AMENDMENT OF CONDITION 2 "INSPECTION; SUSPENSION" FACILITY FORM It is agreed that Condition 2 "INSPECTION; SUSPENSION" is replaced by the following:

2. INSPECTION;SUSPENSION. The companies shall at any time be permitted but not obligated to inspect the facility and all operations relating thereto and to examine the insured's books and records as far as they relate to the subject matter of this insurance. Neither the right to make inspections and examinations nor the making thereof nor any advice or report resulting therefrom shall consti-tute an undertaking, on behalf of or for the benefit of the insured or others, to determine or warrant that such facility or operations are safe or healthful, or are in compliance with any law, rule or regulation.

If a representative of the companies discovers a condition which he believes to be unduly dangerous with respect to the nuclear energy hazard, a representative of the companies may request that such condition be corrected without delay.

In the event of non-compliance with such request, a representative of the companies may, by notice to the named insured, to any other person or organization considered by the companies to be responsible for the continuance of such dangerous condition, and to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, suspend the insurance with respect to the named insured and such other person or organization effective 12:00 midnight of the next business day of such Commission following the date that such Commission receives such notice. The period of such suspension shall terminate as of the time stated in a written notice from the companies to the named insured and to each such person or organization that such condition has been-corrected.
