- 2. The parties intend that the Insurer conduct its activities so as not to be subject to the insurance regulation of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda and Delaware.
Accordingly, the parties expressly recognize and agree that paragraph 1 above does not evidence an intent by the parties to (a) give jurisdiction over the Insurer to the insurance regulatory authority of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda and Delaware; or (b) make applicable to this Policy any of the insurance laws or regulations (including those which specify the terms of the by-laws and contracts of mutual insurance companies) of any jurisdiction, including New York, other than to the extent such laws of Bermuda and Delaware are applicable; or Primary - April 1, 2015 14 2015.02.04.13.16.50 P15-060
(c) otherwise have the laws of Bermuda or Delaware apply to the construction or enforcement of this Policy.

G. Dispute Resolution
- 1. The Insurer and the Insured mutually acknowledge that the form, terms and conditions of the Policy have been formulated by representatives of the companies participating in the mutual enterprise in order to provide insurance coverage which is vital to all participants. It is desired that the Insurer serve as a financially stable and reliable entity, responsive to the coverage needs of its participants, and providing coverage fairly and equitably as to each Insured, but taking equally into account fairness and equity as to all Insureds as a group.
While every effort has been made to define with clarity and precision the scope of coverage and other policy provisions, the Insurer and the Insured mutually acknowledge that situations may arise where the terms of the Policy, or the interpretation of the terms, are disputed. For the foregoing reasons, the Insurer and the Insured agree that the following principles shall govern the interpretation of the Policy:
(a) Even-handedness and fairness to both the Insurer and the Insured; Primary - April 1, 2015 15 2015.02.04.13.16.50 P15-060
(b) In the event of an ambiguity in a policy provision, the intentions of the Insurer and the Insured shall be considered by the Arbitrator(s). Evidence of such intentions is limited to the following extrinsic evidence: reports, notes, meeting minutes, and related materials produced by or given to the Insurers Board of Directors, Advisory Committees, and Task Forces, and any testimony taken from a present or former employee of the Insurer, member of a Member Advisory Committee, or Director; (c) The practice of the Insurer and the Insured in interpreting and applying the Policy; (d) The cooperative rather than adversarial relationship between the Insurer and the Insured; and (e) The contract construction rule of contra proferentem (construing a contract against the drafter) is not applicable to this insurance policy.
- 2. The Insurer and Insured will endeavor to resolve any dispute between them by means of a voluntary process to be agreed upon between them, including, without limitation, early neutral evaluation, mediation, mini-trial, neutral fact finding, or senior peer review. Neither the Insurer nor the Insured may be compelled to participate in any such voluntary process except that, at the request of an Insured, the Insurer agrees to submit the dispute to senior peer review. The Insurer agrees to pay the fees and expenses of any neutral party associated with the use of any process hereunder. Senior peer review is a process in which both sides present their arguments and view of the evidence to a panel of five (5) employees of other NEIL Members, unless the Insured and Insurer agree that a panel of three (3) would be more appropriate. The panel will provide a written non-binding opinion on the merits of the dispute. Though not an exclusive list, panel members may include individuals from NEILs Member Representatives, Board of Directors, Member Advisory Committees, or Members Legal Counsel. None of the panelists may be employed by a Member that is an affiliate of the Insured involved in the dispute. The panelists shall be selected by agreement of the Insured and Insurer, but if no agreement is reached within 30 days of the date the senior peer review is requested, the Insurer and Insured shall each submit a list of five names and a NEIL outside Director (as chosen by the Chairman of the Board) shall select the panelists. The panel, with input from the parties, shall establish a schedule for the proceeding, including, if appropriate, the submittal of written materials and oral arguments.
- 3. The Statement of Dispute Resolution Principles adopted by the Insurers Board of Directors and Members, as it may be amended from time to time, shall not create any rights or obligations on the parties but shall be used as guidelines for conducting dispute resolution processes hereunder.

Any dispute, controversy or claim between the Insurer and the Insured as to any matter arising out of or relating to this Policy, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, which is not settled between themselves, pursuant to paragraph 2 above or otherwise, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Laws (UNCITRAL) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration of a dispute is final and binding.
(a) The number of arbitrators shall be one, unless the Insured or the Insurer requests a three-person panel, in which case the number of arbitrators shall be three.
(b) In the event the arbitration is to be decided by a single arbitrator, and the parties cannot agree on the appointment of that arbitrator within sixty (60) days of the notice of arbitration being served, the sole arbitrator shall be selected by the appointing authority specified in paragraph 4.d.
(c) In the event the arbitration is to be decided by three arbitrators, the Insured shall appoint one arbitrator and the Insurer another; the two so appointed arbitrators shall select the third, who will act as the Chairman for the panel. The party which files the notice of arbitration shall include in such notice the identity of its party-appointed arbitrator. Within forty-five (45) days of service of the notice of arbitration, the second party shall notify the party that filed the notice of arbitration of the identity of its party-appointed arbitrator. At the time of the notification of the appointment, each side shall provide the other with a detailed curriculum vitae for the selected arbitrator, which shall include information regarding any potential conflict of interest of the selected arbitrator, including any financial or personal interest in the result of the arbitration or any past or present relationship with the parties or their representatives. All arbitrators shall be obligated to update his/her potential conflict of interest information throughout the arbitration. If (i) the party filing the notice of arbitration fails to include the identity of its party-appointed arbitrator, or (ii) the second party does not notify the first party of its party-appointed arbitrator within forty-five (45) days of service of the notice of arbitration, or (iii) the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to agree on a third arbitrator within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of appointment of the second arbitrator, then, on request of either party, the missing party-appointed arbitrator or the third arbitrator (as the case may be) shall be selected by the appointing authority specified in paragraph 4.d. There shall be no ex parte communications between a party and any of the arbitrators, except that a party-appointed arbitrator shall be permitted to communicate with the party that appointed him/her concerning (1) the identity of the Chairman and (2) issues associated with arbitrator invoices.
(d) The appointing authority shall be the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in New York, New York. The AAA shall select arbitrators from Primary - April 1, 2015 17 2015.02.04.13.16.50 P15-060
the panel of international arbitrators for the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, the international division of the AAA (the ICDR Roster). The arbitrators selected from the ICDR Roster shall be U.S.
nationals. If for any reason the AAA fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of the request for such appointment, either party may proceed pursuant to Article 75 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules of the State of New York and make application to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York for the appointment of the arbitrator.
(e) To the extent there is any inconsistency between the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules and the provisions of this Policy, the latter shall govern.
(f) The place of the arbitration shall be New York, New York, unless the parties agree upon another location.
(g) Within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the Chairman, the arbitrators shall conduct an initial conference to which the parties will be invited to attend. At the initial conference, the parties and arbitrators shall discuss, without limitation, (1) the procedures to be followed, (2) scheduling of submissions and hearings, and (3) a timetable for discovery.
At a minimum, the discovery order shall require the parties to provide each other non-privileged documents that are requested by the other side and that reasonably relate to the claims and defenses asserted in the arbitration. Following the initial conference, the arbitrators shall issue a Procedural Order to the parties setting forth the procedures and schedule.
(h) Within sixty (60) days of the close of the hearings (or the later of post-hearing oral argument or post-hearing written submissions should the arbitrators authorize them), the arbitrators shall issue their award, which shall be in writing and shall present a detailed statement of the factual and legal bases for the award. The award of the arbitrators shall require a majority of two votes. The arbitrators shall first determine the liability of the parties as to the dispute, claim or controversy, and then, only if necessary, determine the type and amount of relief to be granted. In no case may the arbitrators order the rescission or reformation of this Policy.
Further, unless the arbitrators determine that it is inappropriate under the circumstances of the case, the award shall provide that post-award interest shall begin to accrue at the rate of the Prime Rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal as of the date of the award, plus two (2) percent per annum from the date sixty (60) days after the award is delivered to the parties until the date the award is paid.
(i) The arbitrators shall award reasonable attorneys fees and costs to the prevailing party, not to exceed the amount of fees and costs incurred by the non-prevailing party. For this purpose, the fees incurred shall be Primary - April 1, 2015 18 2015.02.04.13.16.50 P15-060
calculated at reasonable hourly billing rates and shall include all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable costs of expert witnesses and consultants. If the Insured has retained counsel on a contingency fee basis, and the Insurer is the prevailing party, the arbitrators shall award the Insurer all of its reasonable attorneys fees and costs (without consideration of the fees and costs incurred by the Insured).
(j) In the event the award is challenged in court and the challenge is denied, the party that challenged the award shall pay the reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred by the non-challenging party in defending against the challenge to the award.
(k) The parties acknowledge that any dispute resolution proceeding is intended to be confidential and therefore agree to properly maintain and not disclose or reveal any information obtained from the other party pursuant to the terms of a Confidentiality Agreement to be executed between the parties at the beginning of the proceeding (the terms of which shall be determined by the arbitrators in the event that the parties are unable to agree). In the case of arbitration, the written decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be available to other Insureds of NEIL and ONEIL, except that any information within the written decision that the Insured can show is proprietary in nature will be redacted.
- 5. To the extent that any dispute, claim or controversy between the Insured and the Insurer hereunder is not subject to arbitration for any reason, or to the extent that applicable law otherwise permits the parties to seek provisional relief from the courts prior to the time that the arbitral panel is appointed, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, if federal jurisdiction cannot be attained) shall have exclusive jurisdiction thereof. For such purpose, the Insured agrees to accept, without objection to form or manner, service of process by registered mail or form of overnight mail to the person identified in Item 11 of the Declarations.
For such purpose, the Insurer agrees to accept, without objection to form or manner, service of process by registered mail, or overnight mail, directed to the Insurers General Counsel, at Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited, 1201 Market Street, Suite 1100, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. The foregoing consents to service of process are not intended, nor shall they be construed, to extend to any dispute, claim, controversy, cause of action, or other matter other than as stated in this paragraph.

I. Evaluations and Compliance with Loss Control Standards
- 1. The Insurer shall be permitted, but not obligated, to perform or to have performed on its behalf, evaluations of the Insured Property at any reasonable time. All evaluations and evaluation reports made by or on behalf of the Insurer are made solely for insurance purposes. Evaluation reports are based upon the conditions, practices and property observed and information made available at the time of the evaluation, and shall not be deemed to identify all hazards or to indicate that other hazards do not exist. The Insurer and those performing evaluations on its behalf shall not be responsible for the correction or control of any conditions, practices or property. Notwithstanding any other agreement, express or implied, to the contrary, neither the right to make an evaluation nor the making of an evaluation, nor any advice or report resulting therefrom, shall constitute or be construed as an undertaking on behalf of or for the benefit of the Insureds or others to determine or warrant that the facilities, operations or property are safe or healthful, or are in compliance with any law, rule, regulation, procedure or standard. It shall be the obligation of the Insureds to ensure that the Insurer is accorded the right to conduct an evaluation under this paragraph.
- 2. Notwithstanding the provisions in Paragraph V.I.5, upon discovery of a dangerous condition (the Dangerous Condition) with respect to any property, or part thereof, insured under this Policy (the Affected Property), whether discovered as a result of an evaluation or otherwise, a representative of the Insurer may (a) request that the Affected Property be taken out of service without delay, and/or (b) request that actions be taken to remedy the Dangerous Condition.
- 3. If a request made under Paragraph V.I.2 is not complied with, the Insurer may immediately suspend coverage as to the Affected Property and/or as to Property Damage that could have been avoided or reduced had the Dangerous Condition been remedied, provided, however, that there will be coverage for Property Damage if the Insured can demonstrate that the Property Damage was unrelated to the failure to take the requested action (and there is otherwise coverage under this Policy). Notice of the suspension (which may be made together with either request referred to in Paragraph V.I.2) shall be written and, notwithstanding any other provisions under this Policy, may be sent to the Member Insured by hand delivery, e-mail, fax or courier.
- 4. It shall be an obligation under this Policy that the Insured comply with the Shall Requirements contained in the Insurers Loss Control Standards.
- 5. When the Insurer learns of an Insureds failure to comply with, or to take agreed upon actions to correct a failure to comply with, a Shall Requirement contained in Primary - April 1, 2015 20 2015.02.04.13.16.50 P15-060
the Insurers Loss Control Standards, the Insurer may notify the Insured of the non-compliance, and upon or after such notification shall have the right to (a) adjust the Insureds premiums (Premium Adjustments) and/or the Insureds deductible (Deductible Adjustments), and/or (b) suspend coverage under this policy as to the property that is the subject of the applicable Shall Requirement and/or as to Property Damage that could have been avoided or reduced if not for the Insureds failure to comply with the applicable Shall Requirement, provided, however, that there will be coverage for Property Damage if the Insured can demonstrate that the Property Damage was not related to the noncompliance (and there is otherwise coverage under this Policy).
The Actions referred to in this Paragraph may be collectively referred to as Policy Adjustments.
- 6. Notification to the Insured about a non-compliance with the Shall Requirements contained in the Insurers Loss Control Standards shall be in writing (the Notification Letter) and, notwithstanding any other provisions under this Policy, may be sent to the Member Insured by hand delivery, e-mail, fax or courier. The date of the Notification Letter shall be referred to as the Notification Date. The Notification Letter shall set forth the specific Premium Adjustments and Deductible Adjustments to be made, which shall be assessed in accordance with the schedules contained in the Insurers Rating Procedures and Schedules then in effect. Deductible Adjustments shall apply in accordance with the details set forth in the Notification Letter.
- 7. Unless indicated otherwise in the Notification Letter, all Premium and Deductible Adjustments will take effect on the 31st calendar day after the Notification Date unless the Insured requests a variance (in accordance with the procedures contained in the Loss Control Standards) or requests that the applicable coverage be removed because the Insured has elected not to comply with the relevant Loss Control Standard requirement. The precise scope of any coverage removal will be described in an endorsement to the Policy.
- 8. Unless indicated otherwise in the Notification Letter, all Premium and Deductible Adjustments will remain in effect until the Insurer endorses the Policy to remove such Policy Adjustments. For purposes of determining whether an Accident took place during a period that there was a Deductible Adjustment, the relevant date is the date on which the Accident actually occurred and not any deemed date that may otherwise be defined in the Policy.
- 9. Notwithstanding the provisions in Paragraph V.I.6 any suspension of coverage under Paragraphs V.I.3 and V.I.5 shall be in accordance with the scope of coverage suspension set forth in writing and delivered to the Insured.
Primary - April 1, 2015 21 2015.02.04.13.16.50 P15-060
- 10. If the Insured requests a variance, no Premium or Deductible Adjustments will be implemented while the variance request is being considered by the Insurer. If the Insurer does not grant the variance, the Premium and Deductible Adjustments shall be applied retroactively to the day the Adjustments would have gone into effect under Paragraph V.I.7, even if the Insured requests a review or otherwise appeals the Insurers decision. The provisions of this paragraph will apply even in the event that an Accident actually occurs during the time that the variance request is being considered.
- 11. The Insurer may immediately suspend coverage under this Policy, in whole or in part, with respect to the Insured Property if (i) the NRC suspends or revokes for any reason the operating license issued with respect to any Unit on such Insured Property, or (ii) the NRC issues a shutdown order with respect to such Unit, or (iii) the NRC issues a confirmatory order keeping such Unit shut down. In the event that the Insurer chooses to suspend coverage under this provision, it shall notify the Member Insured in writing of that decision.
- 12. The coverage suspended in accordance with Paragraphs V.I.3 and V.I.5 above, as well as the coverage removed under Paragraph V.I.7 above, may be reinstated by the Insurer, but only by an endorsement issued to form a part of this Policy. The suspension of the insurance under this Policy will not affect the obligation of the Member Insured to pay the Retrospective Premium Adjustment callable by the Insurer under this Policy, or provide other assurances to the Insurer Pursuant to Section VI.2.
J. Insurer's Options It shall be the option of the Insurer to take all, or any part, of the destroyed or damaged Insured Property at the agreed or appraised value, and also to decontaminate or otherwise repair, or to rebuild or replace such Insured Property destroyed or damaged with other of like kind and quality within a reasonable time, on giving notice of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Proof of Loss as herein provided.

- 2. The insurance provided by this Policy shall not be reduced by the sum paid for any one Accident.

owed to the Insurer by the Insureds under this Policy or any other agreement or policy.
- 4. The Member Insureds recovery under Section I.A.1 and I.A.2 of this Policy shall not be decreased because the Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value, whichever is applicable, of the Insured Property is less than the Insurers limit of liability.
L. Mortgagee Interests and Obligations
- 1. If a Loss hereunder is assigned or made payable, in whole or in part, to a designated mortgagee not named herein as an Insured, such interest in this Policy may be canceled upon sixty (60) days' written notice of cancellation mailed or delivered to such mortgagee.
- 2. If the Insureds fail to meet the requirements stated herein in the case of Accidental Property Damage, such mortgagee, upon notice, shall render a written estimate of Loss within sixty (60) days and shall render Proof of Loss in the form approved by the Insurer within twelve (12) months thereafter and shall be subject to the provisions hereof relating to appraisal, arbitration and time of payment and of bringing suit. If the Insurer shall claim that no liability exists as to the mortgagor or owner, it shall, to the extent of payment of loss to the mortgagee, be subrogated to all the mortgagee's rights of recovery, but without impairing mortgagee's right to sue; or it may pay off the mortgage debt and require an assignment thereof and of the mortgage. Other provisions relating to the interests and obligations of such mortgagee may be added hereto by endorsement.
M. Natural Hazards
- 1. Windstorm Loss Each Loss by windstorm, tornado or hurricane shall constitute a single Accident; provided, if more than one windstorm, tornado or hurricane should occur within any period of ninety-six (96) hours commencing during the term of this Policy, and such windstorms, tornados or hurricanes have a common origin or are caused by a single atmospheric disturbance, then such windstorms, tornados or hurricanes shall be deemed to be a single windstorm, tornado or hurricane.

O. Policy Decisions and Notice Except as provided in paragraph Q of Section V, all decisions or actions made or taken with respect to this Policy may only be taken or made by the first named Member Insured and all such decisions or actions shall be binding on all Insureds. Such decisions or actions shall include, without limitation, decisions to give or not give notices of losses, to file or not file proofs of loss and to bring or not bring an action under the dispute resolution provision.

- 1. The value of the Insured Property that sustained Accidental Property Damage shall be the lesser of the actual repair costs or the Replacement Cost of such Insured Property, but only if such Insured Property that sustained Accidental Property Damage is repaired or replaced within a reasonable time with identical or like kind property on the same premises and intended for the same occupancy and use.

(b) The policy year to which any Retrospective Premium Adjustment relates shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Insurer at the time it makes the call for such Retrospective Premium Adjustment based on the date of the Accident under this Policy or any Other Insurance Policy giving rise to the obligation which such Retrospective Premium Adjustment is designed to satisfy. The aggregate of all Retrospective Premium Adjustments under this Policy shall not exceed the Retrospective Premium Adjustment set forth in Item 5.B of the Declarations.

(d) The obligation of the Member Insured for the Retrospective Premium Adjustment shall be and remain in full force and effect and all the above calculations shall be made without regard to whether or not the Insurer has any obligation to make payments under this Policy or this Policy is canceled or suspended.
- 6. When, for any purpose hereunder, it becomes necessary to calculate the obligation of the Member Insured for the Deposit Premium, it will be calculated as follows:

No downward adjustment in such Multiple and corresponding adjustment in any such Retrospective Premium Adjustment may be made with respect to any Retrospective Premium Adjustment which has been assigned by the Insurer, or in any Other Insurance Policy with coverage effective during the Policy Year, if the Multiple in any such Other Insurance Policy, after adjustment, would be less than the Multiple, after adjustment, in this Policy, unless a similar downward adjustment is made in the Multiple in this Policy, together with a corresponding adjustment in the Retrospective Premium Adjustment.
- 9. The liability of the Member Insured shall be limited to the Premium, Additional Premium the Retrospective Premium Adjustment or any unpaid portion thereof due to the Insurer under the terms of this Policy, and any assurance that may be required pursuant to Section VI.2. No Member Insured shall be subject to any contingent liability or be required to pay any dues or assessments in addition to such Premium, Additional Premium, Retrospective Premium, and any assurance under Section VI.2.

NUCLEAR ELECTRIC INSURANCE LIMITED POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE NUCLEAR POLICY RENEWALS NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 8, 2015 Coverage for acts of terrorism is already included in your current policy. However, under NEILs Payment for Acts of Terrorism endorsement, your recovery for losses stemming from an act of terrorism could be limited by the terms of the endorsement. However, in accordance with the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, which took effect January 8, 2015, (TRIPRA), NEILs Payment for Acts of Terrorism endorsement would not cap the damages for any certified acts of terrorism under TRIPRA.
You are hereby notified that under TRIPRA, the term act of terrorism means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury - in concurrence with other specified federal officials -
to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.
Under your coverage, any losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government under a formula established in TRIPRA. Your policy may contain other exclusions which might affect your coverage. Under the formula, for the 2015 calendar year, the United States Government generally reimburses 85% of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. This amount will be decreased on a phased in basis, at a rate of 1% per year, from 2016 to 2020, with the end result being that the United States Government will reduce reimbursement to 80% of covered terrorism losses for the year 2020. TRIPRA contains a $100 billion cap that limits U.S. Government reimbursement as well as insurers liability for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism when the amount of such losses exceeds $100 billion in any one calendar year. If the aggregate insured losses for all insurers exceed $100 billion, any insurer that has met its deductible will not be liable to pay for any losses in excess of the $100 billion sustained by its insureds. Thus, if the $100 billion cap is reached, your coverage may be reduced.
NEIL is neither increasing, nor attributing any portion of, the annual premium for terrorism coverage, but a surcharge might be added to the premium if, after a certified act of terrorism, the federal Department of Treasury requires a recoupment of certain amounts paid by the federal government in accordance with the terms of TRIPRA.

(b) If such Property Losses for all Insureds exceed the amount determined under paragraph 1 above, the Insureds maximum recovery shall be the amount determined under paragraph 1 above times a fraction, the numerator of which is the Insured's recovery for the Property Losses resulting from Accidental Property Damage, but for this Section, and the denominator of which is the sum of all Insureds recovery for Property Losses resulting from Accidental Property Damage under all applicable Nuclear Insurance Policies, including this Policy, but for this Section.
(c) Notwithstanding paragraph 1 and subparagraph 2(b) above, if the payments made pursuant to subparagraph 2(b) exhaust the amount determined under paragraph 1, without paying for all the Insureds Property Losses, the Insured shall recover such additional amounts that the Insurer recovers from reinsurance, indemnity, or other source, for the Insureds Property Losses.
- 3. Declarations Page Nothing herein shall be construed to entitle the Insured to recover more than the amount of the Policy Limits stated in Item 6 of the Declarations.
- 4. Relevant Period The twelve-month period specified above shall commence on the date of the first Accidental Property Damage caused by an Act of Terrorism. The first Accidental Property Damage caused by an Act of Terrorism that occurs after this or any other twelve-month period shall trigger a new twelve-month period.

(c) Builders Risk Policies means any Builders Risk Insurance Policies issued by the Insurer or by Overseas NEIL Limited.
- 6. Authorized Changes to this Section The Insurers Board of Directors will have the authority to alter or replace the definition of the term Act of Terrorism and any other provision of this Section in order to facilitate the availability of resources that may be made available by the Government in the country where the insured plant is located.
