Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Encumbrances which have priority over the Encumbrances on the Collateral by operation of law.

5.1.2. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Pledgee shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the Pledgor (provided that no such notice shall be required if at such time a Bankruptcy Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Pledgor): (i) the Pledgee shall have the right to

5.5. Release of Proceeds. Any amounts received by the Pledgee during the continuance of an Event of Default and not applied against the Obligations or expenses of Decommissioning of Zion Station shall be paid over to the Pledgor.

The Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Pledgee and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor hereby gives the Pledgee the power and right, on behalf of the Pledgor, without notice to or assent by the Pledgor, to do any or all of the following:

6.1.1.1 in the name of the Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Pledgee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

6.1.1.2 pay or discharge taxes and Encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

6.1.1.3 (i) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Pledgee or as the Pledgee shall direct; (ii) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (iv) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (v) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Pledgee may deem appropriate; and (vi) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Pledgee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Pledgee’s option and the Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the

Pledgee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Pledgee’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Pledgor might do; and

6.1.1.4 following an Event of Default, take any action under the limited liability company agreement under which the Pledged Interests are issued that may be taken by the holder of the Pledged Interests or the holder of a proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Pledged Interests.

Anything in this Section 6.1.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Pledgee agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1.1 (a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (b) other than as necessary to seek authorization from NRC for Pledgee to take possession of or exercise control over the Pledged LLC Interests or its NRC licensed facility, until first having received issuance of a license by NRC authorizing such possession or NRC’s prior written consent to the transfer of control of the existing NRC licenses.

6.1.2. If the Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Pledgee, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

6.2. Duty of Pledgee. The Pledgee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it with the same degree of care as the Pledgee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Pledgee, nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Pledgee hereunder are solely to protect the Pledgee’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Pledgee to exercise any such powers. The Pledgee shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for (i) its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

6.3. Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable Law, the Pledgor authorizes the Pledgee to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents

or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of the Pledgor in such form and in such offices as the Pledgee determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Pledgee under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
