Item	Item Description	Quantity	Additional Item Information
00001	Title to Transferred Property	42 completed Centrifuge Machines and associated items on Attachment 1	Model AC100 and items on Attachment 1 See Item listing Attachment 1

B.2	Consideration and Payment

The contract is to acquire Centrifuge Machines and associated items that are part of the American Centrifuge Cascade Demonstration Test Program located at Piketon Ohio (“CDTP”). All Centrifuge Machines provided under this contract shall meet high-level specifications set forth in Drawing AC100 Machine Assembly 1005000 by no later than September 30, 2012, and shall be deemed to be “as is, where is” when they meet this standard

Contractor sale of Transferred Property contained in clause B.1 above (item 00001) shall be supported by the following consideration: (i) DOE’s making all of the Transferred Property available for no additional fee as GCEP Leased Personalty pursuant to section 3.2 of the GCEP Lease; and (ii) DOE’s transferring to the lessee under the GCEP Lease (including its successors or assigns) title to all of the Transferred Property purchased pursuant to Section B.1 (item 00001) upon the earlier of (a) completion of the “Commercial American Centrifuge Plant annual capacity at 1 million SWU per year” milestone in the June 2002 Agreement or (b) financial closing on the financing for the construction and completion of the American Centrifuge Plant which is the commercial plant being constructed by the borrower using USEC’s American Centrifuge Technology in Piketon, Ohio, that will produce low enriched uranium using AC100 Centrifuge Machines that, when complete, will have an estimated capacity of 3.5 million SWU per year. In the event that Contractor abandons (constructively or formally) the advanced enrichment technology deployment project and USEC (or its successor, assign, or designee) returns the Leased Premises under the GCEP Lease prior to meeting the “Commercial American Centrifuge Plant annual capacity at 1 million SWU per year” milestone in the June 2002 Agreement, DOE agrees to accept responsibility for removal and/or disposal of all radiological contamination of the Transferred Property and disposal of the Transferred Property, and only those items, permitting the United States Enrichment Corporation (or its successor, assign or designee) to leave the Transferred Property, and only those items, in place in an “as is, where is” condition, and Contractor agrees, if title to the Transferred Property has reverted to Contractor or its designee, to transfer title back to DOE. For purposes of the use and transfer of title to Transferred Property pursuant to (i) and (ii) above, USEC shall be an intended third party beneficiary thereof and shall have the right to enforce such provisions as if it were a party hereto.

Transfer of Transferred Property that is designated as High Risk or Trigger List property shall be subject to the GCEP Lessee’s or the appropriate end user’s submission of appropriate information to be evaluated as an end user of High Risk property and approval of the GCEP Lessee’s or the appropriate end user’s receipt of the High Risk Property, as defined in 41 CFR Subpart 109-1.53 and by the means set out in DOE O 580.1A, by appropriate officials within DOE. Both the lease and the transfer of the Transferred Property shall be subject to the following Export Restriction Notice, as required by 41 CFR § 109-1.5303:

EXPORT RESTRICTION NOTICE

The use, disposition, export and reexport of this property are subject to all applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq. ); the Export Administration Act of 1979 (560 U.S.C. Append 2401 et seq. ); Assistance to Foreign Atomic Energy Activities (10 CFR part 810); Export and Import of Nuclear Equipment and Material (10 CFR part 110); International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 et seq. ); Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR part 730 et seq. ); Foreign Assets Control Regulations (31 CFR parts 500 et seq. ); and the Espionage Act (37 U.S.C. 791 et seq. ) which among other things, prohibit:

a. The making of false statements and concealment of any material information regarding the use or disposition, export or reexport of the property; and

b. Any use or disposition, export or reexport of the property which is not authorized in accordance with the provisions of this contract.

Through intercompany agreements with its affiliates, the Contractor acknowledges that it will have the beneficial use of the Transferred Property leased or transferred to the United States Enrichment Corporation (or its successor, assign or designee) pursuant to this Section B.2 and that such beneficial use is of value to Contractor. Beneficial use of the Transferred Property shall not authorize Contractor access to, or possession or utilization of the Transferred Property unless and until the Contractor receives a Facility Clearance and a favorable Foreign Ownership, Control and Influence (FOCI) determination by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and complies with all other applicable legal requirements for such access, possession, or utilization.

The Contractor shall accept the foregoing as complete satisfaction of DOE’s compensation obligations.

Option Items 10001 & 10002 - Option to Purchase Centrifuge Machines and Items of Facility

The Contracting Officer may unilaterally exercise all or part of these option items within the effective term of the contract.

All Equipment transferred pursuant to this clause B.3 shall be purchased and delivered “as is, where is” and the Contractor shall not be required to ship or store any Equipment transferred hereunder.

DOE exercise and purchase of Option Items 10001 and 10002 shall be supported by the following consideration: (i) DOE’s making the Transferred Option Property available for no additional fee as GCEP Leased Personalty pursuant to section 3.2 of the GCEP Lease; and (ii) DOE’s transferring to the lessee under the GCEP Lease (including its successors or assigns) title to all of the Transferred Option Property purchased pursuant to Section B.3 (items 10001 and 10002) upon the earlier of (a) completion of the “Commercial American Centrifuge Plant annual capacity at 1 million SWU per year” milestone in the June 2002 Agreement or (b) financial closing on the financing for the construction and completion of the American Centrifuge Plant which is the commercial plant being constructed by the borrower using USEC’s American Centrifuge Technology in Piketon, Ohio, that will produce low enriched uranium using AC100 centrifuge machines that, when complete, will have an estimated capacity of 3.5 million SWU per year. In the event that Contractor abandons (constructively or formally) the advanced enrichment technology deployment project and USEC (or its successor, assign or designee) returns the Leased Premises under the GCEP Lease prior to meeting the “Commercial American Centrifuge Plant annual capacity at 1 million SWU per year” milestone in the June 2002 Agreement, DOE agrees to accept responsibility for removal and/or disposal of all radiological contamination of the Transferred Option Property and disposal of the Transferred Option Property, and only those items, permitting the United States Enrichment Corporation (or its successor, assign or designee) to leave the Transferred Option Property, and only those items, in place in an “as is, where is” condition, and Contractor agrees, if title to the Transferred Option Property has reverted to Contractor or its designee, to transfer title back to DOE. For purposes of the use and transfer of title to Transferred Option Property pursuant to (i) and (ii) above, USEC shall be an intended third party beneficiary thereof and shall have the right to enforce such provisions as if it were a party hereto.

Transfer of Transferred Option Property that is designated as High Risk or Trigger List property shall be subject to the GCEP Lessee’s or the appropriate end user’s submission of appropriate information to be evaluated as an end user of High Risk property and approval of the GCEP Lessee’s or the appropriate end user’s receipt of the High Risk Property, as defined in 41 CFR Subpart 109-1.53 and by the means set out in DOE O 580.1A, by appropriate officials within DOE. Both the lease and the transfer of the Transferred Option Property shall be subject to the following Export Restriction Notice, as required by 41 CFR § 109-1.5303:

EXPORT RESTRICTION NOTICE

a. The making of false statements and concealment of any material information regarding the use or disposition, export or reexport of the property; and

The Contractor shall accept the foregoing as complete satisfaction of DOE’s compensation obligations under Option Items 10001 and 10002. Beneficial use of the Transferred Option Property shall not authorize Contractor access to, or possession or utilization of the Transferred Option Property unless and until the Contractor receives a Facility Clearance and a favorable FOCI determination by NRC , and complies with all other applicable legal requirements for such access, possession, or utilization.

H.14 Contractor Access to Classified Information (including Restricted Data)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, Contractor shall not have access to classified information, as that term is defined in, Section H.16, Security, of this Contract, and specifically shall not have access to Restricted Data unless and until the Contractor receives a Facility Clearance and favorable FOCI determination from NRC, and complies with all other applicable legal requirements.

H.15 Facility Clearance

(a) Use of Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests, Standard Form 328.

(1) The work to be conducted under this Contract will require access to classified information and classified matter (including special nuclear material) as defined in Section I.48, DEAR 952.204-2 (MAR 2011) of the Contract. Such access will require a Facility Clearance for the Contractor and access authorizations (security clearances) for personnel working with the classified information and classified matter. To obtain a Facility Clearance, the Contractor must submit a Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests, Standard Form 328, and all required supporting documents to form a complete FOCI Package to the cognizant security agency.

(2) Information submitted by the Contractor on Standard Form 328 will be used solely for the purposes of evaluating FOCI and will be treated by the cognizant security agency, to the extent permitted by law, as proprietary business or financial information submitted in confidence.

(3) Following submission of a Standard Form 328, the Contractor shall immediately submit to the cognizant security agency written notification of any changes in the extent and nature of FOCI which alter the Contractor’s answers to the questions in Standard Form 328. Following execution of the Contract, the Contractor must immediately submit to the cognizant security agency written notification of any changes in the extent and nature of FOCI which alter the Contractor’s answers to the questions in Standard Form 328. Notice of changes in ownership or control which are required to be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, or the Department of Justice must also be furnished concurrently to the cognizant security agency.

(b) Definitions.

(1) Foreign Interest means any of the following--

(i) A foreign government, foreign government agency, or representative of a foreign government;

(ii) Any form of business enterprise or legal entity organized, chartered or incorporated under the laws of any country other than the United States or its possessions and trust territories; and

(iii) Any person who is not a citizen or national of the United States.

(2) Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) means the situation where the degree of ownership, control, or influence over a contractor by a foreign interest is such that a reasonable basis exists for concluding that compromise of classified information or classified matter may result.

(c) Facility Clearance means an n administrative determination by the cognizant security agency that a facility is eligible to access, produce, use or store classified information or classified matter. A Facility Clearance is based upon a determination that satisfactory safeguards and security measures are carried out for the activities being performed at the facility. Approval for a Facility Clearance shall be based upon--

(1) A favorable FOCI determination based upon the Contractor's response to the ten questions in Standard Form 328 and any required, supporting data provided by the Contractor;

(2) Approved safeguards and security plans which describe protective measures appropriate to the activities being performed at the facility;

(3) An established Reporting Identification Symbol code for the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards Reporting System if access to nuclear materials is involved;

(4) A survey conducted no more than 6 months before the Facility Clearance date, with a composite facility rating of satisfactory, if the facility is to possess classified matter at its location;

(5) Appointment of a Facility Security Officer, who must possess or be in the process of obtaining an access authorization equivalent to the Facility Clearance; and, if applicable, appointment of a Materials Control and Accountability Representative; and

(6) Access authorizations for key management personnel which will be determined on a case-by-case basis, equivalent to the level of the Facility Clearance.

(d) A Facility Clearance is required prior to the Contractor having access to classified information and the granting of any access authorizations under a contract. In order for the Contractor to be granted a Facility Clearance, the cognizant security agency must determine that the Contractor will not pose an undue risk to the common defense and security as a result of access to classified information or classified matter in the performance of the Contract. The Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to submit such additional information as deemed pertinent to this determination.

(e) A Facility Clearance is required under this Contract even if the work to be performed does not require the Contractor to receive, process, reproduce, store, transmit, or handle classified information or classified matter, but which requires DOE access authorizations for the Contractor's employees to perform work at a DOE location. This type of facility is identified as a non-possessing facility.

(f) Except as otherwise authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer, pursuant to this Contract the Contractor must insert provisions similar to the foregoing in all subcontracts, purchase orders and applicable agreements. Any subcontractors requiring access authorizations for access to classified information or classified matter shall be directed to provide responses to the questions in Standard Form 328, Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests, directly to the Contractor or the Contracting Officer.

(e) Definition of Formerly Restricted Data. The term "Formerly Restricted Data" means information removed from the Restricted Data category based on a joint determination by DOE or its predecessor agencies and the Department of Defense that the information- (1) relates primarily to the military utilization of atomic weapons; and (2) can be adequately protected as National Security Information. However, such information is subject to the same restrictions on transmission to other countries or regional defense organizations that apply to Restricted Data.

(f) Definition of National Security Information. The term "National Security Information" means information that has been determined, pursuant to Executive Order 12958, Classified National Security Information, as amended, or any predecessor order, to require protection against unauthorized disclosure, and that is marked to indicate its classified status when in documentary form.

(h) Access authorizations of personnel.

(1) The Contractor shall not permit any individual to have access to any classified information or special nuclear material, except in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, and the DOE's regulations and Contract requirements applicable to the particular level and category of classified information or particular category of special nuclear material to which access is required.

(2) The Contractor must conduct a thorough review, as defined at 48 CFR 904.401, of an uncleared applicant or uncleared employee, and must test the individual for illegal drugs, prior to selecting the individual for a position requiring a DOE access authorization.

(i) a review must verify an uncleared applicant's or uncleared employee's educational background, including any high school diploma obtained within the past five years, and degrees or diplomas granted by an institution of higher learning; contact listed employers for the last three years and listed personal references; conduct local law enforcement checks when such checks are not prohibited by state or local law or regulation and when the uncleared applicant or uncleared employee resides in the jurisdiction where the Contractor is located; and conduct a credit check and other checks as appropriate.

(ii) Contractor reviews are not required for an applicant for DOE access authorization who possesses a current access authorization from DOE or another Federal agency, or whose access authorization may be reapproved without a federal background investigation pursuant to Executive Order 12968, Access to Classified Information (August 4, 1995), Sections 3.3(c) and (d).

(iii) In collecting and using this information to make a determination as to whether it is appropriate to select an uncleared applicant or uncleared employee to a position requiring an access authorization, the Contractor must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and Executive Orders, including those- (A) governing the processing and privacy of an individual's information, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; and (b) prohibiting discrimination in employment, such as under the ADA, Title VII and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, including with respect to pre- and post-offer of employment disability related questioning.

(iv) In addition to a review, each candidate for a DOE access authorization must be tested to demonstrate the absence of any illegal drug, as defined in 10 CFR 707.4. All positions requiring access authorizations are deemed testing designated positions in accordance with 10 CFR part 707. All employees possessing access authorizations are subject to applicant, random or for cause testing for use of illegal drugs. DOE will not process candidates for a DOE access authorization unless their tests confirm the absence from their system of any illegal drug.

(v) When an uncleared applicant or uncleared employee receives an offer of employment for a position that requires a DOE access authorization, the Contractor shall not place that individual in such a position prior to the individual's receipt of a DOE access authorization, unless an approval has been obtained from the head of the cognizant local security office. If the individual is hired and placed in the position prior to receiving an access authorization, the uncleared employee may not be afforded access to classified information or matter or special nuclear material (in categories requiring access authorization) until an access authorization has been granted.

D. A certification that all information collected during the review was reviewed and evaluated in accordance with the Contractor's personnel policies; and

E. The results of the test for illegal drugs.

(i) Criminal liability. It is understood that disclosure of any classified information relating to the work or services ordered hereunder to any person not entitled to receive it, or failure to protect any classified information, special nuclear material, or other Government property that may come to the Contractor or any person under the Contractor's control in connection with work under this Contract, may subject the Contractor, its agents, employees, or SubContractors to criminal liability under the laws of the United States (see the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.; 18 U.S.C. 793 and 794).

(j) Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence. (1) The Contractor shall immediately provide the cognizant security office written notice of any change in the extent and nature of foreign ownership, control or influence over the Contractor which would affect any answer to the questions presented in the Standard Form (SF) 328, Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests, executed prior to Contract of this Contract. In addition, any notice of changes in ownership or control which are required to be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, or the Department of Justice, shall also be furnished concurrently to the Contracting Officer.

(2) If a Contractor has changes involving foreign ownership, control, or influence, the cognizant security office must determine whether the changes will pose an undue risk to the common defense and security. In making this determination, the cognizant security office will consider proposals made by the Contractor to avoid or mitigate foreign influences.

(3) If the cognizant security office at any time determines that the Contractor is, or is potentially, subject to foreign ownership, control, or influence, the Contractor shall comply with such instructions as the Contracting Officer shall provide in writing to protect any classified information or special nuclear material.

(4) The Contracting Officer may terminate this Contract either if the Contractor fails to meet obligations imposed by this article or if the Contractor creates a foreign ownership, control, or influence situation in order to avoid performance or a termination. The Contracting Officer may terminate this Contract if the Contractor becomes subject to foreign ownership, control, or influence and for reasons other than avoidance of performance of the Contract, cannot, or chooses not to, avoid or mitigate the foreign ownership, control, or influence problem.

(k) Employment announcements. When placing announcements seeking applicants for positions requiring access authorizations, the Contractor shall include in the written vacancy announcement, a notification to prospective applicants that reviews, and tests for the absence of any illegal drug as defined in 10 CFR 707.4, will be conducted by the employer and a background investigation by the Federal government may be required to obtain an access authorization prior to employment, and that subsequent reinvestigations may be required. If the position is covered by the Counterintelligence Evaluation Program regulations at 10 CFR 709, the announcement should also alert applicants that successful completion of a counterintelligence evaluation may include a counterintelligence-scope polygraph examination.

(l) Flow down to subContracts. The Contractor agrees to insert terms that conform substantially to the language of this article, including this paragraph, in all subContracts under its Contract that will require SubContractor employees to possess access authorizations. Additionally, the Contractor must require such SubContractors to have an existing DOD or DOE facility clearance or submit a completed SF 328, Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests, as required in 48 CFR 952.204-73, Facility Clearance, and obtain a foreign ownership, control and influence determination and facility clearance prior to Contract of a subContract. Information to be provided by a SubContractor pursuant to this clause may be submitted directly to the Contracting Officer. For purposes of this article, SubContractor means any SubContractor at any tier and the term "Contracting Officer" means the DOE Contracting Officer. When this article is included in a subContract, the term "Contractor" shall mean SubContractor and the term "Contract" shall mean subContract.

The requirements in this Section 29.01 to return to DOE classified information or matter or special nuclear material shall apply only to government furnished classified information or matter or special nuclear material provided by DOE specifically for use in the Project and shall not apply to classified information or matter or special nuclear material in the possession of the Contractor prior to the effective date of this Contract or generated during the Contract.
