Pursuant to Part 1, Section H.04 of the Contract, USEC and TENEX hereby agree as follows:

approval by Rosatom and the signing thereof by the Parties. The purchase price set forth in
Section 1 of this Amendment shall be paid by USEC for all of the SWU component of LEU subject to
delivery to USEC of LEU in accordance with the adjusted CY2009 Delivery Order.
SECTION 3. In the event that this Amendment enters into force and effect, the Parties shall
use their good faith efforts to reach agreement, not later than March 15, 2009, on a new price
determination methodology for the SWU component of the LEU to be delivered to USEC under the
Contract pursuant to USEC delivery orders for the period from, and including, CY2010 through the
remaining term of the Contract, and shall use their best efforts to promptly secure the approval or
endorsement by the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the United States of
America of an amendment to the Contract incorporating such methodology.
SECTION 4. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Contract shall remain unchanged and in
full force and effect.
SECTION 5. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

the Parties under this Amendment shall arise and the Parties shall be bound by the obligations and
entitled to the rights as set forth in this Amendment upon and as of the first day by which (i) the

of America, is authorized to sign this Amendment (or confirmation that the approval of the U.S.
Government is not required) has been obtained from the U.S. State Department as the authorized
agency of the U.S. Government. TENEX shall notify USEC as soon as such approval or endorsement of
the Government of the Russian Federation or its authorized agency(ies) has been obtained and USEC
shall notify TENEX as soon as such written confirmation has been obtained from the U.S. State
Department. Each Party shall use its best efforts to secure, as soon as possible, the approval,
