for'U O3 g and-for UF6 shall be calculated in accordance with Exhibit OFA-IV. AFUDC included on CP&L's books as of the First l

Closing Date for. uranium material to be included in the Uranium l

Account as of such date shall be included in the Uranium Account pursuant to Section 7.5(A)(1). In addition, a proportionate part, reflecting Power Agency advc~.ces pursuant to Section 7.5(A)(3), of any APUDC accrued on the books of CP&L for ura-nium material in tha Uranium Account between the First Closing Date and any Subsequent Closing shall be included in the cal-celation of Power Agency's addition to its contribution to the Uranium Account to be paid on such Subsequent Closing. Such APUDC accrued on the books of CP&L shall be adjusted, for the purposes of the foregoing calculation, to eliminate any reduc-tion thereto associated with previous Power Agency contributions to the Uranium tccount.

(3) Power Agency shall make an initial payment for costs reflected in the Uranium Account, and the amount thus paid shall be periodically adjusted, as described in Exhibit OPA-III. In addition, Power Agency shall advance funds toward the costs reflected in the Uranium /ccount for each purchase of uranium material or associated services assigned to the Uranium Account, as described in Exhibit OFA-III. Such pay-monts shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.6.

(4) The following provisions shall govern with-drawals from the Uraniun Account l

(a). When uranium' material from the Uranium Account, UF6 sub-account, is designated for a specific unit, the f dollar amount by which the Uranium Account, UF6 sub-account, is l reduced (" Withdrawal value") shall be an amount equal to the l

product of the quantity of uranium material, in pounds, as UF6 '

designated, multiplied by the Average Unit Uranium Cost for UF6 in effect at the time of such designation.

(b) When' uranium material fran the Uranium Account, UF6 sub-account, is designated for a specific Harris or Brunswick Unit, Power Agency shall pay CP&L an. amount in dollars

! equal to:

[(X - P) x (Withdrawal value)] +Z Where X is Power Agency's undivided ownership interest (frac-tion), at the tbne of designation, in the Unit for which the i designation is made, P is Power Agency's portion of the Uranium i

Account, UF 6 sub-account, expressed as a decimal fraction, as cal-culated in Exhibit OPA-III in effect at the tbne of designation, i

and Z is the actual net effect on CP&L's federal and state income taxes (including tax on capital gains) attributable to APUDC in-cluded in the Uranium Account to the extent provided for in Sec-tion 7.5( A)(2) associated with the sale to Power Agency of such uranium material, as detennined in accordance with the principles set forth in Exhibit SA-V-6 of the Sales Agreement, and Withdrawal Value is as defined in Section 7.5(A)(4)(a) above. (If such calculated anount is a negative number of dollars, CP&L shall pay Power Agency the abaniute value in dollars of such amount.)

(c) When uranium material from the Uranium Account, UF g sub-account, is designated for a specific CP&L unit other than a Harris or Brunswick Unit, CP&L shall pay Power Agency an amount in dollars equal to:

(P) x (Withdrawal value)

Where P and Withdrawal value are as defined in Section 7.5( A)

(4)(a) and (b).

(d) When Nuclear Fuel Material fran the Uranium Account is sold, leased (except when CP&L retains title under a trust or other financing arrangement) or otherwise disposed of, the Withdrawal value as defined in Section 7.5(A)

(4)(a) shall be deducted from the Uranium Account and the owners shall share in the revenues from the sale, or other value received, in proportion to the ratios deteomined pur-suant to Section 7.8(B) as of the date of such transaction.

Any papnents due Power Agency under this Section 7.5(A)(4)(d) shall be paid as soon as prac . cable but not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by CP&L of the proceeds of such sale.

(e) Paynents specified in Section 7.5( A)

(4)(b) and (c) shall be due within thirty (30) days of notifica-tion of a designation for a specific Unit. Notification shall be made within fif teen (15) days of the date on which such de-signation is made.

(f) If unenriched uranium material is pro-

cured by CP&L in a chenical form other than U 038 r UF6, an equi-valent U 03 8 amount in pounds and cost in dollars to be recorded 7-15

in the Uranium Account shall be calculated, with the ccnversion factors in the calculation adjust'ed to reflect accurately the dif ferent chemical form.

(B) If Nuclear Fuel Material other than uranium is procured for a Brunswick or !!arris Unit pursuant to this Agree-ment, the principles of Section 7.5(A) shall apply. An ac-count separate from tne Uranium Account shall be maintained for any such other Nuclear Fuel Material so procured, and adjustments to any. conversion factors shall be made so as to accurately reflect the chemical and fissionable composition of the material. For purposes of determining the average unit cost of such material ,

pursuant to Section 7.5(A), the applicable time of determina-tion shall be the first month in which the material is specifi-cally identified or scheduled by CP&L for use at ' Brunswick or liarris Unit or for use at another generating facility of CP&L.

(C) Uranium obtained by CP&L as a result of explora-tion, mining and other ventures undertaken by CP&L, alone or with o thers, shall be included in the Uranium Account. All costs of such uranium appropriate for inclusion in the Utanium Account shall be determined by CP&L and shall include such items as mine and/or mill depreciation, operating costs, taxes and land rec-lamation costs, whether actual or anticipated, and shall take into account at -any point in time CP&L's best estimate of remain-ing ore reserve. If any uranium developed by a venture is sold 7-16

by or for CP&L to a party other than the parties to this Agree-ment, the' net revenue from such sale shall be distributed between the parties in the same proportion as they contributed mds to the venture producing the uranium sold.

(D) To the extent that the price of uraniam obtained from exploration, mining and other ventures, as determined in Section 7.5(C) above and recorded in the Uranium Account over the productive life of a given venture and charged to a Brunswick or Harris Unit, is insufficient to meet CP&L's obliga-tions in closing down the venture, Power Agency shall promptly pay CP&L, upon receipt of the final accounting for the venture, the amount of such deficiency in the proportion that the amount of uranium from the venture utilized in Power Agency's owner-ship interest in such Unit hears to the total amount of uranium produced by the venture over its productive life. To the extent such price of uranium exceeds Power Agency's portion of CP&L's obligations in closing down the venture, CP&L shall promptly re-imburse such excess to Power Agency in the proportion that the amount of uranium from the venture utilized in Power Agency's ownership interest in such Unit bears to the total amount of uranium produced by the venture over its productive life.

7.6 Advances for Procurement of Nuclear Fuel Material (A) In accordance with Sections 7.3 and 7.5, Power Agency shall . advance funds toward the costs of uranium material described in Section 7.5(A)(1)(b) acquired for the Uranium l

7-17 J

.aF-l Account. The amounts'so advanced shall not be segregated but shall be credited by CP&L as- Power Agency's contribution to the Uranium Account. The amounts advanced shall be used to of fset the cost of uranium material determined pursuant to Section 7.5. Amounts advanced by Power Agency for the Uranium Account n.ay not be used for any other purpose under-this Agreement or the Pelated Agreements. The amounts so advanced shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit OPA-III. For purposes of comparing advances to costs pursuant to Section 9.2(G), CP&L shall be deemed to have in-curred a fuel cost in the month in which CP&L pays for uranium material acquired for the Uranium Account. For a given acqui-sition of material, the cost attributable to Power Agency shall be determined in the same proportion used to calculate the ad vance . Any excess advance or deficiency in the advance

-shall be treated in accordance with Section 9.2(G).

(B) If Nuclear Fuel Material other than uranium is expected to be used at a Brunswick or Harris Unit pursuant to this Agreement, Power Agency shall provide advances pursuant to-the procedures set forth in Section 7.6(A). A separate nu-clear fuel account shall be maintained for each such other i Nuclear Fuel Material, and Power Agency's contribution shall be determined as set forth in Section 7.5(A) and Exhibit OPA-III.

(C) Power Agency shall make an advance to CP&L in accordance with Section 9.2 each time CP&L anticipates an 7-18

expenditure for exploration, mining or other ventures undertaken by CP&L, alone or with others, for the purpose of attempting to obtain uranium material or for evaluation of potential projects.

Of the total expenditure to be made by CP&L, the dollar amount to be advanced by Power Agency shall be calculated in the same proportion as the current fraction "P" as calculated in accordance with Exhibit OPA-III. Such funds advanced for mining, exploration, or other ventures shall be credited by CP&L to a Uranium Venture Account, established for Power Agency, which shall record the advances by venture. Amounts in Power Agency's Uranium Venture Account may not be used for any other purposes under this Agree-ment or the Related Agreemes.ts. If a given venture produces uranium, such advances shall be treated as Power Agency's con-tribution to the Uranium Account at such time and in such manner as to be consistent with the way in which CP&L treats its own outlays for such venture. If a given venture does not produce uranium, Power Agency's portion of such expendituree shall be debited to Power Agency's Uranium Venture Account. Further, Power Agency's portion of the expenditures for such venture shall be accounted for in such manner as to be consistent with the way in which CP&L treats its own outlay for such venture.

Payments required pursuant to this Section 7.6(C) shall be made pursuant to Sections 9.2(E) and 9.2(F).

7-19

i 7.7 Advances for Procurement of Fossil Fuel Material (A) In consideration of the provisions of Section 3.1(C), when Power Agency exercises its participation rights pursuant to Section 3.l(G), Power Agency shall make an advance to CP&L for its proportionate share, as set out in Section 9.2, of all costs each time CP&L anticipates an expenditure for explo-ration, mining, or other ventures undertaken by CP&L, alone or with others, for the purpose of attempting to obtain Fossil Fuel Material or for evaluation of potential projects. In the event the expenditure is to be made in connection with a venture relating to the Mayo Plant, or either Unit thereof, or Roxboro Unit No. 4, the dollar amount to be advanced by Power Agency.

shall be calculated in the proportion which its owncrship in-terest in such plant or Unit bears to the total expenditure.

In the event the expenditure is to be made in connection with a venture related not to the Mayo Plant, or either Unit thereof, or Re:, boro Unit No. 4 but to all of CP&L's fossil fuel units, the dollar amount to be advanced by Power Agency shall be calculated by applying to the total expenditure the ratio of Power Agency's undivided ownership share in fossil-fueled generating facilities on the Combined System expressed in MW to the total capacity of fossil-fueled generating facilities on the Combined System having comparable -fossil fuel quality and annual quantities requirements expressed in MW. In the event an expenditure is to be nade for a venture which is 7-20

not related to the Mayo Plant, or either Unit thereof, or Roxboro Unit !!n. 4, nor to all of CP&L's fossil fuel units, the dollar Gmount to be advanced by Power Agency shall be the subject of negotiations between the parties based on the facts as they exist at the time of such negotiations. Such payments shall be made pursuant to Sections 9.2(E) and 9.2(F).

(u) Such funds advanced for mining, exploration or other ventures may not be used for any other purposes under this Agreement or the Related Agreements. If a given venture produces Fossil Fuel Material, the amount of such advances shall be credited to the amounts due from Power Agency pursuant to Section 7.4 at such time and in such manner as to be consis-I tent with the way in which CP&L treats its own outlays for such i venture. Further, Power Agency's portion of the expenditures for l

l such venture shall be accounted for in such manner as to be con-i sistent with the way in which CP&L treats its own outlay for such venture. If a given venture is liquidated, Power Agency's portion of the profit or loss realized from the liquidation shall

, be credited or debited to the appropriate account of Power Agency by CP&L at such time and in such manner as to be consis-tent with the way in which CP&L treats its own outlJys for such venture.

OFA-IV-1 DETERMINATION OF URANIUM ACCOUNT AVERAGE UNIT URANIUM COST

1. Definition of Uranium Account Subaccounts The Uranium Account shall consist of three subaccounts, as l follows:

a.. U 2 0n Subaccount -This subaccount shall contain the quantities and associated costs of -nuclear material in the form of U 038 to which CP&L holds title or has the ri.ght to utilize by lease or otherwise.

b. Inventory and Conversion (I&C) Subaccount -This subaccount shall contain the quantities and associated l

costs of nuclear material during the U 038 to UF6 conversion process when CP&L holds title to or has the ,s l right to utilize such nuclear material by lease or otherwise.

l c. UFs Subaccount --This subaccount shall contain the quantities and associated costs of nuclear material in the form of unenriched UF6 to which CP&L holds title or l

OFA-IV-2 has the right to utilize L'y lehae or otherwise and

~

which has not been de'eignated to the account of a

- specific reactor pursuant to Section 3.2.

2. Overview of Subaccount Process

a. Nuclear material delivered to CP&L in the form of U03 8 shall be credited to the Uranium Account, U038 Subaccount, upon payment of the delivery invoices. A record of all cost of the material (including escalation thereon) and the cost associated with the acquisition, transportation, storage, weighing and sampling, etc., and the quantity of such material in pounds of U380 , shall be maintained for the U 038 Subaccount. The Average it Uranium Cost (in dollars per pound U 38 0 ) for U3 0g shall be computed in accordance with paragraph 3. below. Dollars associated with nuclear mater!al transferred from the U 038 Subaccount shall be computed as the product of the pounds of U 3Og transferred and the Average Unit Uranium Cost for U 038 in effect on the transfer date.

_ _ , ~ _

II' L

OFA-IV-3

b. When nuclear material in the U 038 Subaccount enters the conversion prncess, which shall. be the date required by conversion contracts for delivery of material required for conversion, such material shall be transferred to the I&C Subaccount. Transfer would include (i) the quantity of nuclear material which is entering the conversion process in pounds of U 03 8 and (ii) dollars associated with such nuclear material, computed as the product of the pounds of U 038 transferred and the Average Unit Uranium Cost for U 038 in-effect on the transfer date.

c. Upon completion of the conversion process (which shall be at the conversion delivery date) the nuclear material.in question shall be transferred from the I&C Sabaccount to the UF6 Subaccount. Quantity recorded in the UF6 Subaccount shall be in units of pounds U as UF6*

Dollars transferred from the I&C Subaccount shall be '

those dollars previously transferred from the U 38 0 Subaccount to the I&C Subaccount for the quantity of I

L nuclear material in question. Quantity of nuclear l material transferred to the UF 6 Subacount shall be the pounds U as UF6 actually produced by,the conversion I

r

OFA-IV-4 process. Conversion and associated charges and expenses incurred by the nuclear material in question since entering the conversion process shall be charged to the UF6 Subaccount with such transfer. The Average Unit Uranium Cost (in dollars per pound U as UF 6) for UF6 shall be computed in accordance with paragraph 3. below.

Dollars associated with nuclear material transferred from the UP6 Subaccount shall be computed as the product of the pounds of U as UF6 transferred and the Average Unit Uranium Cost for UF6 in effect on the transfer date.

3. Computation of Subaccotint Balances and Average Unit Uranium Cost for UqOg and for UFg As of the First Closing Date and on the first day of each -

subsec.uent month, balances shall be determined for the U03 8 and UF6 Subaccounts. The dollar balance for each subaccount shall include the balance on the first day of the previous month plus the cost of any additions and less the cost of any withdrawals niado during the previous month. The quantity balance for each subaccount shall include the balance on the first day of the previous month plus the quantity of any material transferred into the subaccount and less the quantity of any material transferred out of the

[

t l

OFA-IV-5 subaccount during the previous month. Using these new balances, the Average Unit Uranium Cost for U 03 8 and for UF6 shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount in each subaccount by the aggregate quantity of uranium material in the respective subaccount. If, as of the date of a withdrawal of nuclear material from a subaccount, transactions have occurred with respect to such subaccount which would affect the then most recently computed Average Unit Uraniur Cost for such subaccount, then the Average Unit Uranium Cost for such subaccount shall be recomputed and applied in the determination of the cost of nuclear material so withdrawn.

4. Computation Precision The Average Unit Uranium Cost computations described in Section 3 above shall be rounded to two (2) decimal places.

OFA-VIII-l SPENT FUEL STORAGE MONTHLY CHARGE CALCULATION Pursuant to Article 4 of the operating Agreement and Article 17 of the Sales Agreement, CP&L may utilize the spent fual storage facilities at the Brunswick and Harris Plants for opent. fuel-that is other than Brunswick or Harris fuel. Although a very detailed methodology for calculating monthly storage charges for such spent fuel could be developed, the parties agree that the effort and expense necessary are not justified when the cmount of money'and the inherent uncertainties involved are L considered. Thus, in order to simplify the procedures, the perties agree that the monthly charges as determined by this Exhibit shall apply to other than Brunswick spent fuel stored at the Brunswick Plant subsequent to the First Closing Date and to other than Harris spent fuel stored at the Harris Plant cubsequent to the date of Commercial Operation of the first-Harris Unit.

Within five years after the First Closing Date, and at

- intervals of each five years thereafter, and at any time that a c'gnificant i change in the operating costs for spent fuel storage r

F hos occured or a major capital addition or repair has been made to the spent fuel storage facilities at the Brunswick Plant or at

OFA-VIII-2 l- the 11arris Plant, the parties shall review the actual costs where identifiable and apprapriate allocations where costs cannot be specifically identified, and the parties agree . to negotiate reasonable modifications to.the spent fuel-storage charge, if necessary, to restore equity based upon the principles outlined in-this Exhibit OPA-VIII.
