G. Dispute Resolution The Insurer and the Insured mutually acknowledge that the form, terms and conditions of the Policy have been formulated by representatives of the participating utilities in order to provide insurance coverage which-is vital to all participants. It was 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 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; (b) The intentions of the Insurer and the Insured, including any extrinsic evidence of intent; (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 is not applicable to this insurance policy.
2.' The Insurer and Insured agree to endeavor to resolve any dispute between them by means of voluntary proceedings to be agreed upon between them. In the event of a dispute, either the Insurer or the Insured may request the other to participate in an alternative dispute resolution proceeding. The Insurer and the Insured acknowledge, depending upon the circumstances, that an appropriate proceeding may include but is not limited to one or more of the following: early neutral evaluation, mediation, mini-trial, neutral fact finding, or senior peer review. In the absence of the parties agreeing to participate in an alternative dispute resolution process, the Insurer will agree, at the request of the Insured, to submit the dispute to senior peer review, unless otherwise.determined by.the Insurer's Board of Directors..The Insurer agrees to pay the fees and expenses of any neutral party associated with the procedures. The use of any such or other proceeding is voluntary to both the Insurer and Insured, but each acknowledges that it is in the best interests of the mutual enterprise to resolve disputes by such voluntary means where possible, and without the need for final and binding arbitration between them.
NEIL Primary Property- October 1, 2007 12

Arbitration of a dispute is final and binding. The Insured and the Insurer shall try in good faith to agree on the appointment of a sole arbitrator to settle the dispute. In the event the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a sole arbitrator, they can agree to have a sole arbitrator appointed by the then President of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York or in the absence of agreement to do so, a three-person arbitration panel shall be appointed. In the event that either the Insured or the Insurer determines that the dispute is not appropriate for a sole arbitrator, a three-person arbitration panel shall be appointed.
In such instance, the Insured shall appoint one arbitrator and the Insurer another; the two so appointed shall select the third. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on a third arbitrator for a period of sixty calendar days from the date of appointment of the second arbitrator, then on request of the Insured or the Insurer such third arbitrator shall be selected by the then President of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. The Insured and the Insurer may by express agreement determine the arbitral procedures to be followed; in the event the parties do not agree, New York law,' including the statutory rules on arbitration, shall govern all matters of procedure.
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 land amount of relief to be granted. The arbitrators shall award reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party in such amount as they determine appropriate, not to exceed the amount of fees and costs incurred by the non-prevailing party. For this purpose, the fees incurred shall be calculated at reasonable prevailing hourly billing rates and include all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
- 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 whatever, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction thereof.

Policy shall not exceed the Retrospective Premium Adjustment set forth in Item 5.B of the Declarations.
(c) Subject to the provisions with respect to calls made in the event of failure to pay by Delinquent Members, the amount of any call for a Retrospective Premium Adjustment hereunder shall bear the same relation to the total Retrospective Premium Adjustment, payable by all Member Insureds of the Insurer under such call as the highest Premium plus Additional Premium determined under subparagraph (a)(ii) above bears to the aggregate Premiums plus Additional Premiums, used to calculate the total of all such calls, under this Policy and all Other Insurance Policies with coverage effective during the Policy Year.
(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.

NEILII Policy- October 1, 2007 8
- 7. Concealment, Fraud. The Insurer shall have no obligation to make any payments under this Policy if, whether before or after an Accident, any Insured has willfully concealed or misrepresented in writing any material fact or circumstance concerning this insurance or the subject thereof, or the interest of any Insured therein, or in case of any fraud or false swearing by any Insured relating thereto; but the application of this provision shall not affect the Member Insured's obligation to pay the Retrospective Premium Adjustment callable by the Insurer
'under this Policy.
- 8. Currency All payments required to be made under this Policy by the Member Insured or the Insurer shall be made in United States dollars.
- 9. Dispute Resolution.
(a) The Insurer and the Insured mutually acknowledge that the form, terms and conditions of the Policy have been formulated by representatives of the participating utilities in order to provide insurance coverage which is vital to all participants. It, was 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 tenrms of the Policy are disputed. For the foregoing reasons, the Insurer and the Insured agree that the following principles shall govern the interpretation of the Policy:
(i) Even-handedness and fairness to both the Insurer and the Insured; (ii) The intentions of the Insurer and the Insured, including any extrinsic evidence of intent; (iii) The practice of the Insurer and the Insured in interpreting and applying the Policy; (iv) The cooperative rather than adversarial relationship between the Insurer and the Insured; and (v) The contract construction rule of contra proferentemn is not applicable to this insurance policy.
(b) The Insurer and Insured agree to endeavor to resolve any dispute between them by means of voluntary proceedings to be agreed upon between them.
In the event of a dispute, either the Insurer or the Insured may request the other to participate in an alternative dispute resolution proceeding. The Insurer and the Insured acknowledge, depending upon the circumstances, NEIL 11Policy -October 1,20079
that an appropriate proceeding may include but is not limited to one or more of the following: early neutral evaluation, mediation, mini-trial, neutral fact finding, or senior peer review. In the absence of the parties agreeing to participate in an alternative dispute resolution process, the Insurer will agree, at the reque 'st of the Insured, to submit the dispute to senior peer review, unless otherwise determined by the Insurer's Board of Directors. The Insurer agrees to pay the fees and expenses of any neutral party associated with the procedures. The use of any such or other proceeding is voluntary to both the Insurer and Insured, but each acknowledges that it is in the best interest~s of the mutual enterprise to resolve disputes by such voluntary means where possible, and without the need for final and binding arbitration between them.
(c) The Insured and Insurer agree in good faith to consider, in connection with any dispute, the Statement of Dispute Resolution Principles adopted by the Insurer's Board of Directors and Members, as it may be amended from time to time.
(d) Any claim or controversy between the Insured and the Insurer as to any matters arising out of or relating to this Policy, which is not settled between themselves, pursuant to paragraph 9(b) above or otherwise, shall be submitted at the request of either the Insured or the Insurer to arbitration in New York City unless the parties agree as to another location. Arbitration of a dispute is final and binding. The Insured and the Insurer shall try in good faith to agree on the appointment of a sole arbitrator to settle the dispute. In the event the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a sole arbitrator, they'can agree to have a sole arbitrator appointed by the then President of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York or in the absence of agreement to do so, a three-person arbitration panel shall be appointed. In the event that either the Insured or the Insurer determines that the dispute is not appropriate for a sole arbitrator, a three-person arbitration panel shall be appointed. In such instance, the Insured shall appoint one arbitrator and the Insurer another; the two so appointed shall select the third. If the two arbitrators fail to agree on a third arbitrator for a period of sixty calendar days from the date of appointment of the second arbitrator, then on request of the Insured or the Insurer such third arbitrator sh 'all be selected by the then President of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. The Insured-and the Insurer may by express agreement determine the arbitral procedures to be followed; in the event the parties do not agree, New York law, including the statutory rules on arbitration, shall govern all matters of procedure.
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. The arbitrators shall award reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party in such amount as they determine appropriate, not to exceed the amount of fees and costs incurred by the non-prevailing party. For this purpose, the fees incurred NEIL II Policy -October 1,2007 1 10
shall be calculated at reasonable prevailing hourly billing rates and include all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

NEIL II, October 1, 2007 1
NUJCLEAR ELECTRIC INSURANCE LIMITED POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE Coverage for acts of terrorism is already included in your current policy. However, under NEIL's Payment for Acts of Terrorism endorsement, your recovery for losses stemming from an act of terrorism might have been limited. You should know that in accordance with the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the "Act"), as extended on December 22, 2005, under your existing coverage, NEIL's Payment for Acts of Terrorism endorsement would be inapplicable to any losses caused by certified acts of terrorism under the Act and such losses would be partially reimbursed by the United States under a formula established by federal law. Under this formula, the United States pays 90% (85% for the calendar year 2007) of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage, up to an annual national limit. NEIL is neither increasing, nor attributing any portion of, your annual premium for terrorism coverage.
