NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have presented the condensed consolidated financial statements of BWX Technologies, Inc. (“BWXT”) (formerly known as The Babcock & Wilcox Company) in U.S. Dollars in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain financial information and disclosures normally included in our financial statements prepared annually in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Readers of these financial statements should, therefore, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (our “2014 10-K”). We have included all adjustments, in the opinion of management, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation.

We use the equity method to account for investments in entities that we do not control, but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence. We generally refer to these entities as “joint ventures.” We have reclassified amounts previously reported to conform to the presentation as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and accounts. We present the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, “we,” “us” and “our” mean BWXT and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Spin-off

On June 30, 2015, we completed the spin-off of our Power Generation business (the “spin-off”) into an independent, publicly traded company named Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“BWE”). The separation was effected through a pro rata distribution of 100% of BWE’s common stock to BWXT’s stockholders. The distribution of BWE common stock consisted of one share of BWE common stock for every two shares of BWXT common stock to holders of BWXT common stock on the record date of June 18, 2015. Cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares of BWE common stock. Following the spin-off, BWXT did not retain any ownership interest in BWE. Prior to June 30, 2015, we completed an internal restructuring that separated the subsidiaries involved in our former Power Generation business and established BWE as the direct or indirect parent company of those subsidiaries. Concurrent with the spin-off, The Babcock & Wilcox Company was renamed BWX Technologies, Inc.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, as well as the accompanying notes, reflect the historical operations of our former Power Generation business as discontinued operations. See Note 2 for further information regarding the spin-off of BWE. The discussions in this quarterly report are presented on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

Reporting Segments

As a result of the spin-off of our former Power Generation business that is now reported as discontinued operations, we now operate in three reportable segments: Nuclear Operations, Technical Services and Nuclear Energy. Prior to 2015, our mPower business was a separate reportable segment. In accordance with FASB Topic Segment Reporting , mPower no longer meets the quantitative threshold criteria and will be included in our “Other” category as it is no longer considered a reportable segment. This change in our reportable segments had no impact on our previously reported results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We have applied these changes in reportable segments to previously reported historical financial information and related disclosures included in this report. Our reportable segments are further described as follows:

 

   

Our Nuclear Operations segment’s primary activity is the manufacture of naval nuclear reactors for the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”)/National Nuclear Security Administration’s (“NNSA”) Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, which in turn supplies them to the U.S. Navy for use in submarines and aircraft carriers. Through this segment, we own and operate manufacturing facilities located in Lynchburg, Virginia; Mount Vernon, Indiana; Euclid, Ohio; Barberton, Ohio; and Erwin, Tennessee. The Barberton and Mount Vernon locations specialize in the design and manufacture of heavy components. These two locations are N-Stamp certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (“ASME”), making them two of only a few North American suppliers of large, heavy-walled nuclear components and vessels. The

Table of Contents
 

Euclid facility, which is also ASME N-Stamp certified, fabricates electro-mechanical equipment for the U.S. Government, and performs design, manufacturing, inspection, assembly and testing activities. The Lynchburg operations fabricate fuel-bearing precision components that range in weight from a few grams to hundreds of tons. In-house capabilities also include wet chemistry uranium processing, advanced heat treatment to optimize component material properties and a controlled, clean-room environment with the capacity to assemble railcar-size components. Fuel for the naval nuclear reactors is provided by Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (“NFS”), one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Located in Erwin, Tennessee, NFS also converts Cold War-era government stockpiles of highly enriched uranium into material suitable for further processing into commercial nuclear reactor fuel.

 

    Our Technical Services segment provides various services to the U.S. Government, including uranium processing, environmental site restoration services and management and operating services for various U.S. Government-owned facilities. These services are provided primarily to the DOE, including the NNSA, the Office of Nuclear Energy, the Office of Science and the Office of Environmental Management and the Department of Defense. Through this segment we deliver products and management solutions to nuclear operations and high-consequence manufacturing facilities. A significant portion of this segment’s operations are conducted through joint ventures.

 

    Our Nuclear Energy segment supplies commercial nuclear steam generators, components and services to nuclear utility customers. BWXT has supplied the nuclear industry with more than 1,300 large, heavy components worldwide. This segment is the only commercial heavy nuclear component, N-Stamp certified manufacturer in North America. Our Nuclear Energy segment fabricates pressure vessels, reactors, steam generators, heat exchangers and other auxiliary equipment. This segment also provides specialized engineering services that include structural component design, 3-D thermal-hydraulic engineering analysis, weld and robotic process development and metallurgy and materials engineering. In addition, this segment offers services for nuclear steam generators and balance of plant equipment, as well as nondestructive examination and tooling/repair solutions for other plant systems and components. This segment also offers engineering and licensing services for new nuclear plant designs.

See Note 10 for further information regarding our segments.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes included in our 2014 10-K.

Contracts and Revenue Recognition

We generally recognize contract revenues and related costs on a percentage-of-completion method for individual contracts or combinations of contracts based on work performed, man hours or a cost-to-cost method, as applicable to the product or activity involved. We recognize estimated contract revenue and resulting income based on the measurement of the extent of progress towards completion as a percentage of the total project. Certain costs may be excluded from the cost-to-cost method of measuring progress, such as significant costs for materials and major third-party subcontractors, if it appears that such exclusion would result in a more meaningful measurement of actual contract progress and resulting periodic allocation of income. We include revenues and related costs so recorded, plus accumulated contract costs that exceed amounts invoiced to customers under the terms of the contracts, in contracts in progress. We include in advance billings on contracts billings that exceed accumulated contract costs and revenues and costs recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. Most long-term contracts contain provisions for progress payments. Our unbilled receivables do not contain an allowance for credit losses as we expect to invoice customers and collect all amounts for unbilled revenues. We review contract price and cost estimates periodically as the work progresses and reflect adjustments proportionate to the percentage-of-completion in income in the period when those estimates are revised. For all contracts, if a current estimate of total contract cost indicates a loss on a contract, the projected loss is recognized in full when determined.

For contracts as to which we are unable to estimate the final profitability except to assure that no loss will ultimately be incurred, we recognize equal amounts of revenue and cost until the final results can be estimated more precisely. For these deferred profit recognition contracts, we recognize revenue and cost equally and only recognize gross margin when probable and reasonably estimable, which we generally determine to be when the contract is approximately 70% complete. We treat long-term contracts that contain such a level of risk and uncertainty that estimation of the final outcome is impractical, except to assure that no loss will be incurred, as deferred profit recognition contracts.

 

11


Table of Contents

Our policy is to account for fixed-price contracts under the completed-contract method if we believe that we are unable to reasonably forecast cost to complete at start-up. Under the completed-contract method, income is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially complete.

Warranty Expense

We accrue estimated expense included in cost of operations on our condensed consolidated statements of income to satisfy contractual warranty requirements when we recognize the associated revenue on the related contracts. In addition, we record specific provisions or reductions where we expect the actual warranty costs to significantly differ from the accrued estimates. Such changes could have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The following summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of our accrued warranty expense:

Research and Development

Our research and development activities are related to the development and improvement of new and existing products and equipment, as well as conceptual and engineering evaluation for translation into practical applications. We charge the costs of research and development unrelated to specific contracts as incurred. Substantially all of these costs are related to our mPower program for the development of our mPower TM reactor and the associated mPower Plant.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized $1.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of non-cash, in-kind research and development costs related to services contributed by our minority partner to Generation mPower LLC, our majority-owned subsidiary formed in 2011 to oversee the mPower program to develop the small modular nuclear power plant based on mPower™ technology. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received funding of $19.8 million under our Cooperative Agreement with the DOE under its Small Modular Reactor Licensing Technical Support Program (the “Cooperative Agreement”). On April 14, 2014, we announced our plans to restructure the mPower program to reduce spending and focus on technology development. We slowed the pace of development and intend to invest no more than $15 million on an annual basis while we focus on technology development. At this time, the latest extension to the Cooperative Agreement has expired and the DOE funding has been suspended.

Provision for Income Taxes

We are subject to federal income tax in the U.S. and Canada as well as income tax within multiple U.S. state jurisdictions. We provide for income taxes based on the enacted tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our operations. These jurisdictions may have regimes of taxation that vary with respect to nominal rates and with respect to the basis on which these rates are applied. This variation, along with changes in our mix of income within these jurisdictions, can contribute to shifts in our effective tax rate from period to period. We classify interest and penalties related to taxes (net of any applicable tax benefit) as a component of provision for income taxes on our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately 104.7% as compared to 29.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 largely due to the impact of the spin-off of our Power Generation business. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately 42.9% as compared to 23.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Specifically, the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were higher than our statutory rate primarily due to the change in our tax footprint associated with the spin-off, resulting in the revaluations of deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as the need to recognize tax provision on our global earnings at our U.S. federal rate due to the likely repatriation of future foreign earnings. These matters resulted in $3.8 million of tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were lower than our statutory rate due to the impact of an increase in benefits from amended federal manufacturing deductions, and the receipt of a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that retroactively reduced the U.S. tax owed on income from certain of our foreign joint ventures.

As of June 30, 2015, we have gross unrecognized tax benefits of $8.3 million. Of the $8.3 million gross unrecognized tax benefits, $6.1 million would reduce our effective tax rate if recognized.

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Spin-off of BWE

On June 30, 2015, we completed the spin-off of BWE to our stockholders through a stock distribution. BWE’s assets and business primarily consist of those that we previously reported as our Power Generation segment. In connection with the spin-off, our stockholders received 100% of the outstanding common stock of BWE. The distribution of BWE common stock occurred by way of a pro rata stock distribution to our stockholders. Our stockholders received one share of BWE common stock for every two shares of our common stock held by such stockholder on June 18, 2015, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Prior to the completion of the spin-off, BWXT made a cash payment to BWE totaling $132 million, in order for BWE to maintain appropriate working capital and liquidity levels.

In order to effect the distribution and govern BWXT’s relationship with BWE after the distribution, BWXT entered into a master separation agreement with BWE. In addition to the master separation agreement, BWXT and BWE entered into other agreements in connection with the distribution, including a tax sharing agreement and transition services agreements.

Master Separation Agreement

The master separation agreement between us and BWE contains the key provisions relating to the separation of our former Power Generation business from BWXT and the distribution of shares of BWE common stock. The master separation agreement identifies the assets that were transferred, liabilities that were assumed and contracts that were assigned to BWE by BWXT or by BWE to BWXT in the spin-off and describes how these transfers, assumptions and assignments occurred. Under the master separation agreement we also agreed to indemnify BWE against various claims and liabilities related to the past operation of BWXT’s business (other than BWE’s business).

As of the spin-off, the Company has outstanding performance guarantees for various projects executed by the Power Generation business in the normal course of business. These guarantees total $1,542 million and range in expiration dates from 2015 to 2035. The master separation agreement requires that the Power Generation business use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate (or have it or one of its subsidiaries substituted for us) all existing guarantees by us relating to our former Power Generation business, including financial, performance and other guarantee obligations. The Power Generation business is required (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform all underlying obligations covered by the guarantees, (ii) to take all actions to put the Company in the same position as if the Power Generation business, not the Company, had performed or were performing the guarantee obligations, and (iii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any losses arising from the guarantees. Moreover, to the extent that the Power Generation business fails to terminate or substitute any of the existing guarantees by the 24-month anniversary of the spin-off, the Power Generation business will be obligated to pay a quarterly carrying fee until the expiration of the guarantee or the termination or substitution of the guarantee, whichever occurs first. We estimated the fair value of these performance guarantees at June 30, 2015 to total $10.2 million and have recorded these amounts in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

Tax Sharing Agreement

We and BWE have entered into an agreement providing for the sharing of taxes incurred before and after the distribution, various indemnification rights with respect to tax matters and restrictions to preserve the tax-free status of the distribution to BWXT. Under the terms of the tax sharing agreement we have entered into in connection with the spin-off, we will generally be responsible for 60% of any taxes imposed on us or BWE and its subsidiaries in the event that the spin-off and/or certain related preparatory transactions were to fail to qualify for tax-free treatment. However, if the spin-off and/or certain related preparatory transactions were to fail to qualify for tax-free treatment because of actions or failures to act by BWE, we would not be responsible for the related taxes associated with these actions. Conversely, if the spin-off and/or certain related preparatory transactions were to fail to qualify for tax-free treatment because of actions or failures to act by us, we would be responsible for all related taxes associated with these actions.

Transition Services Agreements

Under the transition services agreements, BWXT and BWE are providing each other certain transition services for a limited time. Such services include, among others, accounting, human resources, information technology, legal, risk management, tax and treasury services. In consideration for such services, BWXT and BWE each pay fees to the other for the services provided, and those fees are generally in amounts intended to allow the party providing the services to recover its direct and indirect costs incurred in providing those services. The transition services agreements contain customary mutual indemnification provisions.

NOTE 3 – SPECIAL CHARGES FOR RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In 2014, we began certain initiatives aimed at driving margin improvement in our Nuclear Energy segment. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred $0.7 million of expenses related to facility consolidation and employee termination benefits in connection with these initiatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred $2.5 million related to employee termination benefits and $0.3 million related to facility consolidation.

In addition, we incurred $15.9 million and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the restructuring of our mPower program. The 2015 amount relates to asset impairments as a result of the significant adverse changes in the business prospects of the mPower program. We incurred additional expenses related to employee termination benefits totaling $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to the restructuring of our Technical Services segment.

The following summarizes the changes in our restructuring liability for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

At June 30, 2015, unpaid restructuring charges totaled $1.5 million for employee termination benefits and $0.1 million for administrative costs.

NOTE 4 – CREDIT FACILITY

On May 11, 2015, BWXT entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and letter of credit issuers, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $400 million, the full amount of which is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, $300 million of which was drawn upon closing on June 30, 2015. The remaining commitment for the term loan expires on December 31, 2015. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature on the fifth anniversary of its closing date. The proceeds of loans under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all indebtedness under BWXT’s former secured credit facility, and remaining amounts are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement includes provisions for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its commitment thereunder, subject to an aggregate maximum of $250 million for all incremental term loan, revolving credit borrowings and letter of credit commitments.

The Credit Agreement is (i) guaranteed by substantially all of BWXT’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, excluding BWXT’s captive insurance subsidiary, and (ii) secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by BWXT and the guarantors (other than the BWXT’s subsidiaries comprising its Nuclear Operations and Technical Services segments).

The Credit Agreement requires interest payments on revolving loans on a periodic basis until maturity. BWXT is also required to make quarterly amortization payments on the term loan portion of the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the term loan facility that is utilized. BWXT may prepay all loans under the Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to notice requirements.

Table of Contents

Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at BWXT’s option at either the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% per year or the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% per year. Starting on the closing date of the Credit Agreement, we are charged a commitment fee on the unused portions of the revolving credit facility and term loan facility, and that fee varies between 0.150% and 0.250% per year. Additionally, we are charged a letter of credit fee of between 1.25% and 1.75% per year with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit issued under the Credit Agreement and a letter of credit fee of between 0.75% and 1.05% per year is charged with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit issued under the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin for loans, the commitment fee and the letter of credit fees set forth above will vary quarterly based on the BWXT’s leverage ratio. Upon the closing of the Credit Agreement, BWXT paid certain upfront fees to the lenders thereunder, and paid arrangement and other fees to the arrangers and agents of the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2015, borrowings outstanding totaled $300.0 million and $30.0 million under our term loan and revolving line of credit, respectively, and letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement totaled $71.7 million, resulting in $498.3 million available for borrowings or to meet letter of credit requirements.

Based on the current credit ratings of the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency rate loans is 1.375%, the applicable margin for base rate loans is 0.375%, the letter of credit fee for financial letters of credit is 1.375%, the letter of credit fee for performance letters of credit is 0.825%, and the commitment fee for unused portions of the Credit Agreement is 0.175%. The Credit Agreement does not have a floor for the base rate or the Eurocurrency rate. As of June 30, 2015, the interest rate on borrowings under our Credit Agreement was 1.56%.

The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that will be tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted leverage ratio is 3.00 to 1.00, which ratio may be increased to 3.25 to 1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters after a material acquisition. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio is 4.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including with respect to debt, liens, investments, mergers, acquisitions, dividends, equity repurchases and asset sales.

The Credit Agreement generally includes customary events of default for a secured credit facility. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events with respect to BWXT occurs under the Credit Agreement, all obligations under the Credit Agreement will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be permitted to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement. If any event of default occurs under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be permitted to terminate their commitments thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies, including the commencement of foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

If any default occurs under the Credit Agreement, or if BWXT is unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement, BWXT will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, significant lump sum payments were made from certain salaried Canadian pension plans. As a result, we remeasured certain of our Canadian pension plans resulting in the recognition of a net actuarial loss of $2.2 million, which includes a $2.6 million settlement loss and a $0.4 million actuarial gain. We have excluded the recognized net actuarial loss from our reportable segments, and such amount has been reflected in Note 10 as the Mark to Market Adjustment in the reconciliation of reportable segment income to consolidated operating income. We recorded $1.0 million of the net actuarial loss within cost of operations and $1.2 million of the loss within selling, general and administrative expenses.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes during the period covered by this Form 10-Q in the status of the legal proceedings disclosed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II of our 2014 10-K.

Investigations and Litigation

Apollo and Parks Township

In January 2010, Michelle McMunn, Cara D. Steele and Yvonne Sue Robinson filed suit against Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (“B&W PGG”), Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group, Inc., formerly known as B&W Nuclear Environmental Services, Inc. and now known as BWXT Technical Services Group, Inc. (the “BWXT Parties”) and Atlantic Richfield Company (“ARCO”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Since January 2010, additional suits have been filed by additional plaintiffs and there are currently sixteen lawsuits pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against the BWXT Parties and ARCO, including the most recent lawsuit filed in June 2015. In total, the suits presently involve approximately 97 primary claimants. The primary claimants allege, among other things, personal injuries and property damage as a result of alleged releases of radioactive material relating to the operation, remediation, and/or decommissioning of two former nuclear fuel processing facilities located in the Borough of Apollo and Parks Township, Pennsylvania (collectively, the “Apollo and Parks Litigation”). Those facilities previously were owned by Nuclear Materials and Equipment Company, a former subsidiary of ARCO (“NUMEC”), which was acquired by B&W PGG. The plaintiffs in the Apollo and Parks Litigation seek compensatory and punitive damages, and in November 2014 delivered a demand of $125.0 million for the settlement of all then-filed actions. All of the suits, except for the most recent filing, have been consolidated for non-dispositive pre-trial matters. Fact discovery in the Apollo and Parks Litigation is now closed for all claims other than the most recent claims in June 2015, but no trial date has been set. In connection with the spin-off, we agreed to indemnify B&W PGG and its affiliates for any losses arising from the Apollo and Parks Litigation pursuant to the Master Separation Agreement.

In May 2015, the magistrate judge overseeing the consolidated suits (representing fifteen of the lawsuits filed to date and 93 primary claimants) issued a report recommending, among other things, that two motions for summary judgment filed by the BWXT Parties (Failure to Raise a Genuine Issue For Trial on Breach of Duty and Lack of Evidence Regarding Exposure and Dose) be granted. This recommendation must be adopted by the presiding judge in order to have effect, and the presiding judge is not obligated to follow the magistrate’s recommendations. The parties have filed their respective responses to the report and the BWXT Parties are currently evaluating the need for further reply. Once all responses are lodged, the presiding judge will consider the motions, the magistrate’s report and recommendation and the parties’ responses and rule on the motions.

At the time of ARCO’s sale of NUMEC stock to B&W PGG, B&W PGG received an indemnity and hold harmless agreement from ARCO, which has been assigned to BWXT and its affiliates, with respect to claims and liabilities arising prior to or as a result of conduct or events predating the acquisition.

Insurance coverage and/or the ARCO indemnity currently provides coverage for the claims alleged in the Apollo and Parks Litigation, although no assurance can be given that insurance and/or the indemnity will be available or sufficient in the event of liability, if any.

The BWXT Parties and ARCO were defendants in a prior litigation filed in 1994 relating to the operation of the Apollo Borough and Parks Township facilities in the matter of Donald F. Hall and Mary Ann Hall, et al., v. Babcock & Wilcox Company, et al. (the “Hall Litigation”). In 1998, the BWXT Parties settled all then-pending and future punitive damage claims in the Hall Litigation for $8.0 million and sought reimbursement from third parties, including its insurers, American Nuclear Insurers and Mutual Atomic Energy Liability Underwriters (“ANI”). In

Table of Contents

2008, ARCO settled the Hall Litigation with the plaintiffs for $27.5 million. The BWXT Parties then settled the Hall Litigation in 2009 for $52.5 million, settling approximately 250 personal injury and wrongful death claims, as well as approximately 125 property damage claims, alleging damages as a result of alleged releases involving the facilities. ARCO and the BWXT Parties retained their insurance rights against ANI in their respective settlements; however, under a related settlement regarding ARCO’s indemnification of B&W PGG relating to the two facilities, ARCO assigned to BWXT 58.33% of the total of all ARCO’s proceeds/amounts recovered against ANI on account of the Hall Litigation.

The BWXT Parties sought recovery from ANI for amounts paid by the BWXT Parties to settle the Hall Litigation, along with unreimbursed attorney fees, allocated amounts assigned by ARCO to the BWXT Parties, and applicable interest based upon ANI’s breach of contract and bad faith conduct in the matter of The Babcock & Wilcox Company et al. v. American Nuclear Insurers, et al. (the “ANI Litigation”). ARCO also sought recovery against ANI in the ANI Litigation, which has been pending before the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

In September 2011, a jury returned a verdict in the ANI Litigation, finding that the BWXT Parties’ settlement of the Hall Litigation for $52.5 million and ARCO’s settlement for $27.5 million were fair and reasonable. Following the verdict, in February 2012, the BWXT Parties, ARCO and ANI entered into an agreement (the “February 2012 Agreement”) in which the parties agreed to the dismissal with prejudice of all remaining claims pending in the ANI Litigation, excluding the BWXT Parties’ and ARCO’s claims seeking reimbursement from ANI for the $52.5 million and $27.5 million settlements (plus interest) (the “Settlement Claims”). By agreement, ANI also waived: (1) any and all rights to appeal the September 2011 jury verdict on the basis of the trial court’s evidentiary rulings; and (2) any defenses and arguments of any kind except ANI’s position that it was not required to reimburse the BWXT Parties’ and ARCO for their settlements under the provisions of the ANI policies. In February 2012, the Court granted the parties’ proposed order implementing their agreement and entered final judgment in favor of the BWXT Parties and ARCO on the Settlement Claims (the “February 2012 Judgment”). As part of the February 2012 Judgment, the Court ruled that the B&W Parties and ARCO are entitled to pre-judgment interest on their $52.5 million and $27.5 million settlements, in the amounts of approximately $8.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively. In addition, post-verdict interest from the date of the jury verdict was awarded at 6%. In March 2012, ANI filed a notice of appeal as to the final judgment and a supersedeas appeal bond in the amount of 120% of the total final judgment amount. The parties filed their respective briefs with the Superior Court and oral arguments were held October 31, 2012.

In July 2013, the Superior Court reversed the judgment of the trial court with instructions to reconsider the issue of the Settlement Claims under a different standard. In August 2013, B&W and ARCO filed a request for appeal of the Superior Court’s decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. On January 24, 2014, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania granted the request for appeal. The parties’ briefs on the appeal have been filed and oral arguments were held October 7, 2014.

On July 21, 2015, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued its ruling by reversing the decision of the Superior Court and reinstating the trial court’s February 2012 Judgment in favor of the BWXT Parties and ARCO. ANI has filed an application for reargument, which BWXT plans to oppose. Under the February 2012 Agreement, the parties agreed that there would be no recourse to the United States Supreme Court and, following the exhaustion of its other appeal remedies, ANI is required to pay the BWXT Parties and ARCO all amounts in satisfaction of the February 2012 Judgment, plus any pre- and post-judgment interest and $5 million in liquidated contingency. BWXT has not recognized any amounts claimed in the ANI Litigation in its financial statements.

Prairie Island

On November 12, 2014, one of our subsidiaries, Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy, Inc., which was re-named BWXT Nuclear Energy, Inc. in connection with the spin-off (“BWXT NE”), filed suit in the District Court, 1st JDC, Goodhue County Minnesota, Docket No. 25.cv.14.2626, against both Northern States Power Co. d/b/a Xcel Energy (“Xcel”) and SNC-Lavalin Nuclear (USA), Inc. (“SNC-Lavalin”) claiming $45.4 million in damages along with interest and attorneys’ fees for breach of contract and pursuant to a previously filed mechanic’s lien on Xcel’s property. The suit arose from a steam generator replacement project at Xcel’s Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant in Red Wing, Minnesota in which BWXT NE served as subcontractor to SNC-Lavalin. BWXT NE’s claims asserted, among other things, that amounts owed to BWXT NE had been improperly withheld and that Xcel was not entitled to impose certain liquidated damages for delay under the terms of BWXT NE’s contract. On May 29, 2015, BWXT NE entered into an agreement with Xcel and SNC-Lavalin settling all claims and disputes between the parties related to the dispute. As a result of the settlement agreement, Xcel made a lump sum payment to BWXT NE in the amount of $36.3 million, which was equal to the net asset recorded on our balance sheet for this matter.

New Mexico Environment Department

One of our subsidiaries owns a 30% interest in a joint venture, Nuclear Waste Partnership, LLC (“NWP”), which is executing a prime contract with the DOE for the management and operation of the DOE’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico (the “WIPP”). Another of our subsidiaries owns a 13% interest in a separate joint venture, Los Alamos National Security, LLC (“LANS”), which is executing a prime contract with the DOE/NNSA for the management and operation of the DOE’s Los Alamos National Laboratory (“Los Alamos”). On December 6, 2014, the DOE and each of its contractors, NWP and LANS, received Administrative Compliance Orders from the New Mexico Environment Department (“NMED”) alleging violations of New Mexico environmental laws and regulations at both WIPP and Los Alamos associated with radiological incidents that occurred at the WIPP in February 2014 (the “WIPP Event”). The Administrative Compliance Orders assessed civil penalties of approximately $17.75 million on the DOE and NWP and approximately $36.6 million on the DOE and LANS for the alleged violations at both the WIPP and Los Alamos. On April 30, 2015 the DOE, NWP, LANS and NMED reached a settlement framework in lieu of fines related to NMED’s alleged violations at WIPP and Los Alamos. The implementation of this settlement framework is ongoing. DOE/NNSA and LANS have executed an NNSA Fee Waiver Agreement, dated June 6, 2015, that resolves all financial liability issues concerning the WIPP Event. In return for a broad release of liability from NNSA for the WIPP Event, LANS agreed to repay NNSA certain provisional fee payments within five business days of the execution of a final settlement agreement between the DOE, NMED and LANS, which is expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 2015. Once the final settlement agreement is executed, the return of provisional fees by LANS will require a related immaterial payment by a BWXT subsidiary to LANS in accordance with the LANS operating agreement. No fee repayments or fines were assessed against NWP as part of the settlement framework.

mPower

In April 2014, BWXT announced plans to restructure our mPower program for the development of our mPower reactor to focus on technology development. BWXT has worked with the DOE, Bechtel – our partner in Generation mPower LLC (“GmP”), and other stakeholders and potential investors in continuing efforts to restructure the mPower program in light of deteriorated market conditions. Although BWXT has continued to invest in the program at the rate of approximately $15 million annually, on July 13, 2015, Bechtel provided formal written notice asserting that BWXT and GmP are in material breach of the GmP Limited Liability Company Agreement dated February 28, 2011 (the “LLC Agreement”) for failing to make required investments.

On July 23, 2015, BWXT requested that Bechtel join BWXT in a mutually-agreed 60-day cooling-off period, in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, to which Bechtel responded with a counter-proposal. BWXT has firmly asserted that due to “significant adverse changes” that have developed since the inception of GmP, BWXT has made substantial efforts to mitigate these adverse changes and is not in breach of any material provisions of the LLC Agreement. The purposes of BWXT’s proposed cooling-off period are to attempt to negotiate in good faith a potential restructuring of the program or other resolution of this matter.

Bechtel has asserted that due to the alleged breaches by BWXT, in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, Bechtel is entitled to 150% of Bechtel’s approximately $80 million investment in the program. This investment was ‘in-kind’ only and did not involve any contribution of cash by Bechtel. BWXT strongly disagrees with Bechtel’s assertions. BWXT believes there have been significant adverse changes in the business prospects for nuclear power generally, as well as the business prospects of the program, and small modular reactors in particular, since the inception of the GmP Program. These significant adverse changes have resulted from developments and events such as the Fukushima disaster; extended projections of low natural gas prices; continuing ineffectiveness and uncertainty regarding emission controls on coal-fired power plants, compounded by other policies and regulatory changes that favor wind, solar and other renewables as alternatives to coal and legal battles that will likely continue to stifle any meaningful changes, such as the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2015 ruling to overturn certain EPA regulations regarding mercury and other emissions; and lower growth in electricity demand than projected due to multiple factors ranging from slower economic growth to increases in energy efficiency, among other events and developments. As a result of such significant adverse changes, BWXT has the right under the LLC Agreement to terminate the program. Bechtel is therefore not entitled to any return of its investment. However, rather than terminate the program, BWXT would prefer to continue its investment for some period of time in an effort to further mitigate the adverse changes that have occurred and to continue advancing the research and development of the mPower small modular reactor technology.

As BWXT has previously disclosed, the latest extension to the Cooperative Agreement with the DOE has expired and the DOE funding has been suspended. We continue to work with the DOE regarding the status of and options relating to the Cooperative Agreement.

BWXT believes the claims asserted by Bechtel are without contractual or legal basis. BWXT intends to aggressively defend against all claims. However, if Bechtel were to prevail on their claims in this matter, the outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Other Litigation and Settlements

On December 17, 2014, an unfavorable jury verdict was delivered against The Babcock & Wilcox Company, Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy, Inc. and Babcock & Wilcox Canada Ltd. in a case entitled AREVA NP, INC. f/k/a Framatome ANP, Inc. v. The Babcock & Wilcox Company, et. al. in the amount of approximately $16 million. We strongly disagree with the verdict and believe the plaintiff’s claims are without merit. We have filed a post-trial motion requesting that the verdict be set aside or a new trial granted. On March 5, 2015 the trial court denied a post-trial motion requesting that the verdict be set aside or a new trial granted. The BWXT parties to the suit have filed a petition for appeal with the Virginia Supreme Court.

The case was filed August 26, 2011 in the Circuit Court for the City of Lynchburg, Commonwealth of Virginia and alleged that the BWXT parties to the suit owed royalties on certain commercial nuclear contracts performed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries since 2004. As a result of the jury’s decision and notwithstanding our evaluation of post-trial remedies, we made provisions in our financial statements in the fourth quarter of 2014 for the full amount of the jury award.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our global operations give rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange (“FX”) rates. We use derivative financial instruments, primarily FX forward contracts, to reduce the impact of changes in FX rates on our operating results. We use these instruments primarily to hedge our exposure associated with revenues or costs on our long-term contracts that are denominated in currencies other than our operating entities’ functional currencies. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

We enter into derivative financial instruments primarily as hedges of certain firm purchase and sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies. We record these contracts at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based on the hedge designation at the inception of the contract, the related gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value and any portion excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are immediately recognized in other – net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. The gain or loss on a derivative instrument not designated as a hedging instrument is also immediately recognized in earnings. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments that require immediate recognition are included as a component of other– net in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

We have designated all of our FX forward contracts that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. The hedged risk is the risk of changes in functional-currency-equivalent cash flows attributable to changes in FX spot rates of forecasted transactions related to long-term contracts. We exclude from our assessment of effectiveness the portion of the fair value of the FX forward contracts attributable to the difference between FX spot rates and FX forward rates. At June 30, 2015, we had deferred approximately $0.4 million of net losses on these derivative financial instruments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Assuming market conditions continue, we expect to recognize substantially all of this amount in the next twelve months.

At June 30, 2015, our derivative financial instruments consisted of FX forward contracts. The notional value of our FX forward contracts totaled $47.2 million at June 30, 2015, with maturities extending to December 2016. These instruments consist primarily of contracts to purchase or sell Canadian Dollars. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. We attempt to mitigate this risk by using major financial institutions with high credit ratings. The counterparties to all of our FX forward contracts are financial institutions included in our credit facility. Our hedge counterparties have the benefit of the same collateral arrangements and covenants as described under our credit facility.

We estimate the fair value of investments based on quoted market prices. For investments for which there are no quoted market prices, we derive fair values from available yield curves for investments of similar quality and terms.

Derivatives

Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities currently consist of FX forward contracts. Where applicable, the value of these derivative assets and liabilities is computed by discounting the projected future cash flow amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including FX forward and spot rates, interest rates and counterparty performance risk adjustments. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had forward contracts outstanding to purchase or sell Canadian dollars, with a total fair value of $(3.0) million and $(2.9) million, respectively.

Other Financial Instruments

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value disclosures for our other financial instruments, as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents . The carrying amounts that we have reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to their highly liquid nature.

Long-term and short-term debt . We base the fair values of debt instruments on quoted market prices. Where quoted prices are not available, we base the fair values on the present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms. The fair value of our debt instruments approximated their carrying value at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

NOTE 9 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Total stock-based compensation expense for all of our plans recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $17.8 million and $21.5 million, respectively, with associated tax benefit recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 totaling $6.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively. We recognized $13.2 million of stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as costs to spin-off the Power Generation business. This expense related primarily to equity retention awards and expense acceleration associated with employee terminations.

Total stock-based compensation expense for all of our plans recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $5.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively, with associated tax benefit recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 totaling $2.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included under Item 1 of this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (our “2014 10-K”).

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise indicates, “we,” “us” and “our” mean BWX Technologies, Inc. (“BWXT”) (formerly known as The Babcock & Wilcox Company) and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.

From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. These statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future backlog, revenues, income and capital spending. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “goal,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “should” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. In addition, sometimes we will specifically describe a statement as being a forward-looking statement and refer to this cautionary statement.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:

 

    our business strategy;

 

    future levels of revenues (including our backlog and projected claims to the extent either may be viewed as an indicator of future revenues), operating margins, income from operations, net income or earnings per share;

 

    anticipated levels of demand for our products and services;

 

    future levels of research and development, capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures;

 

    our beliefs regarding the timing and effects on our businesses of certain tax legislation, rules or regulations;

 

    the success or timing of completion of ongoing or anticipated capital or maintenance projects;

 

    expectations regarding the acquisition or divestiture of assets and businesses;

 

    our share repurchase or other return of capital activities;

 

    our ability to maintain appropriate insurance and indemnities;

 

    the potential effects of judicial or other proceedings, including tax audits, on our business or businesses, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;

 

    the anticipated effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, or federal, foreign, state or local regulatory authorities, or plaintiffs in litigation;

 

    the effective date and expected impact of accounting pronouncements;

 

    our plans regarding the design, research and development, financing and deployment of the mPower TM reactor and related Department of Energy (“DOE”) funding program; and

 

    anticipated benefits, expected charges and changes associated with cost reduction and margin improvement activities.

In addition, various statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements.

We have based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industries and our company. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and you should not rely unduly on them, as they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. While our management considers these assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the future performance that we have expressed or forecast in our forward-looking statements.

    our ability to protect our intellectual property;

 

    changes in incurred cost trends and estimates used in the percentage-of-completion method of accounting;

 

    the operating risks normally incident to our lines of business, including the potential impact of project losses, liquidated damages and professional liability, product liability, warranty and other claims against us;

 

    our ability to manage our capital structure, including our access to capital, debt and ability to raise additional financing;

 

    our ability to comply with covenants in our credit agreement and other debt instruments and the availability, terms and deployment of capital;

 

    volatility and uncertainty of the credit markets;

 

    our ability to successfully manage research and development projects and costs, including our efforts to successfully develop and commercialize new technologies and products;

 

    risks associated with our restructuring of the mPower program, including the risk of exposure to claims of contractual and other liability from our current partner, customer or others;

 

    the risks associated with integrating businesses we acquire;

 

    our ability to obtain and maintain builder’s risk, liability, property and other insurance in amounts and on terms we consider adequate and at rates that we consider economical;

 

    the aggregated risks retained in our captive insurance subsidiary;

 

    the effects of asserted and unasserted claims;

 

    results of tax audits and the realization of deferred tax assets;

 

    changes in, and liabilities relating to, existing or future environmental matters and regulations, including with respect to our operations that involve the handling, transportation and disposal of radioactive or hazardous materials;

    potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

 

    our ability to successfully compete with current and future competitors;

 

    the loss of key personnel and the continued availability of qualified personnel;

 

    our inability to realize expected benefits from cost reduction and margin improvement initiatives;

 

    our ability to negotiate and maintain good relationships with labor unions;

 

    changes in pension and medical expenses associated with our retirement benefit programs and other actuarial assumptions;

 

    potentially insufficient systems of internal controls over financial reporting;

 

    the ability of our suppliers to deliver raw materials in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner;

 

    social, political and economic situations in foreign countries where we do business;

 

    the possibilities of natural disasters, war, other armed conflicts or terrorist attacks; and

 

    our ability to complete the spin-off of our Power Generation business without significant disruption to our business.

Table of Contents

We believe the items we have outlined above are important factors that could cause estimates in our financial statements to differ materially from actual results and those expressed in a forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere by us or on our behalf. We have discussed many of these factors in more detail elsewhere in this report and in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2014 10-K. These factors are not necessarily all the factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unanticipated factors we have not discussed in this report could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential important factor arises, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. We advise our security holders that they should (1) be aware that factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

As a result of the spin-off of our Power Generation business, we now operate in three segments: Nuclear Operations, Technical Services and Nuclear Energy. Prior to 2015, our mPower business was considered a separate reportable segment; however, in accordance with FASB Topic Segment Reporting , this business no longer meets the quantitative threshold criteria and will be included in our “Other” category as it is no longer considered a reportable segment.

In general, we operate in capital-intensive industries and rely on large contracts for a substantial amount of our revenues. We are currently exploring growth strategies across our segments through acquisitions to expand and complement our existing businesses. We would expect to fund these opportunities by cash on hand, external financing (including debt), equity or some combination thereof.

Nuclear Operations Segment

The revenues of our Nuclear Operations segment are largely a function of defense spending by the U.S. Government. As a supplier of major nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs, this segment is a significant participant in the defense industry.

On June 13, 2014, a uranium conversion company filed suit against the Secretary of Energy seeking, among other things, to enjoin the DOE from transferring portions of its excess uranium stockpile to support non-proliferation and other national security initiatives, as well as fund environmental clean-up work and other initiatives. On July 29, 2014, a motion for preliminary injunction was denied. However, the suit may still be successful in preventing the DOE’s transfer of excess uranium, which could adversely impact results in our Nuclear Operations and Technical Services segments.

Technical Services Segment

The revenues and equity in income of investees of our Technical Services segment are largely a function of spending by the U.S. Government and the performance scores we and our consortium partners earn in managing and operating high-consequence operations at U.S. nuclear weapons sites and national laboratories. With its specialized capabilities of full life-cycle management of special nuclear materials, facilities and technologies, our Technical Services segment participates in the cleanup, operation and management of the nuclear sites and weapons complexes maintained by the DOE.

Nuclear Energy Segment

Our Nuclear Energy segment’s overall activity primarily depends on the demand and competitiveness of nuclear energy. A significant portion of our Nuclear Energy segment’s operations depend on the timing of maintenance outages primarily in the Canadian market and the cyclical nature of capital expenditures and major refurbishments for nuclear utility customers, which could cause variability in our financial results.

Power Generation Spin-off

On June 30, 2015, we completed the spin-off of our former Power Generation business (the “spin-off”) into an independent, publicly traded company named Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“BWE”). The separation was effected through a pro rata distribution of 100% of BWE’s common stock to BWXT’s stockholders. The distribution

 

29


Table of Contents

consisted of one share of BWE common stock for every two shares of BWXT common stock to holders of BWXT common stock on the record date of June 18, 2015. Cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares of BWE common stock. BWXT did not retain any ownership interest in BWE following the spin-off.

Prior to June 30, 2015, we completed an internal restructuring that separated the subsidiaries involved in our former Power Generation business and established BWE as the direct or indirect parent company of all those subsidiaries. Concurrent with the spin-off, The Babcock & Wilcox Company changed its name to BWX Technologies, Inc. Total costs associated with the spin-off, consisting primarily of professional services, retention and severance-related charges and facilities and infrastructure changes, approximated $66.5 million, of which $55.3 million and $60.4 million were recognized in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $6.1 million was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2014.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, reflect the historical operations of our former Power Generation business as discontinued operations. See Note 2 for further information regarding the spin-off of BWE. The discussions in this quarterly report are presented on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

Special Charges for Restructuring Activities

In 2014, we began certain initiatives aimed at driving margin improvement in our Nuclear Energy segment. The cost savings from these initiatives are expected to make our product and service offerings more cost-competitive through both direct and overhead cost reductions, allowing us to more aggressively pursue new business opportunities and other initiatives to increase stockholder value. We incurred $0.7 million and $2.8 million of costs associated with these initiatives for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred $15.9 million and $7.9 million of costs associated with the restructuring of our mPower program. The 2015 amount relates to asset impairments as a result of the significant adverse changes in the business prospects of the mPower program. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred $0.4 million of costs associated with the restructuring of our Technical Services segment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, see Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2014 10-K. There have been no material changes to our policies during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Accounting for Contracts

As of June 30, 2015, in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, we have provided for our estimated costs to complete all of our ongoing contracts. However, it is possible that current estimates could change due to unforeseen events, which could result in adjustments to overall contract costs. A principal risk on fixed-priced contracts is that revenue from the customer is insufficient to cover increases in our costs. It is possible that current estimates could materially change for various reasons, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in forecasted labor productivity or steel and other raw material prices. In some instances, we guarantee completion dates related to our projects or provide performance guarantees. Increases in costs on our fixed-price contracts could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Alternatively, reductions in overall contract costs at completion could materially improve our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized net changes in estimates related to long-term contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completion basis, which increased operating income by approximately $5.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2015 vs. 2014

Consolidated revenues decreased 1.5%, or $5.4 million, to $357.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $362.5 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The Nuclear Energy segment experienced a $0.5 million increase in revenues offset by decreased revenues in our Nuclear Operations and Technical Services segments totaling $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Consolidated operating income decreased $15.9 million to $11.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $27.5 million for the corresponding period of 2014. Operating income in our Nuclear Operations, Nuclear Energy and Other segments increased $2.5 million, $0.8 million and $27.4 million, respectively. These increases were offset by decreased operating income in our Technical Services and unallocated corporate segments totaling $9.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively. We also incurred increased special charges for restructuring activities totaling $6.5 million, costs to spin-off the Power Generation business totaling $24.5 million, and recorded a Mark to Market Adjustment totaling $2.2 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 vs. 2014

Consolidated revenues decreased 3.5%, or $25.3 million, to $692.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $717.9 million for the corresponding period in 2014 due primarily to decreases in revenues from our Nuclear Operations, Technical Services and Nuclear Energy segments totaling $3.5 million, $10.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively.

Consolidated operating income decreased $6.7 million to $65.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $72.1 million for the corresponding period of 2014. Operating income in our Nuclear Operations and Other segments increased $10.9 million and $49.0 million, respectively. These increases were offset by decreased operating income in our Technical Services, Nuclear Energy and unallocated corporate segments totaling $22.7 million, $3.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively. We also incurred increased special charges for restructuring activities totaling $5.5 million, costs to spin-off the Power Generation business totaling $26.0 million, and recorded a Mark to Market Adjustment totaling $2.2 million.

Revenues increased 1.2%, or $0.5 million, to $45.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $44.9 million in the corresponding period of 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to a $6.6 million increase in our nuclear services business attributable to outage work in both Canada and the United States. This increase was partially offset by lower volume in our nuclear equipment business when compared to the corresponding 2014 period.

Operating income increased $0.8 million to $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.5 million in the corresponding period of 2014, primarily attributable to improved operating performance in our nuclear services business.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 vs. 2014

Revenues decreased 15.4%, or $14.3 million, to $78.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $92.7 million in the corresponding period of 2014. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower volume in our nuclear equipment business associated with steam generator manufacturing as well as the completion of a large engineering services contract that was ongoing in the same period of the prior year. The disposal of our Nuclear Projects business in the second quarter of 2014 also contributed to a decline in revenue of $8.6 million.

Operating income decreased $3.4 million to a loss of $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $2.1 million in the corresponding period of 2014, primarily attributable to the decrease in nuclear equipment revenues noted above.

Operating income increased $27.4 million to a loss of $4.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a loss of $31.9 million in the corresponding period of 2014, due to the slowing pace of development related to our previously announced plans to restructure the mPower program. Research and development activities decreased $25.8 million, which was partially offset by a $2.8 million decline in reimbursements from the DOE under its Small Modular Reactor Licensing Technical Support Program related to the development of the mPower™ reactor design. At this time, the latest extension to the Cooperative Agreement has expired and the DOE funding has been suspended. Selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased by $4.2 million compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the restructuring of our mPower program to focus on technology development.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 vs. 2014

Operating income increased $49.0 million to a loss of $9.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a loss of $58.6 million in the corresponding period of 2014, due to the slowing pace of development related to our previously announced plans to restructure the mPower program. Research and development activities decreased $58.6 million, which was partially offset by a $19.8 million decline in reimbursements from the DOE under its Small Modular Reactor Licensing Technical Support Program related to the development of the mPower™ reactor design. At this time, the latest extension to the Cooperative Agreement has expired and the DOE funding has been suspended. Selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased by $9.6 million compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the restructuring of our mPower program to focus on technology development.

Unallocated Corporate

Unallocated corporate expenses increased $3.9 million to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $6.0 million for the corresponding period in 2014, mainly related to favorable healthcare costs experienced in the prior year period. Unallocated corporate expenses increased $6.9 million to $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $8.3 million for the corresponding period in 2014, mainly related to favorable healthcare costs experienced in the prior year period.

Unallocated corporate expenses through June 30, 2015 include certain expenses that were incurred to manage and provide corporate support of a larger consolidated group prior to the spin-off of the Power Generation business. General corporate overhead expenses that are not specifically identifiable with the Power Generation business are reflected as part of continuing operations for the historical financial statements. We expect unallocated corporate expense to be approximately $15 to $20 million on an annual basis subsequent to the spin-off of the Power Generation business.

Special Charges for Restructuring Activities

Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included special charges for restructuring activities totaling $16.5 million and $16.6 million, respectively, primarily related to asset impairments recognized as a result of the significant adverse change in the business prospects of the mPower program.

Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included special charges for restructuring activities totaling $10.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively, primarily related to termination benefits, consulting costs and facility costs related to our mPower restructuring and Nuclear Energy margin improvement initiatives.

Effective Tax Rate

     104.7     29.2       42.9     23.3  

We primarily operate in the United States and Canada. Beginning in the second quarter of 2015, we began recognizing our consolidated income tax provision based on the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the presumed repatriation of our Canadian earnings.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately 104.7% as compared to 29.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 largely due to the impact of the spin-off of our Power Generation business. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately 42.9% as compared to 23.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Specifically, the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were higher than our statutory rate primarily due to the change in our tax footprint associated with the spin-off, resulting in the revaluations of deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as the need to recognize tax provision on our global earnings at our U.S. federal rate due to the likely repatriation of future foreign earnings. These matters resulted in $3.8 million of tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were lower than our statutory rate due to the impact of an increase in benefits from amended federal manufacturing deductions, and the receipt of a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that retroactively reduced the U.S. tax owed on income from certain of our foreign joint ventures.

Backlog

Backlog is not a measure recognized by generally accepted accounting principles. It is possible that our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies. We generally include expected revenue in our backlog when we receive written confirmation from our customers authorizing the performance of work and committing the customer to payment for work performed. We are subject to the budgetary and appropriation cycle of the U.S. Government as it relates to our Nuclear Operations and Technical Services segments. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by customers. We do not include orders of our unconsolidated joint ventures in backlog. These unconsolidated joint ventures are primarily included in our Technical Services segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Credit Facility

On May 11, 2015, BWXT entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and letter of credit issuers, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $400 million, the full amount of which is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, $300 million of which was drawn upon closing on June 30, 2015. The remaining commitment for the term loan expires on December 31, 2015. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature on the fifth anniversary of its closing date. The proceeds of loans under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all indebtedness under BWXT’s former secured credit facility, and remaining amounts are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement includes provisions for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its commitment thereunder, subject to an aggregate maximum of $250 million for all incremental term loan, revolving credit borrowings and letter of credit commitments.

The Credit Agreement is (i) guaranteed by substantially all of BWXT’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, excluding BWXT’s captive insurance subsidiary, and (ii) secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by BWXT and the guarantors (other than the BWXT’s subsidiaries comprising its Nuclear Operations and Technical Services segments).

The Credit Agreement requires interest payments on revolving loans on a periodic basis until maturity. BWXT is also required to make quarterly amortization payments on the term loan portion of the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the term loan facility that is utilized. BWXT may prepay all loans under the Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to notice requirements.

Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at BWXT’s option at either the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% per year or the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% per year. Starting on the closing date of the Credit Agreement, we are charged a commitment fee on the unused portions of the revolving credit facility and term loan facility, and that fee varies between 0.150% and 0.250% per year. Additionally, we are charged a letter of credit fee of between 1.25% and 1.75% per year with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit issued under the Credit Agreement and a letter of credit fee of between 0.75% and 1.05% per year is charged with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit issued under the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin for loans, the commitment fee and the letter of credit fees set forth above will vary quarterly based on the BWXT’s leverage ratio. Upon the closing of the Credit Agreement, BWXT paid certain upfront fees to the lenders thereunder, and paid arrangement and other fees to the arrangers and agents of the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2015, borrowings outstanding totaled $300.0 million and $30.0 million under our term loan and revolving line of credit, respectively, and letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement totaled $71.7 million, resulting in $498.3 million available for borrowings or to meet letter of credit requirements.

Based on the current credit ratings of the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency rate loans is 1.375%, the applicable margin for base rate loans is 0.375%, the letter of credit fee for financial letters of credit is 1.375%, the letter of credit fee for performance letters of credit is 0.825%, and the commitment fee for unused portions of the Credit Agreement is 0.175%. The Credit Agreement does not have a floor for the base rate or the Eurocurrency rate. As of June 30, 2015, the interest rate on borrowings under our Credit Agreement was 1.56%.

The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that will be tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted leverage ratio is 3.00 to 1.00, which ratio may be increased to 3.25 to 1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters after a material acquisition. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio is 4.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including with respect to debt, liens, investments, mergers, acquisitions, dividends, equity repurchases and asset sales.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement generally includes customary events of default for a secured credit facility. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events with respect to BWXT occurs under the Credit Agreement, all obligations under the Credit Agreement will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be permitted to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement. If any event of default occurs under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be permitted to terminate their commitments thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies, including the commencement of foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

If any default occurs under the Credit Agreement, or if BWXT is unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement, BWXT will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.

Long-term Benefit Obligations

Our unfunded pension and postretirement benefit obligations totaled $333.4 million at June 30, 2015. These long-term liabilities are expected to require use of our resources to satisfy future funding obligations. We expect to make contributions to these plans totaling $9.2 million for the remainder of 2015 primarily related to our foreign pension plans and postretirement plans.

Other

Our domestic and foreign cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

We expect cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement to be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months.

Our working capital decreased by approximately $65.5 million to $283.3 million at June 30, 2015 from $348.8 million at December 31, 2014, attributable primarily to timing of accounts payable and accrued employee benefit payments.

Our net cash provided by operations was $83.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to cash used in operations of $107.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase in cash provided by operations was largely attributable to improved project cash flows and working capital in relation to the prior year period.

Our net cash used in investing activities decreased by $114.5 million to $43.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 from cash used in investing activities of $157.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The higher cash used in investing activities in 2014 was primarily attributable to the prior year acquisition of MEGTEC associated with our former Power Generation business.

Our net cash used in financing activities was $301.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $139.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to cash divested in connection with the spin-off of our former Power Generation business. In addition, we borrowed less from our credit facility and repurchased fewer common shares during the 2015 period as compared to the prior year period.

At June 30, 2015, we had restricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $18.0 million, $2.5 million of which was held for future decommissioning of facilities (which we include in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets) and $15.5 million of which was held to meet reinsurance reserve requirements of our captive insurer.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2015, we had investments with a fair value of $11.8 million. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of investments in corporate bonds, equities and highly liquid money market instruments. Our investments are carried at fair value and are either classified as trading, with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings, or as available-for-sale, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposures to market risks have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7A included in Part II of our 2014 10-K.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Our disclosure controls and procedures were developed through a process in which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based on the evaluation referred to above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2015 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The May 2013 and February 2014 authorizations are in addition to the initial $250 million share repurchase amount authorized in November 2012. On December 9, 2013, we completed the repurchase of shares using our initial $250 million authorization. We may repurchase shares in the open market using the additional repurchase amounts authorized in May 2013 and February 2014 during a two-year period that expires February 25, 2016.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Before the spin-off was completed on June 30, 2015, we owned, managed and operated Ebensburg Power Company, an independent power company that produces alternative electrical energy. Through one of our former subsidiaries, Revloc Reclamation Service, Inc., Ebensburg Power Company operates multiple coal refuse sites in Western Pennsylvania (collectively, the “Revloc Sites”). At the Revloc Sites, Ebensburg Power Company utilizes coal refuse from abandoned surface mine lands to produce energy. Beyond converting the coal refuse to energy, Ebensburg Power Company is also taking steps to reclaim the former surface mine lands to make the land and streams more attractive for wildlife and human uses.

The Revloc Sites are subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. Information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and this Item is included in Exhibit 95 to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

(ii) Tax Attributes other than those allocated under Section 7(a)(i) with respect to consolidated, combined or unitary state, local or foreign Income Tax, in each case, arising in respect of a Combined Return shall be apportioned by the Filing Party to the Non-Filing Party or any other member of the Non-filing Party’s Group, to the extent required under applicable law.

(iii) The amount of earnings and profits to be apportioned to Spinco or any other member of the Spinco Group shall be determined in accordance with applicable law.

(iv) Except as otherwise required by a Final Determination, no member of the Non-filing Party’s Group shall take any position (whether on a Tax Return or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the apportionment by the Filing Party in Section 7(a).

(b) Carrybacks. Except to the extent otherwise consented to by the Filing Party or prohibited by applicable law, the Non-filing Party and each other member of its Group shall elect to relinquish, waive or otherwise forgo all Carrybacks. In the event that the Non-filing Party (or the appropriate other member of its Group) is prohibited by applicable law from relinquishing, waiving or otherwise forgoing a Carryback (or the Filing Party consents to a Carryback), (i) the Filing Party shall cooperate with the Non-filing Party, at the Non-filing Party’s expense, in seeking from the appropriate Tax Authority such Refund as reasonably would result from such Carryback, and (ii) the Non-filing Party shall be entitled to any Income Tax Benefit Actually Realized by a member of the Filing Party’s Group (including any interest thereon received from such Tax Authority), to the extent that such Refund is directly attributable to such Carryback, within 15 Business Days after such Refund is Actually Realized; provided, however, that the Non-filing Party shall indemnify and hold the members of the Filing Party’s Group harmless from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such Carryback, including (but not limited to) the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by a member of the Filing Party’s Group or an Affiliate thereof if (x) such Tax Attributes expire unutilized, but would have been utilized but for such Carryback, or (y) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later taxable period than the taxable period in which such Tax Attributes would have been utilized but for such Carryback.

8. Cooperation and Exchange of Information.

(a) Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Each of Remainco and Spinco, on behalf of itself and each other member of the Remainco Group and the Spinco Group, respectively, agrees to provide the other Party (or its designee) with such cooperation or information as such other party (or its designee) reasonably shall request in connection with the determination of any payment or any calculations described in this Agreement, the preparation or filing of any Income Tax Return or Other Tax Return or claim for Refund, or the conduct of any Proceeding. Such cooperation and information shall include, upon reasonable notice, (i) promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices and forms or other communications (including information document requests, revenue agent’s reports and similar reports, notices of proposed adjustments and notices of deficiency) received from or sent to any Tax Authority or any other administrative, judicial or governmental authority, (ii) providing copies of all relevant Income Tax Returns or Other Tax Returns, together with accompanying schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by any Tax Authority, and such other records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, or other relevant information, (iii) the provision of such additional information and explanations of documents and information provided under this Agreement (including statements, certificates, forms, returns and schedules delivered by either party) as shall be reasonably requested by Remainco (or its designee) or Spinco (or its designee), as the case may be, (iv) the execution of any document that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with the filing of an Income Tax Return or Other Tax Return, a claim for a Refund, or in connection with any Proceeding, including such waivers, consents or powers of attorney as may be necessary for Remainco or Spinco, as the case may be, to exercise its rights under this Agreement, and (v) the use of Remainco’s or Spinco’s, as the case may be, reasonable efforts to obtain any documentation from a governmental authority or a Third Party that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any of the foregoing. It is expressly the intention of the parties to this Agreement to take all actions that shall be necessary to establish the Filing Party as the sole agent for Income Tax or Other Tax purposes of each member of the Non-filing Party’s Group with respect to all Combined Returns. Upon reasonable notice, each of Remainco and Spinco shall make its, or shall cause the other members of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group, as applicable, to make their, employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder. Any information obtained under this Section 8 shall be kept confidential, except as otherwise reasonably may be necessary in connection with the filing of Income Tax Returns or Other Tax Returns or claims for Refund or in conducting any Proceeding.

 

27


(b) Retention of Records. Each of Remainco and Spinco agrees to retain all Income Tax Returns and Other Tax Returns, related schedules and workpapers, and all material records and other documents as required under Section 6001 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) existing on the date hereof or created in respect of (i) any Pre-Distribution Taxable Period or (ii) any taxable period that may be subject to a claim hereunder, in each case, until the later of (A) the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) for the taxable periods to which such Income Tax Returns, Other Tax Returns and other documents relate and (B) the Final Determination of any payments that may be required in respect of such taxable periods under this Agreement.

9. Resolution of Disputes. Remainco and Spinco shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreement arising with respect to this Agreement, including any dispute in connection with a claim by a Third Party (a “Tax Dispute”). Any party to this Agreement may give any other Party hereto written notice of any Tax Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. If the Parties cannot agree by the tenth Business Day following the date on which one Party gives such notice, then the Parties shall promptly retain the services of a nationally recognized law or accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Parties (the “Tax Dispute Arbitrator”). The Tax Dispute Arbitrator shall be instructed to resolve the Tax Dispute, and such resolution shall be (a) set forth in writing and signed by the Tax Dispute Arbitrator, (b) delivered to each Party involved in the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable after the Tax Dispute is submitted to the Tax Dispute Arbitrator, but no later than the fifteenth Business Day after the Tax Dispute Arbitrator is instructed to resolve the dispute, (c) made in accordance with this Agreement, and (d) final, binding and conclusive on the Parties involved in the Tax Dispute on the date of delivery of such resolution. The Tax Dispute Arbitrator shall be authorized on any one issue to decide in favor of and choose the position of either of the Parties involved in the Tax Dispute or to decide upon a compromise position within the range between the positions presented by the Parties to the Tax Dispute Arbitrator. The fees and expenses of the Tax Dispute Arbitrator shall be borne 50% by Remainco and 50% by Spinco.

10. Payments.

(a) Method of Payment. All payments required by this Agreement shall be made by (i) wire transfer to the appropriate bank account as may from time to time be designated by the respective Parties for such purpose; provided, however, that, on the date of such wire transfer, notice of the transfer is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with Section 11, or (ii) any other method agreed to by the Parties. All payments due under this Agreement shall be deemed to be paid when available funds are actually received by the payee.

 

28


(b) Interest. Any payment required by this Agreement that is not made on or before the date required hereunder shall bear interest, from and after such date through the date of payment, at the Underpayment Rate.

(c) Characterization of Payments. For all tax purposes, the parties hereto agree to treat, and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat any payment required by this Agreement as either a contribution by Remainco to Spinco or a distribution by Spinco to Remainco, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Spin-Off, except as otherwise mandated by applicable law or a Final Determination; provided, however, that in the event it is determined (i) pursuant to applicable law, or (ii) pursuant to a Final Determination, that any such treatment is not permissible (or that an Indemnified Party nevertheless suffers an Income Tax or Other Tax detriment as a result of such payment), the payment in question shall be adjusted to place the Indemnified Party in the same after-tax position it would have enjoyed absent such applicable law or Final Determination.

11. Notices. Notices, requests, permissions, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon (a) a transmitter’s confirmation of a receipt of a facsimile transmission (but only if followed by confirmed delivery of a standard overnight courier the following Business Day or if delivered by hand the following Business Day), or (b) confirmed delivery of a standard overnight courier or delivered by hand, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other addresses for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

12. Designation of Affiliate. Each of Remainco and Spinco may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any member of the Remainco Group or the Spinco Group, respectively, as it shall designate; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Remainco or Spinco, respectively, of any obligation hereunder, including any obligation to make a payment hereunder to Spinco or Remainco, respectively, to the extent such designee fails to make such payment.

 

29

Appendix A

Tax Allocation Principles and Methods

 

I. Original Combined Returns (See generally Ex. 1)

 

  A. Net income/loss before § 199 deduction and NOLs:

 

  (a) items of income, deduction, loss, capital cost or liability definitely attributable to one Group: allocate to Group and Spinco Group according to actual items attributable to Remainco Group members and Spinco Group members.

 

  (b) items of income, deduction, loss, capital cost or liability not directly attributable to one Group: allocate 50/50 to each group.

 

  (c) interest and penalties: if attributable to a tax, allocate with the tax; if attributable to a filing obligation, allocate to party with the filing obligation

 

  B. § 199 deduction: allocate to Remainco Group and Spinco Group in proportion to their relative QPAI

 

  C. Consolidated NOLs (current-year or c/f): allocated to offset each Group’s taxable income without regard to which Group generated; no compensation by one Group for use of other Group’s NOLs (See Ex’s 6 & 7)

 

  D. Tax before Credits: allocate in proportion to relative taxable income of each Group computed in accordance with A, B and C. If one Group has net loss, all tax allocated to other Group; loss Group is not entitled to compensation for use of its loss. (See Ex. 6)

 

  E. Foreign Tax Credits: allocate in proportion to the FTCs actually generated by each Group for the year. If a Group has a net loss, all FTC allocated to other Group.

 

  F. R&D Credits: allocate in proportion to the QREs actually generated by each Group for the year. If a Group has a net loss, all R&D credit allocated to other Group.

 

  G. Refunds: allocate in accordance with computation of each Group’s allocated tax (calculated under A through F) and estimated taxes paid/deemed paid by each Group.

 

II. Carryforwards from Combined Return Tax Years

 

  A. NOLs: allocate according computation of relative taxable income/loss under I.A. and B.

 

  B. Credits: allocate according to computations under I.E. and F., above. (See Ex. 1)

 

33


III. Post-original Filing/Post-spin-off Adjustments (Amended Returns and/or Audits)

 

  A. Increases in Tax - Combined Returns

 

  (a) attributable to adjustments to only one Group: allocate entirely to Group with adjustments (See Ex. 2)

 

  (b) attributable to net positive adjustments to both Groups: allocate in proportion to the adjustments to each Group (See Ex’s. 3 & 5)

 

  (c) attributable to net positive adjustments to one Group and net negative adjustments to other Group: allocate entirely to Group with net positive adjustments; Group with net positive adjustments must also compensate other Group for use of its negative adjustments (consistent with III.B.)

 

  B. Increase in Taxable Income of one Group in Combined Returns offset by Tax Benefits ( e.g. , NOLs) allocable to other Group: Group using tax benefits must compensate other Group for loss of tax benefits at time that other Group would have been able to utilize the benefits to reduce taxes on a separate return (see Ex’s 8 & 9) or receive a refund (see Ex. 10).

 

  C. Decreases in Tax (Refunds) in Combined Returns:

 

  (a) attributable to adjustments to only one Group: entire refund allocated to Group with adjustments (See Ex. 4).

 

  (b) attributable to net negative adjustments to both Groups: refund allocated in proportion to adjustments to each Group.

 

  (c) attributable to net negative adjustments to one Group and net positive adjustments to other Group: entire refund to Group with net negative adjustments; Group with net positive adjustments must pay the difference in refund that negative-adjustment Group would have received but for net positive adjustments to other Group.

 

  D. Items in Combined Returns not attributable:

 

  (a) items of income, deduction, loss, capital cost, liability, or benefit not directly attributable to one Group is shared equally among the parties.

 

  E. Adjustments for Tax Benefits/Detriments

 

  (a) Tax benefits from increases in tax payable: compensation for increase in tax payable is accompanied by obligation of compensated party to pay to compensating party any correlative tax benefit from the tax increase; if related adjustments to separate returns result in Tax payable by one Group and Tax Benefit to other Group, Group realizing Tax Benefit must pay to other Group an amount of benefit not exceeding the amount of such Group’s increase in Tax payable. If realization of tax benefit is deferred, payment only as actually realized (unless otherwise agreed by parties). (See Ex’s 9 & 11)

 

  (b) Tax detriments from refunds: payment by one Group of an amount of a tax refund allocable to the other Group is net of any correlative tax payable by the Group that received the refund.

Example 1 – Original combined tax liability allocated between members based on relative contribution

PGG and BWXT participate in a federal combined filing for a tax period that begins prior to the distribution date. The group reports $300m of net consolidated taxable income before the §199 deduction, a §199 deduction of $27m (i.e., TI limited for the year), foreign tax credits of $3m, R&D credits of $5m, and a net tax liability of $87.55m ({$300m - $27m * 35%} - $3m - $5m).

The $300m of net consolidated taxable income before the §199 deduction is composed of (i) $230m of net taxable income attributable to members of the BWXT group and (ii) $70m of net taxable income attributable to members of the PGG group. The §199 deduction of $27m is limited to TI, but is related to QPAI of $400m, composed of (i) $240m of QPAI attributable to members of the BWXT group and (ii) $160m of QPAI attributable to members of the PGG group. The $3m of foreign tax credits utilized in the current year is associated with $8.6m of foreign source income generated in the current year. The foreign tax credits generated in the current year is composed of (i) $2m of foreign tax credits generated by members of the BWXT group and (ii) $4m of foreign tax credits generated by members of the PGG group. The components of foreign source income is irrelevant since this attribute does not drive the allocation, the tax generation does. The $5m of R&D credits utilized in the current year is computed based on QRE’s generated in the current year of $100m, composed of (i) $60m of QRE’s attributable to members of the BWXT group and (ii) $40m of QRE’s attributable to members of the PGG group.

Pursuant to Appendix A, Section I, the $87.55m of net tax liability is allocated (i) $70.83m to BWXT and (ii) $16.72m to PGG. A schedule is presented below to summarize the net tax liability computations for each party.

It should be further noted that the excess FTC’s generated in the CY by the consolidated group and not utilized within the consolidated tax return should also be attributable to the members based on their relative contribution. Pursuant to Appendix A, Section II.B, the $3m of foreign tax credits carried forward into the subsequent tax periods ($6m generated - $3m utilized) is comprised of (i) $1m attributable to the BWXT group ($2m/$6m * $3m) and (ii) $2m attributable to the PGG group ($4m/$6m * $3m).

Example 2 – Incremental tax expense allocated to member who gave rise to the adjustment

Same facts as example 1, except an audit adjustment is made in a future year to decrease PGG’s associated QRE’s. This audit adjustment decreases the generation and utilization of the combined groups R&D credit by $150,000. Due to BWXT being the taxpayer of the combined filing, BWXT will be required to pay the taxing jurisdiction for the increase in tax. However, pursuant to Appendix A Section III.A.(a),., PGG will be required to compensate BWXT for the applicable tax payment since the audit adjustment was solely related to the PGG group.

Example 3 – Incremental tax expense allocated to each member based on relative weight

Same facts as example 1, except an audit adjustment is made in the future to decrease the QRE’s attributable to PGG by $1m and the QRE’s attributable to BWXT by $2m. This audit adjustment decreases the generation and utilization of the combined group’s R&D credit by $300,000. Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.A.(b) PGG will be liable for $100,000 ($1m/$3m * $300,000) and BWXT will be liable for $200,000 ($2m/$3m * $300,000) of the associated additional tax.

Example 4 – Incremental net tax benefit allocated to member who gave rise to the adjustment

Same facts as example 1, but subsequent to the distribution year, BWXT files an amended return claiming $25m of additional deductions to its separate company taxable income. The recognition of these additional deductions does not change the company’s §199 computation from the TI limitation described in IRC §199(a). Therefore, due to the combined group’s §199 deduction being subject to the taxable income limitation, this decrease to BWXT’s separate company taxable income also decreases the combined group’s §199 deduction by $2.25m ($25m * 9%). The IRS audits the amended filing and concludes that BWXT is due a refund of $7.96m ($25m-$2.25m * 35%). Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.C.(a), BWXT is entitled to the net refund of $7.96m and is not entitled to receive compensation from PGG for the correlative decrease in the combined group’s §199 deduction.

Example 5 – Incremental net tax expense allocated to each member based on relative weight

Same facts as example 1, but subsequent to the distribution year, the IRS audits the combined return and determines that BWXT underreported income by $20m and PGG underreported income by $10m. The recognition of this additional income does not change the company’s §199 computation from the TI limitation described in IRC §199(a). Therefore, due to the combined group’s §199 deduction being subject to the taxable income limitation, this increase to the combined group’s taxable income also increases the combined group’s §199 deduction by $2.7m ($30m * 9%). The final net audit adjustments results in a net tax due of $9.55m ($30m-$2.7m * 35%). Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.A.(b), BWXT is liable for $6.37m of the $9.55m ($20m/$30m * $9.55m) and PGG is liable for $3.18m of the $9.55m ($10m/$30m * $9.55m).

Example 6 - Original combined tax liability allocated between members based on relative contribution, but no compensation/indemnity for tax benefit utilized within original combined return

PGG and BWXT participate in a federal combined filing for a tax period that begins prior to the distribution date. The group reports $200m of net consolidated taxable income, no credits, and a tax liability of $70m ($200m * 35%). The $300m of net consolidated taxable income is composed of (i) $300m of net taxable

 

36


income attributable to members of the BWXT group and (ii) a $100m net operating loss is attributable to members of the PGG group. Pursuant to Appendix A Section I.C, the $70m of tax liability is attributable entirely to the BWXT group and BWXT is not required to compensate PGG for the utilization of the $100m net operating loss.

Example 7 – No compensation/indemnity for tax benefit utilized within original combined return (State NOL Carry-forwards)

PGG and BWXT participate in a combined state filing for a tax period that begins prior to the distribution date. The combined filing utilizes a NOL generated and carried forward into the tax filing by the PGG group. Pursuant to Appendix A Section I.C. the utilization of this NOL C/F that is applied to and against any liability allocated to the BWXT group is not considered a tax benefit for which BWXT must compensate PGG.

Example 8 – Potential compensation/indemnity for tax benefit utilized subsequent to original combined filing (State NOL Carry-forwards)

Same facts as example 7, except an audit adjustment is made in a future year to increase BWXT’s applicable tax liability for the combined year. This increase to BWXT’s applicable tax liability increases the utilization of the NOL C/F and therefore decreases the NOL C/F available to the PGG group post-distribution. Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.B., this decrease to the PGG groups deferred tax asset is a tax benefit for which BWXT must compensate PGG when and if a resulting economic loss is realized by PGG.

Example 9 – Compensation/indemnity paid when economic benefit or detriment realized or incurred (State NOL Carry-forwards)

In addition to the facts detailed out within examples 7 & 8 PGG filed an original return in the tax year subsequent to the distribution date utilizing the remaining NOL carried forward from the distribution tax year. Due to the audit adjustment against BWXT’s tax liability described in example 8, PGG must file an amended return reflecting this decrease in the available NOL carried forward into and utilized within the post-distribution tax filing. PGG is required to pay the taxing jurisdiction an additional $100,000 due to the loss of available NOL C/F from the pre-distribution tax filing. Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.B, BWXT is required to compensate PGG within 30 days of PGG making the associated payment to the taxing jurisdiction. However, pursuant to Appendix A Section IV.A., BWXT is only required to compensate PGG $65,000 ($100,000 * 65%) for the net economic impact (i.e., net of federal benefit).

Example 10 – Compensation/indemnity paid when economic benefit or detriment realized or incurred (loss of refund)

PGG and BWXT participate in a combined tax return for a pre-distribution tax period, and each pays its allocable share of the tax shown as due thereon. After the distribution, audit adjustments are made that increase the taxable income allocable to BWXT and decreases the taxable income allocable to PGG. The PGG decreases offset the BWXT increases. Without the BWXT increases, PGG would have been entitled to receive a refund. (See Appendix A Section III.C.(a) and Ex. 4 above.) Pursuant to Appendix A Section III.B., BWXT must compensate PGG for the loss of its refund.

 

37


Example 11 – Compensation/indemnity paid when economic benefit or detriment realized or incurred (tax benefits received by one party from increases in tax payable of the other party)

PGG and BWXT participate in a federal combined filing for a tax period that begins prior to the distribution date. As part of this filing, BWXT transfers IP to PGG in a taxable transaction valued at $10m. Subsequent to the distribution year, the IRS audits the combined return and determines the value of the IP to be $30m. Pursuant to Section Appendix A, Section III.A.(d), the adjustment is attributable to BWXT and therefore BWXT would be responsible for the additional tax of $7m ($30m-$10m * 35%). However, this increase to the IP valuation also increases the amortizable basis of the IP in the hands of PGG, for which PGG will receive future deductions or benefits (i.e., in the form of amortization). Pursuant to Appendix A, Section IV.A., PGG must provide compensation to BWXT when these future benefits are actually realized. Since the realization of the tax benefits by PGG will occur over a 15 year period (i.e., the IRS amortization period), the two parties may wish to agree on a settlement amount at the time of the IRS audit adjustment to eliminate the need for multiple indemnity payments over a significant time period.

This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (together with the Schedules hereto, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 8, 2015, by and between The Babcock & Wilcox Company, a Delaware corporation (“RemainCo”), and Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SpinCo”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of RemainCo has determined that it would be appropriate and desirable for RemainCo to distribute (the “Distribution”) on a pro rata basis to the holders of outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of RemainCo all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SpinCo owned by RemainCo;

Section 2.2 Service Coordinators . Each party will nominate in writing a representative to act as the primary contact with respect to the provision of the Services and the resolution of disputes under this Agreement (each such person, a “Service Coordinator”). The initial Service Coordinators shall be David S. Black (for RemainCo) and Jude T. Broussard (for SpinCo) (or their designated delegates) for each of RemainCo and SpinCo, respectively. The Service Coordinators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute hereunder; and any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within 45 days shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article V of the Master Separation Agreement. Each party hereto may treat an act of a Service Coordinator of the other party hereto which is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement as being authorized by such other party without inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such Service Coordinator had authority to so act; provided , however , that no such Service Coordinator shall have authority to amend this Agreement. RemainCo and SpinCo shall advise each other promptly (in any case no more than three Business Days) in writing of any change in their respective Service Coordinators, setting forth the name of the replacement, and stating that the replacement Service Coordinator is authorized to act for such party in accordance with this Section 2.2.

Section 2.3 Additional Services . SpinCo may request additional Services (the “Additional Services”) from RemainCo by providing written notice. Upon the mutual written agreement as to the nature, cost, duration and scope of such Additional Services, RemainCo and SpinCo shall supplement in writing the Schedules hereto to include such Additional Services. Subject to the other limitations in this Agreement, including the provisions in Section 2.6, but notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, in addition to providing the Services specified in the Schedules, RemainCo, acting directly and/or through its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, contractors or independent third parties designated by any of them, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or to cause to be provided additional, de minimis administrative support services to the SpinCo Group as may be requested by any member of the SpinCo Group from time to time, at no cost beyond the amounts set forth in the Schedules (as the amounts set forth in the Schedules contemplate such additional, de minimis administrative support services); provided, however, that, for any such additional services to be considered de minimis for purposes of this sentence, such additional services shall not require the attention of (i) any one employee of any member of the RemainCo Group for more than 2 hours in any single calendar month or (ii) any group of employees of any one or more members of the RemainCo Group for more than 30 hours in any single calendar month. Except where the context otherwise indicates or requires, any such additional services referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be “Services” under this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Third Party Services . RemainCo shall have the right to hire third-party subcontractors to provide all or part of any Service hereunder, except as specifically prohibited by the Schedule defining such Service; provided, that RemainCo shall consult in good faith with

 

- 3 -


SpinCo regarding the proposed hiring of any third-party subcontractor that has not previously been involved in the activities relating to such Service prior to the date hereof; provided, further, that, in the event such subcontracting is inconsistent with the practice applied by RemainCo generally from time to time within its own organization, RemainCo shall give notice to SpinCo of its intent to subcontract any portion of the Services and SpinCo shall have 20 days (or such lesser period set forth in the notice as may be practicable in the event of exigent circumstances) to determine, in its sole discretion, whether to permit such subcontracting or whether to cancel such Service in accordance with Article VI hereof. If SpinCo opts to cancel a Service pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it shall not be liable to RemainCo pursuant to Section 6.1 for any costs or expenses RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group remains obligated to pay to the third-party subcontractor identified in the notice provided by RemainCo as described above. RemainCo shall not be required to give notice of its intent to subcontract Services to any party listed on Exhibit 2.4 hereto, nor shall SpinCo have any right to cancel any Service subcontracted to any such listed party pursuant to this Section 2.4 (provided, that this sentence shall not prevent SpinCo from cancelling any Service pursuant to Section 6.1).

Section 2.5 Standard of Performance; Limitation of Liability .

(a) The Services to be provided hereunder shall be performed with the same general degree of care, at the same general level and at the same general degree of accuracy and responsiveness, as when performed within the RemainCo organization (including, for this purpose, SpinCo and the SpinCo Group) prior to the date of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that RemainCo and the members of the RemainCo Group are not professional providers of the types of services included in the Services and that RemainCo personnel performing Services have other responsibilities and will not be dedicated full-time to performing Services hereunder.

(b) In the event RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group fails to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services in accordance with the standard of service set forth in Section 2.5(a), the sole and exclusive remedy of SpinCo shall be, at SpinCo’s sole discretion, within 90 days from the date that RemainCo or such member of the RemainCo Group first fails to provide such Service, to not pay for such Service; provided that in the event RemainCo defaults in the manner described in clause (ii) of Section 7.1, SpinCo shall have the further rights set forth in Article VII.

(c) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 2.5, NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION), ARE MADE BY REMAINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE REMAINCO GROUP WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED AND DISCLAIMED. SPINCO (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP) HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SPINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP MAY OTHERWISE HAVE FOR ANY LOSSES, TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR TO PURSUE ANY OTHER

 

- 4 -


REMEDY AVAILABLE IN CONTRACT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT OF ANY NON-PERFORMANCE, INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE, FAULTY PERFORMANCE OR OTHER FAILURE OR BREACH BY REMAINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE REMAINCO GROUP UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OF REMAINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE REMAINCO GROUP OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER AND WHETHER DAMAGES ARE ASSERTED IN CONTRACT OR TORT, UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR NON U.S. LAWS OR OTHER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER SHALL NOT EXTEND TO COVER, AND REMAINCO SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, SUCH LOSSES CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF REMAINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE REMAINCO GROUP. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE REMAINCO GROUP BE LIABLE TO THE SPINCO GROUP WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR AMOUNTS IN THE AGGREGATE EXCEEDING THE AGGREGATE SERVICE CHARGES PAID HEREUNDER BY THE SPINCO GROUP.

Section 2.6 Service Boundaries and Scope . Except as provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, the Services shall be available only for purposes of conducting the business of the SpinCo Group substantially in the manner it was conducted immediately prior to the Distribution Date. Except as provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, in providing, or causing to be provided, the Services, RemainCo shall not be obligated to: (i) maintain the employment of any specific employee or hire additional employees or third-party service providers; (ii) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment (including computer equipment, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, machinery, vehicles, tools and other tangible personal property), software or other assets, rights or properties; (iii) make modifications to its existing systems or software; (iv) provide any member of the SpinCo Group with access to any systems or software other than those to which it has authorized access immediately prior to the Distribution Date; or (v) pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of data of any member of the SpinCo Group. SpinCo acknowledges (on its own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the SpinCo Group) that the employees of RemainCo or any other members of the RemainCo Group who may be assisting in the provision of Services hereunder are at-will employees and, as such, may terminate or be terminated from employment with RemainCo or any of the other members of the RemainCo Group providing Services hereunder at any time for any reason. In no event shall RemainCo or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective employees or agents be required to perform any Services or take any other actions hereunder that conflict with any applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt and except as may hereafter be designated as Additional Services in accordance with Section 2.3, the Services do not include any services required for or as the result of any business acquisitions, divestitures, start-ups or shutdowns or discontinuation of current business lines by the SpinCo Group. To the extent SpinCo desires RemainCo to provide any services in connection with any such acquisitions, divestitures, start-ups or shutdowns or discontinuation of current business lines, SpinCo shall follow the procedures for requesting Additional Services pursuant to Section 2.3.

Section 2.7 Cooperation . RemainCo and SpinCo shall cooperate with one another and provide such further assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with (a) the provision of Services hereunder or (b) the compliance with any Laws imposed on either SpinCo or RemainCo.

 

- 5 -


Section 2.8 Transitional Nature of Services; Changes . Subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.5, the parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and that RemainCo may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services.

Section 2.9 Access . During the term of this Agreement and for so long as any Services are being provided to SpinCo by RemainCo, SpinCo will provide RemainCo and its authorized representatives reasonable access, during regular business hours upon reasonable notice, to SpinCo and its employees, representatives, facilities and books and records as RemainCo and its representatives may reasonably require in order to perform such Services.

ARTICLE III

SERVICE CHARGES

Section 3.1 Compensation . Subject to the specific terms of this Agreement, the compensation to be received by RemainCo for each Service provided hereunder will be the fees set forth on the Schedule relating to the particular Service, subject to any escalation provided for on such Schedule. In consideration for the provision of a Service, each member of the SpinCo Group receiving such Service shall pay to RemainCo or, at the election of RemainCo, the member of the RemainCo Group providing such Service, the applicable fee for such Service as set forth on the attached Schedules.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENT

Section 4.1 Payment. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, charges for Services shall be invoiced monthly in arrears based on the Services provided by RemainCo or, at its option, the member of the RemainCo Group providing the Service. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, SpinCo shall make the corresponding payment no later than 60 days after receipt of the invoice. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, SpinCo shall remit funds in payment of invoices provided hereunder either by wire transfer or ACH (Automated Clearing House) in accordance with the payment instructions set forth in Schedule 4.1. Each invoice shall be directed to the SpinCo Service Coordinator or such other person designated in writing from time to time by such Service Coordinator. The invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the Services rendered and the invoice amount for the Services rendered for the period covered by such invoice. Interest will accrue on any unpaid amounts at ten percent (10%) per annum (compounded monthly) or, if less, the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law, until such amounts, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are paid in full. All timely payments under this Agreement shall be made without early payment discount. Any preexisting obligation to make payment for Services provided hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If RemainCo incurs any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any incremental license fees incurred by RemainCo in connection with performance of the Services and any travel

 

- 6 -


expenses incurred at the request or with the consent of SpinCo) or remits funds to a third-party on behalf of SpinCo, in either case in connection with the rendering of Services, then RemainCo shall include such amount on its monthly invoice to SpinCo, with reasonable supporting documentation, and SpinCo shall reimburse that amount to RemainCo pursuant to this Section 4.1 as part of its next monthly payment.

Section 4.2 Payment Disputes . SpinCo may object to any amounts for any Service at any time before, at the time of, or after payment is made, provided such objection is made in writing to RemainCo within 90 days following the date of the disputed invoice. SpinCo shall timely pay the disputed items in full while resolution of the dispute is pending; provided, however, that RemainCo shall pay interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum (compounded monthly) on any amounts it is required to return to SpinCo upon resolution of the dispute. Payment of any amount shall not constitute approval thereof. The Service Coordinators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute. Any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within 45 days shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures set forth in Article V of the Master Separation Agreement. Neither party (or any member of its respective Group) shall have a right of set-off against the other party (or any member of its respective Group) for billed amounts hereunder. Upon written request, RemainCo will provide to SpinCo reasonable detail and support documentation to permit SpinCo to verify the accuracy of an invoice.

Section 4.3 Review of Charges; Error Correction . RemainCo shall maintain accurate books and records (including invoices of third parties) related to the Services sufficient to calculate, and allow SpinCo to verify, the amounts owed under this Agreement. From time to time until 120 days following the termination of this Agreement, SpinCo shall have the right to review, and RemainCo shall provide access to, such books and records to verify the accuracy of such amounts, provided that such reviews shall not occur more frequently than once per calendar quarter. Each such review shall be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of RemainCo. If, as a result of any such review, SpinCo determines that it overpaid any amount to RemainCo, then SpinCo may raise an objection pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2. SpinCo shall bear the cost and expense of any such review. RemainCo shall make adjustments to charges as required to reflect the discovery of errors or omissions in charges.

Section 4.4 Taxes . All transfer taxes, excises, fees or other charges (including value added, sales, use or receipts taxes, but not including a tax on or measured by the income, net or gross revenues, business activity or capital of a member of the RemainCo Group), or any increase therein, now or hereafter imposed directly or indirectly by law upon any fees paid hereunder for Services, which a member of the RemainCo Group is required to pay or incur in connection with the provision of Services hereunder (“Tax”), shall be passed on to SpinCo as an explicit surcharge and shall be paid by SpinCo in addition to any Service fee payment, whether included in the applicable Service fee payment, or added retroactively. If SpinCo submits to RemainCo a timely and valid resale or other exemption certificate acceptable to RemainCo and sufficient to support the exemption from Tax, then such Tax will not be added to the Service fee payable pursuant to Article III; provided, however, that if a member of the RemainCo Group is ever required to pay such Tax, SpinCo will promptly reimburse RemainCo for such Tax, including any interest, penalties and attorney’s fees related thereto. The parties will cooperate to minimize the imposition of any Taxes.

 

- 7 -


Section 4.5 Records . RemainCo shall maintain true and correct records of all receipts, invoices, reports and such other documents relating to the Services hereunder in accordance with its standard accounting practices and procedures, consistently applied. RemainCo shall retain such accounting records and make them available to SpinCo’s authorized representatives and auditors for a period of not less than one year from the close of each fiscal year of RemainCo; provided, however, that RemainCo may, at its option, transfer such accounting records to SpinCo upon termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

TERM

Section 5.1 Term . Subject to Articles VI and VII, the RemainCo Group shall provide the specific Services to the SpinCo Group pursuant to this Agreement for the time period set forth on the Schedule relating to the specific Service. In accordance with the Master Separation Agreement and Article VI of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, SpinCo shall undertake to provide to itself and members of the SpinCo Group, and to terminate as soon as reasonably practicable, the Services provided to the SpinCo Group hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service or group of related Services, all Services provided for hereunder shall terminate on December 31, 2016. Except as otherwise expressly agreed or unless sooner terminated, this Agreement shall commence upon the Distribution Date and shall continue in full force and effect between the parties for so long as any Service set forth in any Schedule hereto is being provided to SpinCo or members of the SpinCo Group and this Agreement shall terminate upon the cessation of all Services provided hereunder; provided that Articles I, IV, VIII, IX and XI and Sections 2.5(c) and 2.7 will survive the termination of this Agreement and any such termination shall not affect any obligation for the payment of Services rendered prior to termination.

ARTICLE VI

DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES

Section 6.1 Discontinuation of Services . Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Schedule for a particular Service, at any time after the Distribution Date, SpinCo may, without cause and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereunder and the Master Separation Agreement, request the discontinuation of one or more specific Services by giving RemainCo at least 30 days’ prior written notice; provided, however, that any such discontinuation will not affect the amounts payable to RemainCo hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the charges for the discontinued Services have been separately identified in the applicable Schedule. SpinCo shall be liable to RemainCo for all costs and expenses RemainCo or any member of the RemainCo Group remains obligated to pay in connection with any discontinued Service or Services, except in the case of a Service terminated by SpinCo pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.1 hereof. The parties shall cooperate as reasonably required to effectuate an orderly and systematic transfer to the SpinCo Group of all of the duties and obligations previously performed by RemainCo or a member of the RemainCo Group under this Agreement.

 

- 8 -


Section 6.2 Procedures Upon Discontinuation or Termination of Services . Upon the discontinuation or termination of a Service hereunder, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such Service, except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service and except as to obligations accrued prior to the date of discontinuation or termination; provided, however, that Articles I, IV, VIII, IX and XI and Section 2.5(c) of this Agreement shall survive such discontinuation or termination. Each party and the applicable member(s) of its respective Group shall, within 60 days after discontinuation or termination of a Service, deliver to the other party and the applicable member(s) of its respective Group originals of all books, records, contracts, receipts for deposits and all other papers or documents in its possession which pertain exclusively to the business of the other party and relate to such Service; provided that a party may retain copies of material provided to the other party pursuant to this Section 6.2 as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with its financial reporting obligations or internal control practices and policies.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

Section 7.1 Termination for Default . In the event (i) of a failure of SpinCo to pay for Services in accordance with Section 4.1, or (ii) any party shall default, in any material respect, in the due performance or observance by it of any of the other terms, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, then (1) if the non-defaulting party is RemainCo, RemainCo shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred, and (2) if the non-defaulting party is SpinCo, SpinCo shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred, in either case if the defaulting party has failed to cure the default within 30 days of receipt of the written notice of such default. SpinCo’s right to terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred pursuant to this Article VII and the rights set forth in Section 2.5 shall constitute SpinCo’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies for a breach by RemainCo hereunder (including any breach caused by an Affiliate of RemainCo or other third party providing a Service hereunder).

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER

Section 8.1 Waiver of Consequential Damages . NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL

(c) If, at any time, the Availed Party determines that any of its personnel has sought to circumvent, or has circumvented, the Security Regulations, that any unauthorized Availed Party personnel has accessed the Systems, or that any of its personnel has engaged in activities that may lead to the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of data,

Continued performance of a Service may be suspended immediately to the extent caused by any event or condition beyond the reasonable control of the party suspending such performance (and not involving any willful misconduct of such party), including acts of God, pandemics, floods, fire, earthquakes, labor or trade disturbances, strikes, war, acts of terrorism, civil commotion, electrical shortages or blackouts, breakdown or injury to computing facilities, compliance in good faith with any Law (whether or not it later proves to be invalid), unavailability of materials or bad weather (a “Force Majeure Event”). SpinCo shall not be obligated to pay any amount for Services that it does not receive as a result of a Force Majeure Event (and the parties hereto shall negotiate reasonably to determine the amount applicable to such Services not received). In addition to the reduction of any amounts owed by SpinCo hereunder, during the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, to the extent the provision of any Service has been disrupted or reduced, during such disruption or reduction, (a) SpinCo may replace any such affected Service by providing any such Service for itself or engaging one or more third parties to provide such Service at the expense of SpinCo and (b) RemainCo shall cooperate with, provide such information to and take such other actions as may be reasonably required to assist such third parties to provide such substitute Service.

Section 10.2 Notice . The party claiming suspension due to a Force Majeure Event will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event giving rise to the suspension and of its nature and anticipated duration.

Section 10.3 Cooperation . Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the parties shall cooperate with each other to find alternative means and methods for the provision of the suspended Service.

WHEREAS, in order to provide for an orderly transition under the Master Separation Agreement, it will be advisable for SpinCo, through members of the SpinCo Group, to provide to RemainCo certain services described herein for a transitional period.

Section 2.2 Service Coordinators . Each party will nominate in writing a representative to act as the primary contact with respect to the provision of the Services and the resolution of disputes under this Agreement (each such person, a “Service Coordinator”). The initial Service Coordinators shall be David S. Black (for RemainCo) and Jude T. Broussard (for SpinCo) (or their designated delegates) for each of RemainCo and SpinCo, respectively. The Service Coordinators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute hereunder; and any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within 45 days shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article V of the Master Separation Agreement. Each party hereto may treat an act of a Service Coordinator of the other party hereto which is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement as being authorized by such other party without inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such Service Coordinator had authority to so act; provided , however , that no such Service Coordinator shall have authority to amend this Agreement. RemainCo and SpinCo shall advise each other promptly (in any case no more than three Business Days) in writing of any change in their respective Service Coordinators, setting forth the name of the replacement, and stating that the replacement Service Coordinator is authorized to act for such party in accordance with this Section 2.2.

Section 2.3 Additional Services . RemainCo may request additional Services (the “Additional Services”) from SpinCo by providing written notice. Upon the mutual written agreement as to the nature, cost, duration and scope of such Additional Services, RemainCo and SpinCo shall supplement in writing the Schedules hereto to include such Additional Services. Subject to the other limitations in this Agreement, including the provisions in Section 2.6, but notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, in addition to providing the Services specified in the Schedules, SpinCo, acting directly and/or through its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, contractors or independent third parties designated by any of them, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or to cause to be provided additional, de minimis administrative support services to the RemainCo Group as may be requested by any member of the RemainCo Group from time to time, at no cost beyond the amounts set forth in the Schedules (as the amounts set forth in the Schedules contemplate such additional, de minimis administrative support services); provided, however, that, for any such additional services to be considered de minimis for purposes of this sentence, such additional services shall not require the attention of (i) any one employee of any member of the SpinCo Group for more than 2 hours in any single calendar month or (ii) any group of employees of any one or more members of the SpinCo Group for more than 30 hours in any single calendar month. Except where the context otherwise indicates or requires, any such additional services referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be “Services” under this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Third Party Services . SpinCo shall have the right to hire third-party subcontractors to provide all or part of any Service hereunder except as specifically prohibited by the Schedule defining such Service; provided, that SpinCo shall consult in good faith with

 

- 3 -


RemainCo regarding the proposed hiring of any third-party subcontractor that has not previously been involved in the activities relating to such Service prior to the date hereof; provided, further, that, in the event such subcontracting is inconsistent with the practice applied by SpinCo generally from time to time within its own organization, SpinCo shall give notice to RemainCo of its intent to subcontract any portion of the Services and RemainCo shall have 20 days (or such lesser period set forth in the notice as may be practicable in the event of exigent circumstances) to determine, in its sole discretion, whether to permit such subcontracting or whether to cancel such Service in accordance with Article VI hereof. If RemainCo opts to cancel a Service pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it shall not be liable to SpinCo pursuant to Section 6.1 for any costs or expenses SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group remains obligated to pay to the third-party subcontractor identified in the notice provided by SpinCo as described above. SpinCo shall not be required to give notice of its intent to subcontract Services to any party listed on Exhibit 2.4 hereto, nor shall RemainCo have any right to cancel any Service subcontracted to any such listed party pursuant to this Section 2.4 (provided, that this sentence shall not prevent RemainCo from cancelling any Service pursuant to Section 6.1).

Section 2.5 Standard of Performance; Limitation of Liability .

(a) The Services to be provided hereunder shall be performed with the same general degree of care, at the same general level and at the same general degree of accuracy and responsiveness, as when performed within the RemainCo organization (including, for this purpose, SpinCo and the SpinCo Group) prior to the date of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group are not professional providers of the types of services included in the Services and that SpinCo personnel performing Services have other responsibilities and will not be dedicated full-time to performing Services hereunder.

(b) In the event SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group fails to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services in accordance with the standard of service set forth in Section 2.5(a), the sole and exclusive remedy of RemainCo shall be, at RemainCo’s sole discretion, within 90 days from the date that SpinCo or such member of the SpinCo Group first fails to provide such Service, to not pay for such Service; provided that in the event SpinCo defaults in the manner described in clause (ii) of Section 7.1, RemainCo shall have the further rights set forth in Article VII.

(c) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 2.5, NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION), ARE MADE BY SPINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED AND DISCLAIMED. REMAINCO (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE REMAINCO GROUP) HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT REMAINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE REMAINCO GROUP MAY OTHERWISE HAVE FOR ANY LOSSES, TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR TO PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY AVAILABLE IN CONTRACT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT OF

 

- 4 -


ANY NON-PERFORMANCE, INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE, FAULTY PERFORMANCE OR OTHER FAILURE OR BREACH BY SPINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OF SPINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER AND WHETHER DAMAGES ARE ASSERTED IN CONTRACT OR TORT, UNDER FEDERAL, STATE OR NON U.S. LAWS OR OTHER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER SHALL NOT EXTEND TO COVER, AND SPINCO SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, SUCH LOSSES CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SPINCO OR ANY MEMBER OF THE SPINCO GROUP. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SPINCO GROUP BE LIABLE TO THE REMAINCO GROUP WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR AMOUNTS IN THE AGGREGATE EXCEEDING THE AGGREGATE SERVICE CHARGES PAID HEREUNDER BY THE REMAINCO GROUP.

Section 2.6 Service Boundaries and Scope . Except as provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, the Services shall be available only for purposes of conducting the business of the RemainCo Group substantially in the manner it was conducted immediately prior to the Distribution Date. Except as provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, in providing, or causing to be provided, the Services, SpinCo shall not be obligated to: (i) maintain the employment of any specific employee or hire additional employees or third-party service providers; (ii) purchase, lease or license any additional equipment (including computer equipment, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, machinery, vehicles, tools and other tangible personal property), software or other assets, rights or properties; (iii) make modifications to its existing systems or software; (iv) provide any member of the RemainCo Group with access to any systems or software other than those to which it has authorized access immediately prior to the Distribution Date; or (v) pay any costs related to the transfer or conversion of data of any member of the RemainCo Group. RemainCo acknowledges (on its own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the RemainCo Group) that the employees of SpinCo or any other members of the SpinCo Group who may be assisting in the provision of Services hereunder are at-will employees and, as such, may terminate or be terminated from employment with SpinCo or any of the other members of the SpinCo Group providing Services hereunder at any time for any reason. In no event shall SpinCo or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective employees or agents be required to perform any Services or take any other actions hereunder that conflict with any applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt and except as may hereafter be designated as Additional Services in accordance with Section 2.3, the Services do not include any services required for or as the result of any business acquisitions, divestitures, start-ups or, shutdowns or discontinuation of current business lines by the RemainCo Group. To the extent RemainCo desires SpinCo to provide any services in connection with any such acquisitions, divestitures, start-ups or, shutdowns or discontinuation of current business lines, RemainCo shall follow the procedures for requesting Additional Services pursuant to Section 2.3.

Section 2.7 Cooperation . RemainCo and SpinCo shall cooperate with one another and provide such further assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with (a) the provision of Services hereunder or (b) the compliance with any Laws imposed on either SpinCo or RemainCo.

During the term of this Agreement and for so long as any Services are being provided to RemainCo by SpinCo, RemainCo will provide SpinCo and its authorized representatives reasonable access, during regular business hours upon reasonable notice, to RemainCo and its employees, representatives, facilities and books and records as SpinCo and its representatives may reasonably require in order to perform such Services.

ARTICLE III

SERVICE CHARGES

Section 3.1 Compensation . Subject to the specific terms of this Agreement, the compensation to be received by SpinCo for each Service provided hereunder will be the fees set forth on the Schedule relating to the particular Service, subject to any escalation provided for on such Schedule. In consideration for the provision of a Service, each member of the RemainCo Group receiving such Service shall pay to SpinCo or, at the election of SpinCo, the member of the SpinCo Group providing such Service, the applicable fee for such Service as set forth on the attached Schedules.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENT

Section 4.1 Payment . Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, charges for Services shall be invoiced monthly in arrears based on the Services provided by SpinCo or, at its option, the member of the SpinCo Group providing the Service. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, RemainCo shall make the corresponding payment no later than 60 days after receipt of the invoice. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, RemainCo shall remit funds in payment of invoices provided hereunder either by wire transfer or ACH (Automated Clearing House) in accordance with the payment instructions set forth in Schedule 4.1. Each invoice shall be directed to the RemainCo Service Coordinator or such other person designated in writing from time to time by such Service Coordinator. The invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the Services rendered and the invoice amount for the Services rendered for the period covered by such invoice. Interest will accrue on any unpaid amounts at ten percent (10%) per annum (compounded monthly) or, if less, the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law, until such amounts, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are paid in full. All timely payments under this Agreement shall be made without early payment discount. Any preexisting obligation to make payment for Services provided hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If SpinCo incurs any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any incremental license fees incurred by SpinCo in connection with performance of the Services and any travel expenses incurred at the

 

- 6 -


request or with the consent of RemainCo) or remits funds to a third-party on behalf of RemainCo, in either case in connection with the rendering of Services, then SpinCo shall include such amount on its monthly invoice to RemainCo, with reasonable supporting documentation, and RemainCo shall reimburse that amount to SpinCo pursuant to this Section 4.1 as part of its next monthly payment.

Section 4.2 Payment Disputes . RemainCo may object to any amounts for any Service at any time before, at the time of, or after payment is made, provided such objection is made in writing to SpinCo within 90 days following the date of the disputed invoice. RemainCo shall timely pay the disputed items in full while resolution of the dispute is pending; provided, however, that SpinCo shall pay interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum (compounded monthly) on any amounts it is required to return to RemainCo upon resolution of the dispute. Payment of any amount shall not constitute approval thereof. The Service Coordinators shall meet as expeditiously as possible to resolve any dispute. Any dispute that is not resolved by the Service Coordinators within 45 days shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures set forth in Article V of the Master Separation Agreement. Neither party (or any member of its respective Group) shall have a right of set-off against the other party (or any member of its respective Group) for billed amounts hereunder. Upon written request, SpinCo will provide to RemainCo reasonable detail and support documentation to permit RemainCo to verify the accuracy of an invoice.

Section 4.3 Review of Charges; Error Correction . SpinCo shall maintain accurate books and records (including invoices of third parties) related to the Services sufficient to calculate, and allow RemainCo to verify, the amounts owed under this Agreement. From time to time until 120 days following the termination of this Agreement, RemainCo shall have the right to review, and SpinCo shall provide access to, such books and records to verify the accuracy of such amounts, provided that such reviews shall not occur more frequently than once per calendar quarter. Each such review shall be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of SpinCo. If, as a result of any such review, RemainCo determines that it overpaid any amount to SpinCo, then RemainCo may raise an objection pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2. RemainCo shall bear the cost and expense of any such review. SpinCo shall make adjustments to charges as required to reflect the discovery of errors or omissions in charges.

Section 4.4 Taxes . All transfer taxes, excises, fees or other charges (including value added, sales, use or receipts taxes, but not including a tax on or measured by the income, net or gross revenues, business activity or capital of a member of the SpinCo Group), or any increase therein, now or hereafter imposed directly or indirectly by law upon any fees paid hereunder for Services, which a member of the SpinCo Group is required to pay or incur in connection with the provision of Services hereunder (“Tax”), shall be passed on to RemainCo as an explicit surcharge and shall be paid by RemainCo in addition to any Service fee payment, whether included in the applicable Service fee payment, or added retroactively. If RemainCo submits to SpinCo a timely and valid resale or other exemption certificate acceptable to SpinCo and sufficient to support the exemption from Tax, then such Tax will not be added to the Service fee payable pursuant to Article III; provided, however, that if a member of the SpinCo Group is ever required to pay such Tax, RemainCo will promptly reimburse SpinCo for such Tax, including any interest, penalties and attorney’s fees related thereto. The parties will cooperate to minimize the imposition of any Taxes.

 

- 7 -


Section 4.5 Records . SpinCo shall maintain true and correct records of all receipts, invoices, reports and such other documents relating to the Services hereunder in accordance with its standard accounting practices and procedures, consistently applied. SpinCo shall retain such accounting records and make them available to RemainCo’s authorized representatives and auditors for a period of not less than one year from the close of each fiscal year of SpinCo; provided, however, that SpinCo may, at its option, transfer such accounting records to RemainCo upon termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

In accordance with the Master Separation Agreement and Article VI of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service, RemainCo shall undertake to provide to itself and members of the RemainCo Group, and to terminate as soon as reasonably practicable, the Services provided to the RemainCo Group hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in a Schedule for a specific Service or group of related Services, all Services provided for hereunder shall terminate on December 31, 2016. Except as otherwise expressly agreed or unless sooner terminated, this Agreement shall commence upon the Distribution Date and shall continue in full force and effect between the parties for so long as any Service set forth in any Schedule hereto is being provided to RemainCo or members of the RemainCo Group and this Agreement shall terminate upon the cessation of all Services provided hereunder; provided that Articles I, IV, VIII, IX and XI and Sections 2.5(c) and 2.7 will survive the termination of this Agreement and any such termination shall not affect any obligation for the payment of Services rendered prior to termination.

ARTICLE VI

DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES

Section 6.1 Discontinuation of Services . Unless otherwise provided in the relevant Schedule for a particular Service, at any time after the Distribution Date, RemainCo may, without cause and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereunder and the Master Separation Agreement, request the discontinuation of one or more specific Services by giving SpinCo at least 30 days’ prior written notice; provided, however, that any such discontinuation will not affect the amounts payable to SpinCo hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the charges for the discontinued Services have been separately identified in the applicable Schedule. RemainCo shall be liable to SpinCo for all costs and expenses SpinCo or any member of the SpinCo Group remains obligated to pay in connection with any discontinued Service or Services, except in the case of a Service terminated by RemainCo pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 7.1 hereof. The parties shall cooperate as reasonably required to effectuate an orderly and systematic transfer to the RemainCo Group of all of the duties and obligations previously performed by SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group under this Agreement.

Each party and the applicable member(s) of its respective Group shall, within 60 days after discontinuation or termination of a Service, deliver to the other party and the applicable member(s) of its respective Group originals of all books, records, contracts, receipts for deposits and all other papers or documents in its possession which pertain exclusively to the business of the other party and relate to such Service; provided that a party may retain copies of material provided to the other party pursuant to this Section 6.2 as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with its financial reporting obligations or internal control practices and policies.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

Section 7.1 Termination for Default . In the event (i) of a failure of RemainCo to pay for Services in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1, or (ii) any party shall default, in any material respect, in the due performance or observance by it of any of the other terms, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, then (1) if the non-defaulting party is SpinCo, SpinCo shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred, and (2) if the non-defaulting party is RemainCo, RemainCo shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred/this Agreement, in either case if the defaulting party has failed to cure the default within 30 days of receipt of the written notice of such default. RemainCo’s right to terminate the Service with respect to which the default occurred pursuant to this Article VII and the rights set forth in Section 2.5 shall constitute RemainCo’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies for a breach by SpinCo hereunder (including any breach caused by an Affiliate of SpinCo or other third party providing a Service hereunder).

Notwithstanding anything in any Existing Reinsurance Agreement to the contrary, and effective as of the Assumption Time, Creole hereby transfers and assigns, and Dampkraft hereby assumes by novation, so much of each Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreement as reinsures any Company SpinCo Obligation. In connection with such transfer, assignment, and novation:

(i) Dampkraft hereby agrees to observe, pay, perform, satisfy, fulfill and discharge, to the extent and in the manner required under the applicable Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreement, any and all now existing and hereafter arising duties, terms, provisions, covenants, obligations and liabilities of Creole under the Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreements with respect to the Company SpinCo Obligations insofar as transferred above (the “ SpinCo Assumption and Novation ”); and

(ii) The Company and each ACE Affiliate hereby consent to, and agree to give full force and effect to, the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation. From and after the Assumption Time, Dampkraft and not Creole shall be treated as the Company’s (or applicable ACE Affiliate’s) contractual counterparty with respect the contracts and mutual rights and obligations subject to the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation. Without limitation, the Company and each ACE Affiliate, as applicable:

 

  a may enforce against Dampkraft its rights with respect to the Company SpinCo Obligations under the Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreements to the same extent such Person could, prior to the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation, enforce such rights against Creole, and

 

  b

shall perform for the benefit of Dampkraft any obligation with respect to the Company SpinCo Obligations under the Novated-to-

 

5


  Creole Reinsurance Agreements to the same extent such Person was obligated, prior to the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation, to perform such obligations for the benefit of Creole, and

 

  c releases Creole from its obligation to observe, pay, perform, satisfy, fulfill or discharge any obligations under any Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreement with respect to any Company SpinCo Obligation.

(b) No Transfer or Novation of Creole Obligations arising from RemainCo Operations . The Wholly Retained Creole Reinsurance Agreements are not novated or otherwise affected by the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation. The Assumed-by-Dampkraft Reinsurance Agreements are novated to Dampkraft as set forth above only to the extent that they reinsure Company SpinCo Obligations. To the extent that the Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreements reinsure Company RemainCo Obligations, the Parties acknowledge that Creole and not Dampkraft shall continue to observe, pay, perform, satisfy, fulfill and discharge any and all now existing and hereafter arising duties, terms, provisions, covenants, obligations and liabilities of Creole as reinsurer under the Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreements.

(c) No Effect on Aggregate Limits of Liability . It is understood and agreed that the aggregate liability of Creole and Dampkraft, taken together, under the Existing Reinsurance Agreements (or any of them) is not intended to be, and shall be deemed not to be, increased by implementation of this Agreement. In particular, and without limitation, to the extent that any Existing Reinsurance Agreement contains an aggregate limit of liability, that aggregate limit of liability shall, after the Assumption Time, apply as a single, joint aggregate limit of liability. Neither Creole nor Dampkraft shall have any further liability under a Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreement upon actual exhaustion by payment of the single, joint aggregate limit of liability thereunder; provided, however, that each of Creole and Dampkraft agree that the Company may determine the order in which any such single, joint aggregate limit of liability may be payable by each of them under such Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreement, and provided further that (x) neither Creole nor Dampkraft may refuse to pay any amount due to the Company on the basis of any claim or contention that in determining the order in which such limits are to be paid thereunder, the Company has not acted in good faith or has acted improperly, and (y) neither Creole nor Dampkraft may assert any such claim or contention as a defense to liability or payment or otherwise.

3. Collateral.

(a) Creole LOC .

(i) Creole will, within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, provide to the Company, as beneficiary thereof, an irrevocable letter of credit (the “ Creole LOC ”) in an amount of $ $1,000,176, issued in a form and by a bank or other financial institution, in each case acceptable to the Company; and/or such other forms of collateral as the Company may permit in writing from time to time. The Creole LOC shall secure the Go-Forward Creole Obligations.

 

6


(ii) The Creole LOC shall be “evergreen,” meaning that it shall provide by its terms that it will be renewed automatically each year for an additional year unless written notice of non-renewal is received by the Company at least sixty (60) days prior to the Creole LOC’s anniversary date. If the Company permits Creole to provide collateral in a form other than the Creole LOC, Creole shall provide such collateral in an amount and form acceptable to the Company.

(iii) Creole shall continue to provide the Creole LOC (or other collateral acceptable to the Company) as security for payment of the Go-Forward Creole Obligations, until the Company determines that there is no longer any need for such collateral.

(iv) The Company shall have the right to draw against the Creole LOC and/or other collateral solely (a) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Novated-to-Creole Reinsurance Agreement, as the case may be, and/or as required and permitted by the laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or (b) in the event that a notice of nonrenewal is received pursuant to the evergreen clause.

(v) Annually, the Company shall review and redetermine the amount of the Go-Forward Creole Obligations and the amount of collateral security required pursuant to this Agreement. At such time, RemainCo will provide its most recent audited financial statements, interim financial statements, and any other financial information reasonably requested by the Company for the purpose of evaluating the financial condition of RemainCo. RemainCo will provide any needed increases in the amount of the Creole LOC (and/or other collateral if acceptable to the Company) within thirty (30) days of the Company’s written request for any additional required amount of the Creole LOC. The Company will effect any decreases in the amount of the Creole LOC (and/or other collateral) promptly, provided that Creole is not in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Existing Reinsurance Agreements as transferred and novated hereunder and RemainCo is not in breach of any of its obligations to the Company under the ALAA.

(b) Dampkraft LOC .

(i) Dampkraft will, within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, provide to the Company, as beneficiary thereof, an irrevocable letter of credit (the “ Dampkraft LOC ”) in an amount of $ $1,926,507, issued in a form and by a bank or other financial institution, in each case acceptable to the Company; and/or such other forms of collateral as the Company may permit in writing from time to time. The Dampkraft LOC shall secure the Go-Forward Dampkraft Obligations.

 

7


(ii) The Dampkraft LOC shall be “evergreen,” meaning that it shall provide by its terms that it will be renewed automatically each year for an additional year unless written notice of non-renewal is received by the Company at least sixty (60) days prior to the Dampkraft LOC’s anniversary date. If the Company permits Dampkraft to provide collateral in a form other than the Dampkraft LOC, Dampkraft shall provide such collateral in an amount and form acceptable to the Company.

(iii) Dampkraft shall continue to provide the Dampkraft LOC (or other collateral acceptable to the Company) as security for payment of the Go-Forward Dampkraft Obligations, until the Company determines that there is no longer any need for such collateral. If there shall be a material deterioration in the financial condition of the bank or other financial institution which has issued the Dampkraft LOC, the Company shall have the right to require Dampkraft to replace the Dampkraft LOC with a new letter of credit with similar terms issued by a bank or other financial institution then acceptable to the Company.

(iv) The Company shall have the right to draw against the Dampkraft LOC and/or other collateral solely (a) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Novated-to-Dampkraft Reinsurance Agreement, as the case may be, and/or as required and permitted by the laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or (b) in the event that a notice of nonrenewal is received pursuant to the evergreen clause.

(v) Annually, the Company shall review and redetermine the amount of the Go-Forward Dampkraft Obligations and the amount of collateral security required pursuant to this Agreement. At such time, SpinCo will provide its most recent audited financial statements, interim financial statements, and any other financial information reasonably requested by the Company for the purpose of evaluating the financial condition of SpinCo. Dampkraft will provide any needed increases in the amount of the Dampkraft LOC (and/or other collateral if acceptable to the Company) within thirty (30) days of the Company’s written request for any additional required amount of the Dampkraft LOC. The Company will effect any decreases in the amount of the Dampkraft LOC (and/or other collateral) promptly, provided that Dampkraft is not in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Existing Reinsurance Agreements as transferred and novated hereunder and SpinCo is not in breach of any of its obligations to the Company under the ALAA.

(c) Existing Security Agreements; Substituted Collateral . Notwithstanding anything in any Existing Reinsurance Agreement or any Existing Security Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall release the Existing Collateral (including, without limitation, providing the necessary directions to issuing banks of letters of credit, trustees of reinsurance trusts, and/or similar third parties) upon receipt of the Substituted Collateral as set forth in Section 3(a)(i) and 3(b)(i), and the Parties shall take all actions and execute any documents necessary to terminate the Existing Security Agreements.

(d) Adjustments of Funds Withheld . To the extent that the Company has retained funds of Creole or Dampkraft as funds withheld under any Existing Reinsurance Agreement (including, without limitation, by allocating reinsurance premium or other funds of the reinsurers to claim payment funds held by ESIS), such funds shall continue to be maintained following the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Company desires to effect a one-time reallocation of such funds withheld as between Creole and Dampkraft as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it shall provide notice of such reallocation as promptly as possible after the Assumption Time, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date, and Creole and Dampkraft shall accept the Company’s determination of the amount of such reallocation.

4. Existing Collateral. The Substituted Collateral required to be provided by Creole and Dampkraft hereunder shall, except to the extent provided otherwise in this Agreement, be subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to the Existing Collateral pursuant to the Existing Reinsurance Agreements to the same extent that such terms and conditions applied to the Existing Collateral thereunder.

5. Allocation.

(a) Company Designations . The Company’s determination as to whether an obligation is a Go-Forward Creole Obligation or a Go-Forward Dampkraft Obligation (a “ Company Designation ”) shall be binding on Creole and Dampkraft, and they shall not delay, or make any deduction with respect to, their payment or other response to such obligation on account of any disagreement with such determination, provided , however , that such payment or other response shall not be construed as prejudicial to either Party in any dispute between Creole and Dampkraft with respect to any such Company Designation.

(b) Disputes . Any dispute or disagreement between Creole and Dampkraft with respect to the correctness of a Company Designation shall be resolved pursuant to Article V of the Separation Agreement; provided , that (i) the Company will not be made a party to any arbitration proceeding arising from such dispute or disagreement, but may be called as a witness; (ii) any reasonable costs incurred by the Company in respect of any such arbitration proceeding will be fully reimbursed to the Company promptly following receipt of a reimbursement demand from the Company; (iii) under no circumstances will RemainCo, SpinCo, Creole or Dampkraft, as a result of such arbitration proceeding, require the Company to return any amount received by the Company pursuant to a prior Company Designation, whether such amount was received as a result of the Company’s draw against security posted for its benefit or otherwise, and (iv) the Company shall comply with the allocation or other resolution of such dispute.

6. Billing. On and after the Effective Date, the Company will (in each case in accordance with the billing procedures set forth in the applicable Existing Reinsurance Agreement)

THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG ALL OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSFERS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND NOVATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND SUPERSEDES ALL OTHER PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, BOTH WRITTEN AND ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFERS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND NOVATIONS. SOLELY FOR INTERPRETATION PURPOSES, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE ALAA.

16. Dispute Resolution. For dispute resolution purposes as between Creole and Dampkraft, and all disputes between Creole and Dampkraft arising out of this Agreement, including without limitation as to whether a given obligation is a Go-Forward Creole Obligation or a Go-Forward Dampkraft Obligation, shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article V of the Separation Agreement.

As between the Company on the one hand and Creole and/or Dampkraft, on the other hand, all disputes arising hereunder shall be resolved in accordance with the arbitration provisions of the most recent Existing Reinsurance Agreement. In any such arbitration, the entity named in the applicable Company Designation shall be the party formally opposed to the Company, but the other of Creole or Dampkraft shall have right to associate effectively in the defense and/or prosecution of such arbitration.

17. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Exhibits attached hereto is determined by a nonappealable decision by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the court, administrative agency or arbitrator shall interpret this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. If any sentence in this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

18. Rules of Construction. The definitions of terms used herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, (b) any reference herein to any law shall be construed as referring to such law as amended, modified,

 

12


codified or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect from time to time, (c) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns (subject to the restrictions contained herein), (d) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (e) with respect to the determination of any time period, the word “from” means “from and including” and the word “to” means “to and including” and (f) any reference herein to Articles, Sections and Exhibits shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits to, this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against any Person solely because such Person or its legal representative drafted such provision.

- 4 -


after the Assumption Time, Dampkraft and not Creole shall be treated as the applicable SpinCo Entity’s contractual counterparty with respect to the contracts and mutual rights and obligations subject to the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation. Without limitation, each SpinCo Entity:

 

  a. may enforce against Dampkraft its rights under the Transferable Creole Policies or with respect to any Insured SpinCo Obligation to the same extent such Person could, prior to the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation, enforce such rights against Creole, and

 

  b. shall perform for the benefit of Dampkraft any obligation under the Transferable Creole Policies or with respect to any Insured SpinCo Obligation to the same extent such Person was obligated, prior to the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation, to perform such obligations for the benefit of Creole, and

 

  c. releases Creole from its obligation to observe, pay, perform, satisfy, fulfill or discharge any obligations under any Transferable Creole Policy or with respect to any Insured SpinCo Obligation.

(iii) With respect to each Transferable Creole Policy that is subject to the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation, the aggregate of rights, duties, and obligations set forth in subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above shall be treated as the Transferred Dampkraft Policy relating to such Transferable Creole Policy.

(b) No Transfer or Novation of Insured RemainCo Obligations to SpinCo Entities . Except to the extent that the Wholly Retained Creole Policies are determined to cover Insured SpinCo Obligations notwithstanding the absence of any SpinCo Entity as an Insured thereunder, the Wholly Retained Creole Policies are not novated or otherwise affected by the Dampkraft Assumption and Novation. The Transferable Creole Policies are novated to Dampkraft as set forth above only to the extent that one or more SpinCo Entities is an insured thereunder. To the extent that RemainCo Entities are insureds under the Transferable Creole Policies, the Parties acknowledge that Creole and not Dampkraft shall continue to observe, pay, perform, satisfy, fulfill and discharge any and all now existing and hereafter arising duties, terms, provisions, covenants, obligations and liabilities of the Insurer under the Transferable Creole Policies.

- 5 -


Assumption Time, apply as a single, joint aggregate limit of liability as between (i) the resulting Transferred Dampkraft Policy and (ii) the portions of the Transferable Creole Policy that are retained pursuant to Section 2(b) above.

(d) Transfer of Assets . In consideration of Dampkraft’s agreement to assume and discharge Creole’s obligations under each Transferable Creole Policy, Creole agrees to transfer to Dampkraft no later than 30 days after the Effective Date all of the assets, liabilities, rights and obligations comprising the aggregate value of the Loss Portfolio.

3. Amendments . Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by a written instrument signed by each Party.

4.3 Adjustments in Authorized Shares.

The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the capital stock of the Company or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock (whether or not such issue is prior to, on a parity with or junior to the Shares) or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding of any kind, whether or not of a character similar to that of the acts or proceedings enumerated above.

If there shall be any change in the Shares of the Company or the capitalization of the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to stockholders of the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under this Plan, shall adjust, in such manner as it deems equitable, as applicable, the number and kind of Shares that may be granted as Awards under this Plan, the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, the exercise or other price applicable to outstanding Awards, the Awards Limitations, the Fair Market Value of the Shares and other value determinations applicable to outstanding Awards;   provided, however , that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

Subject to the terms of this Plan, each of these measures shall be defined by the Committee on a consolidated, segment, group, subsidiary or division basis or in comparison to one or more peer group companies or indices, and may include or exclude specified research and development expenses, acquisition costs, operating expenses from acquired businesses or corporate transactions, and such other unusual or extraordinary items as defined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

10.2 Adjustments. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to adjust determinations of the degree of attainment of the pre-established performance goals; provided, however, that, except in connection with a Change in Control, an Award that is designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception may not be adjusted in a manner that would result in the Award no longer qualifying for the Performance-Based Exception. The Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward.

10.3 Compliance with Code Section 162(m). In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws or regulations change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing performance measures without obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval; provided that after such change or changes the Award continues to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards which shall not qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder. Any performance-based Awards granted to Officers or Directors that are not intended to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be based on achievement of such performance measure(s) and be subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee shall determine.

ARTICLE 11

Beneficiary Designation

Each Participant under this Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Plan is to be paid in case of the Participant’s death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

ARTICLE 12

Deferrals

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit selected Participants to elect to defer payment of some or all types of Awards, or may provide for the deferral of an Award in an Award Agreement; provided, however, that the timing of any such election and payment of any such deferral shall be specified in the Award Agreement and shall conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) and the regulations and rulings issued thereunder. Any deferred payment, whether elected by a Participant or specified in an Award Agreement or by the Committee, may be forfeited if and to the extent that the applicable Award Agreement so provides.

 

15


ARTICLE 13

Rights of Employees, Directors and Consultants

13.1 Employment or Service.

Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company.

13.2 No Contract of Employment. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute part of a Participant’s employment contract with the Company or any Subsidiary, and accordingly, subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to liability on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary for severance payments.

13.3 Transfers Between Participating Entities. For purposes of this Plan, a transfer of a Participant’s employment between the Company and a Subsidiary, or between Subsidiaries, shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment. Upon such a transfer, the Committee may make such adjustments to outstanding Awards as it deems appropriate to reflect the change in reporting relationships.

ARTICLE 14

Change in Control

The treatment of outstanding Awards upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be described in the Award Agreements and need not be uniform among all Participants or Awards granted pursuant to this Plan.

ARTICLE 15

Amendment, Modification and Termination

15.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination.

The Board may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan in whole or in part, provided, however, that shareholder approval shall be required for any amendment that materially alters the terms of this Plan or is otherwise required by applicable legal requirements. No amendment or alteration that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any Award previously granted to such Participant shall be made without the consent of such Participant. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, Participant consent shall not be required for any amendment to Article 19 hereof that is deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company to ensure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Section 10D of the Exchange Act, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

15.2 Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events.

Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3, the Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4.3 hereof) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or in recognition of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate.

 

16


ARTICLE 16

Withholding

The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any Award payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or vesting of cash or Shares under this Plan, or at the time applicable law otherwise requires, an appropriate amount of cash or number of Shares or a combination thereof for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. The Committee may permit withholding to be satisfied by the transfer to the Company of Shares theretofore owned by the holder of the Award with respect to which withholding is required. If Shares are used to satisfy tax withholding, such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the tax withholding is required to be made.

ARTICLE 17

Indemnification

Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom the Committee has delegated authority in accordance with Article 3 hereof, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from: (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonable incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Plan, except for any such action or failure to act that constitutes willful misconduct on the part of such person or as to which any applicable statute prohibits the Company from providing indemnification; and (b) any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is provided pursuant to clause (a) of this sentence, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment or award in any such action, suit or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.

The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated By-Laws (each, as amended from time to time), as a matter of law, or otherwise.

ARTICLE 18

Successors

All obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the direct or indirect result of a merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or other transaction.

ARTICLE 19

Clawback Provisions

The ability of the Company and/or the Board to forfeit Awards granted or recover Awards paid under this Plan, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges, may be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and described in the Award Agreements and need not be uniform among all Participants or Awards granted pursuant to this Plan.

 

17


ARTICLE 20

General Provisions

20.1 Restrictions and Legends.

No Shares or other form of payment shall be issued or transferred with respect to any Award unless the Company shall be satisfied that such issuance or transfer will be in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws. The Committee may require each person receiving Shares pursuant to an Award under this Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the Shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof. Any certificates evidencing Shares delivered under this Plan (to the extent that such Shares are so evidenced) may be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or transaction reporting system upon which the Shares are then listed or to which they are admitted for quotation and any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law. In addition to any other legend required by this Plan, any certificates for such Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer of such Shares.

20.2 Gender and Number.

Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

20.3 Severability.

If any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

20.4 Requirements of Law.

The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

20.5 Uncertificated Shares.

To the extent that this Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or transaction reporting system on which the Shares are listed or to which the Shares are admitted for quotation.

20.6 Unfunded Plan.

Insofar as this Plan provides for Awards of cash, Shares or rights thereto, it will be unfunded. Although the Company may establish bookkeeping accounts with respect to Participants who are entitled to cash, Shares or rights thereto under this Plan, it will use any such accounts merely as a bookkeeping convenience. Participants shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts, except as expressly set forth in this Plan. This Plan is not intended to be subject to ERISA.

 

18


20.7 No Fractional Shares.

No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, Awards or other property shall be delivered or paid in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

20.8 Governing Law.

This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by mandatory provisions of the Code or the securities laws of the United States, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

20.9 Compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any grant made hereunder comply with or be exempt from the provisions of Code Section 409A. This Plan and any grants made hereunder shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent.

Article 5 – Eligibility and Participation

All Employees are eligible for participation in the Plan. Actual participation in the Plan shall be based upon recommendations by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to approval by the Committee. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall automatically participate in the Plan.

Article 6 – Award Determination

(a) Performance Measures and Performance Goals.

For each plan year, the Committee shall select performance measures and shall establish performance goals for that plan year. Except as provided in Article 8 herein, the performance measures may be based on any combination of corporate, segment, group, subsidiary, divisional, and/or individual goals.

For each plan year, the Committee shall establish ranges of performance goals which will correspond to various levels of Award Opportunities. Each performance goal range shall include a level of performance at which one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Incentive Award shall be earned. In addition, each range shall include levels of performance above and below the one hundred percent (100%) performance level.

After the performance goals are established, the Committee will align the achievement of the performance goals with the Award Opportunities (as described in Article 6(b) herein), such that the level of achievement of the pre-established performance goals at the end of the plan year will determine the Final Awards. Except as provided in Article 8 herein, the Committee shall have the authority to exercise subjective discretion in the determination of Final Awards, and the authority to delegate the ability to exercise subjective discretion in this respect.

 

4


(b) Award Opportunities.

For each plan year, the Committee shall establish, in writing, Award Opportunities which correspond to various levels of achievement of the pre-established performance goals. The established Award Opportunities shall vary in relation to the job classification of each Participant.

(c) Adjustment of Performance Goals and Award Opportunities.

Once established, performance goals normally shall not be changed during the plan year. However, except as provided in Article 8 herein, if the Committee determines that external changes or other unanticipated business conditions have materially affected the fairness of the goals, then the Committee may approve appropriate adjustments to the performance goals (either up or down) during the plan year as such goals apply to the Award Opportunities of specified Participants. In addition, the Committee shall have the authority to reduce or eliminate the Final Award determinations, based upon any objective or subjective criteria it deems appropriate.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event of any change in Corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Code Section 368), or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, an adjustment shall be made in the Award Opportunities and/or the performance measures or performance goals related to then-current performance periods, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; provided, however, that subject to Article 8 herein, no such adjustment shall be made to a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would cause the award to no longer qualify for the exception for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m).

(d) Final Award Determinations.

At the end of each plan year, Final Awards shall be computed for each Participant as determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of Article 8 herein, Final Award amounts may vary above or below the Target Incentive Award, based on the level of achievement of the pre-established corporate, segment, group, divisional, and/or individual performance goals.

 

5


(e) Award Limit.

The Committee may establish guidelines governing the maximum Final Awards that may be earned by Participants (either in the aggregate, by Employee class, or among individual Participants) in each plan year. The guidelines may be expressed as a percentage of goals or financial measures, or such other measures as the Committee shall from time to time determine; provided, however, that the maximum payout with respect to a Final Award payable to any one Participant in connection with performance in any one plan year shall be three million dollars ($3,000,000).

(f) Threshold Levels of Performance.

The Committee may establish minimum levels of performance goal achievement, below which no payouts of Final Awards shall be made to any Participant.

Article 7 – Payment of Awards

Each and every Final Award shall be payable in a lump sum no later than the March 15 following the end of the Plan year during which the award is earned, or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter in the event payment is delayed due to unforeseeable events.

Article 8 – Qualified Performance-Based Awards

(a) Applicability of Article 8.

The provisions of this Article 8 shall apply only to Qualified Performance-Based Awards. Qualified Performance-Based Awards include only those awards that are designated by the Committee as Qualified Performance-Based Awards. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Article 8 and the other Plan provisions as they pertain to Qualified Performance-Based Awards, the provisions of this Article 8 shall control.

 

6


(b) Establishment of Award Opportunities.

Except as provided for by the Committee at the time a Qualified Performance Based Award is made, Qualified Performance-Based Awards shall be established as a function of the Covered Employee’s base Salary. As specified by the Committee at the time the Qualified Performance-Based Award is made, base Salary for this purpose may be stated as a percentage of the base Salary of a Covered Employee at the time the performance measures are established, at the time the Final Award is paid or during the plan year. For each plan year, the Committee shall establish, in writing, various levels of Final Awards which will be paid with respect to specified levels of attainment of the pre-established performance goals.

(c) Components of Award Opportunities.

Each Qualified Performance-Based Award shall be based on: (a) the Covered Employee’s Target Incentive Award; (b) the potential Final Awards corresponding to various levels of achievement of the pre-established performance goals, as established by the Committee; and (c) Company, segment, group, subsidiary or division performance in relation to the pre-established performance goals. Performance measures which may serve as determinants of Qualified Performance-Based Awards shall be limited to Cash Flow, Cash Flow Return on Capital, Cash Flow Return on Assets, Cash Flow Return on Equity, Earnings Per Share (basic or diluted), Net Income, Operating Income, Return on Assets, Return on Capital, Return on Equity, Return on Invested Capital, Safety, Share Price, Total and Relative Shareholder Return and Economic Value Added. At the time the performance measures are established, the Committee, in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m), may specify that such performance measures shall be adjusted to exclude any negative impact caused by research and development expenses, acquisition costs, operating expenses from acquired businesses or corporate transactions, changes in accounting principles and such other unusual, nonrecurring or extraordinary items specified by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have the right through discretionary downward adjustments to exclude the positive impact of the aforementioned items and occurrences.

 

7


(d) No Adjustment of Performance Goals or Award Opportunities.

In the case of Qualified Performance-Based Awards, each Covered Employee’s Final Award shall be based exclusively on the Award Opportunity levels established by the Committee at the time the Qualified Performance-Based Award is made. In addition, performance goals shall not be changed following their establishment where such action would cause the award to no longer qualify for the exception for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), and no payout shall be made when the minimum performance goals are not met or exceeded. The Committee, however, shall have the discretion to decrease or eliminate the amount of the Final Award otherwise payable on account of a Qualified Performance-Based Award. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that changes in the tax law are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit greater flexibility with respect to any Qualified Performance-Based Award available under the Plan, the Committee, subject to Article 11, may make such adjustments it deems appropriate, provided that after such adjustment the award would continue to satisfy the requirement for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m).

Article 9 – Limitations

(a) No person shall at any time have any right to a payment hereunder for any fiscal year, and no person shall have authority to enter into an agreement for the making of an Award Opportunity or payment of a Final Award or to make any representation or guarantee with respect thereto.

(b) An employee receiving an Award Opportunity shall have no rights in respect of such Award Opportunity, except the right to receive payments, subject to the conditions herein, of such Award Opportunity, which right may not be assigned or transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

(c) Neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan, nor any action taken by the Committee under the Plan, nor any provision of the Plan shall be construed as giving to any person the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiary or Affiliated Companies.

 

8


Article 10 – Clawback Provisions

(a) For any Award Opportunity established under this Plan on or after February 22, 2011, in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws as a result of fraud (a “Restatement”), the Company will have the right to recover from each current or former Participant who the Board reasonably determines knowingly engaged in the fraud (the “Subject Participant”) who earned a Final Award during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Board or the Company, as applicable, determines the Company is required to prepare the Restatement (the “Three-Year Period”) the amount of such Final Award in excess of what would have been earned by the current or former Subject Participant under the Restatement.

(b) In the event a Restatement is required, the Board, based upon a recommendation by the Committee, will (1) review each current and former Subject Participant’s Final Awards earned under this Plan (for Award Opportunities established under this Plan on or after February 22, 2011) during the Three-Year Period and (2) in accordance with Article 10 hereof, with respect to each current and former Subject Participant, will take reasonable action to seek recovery of the amount of such Final Awards in excess of what would have been earned by the current or former Subject Participant under the Restatement (but in no event more than the total amount of such Awards), as such excess amount is reasonably determined by the Board, in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. There shall be no duplication of recovery under Article 10 hereof and any of 15 U.S.C. Section 7243 (Section 304 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

 

9


Article 11 – Amendment, Suspension, Termination, or Alteration of the Plan

The Board may, at any time or from time to time, amend, suspend, terminate or alter the Plan, in whole or in part, but it may not thereby affect adversely rights of Participants, their spouses, children, and personal representative(s) with respect to Final Awards previously made. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Board may make any amendment to Article 10 hereof that is deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company to ensure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Section 10D of the Exchange Act, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

Article 12 – Commencement of Awards

The Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 shall be the first fiscal year with respect to which Award Opportunities may be made under the Plan.

The Plan is governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ ERISA ”).

The first Plan Year shall be a short Plan Year beginning on November 5, 2012 and ending on December 31, 2012. Thereafter, the Plan Year shall be the twelve (12) month period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of each calendar year.

ARTICLE III

Participation

The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall select and notify in writing those Eligible Employees of the Company who shall participate in the Plan or a portion thereof. An Eligible Employee who has been selected by the Committee as a Participant shall begin participation in the Plan effective on the date specified by the Committee. Each Director shall begin participation in the Plan on the Effective Date or the date he becomes a Director, whichever is later. Participation shall continue until (a) the Participant’s Separation from Service, or (b) if the Participant is an employee of the Company, the date the Committee notifies him that he is no longer eligible to participate in the Plan, if earlier. A Participant who ceases to participate in the Plan pursuant to Clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be treated as if he had terminated employment with the Company but (i) his benefit, if any, payable upon Separation from Service shall not be payable until after his actual Separation from Service, and (ii) his Vested Account shall be adjusted as provided in Article V. An Eligible Employee who is rehired by the Company following his Separation from Service shall become a Participant only if such Eligible Employee is again selected to participate in the Plan by the Committee. A Director who again becomes a member of the Board following his Separation from Service shall automatically resume participation in the Plan on the first day of the following Plan Year.

ARTICLE IV

Contributions

4.1 Annual Company Contribution . As of the first day of each Plan Year, the Company shall declare a contribution percentage, which may be zero, for the Company Account of each Participant who is an Eligible Employee. The contribution percentage declared for a Participant may, but need not be, the same as the contribution percentage declared for other Participants. Company Contributions shall be credited as a bookkeeping entry as of the first day of the Plan Year or at other such times as determined by the Committee to each Participant’s Company Account, in an amount equal to the contribution percentage declared for the Participant multiplied by the Participant’s Compensation received during the prior Plan Year.

4.2 Discretionary Company Contribution . The Committee may in its sole discretion at any time make an extraordinary contribution to the Company Account of any Participant.

4.3 Participant Deferrals . For any Plan Year, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow a Participant to elect to defer the payment by the Company of any whole percentage (or dollar amount) of his annual base salary, retainers and fees that would otherwise be paid during such Plan Year and/or of any whole percentage (or dollar

 

9


amount) of any Bonus earned during such Plan Year, and instead have such amounts credited as a bookkeeping entry to his Deferral Account. The Compensation otherwise payable to a Participant shall be reduced by the amount the Participant elected to have contributed to the Participant’s Deferral Account, which shall be a Deferral Contribution.

4.4 Participant Elections . Unless a different time is established by the Committee for a particular deferral election, prior to the first day of each Plan Year, each Participant shall file a written election with the Committee specifying (i) the type(s) and amount(s) of Compensation that he wishes to defer pursuant to Section 4.3, if Deferral Contributions are permitted by the Committee for the relevant Plan Year, (ii) the payment date or payment commencement date pertaining to the portion of his Vested Account that is attributable to contributions made in the relevant Plan Year, and (iii) the form of payment of the portion of his Vested Account that is attributable to contributions made in the relevant Plan Year. Such election with respect to any Plan Year must be filed with the Committee no later than the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year; provided however, that an election made by a new Participant who is first eligible to participate in the Plan may be made no later than the 30 th day following the date on which he is initially eligible to participate in the Plan but only with respect to Compensation earned after the effective date of such election. If Deferral Contributions are permitted, (a) a Participant who is an Eligible Employee may elect to defer up to 50% of his annual salary and/or up to 100% of any Bonus earned in any Plan Year, and (b) a Director may elect to defer up to 100% of his annual retainer and fees earned in any Plan Year.

Except as set forth in Section 6.3, a Participant shall not be permitted to change his election with respect to the timing or form of payment and any election made hereunder shall not apply with respect to prior Plan Years. Failure to make a timely Deferral Contribution election will result in no Deferral Contributions for the relevant Plan Year. If a Participant fails to make a timely election specifying time and form of payment, payment of the portion of the Participant’s Vested Account that is attributable to contributions made in the relevant Plan Year shall be paid in accordance with Section 6.4.

Participant elections made with respect to the portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to contributions to the MII SERP prior to the Effective Date shall continue in full force and effect.

4.5 Suspension of Deferral Contributions . Except as provided below, an election to make Deferral Contributions in a Plan Year shall be irrevocable on the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year. To the extent expressly permitted under Code Section 409A and regulations and rulings issued thereunder, a Participant’s deferral election shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence granted in accordance with Company policies; provided, however that such deferral election shall become fully operative as of the first day of the payroll period commencing coincident with or next following the Participant’s return to active employment following termination of the approved unpaid leave in the Plan Year to which the Participant’s deferral pertains. In the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, a Participant shall suspend deferrals in order to relieve the emergency, provided that the deferrals must be suspended for the entire

 

10


remainder of the applicable Plan Year. In the event of a Disability, the Participant may suspend deferrals by the later of the end of the taxable year of the Company in which the Disability arises, or the 15 th of the third month following the date that the Disability arises.

ARTICLE V

Accounts

5.1 Company Accounts . The Committee shall establish and maintain an individual bookkeeping account for each Participant, which shall be the Participant’s Company Account. A separate “Company Sub Account” may be maintained for each Participant for each Plan Year in respect of which Company Contributions are credited under the Plan for the benefit of the Participant. The Committee shall credit the amount of each Company Contribution made on behalf of a Participant to such Participant’s Company Account pursuant to Section 4.1 and 4.2. The Committee shall further debit and/or credit the Participant’s Company Account with any income, gain or loss based upon the performance of the Deemed Investments selected by the participant and any payments attributable to such account on a daily basis, or at such other times as it shall determine appropriate. The sole purpose of the Participant’s Company Account is to record and reflect the Company’s Plan obligations related to Company Contributions to each Participant under the Plan. The Company shall not be required to segregate any of its assets with respect to Plan obligations nor shall any provision of the Plan be construed as constituting such segregation.

5.2 Deferral Accounts . The Committee shall establish and maintain an individual bookkeeping account for each Participant, which shall be the Participant’s Deferral Account. A separate “Deferral Sub Account” may be maintained for each Participant for each Plan Year in respect of which Deferral Contributions are credited under the Plan for the benefit of the Participant. The Committee shall credit the amount of each Deferral Contribution made on behalf of a Participant to such Participant’s Deferral Account as soon as administratively feasible following the applicable deferral. The Committee shall further debit and/or credit the Participant’s Deferral Account with any income, gain or loss based upon the performance of the Deemed Investments selected by the Participant and any payments attributable to such Account on a daily basis, or at such other times as it shall determine appropriate. The sole purpose of the Participant’s Deferral Account is to record and reflect the Company’s Plan obligations related to Deferral Contributions of each Participant under the Plan. The Company shall not be required to segregate any of its assets with respect to Plan obligations, nor shall any provision of the Plan be construed as constituting such segregation.

5.3 Hypothetical Accruals to the Account . In accordance with procedures established by the Committee and subject to this Section 5.3, each Participant may designate the Deemed Investments with respect to which his or her Account shall be deemed to be invested. If a Participant fails to make a proper designation, then his

 

11


Account shall be deemed to be invested in the Deemed Investments designated by the Committee in its sole discretion. A Participant may change such designation with respect to future Company and Deferral Contributions, as well as amounts, already credited to his Account in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. A copy of any available prospectus or other disclosure materials for each of the Deemed Investments shall be made available to each Participant upon request. The Committee shall determine from time to time each of the Deemed Investments made available under the Plan and may change any such determinations at any time. Nothing herein shall obligate the Company to invest any part of its assets in any of the investment vehicles serving as the Deemed Investments.

5.4 Vesting of Company Account . A Participant’s vested percentage with respect to the Participant’s Company Account, adjusted by any income, gain or loss and any payments attributable thereto, shall be the lesser of i) twenty percent times the Participant’s Years of Participation, and ii) 100%. Except as provided in Section 5.5, upon Separation from Service or cessation of Plan participation, whichever is earlier, a Participant shall forfeit all amounts credited to his Account other than his Vested Account value determined as of the close of business coincident with or next following the date of such Separation from Service or cessation of Plan participation, as applicable, provided, however, that amounts not so forfeited shall continue to be debited and credited in accordance with Section 5.3 from and after Separation from Service.

5.5 Accelerated Vesting . The vesting provisions in Section 5.4 notwithstanding, each Participant shall have a Vested Percentage of 100% for his entire Account upon the soonest of the following to occur during the Participant’s employment with the Company: (i) the date of Separation from Service as a result of the Participant’s death or disability or termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, (ii) the Participant’s Disability, (iii) the Participant’s Retirement (if the Participant is not a Director), (iv) the date a Change in Control occurs, or (v) under such other circumstances as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. Each Participant who was a participant in the MII SERP on December 31, 2008 shall have a vested percentage of 100% with respect to amounts allocated to his Account that are attributable to amounts allocated to his MII SERP Account as of December 31, 2008 and future gains and losses thereon.

5.6 Vesting of Deferral Account . A Participant’s Vested Percentage with regard to his Deferral Account shall at all times be 100%.

5.7 Nature and Source of Payments . The obligation to make distributions under this Plan with respect to each Participant and any Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Plan shall constitute a liability of the entity within the Company which employed the Participant or for whom the Participant rendered services when the obligation was accrued, and no other entity shall have such obligation and any failure by a particular entity to live up to its obligation under this Plan shall have no effect on any other entity. All distributions payable hereunder shall be made from the general assets of the Company, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind between

 

12


the Company and any Participant or other person.

13


distribution; provided, however, that the payment, or first payment in the case of a series of payments, under the subsequent election shall be deferred to a date that is at least five (5) years after the date the Participant would have been eligible to receive, or begin receiving, the distribution under the prior election. To be effective, any such election must be in writing timely and received by the Committee, and cannot be effective for at least twelve months after the date on which the election is made. The requirement in this Section 6.3 that the first payment with respect to which any election thereunder applies must be deferred for at least five (5) years shall not apply to a payment on account of the Participant’s death, Disability or in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency.

6.3 Distribution on Account of Separation from Service or Disability .

6.4 Continuation of Hypothetical Accruals to the Vested Account After Commencement of Distributions . If any Vested Account of a Participant is to be distributed in a form other than a lump sum, then such Vested Account shall continue to be adjusted for hypothetical income, gain or loss and any payment or distributions attributable to the Vested Account as described in Section 5.1, and 5.2, until the entire Vested Account has been distributed.

6.5 Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution . In the event that the Committee, upon the written request of a Participant, determines in its sole discretion that such Participant has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency, as defined in Section 2.28, such Participant may be entitled to receive a distribution of part or all of the Participant’s Vested Account, in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (a) the amount determined by the Committee under Section 2.28, or (b) the value of such Participant’s Vested Account at the time of the emergency. Such amount shall be paid in a single lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable after the Committee has made its determination with respect to the availability and amount of such distribution; provided, however, that the payment shall not be made after the later of the end of the taxable year of the Company in which the Unforeseeable Emergency arises or the 15 th day of the third month following the date of the occurrence of the Unforeseeable Emergency.

6.6 Distribution on Account of Completion of a Fixed Deferral Period . At the time of a Participant’s election to participate in the Plan, the Participant may elect to receive the Distribution of a Participant’s Vested Account (established only in respect of the relevant Plan Year), or any applicable Vested Plan Year Company Sub-Account or Plan Year Deferral Sub-Account on the completion of a fixed deferral period elected by the Participant on forms provided by the Committee.

6.8 Limitation on Distributions to Certain Key Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent that a Participant is a Specified Person and the Participant’s distribution is on account of Separation from Service, distributions may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of the Separation from Service. Payments to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled during the six-month period described above shall be delayed and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after the date of his Separation from Service.

5.5 Nature and Source of Payments . The obligation to make distributions under this Plan with respect to each Participant and any Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Plan shall constitute a liability of the entity within the Company which employed the Participant or for whom the Participant rendered services when the obligation was accrued, and no other entity shall have such obligation and any failure by a particular entity to live up to its obligation under this Plan shall have no effect on any

 

12


other entity. All distributions payable hereunder shall be made from the general assets of the Company, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind between the Company and any Participant or other person. No special or separate fund shall be established nor shall any other segregation of assets be made to assure that distributions will be made under this Plan. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any interest in any particular asset of the Company by virtue of the existence of this Plan.

To the extent Plan distributions are payable in a form other than a single lump sum (e.g., installments), the Committee shall determine the methodology for computing such payments.

7.2 Delegation of Authority . The Committee may delegate any of its powers or responsibilities to one or more members of the Committee or any other person or entity.

7.3 Procedures . The Committee may establish procedures to conduct its operations and to carry out its rights and duties under the Plan. Committee decisions may be made by majority action. The Committee may act by written consent.

7.4 Compensation and Expenses . The members of the Committee shall serve without compensation for their services, but all expenses of the Committee and all other expense incurred in administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

7.5 Indemnification . The Company shall indemnify the members of the Committee and/or any person to whom the Committee has delegated authority in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof against the reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and appropriately incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal thereto, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) and against all amounts paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in a suit of final adjudication that such Committee member is liable for fraud, deliberate

 

15


dishonesty or willful misconduct in the performance of his duties or as to which any applicable statute prohibits the Company from providing indemnification; provided that within 60 days after the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a Committee member or delegate, as applicable, has offered in writing to allow the Company, at its own expense, to handle and defend any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Committee member or delegate to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 7.5, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws (each, as amended from time to time), as a matter of law, or otherwise.

ARTICLE VIII

Amendment and Termination

The Company retains the right to amend the Plan or to terminate the Plan at any time by action of the Board. No such amendment or termination shall adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to his right to receive a benefit in accordance with Article VI, determined as of the later of the date that the Plan amendment or termination is adopted or the date such Plan amendment or termination is effective, unless the affected Participant or Beneficiary consents to such amendment or termination. No amendment or termination of this Plan shall be made in a manner that results in noncompliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable.

ARTICLE IX

Miscellaneous

9.1 Plan Does Not Confer Right to Employment . Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the employment of the Company, to interfere with the rights of the Company to discharge any Participant at any time or to interfere with a Participant’s right to terminate his employment at any time.

9.2 Nonalienation and Nonassignment . Except for debts owed the Company by a Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with Section 9.5, no amounts payable or to become payable under the Plan to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, and any attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same by a Participant or Beneficiary prior to distribution as herein provided shall be null and void.

 

16


9.3 Tax Withholding . The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payments to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments. In addition, the Company shall have the right to deduct from any Participant’s base salary or other compensation any applicable employment taxes or other required withholdings with respect to a Participant.

9.4 FICA Withholding/Employee Deferrals/Company Contributions . If the Participant is an employee of the Company, for each payroll period, the Company shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Compensation that is not being deferred under this Plan, the Participant’s share of FICA and other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld with respect to (i) Employee Deferrals, (ii) Company Matching Contributions and (iii) Company Service Based Contributions as they vest and become subject to such FICA withholding. To the extent that there are insufficient funds to satisfy all applicable tax withholding requirements in a timely manner, the Company reserves the right to reduce the Participant’s Employee Deferrals, as required to provide available funds for applicable tax withholding requirements. To the extent there are still insufficient funds to satisfy all such applicable tax withholding requirements, the Participant shall timely remit cash funds to the Company sufficient to cover such withholding requirements.

9.5 Setoffs . As a condition to the receipt of any benefits hereunder, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require a Participant or Beneficiary to first execute a written authorization, in the form established by the Committee, authorizing the Company to offset from the benefits otherwise due hereunder any and all amounts, debts or other obligations, incurred in the ordinary course of the service relationship, owed to the Company by the Participant. Where such written authorization has been so executed by a Participant, benefits hereunder shall be reduced accordingly. The Committee shall have full discretion to determine the application of such offset and the manner in which such offset will reduce benefits under the Plan; provided, however, that the amount offset in any one taxable year does not exceed $5,000 and the offset is taken at the same time and in the same amount as the debt otherwise would have been due from the Participant, but only at the time that an amount is otherwise payable to a Participant under the Plan.

9.6 Number and Gender . Wherever appropriate herein, words used in the singular shall be considered to include the plural and words used in the plural shall be considered to include the singular. The masculine gender, where appearing in the Plan, shall be deemed to include the feminine gender unless the context plainly requires otherwise.

9.7 Headings . The headings of Articles and Sections herein are included solely for convenience, and if there is any conflict between such headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control.

9.8 Applicable Law . Except to the extent preempted by federal law, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the application of any conflicts of law.

9.10 Claims Procedure . The Committee shall have sole discretionary authority with regard to the adjudication of any claims made under the Plan. All claims for benefits under the Plan shall be submitted in writing, shall be signed by the claimant and shall be considered filed on the date the claim is received by the Committee. In the event a claim is denied, in whole or in part, the claims procedures set forth below shall be applicable.

Upon the filing of a claim as above provided and in the event the claim is denied, in whole or in part, the Committee shall within ninety (90) days, (forty five (45) days for disability related claims,) provide the claimant with a written statement which shall be delivered or mailed to the claimant to his last known address, which statement shall contain the following:

 

(a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial of benefits;

 

(b) a specific reference to the pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which the denial is based;

 

(c) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect his claim for benefits and an explanation of why such material and information is necessary; and

 

(d) an explanation of the review procedure provided below.

If special circumstances require additional time for processing the claim, the Committee shall advise the claimant prior to the end of the initial ninety (90) day or forty-five (45) day period, setting forth the reasons for the delay and the approximate date the Committee expects to render its decision. Any such extension shall not exceed ninety (90) days, or thirty (30) days for disability related claims.

Within ninety (90) days after receipt of the written notice of denial of a claim as provided above, a claimant or his authorized representative may request a review of the denial upon written application to the Committee, may review pertinent documents and may submit issues and comments in writing to the Committee. Within sixty (60) days (or forty-five days in the case of a disability related claim) after receipt of a written request for review, or within one hundred and twenty (120) days (or ninety days for disability related claims) in the event of special circumstances which require an extension of time for processing such application for review, the Committee shall notify the claimant of its decision by delivery or by Certified or Registered Mail to his last known address. The

 

18


decision of the Committee shall be in writing and shall include the specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which such decision is based. The Committee shall advise the claimant prior to the end of the initial sixty (60) day or forty-five (45) day period, as applicable, if additional time is needed to process such application for review. The decision of the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

9.11 Claims/Disputes . Any dispute or claim arising out of this Plan or the breach thereof, which is not settled under the Plan’s administrative claims procedure and which is pursued beyond such claims procedure, shall be brought in Federal District Court, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

9.12 Conduct Injurious to the Company . Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any and all benefits otherwise payable to any Participant hereunder attributable to Company Matching Contributions and Company Service Based Contributions, except to the extent of any prior distributions under the Plan, shall be forever forfeited if it is determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that such Participant has engaged in conduct injurious to the Company, including but not limited to the following:

 

(a) dishonesty while in the employ of the Company or while serving as a Director;

 

(b) imparting, disclosing or appropriating proprietary information for himself or to or for any other person, firm, corporation, association or entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except if required by law or at the Company’s direction;

 

(c) performing any act or engaging in any course of conduct which has or may reasonably have the effect of demeaning the name or business reputation of the Company; or

 

(d) providing goods or services to or becoming an employee, owner, officer, agent, consultant, advisor or director of any firm or person in any geographic area which competes with the Company in any phase of any of the business lines or services offered by the Company as of the Participant’s Retirement Date or the date the Participant ceases to be a Director.

9.13 Compliance with Code Section 409A . The Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid any adverse tax consequences resulting from any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code and, as a result, the Plan shall be operated in a manner consistent with such compliance. Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Plan, the Participant (and/or the Participant’s Beneficiary, as applicable) shall have no right to dictate the taxable year in which any payment hereunder that is subject to Section 409A of the Code should be paid.

9.14 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences . None of the Board, officers or employees of the Company, the Company or any affiliate of the Company makes any

commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any individual or person participating hereunder or eligible to participate hereunder.

9.15 Entire Agreement . This Plan document constitutes the entire Plan governing the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matters hereof and supercedes all prior written and oral and all contemporaneous written and oral agreements and understandings, with respect to the subject matters hereof.

Exhibit 10.15

DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2015 (this “ Agreement ”), is made by and between BWX Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and _______________________ (“ Indemnitee ”).

RECITALS :

A. Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the business and affairs of a corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its board of directors.

B. Pursuant to Sections 141 and 142 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, significant authority with respect to the management of the Company has been delegated to the officers of the Company.

C. By virtue of the managerial prerogatives vested in the directors and officers of a Delaware corporation, directors and officers act as fiduciaries of the corporation and its stockholders.

D. Thus, it is critically important to the Company and its stockholders that the Company be able to attract and retain the most capable persons reasonably available to serve as directors and officers of the Company.

E. In recognition of the need for corporations to be able to induce capable and responsible persons to accept positions in corporate management, Delaware law authorizes (and in some instances requires) corporations to indemnify their directors and officers, and further authorizes corporations to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of their directors and officers.

F. The Delaware courts have recognized that indemnification by a corporation serves the dual policies of (1) allowing corporate officials to resist unjustified lawsuits, secure in the knowledge that, if vindicated, the corporation will bear the expense of litigation and (2) encouraging capable women and men to serve as corporate directors and officers, secure in the knowledge that the corporation will absorb the costs of defending their honesty and integrity.

G. Delaware law also authorizes a corporation to pay in advance of the final disposition of an action, suit or proceeding the expenses incurred by a director or officer in the defense thereof, and any such right to the advancement of expenses may be made separate and distinct from any right to indemnification and need not be subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct or otherwise affected by the merits of any claims against the director or officer.

H. Recent federal legislation and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the national securities exchanges have imposed additional disclosure and corporate governance obligations on directors and officers of public companies and have exposed such directors and officers to new and substantially broadened civil liabilities.


I. These legislative and regulatory initiatives have also exposed directors and officers of public companies to a significantly greater risk of criminal proceedings, with attendant defense costs and potential criminal fines and penalties.

J. The authority of a corporation to indemnify and advance the costs of defense to its directors and officers applies to criminal proceedings as well as to civil, administrative and investigative proceedings.

K. Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company and his or her willingness to serve in such capacity is predicated, in substantial part, upon the Company’s willingness to indemnify him or her in accordance with the principles reflected above, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware, and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement.

L. Therefore, in recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with substantial protection against personal liability, in order to procure Indemnitee’s continued service as a director or officer of the Company and to enhance Indemnitee’s ability to serve the Company in an effective manner, and in order to provide such protection pursuant to express contract rights (intended to be enforceable irrespective of, among other things, any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (collectively, the “ Constituent Documents ”), any change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) or any change-in-control or business combination transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancement of Expenses (as defined in Section 1(e)) to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement and for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

M. In light of the considerations referred to in the preceding recitals, it is the Company’s intention and desire that the provisions of this Agreement be construed liberally, subject to their express terms, to maximize the protections to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder.

3. Advancement of Expenses. Indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by the Company prior to the final disposition of any Indemnifiable Claim of any and all Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim paid or incurred by Indemnitee or which Indemnitee determines are reasonably likely to be paid or incurred by Indemnitee. Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct and is not conditioned upon any prior determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to the Indemnifiable Claim or the absence of any prior determination to the contrary. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within five business days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses; provided that Indemnitee shall repay, without interest any amounts actually advanced to Indemnitee that, at the final disposition of the Indemnifiable Claim to which the advance related, were in excess of amounts paid or payable by Indemnitee in respect of Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim. In connection with any such payment, advancement or reimbursement, if delivery of an undertaking is a legally required condition precedent to such payment, advance or reimbursement, Indemnitee shall execute and deliver to the Company an undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (subject to Indemnitee filling in the blanks therein and selecting from among the bracketed alternatives therein), which need not be secured and shall be accepted by the Company without reference to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses. In no event shall Indemnitee’s right to the payment, advancement or reimbursement of Expenses pursuant to this Section 3 be conditioned upon any undertaking that is less favorable to Indemnitee than, or that is in addition to, the undertaking set forth in Exhibit A .

4. Indemnification for Additional Expenses. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business days of such request, any and all Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee or which Indemnitee determines are reasonably likely to be paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim made, instituted or conducted by Indemnitee, in each case to the fullest extent permitted or required by the laws of the State of Delaware in effect on the date hereof or as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted or required indemnification, reimbursement or advancement of such Expenses, for (a) indemnification or payment, advancement or reimbursement of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement, or under any other agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Indemnifiable Claims, and/or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company; provided , however , that Indemnitee shall return, without interest, any such advance of Expenses (or portion thereof) which remains unspent at the final disposition of the Claim to which the advance related.

 

5


5. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law in effect on the date hereof or as such law may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of permitted or required indemnification, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the payment of any and all Indemnifiable Claims or Indemnifiable Losses, in such proportion as is fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s); provided that such contribution shall not be required where it is determined, pursuant to a final disposition of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss in accordance with Section 8, that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification by the Company with respect to such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss.

6. Partial Indemnity. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Indemnifiable Loss, but not for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

7. Procedure for Notification. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss. If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is potentially available, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, and copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.

8. Determination of Right to Indemnification .

(a) To the extent that Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with Section 2 and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 8(b)) shall be required with respect to such Indemnifiable Claim.

 

6


(b) To the extent that the provisions of Section 8(a) are inapplicable to an Indemnifiable Claim that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim (a “ Standard of Conduct Determination ”) shall be made as follows: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board, (ii) if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by a majority vote of a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of all Disinterested Directors, or (iii) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or if Indemnitee so requests, by Independent Counsel, selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Board (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; provided , however , that if at the time of any Standard of Conduct Determination Indemnitee is neither a director nor an officer of the Company, such Standard of Conduct Determination may be made by or in the manner specified by the Board, any duly authorized committee of the Board or any duly authorized officer of the Company (unless Indemnitee requests that such Standard of Conduct Determination be made by Independent Counsel, in which case such Standard of Conduct Determination shall be made by Independent Counsel). Indemnitee will cooperate with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination, including providing to such person or persons, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business days of such request, any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination.

(c) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Standard of Conduct Determination required under Section 8(b) to be made as promptly as practicable. If (i) the person or persons empowered or selected under Section 8 to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall not have made a determination within 30 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of written notice from Indemnitee advising the Company of the final disposition of the applicable Indemnifiable Claim (the date of such receipt being the “ Notification Date ”) and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, and (ii) Indemnitee shall have fulfilled his or her obligations set forth in the second sentence of Section 8(b), then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person or persons making such determination in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluation or documentation and/or information relating thereto.

(d) If (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 8(a), (ii) no determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, or (iii) Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 8(b) or (c) to have satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law which is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, then the Company shall pay to Indemnitee, within five business days after the later of (x) the Notification Date in respect of the Indemnifiable Claim or portion thereof to which such Indemnifiable Losses are related, out of which such Indemnifiable Losses arose or from which such Indemnifiable Losses resulted and (y) the earliest date on which the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall have been satisfied, an amount equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses.

9. Presumption of Entitlement.

(a) In making a determination of whether Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, the Company acknowledges that a resolution, disposition or outcome short of dismissal or final judgment, including outcomes that permit Indemnitee to avoid expense, delay, embarrassment, injury to reputation, distraction, disruption or uncertainty, may constitute such success. In the event that any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or issue or matter therein is resolved or disposed of in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including any resolution or disposition thereof by means of settlement with or without payment of money or other consideration), it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of such Indemnifiable Claim or portion thereof or issue or matter therein. The Company may overcome such presumption only by its adducing clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

(b) In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, and the Company may overcome such presumption only by its adducing clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by Indemnitee in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim by Indemnitee for indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

(c) Without limiting the generality or effect of Section 9(b), (i) to the extent that any Indemnifiable Claim relates to any entity or enterprise (other than the Company) referred to in clause (i) of the first sentence of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim,” Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the interests of such entity or enterprise (or the owners or beneficiaries thereof, including in the case of any employee benefit plan the participants and beneficiaries thereof) and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, and (ii) in all cases, any belief of Indemnitee that is based on the records or books of account of the Company, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors or officers of the Company in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company, the Board, any committee of the Board or any director, or on information or records given or reports made to the Company, the Board, any committee of the Board or any director by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by or on behalf of the Company, the Board, any committee of the Board or any director shall be deemed to be reasonable.

 

8


10. No Adverse Presumption. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.

11. Non-Exclusivity. Pursuant to Article VI of the Company’s bylaws, the Indemnitee has certain indemnification rights. The rights provided to the Indemnitee under this Agreement will supplement and be in addition to the rights provided by Article VI of the Company’s bylaws and any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent Documents, or the substantive laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, “ Other Indemnity Provisions ”) as provided for by Section 6.11 of the Company’s bylaws; provided , however , that (a) to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity Provision, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder and (b) to the extent that any change is made to any Other Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided under this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder. The Company will not adopt any amendment to any of the Constituent Documents the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement or any Other Indemnity Provision.

12. Liability Insurance and Funding. For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company, and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible Indemnifiable Claim, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and/or officers of the Company that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials, and shall provide Indemnitee with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the same. Without limiting the generality or effect of the two immediately preceding sentences, the Company shall not discontinue or significantly reduce the scope or amount of coverage from one policy period to the next (i) without the prior approval thereof by a majority vote of the Incumbent Directors, even if less than a quorum, or (ii) if at the time that any such discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage is proposed there are no Incumbent Directors, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy. The Company may, but shall not be required to, create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means, including a letter of credit, to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations to indemnify and advance expenses pursuant to this Agreement.

 

9


13. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related rights of recovery of Indemnitee against other persons or entities (other than Indemnitee’s successors), including any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 1(g). Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required to evidence such rights (all of Indemnitee’s reasonable Expenses, including attorneys’ fees and charges, related thereto to be reimbursed by or, at the option of Indemnitee, advanced by the Company).

14. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (net of any Expenses incurred in connection therewith and any repayment by Indemnitee made with respect thereto) under any insurance policy, the Constituent Documents and Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise (including from any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 1(g)) in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

15. Defense of Claims. The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; provided that if Indemnitee believes, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such Indemnifiable Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall conclude that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, or (c) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any particular Indemnifiable Claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim to which Indemnitee is, or could have been, a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided that Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee.

16. Successors and Binding Agreement.

(a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including any person acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be deemed the “Company” for purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable or delegatable by the Company.

 

10


(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Indemnitee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, legatees and other successors.

(c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 16(a) and 16(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Indemnitee’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Indemnitee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 16(c), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.

17. Notices. For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications, including notices, consents, requests or approvals, required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof orally confirmed), or five business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or one business day after having been sent for next-day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) and to Indemnitee at the applicable address shown on the signature page hereto, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address will be effective only upon receipt.

18. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware.

19. Validity. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to make it enforceable, valid or legal. In the event that any court or other adjudicative body shall decline to reform any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the parties thereto shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to replace the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal with one or more alternative provisions that effectuate the purpose and intent of the original provisions of this Agreement as fully as possible without being invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal.

 

11


20. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Indemnitee and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. Subject to Section 11 hereof, this Agreement supersedes any prior written agreement between the parties concerning, related to or otherwise in connection with, the subject matter hereof.

21. Legal Fees and Expenses; Interest.

(a) It is the intent of the Company that Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees and or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise, including any Standard of Conduct Determination, because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, if it should appear to Indemnitee that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3) or in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, the Company irrevocably authorizes Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to advise and represent Indemnitee in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense, including the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents to Indemnitee’s entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the Company and Indemnitee agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between Indemnitee and such counsel. The Company will pay and be solely financially responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted or required by the laws of the State of Delaware in effect on the date hereof or as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted or required payment of such fees and expenses.

 

12


(b) Any amount due to Indemnitee under this Agreement that is not paid by the Company by the date on which it is due will accrue interest at the maximum legal rate under Delaware law from the date on which such amount is due to the date on which such amount is paid to Indemnitee.

22. Certain Interpretive Matters. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (a) “it” or “its” or words of any gender include each other gender, (b) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (d) the terms “ “Section” or “Exhibit” refer to the specified Section or Exhibit of or to this Agreement, (e) the terms “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” (whether or not so expressed), and (f) the word “or” is disjunctive but not exclusive. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number will refer to calendar days unless business days are specified and whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time or by a particular date that ends or occurs on a non-business day, then such period or date will be extended until the immediately following business day. As used herein, “business day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a United States federal holiday.

23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

The investment (including any Capital Contributions) will be as agreed between B&WMR and the New Member and set forth in its Subscription Agreement. Contemporaneously with any initial Capital Contributions by the New Member, the Company will distribute an amount equal to that Capital Contribution to B&WMR in accordance with Section 4.3(a) .

(d) Compromises .

The prior written consent of B&WMR is the only consent required with respect to any adjustment, modification, amendment or other compromise of any Capital Contributions made by New Members under Section 3.1(c) .

3.2 Additional Capital Contributions .

(a) Except as required under Section 3.1 or as a Member may agree in accordance with Section 3.2(b) , no Member will be required to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Company.

(b) In addition to investments required under Section 3.1 , the Board may determine from time to time that additional working capital is required and may cause the Company to request the Members to make additional Capital Contributions. In each case, the Company will first submit a written notice to each Member identifying the due date, the aggregate amount and the payment terms of the requested Capital Contribution (a “ Capital

 

3


Call ”). Each Member will have the right to invest its Share of the Capital Call (subject to increase for over subscription if some Members do not fully exercise their rights) on terms and conditions contained in the Capital Call. Not more than 10 Business Days after a Capital Call, each Member will notify the Company in writing (i) whether the member will contribute its Share of the Capital Call, and (ii) the maximum amount the Member would invest, if any, in excess of its Share (if one or more other Members do not participate in the Capital Call). If any Member does not invest its Share, then each Member who has elected to invest in excess of its Share (an “ Oversubscription Member ”) will have the right to invest an additional amount, up to the amount which the other Members elected not to invest, which additional investment will be allocated pro rata (in proportion to their Share) among all Oversubscription Members as required. No Member can be required to invest more than the amount it has specified. Members that participate in the Capital Call in an amount equal to their Share will maintain their Share after the Capital Call. Oversubscription Members will increase their Share based on the amount so oversubscribed and, subject to Section 3.2(c) , Members that do not participate in the Capital Call will have their Share decreased.

(c) If a Capital Call occurs prior to the completion of the First Tranche Investment, then (i) in no event will BNGP’s Share be decreased if BNGP elects in its sole discretion not to participate in the Capital Call and (ii) the amount invested by BNGP in connection with the Capital Call up to its Share will count as a payment towards BNGP’s First Tranche Investment, unless otherwise agreed by BNGP and B&WMR. BNGP’s Share will be increased in accordance with Section 3.2(d) in connection with a Capital Call that occurs prior to completion of the First Tranche Investment only if BNGP invests an amount in excess of its Share, in which case any amount invested in excess of its Share will not be counted as payments towards BNGP’s First Tranche Investment.

(d) The amount of the required increase or decrease in a Member’s Share under Section 3.2(b) will be determined as follows:

(i) the Board will determine the fair market value of the Company’s assets before taking into account any new Capital Contributions made in response to the Capital Call;

(ii) the Board will compute a “Special Sharing Amount” for each Member equal to the sum of (A) the product of the fair market value determined in Section 3.2(d)(i) and such Member’s Share prior to the required increase or decrease and (B) the amount of new Capital Contributions made by such Member in response to the Capital Call; and

(iii) each Member’s Share will be the percentage determined by dividing such Member’s Special Sharing Amount by the sum of all Members’ Special Sharing Amounts.

3.3 Withdrawal and Return of Capital; Interest on Capital . No Member has the right to withdraw any Capital Contributions, nor is any Member entitled to receive any interest on Capital Contributions or any portion thereof.

4. DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Limitations on Distributions . The Company will not make any distribution of cash, except to the extent that the Company then has cash or cash equivalents available in excess of the sum of (a) amounts required to pay or make provision for all Company expenses, plus (b) all reserves that are considered necessary or appropriate by the Board. To the extent that the Board reasonably foresees that the Company will receive cash or other consideration to satisfy liabilities not yet due and payable, the Company is not required to establish reserves or make other provision to satisfy the liabilities prior to making distributions under this Article 4 . Distributions of cash are only to be made to the extent cash or cash equivalents are available to the Company without requiring (i) the sale of Company assets or the pledge of Company assets at a time or on terms that the Board believes are not in the best interests of the Company or (ii) a reduction in reserves that the Board believes are necessary or desirable for working capital or other Company purposes. No Member has the right to receive a distribution of property other than cash.

4.2 Annual Distributions . Subject to the limitations of Section 4.1 , the Board will determine each year whether the Company has cash or cash equivalents in excess of the Company’s prudent working capital and liquidity needs (after giving effect to distributions described in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 ) and will distribute excess cash to the Members in proportion to their Share.

4.3 Special Distributions . The Company will make the following distributions from time to time:

(a) As and when any New Member makes a Capital Contribution to the Company pursuant to Section 3.1(c) , the Company will distribute an amount equal to that Capital Contribution to B&WMR.

(b) If BNGP makes an additional investment to true-up the First Tranche Investment as described in Section A.4(a) of Exhibit A , the Company will distribute an amount equal to the true-up payment to B&WMR in accordance with Section A.4(a) of Exhibit A .

(c) If any amount is due to BNGP to refund in-kind credit as described under Section A.4(b) of Exhibit A , the Company will distribute that amount to BNGP.

(d) As and when an installment of the Second Tranche Investment is made in accordance with Section A.6(b) of Exhibit A , the Company will distribute an amount equal to that installment to B&WMR in accordance with Section A.6(c) of Exhibit A .

4.4 Tax Payment Distributions .

(a) If the Board determines that the Company is expected to have taxable income for federal income Tax purposes in any Fiscal Year and the Board elects to make a distribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 , not more than thirty days after the end of each fiscal quarter in that Fiscal Year, the Company will distribute cash to the Members in proportion to the amount of taxable income allocated to each of them for that Fiscal Year. The amount to be distributed as tax payment distributions will be based on the maximum federal income tax rate

 

5


then applicable to corporations, increased by five percentage points or other rate as the Board determines is appropriate to account for expected state income Taxes net of the benefit of deducting such Taxes for federal purposes, initially 40%.

(b) Any distribution made to a Member under this Section 4.4 will be treated as having been distributed to that Member under the applicable provisions of Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 , and will reduce, dollar for dollar, the amounts to which that Member would otherwise be entitled under Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 , so that the cumulative amounts distributed to the Members under this LLC Agreement will be the same as the respective amounts that the Members would have received if no distributions had been made under this Section 4.4 .

4.5 Liquidating Distributions . If the Company is being wound up and liquidated in accordance with Section 17.2 , or if there is to be a merger, consolidation, conversion, sale of all or substantially all the Company’s assets or other similar transaction, then, subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 , all distributions to the Members will be made to all Members in accordance with the positive Capital Account balances of the Members as determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments for the Tax Partnership taxable year during which such liquidation occurs including the allocation of any Profit or Loss for that taxable year. A Member with a deficit in its Capital Account following the distribution of liquidation proceeds will have no obligation to restore the amount of the deficit balance to the Company, any Member or other Person. Distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.5 will only be made after any distributions required pursuant to Sections 4.3 or 4.4 have been made.

4.6 Withholding . The Company may withhold from any distribution made pursuant to this LLC Agreement, and may pay over to the appropriate federal, state or local Governmental Authority, any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Code or provisions of Applicable Law. All amounts withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence in connection with a distribution to any Member to satisfy a Tax imposed upon that Member will be treated as an amount distributed to that Member for all purposes of this LLC Agreement.

5. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

5.1 Financial Reporting and Nonfinancial Reporting Books. The Company will keep, or cause to be kept, financial reporting books on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied. The Company will maintain nonfinancial reporting books and Capital Accounts as required by Section 5.2 that are to be the basis for liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 4.5 . The Company will also maintain detailed books and records as required to complete and track the investments contemplated in Section 3.1 (and other accounts the Board determines are required to complete necessary project management controls in connection therewith) and so that it can comply with all Tax reporting obligations and other obligations set forth in Article 14 .

5.2 Capital Accounts .

(a) For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, the Company is a continuation of the Tax Partnership resulting from the JDA, under which each Member had a

 

6


Capital Account, and the Members intend for the initial Capital Account of each Member hereunder to be equal to the Capital Account of each Member under the JDA. This Section 5.2 and other provisions of this LLC Agreement relating to Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and they will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those Treasury Regulations.

(b) Each Member’s Capital Account will from time to time be increased by:

(i) the amount of money contributed by that Member to the Company and the amount of any Company liabilities which the Member assumes (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c));

(ii) the fair market value of property (as determined by the Board) contributed by that Member to the Company (net of any liabilities secured by the property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject or pursuant to Section 752 of the Code); and

(iii) allocations to that Member of Profits (or items of income or gain) under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 .

(c) Each Member’s Capital Account will from time to time be reduced by:

(i) the amount of money distributed to that Member by the Company (other than any amount distributed to BNGP under Section 4.3(c) ) and the amount of that Member’s liabilities which the Company assumes (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c));

(ii) the fair market value of property (as determined by the Board) distributed to that Member by the Company (net of any liabilities secured by the property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject or pursuant to Section 752 of the Code); and

(iii) allocations to that Member of Losses (or items of loss, deduction or expense) under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 .

(d) For avoidance of doubt:

(i) A Member’s Capital Account will not be increased in respect of any services rendered by that Member or its Affiliates or the value of any intellectual property rights provided to the Company;

(ii) amounts paid by BWNE to BPC under the BPC TSA (prior to its novation to the Company) will be regarded as a Capital Contribution by B&WMR to the Company and a payment by the Company to BPC for its services under the BPC TSA; and

(iii) B&WMR will be treated as having paid BWNE, on behalf of the Company, for the BWNE services outlined in the DOR and Development Budget (including related marketing, licensing interfacing, procurement, staffing, personnel, administrative and business development activities) that were performed prior to execution of the BWNE TSA, and as contributing the necessary funds to the Company.

 

7


(e) No Member is obligated to restore to the Company or to repay to the Company or to any other Person any portion or all of any debit Capital Account balance.

5.3 Revaluation of Company Property .

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Revaluation Event, the Board will revalue all Company property (whether tangible or intangible) for Capital Account purposes to reflect the Adjusted Fair Market Value of Company property immediately prior to the Revaluation Event. In the event that Company property is so revalued, the Capital Accounts of the Members will be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).

(b) Upon the distribution of Company property to a Member, if Company property is not revalued pursuant to Section 5.3(a) , the property to be distributed will be revalued for Capital Account purposes to reflect the Adjusted Fair Market Value of that property immediately prior to the distribution, and the Capital Accounts of all Members will be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e).

6. PROFITS AND LOSS ALLOCATION

6.1 Shares of the Company .

(a) “ Share ” means:

(i) with respect to BNGP, 10%, as may be adjusted after the Commencement Date in accordance with Section 3.2(b) (upward or downward based on participation in Capital Calls, subject in all cases to Section 3.2(c) ), Section A.5 of Exhibit A (downward for electing to cap the First Tranche Investment), Section A.6 of Exhibit A (upward for investing the Second Tranche Investment), and Article 15 (downward in the event of a Transfer by BNGP);

(ii) with respect to any other Member other than BNGP or B&WMR, the percentage set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreement or Joinder Agreement, as applicable, as may be adjusted after the date of the Subscription Agreement or Joinder Agreement, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.2(b) (upward or downward based on participation in Capital Calls) and Article 15 (downward in the event of a Transfer by the Member); and

(iii) with respect to B&WMR, the percentage equal to the sum of (x) 100%, minus (y) BNGP’s Share (calculated in accordance with Section 6.1(a)(i) ), minus (z) each other Member’s Share (calculated in accordance with Section 6.1(a)(ii) ).

(b) For purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, for each Fiscal Year or other relevant period, after making the allocations required by Section 6.2 , Profits and Losses will be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Share. To the extent any allocation of Losses to a Member would cause that Member to have a negative balance in its Adjusted Capital

 

8


Account at the end of a Fiscal Year, such Losses will be reallocated among the other Members, and allocations of Profits and Losses for future periods will be adjusted accordingly to offset (as nearly as possible) such reallocation.

(c) If during any Fiscal Year there is a change in any Member’s Share (including a complete termination of that Member’s interest), allocations for that year will take into account the varying Shares of the Members in any manner determined by the TRP consistent with the requirements of Section 706 of the Code. The TRP may, in its sole discretion, use a “pro rata” method under Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2) in making the allocations, or may instead, in its sole discretion, apply a “closing of the books” method.

(d) Each Member’s Share as of the Commencement Date is set forth opposite its name on Annex III . For administrative convenience, Annex III will be updated from time to time to reflect changes in each Member’s Share; however, any change in a Member’s Share shall be effective as and when determined under this LLC Agreement, not when Annex III is updated.

6.2 Special Allocations .

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6 , if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i), respectively) during the Fiscal Year, each Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for that year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to its respective share of the net decrease during that year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated will be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 6.2 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in the Treasury Regulations and will be interpreted consistently therewith, including that no chargeback will be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

(b) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain will be specially allocated to that Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by the adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible. An allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) will be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of that sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.2(b) have been tentatively made as if this Article 6 were not in this LLC Agreement.

(c) In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, each such Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible. An allocation pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) will be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of that sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 6 have been tentatively made.

 

9


(d) Nonrecourse Deductions will be specially allocated to the Members in proportion to their Shares.

(e) Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period will be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2.

(f) Any income attributable to the receipt or accrual of any financial assistance from the DOE or other U.S. Governmental Authority as described in Section B.4 of Exhibit B shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to B&WMR.

6.3 Allocation of Tax Items .

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6 , all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction will be allocated among the Members for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as the corresponding items were allocated under Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 .

(b) If the fair market value of an item of Company property differs from its Tax Basis, allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization, gain and loss with respect to that property will be made for federal income tax purposes to take account of the variation between the Tax Basis and fair market value of the property under Section 704(c)(1)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i). The TRP may select, in its discretion, any reasonable method or methods for making the allocations, including any method described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-3(b), (c), or (d).

7. MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

7.1 Governing Board; Alternates .

(a) The business and affairs of the Company will be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors (the “ Board ” and each member of the Board, a “ Director ”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Board will collectively by authorized action have all, and no Director individually will have any, of the rights and powers that are possessed by a manager pursuant to Section 18-402 of the Act, subject to the provisions of this LLC Agreement.

(b) An Alternate will have the full power to act as a Director designated by the Member that designated the Alternate. Any action by an Alternate will be final and binding upon the Member that designated that Alternate. Any action or inaction purported to be taken or action refrained from by an Alternate (including voting with respect to a particular matter (including matters set forth in Section 7.5 ), waiving notice of any meeting, and executing a written consent) will be deemed to be the action or inaction of a Director designated by the Member that designated the Alternate.

7.2 Composition . The Board will consist of no fewer than three Directors. The number of Directors and those designated by B&WMR will be increased from time to time by resolution of the Board in connection with the admission of new Members and as necessary so that the Directors designated by B&WMR will always constitute a majority of the Board, in each case

 

10


without the need to amend this LLC Agreement. The Directors and Alternates will be designated by individual Members as follows:

(a) B&WMR will at all times be entitled to designate a majority of the Directors and one Alternate for each director it is entitled to designate;

(b) for so long as BNGP is a Founder, it will be entitled to designate one Director and one Alternate; and

(c) other Members (subject to Section 7.2(a) ) may designate individuals to the Board as determined by B&WMR.

7.3 Term; Vacancies . Each Director and Alternate will hold office until his or her resignation, removal, death or incapacity. Each Director and Alternate will hold office at the pleasure of the Member that designated that Director. A Director or Alternate may be removed at any time, for any reason or no reason, by written notice by the Member that designated that individual delivered to the other Members. If a Member is no longer entitled to designate an individual to serve on the Board, the Director(s) and Alternate(s) previously designated by that Member may be removed at any time, for any reason or no reason, by the Board (excluding the vote of the subject individuals). If a vacancy occurs on the Board or in the position of Alternate for any reason, the vacancy will be filled by the written designation of the Member entitled to fill the vacancy. The Board will promptly notify the Members of any changes to the individuals designated as Director or Alternate.

7.4 Required Approval by the Board . Subject to the limitations imposed by the Act and Sections 7.5(a) and 9.12 , the following decisions and actions will be vested exclusively in the Board or, as delegated by the Board, a committee of the Board:

(a) distributions under Sections 4.2 and 4.4 ;

(b) Capital Calls pursuant to Section 3.2(b) ;

(c) adoption of or changes in policies relating to governance of the Company or other Company policies;

(d) retention, termination and compensation of those Officers who are employees of the Company;

(e) issuing material debt or entering into obligations for money borrowed;

(f) changes in accounting principles, methods or practice, changes in the Fiscal Year or changes in the taxable year or any material method of tax accounting;

(g) except as otherwise set forth in the Development Budget, any material expenditures or commitments to make a material sum of funds available;

(h) entry into material contracts or material amendments to material contracts, including Customer Contracts; and

 

11


(i) creation of or material changes to employee benefit plans or programs.

7.5 Negative Controls .

(a) For so long as BNGP is a Founder (except in the case of actions subject to Section 7.5(a)(i) , which will require approval of BNGP for so long as it is a Member), the following actions can only be taken if approved by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, including the Director designated by BNGP:

(i) (y) deployment of any Plant or (z) the submission of a proposal or negotiation of a Customer Contract, in each case for a Plant that would be located in a jurisdiction that does not have an Acceptable Nuclear Liability Regime;

(ii) transactions that would cause B&WMR or its Affiliates to have, in the aggregate, less than a 51% Share in the Company, prior to BNGP satisfying its obligations with respect to the First Tranche Investment and the Second Tranche Investment;

(iv) admission of a New Member not in accordance with Section C.4 of Exhibit C ;

Neither the Board nor any committee of the Board may take, and B&WMR will not take, action to authorize the Company to take any action that is subject to the approval requirements of Section 7.5(a) unless the Director designated by BNGP gives the required approval.

 

12


(c) General business development activities that have not reached the level of specificity described in Section 7.5(a)(i) in a jurisdiction that does not have an Acceptable Nuclear Liability Regime are not subject to the negative control provisions of Section 7.5(a)(i) .

7.6 Meetings . The Board will meet at least annually and at any other times as the Board determines. Meetings will be held at the Company’s principal place of business or at any other place as the Board determines. Special meetings of the Board may be called by the CEO or by any Director. B&WMR will designate a Chairperson of the Board (the “ Chairperson ”) from among the Directors designated by B&WMR. The Chairperson will preside, or delegate another Director to preside in the event the Chairperson is unable to attend the meeting, over each meeting of the Board. Each Alternate and one senior manager designated by each Founder in writing to the Board (as may be changed from time to time by written notice to the Board) will be permitted to attend Board meetings as guest attendees, except for such portions of a meeting when the Board elects to meet in executive session without any guests.

7.7 Agenda and Notice of Meetings . The Chairperson will provide a written notice at least three Business Days prior to any meeting of the Board, which will state the place, date and time for the meeting, as well as the proposed agenda and anticipated permitted attendees for the various agenda items for that meeting.

The Chairperson will be responsible for preparing the final agenda after this Director input.

7.8 Waiver of Notice of Meeting . The requirement to receive notice of a meeting may be waived by any Director either before or after the meeting and will be waived by any Director participating in the meeting unless objection to the notice is made by the Director at the start of the meeting. Failure to specify a particular subject or purpose in the notice of a meeting will not invalidate any action otherwise properly authorized. A waiver by the BNGP Director with respect to a specific meeting and specific subjects to be reviewed or acted upon at that meeting or a specific agenda for that meeting will also constitute a waiver of the quorum requirement as to Board action taken at that meeting with respect to the matters identified in the waiver.

7.9 Telephonic Meetings . Any meeting of the Board may be held by conference telephone or other communication equipment so long as all members participating in the meeting can hear and be heard by one another. All members participating by telephone or other communication equipment will be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

7.10 Required Vote; Quorum . Each Director will be entitled to cast one vote with respect to any decision to be made by the Board. Subject to Section 7.5(a) , any decision to be made by the Board or a committee of the Board will require the affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum. The presence of a majority of the Directors then in office, including in all cases the BNGP Director (if BNGP has a Director on the Board) and a sufficient number of B&WMR Directors so that the B&WMR Directors constitute a majority of the quorum, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board. Except as otherwise set forth in the charter or Board Resolutions forming the committee, the presence of a majority of the Committee Members will constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at any meeting of that committee of the Board including, in all cases in which BNGP is affiliated with an individual Committee Member, at least one BNGP Committee Member.

 

13


7.11 Action by Written Consent .

(a) Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is executed and delivered by all the Directors then in office. Any unanimous written action will be effective immediately unless otherwise set forth in the written action.

(b) If the Board is unable to convene because of a lack of quorum or unable to take timely action under Section 7.11(a) , any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is executed and delivered by those Directors whose vote would be required to approve the action at a meeting. Action by the Board under this Section 7.11(b) is only effective if all Directors have received a complete written description of the action to be taken at least five Business Days prior to the execution date of the consent for the action. During the five Business-Day period, any Director will have the right to call a meeting of the Board to discuss the proposed action, and no written consent will be valid until the meeting has taken place.

7.12 Compensation and Reimbursement . Directors will not be compensated by the Company for services rendered in their capacity as Directors. The Company may reimburse the Directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that the Directors may incur in connection with the performance of their duties as Directors.

Individuals affiliated with B&WMR will constitute a majority of the members of any committee of the Board. Subject to the terms of the Board resolution forming the committee, or its charter approved by the Board, any committee created by the Board may be dissolved or its members removed or replaced by the Board at any time.

7.14 Waiver of Conflict of Interest .

(a) Directors and Committee Members that are affiliated with a Member will serve as representatives of that Member and will owe no fiduciary duties to the Company or the other Members; provided, that in the absence of a conflict of interest between a Member and the Company, it is intended that a Director or Committee Member will act in the best interests of the Company. The Company and each Member hereby waives, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, any claim or cause of action against (i) any other Member and its Affiliates, (ii) any Director designated by or at the direction of any other Member, or (iii) any Committee Member affiliated with any other Member, in either case for any breach of fiduciary duty to the Company by that Member, any of its Affiliates, or the Director or Committee Member affiliated with that Member as a result of a conflict of interest between the Company and the Member that designated that Director or that is affiliated with that Committee Member or any of its Affiliates.

(b) In the event of any conflict of interest, each Member, any of its Affiliates, or a Director or Committee Member may act in the best interest of the Member that designated the Director or that is affiliated with the Committee Member. This Section 7.14(b) entitles a

 

14


Member and its Affiliates to prefer the interests of the Member over the interests of the Company or any other Member but does not permit (i) action taken solely to harm the Company or another Member or (ii) any breach of this LLC Agreement or any other agreement between the Member or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or another Member, on the other, that relates to the Program or the Company.

(c) No Director or Committee Member will be obligated to reveal confidential or proprietary information belonging to the Member that designated that Director or that is affiliated with the Committee Member (or to that Member’s Affiliates), without the consent of that Member. No Director or Committee Member will be obligated to recommend or take any action in that Person’s position as a Director or Committee Member that prefers the interests of the Company over the interests of a Member or any of its Affiliates, and each other Member, Director and the Company hereby waives the fiduciary duty, if any, owed it or the Company of that person in the event of any such conflict of interest.

7.15 Management of Subsidiaries . The provisions of this LLC Agreement relating to the management and control of the business and affairs of the Company, and the respective rights and duties of, and restrictions on the Board and the Members with respect thereto will also be construed to be fully applicable to the management and control of any subsidiary of the Company.

12. EXCLUSIVITY

12.1 General. Except as otherwise agreed in writing that expressly references this Article 12 by the Member who or whose Affiliate is protected by the exclusivity set forth in this Article 12 , the Company and each Member will, and each will cause each of its Affiliates to, adhere to the terms of this Article 12 .

(a) For so long as BNGP maintains a Share in the Company equal to or greater than the First Tranche Profits Interest, the Company and B&WMR will not, and each will cause their respective Affiliates not to, solicit or engage any architecture, engineering or contractor firm other than BPC, BDC and their Affiliates to (i) develop, market or sell nuclear-fueled power plants constructed using a steam-generating light water SMR of 300 MWe or less per module, (ii) perform modifications or upgrades to work previously performed by BPC or its Affiliates under its scope of work set forth in the DOR, or (iii) perform, or support performance of, any portion of the BPC Exclusive Scope with respect to any plant described in clause (i).

(b) The Company and BNGP will not, and each will cause their respective Affiliates not to, solicit or engage any other steam-generating, light water SMR designer or manufacturer other than BWNE and its Affiliates to (i) develop, market or sell nuclear-fueled power plants constructed using a light water SMR of 300 MWe or less per module, (ii) perform modifications or upgrades to work previously performed by BWNE or its Affiliates under its scope of work set forth in the DOR, or (iii) supply, or support supply of, the NSSS or NSSS Extended Scope with respect to any plant described in clause (i).

(c) The activities described in Sections 12.2 through 12.5 of this Article 12 will not violate or breach the Company’s or a Member’s obligations under this Section 12.1 .

12.2 Government Contracts . Members or their Affiliates may each perform work under contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government except in an agency’s capacity as a potential Customer.

12.3 Other Nuclear Technologies . BPC or its Affiliates may, in the normal course of its business, work on proposals and projects involving the evaluation for Third Parties of multiple reactor technologies, which may potentially include light water SMR technologies other than the technology that is the subject of the Program.

12.4 Competing Proposals . If a potential customer of a Member, an Affiliate of a Member, or the Company is considering developing or utilizing nuclear technologies for a nuclear-fueled power plant, any Member (or their Affiliates) may have proposal or project team(s) proposing a technology solution that is not steam-generating light water SMR but each team will be independent of the team supporting the Company. In that event, any Member with teams supporting competing proposals will ensure that reactor technology-specific information, related design information and other confidential information known to one proposal or project team is “fire-walled” from each other proposal or project team, and not disclosed outside the proposal or project team, except for management review and approval activities and cost-estimation activities (as clarified below), which will be conducted for each proposal or project independently of and without reference to other proposals and projects. In completing the

 

22


competing proposal, the project teams may not use any Confidential Information of another Member, the Company or their respective Affiliates or otherwise be in violation of this Article 12 or Exhibit F . For the sake of clarity it is understood that, within BPC the assembly of the estimate for each competing proposal will be performed by a project estimator assigned specifically to that proposal effort such that the aggregate estimate information will be “fire-walled”, but that BPC may assign discipline estimators to work across competing proposals for their respective disciplines.

12.5 Customer Preference . (a) If a prospective Customer desires to select a constructor other than BPC or one of its Affiliates for a Plant, then the Company may accommodate that prospective Customer’s preference only after FNTPs have been issued for four Plants under each of which BPC or one of its Affiliates has been engaged as the full EPC Subcontractor, and then only if:

(i) BPC has been given a reasonable opportunity, jointly with the Company, to engage directly with the prospective Customer to obtain the prospective Customer’s approval for BPC or one of its Affiliates to perform the work; and

(ii) the Company has used all reasonable efforts to secure the prospective Customer’s agreement to the selection of BPC or one of its Affiliates, including arrangement of a meeting among executive management of the prospective Customer, BWNE and BPC.

(b) If the conditions in this Section 12.5 are met and the potential Customer ultimately selects a constructor other than BPC or one of its Affiliates, then BPC or its Affiliates will perform site specific engineering and all other EPC-related services with respect to the Plant not designated by the Customer to be performed by the other constructor, and the Generic Design Fee will be payable to BNGP (or its designated Affiliate) even if BPC or its Affiliates is not engaged as the constructor for that Plant.

(a) To/For The Benefit of Affiliates . A Member is permitted at any time to Transfer all or a portion of its Membership Interests to one or more Affiliates so long as they remain Affiliates and, in the case of B&WMR, to lenders of BWNE or its Affiliates to effect a pledge of or security interest in B&WMR’s Membership Interests.

(b) To Non-Affiliates . Subject to Section 15.4 , a Member (other than BNGP) is entitled to Transfer all or a portion of its Membership Interests to one or more Persons if:

(i) the terms of the Transfer are disclosed to the Board and to BNGP for it to evaluate whether a negative control pursuant to Section 7.5(a) applies;

(ii) BNGP waives its negative control right set forth in Section 7.5(a) (if applicable); and

(iii) the Person to whom the Membership Interests are Transferred executes a Subscription Agreement.

(c) BNGP Transfers to non-Affiliates . Subject to Section 15.4 , BNGP is entitled to Transfer all or a portion of its Membership Interests to one or more Persons if the Second Tranche Investment has been paid in full and the Person to whom the Membership Interests are Transferred executes a Joinder Agreement.

(i) violate the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, or any other applicable provision of law in any respect;

(ii) require registration of the Membership Interests under the Securities Act in connection with the Transfer;

(iii) result in the Company having to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or

(iv) cause the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for purposes of the federal income tax laws.

15.4 Duty of First Offer . (a) Subject to Section 15.4(b) , if any Member (a “ DOFO Member ”) proposes to Transfer its Membership Interests pursuant to Section 15.2(b) or Section 15.2(c) to a non-Member or non-Affiliate (a “ First Offer Transaction ”), the DOFO Member will, prior to pursuing any First Offer Transaction, notify the other Members of its intention to pursue a First Offer Transaction (the “ First Offer Transaction Notice ”). The other Members will have the right, but not the obligation, to submit a proposal to purchase their pro rata share (based on that Member’s Share compared to all other Members’ Share other than the Share of the DOFO Member) or more (i.e., oversubscribe) of the Membership Interests subject to the First Offer Transaction (the “ First Offer Proposal ”) within twenty days following receipt of the First Offer Transaction Notice. The First Offer Proposal will include the price and other material terms the non-DOFO Member is prepared to offer. If a Member that is entitled to make a First Offer Proposal elects not to do so, those Members that have elected to make a First Offer Proposal may offer to purchase such additional eligible shares on a pro rata basis. The DOFO Member may elect to accept some or all of the First Offer Proposals. If the DOFO Member elects not to accept the First Offer Transaction Proposals (or has Membership Interests subject to the First Offer Transaction remaining that were not purchased in connection with First Offer Proposals), the DOFO Member may enter into a First Offer Transaction with any Person if the terms and conditions of any such Transfer are not any less favorable to the DOFO Member than the terms and conditions set forth in any First Offer Proposal. The First Offer Transaction will be consummated within 180 days following the date of the First Offer Proposals, and if not, any subsequent First Offer Transaction will be subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 15.4(a) . Nothing in this Section 15.4(a) will require the DOFO Member to enter into any First Offer Transaction under any circumstances.

(b) B&WMR is only required to comply with Section 15.4(a) if, following the proposed Transfer, B&WMR’s Share would be less than 51% (unless the proposed Transfer is in connection with an Initial IPO approved by BNGP under Section 9.12 or otherwise or any subsequent Transfer to public shareholders under a registered offering).

15.5 BNGP Tag-Along Right .

(a) If B&WMR proposes to Transfer its Membership Interest pursuant to Sections 15.2(b) (other than a Transfer in connection with an Initial IPO or any subsequent Transfer to public shareholders under a registered offering) and after the Transfer B&WMR or its Affiliates’ Share would be less than 51%, then at least thirty days prior to effecting the

 

29


Transfer, B&WMR will give BNGP written notice of the proposed Transfer. The notice will set forth the Membership Interests to be Transferred by B&WMR, the name and address of the proposed transferee, the purchase price and that the proposed transferee has been informed of the tag-along right granted to BNGP under this Section 15.5 . BNGP will then have the right, exercisable by written notice to B&WMR, to participate in the sale, on the same terms and conditions as B&WMR, by selling up to its full ownership interest in the Company, on substantially the same terms (including with respect to representations and warranties and indemnification) as B&WMR.

(b) If the proposed transferee does not agree to purchase BNGP’s Membership Interests directly from BNGP on the same terms and conditions as specified in the notice given under Section 15.5(a) , then B&WMR will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase BNGP’s Membership Interests, solely for the purpose of selling those Membership Interests to the proposed transferee on the terms set forth in the notice. If the proposed transferee does not elect to acquire BNGP’s Membership Interests (either directly or indirectly) subject to this tag-along right, B&WMR may not transfer its interests to that proposed transferee in a transaction that would result in B&WMR or its Affiliates Share being less than 51%.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, B&WMR may elect to give rights to other Members to participate in a sale when B&WMR is selling all or a portion of its Membership Interest, subject in each case to the restrictions set forth in this Article 15 .

15.6 B&WMR Drag-Along Right .

(a) Subject to Section 15.6(d) , if B&WMR agrees to sell all of its Membership Interests to a Third Party (a “ Drag-Along Sale ”), it has the right to require each other Member to Transfer its Membership Interests. B&WMR must give the other Members not less than ten days prior written notice describing in reasonable detail the proposed Drag-Along Sale as to which it intends to exercise its rights under this Section 15.6 , including the consideration to be paid and the name and address of the Third Party purchaser.

(b) Each Member, if B&WMR elects to exercise its rights under Section 15.6 , will (i) take any action as may be reasonably requested by B&WMR in connection with consummating the transaction; (ii) vote in favor of, consent to and raise no objections against the transaction or the process pursuant to which the transaction was arranged; (iii) waive any dissenter’s, appraisal and other similar rights; (iv) sell such Member’s Membership Interests on the non-price terms and conditions of the transaction as negotiated by B&WMR; and (v) execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested by B&WMR in connection with the transaction, including written consents of Members, proxies, letters of transmittal, purchase agreements and limited liability company interest powers. If B&WMR agrees to escrow any amounts of proceeds resulting from a transaction or to accept indebtedness or other securities, or is subject to indemnification or other rights of offset, then each Member will be required to accept the same terms.

(c) Each Member is only required to comply with Section 15.6(b) if B&WMR bears its proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and make such representations, warranties and covenants as are customary.

 

30


(d) BNGP is only required to comply with Section 15.6(a) and 15.6(b) if (i) it is no longer a Founder, (ii) the only representations and warranties it is required to make are authority to accomplish the sale and its ownership of the interests being sold, and (iii) the consideration that BNGP would receive reflects its Share of the aggregate consideration received in the transaction less any Control Premium associated with the acquisition of B&WMR’s Membership Interest. The “ Control Premium ” is the additional amount an arms-length purchaser is willing to pay in order to have control over the management of the affairs of the Company over the amount the purchaser would have paid if it did not obtain control over the Company as part of its purchase, as acknowledged by the purchaser in writing.

15.7 General Provisions .

(a) Each transferor under this Article 15 will reimburse or cause the reimbursement of the Company for all the Company’s reasonable out-of-pocket expense relating to the Transfer, including all attorney’s fees, filing fees and similar expenses.

(b) If the Board determines that a proposed Transfer under this Article 15 would, alone or in conjunction with one or more other Transfers, terminate the partnership that is the Company for federal income Tax purposes, the proposed Transfer can be delayed until the earliest time, as determined by the Board that the Transfer may occur without causing a termination of the partnership that is the Company for federal income Tax purposes. If at any time more than one Transfer is being delayed under this Section 15.7(b) , the Transfers are to be made in the order in which the Board received notice of the proposed Transfer. If a Transfer or attempted Transfer causes a termination of the partnership that is the Company for federal income Tax purposes, the Member making the Transfer or attempted Transfer is to be liable to the Company and each of the other Members for any Taxes, fines, penalties, damages, or losses which may be due as a result of the termination, including costs of enforcement of the Company’s power to void or otherwise prohibit the Transfer or attempted Transfer.

(c) No Transfer in compliance with this LLC Agreement, even if the transferee is a Member or is admitted as a Member, will release the transferor or former Member from those liabilities to the Company existing at the time of the transfer which survive the Transfer.

15.8 Unauthorized Transfers Void . Any attempt by a Member, directly or indirectly, to Transfer, or offer to Transfer, any Membership Interests or any interest therein or any rights relating thereto without complying with the provisions of this Article 15 , will be void and of no effect. Any involuntary Transfer by operation of law will entitle the transferee to the economic interest represented by the Membership Interests that were the subject of the Transfer but the transferee will not be a Member and will not have any rights under this LLC Agreement.

16. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AMONG THE MEMBERS

16.1 Limitations on Liability . No Member or any of its Affiliates will be liable to the Company, another Member, or any of their respective Affiliates for any consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or indirect damages, lost profits, or other business interruption damages in connection with the Program.

(b) The payment of any amounts due to BNGP in accordance with this Exhibit D will be made as soon as reasonably and commercially practicable following BNGP’s Date of Withdrawal and in no event later than 30 days after the Date of Withdrawal, except as provided in Section D.8(c) .

(c) If the Fair Value of BNGP’s Interest is being determined under Section D.11 , then B&WMR will pay BNGP $125,000,000 within 30 days after the Date of Withdrawal. The remainder of the withdrawal payment (being the total withdrawal payment less the $125,000,000 already paid) will be paid to BNGP as soon as reasonably and commercially practicable following final determination of the Fair Value of BNGP’s Interest under Section D.11 , but in no event later than 180 days following that determination. If the remainder of the withdrawal payment is not paid within 60 days following the Date of Withdrawal, the amount outstanding will accrue interest at the following rates, in each case not to exceed the highest per annum interest rate allowed by Applicable Law and subject to the sentence immediately following this sentence: (i) for the period between 60 and 90 days following the Date of Withdrawal, the Prime Rate plus 3% per annum; (ii) for the period between 90 and 120 days following the Date of Withdrawal, the Prime Rate plus 4% per annum; (iii) for the period between 120 and 150 days following the Date of Withdrawal, the Prime Rate plus 5% per annum; and (iv) for the period between 150 days following the Date of Withdrawal and the payment of the remainder of the withdrawal payment, the Prime Rate plus 6% per annum. If the Fair Value of BNGP’s Interest is not determined by the 60th day following the Date of Withdrawal, each of the time periods referenced in the immediately preceding sentence will be delayed day for day until that determination is made. By way of example, if the Fair Value of BNGP’s Interest is determined on the 75th day following the Date of Withdrawal, the time period in clause (i) above would be the period between 75 and 105 days following withdrawal.

(d) B&WMR may pay the withdrawal payment directly to BNGP or cause the Company to pay the withdrawal payment as a redemption of BNGP’s interest in the Company. The structure of the payment will not reduce the amounts payable to BNGP in accordance with this Exhibit D , and any alternative consideration other than cash will be approved or rejected by B&WMR and BNGP in their sole discretion.

under any Customer Contract, any B&W Subcontract, any EPC Subcontract, or any other subcontract under a Customer Contract. Notwithstanding BNGP’s Withdrawal from the Company in accordance with this Exhibit D or the transfer of all of its Membership Interests in accordance with Article 15 of the LLC Agreement, the Surviving Provisions of the LLC Agreement will survive and continue in full force and effect with respect to BNGP following the Withdrawal.

(i) B&WMR or its Affiliate, as applicable, will provide BNGP with a notice of its intent to revive or continue the Program and, subject to BNGP executing a confidentiality agreement in a form acceptable to B&WMR, a summary, in reasonable detail, of the plans to reconstitute the Program, its proposed development and deployment schedule, any likely changes in design since the Program Termination Date, and a preliminary program budget.

(ii) BNGP will notify B&WMR within 60 days after receipt of the notice and summary provided to it by B&WMR or its Affiliate, as applicable, and receipt of the information reasonably requested under Section D.10(a)(i) whether it elects to participate in the reconstituted Program. The 60-day review period will commence once B&WMR has responded with the information reasonably requested by BNGP under Section D.10(a)(i) .

(b) If BNGP notifies B&WMR or its Affiliate, as applicable, within the 60-day period that BNGP or its Affiliate elects to participate in the reconstituted Program, then B&WMR or its Affiliate and BNGP will mutually work to reconstitute the Program and promptly execute and deliver an operating agreement of a jointly owned special purpose Delaware limited liability company (or amend the LLC Agreement, if practicable), with the agreement to contain substantially the same terms as the LLC Agreement as prior to the Program Termination Date, including with respect to exclusivity, reflecting the changes described in Section D.10(a)(i) .

(c) If (A) BNGP notifies B&WMR or its Affiliate, as applicable, within the 60-day period provided in Section D.10(a)(ii) that it elects not to participate in the continued development and deployment of the Program, or (B) BNGP fails to provide notice of any decision whether to elect to participate in a reconstituted Program within that 60-day period, or (C) in the case where BNGP Withdraws from the Company under Section D.2 , BNGP does not agree to invest an amount equal to the payment received by BNGP under Section D.2(b) in the reconstituted Program as part of the reconstitution, then B&WMR or its Affiliate may develop and deploy the Program without BNGP, BPC, BDC, or any of their Affiliates.


D.11 Determination of Fair Value of BNGP’s Interest .

(a) If (i) BNGP Withdraws from the Company under Section D.3(a) or Section D.4(a) , and (ii) the First Tranche Investment has been contributed in full, and (iii) BNGP has not provided B&WMR an irrevocable written statement that it has elected to receive the fixed $125,000,000 withdrawal payment under Section D.3(c)(ii)(2) or Section D.4(c)(ii)(2) , as applicable, in lieu of a determination of the Fair Value of BNGP’s Interest under this Section D.11 , then immediately following the Date of Withdrawal, BWNE’s and BDC’s respective Chief Financial Officers or equivalent senior executives will work for 30 days in good faith to mutually agree on the Fair Market Value of the Company as of the Date of Withdrawal (the “ Valuation Date ”). If BWNE and BDC executives fail to reach an agreement on the Fair Market Value of the Company as of the Valuation Date during their 30-day determination period (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Chief Financial Officers), B&WMR will select and identify to BNGP an Appraiser (the “ First Appraiser ”) and BNGP will select and identify to B&WMR an Appraiser (the “ Second Appraiser ”) no later than 10 days after the end of the determination period. The date when both Appraisers have been identified and retained will be the “ Start Date .” B&WMR and BNGP will cooperate, and cause their Affiliates to cooperate, with any Appraisers appointed under this Section D.11 and share with each Appraiser all information relevant to a valuation of the Company as of the Valuation Date, including that information described in Section D.11(c) , and subject to the confidentiality restrictions in Section D.11(c) . On or before the 20th day after the Start Date, the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser will each determine its preliminary view of the Fair Market Value of the Company in accordance with the criteria set forth in the definitions of those terms in the LLC Agreement, and will consult with each other with respect to their respective preliminary values. On or prior to the 60th day after the Start Date, the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser will each render to BWNE and BDC their written reports on the Fair Market Value of the Company.

(b) If the higher Fair Market Value determined under Section D.11(a) (the “ High Value ”) is not more than 115% of the lower Fair Market Value determined under Section D.11(a) (the “ Low Value ”), then the Fair Market Value will be the average of the High Value and the Low Value. If the High Value is more than 115% of the Low Value, then, not more than 15 days after the reports, the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser will together designate a third Appraiser that is independent from B&WMR, BNGP and their respective Affiliates (the “ Third Appraiser ”). The Third Appraiser will not, as of the time of selection, be engaged by, or on behalf of, either B&WMR, BNGP or any of their respective Affiliates, or have previously been engaged by or on behalf of the either B&WMR or BNGP within the last 36 months unless expressly disclosed to and approved by B&WMR or BNGP, as applicable, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Third Appraiser will make a determination of the Fair Market Value of the Company and deliver its written report to BWNE and BNGP (the “ Third Value ”) not more than 30 days after the Third Appraiser is designated. If the Third Value is within the middle one-third of the range of values between the High Value and the Low Value (the “ Mid-Range ”), then the Fair Market Value will be the Third Value. If the Third Value does not fall within the Mid-Range, then the Fair Market Value will be the average of (i) the Third Value and (ii) either (A) the High Value or (B) the Low Value, whichever is closest to the Third Value. In no event will the Fair Market Value be less than the Low Value nor greater than the High Value. The determination of the Fair Market Value under this Section D.11(b) will be final and binding on B&WMR and BNGP and their respective Affiliates.


(c) Promptly following the engagement of each Appraiser under this Section D.11 , each Appraiser will enter into a nondisclosure agreement with B&WMR, the Company and BNGP. B&WMR, the Company and BNGP will provide each Appraiser with written instructions regarding the preparation of its determination of the Fair Market Value of the Company, including a copy of the pertinent provisions of the LLC Agreement. The Company will provide each Appraiser with (i) the Company’s most recent consolidated financial statements, (ii) the most recent financial forecast for the Company and, if before the Design Completion Date, the Development Budget, (iii) a management presentation with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) such other relevant information reasonably requested by an Appraiser for the determination of Fair Market Value. Each Appraiser will receive identical information under this Section D.11(c) , except that the Third Appraiser will also receive copies of the written reports of the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser described in Section D.11(a) .

(d) All fees, expenses and disbursements of each Appraiser will be the responsibility of the party that engaged that Appraiser. All fees, expenses and disbursements of the Third Appraiser will be shared equally by B&WMR and BNGP.

(e) The “ Fair Value of BNGP’s Interest ” to be paid to BNGP in connection with BNGP’s Withdrawal from the Company under Section D.3(a) or Section D.4(a) , if required under Section D.3(c)(ii)(1) or Section D.4(c)(ii)(1) , is the amount equal to the sum of (i) the Capital Account of BNGP, plus (ii) the product of (x) BNGP’s Share in the Company multiplied by (y) the difference between (A) the total value of the Company as determined under this Section D.11 minus (B) the total Capital Accounts of all members in the Company. This amount will be paid in accordance with Section D.8 .

D.12 Indemnification Provisions for BPC-Affiliated Persons . Promptly after receipt by a BPC-Affiliated Person entitled to indemnification under Section D.7(b) of any claim or notice of the commencement of any action, administrative or legal proceeding, or investigation as to which any indemnity provided for in Section D.7(b) may apply, the BPC-Affiliated Person will notify B&WMR and the Company in writing of that fact, which will include, to the extent known, the facts constituting the basis for the claim. B&WMR or the Company may, upon written notice to the BPC-Affiliated Person, assume the defense thereof with counsel designated by B&WMR or the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the BPC-Affiliated Person. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither B&WMR nor the Company will be entitled to assume control of the defense of any claim if, in the BPC-Affiliated Person’s good faith judgment: (1) it is advisable for the BPC-Affiliated Person to be represented by separate counsel because a conflict or potential conflict exists between either B&WMR or the Company and the BPC-Affiliated Person; (2) there are defenses that are available to the BPC-Affiliated Person that are likely to conflict with those available to B&WMR or the Company; or (3) the claim involves the potential imposition of a criminal or quasi criminal liability on the BPC-Affiliated Person or the remedy sought in the claim is an injunction, restraining order, declaratory relief or other non-monetary relief against the BPC-Affiliated Person that is separate and distinct from any similar liability asserted with respect to B&WMR or the Company. If B&WMR or the Company is not entitled to assume the defense of a claim, the BPC-Affiliated Person will be entitled to control and assume responsibility for the defense of the claim at the cost and expense of B&WMR and the Company (to the extent such costs and expenses are reasonable). During the pendency of


any matter to which any indemnity provided in Section D.7(b) may apply, the BPC-Affiliated Person will retain authority to approve any and all communications with, and to prevent the submission of any documents to, any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the matter, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, except that the BPC-Affiliated Person will be responsible for any additional delay or incremental costs associated with this review. Without the prior written consent of the BPC-Affiliated Person, neither B&WMR nor the Company will enter into any settlement of any claim for Damages which would lead to liability, impose injunctive or other equitable relief or would create any financial or other obligation on the part of the BPC-Affiliated Person. B&WMR or the Company may accept any settlement without the consent of the BPC-Affiliated Person if the settlement imposes no obligation on a BPC-Affiliated Person and the settlement provides a complete release to the BPC-Affiliated Person and no requirement that the BPC-Affiliated Person acknowledge fault or culpability. Each Party will cooperate in the defense of any claim and will furnish such records, information and testimony as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, in each case at the expense of B&WMR and the Company (to the extent the expenses are reasonable).

D.13 B&WMR Right to Cause Withdrawal of Other Members .

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in a Member’s Subscription Agreement or Joinder Agreement, B&WMR has the right to cause any Member other than B&WMR or BNGP (the “ Other Member ”) to Withdraw from the Company in accordance with this Section D.13 .

(b) If the Program is Terminated under Section D.1(a) or Section D.2(a) , the Other Member’s rights as a Member and under the LLC Agreement will immediately cease, the Other Member will be considered to have Withdrawn from the Company, and its Membership Interests will be automatically and immediately forfeited to the Company, without any action on the part of the Company or the Other Member.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in a Member’s Subscription Agreement or Joinder Agreement, if there has been:

(i) a material breach of a material provision of the LLC Agreement by an Other Member or any of its Affiliates, or a material breach of a material provision of any agreement between the Other Member or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and the Company or any subcontractor to the Company on the other hand, after that Other Member has received notice of that breach and has been given a reasonable opportunity to cure that breach; or

(ii) a Change of Control of any Other Member or an Affiliate of the Other Member that results in direct or indirect control of that Other Member or its Affiliate by a Person (or an Affiliate of that Person) that is a B&WMR Competitor or a BPC Competitor, or that poses a Reputational Risk to the Company, the Program, B&WMR, BNGP or their respective Affiliates,

then the Other Member and its Affiliates will immediately lose all rights as a Member and any rights under the LLC Agreement (including information rights, Board representation or observation rights, loss of any exclusivity rights and other benefits of a Member), except that the Member will retain the economic interest represented by its Membership Interest as an assignee (as such term is used in Section 18-702 of the Act).


(d) In addition, if there has been a breach or a Change of Control described in Section D.13(c) , the Other Member who breached or that underwent a Change of Control (or a Member who had an Affiliate that breached or that underwent a Change of Control) will immediately make the payment and take the actions as may be set forth in that Member’s Subscription Agreement or Joinder Agreement, as applicable.

(e) Unless otherwise expressly set forth in the applicable agreement, the Withdrawal from the Company by the Other Member does not, in and by itself, terminate any agreement between the Other Member or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and the Company or any subcontractor to the Company on the other hand, other than the LLC Agreement.

D.14 Exclusive Remedy and Sole Liability .

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Exhibit D , if any Member Withdraws from the Company, no Member or the Company will be obligated to make any payment to any other Member or the Company based on the Termination of the Program or the withdrawing Member’s Withdrawal from the Company. Each Member expressly disclaims any right to seek Damages from the other Members or the Company based on the Termination of the Program or the withdrawing Member’s Withdrawal from the Company.

(b) If a Member Withdraws from the Company under this Exhibit D , the provisions of this Exhibit D are the exclusive remedy to that Member for any breach of the LLC Agreement that occurred prior to the Date of Withdrawal (other than breaches of Exhibit F that were not known to that Member on that Date of Withdrawal). Following a breach or default by a Member that triggers withdrawal rights under this Exhibit D , that Member will not be deemed to continue to be in default or breach so long as it remains in compliance with the provisions of this Exhibit D .

[End of Exhibit D]


EXHIBIT E

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In accordance with Section 17.1 of the Generation mPower Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated February 28, 2011 (the “ LLC Agreement ”) to which this Exhibit is attached, Disputes will be addressed in accordance with this Exhibit E . Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Exhibit have the meanings given to those terms in the LLC Agreement. References to “Sections” mans sections of this Exhibit, unless otherwise specified.

E.1 General Intent of the Parties . Any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, causes of action, controversies or disputes between or among (i) the Company, (ii) a Member or its Affiliates and (iii) another Member (or Members) or their Affiliates relating to the Company or the Program (such parties, the “ Dispute Parties ”) arising out of or in any way relating to the LLC Agreement, the TSAs, or any Secondment Agreement or any other agreement that expressly references this Exhibit E for resolution of any disputes between the parties thereto (the “Subject Agreements” ) (but not the Guarantees or any Customer Contract, EPC Subcontract or B&W Subcontract if the disputed matter involves the Customer) (each a “ Dispute ”) will be addressed in accordance with the procedures of this Exhibit E . Any Dispute Party may seek a preliminary injunction or other provisional judicial remedy if the action is necessary to prevent irreparable harm or preserve the status quo, in which case the Dispute Parties nonetheless will continue to pursue resolution of the Dispute by means of the procedure set forth in this Exhibit E .

E.2 Management Negotiations .

(a) If a Dispute is not resolved in the normal course of business, the Dispute Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy utilizing the following procedure. Any Dispute Party may give the other Dispute Parties written notice of the existence of a Dispute. Within 30 days after delivery of the notice, the Dispute Party receiving the notice will submit to the disputing Dispute Party a written response (the date such response is deemed received pursuant to the notice provisions of the applicable Subject Agreement, the “ Response Date ”). The notice and the response will include (i) a statement of the Dispute Party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position and (ii) the name and title of the executive who will represent the Dispute Party in the negotiations (the “ Executive(s) ”) and the name and title of any other Person who will accompany the executive.

(b) Within 10 Business Days of the Response Date, the Executives will establish a mutually acceptable location and date, which date will not be greater than 20 Business Days from the Response Date, to meet. After the initial meeting date, the Executives will meet or otherwise confer, as often and in accordance with such schedule as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by the Dispute Parties to each other will be honored.

(c) All communication and writing exchanged between the Dispute Parties related to the exchanges and discussions under this Section E.2 are for settlement purposes only and are confidential and will be deemed to be settlement negotiations and subject to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any similar applicable state law or rule and will not be used or referred to in any subsequent binding adjudicatory process between the Dispute Parties.


E.3 Mediation . If a Dispute is not resolved within 60 days of the Response Date, or if the Dispute Party receiving a notice or a response pursuant to Section E.2(a) , refuses to or does not meet within the 60-day period, except as such deadline may be extended by agreement between the Executives, then any Dispute Party may initiate a request for non-binding mediation of the Dispute under the JAMS International Mediation Rules. The place of mediation will be New York, New York. The Dispute Parties will agree upon a mediator within 20 days after referral of the Dispute to non-binding mediation. If the Dispute Parties cannot agree on a mediator within the 20-day period, a mediator will be selected by JAMS. Compensation of the mediator and other mediation fees, costs, and expenses assessed by JAMS will be borne equally by the Dispute Parties. Each Dispute Party will otherwise pay for its own costs incurred to participate in the mediation.

E.4 Litigation . In the event the Dispute Parties are unable to reach a resolution of a Dispute utilizing the procedures described in Section E.2 or E.3 , then an aggrieved Dispute Party may proceed with litigation in any court of competent jurisdiction including as set forth in Section E.7 .

E.5 Waiver of Jury Trial . Each Member, on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby waives the right to trial by jury with respect to any action relating to or arising out of or in connection with the Subject Agreements.

E.6 Continuation of Joint Development . If any Dispute is being resolved pursuant to this Exhibit E , except for the matter in Dispute, the Dispute Parties will continue to exercise their remaining respective rights and fulfill their remaining respective obligations under the Subject Agreements.

E.7 Jurisdiction . Each Member hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the jurisdiction of any Delaware state court in connection with any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to the Subject Agreements, or the transactions contemplated thereby. With respect to any Delaware state court, each Member hereby waives and agrees not to assert in any actions or proceedings, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) any claim of lack of personal jurisdiction; (ii) immunity from any legal process with respect to it or its property; (iii) that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (iv) that the venue of the suit is improper.
