COMPUTER ACCESS AND OPERATING AGREEMENT Purpose This Computer Access and Operating Agreement ("Agreement") is made between the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") and Exelon Generation Company, LLC ("EGC") for the purpose of providing the NRC at Limerick Generating Station view only access to certain data and information possessed by EGC (in either hard copy or electronic format), this data and information being necessary for the NRC to fulfill its regulatory obligations, including inspection oversight.

Basis of Agreement WHEREAS, EGC is willing, per the terms established below, to provide NRC staff with on-site access to certain data and/or information systems {hardcopy or electronic), including hardware and software associated with electronic systems, owned by or otherwise under the control of EGC, so that data and information needed for NRC inspection activities may be accessed in an efficient manner, the parties agree to the following:

Terms

1.

At no charge to the NRC, EGC will make available and maintain for the NRC staff at Limerick Generating Station a computer terminal, along with associated hardware and software, for the NRC staff to access electronically-stored data and/or information necessary for the performance of the NRC's regulatory responsibilities. If not already installed, EGC will install this terminal in the NRC Resident Inspectors' office in such a way that the terminal is isolated from any other computer system located in that office.

2.

The electronically-stored data and/or information referenced in Paragraph 1 will be available to the NRC on a view-only basis. The NRC will not have the ability to modify such data and/or information, nor will the NRC have the ability to alter the programming of any software associated with the data and/or information. However, the NRC will have the capability to print out and/or to store local electronic copies of such data and/or information as may be retrievable. The NRC will not install any software on the provided computer terminal other than those programs provided by EGC pursuant to this Agreement. EGC, including EGC's agents, representatives, or employees will not assume any responsibility whatsoever for defects in the provided software and hardware or for any consequences that result therefrom. EGC agrees, upon notification by the NRC of any defective or malfunctioning software or hardware, to make reasonable efforts to provide appropriate comparable replacements, within a reasonable time following notification.

3.

EGC acknowledges that all communications that are part of the NRC regulatory process will continue to be accomplished In a format

consistent with relevant NRG regulations found in Title 1 O of the Code of Federal Regulations, i.e., in a paper format or by electronic exchange and processed according to the NRC's normal docketing procedures.

4.

The NRG acknowledges that all data and/or information residing on or accessible from the EGG-provided computer terminal and any hard copy printouts of such data made available to the NRC pursuant to this Agreement are "owned" and under the "control" of EGG. The NRG will treat such data and/or information as proprietary to EGG unless determined otherwise. However, in an NRG Resident Inspector's office, any data which the NRG has chosen for some future NRG purpose to reduce to hard copy printout or to transfer to any electronic storage medium (e.g., computer hard drives, DVDs, and flash drives) is considered an agency record under federal law. In the event a request is received by the NRG for any such EGC data and/or information residing on NRG-controlled electronic storage media or otherwise in NRC's possession, the NRG will provide EGG, prior to any public release, the opportunity to request that the data and/or information be withheld from public disclosure based upon its proprietary nature. Such requests by EGG to withhold any data and/or information will be accompanied by an affidavit in accordance with NRG regulations.

5.

Once it is done using the hard copy printouts of EGG data or information described above in Paragraph 4, NRG will either return them or destroy them in accordance with NRG-approved policies or procedures.

6.

EGG data and/or information that the NRG will not have access to on the EGG-provided computer terminal includes draft documents and documents marked as "attorney-client privileged" or "attorney work product."

7.

Upon execution by both parties, the terms of this Agreement supersede the terms of any prior agreement between the NRG and EGG concerning the same.

8.

This Agreement shall remain in effect until terminated by either party giving ten days prior written notice of termination to the other party.
