsmouth Plant and Paducah Plant contract work for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and the years ended December 31, 2003 through 2012. DCAA historically has not completed their audits of Incurred Cost Submissions in a timely manner. DCAA has been periodically working on audits for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2003 since May 2008. In June 2011, a new DOE contractor began an audit for the year ended December 31, 2004, and has since begun audits of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. As of December 31, 2013, Enrichment Corp received the audit results for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and the DOE’s determinations regarding those findings. While Enrichment Corp does not agree with all of the findings, for the three years audited there is no dispute that over $6.9 million is owed to Enrichment Corp and an additional $635,000 is owed related to costs which the auditor found to be appropriately billed. Audit adjustments, unilateral rate disallowances by the DOE or delays by the DOE in approving rate increases could reduce the amounts Enrichment Corp is allowed to bill or collect for the DOE contract work, require Enrichment Corp to refund to the DOE a portion of amounts already billed, or delay Enrichment Corp’s timely recovery of costs, which could adversely affect liquidity, cash flows and results of operations. Enrichment Corp also performs limited services for the DOE at the Paducah site. Such services are principally related to providing security and infrastructure support at the site. The DOE has historically failed to





timely approve provisional billing rates equaling unreimbursed costs for the services performed. As a result, Enrichment Corp has total gross receivables of $$98.4 million for services provided to the DOE or DOE contractors, as of December 31, 2013. There is no assurance that the DOE will revise the provisional billing rates to permit timely payment or that it will ultimately agree to the amounts due.
29.
The Company May Not Be Successful In Collecting Amounts Due From the DOE Related to Pension and Postretirement Benefits
In December 2012, Enrichment Corp invoiced the DOE for $42.8 million, representing its share of pension and postretirement benefits costs related to Portsmouth site employees who performed work under contracts with the DOE and transitioned to the DOE’s decontamination and decommissioning contractor. The DOE denied payment on this invoice in January 2013 and subsequent to providing additional information, as requested, to the DOE, Enrichment Corp submitted a claim on August 30, 2013 under the CDA for payment of the $42.8 million. The DOE subsequently requested additional information. The DOE contracting officer’s decision is due by April 9, 2014. In the third quarter of 2013, Enrichment Corp recognized a long-term receivable for this claimed amount along with a full valuation allowance due to its inability to reach a resolution with the DOE, the uncertainty of the timing for collection of amounts owed, and the potential of additional amounts owed by the DOE. There is no assurance that the DOE will agree with Enrichment Corp or that it will be successful in recovering amounts from the DOE in a timely manner or at all.
30.
The Company’s Operations Are Highly Regulated By The NRC And The DOE
The Company’s operations are subject to regulation by the NRC. The NRC has issued Enrichment Corp a certificate of compliance for the Paducah Plant. In addition, the American Centrifuge demonstration facility and the construction and operation of the American Centrifuge Plant are licensed and regulated by the NRC. The license for American Centrifuge Plant activities is held by AC Operating.
The NRC could refuse to renew a certificate or license if it determines that: (1) the certificate or license holder is foreign owned, controlled or dominated; (2) the issuance of a renewed certificate or license would be inimical to the maintenance of a reliable and economic domestic source of enrichment; (3) the issuance of a renewed certificate or license would be adverse to U.S. defense or security objectives; or (4) the issuance of a renewed certificate or license is otherwise not consistent with applicable laws or regulations in effect at the time of renewal.
The NRC has the authority to issue notices of violation for violations of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, the NRC regulations and conditions of licenses, certificates of compliance, or orders. The NRC has the authority to impose civil penalties or additional requirements and to order cessation of operations for violations of its regulations. Penalties under the NRC regulations could include substantial fines, imposition of additional requirements or withdrawal or suspension of licenses or certificates. Any penalties imposed on the Company could adversely affect its results of operations. The NRC also has the authority to issue new regulatory requirements or to change existing requirements. Changes to the regulatory requirements could also adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
In addition, the American Centrifuge Project development and manufacturing facilities in Oak Ridge, and certain operations at the Company’s other facilities, are subject to regulation by the DOE. The DOE has the authority to impose civil penalties and additional requirements, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
The Company’s operations require that it maintains security clearances that are overseen by the NRC and the DOE in accordance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual. These security clearances could be suspended or revoked if the Company is determined by the NRC to be subject to foreign ownership, control or influence. In addition, statute and NRC regulations prohibit the NRC from issuing any license or certificate to the Company if it determines that it is owned, controlled or dominated by an alien, a foreign corporation, or a foreign government.
31.
Failures Or Security Breaches Of Information Technology Systems Could Have An Adverse Effect On The Company’s Business
The Company’s business requires it to use and protect classified and other protected information. Its computer networks and other IT systems are designed to protect this information through the use of classified networks and other procedures. A material network breach in the security of the IT systems could include the theft of the Company’s intellectual property. To the extent any security breach results in a loss or damage to data, or in inappropriate disclosure of classified or other protected information, it could cause grave damage to the country’s national security and to the Company’s business. One of the biggest threats to classified information the Company protects comes from the insider threat - an employee with legitimate access who engages in misconduct. Transitions in the business, in particular the potential for employee layoffs and other transitions, can increase the risk that an insider with access could steal the Company’s intellectual property.





32.
The Company’s Operations Are Subject To Numerous Federal, State And Local Environmental Protection Laws And Regulations
Enrichment Corp incurs substantial costs for compliance with environmental laws and regulations, including the handling, treatment and disposal of hazardous, low-level radioactive and mixed wastes generated as a result of operations at the Paducah Plant. Unanticipated events or regulatory developments, however, could cause the amount and timing of future environmental expenditures to vary substantially from those expected.
Pursuant to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, the Company is required to hold multiple permits related to the Paducah Plant and the American Centrifuge Project. Some permits require periodic renewal or review of their conditions, and the Company cannot predict whether it will be able to renew such permits or whether material changes in permit conditions will be imposed. Changes to or an inability to obtain or renew permits could increase costs or impact the Company’s ability to meet its obligations to customers and could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and Debtor’s ability to finance the American Centrifuge Plant.
33.
The Company’s Operations Involve The Use, Transportation And Disposal Of Toxic, Hazardous And/Or Radioactive Materials And Could Result In Liability Without Regard To Fault Or Negligence
The Company’s plant operations involve the use of toxic, hazardous and radioactive materials. A release of these materials could pose a health risk to humans or animals. If an accident were to occur, its severity would depend on the volume of the release and the speed of corrective action taken by plant emergency response personnel, as well as other factors beyond the Company’s control, such as weather and wind conditions. Actions taken in response to an actual or suspected release of these materials, including a precautionary evacuation, could result in significant costs for which the Company, or the specific responsible entity, could be legally responsible. In addition to health risks, a release of these materials may cause damage to, or the loss of, property and may adversely affect property values.
The Company, through each specific lessee entity, leases facilities from the DOE at the American Centrifuge Plant and centrifuge test facilities in Piketon, Ohio and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. In addition, despite ceasing enrichment at the Paducah Plant, Enrichment Corp continues certain operations and currently remains obligated under a lease of the Paducah site from the DOE. Pursuant to the Price-Anderson Act, the DOE has indemnified the lessee entity against claims for public liability (as defined in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended) arising out of or in connection with activities under those leases resulting from a nuclear incident or precautionary evacuation. If an incident or evacuation is not covered under the DOE indemnification, the lessee entity could be financially liable for damages arising from such incident or evacuation, which could have an adverse effect on both the lessee entity’s and the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The DOE indemnification does not apply to incidents outside the United States, including in connection with international transportation of LEU.
While the DOE has provided indemnification pursuant to the Price-Anderson Act, there could be delays in obtaining reimbursement for costs from the DOE and the DOE may determine that some or all costs are not reimbursable under the indemnification.
Enrichment Corp does not maintain any nuclear liability insurance for its operations at the Paducah site. Further, American Nuclear Insurers, the only provider of nuclear liability insurance, has declined to provide nuclear liability insurance to the American Centrifuge Plant due to past and present DOE operations on the site. In addition, the Price-Anderson Act indemnification does not cover loss or damage to property located on the leased facilities due to a nuclear incident.
In the Company’s contracts, the Company seeks to protect itself from liability, but there is no assurance that such contractual limitations on liability will be effective in all cases. The costs of defending against a claim arising out of a nuclear incident or precautionary evacuation, and any damages awarded as a result of such a claim, could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
34.
Levels Of Returns On Pension And Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, Changes In Interest Rates And Other Factors Affecting The Amounts To Be Contributed To Fund Future Pension And Postretirement Benefit Liabilities Could Adversely Affect Earnings And Cash Flows In Future Periods
Earnings may be positively or negatively impacted by the amount of expense the Debtor and Enrichment Corp records for employee benefit plans. This is particularly true with expense for the pension and postretirement benefit plans. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require a company to calculate expense for these plans using actuarial valuations. These valuations are based on assumptions relating to financial markets and other economic conditions. Changes in key economic indicators can result in changes in the assumptions used. The key year-end assumptions used to estimate pension and postretirement benefit expenses for the following year are the discount rate, the expected rate of return on plan assets, healthcare cost trend rates and the rate of increase in future compensation levels. The rate of return on pension assets and changes in interest rates affect funding requirements for defined benefit pension plans. The IRS and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 regulate the minimum amount the Debtor and Enrichment Corp contribute to their pension plans. The amount required to contribute to pension plans can have an adverse effect on the Debtor and Enrichment Corp’s cash flows.





35.
An Ownership Change Could Impact The Debtor’s Ability To Fully Utilize Tax Benefits
Under Section 382 of the Tax Code, if a corporation or consolidated group of corporations with net operating losses, built-in losses and certain other tax attributes (collectively, the “ Tax Benefits ”) undergoes an “ownership change,” the use of the Tax Benefits by the corporation or consolidated group generally would be subject to an annual limitation in the post-change period. In general, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of value of a corporation’s stock owned by one or more stockholders owning (or deemed to own under Section 382 of the Tax Code) five percent or more of the corporation’s stock increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of value owned by such stockholders over a rolling three-year period.
The Debtor does not believe it has experienced an ownership change as defined by Section 382 of the Tax Code as of the Petition Date. Please see “ Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan-Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Debtor-Section 382 Limitation on Net Operating Losses and Built-in Losses ” for a discussion of the consequences of an “ownership change” prior to the Effective Date and the impact of the Plan on the Reorganized Debtor’s use of the Tax Benefits after the Effective Date.
The use of the Tax Benefits is subject to uncertainty because it will be dependent upon the amount of taxable income generated by the Reorganized Debtor and its subsidiaries, whether certain bankruptcy tax rules apply, the amount that the Tax Benefits will be reduced as a result of the consummation of the Plan and to what extent any surviving Tax Benefits may be subject to an annual usage limitation as discussed in “ Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan-Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Debtor.
36.
Certain Tax Implications Of The Chapter 11 Cases.
Holders of Claims and Interests should carefully review Part VI herein, “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan,” to determine how the tax implications of the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases may adversely affect the Reorganized Debtor and certain Holders of Claims and Interests.
C.
RISKS RELATING TO THE RESTRUCTURING AND THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED UNDER THE PLAN
1.
The Debtor May Emerge From The Restructuring With No Certainty As to Future Government Support
The DOE has provided funding to the Debtor under the RD&D Program on an incremental basis. The DOE has no obligation to continue funding beyond a current period. The Debtor has limited visibility as to funding beyond a current period, often until the end of the period. That situation is likely to continue for as long as the RD&D Program continues and until the DOE is in a position to provide the long-term support the Debtor is currently seeking. The Plan will not change the funding environment in which the Debtor operates.
2.
The Debtor’s Future After Emergence Will Be Determined By The New Board
The Plan provides for the Debtor’s current Board to be replaced on the Effective Date by a New Board. While certain members of the New Board will be continuing from the current Board, they will be joined by new members who have different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives and, thus, may have different views on the issues that will determine the future of the Debtor as well as the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries. Although there will be certain regulatory, contractual or other constraints on the actions of the New Board, there is no certainty that the New Board will continue to pursue, or will pursue in the same manner, the Debtor’s current strategic plans with respect to the American Centrifuge Program or any other matter. Moreover, the New Board may elect to make changes in the Debtor’s current management team as well as changes to the individuals serving as directors or managers of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, which could have an impact on the direction and management of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries.
3.
Risks Associated With The Exit Facility
The proposed Exit Facility, under which Enrichment Corp is the lender, does not commit Enrichment Corp to provide financing in any specific amount. Enrichment Corp will provide financing in such amounts as may requested by the Reorganized Debtor, but has no obligation to make such loans if it does not have funds available or doing so would jeopardize its ability to satisfy its other obligations. If Enrichment Corp determines it necessary to terminate the financing, the Reorganized Debtor may seek a third-party financing facility, but there is no assurance that a third party would be willing to provide such financing. Thus, the Reorganized Debtor may find itself with no other source from which replacement financing will be available.
Although the proposed Exit Facility does not contain typical operating and financial covenants, it is a demand note and Enrichment Corp can require repayment upon demand. In addition, the Exit Facility could be replaced or supplemented in the future by a third-party financing facility (assuming a third party is willing to provide such financing), which could contain covenants restricting the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to, among other things, incur or prepay other indebtedness, grant liens, sell assets, make investments and acquisitions, consummate certain mergers and other fundamental changes, make certain capital expenditures and declare or pay dividends or other distributions. Complying with these covenants could limit the Reorganized Debtor’s flexibility to successfully execute its business strategy. Enrichment Corp could be a co-borrower or guarantor under any such future facility.





Failure to comply with obligations under the Exit Facility or a subsequent third-party facility, or the occurrence of a “material adverse effect” under any such subsequent third-party facility, could result in an event of default under one or more of the documents governing the Reorganized Debtor’s indebtedness or Enrichment Corp’s indebtedness if a party to a future facility. There is no assurance that the Reorganized Debtor, or Enrichment Corp if a party to a future facility, would be able to cure any default and, in certain cases, the Reorganized Debtor, or Enrichment Corp if a party to a future facility, may not have the opportunity to cure a default. A default, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of indebtedness. If, as a result of a default, indebtedness is accelerated, the Reorganized Debtor, or Enrichment Corp if a party to a future facility, cannot be certain that it will have funds available to pay the accelerated indebtedness or that it will have the ability to refinance the accelerated indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all. Further, even if the Reorganized Debtor, or Enrichment Corp if a party to a future facility, is able to pay or refinance the accelerated indebtedness, it may not be able to remedy the consequence of a default under the documents governing other indebtedness or obligations. The Exit Facility (and likely any future third-party financing facility) will be secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Reorganized Debtor and a default thereunder may give Enrichment Corp (or such third-party lender) the right to foreclose on the Reorganized Debtor’s assets.
4.
Risks Associated With New Notes
(a)
The Reorganized Debtor will have Significant Indebtedness After the Effective Date
The Reorganized Debtor will emerge from the Chapter 11 Case with a significant amount of indebtedness. In addition to the indebtedness under the New Notes, and despite the restructuring under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor still has substantial obligations to third parties. In addition, the terms of the New Indenture will not restrict the Reorganized Debtor, or any of its subsidiaries (including Enrichment Corp), from incurring substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Moreover, the Reorganized Debtor’s business plan contemplates raising a substantial amount of additional indebtedness, including in connection with the further commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge Project.
The Reorganized Debtor’s substantial level of indebtedness (and other third-party obligations) could have important consequences, including:
the terms and conditions imposed by the documents governing its indebtedness could make it more difficult for the Reorganized Debtor to satisfy its obligations to its lenders and other creditors, resulting in possible defaults on and acceleration of such indebtedness or breaches of such other commitments;
the Reorganized Debtor may be more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions and have less flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in the nuclear enrichment industry which could place the Reorganized Debtor at a competitive disadvantage compared to any industry competitors that have less debt or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates and that, as a result, may be better positioned to withstand economic downturns;
the Reorganized Debtor may find it more difficult to obtain additional financing for future working capital, further development of the American Centrifuge Project and other general corporate requirements; and
the Reorganized Debtor will be required to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash resources to payments on the New Notes thereby reducing the availability of its cash for further development of the American Centrifuge Project and other purposes.
If the Reorganized Debtor incurs substantial additional indebtedness, the foregoing risks would intensify.
(b)
The Reorganized Debtor may Elect to Pay Interest on the New Notes in Kind Rather than Cash
At its option, the Reorganized Debtor has elected to pay in kind 1.5% of interest due on the New Notes for the time period between the date of issuance and September 30, 2014, and may elect to (i) pay in kind up to 3% of interest due on the New Notes for the time period between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015, and (ii) pay in kind up to 5.5% of interest due on the New Notes from October 1, 2015 through maturity, at its option, by either increasing the principal amount of the outstanding notes or by issuing new notes for the entire amount of the interest payment, thereby increasing the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes. As such, holders of the New Notes could potentially receive less cash interest on the New Notes than if the Reorganized Debtor were required to make interest payments completely in cash.
(c)
Repayment of the New Notes is Dependent upon Cash Flow Generated by Enrichment Corp
As discussed above, the Reorganized Debtor expects to depend to a significant extent upon Enrichment Corp to generate and make available to it substantially all of the cash necessary to service its indebtedness under the New Notes and to fund its other commitments and to pay its expenses. Enrichment Corp’s ability to generate cash will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, many of which are outside of its or the Reorganized Debtor’s control. Moreover, Enrichment Corp’s ability to make cash available to the Reorganized Debtor will depend on the sufficiency of such cash to first satisfy its own financial obligations.





If Enrichment Corp is unable to generate sufficient cash flow beyond its own financial commitments, it may not be able to provide to the Reorganized Debtor the funding necessary to service the indebtedness under the New Notes. In such event, the Reorganized Debtor will be required to adopt one or more alternatives to raise additional capital. Its ability to implement successfully any such alternative financing plans will be dependent on a range of factors, including general economic conditions and the prospects for successful commercialization of the American Centrifuge technology. There can be no assurance that the Reorganized Debtor could raise capital from sources other than Enrichment Corp. Enrichment Corp’s inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy the Reorganized Debtor’s obligations under the New Notes could leave the Reorganized Debtor without funds necessary to make payments on the New Notes.
(d)
The Right of Holders of New Notes to Receive Payments will be Junior to “Issuer Senior Debt”
The New Notes will be subordinated obligations of the Reorganized Debtor, junior in right of payment to the obligations of the Reorganized Debtor classified in the New Indenture as “Issuer Senior Debt”, which includes (i) indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtor under the credit agreement (as defined in the new Indenture) and all obligations of the Reorganized Debtor with respect thereto, (ii) all obligations and claims against the Reorganized Debtor under any equity investment or any commitment to make any such equity investment with respect to the American Centrifuge Project made on or after the date that the New Notes are issued, (iii) all obligations and claims with respect to the Reorganized Debtor arising from financing or government support of the American Centrifuge Project, and (iv) indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtor to Enrichment Corp that is issued or incurred on or after the date the New Notes are issued and all obligations with respect thereto. The Reorganized Debtor expects that the amount of Issuer Senior Debt that it will incur from and after the date that the New Notes are issued (including pursuant to the Exit Facility) will be substantial.
In a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or dissolution or other similar transaction with respect to the Reorganized Debtor, its assets will be available to pay the New Notes only after all payments have been made on its Issuer Senior Debt. After all payments have been made on such Issuer Senior Debt, holders of the New Notes will participate with trade creditors and all other holders of unsubordinated indebtedness in the assets remaining. However, because the New Indenture requires that amounts otherwise payable to holders of the notes in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders of Issuer Senior Debt instead, holders of the New Notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of trade payables in any such proceeding. As a result, there can be no assurance that in any such event sufficient assets would remain to make any payments on the New Notes. In addition, all payments on the New Notes will be blocked in the event of a payment default on Issuer Senior Debt and may be blocked for up to 179 consecutive days in the event of certain non-payment defaults on Issuer Senior Debt.
In addition, the New Notes will be the Reorganized Debtor’s general unsecured obligation, will rank equal in right of payment to any future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtor other than Issuer Senior Debt, will be structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness of and other liabilities of the Reorganized Debtor’s subsidiaries (other than Enrichment Corp) and will be effectively subordinated to any future secured indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
In addition, the Debtor currently has obligations owing to each of PBGC and the United States government and each of the PBGC and the United States government are beneficiaries of certain Federal statutes that may entitle them to obtain statutory liens on the assets of the Reorganized Debtor.
(e)
There is no Public Market for the New Notes and No Assurance that an Active Market will Develop
The New Notes will constitute a new issue of securities with no established market. No assurance can be given that an active public or other market will develop for the New Notes or as to the liquidity of or the market for the New Notes. If a market does not develop or is not maintained, holders of the New Notes may experience difficulty in reselling the New Notes or may be unable to sell them at all. If a market for the New Notes develops, any such market may cease to continue at any time. If a public market develops for the New Notes, future prices of the New Notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, the Reorganized Debtor’s and its subsidiaries’ results of operations and the markets for similar securities and other factors, including the Reorganized Debtor’s and its subsidiaries’ financial condition. The New Notes may trade at a discount from their principal amount.
(f)
The Reorganized Debtor may be Unable to Finance the Change of Control Repurchase Offers
Upon a change of control (as defined in the New Indenture), the Reorganized Debtor is required to offer to repurchase the New Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the New Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The Reorganized Debtor’s ability to pay cash to the holders of the New Notes in connection with such repurchase will be limited by the then existing financial resources of the Reorganized Debtor and its subsidiaries, including Enrichment Corp. Accordingly, it is possible that the Reorganized Debtor will not have sufficient funds at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of New Notes. Any requirement to offer to repurchase the New Notes may therefore require the Reorganized Debtor to refinance the New Notes, which it may not be able to do on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The Reorganized Debtor’s failure to offer to repurchase all outstanding New Notes or to purchase all validly tendered New Notes would be an event





of default under the New Indenture. Such an event of default may cause the acceleration of other debt or funding commitments to which the Reorganized Debtor or its subsidiaries, including Enrichment Corp may be a party.
Future debt of the Reorganized Debtor or Enrichment Corp may contain restrictions on repayment requirements with respect to specified events or transactions that constitute a change of control under the New Indenture. As a result, following a change of control event, the Reorganized Debtor may not be able to repurchase the New Notes and Enrichment Corp may not be able to provide cash to the Reorganized Debtor for such repurchase unless all indebtedness outstanding under any such future debt arrangement is first repaid and any other indebtedness that contains similar provisions is repaid, or waivers are obtained from the holders of such indebtedness to permit the Reorganized Debtor to repurchase the New Notes or Enrichment Corp to provide such cash to the Reorganized Debtor. Such a waiver may not be obtained, in which case the Reorganized Debtor may be unable to repay all indebtedness under the New Notes. In addition, any future debt agreements that the Reorganized Debtor or its subsidiaries (including Enrichment Corp) enter into also may contain similar provisions.
In addition, the definition of change of control in the New Indenture includes a phrase relating to the sale of “substantially all” of the Reorganized Debtor’s assets. There is no precise established definition of the phrase “substantially all” under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of New Notes to require the Reorganized Debtor to repurchase its New Note as a result of a sale of less than all of the Reorganized Debtor’s assets to another person may be uncertain.
(g)
The Maturity Date of the New Notes may be Extended from Five Years to Ten Years
In the event that a Funding Condition (as defined in the New Indenture) with respect to the American Centrifuge Plant is satisfied after the date that the New Notes are issued, the Reorganized Debtor may elect to extend the maturity date of the New Notes from five (5) years from the date of issuance to ten (10) years from the date of issuance. In the event that the maturity date of the New Notes is extended, payment of the principal amount of the New Notes will not be due to the holders of the New Notes until the date that is ten (10) years from the date of issuance of the New Notes.
(h)
The New Notes may be Treated as Issued with Original Issue Discount
As previously discussed, the New Notes will be treated as having been issued with original issue discount (OID) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
If a bankruptcy petition were later filed by or against the Reorganized Debtor under applicable U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws, the issuance of the New Notes and the claim by any holder of the New Notes for the principal amount of the New Notes may be limited to an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the original issue price of the New Notes and (ii) that portion of the OID that does not constitute “unmatured interest” for purposes of the applicable U.S. federal bankruptcy laws.
Any OID that was not amortized as of the date of any such bankruptcy filing may constitute unmatured interest. Accordingly, holders of the New Notes under these circumstances may receive a lesser amount than they may be entitled to under the terms of the New Indenture, even if sufficient funds are available.
(i)
The New Indenture Contains Only Limited Covenants and these Limited Covenants May Not Protect the Holders of the New Notes
The New Indenture contains only limited restrictive covenants and does not contain restrictions that would, among other things:
require the Reorganized Debtor to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flows or liquidity;

limit the Reorganized Debtor, or any of its subsidiaries, from incurring any indebtedness or from issuing securities that would be structurally senior to the New Notes;

limit the Reorganized Debtor’s ability to incur secured indebtedness and otherwise pledge its assets or those of its subsidiaries (other than Enrichment Corp);

restrict the Reorganized Debtor’s ability to repurchase its securities; or

restrict the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to make investments or to pay dividends or make other payments in respect of its common stock or other securities ranking junior to the New Notes.






Accordingly, the New Indenture does not contain covenants that are typically found in indentures governing securities such as the New Notes that would protect holders of the New Notes in the event that the Reorganized Debtor experiences significant adverse changes to its financial condition or results of operations.
(j)
New Notes may be Subject to Restrictions on Resale
See Part V for a discussion of restrictions on resale of the New Notes acquired under the Plan.
5.
Risks Associated With Limited Subsidiary Guarantee
(a)
Enrichment Corp has Significant Payment Obligations and may Incur Significant Additional Indebtedness
Enrichment Corp currently has significant payment obligations to third parties, including pursuant to its commitment to fund its defined benefit pension plans and to fund the wind down of its Paducah enrichment facility. In addition, the terms of the New Indenture will not restrict Enrichment Corp from incurring substantial indebtedness in the future. Any indebtedness or other obligations that Enrichment Corp might incur in the future that meet the definition of “Designated Senior Claims” in the New Indenture will be senior in right of payment to the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and will have a security interest in, or liens on, the assets constituting the collateral securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty that will be senior in right of priority to the security interest securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty. Enrichment Corp’s substantial payment obligations and current and potential future indebtedness could restrict its ability to make any payment on the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty or to provide cash to the Reorganized Debtor to, among other things, make payments on the New Notes. If Enrichment Corp incurs substantial additional indebtedness, these risks would intensify. In addition, as described below, payments on the Limited Senior Guaranty will likely be subject to a number of restrictions, including payment blockage.
(b)
The Limited Subsidiary Guaranty may be Released Prior to Maturity of the New Notes
Under the terms of the New Indenture, Enrichment Corp’s Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will automatically and unconditionally be released upon the occurrence of certain “Termination Events” specified in the New Indenture except for Enrichment Corp’s guarantee of interest accrued and unpaid in cash from the date of issuance through the earlier of the commencement of certain proceedings related to a bankruptcy of Enrichment Corp or the stated maturity date. These Termination Events include, among other things, certain situations where the Reorganized Debtor decides to abandon or terminate all activities under the American Centrifuge Project or to permanently wind down, demobilize or suspend all such activities or the funding of the RD&D Program ceases prior to completion. In the event that any such Termination Event with respect to the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty shall occur, the holders of the New Notes would only have recourse to the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty to the limited extent described above.
(c)
The Amount that can be Collected Under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be Limited
Enrichment Corp’s Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by Enrichment Corp without rendering such guaranty voidable, and the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty may be voided prior to maturity of the New Notes. In general, the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by Enrichment Corp may be significantly less than the principal amount of the New Notes.
The Limited Subsidiary Guaranty (including the liens securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty) could be deemed fraudulent conveyances under certain circumstances, and a court may try to subordinate or void them.
Under the federal bankruptcy laws and comparable state fraudulent conveyance statutes, if a court were to find that, at the time the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty was issued:
the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty was issued with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor; or
Enrichment Corp contemplated insolvency with a design to favor one or more creditors to the exclusion of others; or
Enrichment Corp did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for issuing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty and, at the time Enrichment Corp issued the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty, Enrichment Corp:
was insolvent or became insolvent as a result of such obligation;
was engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they matured (as all of the foregoing terms are defined or interpreted under the relevant fraudulent transfer or conveyance statutes);
the court could void or subordinate the obligations evidenced by the guaranty (including the liens securing the guaranty).





If a court were to find that the issuance or the incurrence of the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty (or the issuance of the liens securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty) was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under the guaranty, could rule that holders of the New Notes were not entitled to the benefits of any lien securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty, could subordinate the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty to presently existing and future indebtedness of Enrichment Corp or could require the holders of the New Notes to re-pay any amounts received with respect to the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, a holder of New Notes may not receive any repayment on the guaranty.
As a general matter, value is given for a transfer or an obligation if in exchange for the transfer or obligation, property is transferred or a valid antecedent debt is satisfied. A court could find that Enrichment Corp did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty to the extent it found that Enrichment Corp did not obtain a reasonably equivalent benefit from the Debtor’s restructuring and issuance of the New Notes.
Because the measures for insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending on the law applied in any proceeding with respect to the foregoing, there is no certainty as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not Enrichment Corp was insolvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, whether the guaranty would be subordinated to any other debt of Enrichment Corp. In general, however, a court would consider the following in determining an entity’s insolvency:
the sum of its debts, including contingent and unliquidated liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;
the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent and unliquidated liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
whether it could not pay its debts as they became due.
The Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will contain a provision intended to limit Enrichment Corp’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty from being avoided under fraudulent transfer law. Under certain case law, the validity of such a customary savings clause in a guaranty has been questioned.
(d)
The Right to Payments on the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be Junior to “Designated Senior Claims”
The Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be a subordinated obligation of Enrichment Corp, junior in right of payment to all current and future obligations and claims of Enrichment Corp constituting “Designated Senior Claims”. The New Indenture contains no restrictions on the amount of Designated Senior Claims that Enrichment Corp may incur. As discussed above, Enrichment Corp has liability for underfunding of its defined benefit plans, as well as control group liability for the Debtor’s plan, in the approximate amount of $123.4 million as of December 31, 2013, although the amount of such underfunding could be greater if valued on a PBGC termination basis. Under the New Indenture, Enrichment Corp’s obligations held by or for the benefit of the PBGC pursuant to any settlement of certain claims related to the Company’s underfunded defined pension benefits plans or held by the United States Government are among those obligations of Enrichment Corp that will constitute Designated Senior Claims. There is no restriction on the amount of indebtedness that can constitute a Designated Senior Claim. It is expected that any such Designated Senior Claims could be significant. In addition, certain obligations of Enrichment Corp incurred in connection with the Reorganized Debtor’s efforts to finance commercialization of the American Centrifuge Project will also constitute Designated Senior Claims. Under the terms of the New Indenture, there is no limit on the amount of Designated Senior Claims that Enrichment Corp may incur and it is expected that Enrichment Corp’s obligations constituting Designated Senior Claims will be substantial.
In a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or dissolution or other similar transaction with respect to Enrichment Corp, its assets will be available to pay its obligations under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty only after all payments have been made on all of Enrichment Corp’s obligations under the Designated Senior Claims. After all payments have been made on such Designated Senior Claims, holders of the New Notes will be senior to any trade creditors and all other holders of unsubordinated indebtedness to the extent of the value, if any, of any remaining collateral securing the Limited Senior Guaranty and after all proceeds of the encumbered assets will be pari passu with such trade and unsecured creditors in the unencumbered assets remaining. However, because the New Indenture requires that amounts otherwise payable with respect to the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty to holders of the New Notes in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders of Designated Senior Claims instead, the proceeds of such unencumbered assets must first be paid to the holders of Designated Senior Claims with remaining claims, and thus holders of the New Notes may receive less, ratably, pursuant to the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty than holders of trade payables and other holders of unsubordinated indebtedness in any such proceeding. As a result, there is no assurance that in any such event sufficient assets would remain to make any payments on the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty. In addition, all payments on the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be blocked in the event of a payment default on Designated Senior Claims and may be blocked for up to 179 consecutive days in the event of certain non-payment defaults on Designated Senior Claims.





(e)
The Liens Securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty are Junior to Liens of Designated Senior Claims
Enrichment Corp’s obligations under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty are secured by a lien on Enrichment Corp’s assets constituting collateral under the New Indenture and the related security documents. The security interest securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be junior in priority to any and all security interests and liens at any time securing the Designated Senior Claims. It is expected that, after issuance of the New Notes, Enrichment Corp will incur obligations under third-party indebtedness or amounts due to the United States Government that will constitute Designated Senior Claims. Moreover, Enrichment Corp plans to engage in further discussions with the PBGC concerning a possible settlement in connection with its underfunded defined benefit pension plan. Upon Enrichment Corp incurring obligations that constitutes Designated Senior Claims, the security interest securing Enrichment Corp’s obligations under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will become junior to the security interests and liens securing such Designated Senior Claims. In addition, it is expected that, in connection with the incurrence of any Designated Senior Claims, the trustee and the collateral agent under the New Indenture (on behalf of the holders of the New Notes) and the representatives of various Designated Senior Claims will enter into an intercreditor agreement substantially in the form attached to the New Indenture that will define the relative rights in the collateral of the holders of the Designated Senior Claims and the Trustee (as representative of the holders of the New Notes). For example, under the terms of the New Indenture, related security documents and the intercreditor agreement, once the relevant parties enter into the intercreditor agreement, representatives of the holders of Designated Senior Claims will, at all times prior to termination of all Designated Senior Claims, control all remedies or other actions related to the collateral securing Limited Subsidiary Guaranty other than after the termination of a 180-day standstill period commencing on the date that the collateral agent for the applicable Designated Senior Claims receives notice from the collateral agent for the New Notes of acceleration of all obligations under Enrichment Corp’s guaranty and the related security documents. The intercreditor agreement will prohibit the holders of the New Notes from foreclosing on the collateral securing the New Notes or exercising other remedies or taking other actions with respect to such collateral during the standstill period at any time prior to payment in full of the obligations under all Designated Senior Claims and require proceeds of collateral to be turned over to the holders of Designated Senior Claims.
There can be no assurance that, in the event that any Designated Senior Claim is secured by the interests of Enrichment Corp constituting collateral securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty, the proceeds from any sale or liquidation of such collateral will be available to pay Enrichment Corp’s obligations under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty after first satisfying Enrichment Corp’s obligation in full under the Designated Senior Claims secured by such collateral. In addition, Enrichment Corp currently has obligations owing to each of PBGC and the United States government and each of the PBGC and the United States government are beneficiaries of certain Federal statutes that entitle them to obtain statutory liens on the assets of Enrichment Corp which liens may be entitled to priority over the security interest securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty.
(f)
There are Limited Restrictions on the Disposition of Collateral Securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty
The trustee and the collateral agent under the New Indenture and the applicable security documents have limited rights to control the collateral securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty, and the sale of assets comprising a substantial portion of such collateral by Enrichment Corp is likely and will reduce the pool of assets securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty.
The New Indenture and the related security documents will allow Enrichment Corp to remain in possession of, retain exclusive control over, freely operate, invest and dispose of any income from, the assets securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty. So long as no default or event of default under the New Indenture and the security documents arises, the trustee and collateral agent under the New Indenture and the applicable security documents have limited rights to limit Enrichment Corp’s conduct of ordinary course activities with respect to the collateral. For example, Enrichment Corp’s business plan contemplates that the LEU comprising a substantial portion of the collateral securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be sold with the proceeds from such sale being used to satisfy Enrichment Corp’s other obligations, including its commitment to fund its defined benefit pension plans and its obligations in connection with the wind down of the Paducah Plant. In addition, it is currently contemplated that Enrichment Corp will advance funds generated, in part, by the sale of these assets to the Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Exit Facility. Accordingly, it is expected that the amount of value of the assets available to secure Enrichment Corp’s obligations under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be reduced over time.
6.
Risks Associated With New Common Stock
(a)
The Value of the New Common Stock is Highly Speculative
The value of the Reorganized Debtor on a going concern basis, and thus the value of the New Common Stock, is highly uncertain and therefore is highly speculative. Any future value will be dependent on the successful commercialization of the American Centrifuge Plant, as to which there is no assurance.
(b)
There is no Current Public Market for the New Common Stock and the Trading Price May be Volatile
The New Common Stock, Class A (the “ Class A Stock ”) will be issued to the holders of Noteholder Claims and the holders of Common Stock Interests/Claims. The Reorganized Debtor intends to cause the Class A Stock to be registered under





Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As a result, the Reorganized Debtor will be required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act with the SEC while the Class A Stock is so registered. Subject to meeting applicable listing standards, the Reorganized Debtor will use commercially reasonably efforts to list the New Common Stock for trading on a national securities exchange as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. There can be no assurance that the Reorganized Debtor will satisfy the listing criteria of any national securities exchange. Unless and until the Class A Stock is listed on any national or regional securities exchange, shares of the Class A Stock may be traded only infrequently in transactions arranged through brokers or otherwise, and reliable market quotations for the Class A Stock may not be available. However, as the Reorganized Debtor will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC so long as it has a security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Class A Stock may be eligible for quotation by certain members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Persons to whom the Class A Stock is issued pursuant to the Plan may prefer to liquidate their investment rather than hold such New Common Stock on a long-term basis. Accordingly, any market that does develop for the Class A Stock may be volatile. Other factors that may further depress or contribute to the volatility of any market for the Class A Stock include: the restrictions on transferability of the New Common Stock discussed below, perceptions as to the general long-term prospects and financial health of the Reorganized Debtor and the likelihood that the Reorganized Debtor will not pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
(c)
Potential Future Issuance of Class A Stock Could Adversely Affect the Future Trading Price
On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will, pursuant to the New USEC Charter have the authority to issue 100,000,000 shares of New Common Stock. Under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor will issue in the aggregate 7,563,600 shares of Class A Stock (i) to the holders of the Allowed Noteholder Claims, (ii) to the holders of the Allowed Common Stock Interests Claims and (iii) pursuant to the New Management Incentive Plan. In addition, under the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will, pursuant to the New USEC Charter, issue an aggregate of 1,436,400 shares of New Common Stock, Class B (the “ Class B Stock ”) to the two holders of the Allowed Preferred Stock Interests/Claims. Under the terms of the Class B Stock as provided in the New USEC Charter, each share of Class B Stock is automatically converted to Class A Stock upon transfer of such share to other than permitted holders of the Class B Stock or their affiliates. In addition, under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor may issue additional shares of New Common Stock issued post-emergence in accordance with the provisions of the New USEC Governing Documents.
Future sales or other issuances of Class A Stock, the perception that such sales or other issuances could occur or the availability for future sale of shares of Class A Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Stock (including pursuant to the shares of Class B Stock issued on the Effective Date) could adversely affect the market prices of the Class A Stock and could impair the Reorganized Debtor’s ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity securities. In addition, under the New USEC Charter, the Reorganized Debtor is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Reorganized Debtor may, in the future, elect to issue shares of preferred stock, which would likely have rights that are senior to the New Common Stock.
(d)
It is Unlikely that the Reorganized Debtor will Pay Dividends in the Foreseeable Future
All of the Reorganized Debtor’s cash flow will be required to be used in the foreseeable future (i) to fund the Reorganized Debtor’s obligations under the Plan, (ii) to make payments of interest on the New Notes, (iii) to continue the commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge Project, and (iv) generally for working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, the terms of the New Note Indenture restrict, and it is expected that the terms of other third-party indebtedness will restrict, the ability of Enrichment Corp to advance funds to the Reorganized Debtor for the purpose of paying dividends. Accordingly, the Reorganized Debtor does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the New Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
(e)
The New USEC Charter Contains Certain Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of the New Common Stock
Under the Debtor’s current certificate of incorporation, the Debtor has certain rights with respect to shares of common stock held beneficially or of record by foreign persons. Foreign persons are defined to include, among others, an individual who is not a U.S. citizen, an entity that is organized under the laws of a non-U.S. jurisdiction and an entity that is controlled by individuals who are not U.S. citizens or by entities that are organized under the laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions. The rights continue under the New USEC Charter to be put in place under the Plan and will apply to the New Common Stock.
Under the New USEC Charter, as under the Debtor’s current certificate of incorporation, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events is a “foreign ownership review event” and triggers the board of directors’ right to take various actions: (1) the beneficial ownership by a foreign person of (a) 5% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of equity securities, (b) 5% or more in voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of equity securities, or (c) less than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of equity securities or less than 5% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of equity securities, if such foreign person is entitled to control the appointment and tenure of any of the Reorganized Debtor’s management positions or any director; (2) the beneficial ownership of any shares of any class of





equity securities by or for the account of a foreign uranium enrichment provider or a foreign competitor (referred to as “contravening persons”); or (3) any ownership of, or exercise of rights with respect to, shares of any class of equity securities or other exercise or attempt to exercise control of the Reorganized Debtor that is inconsistent with, or in violation of, any regulatory restrictions, or that could jeopardize the continued operations of the Reorganized Debtor’s facilities (an “adverse regulatory occurrence”). These rights include requesting information from holders (or proposed holders) of securities, refusing to permit the transfer of securities by such holders, suspending or limiting voting rights of such holders, redeeming or exchanging shares of stock owned by such holders on terms set forth in the New USEC Charter, and taking other actions that the Reorganized Debtor deems necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with the foreign ownership restrictions.
The terms and conditions of the redemption or exchange rights with respect to shares held by foreign persons or contravening persons are as follows:
Redemption price or exchange value: Generally the redemption price or exchange value for any shares of common stock redeemed or exchanged would be their fair market value. However, if the Reorganized Debtor redeems or exchanges shares held by foreign persons or contravening persons and the board of directors in good faith determines that such person knew or should have known that its ownership would constitute a foreign ownership review event (other than shares for which the board determined at the time of the person’s purchase that the ownership of, or exercise of rights with respect to, such shares did not at such time constitute an adverse regulatory occurrence), the redemption price or exchange value is required to be the lesser of fair market value and the person’s purchase price for the shares redeemed or exchanged.
Form of payment: Cash, securities or a combination, valued by the board of directors in good faith.
Notice: At least 30 days’ notice of redemption is required; however, if the Reorganized Debtor has deposited the cash or securities for the redemption or exchange in trust for the benefit of the relevant holders, it may redeem shares held by such holders on the same day that it provides notice.
Accordingly, there are situations in which a foreign stockholder or contravening person could lose the right to vote its shares of New Common Stock or in which the Reorganized Debtor may redeem or exchange shares held by a foreign person or contravening person and in which such redemption or exchange could be at the lesser of fair market value and the person’s purchase price for the shares redeemed or exchanged, which could result in a significant loss for that person.
(f)
Anti-Takeover Provisions Could Delay or Prevent an Acquisition of the Reorganized Debtor
The Reorganized Debtor will continue as a Delaware corporation, and the anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law impose various impediments to the ability of a third party to acquire control of the Reorganized Debtor, even if a change of control would be beneficial to the Reorganized Debtor’s shareholders. Provisions of New USEC Charter or New USEC By-laws may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Reorganized Debtor without the consent of the New Board. Moreover, the New Board may adopt a tax benefit preservation plan or other measures that could increase the cost of, or prevent, a takeover attempt. In addition, the New Indenture governing the New Notes prohibits the Reorganized Debtor from engaging in certain mergers or consolidations unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes the obligations under the New Notes. These various restrictions could deprive shareholders of the opportunity to realize takeover premiums for their shares.
(g)
New Common Stock may be Subject to Restrictions on Resale
See Part V for a discussion of restrictions on resale of the New Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

A.
SOLICITATION ORDER

On [________], 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order that, among other things, determines the dates, procedures and forms applicable to the process of soliciting votes on the Plan and establishes certain procedures with respect to the tabulation of such votes (the “ Solicitation Order ”). A copy of the Solicitation Order is may be obtained free of charge at www.loganandco.com under client name USEC Inc., or by request made to (i) the Debtor’s counsel at Latham & Watkins LLP, 885 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attn: Annemarie Reilly, (212) 751-4864 (facsimile) or Annemarie.Reilly@lw.com (email) or (ii) the Voting Agent, Logan & Company, Inc., at 546 Valley Road, Upper Montclair, New Jersey 07043, (973) 509-3190 (telephone), (973) 509-1131 (facsimile) or USEC@loganandco.com (email).
B.
PARTIES ENTITLED TO VOTE

In general, a holder of a claim or interest may vote to accept or to reject a plan if (a) the claim or interest is “allowed,” which means generally that no party in interest has objected to such claim or interest and (b) the claim or interest is “impaired” by the plan and entitled to receive a recovery under the plan.
Under Bankruptcy Code Section 1124, a class of claims or interests is deemed to be “impaired” under a plan unless (i) the plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable and contractual rights to which such claim or interest entitles the holder thereof or (ii) notwithstanding any legal right to an accelerated payment of such claim or interest, the plan cures all existing defaults (other than defaults resulting from the occurrence of events of bankruptcy) and reinstates the maturity of such claim or interest as it existed before the default.
If, however, the holder of an impaired claim or interest is not entitled to receive or retain any distribution under the plan on account of such claim or interest, although a de minimis distribution is provided under the plan by consent of senior classes, or does not receive or retain any distribution under the plan on account of such claim or interest, the Bankruptcy Code deems such holder to have rejected the plan and, accordingly, holders of such claims and interests do not actually vote on the plan. If a claim or interest is not impaired by the plan, the Bankruptcy Code deems the holder of such claim or interest to have accepted the plan and, accordingly, holders of such claims and interests are not entitled to vote on the plan.
C.
CLASSES ENTITLED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN

Noteholder Claims in Class 5 and Preferred Stock Interests/Claims in Class 6 are deemed to be Allowed under the Plan, are Impaired by the Plan and entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan. Therefore, holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 5 and 6 are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. By operation of law, Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4, which are Unimpaired Classes of Claims, are deemed to have accepted the Plan; and Classes 7 and 8, which are Impaired Classes of Claims and Interests that are not entitled to receive anything under the Plan (notwithstanding the de minimis distribution for Class 7 if Classes 5 and 6 vote to accept the Plan) are deemed to have rejected the Plan. Therefore, the holders of Claims or Interests in Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
D.
VALIDITY OF BALLOTS

Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance, and revocation or withdrawal of ballots will be determined by the Voting Agent and the Debtor in their sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. As indicated below under “Withdrawal of Ballots; Revocation,” effective withdrawals of ballots must be delivered to the Voting Agent prior to the Voting Deadline. The Debtor reserves the absolute right to contest the validity of any such withdrawal. The Debtor also reserves the right to reject any and all ballots not in proper form, the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Debtor or its counsel, be unlawful. The Debtor further reserves the right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of delivery as to any particular ballot. The interpretation (including the ballot and the respective instructions thereto) by the Voting Agent and the Debtor, unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with deliveries of ballots must be cured within such time as the Debtor (or the Bankruptcy Court) determine. Neither the Debtor nor any other Person will be under any duty to provide notification of defects or irregularities with respect to deliveries of ballots nor will any of them incur any





liabilities for failure to provide such notification. Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, delivery of such ballots will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Ballots previously furnished (and as to which any irregularities have not theretofore been cured or waived) will be invalidated.
E.
WITHDRAWAL OF BALLOTS; REVOCATION

Any party who has delivered a valid ballot for the acceptance or rejection of the Plan may withdraw such acceptance or rejection by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Voting Agent at any time prior to the Voting Deadline (or, with the written consent of the Debtor, after the Voting Deadline). To be valid, a notice of withdrawal must (i) contain the description of the Claim(s) or Interest(s) to which it relates and the aggregate principal amount represented by such Claim(s) or Interest(s), (ii) be signed by the withdrawing party in the same manner as the ballot being withdrawn, (iii) contain a certification that the withdrawing party owns the Claim(s) or Interest(s) and possesses the right to withdraw the vote sought to be withdrawn, and (iv) be received by the Voting Agent in a timely manner prior to the Voting Deadline (or thereafter with the written consent of the Debtor) at Logan & Company, Inc., Attention: USEC, Inc., 546 Valley Road, Upper Montclair, New Jersey 07043. The Debtor intends to consult with the Voting Agent to determine whether any withdrawals of ballots were received and whether the requisite acceptances of the Plan have been received. As stated above, the Debtor expressly reserves the absolute right to contest the validity of any such withdrawals of ballots.
Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, a purported notice of withdrawal of ballots which is not received in a timely manner by the Voting Agent will not be effective to withdraw a previously cast ballot. Any party who has previously submitted to the Voting Agent prior to the Voting Deadline a properly completed ballot may revoke such ballot and change his or its vote by submitting to the Voting Agent prior to the Voting Deadline a subsequent properly completed ballot for acceptance or rejection of the Plan. In the case where more than one timely, properly completed ballot is received, only the ballot which bears the latest date will be counted for purposes of determining whether the requisite acceptances have been received.
F.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOLDERS OF NOTEHOLDER CLAIMS

If you are the holder of any Noteholder Claim, or if you are acting on behalf of the holder of any of such Claims, please carefully review the special instructions that accompany your ballot. The special instructions may not be consistent with the general instructions contained in this Disclosure Statement. In the event of an inconsistency, you should follow the special instructions that accompany your ballot.
The Voting Record Date for determining which holders of Old Notes are entitled to vote on the Plan is [________], 2014. The Indenture Trustee for the Old Notes will not vote on behalf of the holders of such notes. Holders must submit their own ballots.
1.
Beneficial Owners
A beneficial owner holding Old Notes as record holder in its own name may vote using either a master ballot or a beneficial owner ballot. The ballot must be completed, signed and returned to the Voting Agent on or before the Voting Deadline using the self-addressed envelope provided.
A beneficial owner holding Old Notes in “street name” through a bank, brokerage firm, other nominee or agent for any such nominee (the “ Nominee ”) may vote on the Plan by one of the following two methods (as selected by such beneficial owner’s Nominee):
Complete and sign the beneficial owner ballot provided by the Nominee. Return the ballot to the Nominee as promptly as possible and in sufficient time to allow such Nominee to process the ballot and return it to the Voting Agent by the Voting Deadline. If no self-addressed envelope was provided by the Nominee, contact the Voting Agent for instructions; or
If the Nominee provides a pre-validated beneficial owner ballot (as described below), complete and sign the pre-validated ballot and return it to the Voting Agent by the Voting Deadline using the return envelope provided in the Solicitation Package.
Any beneficial owner ballot returned to a Nominee by a beneficial owner will not be counted for purposes of acceptance or rejection of the Plan unless such Nominee properly completes and delivers to the Voting Agent either the beneficial owner ballot or a master ballot that reflects the vote of such beneficial owner.
If any beneficial owner owns Old Notes through more than one Nominee, such beneficial owner may receive multiple mailings containing beneficial owner ballots. The beneficial owner should execute a separate ballot for each block of Old Notes





that it holds through any particular Nominee and return each ballot to the respective Nominee in the envelope provided therewith (or directly to the Voting Agent if the beneficial owner receives a pre-validated ballot from its Nominee). Beneficial owners who execute multiple ballots with respect to Old Notes held through more than one Nominee must indicate on each ballot the names of ALL such other Nominees and the additional amounts of such Old Notes so held and voted. If a beneficial owner holds a portion of the Old Notes through a Nominee and another portion as a record holder, the beneficial owner should follow the procedures described for a holder of record for the portion held of record and the procedures described for a holder with a Nominee to vote the portion held through a Nominee.
2.
Nominees
A Nominee that on the Voting Record Date is the registered holder of Old Notes for a beneficial owner can obtain the votes of the beneficial owners of such Old Notes, consistent with customary practices for obtaining the votes of securities held in “street name,” in one of the following two ways:
The Nominee may “pre-validate” a beneficial owner ballot by (i) signing the ballot; (ii) indicating on the ballot the name of the registered holder, the amount of Old Notes held by the Nominee for the beneficial owner, and the account numbers for the accounts in which such Old Notes are held by the Nominee; and (iii) forwarding such ballot, together with the Disclosure Statement, return envelope and other materials requested to be forwarded, to the beneficial owner for voting. The beneficial owner must then complete the information requested in the ballot, review the certifications contained in the ballot, and return the ballot directly to the Voting Agent in the pre-addressed envelope so that it is RECEIVED by the Voting Agent before the Voting Deadline. A list of the beneficial owners to whom “pre-validated” beneficial owner ballots were delivered should be maintained by Nominees for inspection for at least one year form the Voting Deadline; or
If the Nominee elects not to pre-validate the beneficial owner ballot, the Nominee may obtain the votes of beneficial owners by forwarding to the beneficial owners the unsigned beneficial owner ballot, together with the Disclosure Statement, a return envelope provided by, and addressed to, the Nominee, and other materials requested to be forwarded. Each such beneficial owner must then indicate his/her or its vote on the ballot, complete the information requested in the ballot, review the certifications contained in the ballot, execute the ballot, and return the ballot to the Nominee. After collecting the beneficial owner ballot, the Nominee should, in turn, complete a master ballot compiling the votes and other information from the beneficial owner ballot, execute the master ballot, and deliver the master ballot to the Voting Agent so that it is RECEIVED by the Voting Agent before the Voting Deadline. All beneficial owner ballots returned by beneficial owners should either be forwarded to the Voting Agent (along with the master ballot) or retained by Nominees for inspection for at least one year from the Voting Deadline. EACH NOMINEE SHOULD ADVISE ITS BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RETURN THEIR BENEFICIAL OWNER BALLOTS TO THE NOMINEE BY A DATE CALCULATED BY THE NOMINEE TO ALLOW IT TO PREPARE AND RETURN THE MASTER BALLOT OT THE VOTING AGENT SO THAT IT IS RECEIVED BY THE VOTING AGENT BEFORE THE VOTING DEADLINE
UNLESS THE BENEFICIAL OWNER BALLOT OR MASTER BALLOT BEING FURNISHED IS TIMELY SUBMITTED TO THE VOTING AGENT ON OR PRIOR TO THE VOTING DEADLINE, SUCH BALLOT WILL BE REJECTED AS INVALID AND WILL NOT BE COUNTED AS AN ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE DEBTOR RESERVES THE RIGHT, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, EXTEND THE VOTING DEADLINE OR, IF NECESSARY, REQUEST THAT BANKRUPTCY COURT COUNT ANY SUCH BENEFICIAL OWNER BALLOT OR MASTER BALLOT. IN NO CASE SHOULD A BENEFICIAL OWNER BALLOT OR MASTER BALLOT BE DELIVERED TO ANY ENTITY OTHER THAN THE NOMINEE OR THE VOTING AGENT.
3.
Delivery of Old Notes
The Debtor is not at this time requesting the delivery of, and neither the Debtor nor the Voting Agent will accept, certificates representing any Old Notes.

CONFIRMATION PROCEDURES

Bankruptcy Code Section 1128(a) requires the Bankruptcy Court, after appropriate notice, to hold a hearing on confirmation of a plan of reorganization. The Bankruptcy Court scheduled the Confirmation Hearing for [________], 2014 at [__:__] [a./p.]m. Eastern Time. Notice of the Confirmation Hearing will be provided to all known creditors and equity holders or their representatives as required by the Solicitation Order. The Confirmation Hearing may be adjourned from time to time by the Bankruptcy Court without further notice except for an announcement of the adjourned or continued date made at the Confirmation Hearing or any subsequent adjourned Confirmation Hearing.
Bankruptcy Code Section 1128(b) provides that any party in interest may object to confirmation of a plan. Any objection to confirmation of the Plan must be in writing, must conform to the Bankruptcy Rules, must set forth the name of the objecting party, the nature and amount of Claims or Interests held or asserted by the objecting party against the Debtor’s Estate, the basis for the objection and the specific grounds therefor, and must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court, together with proof of service thereof, and served upon (i) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware, attn: Mark Kenney, J.

I.
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

1.
G eneral Requirements
At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a) have been satisfied with respect to the Plan. The Debtor believes that: (i) the Plan satisfies or will satisfy all of the statutory requirements of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) the Debtor has complied or will have complied with all of the requirements of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iii) the Plan has been proposed in good faith. Specifically, the Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies or will satisfy the applicable confirmation requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a) set forth below.
The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtor has complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means proscribed by law.
Any payment made or promised by the Debtor or by a Person issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plan for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Chapter 11 Case, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Case, has been disclosed to the Bankruptcy Court, and any such payment made before confirmation of the Plan is reasonable, or if such payment is to be fixed after confirmation of the Plan, such payment is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable.
The Debtor has disclosed (i) the identity and affiliations of any individual proposed to serve, after Confirmation of the Plan, as a director, officer or voting trustee of the Reorganized Debtor, (ii) any affiliate of the Debtor participating in the Plan with the Debtor, or a successor to the Debtor under the Plan, and (iii) the appointment to, or continuance in, such office of such individual is consistent with the interests of creditors and equity holders and with public policy, and the Debtor has disclosed the identity of any insider that will be employed or retained by the Debtor, and the nature of any compensation for such insider.
Any governmental regulatory commission with jurisdiction, after confirmation of the Plan, over the rates of the Debtor, as applicable, has approved any rate change provided for in the Plan, or such rate change is expressly conditioned on such approval.





With respect to each Impaired Class of Claims or Interests, each holder of an Impaired Claim or Impaired Interest either has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such holder’s Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount such holder would receive or retain if the Debtor was liquidated on the Effective Date under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. See discussion of “Best Interests Test” below.
Except to the extent the Plan meets the “nonconsensual confirmation” standards of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class of Claims or Interests has either accepted the Plan or is not Impaired under the Plan. As to nonconsensual confirmation, see discussion of “Confirmation Without Acceptance By All Impaired Classes” below.
Except to the extent that the holder of a particular Claim has agreed to a different treatment of such Claim, the Plan provides that Administrative Claims, the DIP Facility Claim, Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims will be paid in full on the Distribution Date.
At least one class of Impaired Claims has accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider holding a Claim in such Class.
Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtor or any successor to the Debtor under the Plan, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the Plan. See discussion of “Feasibility” below.
All fees payable under Section 1930 of Title 28, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, have been paid or the Plan provides for the payment of all such fees on the Effective Date of the Plan.
The Plan provides for the continuation after the Effective Date of payment of all retiree benefits (as defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 1114(a)), at the level established pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1114(e)(1)(B) or 1114(g) at any time prior to confirmation of the Plan, for the duration of the period the Debtor has obligated themselves to provide such benefits.
2.
Best Interests Test
Often called the “best interests” test, Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(7) requires that a bankruptcy court find, as a condition to confirmation, that a chapter 11 plan provides, with respect to each impaired class, that each holder of a claim or an equity interest in such class either (a) has accepted the plan or (b) will receive or retain under the plan property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the debtor is liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the effective date of the plan. To make these findings with respect to the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court must: (a) estimate the Cash liquidation proceeds that a chapter 7 trustee would generate if the Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case was converted to a chapter 7 case on the Effective Date of the Plan and the assets of the Debtor’s estate were liquidated; (b) determine the liquidation distribution that each non-accepting holder of a Claim or an Interest would receive from such liquidation proceeds under the priority scheme dictated in Chapter 7; and (c) compare such holder’s liquidation distribution to the distribution that such holder would receive under the Plan if the Plan were confirmed.
In chapter 7 cases, creditors and interest holders of a debtor are paid from available assets generally in the following order, with no junior class receiving any payments until all amounts due to senior classes have been paid in full: (a) holders of secured claims (to the extent of the value of their collateral); (b) holders of priority claims; (c) holders of unsecured claims; (d) holders of debt expressly subordinated by its terms, by order of the bankruptcy court or by law; and (e) holders of equity interests.
Accordingly, the cash amount that would be available for satisfaction of Claims (other than Secured Claims) or Interests would consist of the proceeds resulting from the disposition of the unencumbered assets of the Debtor, augmented by the unencumbered Cash held by the Debtor at the time of the commencement of the liquidation. Such Cash would be reduced by the amount of the costs and expenses of the liquidation and by such additional Administrative Claims and Priority Claims that may result from termination of the Debtor’s business and the use of Chapter 7 for purposes of a liquidation.
(a)
Liquidation Analysis
As described in more detail in the Liquidation Analysis attached as Appendix D to this Disclosure Statement, the Debtor believes that confirmation of the Plan will provide each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in each Impaired Class with a recovery greater than or equal to the value of any distributions if the Chapter 11 Case was converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code because, among other reasons, proceeds received in a chapter 7 liquidation are likely to be discounted due to the distressed nature of the sale of the Debtor’s assets, and the fees and expenses of a chapter 7 trustee would likely further reduce Cash available for distribution. In addition, distributions in a chapter 7 case may not occur for a longer period of time than distributions under the Plan, thereby reducing the present value of such distributions. In this regard, it is possible that distribution





of the proceeds of a liquidation could be delayed for a significant period while the chapter 7 trustee and its advisors become knowledgeable about, among other things, the Chapter 11 Case and the Claims against the Debtor.
(b)
Valuation of the Debtor
Although the Debtor has entered into an extension of the RD&D Program with the DOE that provides funding for 80% of the carrying cost of the American Centrifuge Plant through April 15, 2014, the long-term business prospects for the Debtor, including its ability to successfully commercialize the American Centrifuge Plant, remain highly uncertain and to a large degree out of the Debtor’s direct control. As discussed above, the economics of the American Centrifuge Plant are severely challenged by the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU and related downward pressure on market prices for SWU. As a result, the Debtor does not believe that its plans for commercialization are economically viable without additional U.S. government support (over and above the recently negotiated extension to the RD&D Program and the previously contemplated $2 billion DOE loan guarantee). In addition, the Debtor does not currently have any of the more than $4 billion of required financing in place for the American Centrifuge Plant following the completion of the extended RD&D Program on April 15, 2014, nor does it have funding for the project for the period from the completion of the extended RD&D Program until the closing of financing for commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant. Furthermore, the Debtor does not currently have any of its own funds available to invest in the equity of American Centrifuge Plant in order to retain a meaningful economic stake in the project to the extent it is commercialized. As will be discussed in greater detail below, the Debtor does not have any meaningful forward-looking projections for the American Centrifuge Plant due to the highly uncertain market conditions and numerous variables impacting potential commercialization opportunities.
While the Debtor’s equity interest in Enrichment Corp also represents an asset of the Debtor, the Debtor does not believe that this equity stake today has or in the future will have any realizable value. As described more fully in Part VIII.I.3 below, Enrichment Corp has significant legacy liabilities, including pension and post-retirement healthcare obligations, among others. While Enrichment has sufficient assets and liquidity to fund its liabilities in the normal course, it is highly uncertain and speculative as to whether Enrichment Corp will have sufficient assets to cover its liabilities over the long-term and therefore have any residual equity value that would flow to the Debtor.
As a result of the factors described above, the value of the Reorganized Debtor on a going concern basis is highly uncertain and not quantifiable. Despite not being quantifiable, the Debtor believes there is inherent option value that would accrue to the benefit of the Debtor’s stakeholders as a result of reorganizing pursuant to the Plan as a going concern and being able to continue to pursue the commercialization of the American Centrifuge Plant after emergence from Chapter 11. Importantly, however, in a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation, the Debtor does not believe it has any realizable value over and above the scrap or liquidation value of its assets, which would be negligible.
(c)
Application of the “Best Interests” Test to the Liquidation Analysis and the Valuation Analysis
Despite the valuation of the Reorganized Debtor on a going-concern basis being highly uncertain, the Debtor believes the Plan maximizes the value of the Estate and is in the best interest of all stakeholders. As described in Part VIII.I.2(a) above regarding the Debtor’s liquidation analysis, the Debtor believes a chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtor would result in (i) an administratively insolvent estate and (ii) no recoveries for the holders of General Unsecured Claims, Intercompany Claims, Noteholder Claims, Preferred Stock Interests/Claims or Common Stock Interests/Claims. Pursuant to the Plan, however, each of these aforementioned stakeholders would receive Plan distributions with some value.
A comparison of the estimated recoveries under the Plan to a chapter 7 liquidation for each Impaired Class is provided below.





Claim/Interest
Projected Recovery Under the Plan
Projected Recovery from Chapter 7 Liquidation
Class 5: Noteholder Claims
$200.00 million of New Notes
Cash in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes
79.04% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution)
Estimated Percentage Recovery: 39% for New Notes and Cash only; recovery for New Common Stock is highly speculative and not quantifiable.
0%
Class 6: Preferred Stock Interests/Claims
$40.38 million of New Notes
15.96% of New Common Stock (subject to dilution)
Estimated Percentage Recovery: 35.1% for New Notes only; recovery for New Common Stock is highly speculative and not quantifiable.
0%
Class 7: Common Stock Interests/Claims
5% of New Common Stock (subject to dilution)
Estimated Percentage Recovery: Highly speculative and not quantifiable.
0%
Class 8: Unexercised Common Stock Rights
0%
0%

Accordingly, the Debtor believes that the “best interests” test of Bankruptcy Code Section 1129 is satisfied.

3.
Feasibility

In connection with confirmation of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court will have to determine that the Plan is feasible pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(11), which means that the confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtor, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the Plan. The consideration of feasibility in the Debtor’s case must be informed by the following :
On a consolidated basis, the Company, including the Debtor and its Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, is a leading supplier of LEU for commercial nuclear power plants. LEU is a critical component in the production of nuclear fuel for reactors to produce electricity. The Company’s principal commercial operations, as well as substantially all of its cash and inventory, are owned by Enrichment Corp, which supplies LEU to both domestic and international utilities for use in nuclear reactors worldwide. While the Debtor entity itself is currently developing and attempting to deploy at the American Centrifuge Plant the world’s most advanced uranium enrichment centrifuge technology, the commercial production and sale of LEU based on this technology has not commenced. On a standalone basis, the Debtor’s source of funding comes principally from Enrichment Corp, as well as cost reimbursement from the DOE under the RD&D Program.
Historically, Enrichment Corp sold LEU to third parties from two primary sources: (a) the enrichment of uranium at the Paducah Plant and (b) the purchase of LEU as the exclusive executive agent for the U.S. government under the Russian Contract. Enrichment Corp is currently undergoing a period of transition as it ceased enrichment at the Paducah Plant at the end of May 2013 and the Russian Contract expired on December 31, 2013. Today, Enrichment Corp is preparing to be a significantly smaller company with lower revenues as it transitions from having two sources of supply that provided approximately 10 to 12 million SWU per year to making sales from its existing inventory and from future purchases of commercial LEU from Russia pursuant to the Russian Supply Agreement at lower quantities than under the Russian Contract.
Enrichment Corp is currently in the process of transitioning the Paducah site back to the DOE, which may be completed in 2014. This transition process requires a complex set of activities and negotiations with the DOE regarding turnover requirements of the property, as well as significant ongoing operational activities. Enrichment Corp has completed repackaging existing inventory and is transferring such inventory to off-site locations to meet future customer orders well into 2018. Over the longer-term, and following the de-lease of the Paducah Plant, Enrichment Corp expects to continue its operations as a going concern by selling its substantial inventory, as well as commercial LEU purchased from Russia, to customers under backlog and through new commercial sales. The cash proceeds generated from such sales will be devoted to funding ongoing operating costs, as well as Enrichment Corp’s legacy liabilities, and supporting the operating costs of the Debtor. Enrichment Corp has significant legacy liabilities, including both pension and post-retirement healthcare obligations, among others, for its current and former employees. Despite these





obligations, Enrichment Corp expects to be able to satisfy these liabilities in the ordinary course from the monetization of its sizable LEU inventory, as well as operating profits from the sale of purchased Russian LEU to customers, for the reasonably foreseeable future.
As described above, the Debtor is working to deploy at the American Centrifuge Plant a highly efficient uranium enrichment gas centrifuge technology. The American Centrifuge technology requires 95% less electricity to produce LEU on a per SWU unit basis than the gaseous diffusion technology previously utilized at the Paducah Plant. The American Centrifuge technology is a disciplined evolution of classified U.S. technology that was originally developed and successfully demonstrated by the DOE during the 1960’s through the 1980’s. The Debtor has improved this technology through advanced materials, updated electronics and design enhancements based on highly advanced computer modeling capabilities and is working to deploy this technology at the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio. This new facility would provide the Debtor with a long-term competitive source of uranium enrichment. As the only domestic enrichment facility using U.S. technology, the Debtor believes the American Centrifuge Program will be critical to the long-term energy security and national security interests of the United States. As of December 31, 2013, the Debtor has invested approximately $2.5 billion on the development of the American Centrifuge Plant, in addition to the over $3 billion invested by the DOE in the original program. The Debtor began construction on the American Centrifuge Plant in May 2007. To complete the construction and commercialization of the American Centrifuge Plant, over $4 billion of additional capital investment is required, as well as market conditions supporting a price for enriched uranium that will provide an adequate return on such an investment.
As part of the original plan to raise such capital, in July 2008, the Debtor applied for a $2 billion loan guarantee for the project under the DOE Loan Guarantee Program. However, instead of moving forward with a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee, in the fall of 2011, the DOE proposed the RD&D Program as a cooperative cost-sharing research, development and demonstration program, deferring efforts to raise capital for and commercialize the American Centrifuge Plant until sometime in the future. Accordingly, construction activities on the American Centrifuge Plant were significantly demobilized in recent years and are not expected to be remobilized until financing for the commercial deployment of the project, including the DOE loan guarantee, are in place.
The Debtor and its affiliate AC Demonstration entered into the RD&D Cooperative Agreement with the DOE on June 12, 2012. Through 15 subsequent amendments to the original agreement, the RD&D Program has been extended through April 15, 2014. The RD&D Cooperative Agreement provides for 80% DOE and 20% Debtor cost sharing (ultimately funded by Enrichment Corp) for work performed during the RD&D Program. The total estimated cost of the RD&D Program is $350 million, of which the DOE provides $280 million and the Debtor provides $70 million. The DOE’s contribution has been and continues to be incrementally funded. However, given the market challenges in commercializing this technology, the RD&D Program provides the only option to demonstrate the capability of the technology.
The objectives of the RD&D Program are to demonstrate the American Centrifuge technology through the construction and operation of a commercial demonstration cascade of 120 centrifuge machines and sustain the domestic U.S. centrifuge technical and industrial base for national security purposes and potential commercialization of the American Centrifuge technology. The RD&D Program provided for various technical and operational milestones to reduce the technical risks and improve the future prospects of deployment of the American Centrifuge technology. Over the course of 18 months, the Debtor met these objectives through the construction and operation of one complete commercial-scale cascade and supporting infrastructure. Among other achievements, the Debtor has demonstrated the redundancy of the primary cascade support systems for commercial plant operation and completed integrated system testing against operational requirements. In December 2013, the cascade achieved 20-machine years of operations at commercial plant specifications. During that performance run, the Debtor successfully completed three important milestones demonstrating centrifuge manufacturing quality, centrifuge operational reliability and sustained production of greater than 340 SWU at commercial conditions for 20-machine years. To date, the Debtor has achieved or exceeded all of the milestones and performance indicators on or ahead of schedule and on or under budget.
As described above, the Company’s business is in a state of significant transition as it moves from the gaseous diffusion technology employed for more than 60 years to a modern, cost-effective gas centrifuge technology. Managing this transition has been made more challenging by current enrichment market conditions. In March 2011, a tsunami resulting from a major earthquake caused irreparable damage to four reactors in Japan and subsequently resulted in more than 50 reactors in Japan and Germany being taken off-line in the aftermath of the tsunami. The Japanese reactors will remain off-line for an undetermined period of time until federal and local approval is obtained for re-start. In recent months, sixteen reactors have begun restart procedures with nuclear regulatory authorities, but no reactor is expected to return to operational status until mid-2014. In addition, low prices for competing fuels such as natural gas in the United States could slow the need for new base load nuclear power capacity and have resulted





in early retirement of five U.S. nuclear plants. Germany has announced a national policy to phase out nuclear power by 2022. Together, these shutdowns have significantly affected the global supply and demand for LEU; and if there is a delay or reduction in the number of Japanese reactor restarts, the impact could worsen. An oversupply of nuclear fuel available for sale has increased over time and has resulted in significant downward pressure on market prices for LEU, where current market prices are more than 30% below prices prior to the Japanese tsunami in 2011. In particular, based on current market conditions, the Debtor sees limited uncommitted demand for LEU relative to supply prior to the end of the decade, and therefore fewer opportunities to make additional sales for delivery during that period. The difficult market conditions have affected the Debtor’s business plans to date, including the decision to cease enrichment at the Paducah Plant, and pressured the economics associated with the Debtor’s plan to deploy the American Centrifuge technology.
Despite these market challenges, the Debtor plans to incorporate the 120-machine cascade that was constructed and tested pursuant to the RD&D Program in a full commercial plant of 96 identical cascades. It is in the process of re-evaluating its plan and alternatives for proceeding with the financing and commercialization of the American Centrifuge Plant. Factors that can affect this plan include key variables related to project cost, schedule, market demand and market prices for LEU, financing costs and other financing terms. The Debtor has experienced cost pressures due to delays in deployment of the project. Furthermore, and as described above, the economics of the project are severely challenged by the current supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU and related downward pressure on spot market prices for SWU that are now at their lowest levels in more than a decade. At current market prices the Debtor does not believe that its original plans for commercialization of the American Centrifuge Plant are economically viable without additional U.S. government support beyond a DOE loan guarantee. In addition, the Debtor does not currently have any of the more than $4 billion of required financing in place for the American Centrifuge Plant following the completion of the extended RD&D Program on April 15, 2014, and the Debtor anticipates that funding will be needed for the project for the period from the completion of the extended RD&D Program until the closing of financing for commercial deployment of the American Centrifuge Plant. The amount of any such funding would depend on the level of operations, manufacturing and other project infrastructure that is to be maintained in order to maintain a domestic enrichment capability to meet national security requirements and in order to support a potential future ramp up to commercialization, as well as the length of time until financing could be obtained for the American Centrifuge Plant.
As a result of these current market conditions, the Debtor’s short-term prospects to maintain the infrastructure that has been developed requires funding from the DOE. Financial projections for the commercialization of the American Centrifuge Program do not exist given the uncertainty in many of the key variables necessary to justify financing, development and construction of the American Centrifuge Plant at its full scale. However, the Debtor believes that the DOE has acknowledged the importance of maintaining a domestic enrichment capability to serve national security, nonproliferation and energy independence needs and that with the cessation of enrichment at the Paducah Plant in June 2013, the U.S. for the first time in over 60 years has no domestic source of uranium enrichment “in operation” that can support these policy imperatives. Specifically, the Debtor believes that the DOE recognizes that the American Centrifuge technology is now the only available source of domestic enrichment capability that can (a) provide LEU for the production of tritium needed to maintain the U.S. nuclear deterrent and (b) meet U.S. nonproliferation objectives by continuing to have a leadership role based on an advanced U.S. enrichment technology with a domestic supply availability absent foreign influence and control.
Continuation of the current RD&D Program is dependent upon funding from the DOE. As mentioned above, DOE funding has consistently been provided on an incremental basis. The Debtor has been working constructively with the DOE in providing options to maintain the existing infrastructure and expand capacity to meet national security requirements at various funding levels subject to federal budgetary constraints. As commercialization of the full capacity of the American Centrifuge Plant requires a significant change in the current market conditions, the timing of such changes being unpredictable, the Debtor has provided the DOE with a range of options to maintain a domestic enrichment capability to achieve its national security needs. While funding of the current RD&D Program goes through April 15, 2014, the government fiscal year 2014 omnibus appropriations bill passed by Congress and signed by the President on January 17, 2014, appropriates $62 million for the RD&D Program for the current government fiscal year 2014. These appropriated funds include the cost reimbursement through April 15, 2014, and the balance of these appropriated funds could extend the current program for another 30 to 45 days. The omnibus appropriations bill also provides the DOE with authority to transfer up to an additional $56.65 million of funding within the DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration appropriations to fund the RD&D program subject to further approval of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. Such funding could extend the current or a successor program through the balance of the government fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. While the feasibility of receiving additional funding past the completion of the extended RD&D Program from the U.S. government is uncertain, the Debtor remains optimistic that short-term and long-term funding plans for the commercialization of the American





Centrifuge Project can be developed in cooperation with the DOE and Congress given the strategic importance of maintaining a domestic source of enriched uranium. Accordingly, the Debtor is working cooperatively with the DOE and Congress to continue the path towards the deployment of the American Centrifuge technology for national security purposes and commercially once future commercialization is both viable and appropriate.
To best position the Debtor to commercialize the American Centrifuge Plant in the future and maximize the likelihood of receiving ongoing U.S. government funding, the Debtor needs to strengthen its balance sheet and address the impending October 2014 maturity of the Old Notes, as well as improve its liquidity position and financial flexibility. Each of these objectives is addressed by the balance sheet restructuring contemplated in the Plan. First, the Old Notes would be replaced by a smaller quantum of New Notes that have a maturity no earlier than five years from the Effective Date (with an automatic extension to ten years if certain conditions are satisfied). Second, the Debtor’s liquidity position would be strengthened over time given the ability to pay in kind a portion of the interest expense on the New Notes, thus reducing the cash interest burden on the Debtor. Finally, the New Note Indenture contains minimal covenants, thus providing the Debtor with ongoing financial flexibility to continue to pursue the development and commercialization of the American Centrifuge Plant. Implementing the restructuring now also enables the Debtor to improve its balance sheet ahead of the future decision by the DOE and the U.S. Congress in the near term regarding the continuation of funding for the RD&D Program or a successor program for the balance of government fiscal year 2014 and for government fiscal year 2015.
As outlined herein, the Debtor does not have any of its own liquidity to fund its share of the extended RD&D Program, the debt service on the New Notes or other operating expenses after emergence. As a result, the Plan contemplates Enrichment Corp continuing to provide funding to the Reorganized Debtor, as it has in the past to the Debtor, through the Exit Facility, in the form a secured intercompany credit agreement. Because any funding by Enrichment Corp, both now and in the future, is on a discretionary basis, Enrichment Corp will only provide such funding if the Debtor is on a plausible path to continuing to attract ongoing U.S. government support and funding for the American Centrifuge Project, while at the same time ensuring Enrichment Corp has sufficient liquidity to fund its own obligations, including its legacy liabilities, in the normal course. To do so, a balance sheet restructuring of the Debtor is necessary, both because of the impending maturity of the Old Notes and as a prerequisite to achieving ongoing U.S. government support and funding. If Enrichment Corp were to cease funding the operations of the Debtor, the Debtor would have no choice but to pursue a liquidation in chapter 11 or chapter 7 given its inability to fund its own operations.    
4.
Acceptance By Impaired Classes
The Bankruptcy Code requires, as a condition to confirmation, that, except as described in the following section, each class of claims or equity interests that is impaired under a plan, accept the plan. A class that is not “impaired” under a plan is deemed to have accepted the plan and, therefore, solicitation of acceptances with respect to such class is not required. A class is “impaired” unless the plan either (a) leaves unaltered the legal, equitable and contractual rights to which the claim or the equity interest entitles the holder of such claim or equity interest or (b) cures any default, reinstates the original terms of such obligation and otherwise leaves unaltered the legal, equitable and contractual rights to which the claim or the equity interest entitles the holder of such claim or equity interest.
Bankruptcy Code Section 1126(c) defines acceptance of a plan by a class of impaired claims as acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of claims in that class, but for that purpose counts only those creditors who actually vote to accept or to reject the plan. Thus, a class of claims will have voted to accept the plan only if two-thirds in amount and a majority in number actually voting cast their ballots in favor of acceptance. Bankruptcy Code Section 1126(d), in turn, defines acceptance of a plan by a class of impaired interests as acceptance by the holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount of the allowed interests of such class that have voted to accept or reject the plan.
Claims in Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 are not Impaired under the Plan, and, as a result, the holders of such Claims are deemed to have accepted the Plan. Claims and Interests in Classes 5 and 6 are Impaired under the Plan, and the holders of Claims and Interests in such Classes are entitled to vote on the Plan. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1129, the holders of Claims and Interests in the Voting Classes must accept the Plan for the Plan to be confirmed without application of the “fair and equitable test” to such Classes, and without considering whether the Plan “discriminates unfairly” with respect to such Classes, as both standards are described herein. As stated above, holders of Noteholder Claims in Class 6 will have accepted the Plan if the Plan is accepted by at least two-thirds in dollar amount and a majority in number of the Claims of such Class (other than any Claims of voters designated under Bankruptcy Code Section 1126(e)) that have actually voted to accept or reject the Plan. As stated above, holders of USEC Preferred Stock Interests in Class 7 will have accepted the Plan if the Plan is accepted by at least two-thirds in dollar amount of the Allowed Interests of such Class (other than any Interests of voters designated under Bankruptcy Code Section 1126(e)) that have actually voted to accept or reject the Plan.





Claims and Interests in Classes 7 and 8 are Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan. The Debtor, therefore, will request confirmation of the Plan, as it may be modified from time to time, under Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b) as more fully described below with respect to such Classes.
5.
Confirmation Without Acceptance By All Impaired Classes

Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b) allows a bankruptcy court to confirm a plan even if less than all impaired classes entitled to vote on the plan have accepted it, provided that the plan has been accepted by at least one impaired class of claims. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b), notwithstanding an Impaired Class’s rejection or deemed rejection of the Plan, the Plan can be confirmed, at the Debtor’s request, in a procedure commonly known as “cram down,” so long as the Plan does not “discriminate unfairly” (as discussed below) and is “fair and equitable” (as discussed below) with respect to each Class of Claims or Interests that is Impaired under, and has not accepted, the Plan.
(a)
No Unfair Discrimination
The “unfair discrimination” test applies to classes of claims or equity interests that are of equal priority and are receiving different treatment under a plan. The test does not require that the treatment be the same or equivalent, but that such treatment not be “unfair.” In general, bankruptcy courts consider whether a plan discriminates unfairly in its treatment of classes of claims of equal rank (e.g., classes of the same legal character). Bankruptcy courts will take into account a number of factors in determining whether a plan discriminates unfairly, and, accordingly, a plan could treat two classes of unsecured creditors in a materially different manner without unfairly discriminating against either class. This test only applies to classes that reject or that are deemed to have rejected a plan.
(b)
Fair And Equitable Test
The “fair and equitable” test applies to classes of different priority and status ( e.g. , secured versus unsecured claims, or unsecured claims versus equity interests) and includes the general requirement that no class of claims receive more than 100% of the amount of the allowed claims in such class. This test only applies to classes that reject or that are deemed to have rejected the plan. As to the rejecting class, the test, among other things, sets different standards depending on whether the test is being applied to claims or interests in such class:
Unsecured Claims . The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of unsecured claims includes the following requirement that either:
(a) the plan provides that each holder of a claim of such class receive or retain on account of such claim property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the allowed amount of such claim; or
(b) the holder of any claim or interest that is junior to the claims of such class will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior claim or interest any property.
Equity Interests . The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of equity interests includes the requirements that either:
(a) the plan provides that each holder of an interest of such class receive or retain on account of such interest property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the greatest of the allowed amount of any fixed liquidation preference to which such holder is entitled, any fixed redemption price to which such holder is entitled, or the value of such interest; or
(b) the holder of any interest that is junior to the interests of such class will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior interest any property.
The Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies the requirements of Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(b) as to Classes 7 and 8.
J. CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN

The Plan will be consummated on the Effective Date. The Debtor expects consummation of the Plan to occur on or within 90 days of the Petition Date, subject to the schedule of the Bankruptcy Court. Under the Plan Support Agreements, the Effective Date must occur within 100 days of the Petition Date to avoid a termination event, which if not waived could result in loss of support for the Plan by the parties thereto. For a more detailed discussion of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the Plan, see Article VIII of the Plan.





IX.

ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN

If the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, the Debtor’s capital structure will remain highly leveraged and, as a consequence, the Debtor’s ability to achieve its strategic business objectives involving the American Centrifuge Plant will be jeopardized. In that event, the Debtor’s future prospects and ability to honor its debt obligations will be uncertain. Accordingly, if the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, the alternatives include the following:
A.
“TRADITIONAL” CHAPTER 11 CASE

The Plan has been proposed on a “prearranged” basis for the purpose of achieving an expeditious exit from Chapter 11. If the Plan is not confirmed and consummated on that basis, the Debtor will remain in Chapter 11 subject to the “traditional” process. That means that the Debtor would continue to operate its business and manage its property as debtor in possession while it seeks to formulate, negotiate, propose and solicit another plan during the course of the chapter 11 proceeding. It is not clear whether the Debtor could survive as a going concern in a protracted chapter 11 case. It could have difficulty sustaining operations in the face of the high costs and it could suffer loss of key employees and other key business relationships - most significantly the relations with the federal government. Moreover, it is possible that if the Debtor remained a chapter 11 debtor in possession for an extended period of time, its Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, and particularly Enrichment Corp, could begin to experience problems with customers, suppliers and employees. Enrichment Corp itself may be forced to discontinue acting as the DIP Facility Lender. Ultimately, the Debtor could propose another plan or liquidate the Debtor under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any further proceedings under Chapter 11, however, would be subject to the availability of postpetition financing, which may not be available from Enrichment Corp or a third-party lender.
B.
ALTERNATIVE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

    In formulating and developing the Plan, the Debtor explored numerous other alternatives and engaged in an extensive negotiating process involving many different parties with widely disparate interests. If the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, the Debtor will be required to pursue an alternative plan of reorganization. That will require that the Debtor re-engage with such parties in an effort to negotiate a plan that will receive the requisite acceptances and satisfy the requirements for confirmation, leading inevitably to an expensive and protracted Chapter 11 Case, the availability of financing for which is uncertain. Although a new plan of reorganization could be similar to the Plan, it could also be substantially different, and the treatment of Claims and Interests could be materially less beneficial to creditors and stockholders that what is proposed in the Plan. In addition, assuming the continuing availability of postpetition financing, as to which there is no certainty, the delay caused by pursuing a new plan process could interfere with and prejudice the Debtor’s ability to achieve its strategic business objectives relating to the American Centrifuge Plant.
C.
LIQUIDATION UNDER CHAPTER 7 OR CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

If no plan is confirmed and consummated, the Debtor’s case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which a trustee would be elected or appointed to liquidate the Debtor’s assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. It is impossible to predict precisely how the proceeds of the liquidation would be distributed to the respective holders of Claims against or Interests in the Debtor.
The Debtor believes that in a liquidation under Chapter 7, additional administrative expenses involved in the appointment of a trustee and attorneys, accountants and other professionals to assist such trustee would cause a substantial diminution in the value of the Debtor’s Estate. The assets available for distribution to creditors would be reduced by such additional expenses and by Claims, some of which would be entitled to priority, arising by reason of the liquidation and from the rejection of unexpired leases and executory contracts in connection with the cessation of operations and the failure to realize the greater going concern value of the Debtor’s assets. More importantly, conversion to a chapter 7 liquidation would likely result in the immediate cessation of the Debtor’s business, as most chapter 7 trustees are disinclined to continue operations.
The Debtor could also be liquidated pursuant to the provisions of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization, although the highly regulated nature of the Debtor’s business will present challenges that are not present in the context of other businesses seeking to liquidate in Chapter 11. Moreover, the Debtor would require postpetition financing either from Enrichment Corp or a third-party lender, and the availability of such financing is uncertain. In a liquidation under Chapter 11, the Debtor’s assets theoretically could be sold in an orderly fashion over a more extended period of time than in a liquidation under Chapter 7, thus resulting in a potentially greater recovery. Conversely, to the extent the Debtor’s business incurs operating losses, the Debtor’s efforts to liquidate its assets over a longer period of time theoretically could result in a lower net distribution to creditors than they would receive through a chapter 7 liquidation. Nevertheless, because there would be no need to appoint a chapter 7 trustee and to hire new





professionals, a chapter 11 liquidation might be less costly than a chapter 7 liquidation and thus provide larger net distributions to creditors than in chapter 7 liquidation. Any recovery in a chapter 11 liquidation, while potentially greater than in a chapter 7 liquidation, would also be highly uncertain.
Although preferable to a chapter 7 liquidation, the Debtor believes that any alternative liquidation under Chapter 11 is a much less attractive alternative to creditors than the Plan because of the greater return anticipated by the Plan. Moreover, a liquidation would either be the death knell for the American Centrifuge Plant or would result in third parties receiving the future benefit from its development rather than the Debtor’s creditors and stockholders.







RECOMMENDATION
In the opinion of the Debtor, the Plan is preferable to the alternatives described in this Disclosure Statement because it provides for a larger or equal distribution to the Debtor’s creditors and stockholders than would otherwise result through liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Any alternative other than confirmation and consummation of the Plan could result in extensive delays and increased administrative expenses that could disrupt the Debtor’s business, adversely impact the value of that business, and negatively impact the ability of the Debtor to achieve its strategic business objectives.
Accordingly, the Debtor recommends that holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote on the Plan cast their Ballots to accept the Plan and support confirmation of the Plan.

ARTICLE VI
TREATMENT OF CONTRACTS AND LEASES
6.1    Assumed Contracts and Leases
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or the Plan Supplement, as of the Effective Date, the Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each executory contract or unexpired lease to which the Debtor is a party as of the Petition Date unless any such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected upon motion by a Final Order, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms, (iii) is the subject of any pending motion, including to assume, to assume on modified terms, to reject or to make any other disposition filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) is subsequently rejected in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2(c) of the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a) approving the contract and lease assumptions described above, as of the Effective Date.
(b)    Each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed shall include (i) all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affects such contract or lease and (ii) all contracts or leases appurtenant to the subject premises, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, reciprocal easement agreements, vaults, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem related to such premises, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
(c)    To the extent applicable, all executory contracts or unexpired leases of the Debtor assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not be a “change in control,” however such term may be defined in the relevant executory contract or unexpired lease, and any required consent under any such contract or lease shall be deemed satisfied by the Confirmation of the Plan.
6.2    Payments Related to Assumption of Contracts and Leases; Resolution of Assumption-Related Disputes
(a)    Any monetary amounts by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied, under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(b)(1) by Cure. The Debtor shall, at its option, be permitted to resolve any dispute with respect to the amount of Cure either (i) through the Bankruptcy Court, or (ii) in the procedural manner in which a dispute regarding the amounts owed under a particular executory contract and unexpired lease would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.
(b)    If there is a dispute regarding (i) the nature or amount of any Cure, (ii) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 365) under the contract or lease to be assumed, or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, Cure shall occur following (y) the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption if such dispute is adjudicated in the Bankruptcy Court, or (z) as to amounts under the executory contract or unexpired lease, following the final resolution of such matter if the Debtor elected to handle such dispute in the procedural manner in which it would have been settled, determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.





(c)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing subsections of this Section 6.2, the Debtor shall be authorized to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to the extent the Debtor, in the exercise of its sound business judgment, concludes that the amount of the Cure obligation as determined by Final Order or as otherwise finally resolved, renders assumption of such contract or lease unfavorable to the Debtor’s Estate. In the event the Debtor so rejects any previously assumed contract or lease, and such rejection gives rise to a Rejection Damages Claim, such Rejection Damages Claim arising out of such rejection shall be limited to the amount of the Allowed Rejection Damage Claim.
6.3    Rejected Contracts and Leases
The Debtor, with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders, reserves the right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, to seek to reject any executory contract or unexpired lease to which the Debtor is a party and to file a motion requesting authorization for the rejection of any such contract or lease. Any executory contracts or unexpired leases that expire by their terms prior to the Effective Date are deemed to be rejected, unless previously assumed or otherwise disposed of by the Debtor.
6.4    Compensation and Benefit Programs
(a)    Except to the extent (i) otherwise provided for in the Plan, (ii) previously assumed or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or before the Confirmation Date, (iii) the subject of a pending motion to reject filed by the Debtor on or before the Confirmation Date, or (iv) previously terminated, all Employee Programs in effect before the Effective Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed under the Plan. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to modify the existing terms of Employee Programs, including, without limitation, the Debtor’s and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights of termination and amendment thereunder.
(b)    To the extent any “change in control” provision contained in any Employee Program would be triggered and payable solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, such Employee Program shall not be assumed to the extent a waiver of the change in control provision is not executed by the employee having the benefit of such change in control provision, but otherwise shall remain in full force and effect and may be triggered as a result of any transactions occurring after the Effective Date.
(c)    As of the Effective Date, any and all equity incentive plans, equity ownership plans, or any other equity-based plans entered into before the Effective Date, including Claims arising from any change in control provision therein, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are rejected pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan pursuant to the Confirmation Order, provided, however, that nothing contained herein will impact any Cash payment components of any such equity-based plans.
(d)    The Reorganized Debtor affirms and agrees that (i) it is and will continue to be the contributing sponsor of the Employees’ Retirement Plan of USEC Inc. (the “Pension Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1301-1461, et seq; (ii) the Pension Plan is subject to minimum funding requirements of ERISA and §§ 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) no provision of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or Bankruptcy Code Section 1141, shall, or shall be construed to, discharge, release, or relieve the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any other party, in any capacity, from any liability with respect to the Pension Plan under any law, governmental policy, or regulatory provision; and (iv) neither the PBGC nor the Pension Plan shall be enjoined from enforcing such liability as a result of the Plan’s provisions for satisfaction, release and discharge of Claims. The Debtor further affirms and agrees that any discharge of liability provided under this Plan shall not operate to discharge any obligations it might have under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to any tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan maintained by Enrichment Corp, one of the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, as a result of the Debtor’s status as a member of the “controlled group” for such pension plan. As of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall contribute to the Pension Plan the amount necessary to satisfy minimum funding standards under sections 302 and 303 of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1082 and 1083, and sections 412 and 430 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent that any such contributions were not made during the Chapter 11 Case.
6.5    Certain Indemnification Obligations
(a)    Indemnification Obligations owed to those of the Debtor’s directors, officers, and employees serving prior to, on, and after the Petition Date shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan, and such Indemnification Obligations (subject to any defenses thereto) shall survive the Effective Date of the Plan and remain unaffected by the Plan, irrespective of whether obligations are owed in connection with a prepetition or postpetition occurrence.





(b)    Indemnification Obligations owed to any of the Debtor’s Professionals pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327 or 328 and order of the Bankruptcy Court, whether such Indemnification Obligations relate to the period before or after the Petition Date, shall be deemed to be, and shall be treated as though they are, contracts that are assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 under the Plan.
6.6    Extension of Time to Assume or Reject
Notwithstanding anything set forth in Article VI of the Plan, in the event of a dispute as to whether a contract is executory or a lease is unexpired, the Debtor’s right to move to assume or reject such contract or lease shall be extended until the date that is thirty (30) days after entry of a Final Order by the Bankruptcy Court determining that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired. The deemed assumption provided for in Section 6.1(a) of the Plan shall not apply to any such contract or lease, and any such contract or lease shall be assumed or rejected only upon motion of the Debtor following the Bankruptcy Court’s determination that the contract is executory or the lease is unexpired.
6.7    Claims Arising from Assumption or Rejection
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all (i) Allowed Claims arising from the assumption of any contract or lease shall be treated as Administrative Claims pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Plan; and (ii) Allowed Rejection Damages Claims shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 3.2(c) of the Plan.
(b)    If the rejection by the Debtor, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, of a contract or lease results in a Rejection Damages Claim, then such Rejection Damages Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor or the properties of either of them unless a Proof of Claim is (i) filed with the Claims Agent on or before the date that is the first Business Day that is thirty (30) days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of an order authorizing the rejection of a contract or lease and (ii) contemporaneously with such filing, served upon (a) if such filing occurs prior to the Effective Date, counsel to the Debtor and counsel to the Consenting Noteholders or (b) if such filing occurs after the Effective Date, counsel to the Reorganized Debtor. All rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to object to any Rejection Damages Claim are reserved.

ARTICLE VII
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
7.1    Determination of Allowability of Claims and Interests and Rights to Distributions
(a)    Only holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests shall be entitled to receive distributions under the Plan.
(b)    Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including, inter alia, with respect to Rejection Damage Claims and Claims subject to Bankruptcy Code Section 510(b)), there shall be no requirement for holders of Claims to file Proofs of Claim or Requests for Payment or for holders of Interests to file any proofs of interest. With respect to Filed Claims or filed Proofs of Interest, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to object to the Proofs of Claim, Requests for Payment or Proofs of Interest in the Bankruptcy Court by the Claims Objection Deadline, but shall not be required to do so. In no event shall the failure to object in the Bankruptcy Court to any Filed Claim or any proof of interest result in the deemed allowance of any such Claim or Interest. The Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to dispute all alleged Claims (whether Filed Claims or Unfiled Claims) and alleged Interests (whether or evidenced by a filed proof of interest) in any manner that would have been available to it had the Chapter 11 Case not been filed (including, without limitation, by declining to pay any alleged Claim or to recognize any alleged Interest), or may elect in its discretion to have any alleged Claim or Interest adjudicated by the Bankruptcy Court.
(c)    No distributions shall be made on Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests until and unless such Disputed Claims become Allowed Claims and such Disputed Interests become Allowed Interests. No reserve shall be required with respect to any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest.
7.2    Timing of Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests





Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as of the applicable Distribution Date shall be made on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Distribution Date, but in no event later than the first Business Day that is twenty (20) days after such date; provided, however, that distributions on account of Noteholder Claims hereunder shall be made on the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtor or the Disbursing Agent shall have the right, in its discretion, to accelerate any Distribution Date occurring after the Effective Date if the facts and circumstances so warrant.
7.3    Procedures for Making Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests
(a)    On or before the Effective Date, the Debtor (with the consent of the Majority Consenting Noteholders) shall designate the Person(s) (whether the Reorganized Debtor and/or one or more independent third parties) to serve as the Disbursing Agent(s) under the Plan; provided, however, that (i) the Indenture Trustee shall serve as the Disbursing Agent with respect to the Noteholder Claims and (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall transmit distributions to the Noteholders subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to assert the Indenture Trustee’s Charging Lien against such distributions. If any Disbursing Agent is an independent third party, such Disbursing Agent shall receive, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from the Reorganized Debtor. No Disbursing Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Plan to the contrary, the distribution provisions contained in the Old Indenture shall continue in effect to the extent necessary to authorize the Indenture Trustee to receive and distribute to the Noteholders pursuant to this Plan on account of Allowed Noteholder Claims and shall terminate completely upon completion of all such distributions.
(b)    The Disbursing Agent(s) shall make distributions to the holders of the Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in the same manner and to the same addresses as payments are made in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s businesses; provided, however, that if a Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest references a different payment address, the address on the Filed Claim or filed Proof of Interest shall be used.
(c)     If any holder’s distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent is notified by the Debtor, the Claims Agent, or such holder of such holder’s then current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest. If any distribution is made by check and such check is not returned but remains uncashed for six (6) months after the date of such check, the Disbursing Agent may cancel and void such check, and the distribution with respect thereto shall be deemed undeliverable. If, pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Plan, any holder is requested to provide an applicable Internal Revenue Service form or to otherwise satisfy any tax withholding requirements with respect to a distribution and such holder fails to do so within six (6) months of the date of such request, such holder’s distribution shall be deemed undeliverable.
(d)    Unless otherwise agreed between the Reorganized Debtor and the applicable Disbursing Agent, amounts in respect of returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor shall be returned to the Reorganized Debtor until such distributions are claimed. All claims for returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distributions must be made (i) on or before the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) with respect to any distribution made later than such date, on or before six (6) months after the date of such later distribution; after which date all undeliverable property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor free of any restrictions thereon and the claims of any holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary. In the event of a timely claim for any returned or otherwise undeliverable or unclaimed distribution, the Reorganized Debtor shall deliver the applicable distribution amount or property to the Disbursing Agent for distribution pursuant to the Plan.
7.4    Calculation of Distribution Amounts of New Securities
No fractional shares of New Securities shall be issued or distributed under the Plan. Each Person entitled to receive New Securities shall receive the total number of whole shares of New Common Stock or their pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes, whichever is relevant, to which such Person is entitled. Whenever any distribution to a particular Person would otherwise call for distribution of a fraction of New Securities, the actual distribution of such New Securities shall be rounded to the next higher or lower whole number as follows: (a) fractions one-half (½) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half (½) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Person is entitled to New Common Stock and rounding to the next lower whole number would result in such Person receiving zero shares of New Common Stock, such Person shall receive one (1) share of New Common Stock; and (b) if the Person is entitled to a pro rata share in principal amount of New Notes and rounding to the next lower whole number





would result in such Person receiving zero dollars worth of New Notes, such Person shall receive a New Note in the principal amount of one $1.00 (One Dollar). If two or more Persons are entitled to fractional entitlements and the aggregate amount of New Securities that would otherwise be issued to such Persons with respect to such fractional entitlements as a result of such rounding exceeds the number of whole New Securities which remain to be allocated, the Disbursing Agent shall allocate the remaining whole New Securities to such holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the Disbursing Agent deems fair. Upon the allocation of all of the whole New Securities authorized under the Plan, all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect. The Disbursing Agent shall have the right to carry forward to subsequent distributions any applicable credits or debits arising from the rounding described in this paragraph.
7.5    Application of Distribution Record Date
On the applicable Distribution Record Date, (a) for all Claims other than Noteholder Claims, the Debtor’s books and records for Unfiled Claims and the claims register maintained by the Claims Agent for Filed Claims, (b) for Noteholder Claims, the transfer ledgers for the Old Notes and (c) for Interests, the records of the Debtor in the case of the Preferred Stock Interests/Claims and the records of the stock transfer agent in the case of the Common Stock Interests/Claims, shall be closed for purposes of determining the record holders of Claims or Interests, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of any Claims or Interests. Except as provided herein, the Reorganized Debtor, the Disbursing Agent(s), the Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective agents, successors, and assigns shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of Claims or Interests occurring after the Distribution Record Date and shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders stated on the applicable books and records, claims registers or transfer ledgers as of 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern time on the Distribution Record Date irrespective of the number of distributions to be made under the Plan to such Persons or the date of such distributions.
7.6    Surrender of Cancelled Old Securities
As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Claim, each record Noteholder shall be deemed to have surrendered the Old Notes or other documentation underlying each Noteholder Claim, and all such surrendered Old Notes and other documentation shall be deemed to be cancelled pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan, except to the extent otherwise provided herein. As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution on account of its Allowed Interest, each holder of an Allowed Common Stock Interest/Claim and an Allowed Preferred Stock Interest/Claim shall be deemed to have surrendered any stock certificate or other documentation underlying each such Interest/Claim, and any such stock certificates and other documentation shall be deemed to be cancelled pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Plan.
7.7    Withholding and Reporting Requirements
In connection with the Plan and all distributions hereunder, the applicable Disbursing Agent shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agent(s) shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements including, without limitation, requiring that, as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, the holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest complete the appropriate IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9, as applicable to each holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (a) each holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest that is to receive a distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed on such holder by any governmental unit, including income and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution, and (b) no distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Disbursing Agent to allow it to comply with its tax withholding and reporting requirements. Any property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution to be held by the Indenture Trustee or the Disbursing Agent, as the case may be, until such time as the Disbursing Agent is satisfied with the holder’s arrangements for any withholding tax obligations.
7.8    Setoffs
The Reorganized Debtor may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any such claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against such holder.





7.9    Prepayment
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, any ancillary documents entered into in connection herewith, or the Confirmation Order, the Reorganized Debtor shall have the right to prepay, without penalty, all or any portion of an Allowed Claim at any time; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall not be violative of, or otherwise prejudice, the relative priorities and parities among the Classes of Claims.
7.10    Allocation of Distributions
All distributions received under the Plan by holders of applicable Claims shall be deemed to be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim as determined for United States federal income tax purposes and then to accrued interest, if any, with respect to such Claim.

The grant of collateral does not include (i) Equipment in which the DOE has or, pursuant to any existing or future contract or agreement, may acquire any ownership interest and any security interest created by this Agreement shall be automatically released without further action of the parties upon acquisition by DOE of any ownership interest in, or acquisition of the right to acquire any ownership interest in, any Equipment including (x) the Receivables arising from the sale by Borrower of such Equipment and all contracts and agreements for the sale of such Equipment, (y) the books and records related to such Equipment and (z) all proceeds of such Equipment, or (ii) license, contract or agreement to which Borrower is a party or any of its or interests thereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of such license, contract or agreement or otherwise, result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under any license, contract or agreement to which Borrower is a party (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity) including any contract with the United States Federal Government or any instrumentality or agency thereof or (iii) Equity Interests in any ACP Company; provided that immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such provision, the Collateral shall include, and Borrower shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all such rights and interests as if such provision had never been in effect; and provided further that any Account or money or other amounts due or to become due to Borrower under any such license, contract or agreement or any proceeds resulting from the sale or other disposition by Borrower of any rights of Borrower under any such license, contract or agreement shall at no time be excluded from the Collateral or the security interest granted by Borrower hereunder in favor of the Lender.
Fees
None

Events of Default
If any amount under the Note is not paid when due, the entire principal balance thereof, all accrued interest thereon and any other amounts payable thereunder shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Lender.
Upon default, the Lender shall be entitled to exercise in respect of the collateral all of its rights, powers and remedies provided for in the Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement or otherwise available to it by law, in equity or otherwise, including all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

The liens and security interests are junior and subordinate to liens and security interests created by (i) any Senior Security Agreement, as may be more particularly set forth in any Intercompany Subordination Agreement, (ii) any security agreement with respect to any equity commitment of the Borrower with respect to an ACP Financing, and (iii) any security agreement for the benefit of the DOE, export credit agencies or any other lenders or insurers providing financing or government support of the American Centrifuge Plant.

NEW COMMON STOCK, NEW USEC CHARTER AND NEW USEC BY-LAWS
The following summary contains basic information about the New Common Stock to be issued by the Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the New USEC Charter as well as certain provisions of the New USEC Governing Documents (the New USEC Charter and New USEC By-laws). This summary does not restate those documents in their entirety. A copy of the New USEC Charter and New USEC By-laws are included in the Plan Supplement. The Debtor urges you to read the New USEC Governing Documents because they, and not this summary, define the rights of a holder of the New Common Stock, including Class A and Class B shares. Certain defined terms used but not defined in the summary have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan or in the New USEC Governing Documents.

Voting Rights
Class A
Holders of Class A shares will be entitled to one vote for each Class A share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Reorganized Debtor, provided , however , that unless otherwise required by law, Class A shares will not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the New USEC Charter that relates solely to one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock or Class B shares if the holders of such affected class are entitled to vote upon such amendment, either separately or together with another class or series of stock.
Class B
The holders of Class B shares will generally not be entitled to vote such shares, other than the following voting rights:
Voting as a separate class, holders of Class B shares are permitted to elect two directors that have been approved by the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee.
Such director election rights shall expire upon a change of control of the Reorganized Debtor.
Such director election rights shall be reduced to the right to elect one director approved by the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee at such time as the number of Class B shares owned by the permitted holders is less than 75% of the number of Class B shares issued pursuant to the Plan.
At such time as the number of Class B shares owned by the permitted holders is less than 50% of the number of Class B shares issued pursuant to the Plan, the right to elect such director shall cease.
Voting together with the Class A shares, as a single class, with respect to any merger or sale of substantially all of the Reorganized Debtor’s assets that must be submitted to the stockholders pursuant to Delaware law.
Such right to vote together with the Class A shares will be limited to the extent that the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Class B shares exceeds 20% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. In the event the aggregate voting power of the Class B shares exceeds 20% of the total voting power, each Class B share will be entitled to a fraction of one vote to provide the Class B shares maximum aggregate voting power equals 20% of the total voting power.

Liquidation, Dissolution of Wind-up
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Reorganized Debtor (whether voluntary or involuntary) and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of Preferred Stock having liquidation preferences, if any, holders of Class A shares and Class B shares will be entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in all assets of the Reorganized Debtor available for distribution to the holders of the Class A shares and the Class B shares.





Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares
Upon the transfer of any Class B share other than to permitted holders, each such Class B share will be automatically, and without any action required of the Reorganized Debtor or the holder, converted into a share of Class A.
Transfer Restrictions
Without the prior approval of the Reorganized Debtor, the holders of Class B shares may not transfer any Class B shares if such transfer would require any approval of or filing with the Department of Energy or the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in order not to adversely affect the permits or regulatory status of the Reorganized Debtor or any of its subsidiaries unless such approvals and/or filings have been made and received. This restriction does not apply to any transfer when the transferee receives Class A shares as permitted by the terms of the New USEC Charter.
Foreign Ownership Restrictions
The New USEC Charter contains certain restrictions with respect to foreign ownership of the capital stock of the Reorganized Debtor.
The New USEC Charter provides the Board of Directors of the Reorganized Debtor with certain enforcement mechanisms in the event that the Reorganized Debtor shall conclude that the ownership of, the acquisition of or interest in, or the exercise of any rights of ownership with respect to, securities of the Reorganized Debtor by any person is inconsistent with, or in violation of, any governmental regulatory restriction or could jeopardize the continued ownership of the Reorganized Debtor’s facilities. These enforcement mechanisms include suspension of voting rights, redemption of shares and/or refusal to recognize the transfer of shares on the books of records of the Reorganized Debtor.
In order to enforce these foreign ownership restrictions, the New USEC Charter provides that the Reorganized Debtor may, under certain circumstances, request information concerning ownership or potential ownership of its common stock from any record or beneficial holder or potential transferee of its capital stock, including in situations involving beneficial ownership by a foreign person or group of foreign persons of (1) 5% or more of any class of its capital stock or of the voting power of all classes of its outstanding capital stock or (2) less than 5% of any class of its capital stock or of the voting power of all classes of its outstanding capital stock if such person has the ability to appoint a director or management person of the Reorganized Debtor.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The New USEC Governing Documents provide for indemnification of the Reorganized Debtor’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the applicable Delaware law. The Reorganized Debtor has also entered into agreements with its directors and officers that will require the Reorganized Debtor, among other things to indemnify them against liability that may arise by reason of their status or service as director or officer to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.
Capital Stock Not Certificated
The New USEC By-laws provide that the Class A and Class B shares, will be uncertificated and will not be represented by certificates except as may be required by law or as may otherwise, in the future, be authorized by the Reorganized Debtor’s Board of Directors.

III.

MATERIAL TERMS OF THE
NEW NOTES, NEW INDENTURE, LIMITED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AND SUBSIDIARY SECURITY AGREEMENT
The New Notes and the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be governed by the New Indenture to be entered into by the Reorganized Debtor, Enrichment Corp and CSC Trust Company of Delaware, as trustee. The terms of the New Notes will include those stated in the New Indenture and those made part of the New Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Subsidiary Security Agreement, together with the intercreditor agreement, if any, referred to below under the caption “Security,” define the terms of the pledge of collateral that will secure the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty.
The following summary contains basic information about the New Notes and the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty, including information contained in the New Indenture, the Subsidiary Security Agreement, and, if any, the intercreditor agreement. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. A copy of the form of New Indenture, which includes within its terms the Limited Subsidiary Guarantee, and the form of Subsidiary Security Agreement and form of intercreditor agreement which are attached thereto, is included in the Plan Supplement. The Debtor urges you to read the New Indenture, the Subsidiary Security Agreement and the intercreditor agreement because they, and not this summary, define the rights of a holder of the New Notes. Certain defined terms used in the summary but not defined below have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan, the New Indenture, the Subsidiary Security Agreement or the intercreditor agreement, as applicable.
Securities
PIK Toggle Notes due 2019/2024
Issuer
Reorganized Debtor
Initial Principal Amount
$240,380,000; provided   that,  the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes may be increased after the Issue Date as a result of any payment of interest on the New Notes in the form of PIK interest.
Maturity
The New Notes will mature 5 years from the date of issuance; provided   that , the Reorganized Debtor has the right to extend the maturity date to 10 years from the Issue Date upon the initial draw or other initial funding, in each case, of a material amount, under binding agreements providing for (i) the funding of the construction of the American Centrifuge Project in an aggregate amount of not less than $1.5 billion supported by the U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantee program or other such government support or government funding, or (ii) the implementation and deployment of a National Security Train Program utilizing American Centrifuge technology with an expected total program cost to be funded by the government of not less than $750 million.
Interest
The New Notes will pay interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, or if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears based on a 360 day year.
The Reorganized Debtor has elected to pay in kind 1.5% of interest for the time period between the Issue Date and September 30, 2014, and may elect to pay (a) up to 3.0% of interest for the time period between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015, and (b) up to 5.5% of interest from October 1, 2015 through maturity.
Limited Subsidiary Guarantee
The New Notes will be guaranteed by Enrichment Corp on a limited, subordinated and conditional basis, as described in the New Indenture. Under certain circumstances, Enrichment Corp may be released from its guarantee without the consent of the holders of the New Notes, including (other than with respect to the Unconditional Interest Guarantee) upon the occurrence of any Termination Event.
Ranking
The New Notes will be subordinated in right of payment to the Issuer Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the Issue Date or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed). The New Notes will rank pari passu  in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtor (other than the Issuer Senior Debt) and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Reorganized Debtor; and only indebtedness that is Issuer Senior Debt shall rank senior to the Indebtedness evidenced by the New Notes.
The Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be subordinated in right of payment to the Designated Senior Claims (whether outstanding on the Issue Date or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed). The Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will rank pari passu  in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of Enrichment Corp (other than the Designated Senior Claims) and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Enrichment Corp; and only indebtedness of Enrichment Corp that is Designated Senior Claims shall rank senior to the obligations of Enrichment Corp under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty.





Security
The New Notes will not be secured by a lien on any assets of the Reorganized Debtor.
Enrichment Corp’s obligations under the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty will be secured by a lien on Enrichment Corp’s assets constituting collateral, including, among other things, its inventory and its accounts receivable, subject to certain exceptions. The security interest securing the Limited Subsidiary Guaranty is expected to be junior in priority to any and all security interest and liens at any time securing the Designated Senior Claims. It is expected that, in connection with the incurrence of any Designated Senior Claims, that the New Notes trustee and collateral agent may enter into an intercreditor agreement with the representatives of the Designated Senior Claims that will define the relative rights in the collateral of the holders of New Notes and of the Designated Senior Claims.
Optional Redemption
The New Notes will be redeemable by the Reorganized Debtor in whole or in part, at any time, at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount (including as a result of the payment of PIK interest) of the New Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Events of Default
Customary for securities such as the New Notes.
Trustee and Collateral Agent
CSC Trust Company of Delaware

The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan is intended to replace the Debtor’s current 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “ Prior Plan ”) which will terminate and all equity awards outstanding under the Prior Plan will also be terminated as of the Effective Date. The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan contains substantially similar terms as the Prior Plan.
The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee of the New Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”), which shall have broad powers to select participants in the plan, the types of awards that may be granted and the form and terms of awards.
1,000,000 Shares will be available for grant under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. Shares subject to awards will be recycled back into the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and available for re-grant if the award is forfeited, becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full. Restricted Stock that is forfeited will only become available for regrant under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan if no dividends have been paid on such Shares. Additionally, Shares that are tendered by the grantee in payment of the exercise price of any award or in satisfaction of any tax withholdings will be available for future grant under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.
The maximum number of Shares that may be granted to any one individual within any fiscal year of the Reorganized Debtor is 600,000 Shares. The maximum cash award that may be granted in any one fiscal year to a covered employee is $2,000,000.
Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, dividend equivalents will not be paid on any performance vested award, unless and until the award vests and any dividends paid on restricted stock will be held by the Company and will not be paid until the restricted stock vests. Options and stock appreciation rights may not be granted with an exercise or strike price of less than fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant and the Compensation Committee is prohibited from repricing options and stock appreciation rights.
Generally awards may not vest faster than proportionally over a minimum three year period. However, grants to non-employee directors, performance vesting awards and awards on up to 120,000 Shares may be granted without regard to the minimum vesting period.
The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan may be amended and terminated by the New Board at any time. However, shareholder approval of any amendment that (i) increases the benefits to participants, (ii) increases the number of Shares available for issuance, (iii) modifies the requirements for participation in the Plan or (iv) otherwise requires approval under applicable law, regulation or rule, including any stock exchange on which the Shares are traded.





2014 Post-Effective Date Incentives
Pursuant to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan described above, on the Effective Date three types of awards will be granted:
Annual Award - The Annual Award will be paid in cash only if a commitment is secured by 12/31/14 which will continue the American Centrifuge Program for at least one year beyond 9/2014 on a basis that will maintain a domestic enrichment capability using the American Centrifuge technology while preserving the optionality for future commercialization, provided that USEC Inc. retains a material ownership interest or material contractual role, directly or through its affiliates, in such program during the period.

Long-Term Incentive Cash Award (“ LTI ”) - The LTI will be paid in cash and will be based on a performance target established by the Compensation Committee within 60 days after the Effective Date and will be based on performance over a period set by the Compensation Committee, but will not be sooner than January 31, 2014 or later than 36 months after the Effective Date. The Compensation Committee may establish threshold, target and maximum goals. If maximum goals are attained then the employee is eligible for up to 125% of their targeted award.

Options - Options to purchase Shares will be granted within 60 days after the Effective Date with such terms as may be set by the Compensation Committee consistent with the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.

The Annual Award and LTI will normally only be paid if the employee remains employed through the date the award is paid. If, however, the employee dies or becomes disabled during the performance period, then the employee will receive a pro rata portion of the employee’s target award, without regard to actual performance. If the employee is terminated without “cause,” they will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the award they would have earned based on actual performance achieved at the end of the performance period. However, if the employee’s termination is without “cause” or for “good reason” within 3 months prior to or one year following a “change in control,” the employee will receive payment of the Annual Award at target level without pro ration or regard to actual performance and will receive the LTI based on performance attained through the date of termination. The targeted awards for the 2014 grants are as follows:
Target Award levels for the Annual Award and Long-Term Incentive Cash Award and Number of Option Awards for 2014

The above percentages will be adjusted based on attainment of second quarter goals under the 2014 Quarterly Incentive Plan of the Debtor (the “ QIP ”) by the Effective Date. If second quarter goals under the QIP have not been earned and paid upon by the Effective Date then the Target Annual Award and Target LTI Awards will be decreased by 75% of the percentages set forth above. If the second quarter goals have been earned and paid by the Effective Date the Target Annual Award and Target LTI Award will be decreased by 50% of the percentages set forth above.
On the Effective Date the QIP will terminate and no further amounts will be paid under that plan.






Executive Severance Plan
The Debtor’s Executive Severance Plan (the “ Severance Plan ”) will be amended effective on the Effective Date to allow covered executives to terminate for “good reason” and treat such termination as a termination without “cause,” entitling the executive to severance under the terms of the plan. “Good reason” generally includes (a) change in position, (b) diminution of authority, duties or responsibilities, (c) breach of any employment agreement, (d) reduction in base salary or annual bonus opportunity (on an aggregate basis), (e) failure of a successor to assume the obligations under the Severance Plan or (f) relocation of executives principal place of business by more than 50 miles. The events listed in the definition of good reason above must occur during the one year period commencing with the Effective Date. A description of severance available under the Severance Plan is set forth in the Form 8-K filed on January 16, 2013.
SERP Termination
On the Effective Date no further benefits will accrue under the Debtor’s 1999 and 2006 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans.

APPENDIX C






APPENDIX D
USEC Inc. Hypothetical Liquidation Analysis
Introduction
Under the “best interests” of creditors test set forth in Bankruptcy Code Section 1129(a)(7), the Bankruptcy Court may not confirm a plan of reorganization unless the plan provides, with respect to each Impaired Class, that each holder of a Claim or Interest in such Class who does not otherwise vote in favor of the plan receive property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the debtor was liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code as of such date. To demonstrate that the Plan satisfies the “best interests” of creditors test, the Debtor has prepared the hypothetical liquidation analysis attached as Exhibit 1 (the “ Liquidation Analysis ”), which is based upon certain assumptions discussed below and in the notes accompanying the Liquidation Analysis (the “ Notes ”). To illustrate that the Plan satisfies the “best interests” of creditors test, the Debtor has also prepared a comparison of recoveries under both the Plan and the Liquidation Analysis, attached as Exhibit 2. Capitalized terms not defined in the Notes shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan and the Disclosure Statement.
The Liquidation Analysis estimates potential Cash distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtor’s assets (the “ Assets ”). Asset values discussed in the Liquidation Analysis may differ materially from values referred to in the Plan and Disclosure Statement. The Debtor prepared the Liquidation Analysis with the assistance of its advisors.
Scope, Intent, and Purpose of the Liquidation Analysis
The determination of the costs of, and hypothetical proceeds from, the liquidation of the Assets is an uncertain process involving the extensive use of estimates and assumptions that, although considered reasonable by the Debtor, are inherently subject to significant business, political, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtor, its management, and its advisors. Inevitably, some assumptions in the Liquidation Analysis would not materialize in an actual chapter 7 liquidation, and unanticipated events and circumstances could affect the ultimate results in an actual chapter 7 liquidation. In addition, the Debtor’s management cannot judge with any degree of certainty the effect of the forced-liquidation asset sales on the recoverable value of the Assets. The Liquidation Analysis was prepared for the sole purpose of generating a reasonable good‑faith estimate of the proceeds that would be generated if the Debtor were liquidated in accordance with Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidation Analysis is not intended and should not be used for any other purpose. The underlying financial information in the Liquidation Analysis was not compiled or examined by any independent accountants. No independent appraisals were conducted in preparing the Liquidation Analysis. NEITHER THE DEBTOR NOR ITS ADVISORS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE ACTUAL RESULTS WOULD OR WOULD NOT APPROXIMATE THE ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS REPRESENTED IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD VARY MATERIALLY.
In preparing the Liquidation Analysis, the Debtor estimated Allowed Claims based upon a review of the Claims contained in the Debtor’s books and records. In addition, the Liquidation Analysis includes estimates for Claims not currently reflected in the books and records or asserted in the Chapter 11 Case, but which could be asserted and Allowed in a chapter 7 liquidation, including Administrative Claims, wind‑down costs, trustee fees, tax liabilities, and certain lease and contract rejection damages Claims. The Bankruptcy Court has not estimated or otherwise fixed the total amount of Allowed Claims used for purposes of preparing this Liquidation Analysis. The Debtor’s estimate of Allowed Claims set forth in the Liquidation Analysis should not be relied on for any other purpose, including determining the value of any distribution to be made on account of Allowed Claims under the Plan. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS IS INTENDED TO BE OR CONSTITUTES A CONCESSION OR ADMISSION OF THE DEBTOR. THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF ALLOWED CLAIMS IN THE CHAPTER 11 CASES COULD MATERIALLY DIFFER FROM THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS.
Global Notes to the Liquidation Analysis
Liquidation Date and Appointment of a Chapter 7 Trustee





This Liquidation Analysis assumes the filing of a chapter 7 liquidation case on May 31, 2014 (the “ Liquidation Date ”). On the Liquidation Date, it is assumed that the Bankruptcy Court would appoint a chapter 7 trustee (the “ Trustee ”) to oversee the liquidation of the Debtor’s Estate. The Debtor has only two sources of cash inflows: (i) reimbursement from the Department of Energy (“ DOE ”) for 80% of costs related to the research, development and demonstration (“ RD&D ”) program and (ii) loans or advances from its wholly owned subsidiary, United States Enrichment Corporation (“ Enrichment Corp ”). As the Debtor has no on-going operations that generate revenues or cash flows, the Trustee will need to use cash on hand, receivables due from the DOE, and proceeds from the immediate liquidation of Assets to fund the on-going expenses of the estate. For purposes of this hypothetical Liquidation Analysis, the primary operating assumption is that Enrichment Corp would cease funding any activities of the Debtor, but would agree to allow its collateral to be used as discussed below, and there would be no external funding available to facilitate the liquidation. This Liquidation Analysis assumes the Trustee will have adequate liquidity to fund the wind down of the operations and the fees associated with such a liquidation. In the event of an actual liquidation of the Debtor, there may be a risk that the Trustee may not have adequate liquidity on hand to settle administrative expenses as incurred, at which point the Trustee may request a dismissal of the chapter 7 case. If such a scenario would occur, the recoveries to creditors would be severely impaired as compared to the hypothetical results contained in this analysis.
Given the special and classified nature of the Assets, the general underlying assumption is that the Trustee would need a 6 to 9 month period to monetize the Assets, using the proceeds to fund the expenses associated with the wind down of operations. This analysis assumes complete wind up of affairs and distributions, if any, would take an additional 3 months after the sale of all Assets.
Primary Assets of the Debtor
The Debtor has three primary Assets in the form of (i) cash on hand, (ii) receivables due from the DOE, and (iii) property, plant and equipment used in the RD&D program for the DOE (“ PPE ”) in connection with the Debtor’s American Centrifuge Project (“ ACP ”). The Liquidation Analysis assumes a range of recoveries for these Assets assuming a forced-liquidation asset sale process conducted by the Trustee. The Debtor’s management believes that values derived from the liquidation assumed in the Liquidation Analysis do not generate a significant recovery for stakeholders as compared with the recovery proposed under the Plan.
The Debtor’s ACP has been in development since May 2007 and is planned to be the United States’ only domestically owned and operated uranium enrichment plant with centrifuge technology. The Debtor has developed and operated a “lead cascade program” to advance ACP technology in conjunction with the DOE. The Debtor’s RD&D program contains operations and equipment in Piketon, OH and Oak Ridge, TN. The process and equipment developed and deployed as part of the RD&D program is extremely complex and intricate and not only contains classified information, but also is regulated by both the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“ NRC ”) and the DOE. As a result, the demobilization of ACP would require several months and cooperation with various regulatory agencies in order to comply with all laws, regulations and contractual requirements. However, in the event of a chapter 7 liquidation, the Debtor has assumed the Trustee would pursue a rapid demobilization process to meet only the necessary requirements of law and to minimize costs and time necessary to demobilize. As a result, the Debtor has developed such a “rapid” demobilization process that includes turnover of the lead cascade program and other vital RD&D elements to the DOE and immediate termination of all contracts with suppliers and contractors to cease operations and leave such suppliers and contractors to perform their own environmental and security obligations. Given the complex nature of these operations, the Debtor has assumed that the various regulatory agencies involved with ACP will cooperate to facilitate a shutdown and immediate turnover of operations. As there is no historical precedent for such a liquidation, as well as coordination between various federal agencies, this hypothetical analysis has no benchmarks for which to assess whether or not such cooperation is feasible, nor what issues may arise from such a liquidation. Furthermore, the Debtor’s demobilization plan assumes all decontamination and decommissioning activities necessary to shut down the lead cascade will be conducted by the regulatory agencies using third-party contractors and funds already available under the Debtor’s decontamination and decommissioning funding plans, which are backed by fully collateralized Surety Bonds, as discussed below. The ability of both the NRC and DOE to retain third-party contractors may affect the timing and cost of turnover activities, further impacting this liquidation analysis. Additionally, as much of the equipment, processes and documentation in possession of the Debtor contains classified and export-controlled information, the Debtor assumes that the shutdown, turnover and destruction of documentation can be achieved within a three-month period of time.
As discussed above, the Assets include receivables due from the DOE for reimbursements under the RD&D program. This analysis assumes collection of the amounts due from the DOE in the ordinary course, and that the DOE does not assert any set-off rights for any claims associated with the demobilization and liquidation of ACP. Furthermore, these receivable amounts have been pledged as security for pre-filing loans made by Enrichment Corp to the Debtor for operating expenses as well as the post-petition DIP Facility and thus are cash collateral of Enrichment Corp. This Liquidation Analysis assumes Enrichment Corp would allow, and the Trustee would use, the proceeds of its prepetition and postpetition collateral, in order to fund the wind-down expenses, as it is assumed that doing so would facilitate cooperation with the DOE in other matters relevant to Enrichment Corp.





These receivables and other proceeds would be used in order to first fund the liquidation of the Estate, then satisfy claims with remaining proceeds as established by the Bankruptcy Code (beginning with the DIP Facility.) Although Enrichment Corp is the DIP Facility lender for the Chapter 11 Case, this analysis assumes no incremental funding from Enrichment Corp for the wind down, other than allowing the Trustee to use the DOE receivables and proceeds of its other collateral. As of the petition date, Enrichment has not agreed that it would give consent to use this collateral. Given the highly speculative nature of this assumption, results for this Liquidation Analysis could vary dramatically if the Trustee did not have access to, or use of, these receivables.
The Assets also include 100% of the equity of the Debtor’s subsidiary, Enrichment Corp. For the purposes of this Liquidation Analysis, the Debtor assumes no equity value in its investment in Enrichment Corp. As discussed above, the primary operating assumption is that Enrichment Corp would not continue to fund the operations and expenses of the Debtor in a chapter 7 liquidation, except to allow the use of its collateral. Nevertheless, Enrichment Corp’s business model may be impacted as a result of the liquidation, and thus attempting to ascribe any equity value in the investment of Enrichment Corp would be highly speculative at this time.
Forced-Liquidation Sale Process
The liquidation sale process would proceed concurrently with the rapid demobilization process for ACP. The Debtor is in possession of equipment which it owns directly, and equipment where ownership has been transferred to the DOE pursuant to the contractual agreement related to the RD&D program. In addition to cash on hand, and the receivable amounts due from the DOE noted above, the Debtor would need to monetize immediately equipment that it has proper title to in order to fund the rapid demobilization process. As a result of immediate termination of supplier contracts, much of the equipment the Debtor has title to is in the possession of its suppliers and vendors who are performing services for the Debtor. A significant portion of the gross proceeds distributable to creditors would come from the liquidation of this equipment, which is subject to various offsetting costs including, but not limited to, professional industrial liquidators commissions and possessory liens. The possessory liens are assessed on a location by location basis, and if the expected lien of any vendor exceeds the expected value of the Assets subject to the lien, the Assets are assumed to be abandoned with no recoverable value to the Debtor. This Liquidation Analysis also assumes that certain staff currently employed at the Debtor will remain with the Debtor through the course of the wind-down. Costs associated with these employees have been included in the operational wind down expense in order to assist the Trustee in collecting and liquidating the Assets.
This Liquidation Analysis assumes that the estimated sale proceeds for the Assets would be less than the tax basis of the Assets and would not generate any additional tax liabilities. Should the tax treatment and effect of the liquidation transactions result in a tax liability that is not reduced by other tax benefits, recoveries in the Liquidation Analysis could change materially.
Specific Notes to the Asset Assumptions Contained in the Liquidation Analysis (Exhibit A)
The Liquidation Analysis refers to certain categories of Assets. The numerical/alphabetical designation below corresponds to the line items listed in Exhibit A with a specific note.
Estimated Proceeds
The liquidation of the Assets in a chapter 7 bankruptcy will require the Trustee to dispose of the Assets in an expedited manner. The Debtor’s management and its advisors relied on the net book values ( Note A ) from the unaudited balance sheet as of January 31, 2014 to estimate the recoveries for various Assets. For the purposes of this Liquidation Analysis, the Debtors management believes the values of such assets on the Liquidation Date will not be materially different from this date. The gross proceeds of the Liquidation Analysis (“ Liquidation Proceeds ”) consist of three major asset classes: Cash, DOE Receivables and PP&E. The value for the Debtor’s cash ( Note B ) is based on the projected balance as of Liquidation Date. This Liquidation Analysis assumes DOE Receivables ( Note C ) are collected in the ordinary course and represent amounts expected to be received from the DOE related to 80% reimbursement of RD&D expenses for April and May 2014. The Debtor also holds fully cash collateralized Surety Bonds ( Note D ) related to the decontamination and decommission of the Piketon, OH plant that are expected to be fully utilized by third parties contracted by the NRC and DOE to complete the necessary decontamination and decommissioning work. PPE ( Note E ) includes all Debtor- owned land and equipment related to the ACP project located primarily in Oak Ridge, TN and Piketon, OH. The recovery values shown are net of various possessory liens and commissions charged by professional industrial liquidators. Other Assets ( Note F ) consists primarily of prepaid Assets for which the Debtor does not expect to recover any value. No other assets exist with any estimable recovery value.





Specific Notes to the Liability Assumptions Contained in the Liquidation Analysis
This Liquidation Analysis sets forth an allocation of the Liquidation Proceeds to Holders of Claims and Interests in accordance with the priorities set forth in Bankruptcy Code Section 726. The Liquidation Analysis provides for high and low recovery percentages for Claims and Interests based upon the Trustee’s application of the Liquidation Proceeds. The high and low recovery ranges reflect a high and low range of estimated Liquidation Proceeds from the Trustee’s sale of the Assets.
Administrative Expenses of Chapter 7
This Liquidation Analysis includes costs associated with the wind down of the Debtor’s business as well as running a chapter 7 liquidation process. The Operational Wind-Down Expenses ( Note G ) include the Headquarters wind down and the ACP rapid demobilization costs. The Headquarters wind down costs consists of approximately 20 employees required for 6 months from June 1 through November 30, 2014 and approximately 12 employees from December 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015. The ACP rapid demobilization costs include only the activities necessary to comply with law and cease active operation of the Piketon, OH site as well as to rapidly dispose of classified material at various locations. The demobilization costs assume (i) the Debtor’s contractual obligations are terminated and not performed, (ii) the lead cascades (Piketon, OH) and K-1600 site (Oak Ridge, TN) are shut down and turned over to the DOE, (iii) suppliers and contractors are notified to stop work immediately, (iv) the DOE is notified of intent to destroy or turnover all classified documents and material within one week, and (v) decommissioning and decontamination are executed by the NRC and DOE through drawing on the associated Surety Bonds and using a third-party contractor to perform the work.
Also included in Administrative Expenses are the anticipated Professional Fees and other expenses necessary to facilitate a chapter 7 liquidation ( Note H ), Professional Fees and expenses from the Chapter 11 that have the benefit of the Carve-Out under the DIP Order (Note I) and the Trustee’s fees ( Note J ) which are calculated based on 3% of the recovery value of the liquidated PPE Assets.
DIP Facility Claims ( Note K )
The DIP Facility provided by Enrichment Corp is secured by a first-priority lien on the Debtor’s postpetition DOE receivables and any unencumbered assets and a second lien on all assets subject to an existing lien. This lien was perfected through the DIP Order. In addition, Enrichment Corp enjoys a superpriority administrative claim which entitles it to be paid from any other assets determined to be unencumbered. For purposes of this Liquidation Analysis, the outstanding amount drawn under the DIP Facility as of the commencement of the chapter 7 conversion is projected to be $28.3 million. As discussed previously, this analysis assumes that Enrichment Corp (notwithstanding its DIP liens and prepetition liens) will allow the Trustee to use the postpetition DOE receivables and the proceeds of its other collateral to fund the chapter 7 administrative costs as opposed to exercising its rights as a secured creditor with respect to its collateral. Proceeds from the chapter 7 case remaining after the chapter 7 administrative costs are satisfied will be distributed to the DIP Facility as a pro-rata share of the net distributable value that would come from its collateral of cash and postpetition DOE receivables.
Secured Claims ( Note L )
The Debtor’s Secured Claims include the balance of the Secured Intercompany Loan with Enrichment Corp, dated August 2, 2013, through which Enrichment Corp has funded the Debtor’s operations with the DOE Receivables, cash and fixed assets acting as collateral. The balance of the Secured Intercompany Loan is projected to be approximately $56.1 million as of the Liquidation Date. The Secured Intercompany Loan is secured by a first-priority lien on the prepetition DOE Receivables and the fixed assets of the Debtor. The DIP Lender authorized the application of the prepetition DOE receivables to be applied to the Secured Intercompany Loan. To the extent the value of remaining collateral securing the loan is insufficient to satisfy the loan obligation, there would be an unsecured deficiency claim for the balance, which would be an Intercompany Claim. Proceeds from the chapter 7 case remaining after the chapter 7 administrative costs are satisfied will be distributed on account of the Secured Intercompany Loan as a pro-rata share of the net distributable value that would come from its collateral of the fixed assets.
Administrative Claims of Chapter 11 Case, Priority Tax Claims & Other Priority Claims ( Notes M-O )
Administrative Claims of the Chapter 11 Case include outstanding post-petition accounts payable, accrued and outstanding employee wages, employee severance earned during the postpetition period, and accrued and unpaid chapter 11 professional fees. For the purposes of this analysis, Administrative Claims of the Chapter 11 Case do not include claims related to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”) as it is assumed that either timely and proper notice has been





issued, or the Debtor would meet the qualifications for an exception. Priority Tax Claims include all claims of a governmental unit of the kind specified in Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(8) and are estimated to be at a range of $0-$1 million. Other Priority Claims include employee severance claims up to the amount allowed under Bankruptcy Code Section 507(a)(4) for an estimated $12,475 per employee for approximately 519 employees, with other employee claims assumed to have been paid by a first day order. The claim amounts over and above the cap provided under Section 507(a)(4) are to be treated as General Unsecured Claims.
All Other Unsecured Classes
General Unsecured Claims ( Note P ) consists of: (1) various pension and benefit obligation, (2) the estimated claims related to the pension termination liability of the qualified pension plan, (3) accounts payable as of the Petition Date, (4) lease rejection damage claims for the Headquarter leases in Bethesda and Washington, D.C., (5) contract rejection damages and other termination damage claims associated with the equipment at ACP, and (6) the employee severance claim amounts that do not qualify for administrative or priority status.
Intercompany Claims ( Note Q ) represents (i) undersecured amounts owed to Enrichment Corp on the Secured Intercompany Loan and (ii) unsecured borrowings from Enrichment Corp .
Noteholder Claims ( Note R ) includes amounts owed on the Convertible Notes issued September 28, 2007 plus interest accrued through the Petition Date.
Equity Interests includes Plan classes 6 through 8 representing Preferred Stock Interests, Common Stock Interests and Unexercised Common Stock Rights.
Unasserted Claims
Given the specialized nature of the Debtor and complexities inherent in such a liquidation, this Liquidation Analysis is limited in the fact that no historical precedent exists for such a liquidation. As such, this analysis does not include claims that have been deemed unquantifiable or that have not been asserted against the Debtor, including: (1) claims potentially asserted for decontamination and decommissioning that are not covered by the Surety Bonds, (2) claims asserted by the DOE for any costs related to the turnover of the ACP/Piketon lease, or (3) any other unforeseen regulatory claims given the complex nature of such a liquidation. While the liquidation illustrates a range of potential recoveries, no attempt was made to incorporate any estimates for unasserted claims as described given the uncertain nature of such claims.

All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:
(1)      the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Sections 2.06(b) and (c) hereof.
(b)      Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.

(B)      instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or
(b)      both:
(A)      a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and





(B)      instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in subparagraph (1) above.
(c)      Additional Legends. The following legends will appear on the face of all Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE ISSUER AT USEC INC., TWO DEMOCRACY CENTER, 6903 ROCKLEDGE DRIVE, BETHESDA, MARYLAND 20817, ATTENTION: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, THE ISSUER WILL PROMPTLY MAKE AVAILABLE TO ANY HOLDER OF THIS NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: (1) THE ISSUE PRICE AND ISSUE DATE OF THE NOTE, (2) THE AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT ON THE NOTE AND (3) COMPARABLE YIELD AND PROJECTED PAYMENT SCHEDULE OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE YIELD TO MATURITY OF THE NOTE.”

IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN, ON THE ONE HAND, THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND, ON THE OTHER HAND, THIS NOTE, THE INDENTURE OR ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO, THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL. EACH HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.”
(d)      Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.
(e)      Other. The following provisions shall also apply to transfers and exchanges of the Notes:
(1)      To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”) in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.
(2)      No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 9.05 hereof).
(3)      The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
(4)      All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(5)      Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer will be required:





(A)      to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;
(B)      to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

(6)      Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(7)      The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.
(8)      All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.
Section 2.07      Replacement Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements for replacements of Notes are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer or the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is an obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08      Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, the replaced Note ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
Subject to Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; provided, however, Notes held by the Trustee shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07 hereof.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, in its capacity as Paying Agent, on a redemption date or Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.
Section 2.09      Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be considered as not outstanding.





Section 2.10      Temporary Notes.
Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer (and the Note Guarantor) may execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer (and the Note Guarantor) shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. The Definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed or engraved, or provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the rules and regulations of any principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, all as determined by the Officers executing such Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer (and the Note Guarantor) shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.
Section 2.11      Cancellation.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee). Certification of the disposal or cancellation of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer upon its written request therefor. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in its customary manner.
Section 2.12      Defaulted Interest.
If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at the earliest practicable date but in all events at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date. At least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, the Issuer (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to the Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
Section 2.13      Deposit of Moneys.
Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each date on which the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes are due, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent in immediately available funds, money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such date in a timely manner that permits the Trustee or the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such date.
Section 2.14      CUSIP Numbers.
The Issuer may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that, any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
Section 2.15      Agreement to Subordinate the Notes.
The Issuer agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 2, to the prior payment in full of all





Issuer Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by holders of Issuer Senior Debt. The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall in all respects rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than Issuer Senior Debt) and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer; and only Indebtedness that is Issuer Senior Debt shall rank senior to the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 2 shall be subject to Section 2.25 hereof.
Section 2.16      Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Issuer to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Issuer or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership of or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or in any marshaling of the Issuer’s assets and liabilities:
(1)      holders of Issuer Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Issuer Senior Debt (including interest accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Issuer Senior Debt, whether or not a claim for such interest would be allowed) before the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes; and
(2)      until all Obligations with respect to the Issuer Senior Debt (as provided in clause (1) above) are paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders of Notes would be entitled but for this Article 2 shall be made to holders of Issuer Senior Debt as their interests may appear.
Section 2.17      Default on Issuer Senior Debt.
(a)      The Issuer may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Notes and may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any Notes for cash or property until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Issuer Senior Debt have been paid in full if:
(1)      a payment default on Issuer Senior Debt occurs and is continuing; or
(2)      any other default occurs and is continuing on any Issuer Senior Debt that permits the holders of such Issuer Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity, or otherwise demand its payment, and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Notes Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Issuer or the holders of such Issuer Senior Debt.
(b)      The Issuer may and will resume payments or any distributions in respect of the Notes and may acquire them upon the earlier of:
(1)      in the case of a payment default, the date upon which such default is cured or waived, and
(2)      in the case of a nonpayment default, upon the earlier of the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Notes Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless in the case of this clause (2), the maturity of any Issuer Senior Debt has been accelerated or demand for payment of such Issuer Senior Debt made, and such acceleration or demand for payment has not been waived or cancelled,
if this Article 2 otherwise permits such payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment, distribution or acquisition.
Section 2.18      Demand for Payment.
If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Issuer or the Trustee will promptly notify holders of the Issuer Senior Debt, of the acceleration; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article 2. If any Issuer Senior Debt is outstanding, the Issuer may not make a payment of the Notes until ten (10) Business Days after holders of such Issuer Senior Debt receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may make a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes only if this Indenture and Federal law otherwise permits payment at that time.
Section 2.19      When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.





In the event that the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes receives any payment of, or any distributions with respect to, any Obligations with respect to the Notes at a time when the payment is prohibited by Section 2.17 hereof and the Trustee or the Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited by Section 2.17 hereof, such payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered upon written request to, holders of Issuer Senior Debt as their interests may appear under the agreement, indenture or other document (if any) pursuant to which any Issuer Senior Debt may have been issued or incurred, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Issuer Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Issuer Senior Debt.
Section 2.20      Subrogation.
After all Issuer Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Issuer Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to such Issuer Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of such Issuer Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 2 to the holders of Issuer Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Issuer and Holders, a payment by the Issuer on the Notes.
Section 2.21      Relative Rights.
This Article 2 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Issuer Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture will:
(1)      impair, as between the Issuer and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes in accordance with their terms;
(2)      affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Issuer other than their rights in relation to holders of Issuer Senior Debt; or
(3)      prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Issuer Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes and such other rights of holders of Issuer Senior Debt as set forth herein.
Section 2.22      Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Issuer.
No right of the holders of Issuer Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes may be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Issuer or any Holder or by the failure of the Issuer or any Holder to comply with this Indenture.
Section 2.23      Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 2 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust Office at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 2. Only the Issuer or holders of Issuer Senior Debt may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 2 will impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.
Section 2.24      Article 2 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Demand Payment.
The failure of the Issuer to make a payment on the Notes by reason of any provision in this Article 2 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default by the Issuer. Nothing in this Article 2 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on the Notes pursuant to this Article 2.
Section 2.25      Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes pursuant to Article 8 or Article 12 hereof shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Issuer Senior Debt or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 2,





and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Issuer or holders of Issuer Senior Debt or any other creditor of the Issuer, provided that, the subordination provisions of this Article 2 were not violated at the time the applicable amounts were deposited in trust pursuant to Article 8 or Article 12 hereof, as the case may be.
Section 2.26      Trustee Entitled to Rely.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer referred to in this Article 2, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 2.26 hereof are pending or upon any certificate of such representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Issuer Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 2. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of the holders of Issuer Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 2, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Issuer Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 2 and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 hereof shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 2.
Section 2.27      Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 2, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
Section 2.28      Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Issuer Senior Debt.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Issuer Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holder if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or any other Person, money or assets to which holders of Issuer Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 2 or otherwise, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.
Section 2.29      Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt on Subordinated Provisions.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 2.15 through Section 2.30 hereof are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to holders of Issuer Senior Debt, whether such Issuer Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Issuer Senior Debt and holders of such Issuer Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Issuer Senior Debt.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, holders of Issuer Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 2 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to holders of Issuer Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Issuer Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner any Issuer Senior Debt, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which any Issuer Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing any Issuer Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of any Issuer Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer and any other Person.
Section 2.30      Amendments.
The provisions of Section 2.15 through Section 2.30 hereof may not be amended or modified without the written consent of holders of Issuer Senior Debt.






ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION
Section 3.01      Notices to Trustee.
If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, at least thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) that the redemption shall occur pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) that the redemption price shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the redemption date.
Section 3.02      Selection of Notes to be Redeemed.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed (and such listing is known to the Trustee), or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis or by such other method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and, in each case with respect to any Global Notes, the procedures of the Depositary.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in denominations of [$1.00] 2 and integral multiples of [$1.00] in excess thereof (or if a PIK Payment has been made, in denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof with respect to a PIK Note or the portion of a Global Note constituting PIK Interest). Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.
2 Discuss minimum denomination.
Section 3.03      Notice of Redemption.
At least thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days before a redemption date , the Issuer shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail (and, to the extent permitted by applicable procedures or regulations, electronically) to the Trustee and each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address.
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(1)      the redemption date;
(2)      the redemption price;
(3)      if any Note is being redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon cancellation of the original Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued;
(4)      the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(5)      that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(6)      that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;
(7)      the paragraph of the Notes and/or the section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and
(8)      that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.





At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name of the Issuer and at the Issuer’s expense; provided that the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, at least fifteen (15) days (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date such notice is to be given, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and a copy of the notice to be provided to the Holders. The notice mailed or distributed electronically in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail electronic distribution or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice of redemption may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article 8 hereof or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 12 hereof.
Section 3.04      Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once notice of redemption has been mailed or distributed electronically to the Holders in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. At any time prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, the Issuer may withdraw, revoke or rescind any notice of redemption delivered to the Trustee without any continuing obligation to redeem the Notes as contemplated by such notice of redemption.
Section 3.05      Deposit of Redemption Price.
At or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee (to the extent not already held by the Trustee) or with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.
Interest on the Notes to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on the applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment, if the Issuer makes or deposits the redemption payment in accordance with this Section 3.05. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest should be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.
Section 3.06      Notes Redeemed in Part.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered; provided that, each new Note will be in a principal amount of $[1.00] or an integral multiple of $[1.00] in excess thereof (or if a PIK Payment has been made, in denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof with respect to a PIK Note or the portion of a Global Note constituting PIK Interest). It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Issuer Order, and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate, is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.
Section 3.07      Optional Redemption.
The Notes shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time, at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant interest record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date).
Section 3.08      No Mandatory Redemption.
The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes. The Notes shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

COVENANTS
Section 4.01      Payment of Notes.
The Issuer shall pay the principal and premium, if any, of, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. With respect to the initial interest period, the Issuer has, pursuant hereto, elected to pay 1.5% per annum of interest due for such period in the form of a PIK Payment (the “Initial PIK Election”). After the initial interest period, in the event that the Issuer shall determine to pay any interest in the form of a PIK Payment, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee), with respect to each interest period subsequent to the initial interest period, no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the beginning of the relevant interest period, a notice (the “PIK Notice”) setting forth whether the Issuer has elected to pay any portion of the interest payment for such period in the form of a PIK Payment and, if so, the percentage of interest to be paid in the form of a PIK Payment. The Trustee shall promptly deliver a corresponding notice to the Holders. In the absence of an election for any interest payment date, interest on the Notes shall be payable according to the method of payment set forth in the PIK Notice (excluding for this purpose, the Initial PIK Election) for the previous interest payment date, or notwithstanding the Initial PIK Election, if no prior PIK Notice was delivered to the Trustee for the previous interest payment date, the Issuer shall be deemed to have elected to pay interest due on such interest payment date in the form of a PIK Payment at the maximum percentage permitted hereunder and under the Notes.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due:
(a)      if the Paying Agent, other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary, holds as of 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on such date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due; or
(b)      only to the extent the Issuer has elected to pay any part of the interest then due in the form of a PIK Payment or PIK Notes, if on such date the Trustee has received (i) an Issuer Order, pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, to increase the balance of any Global Note to reflect such PIK Payment or (ii) PIK Notes duly executed by the Issuer together with an Issuer Order, pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, requesting the authentication of such PIK Notes by the Trustee.
Such Paying Agent shall return to the Issuer, no later than three (3) Business Days following the date of payment, any money that exceeds such amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and payable on the Notes.
To the extent lawful, the Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code) on overdue principal in cash at the rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes; the Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful and in the same method of payment as the previous interest period.
In order for the Maturity Date to be the Extended Maturity Date, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a Maturity Date Extension Notice no later than the earlier of (x) ten (10) Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date and (y) five (5) Business Days after the Funding Condition has been satisfied. Upon receiving such Maturity Date Extension Notice, the Trustee shall promptly deliver a corresponding notice to Holders. If the Maturity Date Extension Notice is not delivered within the time periods specified in the preceding sentence (whether or not the Funding Condition has been satisfied), the Maturity Date shall be the Initial Maturity Date.
Section 4.02      Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such





purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.
Section 4.03      Reports.

(4)      any other information, documents and other reports which the Issuer would be required to file with the Commission if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the Commission if the Commission does not permit such filing, in which event the Issuer will make available such information to each prospective purchaser, market maker or securities analyst that provides its email address to the Issuer and certifies that it is a prospective purchaser, market maker (or intends to be a market maker) or securities analyst, as the case may be, of the Notes in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders, in each case within fifteen (15) days after the time the Issuer would be required to file such information with the Commission if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(b)      In addition, the Issuer will make such information available to prospective investors, market makers and securities analysts that request such information by providing their email address to the Issuer and certifying that they are a prospective purchaser, market maker (or intend to be a market maker) or securities analyst, as the case may be. In addition, the Issuer has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the Commission with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, it will furnish to the holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, market makers and securities analysts upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders if the Issuer has filed such reports with the Commission via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available. In addition, the requirements of this Section 4.03 shall be deemed satisfied by the posting of reports that would be required to be provided to the Trustee and the Holders on the Issuer’s public website.
(c)      Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).
Section 4.04      Compliance Certificate.
(a)      The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate (provided that, one of the signatories to such Officers’ Certificate shall be the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Issuer) stating that, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, to the best of





his or her knowledge, the Issuer and the Note Guarantor are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer or the Note Guarantor, as applicable, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).
(b)      So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of (i) any Default or Event of Default or (ii) any event of default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument referred to in Section 6.01(e) hereof, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default, Event of Default or other event of default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.08      Limitation on Liens.
The Note Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset (including, without limitation, all real, tangible or intangible property) of the Note Guarantor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or on any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.

All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04      Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture if such waiver, rescission or cancellation would not conflict with any judgment or decree except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, any Note or an Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
In the event of an Event of Default arising from Section 6.01(e) hereof, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if prior to twenty (20) days after such Event of Default arose, the Issuer delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness that is the basis of such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the Holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis of such Event of Default has been cured.
Section 6.05      Control by Majority.
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06      Limitation on Suits.





Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, a Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents only if:
(a)      the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b)      the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c)      such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d)      the Trustee does not comply with the request within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of security or indemnity; and
(e)      during such sixty (60)-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
Section 6.07      Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture or the Security Documents upon any property subject to such Lien.
Section 6.08      Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09      Trustee may File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor under the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10      Priorities.





Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:
First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively;
Third: without duplication, to Holders for any other Obligations owing to the Holders under the Notes or this Indenture; and
Fourth: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders.
Section 6.11      Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than ten percent (10%) in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.11      Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.
The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b).

If the Issuer elects to provide the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon, and compliance with, such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

Section 8.07      Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, or if any event occurs at any time in the period ending on the ninety-first (91st) day after the date of deposit pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof which event would constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof had Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, not occurred, then the Issuer’s and the Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the cash or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(c)      It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
(d)      After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.
(e)      Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
(1)      reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(2)      reduce the principal of, or the premium (including, without limitation, redemption premium) on, or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the payment on redemption of the Notes; or alter the price at which repurchases of the Notes may be made pursuant to Section 4.09 after a Change of Control has occurred;

If, at the time of an amendment to this Indenture or the Notes, this Indenture shall be qualified under the TIA, every amendment to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.
Section 9.04      Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until a supplemental indenture, an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as





the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. A supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
The Issuer may fix a record date for determining which Holders must consent to such supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver. If the Issuer fixes a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of thirty (30) days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof, or (ii) such other date as the Issuer shall designate.
Section 9.05      Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about a supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.
Section 9.06      Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith and therewith, and that it shall be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its terms. The Issuer may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Issuer approves it.

The foregoing lien subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by holders of Designated Senior Claims. If requested by the holder of any Designated Senior Claim or a representative of such a holder, the Trustee shall executed the Intercreditor Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement defines the relative rights of holders of the Subordinated Liens and the holders of the Senior Priority Liens that will exist upon execution of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the Notes or in any Security Documents, upon execution of the Intercreditor Agreement, any Subordinated Liens securing the Secured Obligations, and the exercise of any right or remedy with respect thereto, will be subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of, on the one hand, the Intercreditor Agreement and, on the other hand, any Note, this Indenture or any Security Document, upon execution of the Intercreditor Agreement the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Note, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and each Holder by its acceptance of any Note hereby directs, and the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall and are hereby authorized, to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder by its acceptance of the Notes agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no action contrary to, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the present and future holders of the Designated Senior Claims and such holders are intended third party beneficiaries of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Note and each Security Document shall bear a conspicuous legend that the Liens securing the Secured Obligations under this Indenture, and rights and remedies related thereto, are subordinated pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in each case in the manner set forth therein.
ARTICLE 11

The Note Guarantor hereby agrees that, subject to this Article 11, (i) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any releases of Collateral, any amendment of this Indenture, the Notes or the





Security Documents, any delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failures to obtain or realize upon Collateral, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any of the Subsidiaries, any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Note Guarantor and (ii) the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete payment and performance of the Obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents or as otherwise provided in Section 11.07 hereof.
The Note Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall not be entitled to and irrevocably waives (to the extent lawful) (i) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claim with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and (ii) any claim or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence or performance of its Obligations under its Guarantee, including, without limitation, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of a Holder against the Issuer or any Collateral that a Holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, and including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer or any of the Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property, by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.

The Note Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on the Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Note Guarantor.

(d)      The Note Guarantor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees), that may be incurred by the Trustee in enforcing or attempting to enforce the Guarantee.
Section 11.05      Guaranty of Payment Not Collection.
The Obligations of the Note Guarantor hereunder shall constitute a guaranty of payment when due and not a guaranty of collection. The Note Guarantor agrees that its Obligations hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the Issuer, and that a separate action may be brought against it, whether such action is brought against the Issuer or whether the Issuer is joined in such action. The Note Guarantor agrees that its liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by the Trustee or the Holders of whatever remedies they may have against the Issuer, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may at any time possess. The Note Guarantor agrees that any release that may be given by the Collateral Agent, Trustee or the Holders to the Issuer shall not release the Note Guarantor.
Section 11.06      No Subrogation.
Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Note Guarantor hereunder, the Note Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Note Guarantor’s Obligations under its Guarantee, nor shall the Note Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer in respect of payments made by the Note Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuer under the Notes and the Issuer’s Obligations thereunder and hereunder are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Note Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when the Notes and the Issuer’s Obligations thereunder and hereunder shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Note Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of the Note Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Note Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by the Note Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Note Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Note Guarantor’s Obligations under its Guarantee.
Section 11.07      Release of the Note Guarantor
The Note Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its Obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes and this Indenture (i) in connection with a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of this Indenture in accordance with Article 8 hereof or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof or (ii) other than with respect to the Unconditional Interest Guarantee, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event.
Section 11.08      Agreement to Subordinate the Guarantee.
The Note Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the obligations of the Note Guarantor under its Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 11, to the prior payment in full of all Designated Senior Claims (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed) and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Designated Senior Claims. The Note Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee shall in all respects rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness (other than Designated Senior Claims) of the Note Guarantor, and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Note Guarantor; and only Indebtedness of the Note Guarantor that is Designated Senior Claims shall rank senior to the obligations of the Note Guarantor under its Guarantee in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 11 shall be subject to Section 11.19 hereof.





Section 11.09      Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Note Guarantor to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Note Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership of or similar proceeding relating to the Note Guarantor or its property in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or in any marshaling of the Note Guarantor’s assets and liabilities:
(a)      the holders of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Designated Senior Claims (including interest accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Designated Senior Claims, whether or not a claim for such interest would be allowed) before Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Note Guarantor’s Guarantee; and
(b)      until all Obligations with respect to the Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor (as provided in clause (a) above) are paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders of the Notes would be entitled but for this Article 11 shall be made to holders of such Designated Senior Claims as their interests may appear.
Section 11.10      Default on Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor.
(a)      The Note Guarantor may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Note Guarantor’s Guarantee and may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any Notes for cash or property until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Designated Senior Claims have been paid in full if (1) a payment default on Designated Senior Claims occurs and is continuing; or (2) any other default occurs and is continuing on any Designated Senior Claims that permits holders of such Designated Senior Claims to accelerate its maturity, or otherwise demand its payment, and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Issuer or the Note Guarantor or the Representative of any Designated Senior Claims. For purposes of this Article 11 of this Indenture, the existence of an Outstanding Government Claim shall constitute a payment default with respect to any Claims within the meaning of clause (v) of the definition of Designated Senior Claims.
(b)      The Note Guarantor may and will resume payments on any distributions in respect of such Note Guarantor’s Guarantee and may acquire them upon the earlier of:
(1)      in the case of a payment default, upon the date upon which such default is cured or waived, and
(2)      in the case of a nonpayment default, upon the earlier of the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless, in the case of this clause (2), the maturity of any Designated Senior Claim has been accelerated or demand for payment of such Designated Senior Claim made, and such acceleration or demand for payment has not been waived or cancelled;
if this Article 11 otherwise permits such payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment, distribution or acquisition.
Section 11.11      Demand for Payment.
If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default and a demand for payment is made on the Note Guarantor pursuant to this Article 11, the Issuer, the Trustee or the Note Guarantor shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Claims or the Representative of such Designated Senior Claims of such demand; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article 11. If any Designated Senior Claim is outstanding, the Note Guarantor may not pay its Guarantee until ten (10) Business Days after the Representatives of all the issuers of such Designated Senior Claim receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay its Guarantee only if this Indenture and Federal law otherwise permits payment at that time.
Section 11.12      When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.
In the event that the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes receives any payment of, or any distributions with respect to, any Obligations with respect to the Note Guarantor’s Guarantee at a time when the payment is prohibited by Section 11.10 hereof and the Trustee or the Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited by Section 11.10 hereof, such payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Designated Senior Claims as their interests may appear or their Representative under the





agreement, indenture or other document (if any) pursuant to which Designated Senior Claims may have been issued or incurred, as the case may be, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Designated Senior Claims remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Designated Senior Claims.
Section 11.13      Subrogation.
After all Designated Senior Claims are paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Designated Senior Claims to receive distributions applicable to such Designated Senior Claims to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to Holders of Notes under the Note Guarantor’s Guarantee have been applied to the payment of Designated Senior Claims. A distribution made under this Article 11 to holders of such Designated Senior Claims which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Note Guarantor and Holders, a payment by the Note Guarantor on the Guarantee.
Section 11.14      Relative Rights.
This Article 11 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, nothing in this Indenture shall:
(a)      impair, as between the Note Guarantor and Holders, the obligation of the Note Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to make payments under its Guarantee in accordance with its terms;
(b)      prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a default by the Note Guarantor under its obligations with respect to its Guarantee, subject to the rights of holders of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor to receive payments or distributions otherwise payable to Holders and such other rights of such holders of Designated Senior Claims as set forth herein; or
(c)      affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Note Guarantor other than their rights in relation to holders of Designated Senior Claims.
Section 11.15      Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Note Guarantor.
No right of any holder of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the obligations of the Note Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Note Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.
Section 11.16      Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.
Notwithstanding Section 11.10 hereof, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments unless, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives notice that payments may not be made under this Article 11. Only the Issuer, the Note Guarantor or a Representative or a holder of Designated Senior Claims shall be entitled to give the notice; provided, however, that, if any Designated Senior Claim has a Representative, only the Representative shall be entitled to give the notice.
Section 11.17      Distribution or Notice to Representative.
Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative, if any.
Section 11.18      Article 11 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Demand Payment.
The failure of the Note Guarantor to make a payment pursuant its Guarantee by reason of any provision in this Article 11 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default by the Note Guarantor under its Guarantee. Nothing in this Article 11 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on the Note Guarantor pursuant to this Article 11.
Section 11.19      Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.





Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes pursuant to Article 8 or Article 12 hereof shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 11, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Note Guarantor or any holder of any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor or any other creditor of the Note Guarantor, provided that, the subordination provisions of this Article 11 were not violated at the time the applicable amounts were deposited in trust pursuant to Article 8 or Article 12 hereof, as the case may be.
Section 11.20      Trustee Entitled to Rely.
Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 11, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.09 hereof are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon the Representatives of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 11. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 11, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Designated Senior Claim held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 11, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 hereof shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 11.
Section 11.21      Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
A Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, agrees to be bound by this Article 11 and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee, on such Holder’s behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor as provided in this Article 11 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
Section 11.22      Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of any Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Note Guarantor or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of any Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 11 or otherwise, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.
Section 11.23      Reliance by Holders of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor on Subordinated Provisions.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 11.08 through Section 11.24 hereof are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor, whether such Designated Senior Claim was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Designated Senior Claim and such holder of such Designated Senior Claim shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Designated Senior Claim.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 11 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Designated Senior Claims of the Note Guarantor, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor; (iii) release any Person liable in any





manner for the payment or collection of any Designated Senior Claim of the Note Guarantor; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Note Guarantor and any other Person.
Section 11.24      Amendments.
The provisions of Section 11.08 through Section 11.24 hereof may not be amended or modified without the written consent of holders of all Designated Senior Claims.
ARTICLE 12
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 12.01      Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, except that the Issuer’s and the Note Guarantor’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof and the Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s obligations under Section 8.06 and Section 8.07 hereof shall survive, when:
(1)      either:
(a)      all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(b)      all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one (1) year and the Issuer or the Note Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to the Maturity Date of or redemption date;
(2)      in respect of subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 12.01, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or the Note Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or the Note Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);
(3)      the Issuer or the Note Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and
(4)      the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at the Maturity Date or on the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Sections 8.06, 8.07 and 12.02 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 12.02      Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the





Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and the Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

For purposes of this Section 13.16, the Tax Reporting Determination Notice mailed or distributed electronically in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such Tax Reporting Determination Notice. In any case, failure to give the Tax Reporting Determination Notice to a Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the Tax Reporting Determination Notice with respect to any other Holder. Any Holder may waive in writing the right to receive the Tax Reporting Determination Notice either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of delivery to such Holder of such Tax Reporting Determination Notice. Such waivers shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
(d)      Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Notes, agrees to use the Tax Issue Price and to apply the Tax Reporting Rules that the Issuer has determined to apply to the Notes, including, if applicable, the “comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule” or the applicable payment schedule, for its own tax reporting and return filing.

[PIK Note] 4  

8.0% PIK TOGGLE NOTE DUE 2019/2024

4 Only for PIK Notes.
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1.      Interest . USEC Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Issuer ”), as obligor, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate and in the manner specified below.
The Issuer shall pay, in cash, interest on the principal amount of this Note, at the rate of 8.0% per annum; provided that (a) for any Interest Payment Date (as defined below) between the Issue Date and September 30, 2014, the Issuer may elect to pay up to 1.5% per annum of interest then due in PIK Notes or PIK Interest (b) for any Interest Payment Date between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015, the Issuer may elect to pay up to 3% per annum of interest then due in PIK Notes or PIK Interest and (c) for any Interest Payment Date from October 1, 2015 through the Initial Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be, the Issuer may elect to pay up to 5.5% per annum of interest then due in PIK Notes or PIK Interest. The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on [__] and [__] of each year, and on the Maturity Date, commencing on [__], 2014, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “ Interest Payment Date ”).
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. To the extent lawful, the Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code) on overdue principal in cash at the rate of 2% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes; the Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) at the same rate to the extent lawful and in the same method of payment as the previous interest period.
2.      Method of Payment . With respect to the initial interest period, the Issuer has made the Initial PIK Election. After the initial interest period, in the event that the Issuer shall determine to pay any interest in the form of a PIK Payment, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee), with respect to each interest period subsequent to the initial interest period, no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the beginning of the relevant interest period a PIK Notice setting forth whether the Issuer has elected to pay any portion of the interest payment for such period in the form of a PIK Payment and, if so, the percentage of interest to be paid in the form of a PIK Payment. The Trustee shall promptly deliver a corresponding notice to the Holders. In the absence of an election for an interest payment date, interest on the Notes shall be payable according to the method of payment set forth in the PIK Notice (excluding for the purpose, the Initial PIK Election) for the previous interest payment date, or if no prior PIK Notice was delivered to the Trustee for the previous interest payment date, notwithstanding the Initial PIK Election, the Issuer shall be deemed to have elected to pay interest due on such interest payment date in the form of a PIK Payment at the maximum percentage permitted under the Indenture and the Notes.





The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Issuer may pay principal and interest by check to a Holder’s registered address.
At all times, PIK Interest on the Notes will be payable (x) with respect to Notes represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of, or held by, DTC or its nominee on the relevant record date, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Global Note by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar) as provided in an Authentication Order from the Issuer to the Trustee and (y) with respect to Notes represented by Definitive Notes, by issuing PIK Notes in certificated form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar), and the Trustee will, at the request of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes for original issuance to the Holders on the relevant record date, as shown by the records of the register of Holders. Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes as a result of a PIK Payment, the Global Note will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the Interest Payment Date related to the PIK Payment. Any PIK Notes issued certificated form will be dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and will bear interest from and after such date. All Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment will mature on [•], 2019 (or on [•], 2024 if the Maturity Date of the Notes has been extended under the terms of Section 2.01 of the Indenture) and will be governed by, and subject to, the terms, provisions and conditions of, the Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the Notes issued on the Issue Date.
3.      Paying Agent and Registrar . Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to any Holder. Subject to certain exceptions, any Subsidiary may act in any such capacity.
4.      Indenture . The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of [__], 2014 (the “ Indenture ”) among the Issuer, the Note Guarantor named therein, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “ TIA ”) (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA and thereafter as in effect on the date the Indenture is so qualified. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The terms of the Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between the Indenture and the Notes. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Indenture.
5.      Optional Redemption . The Notes shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, up to the redemption date.
6.      Mandatory Redemption . There shall be no mandatory redemption of the Notes.
7.      Denominations, Transfer, Exchange . The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of [$1.00] and integral multiples of [$1.00], except that PIK Notes or increased principal amount of a Global Note shall be in denominations of $1.00 or any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee shall require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or





permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar and the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer (i) of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or (ii) of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
8.      Persons Deemed Owners . The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes, subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect to the record dates for the payment of interest.
9.      Amendments and Waivers . Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (except certain payment defaults) may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). Without the consent of any Holders, the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of the Issuer’s obligations to the Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes, or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder or under the Indenture or the Security Documents of any Holder, to release the Guarantee of the Notes permitted to be released under the terms of the Indenture, to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or to comply with the requirements of the Trustee and the Depositary (including its nominees) with respect to transfers of beneficial interests in the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, the Issuer, the Note Guarantor and the Collateral Agent may not amend or supplement the Security Documents or waive or modify the rights of the Holders thereunder or the provisions of the Indenture relating thereto, in either case, in a manner adverse to the Holders. In addition, unless otherwise provided in this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of not less than 66⅔% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, the Issuer, the Note Guarantor and the Trustee may not amend or supplement the Security Documents to release Collateral from the Liens created by the Security Documents if the Fair Market Value of such Collateral exceeds $5,000,000.
10.      Defaults and Remedies . If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require security and indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of 66⅔% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Issuer must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee.
11.      Subordination of the Notes . Payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes is subordinated to the prior payment of Issuer Senior Debt on the terms provided in the Indenture.
12.      Trustee Dealings with Issuer . The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.





13.      No Recourse Against Others . No director, member, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or controlling person of the Issuer or the Note Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Note Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture or the Security Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this provision shall be construed as a waiver or release of any claims under the Federal securities laws.
14.      Authentication . This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
15.      Abbreviations . Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
16.      CUSIP Numbers . Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
17.      Governing Law . This Note and the Indenture shall be construed, interpreted and the rights of the parties determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including, without limitation, Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law and New York Civil Practice Laws and Rules 327(b).
