(iv) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, (1) each Eurodollar Term Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be continued as a Base Rate Term Loan and (2) the obligation of the Lenders to continue any Eurodollar Term Loan shall be suspended.

(b) Base Rate Term Loans.

(i) Initial Term Loans. EnergySolutions shall give the Administrative Agent in the case of initial Base Rate Term Loans at least one (1) Business Day’s irrevocable prior written notice in the form of a Request for Loan, or telephonic notice followed immediately by a Request for Loan; provided, however, that EnergySolutions’ failure to confirm any telephonic notice with a Request for Loan shall not invalidate any notice so given.

(ii) Continuations of Base Rate Term Loans. Upon at least one (1), with respect to items (B) and (C) of this sentence, or three (3), with respect to item (A) of this sentence, Business Days’ irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, EnergySolutions shall specify whether all or a portion of each Base Rate Term Loan outstanding on the related Payment Date (A) is to be continued in whole or in part as one or more Eurodollar Term Loans for the Interest Period(s) selected, (B) is to be continued in whole or in part as one or more Base Rate Term Loans, or (C) is to be repaid and not reborrowed.

(i) Initial Loans.

The Administrative Agent, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, shall determine the available Eurodollar Basis and shall notify EnergySolutions of such Eurodollar Basis. EnergySolutions shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent by telephone or telecopy, and shall immediately confirm any such telephonic notice in writing, of its selection of a Eurodollar Basis and Interest Period for such Loan; provided, however, that EnergySolutions’ failure to confirm any such telephonic notice in writing shall not invalidate any notice so given.

(ii) Continuations of Eurodollar Term Loans. Upon at least one (1), with respect to items (B) and (C) of this sentence, or three (3), with respect to item (A) of this sentence, Business Days’ irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, EnergySolutions shall specify whether all or a portion of each Eurodollar Term Loan outstanding on the related Payment Date (A) is to be continued in whole or in part as one or more Eurodollar Term Loans for the Interest Period(s) selected, (B) is to be continued in whole or in part as a Base Rate Term Loan, or (C) is to be repaid and not reborrowed.

If and to the extent the Lender does not make such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to EnergySolutions until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and thereafter at the Federal Funds Rate plus one percent (1%).

(ii) If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s portion of the applicable Loan for purposes of this Agreement. If such Lender does not repay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall notify EnergySolutions and EnergySolutions shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to fund its respective portion of the Loan on the date of such borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other Lender.

(i) an IPO Reorganization (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include an initial public offering of the shares of common stock of Parent); or

(ii) NDA Contract Reimbursement.

(c) Call Protection. In the event that the Loans are prepaid or repaid either pursuant to Section 2.6 or 2.7 and either in whole or in part, between March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2010, the Borrower shall pay to the Term Lenders a prepayment premium (expressed as a percentage of the prepayment amount) on the amount so prepaid or repaid as follows:


Date		Prepayment Premium
Amendment Effective Date to March 31, 2008		Par
March 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009		2.0%
June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010		1.0%
June 30, 2010 and thereafter		Par

Section 2.7 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) In addition to the scheduled repayments provided for in Section 2.4 hereof, EnergySolutions shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds (w) from any sale or disposition by Holdco, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries of any interest in any Loan Party (other than from a sale to another Loan Party), (x) except as set forth below, from any Permitted Asset Sales (other than any Excluded Asset Sales) and (y) except as set forth in Section 5.5(e) hereof, received as a result of a casualty or condemnation. Such amount shall be applied on the third Business Day following receipt thereof by EnergySolutions or the affected Subsidiary in accordance with Section 2.6(b). EnergySolutions shall also prepay the Term Loans, with application thereto in accordance with Section 2.6(b), in respective amounts equal to the after-Tax amount of any refund, purchase price adjustment, claim or credit arising under any agreement governing or relating to any acquisition of any assets or business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Net Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Permitted Asset Sales (other than any Excluded Asset Sales), at the option of EnergySolutions, and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, EnergySolutions may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Proceeds in assets used or useful for its business within three hundred sixty-five (365) days following receipt of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, that (i) if the property subject to such asset sale constituted Collateral under the Security Documents, then any capital assets purchased with the Net Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be mortgaged or pledged, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) if any Net Proceeds are no longer intended to be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount equal to any such Net Proceeds shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(b). For the purposes of calculating the mandatory prepayment required by this Section 2.7(a), “Net Proceeds” shall exclude all Net Proceeds received by Duratek and its Subsidiaries; provided that “Duratek and its Subsidiaries” shall not include EnergySolutions and its Subsidiaries if EnergySolutions is a Subsidiary of Duratek.

(b) In addition to the scheduled repayments provided for in Section 2.4 hereof, EnergySolutions shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds received after the Agreement Date from any Indebtedness for Money Borrowed incurred by Holdco, EnergySolutions, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries, except for Indebtedness for Money Borrowed (i) permitted by Section 7.1 hereof or (ii) incurred in connection with any Permitted Investments or Permitted Acquisitions permitted

(c) under Section 7.6 hereof (including any Indebtedness assumed by EnergySolutions or the Subsidiaries in connection with any such Permitted Investment or Permitted Acquisition), to the extent that upon consummation of any such Permitted Investment or Permitted Acquisition such Net Proceeds were invested in, or used to acquire, such Permitted Investment or Permitted Acquisition. Such amount shall be applied on the third Business Day following receipt thereof by EnergySolutions, Parent or the affected Subsidiary in accordance with Section 2.6(b). For the purposes of calculating the mandatory prepayment required by this Section 2.7(b), “Net Proceeds” shall exclude all Net Proceeds received from any Indebtedness for Money Borrowed incurred by Duratek and its Subsidiaries; provided that “Duratek and its Subsidiaries” shall not include EnergySolutions and its Subsidiaries if EnergySolutions is a Subsidiary of Duratek.

(d) In addition to the scheduled repayments provided for in Section 2.4 hereof, for each fiscal quarter during the term hereof, on or prior to the fifth Business Day following delivery of the financial statements required by Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof for the most recently completed fiscal quarter, (x) so long as the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter is equal to or greater than 3.0 to 1.0, EnergySolutions shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the difference between (i) fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash Flow for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and (ii) an amount equal to the optional prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.6 in such fiscal period, (y) if the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter is less than 3.0 to 1.0 and greater than 1.0 to 1.0, EnergySolutions shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the difference between (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of Excess Cash Flow for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and (ii) an amount equal to the optional prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.6 in such fiscal period and (z) if the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter is less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0, EnergySolutions shall not be required prepay the Term Loans.

(e) Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 2.6(b).

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, no mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.7 or be due and payable until such time as no principal, interest, fees and other due and payable amounts are owed under the First Lien Credit Agreements (or any refinancings thereof) or otherwise consented to by the Majority Lenders (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreements) under the First Lien Credit Agreements or as otherwise permitted thereunder.

(g) Any prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be subject to the call protection provisions of Section 2.6(c).

Section 2.8 Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Loans shall be repayable in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth herein. Upon the request of any Lender, Notes shall be issued by EnergySolutions and payable to the order of such Lender reflecting such Lender’s Term Loans. The Notes issued by EnergySolutions to the Lenders shall be duly executed and delivered by one or more Authorized Signatories.

(b) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of EnergySolutions to such Lender Party resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.5(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of such Loan and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from EnergySolutions to each Lender Party hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from EnergySolutions hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

(d) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.9(c) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.9(b) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from EnergySolutions to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of EnergySolutions under this Agreement.

Section 2.9 Manner of Payment.

(a) Each payment (including any prepayment) by EnergySolutions on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans, commitment fees and any other amount owed to the Lender Parties, the Administrative Agent or any of them under this Agreement shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, for the account of the Lender Parties, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment hereunder at or prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to constitute receipt on such Business Day. In the case of a payment for the account of a Lender Party, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter (and, if such amount is received before 2:00 p.m. (New York time), on the same day) distribute the amount so received in like funds to such Lender Party. If the Administrative Agent shall not have received any payment from EnergySolutions as and when due, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lender Parties accordingly. Only upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 11.5(c), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) EnergySolutions agrees to pay principal, interest, fees and all other Obligations due hereunder, under the Fee Letter, under any Notes or under the other Loan Documents without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever (other than any deductions or withholdings required by law on account of Taxes).

(c) Prior to the acceleration of the Loans under Section 8.2 hereof, if some but less than all amounts due from EnergySolutions are received by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amounts in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent on such date;

(ii) second, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;

(iii) third, to the payment of all of fees and the accrued and unpaid interest and any premiums on the Obligations of EnergySolutions under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(iv) fourth, ratably to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Loans that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date and amounts payable under Secured Hedge Agreements with Lenders and/or their Affiliates (or Persons that were Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders at the time any such Secured Hedge Agreement was entered into);

(v) fifth, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents or Secured Hedge Agreements that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Secured Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

(vi) sixth, the balance, if any, to the person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Loan Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(d) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Loans to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, in the case of the Term Loans, for application to such principal repayment installments thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall direct, and in other cases, elect to, distribute such funds to each of the Lender Parties in accordance with such Lender Party’s pro rata share of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time.

(e) Subject to any contrary provisions in the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is specified to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Term Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from EnergySolutions prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that EnergySolutions will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that EnergySolutions has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent EnergySolutions shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.10 Reimbursement.

(a) Whenever any Lender shall sustain or incur any losses or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i) failure by EnergySolutions to borrow any Eurodollar Term Loan after having given notice of its intention to borrow in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (whether by reason of EnergySolutions’ election not to proceed or the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Article 3), or (ii) payment of any Eurodollar Term Loan in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i), 2.6, 2.7 10.2 or 11.24, acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or for any other reason, EnergySolutions agrees to pay to such Lender, upon demand, an amount sufficient to compensate such Lender for all such losses and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Such Lender’s good faith determination of the amount of such losses or out-of-pocket expenses, as set forth in writing pursuant to Section 2.10(b) hereof, and accompanied by calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating the basis for its demand, shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error.

(b) Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall be (i) any loss incurred by any Lender in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid, repaid, not borrowed, or paid, as the case may be, and the amount of such loss shall be the excess, if any, of (1) the interest or other cost to such Lender of the deposit or other source of funding used to make any such Eurodollar Term Loan (but specifically excluding any Applicable Margin) for the remainder of its Interest Period, over (2) the interest earned (or to be earned) by such Lender upon the re-lending or other redeployment of the amount of such Eurodollar Term Loan for the remainder of its putative Interest Period or (ii) any other expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant of such Lender permitted hereunder in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid, repaid, not borrowed, or paid, as the case may be.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.10 shall be construed to apply to Taxes that are neither Covered Taxes nor Other Taxes.

Section 2.11 Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Loans. Each Loan from the Lenders shall be made pro rata on the basis of the respective Term Commitments of the Term Lenders as set forth on Schedule 4 hereof with respect to Term Loans.

(b) Payments. Except as specifically provided in Article 10 hereof or elsewhere in this Agreement, each payment and prepayment of principal of the Loans and each payment of interest on the Loans, shall be made to the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective unpaid principal amounts outstanding immediately prior to such payment or prepayment. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Loans

made by it in excess of its ratable share of such Loans, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such interests (whether by purchasing a participation or by assignment) in the applicable Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery; provided further, however, that, so long as the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment received by any Lender in respect of any Type of Loans shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Lenders to which Loans of such Type are owing. EnergySolutions agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of EnergySolutions in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.12 Capital Adequacy.

If, after the Agreement Date, the adoption or effectiveness of any Applicable Law regarding the capital adequacy of banks or bank holding companies, or any change or effectiveness in Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the Agreement Date) or any change in the interpretation or administration or effectiveness thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender Party with any directive issued or adopted after the Agreement Date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender Party’s capital, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans, to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender Party’s policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or compliance and assuming that such Lender Party’s capital was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change or compliance) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender Party to be material, then such Lender Party shall promptly notify EnergySolutions of such adoption, compliance or change. Upon demand by such Lender Party, EnergySolutions shall promptly pay to such Lender Party such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such reduced return, together with interest on such amount from the fourth (4th) day after the date of demand until payment in full thereof at the Default Rate. A certificate of such Lender Party setting forth the amount to be paid to such Lender Party by EnergySolutions as a result of any event referred to in this paragraph and supporting calculations in reasonable detail shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.12 shall not apply to Taxes.

Section 2.13 Taxes.

(a) Subject to the exclusions and limitations of this Section 2.13 and subject to the Lenders’ compliance with Section 2.13(f), any and all payments by any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings (“Taxes”) imposed or assessed on or with respect to payments made under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by the United States of America or any political subdivisions thereof or therein or any other jurisdiction (including non-U.S. jurisdictions), and all liabilities with respect hereto or thereto (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of a Lender or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes on overall gross receipts, or any other similar taxes imposed, in each case, as a result of such Lender being organized in, having its principal office or applicable lending office in, engaging in a trade or business in, or having a present or former connection with the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than any such trade or business, or connection arising or deemed to arise solely or primarily from any transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Covered Taxes”).

If any Loan Party shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings on account of Covered Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13(a)) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings of Covered Taxes been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings, and (iii) the applicable Loan Party shall pay the full amount of Covered Taxes deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) EnergySolutions agrees to pay any present or future recordation, transfer, mortgage, stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including any interest and penalties related thereto) imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof or any other jurisdiction (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) that arise from the execution, delivery, registration of, performance under, or enforcement of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Without duplication of its obligation to pay increased amounts on account of Covered Taxes and Other Taxes pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) and (b), respectively, EnergySolutions shall indemnify each Lender for the full amount of Covered Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) paid by such Lender and any penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment by EnergySolutions pursuant to this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor (submitted through the Administrative Agent). A Lender’s failure to provide notice to EnergySolutions shall not relieve EnergySolutions of any of its obligations under this Section 2.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where notice is not given within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Lender has actual notice of the assertion of taxes and EnergySolutions does not otherwise have notice of such assertion, no indemnification shall be required for penalties, additions to tax, expenses, and interest accruing on such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes from the date one hundred twenty (120) days after the Lender has actual notice of the assertion of such taxes until the date such notice was actually received by EnergySolutions.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Covered Taxes or Other Taxes by the any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.1 hereof, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. The applicable Loan Party shall compensate each Lender to the extent that such Lender is required to pay any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes (or applicable penalties, interest and expenses) as a result of any failure by such Loan Party to so furnish such copy of such receipt.

(e) The agreements and obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 2.13 shall survive the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that such Person is at such time legally entitled to do so, on the date a Person becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder and at such other times as reasonably requested by EnergySolutions or the Administrative Agent in writing, such Person must provide to EnergySolutions and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly executed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (i) Form W-8ECI (in the case of a non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected

with a U.S. trade or business), (ii) Form W-8BEN (in the case of a non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under an income tax treaty or under the portfolio interest exemption), (iii) with respect to any interest in this Agreement in which a participation has been sold, a Form W-8IMY along with accompanying Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption), (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document necessary to establish such non-U.S. Person’s entitlement to exemption from United States federal withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such non-U.S. Person under this Agreement, or (v) Form W-9 (claiming exemption from backup withholding tax), or any successor forms. Each Agent and Lender agrees that from time to time after the Agreement Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Agent or Lender will, to the extent that such Agent or Lender is at such time legally entitled to do so, deliver to EnergySolutions and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable certification form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13, a Lender shall not be entitled to payment on account of or indemnification for Covered Taxes that are U.S. federal withholding Taxes that are imposed pursuant to a law in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except, in the case of an assignee to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Loan Parties with respect to such Tax pursuant to Section 2.13(a) and a Lender shall not be entitled to a payment on account of or indemnification for such Covered Taxes to the extent such Taxes result from the failure of such Lender to comply with the documentation requirements of this Section 2.13(f).

(g) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its good faith sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which the Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Covered Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Loan Party, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Party or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.

(h) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13 (a), Section 2.13(c) or Section 10.3 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by EnergySolutions, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the good faith sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 2.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Loan Party or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a), Section 2.13(c) or Section 10.3.

Section 2.14 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. EnergySolutions may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, the establishment of one or more new Term Commitments (each, an “Incremental Second Lien Commitment”), in each case, by an amount not in excess of the Incremental Commitment Cap in the aggregate and not less than $5,000,000 individually (or, if less, the amount of the Incremental Commitment Cap). Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which EnergySolutions proposes that the increased or new Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of the financial institution to whom EnergySolutions proposes any portion of such increased or new Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment.

(b) Conditions. The increased or new Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective Date and the use of proceeds thereof;

(iii) EnergySolutions shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to the new Commitments shall be as follows:

(i) terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to Incremental Second Lien Commitments (“Incremental Term Loans”) shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein, identical to the existing Term Loans (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be part of an existing tranche of Term Loans);

(ii) any such Incremental Term Loans shall not amortize (on a percentage basis) any faster than the existing Term Loans and shall not mature prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date;

(iii) in the event that the Applicable Margin for the Incremental Loans (inclusive of upfront fees and OID payable to such Lenders) is greater than the Applicable Margin for the existing Term Loans (inclusive of any upfront fees and OID paid to the existing Lenders), then the Applicable Margin for the corresponding class of existing Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary such that the Applicable Margin for the existing class of Loans is equal to the Applicable Margin for the Incremental Loans; and

(iv) participation in the Incremental Second Lien Commitments and Incremental Commitments shall be offered to banks, financial institutions and other entities reasonably acceptable to EnergySolutions and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Making of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which new Commitments for Term Loans are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such new Commitment shall make a Term Loan to EnergySolutions in an amount equal to its new Commitment.

(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Commitments.

Section 2.15 Termination of Commitments.

The Term Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Agreement Date.

Conditions Precedent

Section 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans.

(a) Agreement Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligation of any Lender to make a Loan on the Agreement Date shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent as noted in the Commitment Letter. The obligation of any Lender to make a Loan on the Agreement Date is subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth below:

(i) The Arranger shall have received:

In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 9.11 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.

(b) For purposes of this Section 9.11, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, with respect to any time deemed appropriate by such Agent, according to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse any Agent, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to such Agent, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse such Agent, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 9.11 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.12 Credit Decision.

Each Lender Party represents and warrants to each other Lender Party, to each Agent and to the Administrative Agent that:

(a) in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to make its Loans it has independently taken whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of EnergySolutions and the Subsidiaries and that it has made an independent credit judgment, and that it has not relied upon the Administrative Agent, any Agent or any other Lender Party, or information provided by the Administrative Agent (other than information provided to the Administrative Agent by EnergySolutions and forwarded by the Administrative Agent to the Lender Parties); and

(b) so long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of EnergySolutions and the Subsidiaries.

Section 9.13 Successor Agents.

(a) Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice five days prior to the effective date of such resignation to the Lender Parties and EnergySolutions. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with EnergySolutions, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that, at the time of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Majority Lenders, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be any Lender Party or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof which has combined capital and reserves in excess of $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, CNAI’s resignation as administrative agent pursuant to the Successor Agent Agreement), the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

(b) Resignation of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Lender Parties and EnergySolutions. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with EnergySolutions, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent; provided that if, at the time of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, no successor Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Majority Lenders, the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent and, after its resignation and prior to the appointment of any successor Collateral Agent, the retiring Collateral Agent will act as a nominee for perfection with respect to the applicable Collateral. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, CNAI’s resignation as collateral agent pursuant to the Successor Agent Agreement), the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent (and with respect to CNAI, including any action taken or omitted to be taken subsequent to its resignation in connection with the payoff of the First Lien Term Loans).

(c) General. If no successor agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the resignation of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and the Majority Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided above. After any retiring agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have become effective (including, for the avoidance of doubt, CNAI’s resignation as administrative agent and collateral agent pursuant to the Successor Agent Agreement), the provisions

of this Article 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement (and with respect to CNAI, including any action taken or omitted to be taken subsequent to its resignation in connection (x) with the payoff of the First Lien Term Loans or (y) other obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreements).

Section 9.14 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys selected by it using reasonable care, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

Section 9.15 Additional Agents.

None of the Lender Parties or other entities identified on the facing page of, signature pages of or elsewhere in this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “sole bookrunner” or “sole lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than those applicable to all Lender Parties as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lender Parties so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender Party. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lender Parties or other entities so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking action hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.16 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or its designee (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on EnergySolutions) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.3, 2.5 and 11.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lender Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.5 and 11.2.

(b) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender Party in any such proceeding.

Section 9.17 Intercreditor Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender also acknowledges (a) that the Lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) that CNAI, Collateral Agent hereunder, is also acting as Collateral Agent under the First Lien Credit Agreements, and in such dual capacities has entered into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of both the Lenders hereunder as well as the lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreements, each Lender hereby waiving any actual or potential conflict or breach of duty created or existing as the result of such dual capacities and acknowledging that it has read the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement and has accepted the same without reliance on any of the Agents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

ARTICLE 10.

Change in Circumstances

Affecting Fixed Rate Loans

Section 10.1 Eurodollar Basis Determination Inadequate or Unfair.

If, with respect to any proposed Eurodollar Term Loan for any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent determines after consultation with the Lenders that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered to each of the Lenders in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to EnergySolutions and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies EnergySolutions that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist, the obligations of any affected Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Term Loans shall be suspended.

Section 10.2 Illegality.

If after the Agreement Date the adoption of any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the Agreement Date), or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible, or any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Term Loans, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and EnergySolutions. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2 hereof, (a) the obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Eurodollar Term Loans shall be suspended

until the Administrative Agent shall notify EnergySolutions and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (b) unless EnergySolutions, within three (3) Business Days thereafter, converts all Eurodollar Term Loans into Base Rate Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, EnergySolutions shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each affected Eurodollar Term Loan of such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon and any reimbursement required under Section 2.10 hereof, on either (i) the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Eurodollar Term Loans if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Term Loans to such day or (ii) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such affected Eurodollar Term Loans to such day. Concurrently with repaying each affected Eurodollar Term Loan of such Lender, notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2 or Article 3 hereof, EnergySolutions may borrow a Base Rate Term Loan from such Lender, and such Lender shall make such Base Rate Term Loan, if so requested, in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount held by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount immediately prior to such repayment.

Section 10.3 Increased Costs.

(a) If after the Agreement Date the adoption or effectiveness of any Applicable Law or any change or effectiveness in any Applicable Law (whether adopted before or after the Agreement Date) or any interpretation or change in interpretation or administration or effectiveness thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by any Lender Party with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any Lender Party to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its obligation to make or continue Eurodollar Term Loans, or its Eurodollar Term Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender Party of the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Term Loans or in respect of any other amounts due under this Agreement, in respect of its Eurodollar Term Loans or its obligation to make or continue Eurodollar Term Loans (except for changes in the rate or method of calculation of tax on the overall net income of such Lender Party); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, capital adequacy, assessment or other requirement or condition against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or commitments or credit extended by, any Lender Party or shall impose on any Lender Party or the London interbank borrowing market or the New York certificate of deposit market any other condition affecting its obligation to make or continue Eurodollar Term Loans or its Eurodollar Term Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender Party of making or maintaining any such Eurodollar Term Loans, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender Party under this Agreement with respect thereto, then, within five (5) days after demand by such Lender Party, EnergySolutions agrees to pay to such Lender Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender Party for such increased costs (other than any increased costs resulting from Taxes that are Covered Taxes or Other Taxes (which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.13) or are excluded from the definition of Covered Taxes under Section 2.13(a)). Each Lender Party will promptly notify EnergySolutions and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Agreement Date, which will entitle such Lender Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 10.3 and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

(b) Any Lender Party claiming compensation under this Section 10.3 shall provide EnergySolutions with a written certificate setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and calculations therefor in reasonable detail. Such certificate shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. If any Lender Party demands compensation under this Section 10.3, EnergySolutions may at any time, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender Party, prepay in full the then outstanding affected Eurodollar Term Loans of such Lender Party, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, along with any reimbursement required under Section 2.10 hereof. Concurrently with prepaying such Eurodollar Term Loans, notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2 or Article 3 hereof, EnergySolutions may borrow a Base Rate Term Loan from such Lender Party, and such Lender Party shall, if so requested, make such Base Rate Term Loan in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount held by such Lender Party shall equal the outstanding principal amount immediately prior to such prepayment.

(c) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 10.3, then EnergySolutions may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.5), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: (i) EnergySolutions shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.5, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of and premium (if any) on its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts Section 2.10, treating such assignment as a voluntary prepayment) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or EnergySolutions (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling EnergySolutions to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that, if EnergySolutions elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 10.3, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such non-consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

Section 10.4 Effect on Other Loans.

(a) If notice has been given pursuant to Section 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3 suspending the obligation of any Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Term Loans, or requiring Eurodollar Term Loans of any Lender to be repaid or prepaid, then, unless and until such Lender notifies EnergySolutions that the circumstances giving rise to such repayment no longer apply, all Loans which would otherwise be made or continued as Eurodollar Term Loans shall, at the option of EnergySolutions, be made or continued instead as Base Rate Term Loans.

(b) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Term Loan, Lenders owed at least 51% of the then aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any

Interest Period for such Loan will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Term Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify EnergySolutions and the Lenders which have made such Loan, whereupon (i) such Eurodollar Term Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be continued as a Base Rate Term Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders which have made such Loan to make further or continue Eurodollar Term Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify EnergySolutions that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

Section 11.2 Costs and Expenses.

(a) EnergySolutions will promptly pay, or reimburse, without duplication:

(i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, structuring, due diligence, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions related hereto, contemplated hereunder and thereunder and the making of the initial Loans hereunder (whether or not such Loans are made), including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, special counsel for the Arrangers;

(iii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of collection if an Event of Default occurs in the payment of the Loans or the other Obligations, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, which in each case shall include reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one respective outside counsel and such local counsel as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders.

(c) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.3 Waivers.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lender Parties, or any of them, in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right. The Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties expressly reserve the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any future funding of a request for a Loan. In the event the Lender Parties decide to fund a Loan at a time when EnergySolutions is not in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, such decision by the Lender Parties shall not be deemed to constitute an undertaking by the Lender Parties to fund any further Loans or to preclude the Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent from exercising any rights available under the Loan Documents or at law or equity. Any waiver or indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties or the Majority Lenders shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or indulgence, or constitute a course of dealing at variance with the terms of this Agreement such as to require further notice of their intent to require strict adherence to the terms of this Agreement in the future.

Section 11.4 Set-Off.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties are hereby authorized by EnergySolutions at any time or from time to time, without notice to EnergySolutions or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of EnergySolutions or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations irrespective of whether (a) any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the Administrative Agent shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Section 8.2 and although such Obligations or any of them shall be contingent or unmatured.

Upon direction by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders, each Lender Party holding deposits of EnergySolutions or any of its Subsidiaries shall exercise its set-off rights as so directed.

Section 11.5 Binding Effect and Assignment.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by EnergySolutions and each Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender party hereto, and EnergySolutions shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent, that each such Lender party hereto has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of EnergySolutions, each Agent and each such Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that EnergySolutions shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender may enter freely into participation agreements with respect to or otherwise grant participations in its Loans to one or more banks or other lenders or financial institutions; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall not be entitled by the benefit of its participation to vote or otherwise take action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except with respect to the matters referred to in Section 11.12 hereof relating to the matters in which affected Lenders are required to vote or all Lenders are required to vote, (iv) such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) duly signed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 IMY (or any successor thereto) for each participant, and (v) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. In addition, each Lender may sell up to 100%, assign or create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any other Person on an assignment basis; provided that (A) (I) at any time hereunder, such assignment is to an Affiliate of the assignor, an Approved Fund, another Lender or any Conduit Lender, (II) prior to a date to be separately agreed among the Borrower, Holdco and the Arranger (the “Syndication Date”), such assignment is made by the Administrative Agent in connection with syndication of any of the Loans, (III) prior to the Syndication Date, the Administrative Agent has given its written consent to the proposed assignee of a Lender hereunder or (IV) after the Syndication Date, the Borrower (unless there exists at the time of such assignment an Event of Default hereunder) and the Administrative Agent have given their prior written consent to the proposed assignee of a Lender hereunder, which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, provided that such consents may be reasonably withheld if the proposed assignee is subject to withholding tax of the sort referred to in Section 2.13 hereof, and (B) each such assignment shall be in a principal amount of not less than the lesser of (I) the entire amount of such Lender’s interest hereunder or (II) $1,000,000 unless an assignment is from one Lender to another or to an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender, in which case there shall be no minimum assignment amount. Each Lender who sells or assigns a portion of its Loans pursuant hereto shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,500 with respect to each assignment (except that one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds), such fee to be paid to the Administrative Agent not later than the effective date of the assignment of the Loan relating thereto. All assignments by any of the Lenders of any interests hereunder shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Lender may provide any proposed participant or assignee with confidential information provided to such Lender regarding Holdco, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a confidential basis, and such participant or assignee shall agree to maintain such confidentiality in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.19 hereof. Further, each permitted assignee or participant with respect to any portion of the Loans shall be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the burdens, of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and Article 10 hereof and all other provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents as a

“Lender” hereunder. No participant shall be entitled to a greater payment under Section 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold. Upon the grant of a participation of its commitment by a Lender pursuant to this Section 11.5(b), such Lender (on behalf of the Borrower) shall maintain a register analogous to the Register described in Section 11.5(c) below.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of EnergySolutions, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of and the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and EnergySolutions, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection at the offices of the Administrative Agent by EnergySolutions or any Lender, at any reasonable time during normal business hours and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and EnergySolutions with written notice of the assignment of all or part of its rights hereunder. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee Lender, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the assignee is already a Lender), the fee referred to in Section 11.5(b) above and any written consent to such assignment required thereby, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effected for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may (without the consent of EnergySolutions or the Administrative Agent) pledge all or a portion of its rights in connection with this Agreement to the trustee or any holder of obligations or agents therefor owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities. No pledge described in the immediately preceding sentence shall release any such Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) Except as specifically set forth in Section 11.5(b) hereof, nothing in this Agreement or any Notes, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement or any Notes.

(f) The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall not apply to any purchase of participations among the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender Party (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and EnergySolutions (a “Conduit Lender”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any Conduit Lender to fund any Loan, and (ii) if a Conduit Lender elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall utilize the applicable Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no Conduit Lender shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender Party would be liable, (ii) no Conduit Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 10.3 (or any other increased

costs protection provision) to any greater extent than the Granting Lender would have been entitled absent the use of a Conduit Lender and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender Party of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior Indebtedness of any Conduit Lender, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Conduit Lender may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of, EnergySolutions and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or any portion of its interest in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Conduit Lender. This Section 11.5(g) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by a Conduit Lender at the time of such amendment.

(h) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 11.5, any Lender may at any time pledge the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

Section 11.6 Accounting Principles.

Except as set forth in the following sentence, references in this Agreement to GAAP shall be to such principles as defined in Section 1.4, and all accounting terms used herein without definition shall be used as defined under GAAP.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UN-CONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY IN ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

Section 11.10 Interest.

(a) In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder or under any Notes exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made by EnergySolutions or inadvertently received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless EnergySolutions shall notify the Administrative Agent or such Lender in writing that it elects to have such excess returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that EnergySolutions not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by EnergySolutions under Applicable Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the use by the Lenders of the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Eurodollar Rate as reference rates for the determination of interest on the Loans, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to obtain funds from any particular source in order to charge interest to EnergySolutions at interest rates related to such reference rates.
