Dear Mr. Van Namen:

USEC and TVA agree as follows:

(g)This agreement may be modified only by a subsequent written agreement signed by all parties hereto.

(h)This agreement shall be effective as of the date of the last signature hereon, subject to USEC and TVA's execution of the Confirmation referenced in paragraph (a) above and TVA's delivery of the same to USEC. Upon execution of the Confirmation, TVA shall deliver the Confirmation to USEC by sending a signed original in Adobe portable document format by electronic mail to OKeefeD@usec.com.
