Paul A. Farr Talen Energy Corporation Executive Vice President 835 Hamilton Street, Suite 150 Tel. 610.774.2426 Fax610.774.4511 Allentown, PA 18101-2400 May 27,2015 PPL Susquehanna, LLC Two North Ninth Street Allentown, PA 18101 Ladies and Gentlemen:
On June 9, 2014, the Board of Directors of PPL Corporation adopted resolutions approving a transaction (the "Transaction") which will result in the indirect transfer of control of PPL Susquehanna, LLC to Talen Energy Corporation ("Talen Energy").
Promptly after closing of such transaction, PPL Susquehanna, LLC will be renamed Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC and is hereafter referred to as Susquehanna Nuclear.
In consideration of the benefits to be derived by Talen Energy from Susquehanna Nuclear, Talen Energy hereby agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, by and through its subsidiaries, as necessary, it will provide funds to Susquehanna Nuclear to assure that Susquehanna Nuclear will have sufficient funds available to meet its operating expenses at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station
("Susquehanna SES").
Upon closing of the Transaction, Susquehanna Nuclear will be a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Talen Energy, a publicly traded company whose other direct and indirect subsidiaries will include Talen Energy Holdings Inc., PPL Energy Supply, LLC (to be renamed Talen Energy Supply, LLC promptly after closing) and PPL Generation, LLC (to be renamed Talen Generation, LLC promptly after closing).
Talen Energy represents and warrants that, by and through its subsidiaries, as necessary, it will provide funding to Susquehanna Nuclear, at any time that the Board of Managers of Susquehanna Nuclear determines that, in order to protect the public health and safety and/or to comply with NRC requirements, such funds are necessary to meet its ongoing operating expenses for Susquehanna SES or such funds are necessary to safely maintain Susquehanna SES; provided, however, that Talen Energy's maximum liability to provide funding hereunder shall not exceed $205 million.
This agreement shall take effect upon closing of the Transaction resulting in indirect transfer of control of Susquehanna Nuclear to Talen Energy, as approved by the NRC, and will remain in effect and remain irrevocable until such time as either: (1)
Susquehanna Nuclear has submitted to the NRC written certifications meeting the requirements of 10 CFR §§ 50.4(b)(8) & (9} that the Susquehanna SES fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel, i.e., after Susquehanna Nuclear has determined to permanently cease Susquehanna SES operations, or (2) the NRC has given its prior written consent to the modification or discontinuance of the funding
PPL Susquehanna, LLC 2 May 27,2015 arrangements contemplated by this letter agreement. Talen Energy shall have the right to demand that Susquehanna Nuclear permanently cease Susquehanna SES operations rather than using funds available under this agreement for continued operations; provided that, in such event, Susquehanna Nuclear will nevertheless have the right to continue to obtain the funds necessary to assure the safe and orderly shutdown of Susquehanna SES and to continue the safe maintenance of Susquehanna SES until Susquehanna Nuclear can certify to the NRC that the fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel.
Talen Energy hereby represents and warrants to Susquehanna Nuclear that its obligations under this letter agreement are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Talen Energy in accordance with their terms (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles) and do not require the consent, approval or authorization of any Governmental Agency or third party other than those which have been obtained and are in full force and effect (or will be obtained on or prior to the closing of the Transaction).
Nevertheless, nothing herein is intended to constitute a guarantee by Talen Energy of any indebtedness of Susquehanna Nuclear or provide any rights enforceable by third parties.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Talen Energy hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and expressly waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time assert any claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling or assets or redemption laws, any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, or exemption, whether now or any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Talen Energy of its obligations hereunder.
This letter agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to conflict of law principles.
Very truly yours, Paul A. Farr
