In the event that the Customer and the Consultant cannot agree a fair and reasonable adjustment to the Fee, Schedule 3 (Pricing) and/or the details of the impact (if any) the Variation Instruction may have upon the Deliverables Schedule the dispute or disagreement shall be referred, within one (1) month of the Customer confirming the Variation Instruction under this clause 7.4, to a meeting of appropriately senior directors (or representatives) of each Party with a view to trying to resolve such dispute or disagreement fairly and reasonably, without reference to the dispute resolution procedure set out in clause 30.

7.7	If pursuant to this clause 7 the Customer issues a Variation Instruction which reduces the scope of the Services, the Customer will not be responsible for or liable to compensate the Consultant for any loss of profit, loss of opportunity or any consequential loss but the Customer will be responsible for reimbursing the Consultant any and all reasonable demobilisation costs which may result directly from the Consultant having to stand down and repatriate personnel who are no longer required as a consequence of such reduction in scope, unless the Variation Instruction arose/arises as a result of a negligent act, a negligent omission, a default or a breach of this Agreement by the Consultant.

7.8	If pursuant to this clause 7 the Customer issues a Variation Instruction which increases the scope of Services, the Customer shall be entitled to require the Consultant to increase the level or scope of the professional indemnity insurance cover required under this Agreement and/or the Consultant's limit of liability under clause 14.2 by an amount which is commensurate with the increase in scope of Services (which shall be the difference between the Fee for the scope of Services prior to the Variation Instruction being issued and the Fee for the scope of Services including the Variation Instruction which is the subject of this clause 7.8) .

16.	Conflicts

16.1	The Consultant warrants and confirms to the Customer that, subject to clause 16.2, it will not accept any instructions from a third party which may, in the reasonable opinion of the Customer, adversely affect the Nuclear Program or the Consultant's performance of the Services, or create a conflict of interest in relation to the Consultant's obligations under this Agreement. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding clause 16.2, the Consultant warrants that no Nominated Personnel or Key Personnel shall be engaged in the provision of services which in the Customer's opinion create a conflict of interest in relation to the Consultant's obligations under this Agreement.

Where the Customer (in its absolute discretion) considers that the organisational and administrative arrangements the Consultant has in place or proposes are not or will not be sufficient to ensure that the risk of damage to the interests of the Customer is avoided, the Customer shall notify the Consultant and the Consultant shall refuse the instructions giving rise to the potential conflict or cease any further work in respect of those instructions.

If the Customer consents at any time to any subcontracting of the performance of the Services or any of the Consultant's other obligations under this Agreement, this shall be entirely without prejudice to and shall not derogate from the Consultant's liabilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Consultant shall be and remain fully responsible to the Customer for the performance of any and all Services delegated or sub-contracted to a sub-consultant, sub-contractor or supplier in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Once the Customer has accepted the identity and terms and conditions of appointment of a sub-consultant, sub-contractor or supplier, the Consultant shall not terminate or vary the terms of appointment of such sub-consultant, sub-contractor or supplier without the Customer's prior written approval. The Customer shall not be obliged to make any payment to the Consultant under this Agreement in respect of any of the Services which are performed by a sub-consultant, sub-contractor or supplier that has not been appointed in accordance with this Agreement.

18.4	The Consultant agrees to deliver promptly to the Customer, upon the Customer's request, free from all Encumbrances, any and all copies of the Documents which are or come into the Consultant's possession and to procure the delivery of any further copies (free from all Encumbrances) which are or may be in the possession of third parties.

18.7	The Customer hereby grants the Consultant a non-exclusive, non-assignable, royalty-free licence to use and reproduce the Documents solely for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement. Such licence shall entitle the Consultant to grant sub-licences to the Consultant's key personnel, sub-consultants and third parties on equivalent terms to this clause 18.7.

18.8	The Consultant hereby grants or shall procure the grant to the Customer of a non- exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, world-wide licence of any Intellectual Property Rights (other than Created Intellectual Property Rights) in the Documents.

18.9	Where the Consultant sub-contracts any or all of its obligations under this Agreement to a sub-consultant, each such sub-consultant shall be required, as a minimum, to agree to equivalent obligations as those set out in this clause 18.

19.3	Subject to clause 19.4, the Customer shall also have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Agreement or suspend the Services on no less that twenty (20) days' notice in writing to the Consultant at any time after the occurrence of any of the following:

If the event is not remedied within such a period to the reasonable satisfaction of the Customer, the Customer may terminate this Agreement or suspend the Services with immediate effect.

(e)

such termination shall be without prejudice to any rights which the Customer may have in relation to the relevant events, breach or failure.

agree with the Consultant the proposed form, timing, content and purpose of the disclosure.

20.10	Without prejudice to clause 20.9, the Consultant shall indemnify the Customer in respect of any and all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, costs, expenses, demands, actions, proceedings or judgments arising out of or relating to any breach or non-performance by the Consultant of any terms of this clause 20.

PART II

The Basic Services

Scope of Services

Based on the ENEC requirements as presented in the ITT and three Bulletins, the following Scope of Services has been developed.

Part I: General Requirements to the Basic Services

The Surveillance Team will provide technical and quality assessment of the conversion of UF6 to UO2 to be performed at the Westinghouse Springfields facility during the period of November —December 2013. The surveillance will be performed to ensure that the Westinghouse activities are consistent with the Westinghouse QMS and related Xxxxx 0 and Level 3 procedures, consistent with industry standards and practices. The goal of these services will be to ensure that the converted UO2 delivered to KNF for use in the KNF pellet production qualification tests has been properly handled and well characterized to ensure that it will be representative of the material to be supplied by Springfields to the initial ENEC cores. As part of the surveillance activities, the Surveillance Team will provide ENEC with a Risks and Opportunities report in the format specified by ENEC. The potential impact of any identified risks and their likelihood of occurrence will be summarized. Additionally, any identified opportunities, their potential impact and likelihood of occurrence will also be summarized. Due to the limited duration of the oversight at Springfields provided under this portion of the ENEC ITT, only one such report is expected and it may be included as part of the Final Oversight Summary Report.

Part II Basic Services

The WEC/SFL manufacturing activity is the conversion of approximately 2,500 to 4,500 kgU EUP from UF6 to UO2 powder. This task is to be completed in November — December 2013. The Surveillance Team will provide technical and quality surveillance oversight services related to Westinghouse Springfields manufacturing activities for ENEC by conducting quality surveillance (QS) and where appropriate quality assurance (QA) functions during all stages of UF6 to UO2 powder conversion process that include:

	•	Review and evaluation of the Springfields quality and manufacturing procedures to be used in the conversion process and in handling the ENEC materials. Identified issues and gaps will be reported to ENEC and Westinghouse.

	•	Review and evaluation of the Springfields conversion process qualifications including identification of the process and product critical parameters. This is particularly important to ensure that the UO2 powder used in the KNF pellet qualification testing is consistent with that which will be provided by Springfield for the ENEC full core fuel fabrication campaigns.

	•	As Springfields has equipment that employees multiple conversion processes, identify which process will be used for the planned production materials in 2015 and 2016. This will help assure the applicability of the KNF pellet production testing to the final full core production.


	•	Comparison of Springfields manufacturing processes with industry best practices; Performance of the onsite surveillance during all stages of UF6 to UO2 powder conversion process.

	•	Verification of Springfield compliance with all applicable standards and procedures during the conversion operations.

	•	The intent of the [Redacted] surveillance activities is to provide additional assurance that the WEC/SFL conversion activities are in compliance to: ASME NQA-I 1994 with 1995 Xxxxxxxx, XXX 0000, XXX 00000, as applicable.

Please note: The development of the resource requirements for this Tender are based upon what is believed to be a reasonable assumption for the length of time required for the conversion of the limited quantity of material specified by ENEC. It is expected that ENEC will use their best efforts to work with Springfields to schedule the conversion activities to be completed within this time period.

Part III Deliverables:

The proposed *[Redacted]* Scope of Work defines three (3) Deliverables:

	(1)	Surveillance Plan: General plan prepared based on review of available Springfields Level 1 (Westinghouse QMS Manual) and Level 2 (Westinghouse and Springfields) procedures and Springfields conversion process qualification documents. The intent is for this plan to be available prior to or concurrent to the start of surveillance observation at Springfields, dependent upon availability of Westinghouse and Springfields documents.

	(2)	Surveillance Performance: Actual observation of Springfields conversion process for ENEC UF6 cylinders, including review of applicable XXX Xxxxx 0 procedures, relevant Springfields production, quality, and certification documents, and review of powder packing process to ensure powder integrity and quality will be maintained during shipment to KNF.

	(3)	Surveillance Report: Final report summarizing observations from the surveillance as well as recommendations for ENEC consideration. This report will be provided to ENEC within thirty (30) days following completion of the surveillance.

Knowledge Transfer:

Due to the limited duration and scope of the requested quality surveillance services to be performed at the Westinghouse Springfields facilities, it is recommended that the Knowledge Transfer aspects of this activity be provided to ENEC in the form of the Surveillance Plan and Surveillance Summary Report. These documents will clearly identify the approach used by the team to prepare for and perform the surveillance at Springfields. It will also identify the relevant Westinghouse documents needed to support the Knowledge Transfer aspects of the actual fuel fabrication process to follow.

^* *[Redacted]* indicates confidential information that has been omitted in reliance on Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The confidential information has been submitted separately to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Additional Recommendation
Based on the extensive *[Redacted]* experience with nuclear fuel production process implementations, particularly with UO2 pellet production, it is strongly recommended that ENEC consider performance of a detailed technical review and direct quality surveillance of the pellet production qualification testing that will be performed by KNF with the Springfields supplied UO2 powder. This task is outside the scope of work requested by ENEC in the ITT, but it is considered an important action for ENEC to take to ensure success of the full core production activities. This review could also be performed as part of the preparation for the planned production oversight activities included in the second phase of the ENEC ITT.

Key Personnel
The Lightbridge/*[Redacted]* Surveillance Team
In response to the ENEC ITT requested Scope of Services, Lightbridge/*[Redacted]* proposes the formation of a team of *[Redacted]* highly experienced *[Redacted]* senior consultants, backed up by *[Redacted]* additional members of the *[Redacted]* staff, to provide the quality surveillance of the Springfields UF6 conversion activities.
