WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS: LICENSOR is the owner of or has the right to grant a license
in the above-identified LICENSED INVENTIONS.
WHEREAS: LICENSEE desires to obtain a nonexclusive license in the
above-identified LICENSED INVENTIONS.
WHEREAS: The licensing of said LICENSED INVENTIONS under the terms provided
herein is determined to be in the public interest and is in accordance with
the policy of the regulations on licensing of government-owned inventions, 37
C.F.R. Part 404, as promulgated under the authority of Section 208 of Pub. L.
96-517, (35 U.S.C. 208) and 10 C.F.R. Part 781.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the
mutual covenants and obligations hereinafter contained, and other good and
valuable consideration, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
2
1. LICENSOR hereby grants to LICENSEE and LICENSEE hereby accepts, subject to the terms and
conditions herein recited, a non-exclusive license to the LICENSED INVENTIONS (as specified herein)
for the LICENSE TERM (as specified herein) solely for the purposes specified by the SCOPE OF
LICENSE.
2. LICENSEE agrees to carry out the plan for development, using and/or marketing of the LICENSED
INVENTIONS as provided for in the June 17, 2002 Agreement, and thereafter to continue to make the
benefits of the LICENSED INVENTIONS reasonably accessible to the public through the production
and/or sales of uranium enrichment or enriched uranium products utilizing the LICENSED INVENTIONS.
3. For the sole purpose of operating facilities within the U.S. and in accordance with the June 17,
2002 Agreement, this LICENSE may extend to subsidiaries that are controlled by the LICENSEE, but it
is not assignable or otherwise transferable without approval of LICENSOR in writing, which approval
will not be withheld unreasonably. No request will be approved unless, at a minimum, the assignee
or transferee is a U.S. company that is a successor of that part of
the LICENSEE’s business to
which the LICENSED INVENTIONS pertain, and the U.S. Company meets applicable FOCI, security
clearance, and facility clearance requirements. If LICENSEE extends this LICENSE to a subsidiary,
LICENSEE shall promptly notify the LICENSOR in writing. Subject to
LICENSOR’s approval in writing,
LICENSEE may grant sublicenses in the LICENSED INVENTIONS.
4. LICENSEE agrees that any centrifuge machines and major components thereof embodying the LICENSED
INVENTIONS or produced through the use of the inventions will be manufactured substantially in the
United States and that any enrichment of uranium performed using centrifuge machines embodying the
LICENSED INVENTIONS will be performed in the U.S.
5. LICENSEE shall submit periodic written reports, annually within 30 days of the anniversary date
of this LICENSE, and such other reports as reasonably requested by the LICENSOR, on its efforts to
bring the LICENSED INVENTIONS to a point of practical application, with particular reference to the
Milestones set forth in the June 17, 2002 Agreement, and the extent to which the LICENSEE
thereafter continues to make the benefits of the inventions reasonably accessible to the public.
Subject to compliance with this paragraph, LICENSEE may satisfy these reporting requirements
through the reporting requirements in Article 3 of the June 17, 2002 Agreement with a copy to
LICENSOR pursuant to Paragraph 18 of this LICENSE.
6. ROYALTY PROVISIONS:
The LICENSEE agrees to pay to the LICENSOR the royalty amount specified in Exhibit B hereto.
At the request of the LICENSEE, LICENSOR will consider in good faith a request by LICENSEE to
modify the royalty payments due under this LICENSE based
3
on a substantial change in business or market conditions. Additionally, upon written request by
USEC, not later than sixty days before royalty payments become due and payable, DOE may approve a
request to adjust the royalties due under the LICENSE in any given year: (1) where third parties
assert a claim for patent infringement against USEC, the alleged infringement necessarily arises
out of the practice of the DOE-owned licensed inventions and USEC incurs costs in defending against
such claim; or (2) where USEC owes royalties to third parties for use of third party-owned patents
that are necessary for the practice of the DOE-owned licensed inventions. Except as provided in
this Section 6 there shall be no other royalty, fee, or other charge or cost due or payable by
LICENSEE for this LICENSE or for the use of the LICENSED INVENTIONS or data provided under this
LICENSE.
7. LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR, on or before April 1 of each year, any royalty or other payments
due and payable under this Agreement for use of the LICENSED INVENTIONS during the preceding
calendar year. LICENSEE shall keep true books of account containing an accurate record of all data
necessary for the computation of any fees payable under this LICENSE, and shall render to LICENSOR
annually, on or before April 1 of each year, an accurate statement of performance under the
LICENSE, whether or not royalties, other than the annual fees, are due and payable under the
LICENSE. Such a statement shall be in writing, showing in reasonable detail the identification of
SWU produced using the LICENSED INVENTIONS and sold during the previous year. The statement shall
include the computation of the license fees and royalties due and payable. LICENSEE shall from time
to time permit the LICENSOR, by its authorized representative, to examine the books of account of
LICENSEE to such an extent as may be reasonably necessary for LICENSOR to determine the accuracy of
any such statement.
8. LICENSEE shall promptly report to LICENSOR any change in mailing address, name, or company
affiliation during the period of this LICENSE, and LICENSEE shall promptly report any decision to
discontinue producing enriched uranium or providing uranium enrichment using centrifuge machines
embodying the LICENSED INVENTIONS in the U.S.
9. LICENSOR makes no warranty or representation as to the validity or patentability of any LICENSED
INVENTIONS or that the exercise of this LICENSE will not result in the infringement of any
patent(s), nor shall LICENSOR assume any liability whatsoever resulting from the exercise of this
LICENSE.
10. LICENSOR makes no representations, extends no warranties of any kind, either express or
implied, and assumes no responsibilities whatever with respect to manufacture, use, sale, or other
disposition by LICENSEE, or its vendees or transferees, of products incorporating or made by use of
LICENSED INVENTIONS.
11. LICENSEE will indemnify and hold harmless LICENSOR for any liability arising
4
from activity under this LICENSE by LICENSEE, its agents, employees or contractors at any tier. In
the event of any inconsistency between this indemnification provision and any provision in the
lease by the LICENSEE of the DOE facilities used by the LICENSEE for its centrifuge plant using the
LICENSED INVENTIONS then the provisions of the lease will govern.
12. The grant of this LICENSE or anything related thereto shall not be construed to confer on any
person any immunity from or defenses under the antitrust laws or from a charge of patent misuse,
and the acquisition and use of rights pursuant to this LICENSE shall not be immunized from the
operation of State or Federal law by reason of the source of the grant.
13. Nothing contained in this LICENSE shall be interpreted to give to LICENSEE any rights with
respect to any invention(s) other than the LICENSED INVENTIONS.
14. If the LICENSE involves application(s) for Letters Patent, LICENSOR makes no representation or
warranty that Letters Patent will issue on such patent application(s).
15. Subject to the notice and cure provisions in Paragraphs 17 and 20, this LICENSE may be
terminated by LICENSOR in whole or in part (a) if DOE determines that LICENSEE is not complying
with Article 3 of the June 17, 2002 Agreement, and that, in accordance with the terms of the June
17, 2002 Agreement DOE terminates the June 17, 2002 Agreement, (b) for failure to make any payments
or periodic reports required by this LICENSE, (c) for willfully making a false statement or willful
omission of a material fact in the LICENSE application which resulted in this LICENSE or in any
required report, (d) for substantial breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or (e)
if DOE determines that such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use as specified by
Federal regulations issued after the date of this LICENSE, and such requirements are not reasonably
satisfied by the LICENSEE. The Parties agree that the construction and operation of a uranium
enrichment facility in accordance with the June 17, 2002 Agreement reasonably satisfy the
requirements for public use.
16. This LICENSE is contingent on LICENSEE having a valid authorization to have access to
Classified Information. It is LICENSEE’S duty to safeguard all Classified Information, special
nuclear material (SNM), and Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations. LICENSEE shall, in accordance with applicable DOE or NRC security
regulations and requirements, be responsible for safeguarding all Classified Information, UCNI, and
for protection against sabotage, espionage, loss and theft, of the classified documents and
material in LICENSEE’S possession in connection with the performance of work under this License.
Except as otherwise expressly provided, LICENSEE shall, upon termination of the June
17, 2002 Agreement, or upon permanent cessation of the operations of any facility that
incorporates the LICENSED INVENTIONS, transmit to DOE or dispose in accordance
with applicable DOE or NRC regulations any classified matter or UCNI in the
LICENSEE’S possession or in the possession of any person under LICENSEE’S control
5
in connection with performance under this LICENSE. Failure to comply with applicable laws and
regulations governing the safeguard of classified information, SNM, or UCNI may result in
termination of this LICENSE.
17. Before terminating this LICENSE, in whole or in part, for any cause, LICENSOR shall furnish
LICENSEE a written notice of LICENSOR’S intention to terminate this LICENSE, with reasons
therefore, and LICENSEE shall be allowed sixty (60) days from the date of the mailing of such
notice to remedy any breach of any term or condition referred to in the notice, or to show cause
why the LICENSE should not be so terminated.
18. Notices. In order to be effective, any notice, demand, offer, response, request or other
communication made with respect to this LICENSE must be in writing and signed by the Party
initiating the communication and must be hand-delivered or sent by registered letter, telefax or by
a recognized overnight delivery service that requires evidence of receipt, to the addresses
