RECITALS WHEREAS, pursuant to the Debtors proposed Modified First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization [Docket No. 2622] (as it may be further amended or modified, the Plan ), the Debtors filed that certain Notice Regarding (I) Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, (II) Proposed Cure Obligation, and (III) Related Procedures [Docket No. 2645] (as supplemented, the Notice ); 2 and WHEREAS, the Notice identified certain contracts between Debtors and Mitsubishi Parties that may be subject to assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection under the Plan; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan Funding Agreement ( PFA ), the Plan Sponsor may designate executory contracts for assumption or rejection through and until five Business Days before the Effective Date of the Plan; and WHEREAS, the Mitsubishi Parties timely filed an Objection and Reservation of Rights of Certain Mitsubishi Entities Regarding (A) Assignment to Wind Down Co, or Rejection, of Certain Contracts, and (B) Transfer of Intellectual Property Free and Clear of License Interests [Docket No. 2849] (the Objection ) in response to the Notice and certain aspects of the Plan; and 2 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. 2

6 Pg 6 of 10 WHEREAS, the Parties wish to specify the treatment under the Plan of all contracts between Debtors and Mitsubishi Parties, and to clarify the treatment under the Plan and Confirmation Order of any interest thereunder of any Mitsubishi Party; NOW THEREFORE, to resolve the Objection and facilitate confirmation of the Plan, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties hereby stipulate as follows herein. AGREEMENT 1. The foregoing recitals are incorporated into this agreement as though fully set forth 2. Each of the following contracts (each, a Mitsubishi Executory Contract ) is an executory contract for purposes of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and an Original Contract as defined in and for purposes of the PFA a. Nuclear Service Technology Cooperation Agreement, dated January 12, 1994, by and among MHI, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, and Westinghouse International Technology Corporation (the NSTCA ); b. New Technical Cooperation Agreement, dated January 1, 2000, by and among MHI, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, and Westinghouse International Technology LLC (the MHI NTCA ); c. New Technical Cooperation Agreement, dated January 1, 2000, by and among MNF, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, and Westinghouse International Technology LLC (the MNF NTCA ); d. New APWR Technology Agreement, dated February 8, 2001, by among MHI, Westinghouse Electric Company LLC and Westinghouse Technology Licensing Company LLC (the NATA ); and e. Technical Assistance and Patent Sublicense Agreement for Advanced Scale Conditioning Agents and Ultrasonic Energy Cleaning, effective as of April 1, 2006 (renewed and amended as of April 1, 2016), by and between MHI and Westinghouse Technology Licensing Company LLC (the TAPSA ). 3. To the extent they have not already done so, the Debtors shall list each of the above Mitsubishi Executory Contracts in the Schedule of Assumed Contracts filed by the Debtors on 3

7 Pg 7 of 10 March 22, 2018 (the Schedule ). Any omission from the Notice or the Schedule of any other contract between a Mitsubishi Party and a Debtor which is an executory contract as of the date hereof is inadvertent and is not intended to cause or result in the rejection of such contract (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be a Mitsubishi Executory Contract hereunder and an Original Contract under the PFA). 4. No Mitsubishi Executory Contract shall be assigned to Wind Down Co under the Plan or otherwise. 5. The Debtors do not intend to reject, and are not aware that the Plan Investor intends to reject (or otherwise have treated as an Excluded Contract), any Mitsubishi Executory Contract. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the PFA (to the extent applicable), the NSTCA, MHI NTCA, MNF NTCA, and NATA are not precluded from being Designated Contracts (as defined in the PFA). 6. In the event a Mitsubishi Executory Contract is rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, under the Plan or otherwise, each applicable Mitsubishi Party s rights, including but not limited to its rights under section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, are preserved. Nothing in this Stipulation constitutes an election of remedies. 7. Any contract between a Mitsubishi Party and a Debtor (or its affiliate(s)) which is not an executory contract as of the date hereof (or is not an executory contract as between the Mitsubishi Party and Debtor party thereto) (each, a Mitsubishi Vested Contract, and collectively with the Mitsubishi Executory Contracts, the Mitsubishi Contracts ) is not eligible to be assumed, assigned or rejected under the Bankruptcy Code or the Plan. Mitsubishi Vested Contracts include, without limitation, the following 4

Beacon License Agreement, effective as of December 15, 1993 (as amended September 6, 2001), by and between MHI and Westinghouse Electric Corporation; and e. Filtered Containment Venting System Agreement about the Basic Required Specification for RFQ, dated July 31, 2017, by and between MHI and Westinghouse Electric Japan, Ltd. 8. The Debtors shall include the following provision in their proposed form of Confirmation Order Mitsubishi Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Plan Funding Agreement, or this Confirmation Order, the assets vesting in the Reorganized Debtors shall remain subject to any interests therein and rights expressly granted to any Mitsubishi Party (or its affiliates) (as defined in that certain Stipulation and Agreed Order By and Between Debtors and Certain Mitsubishi Entities filed with the Court on March 23, 2018 at ECF No. [ ]) (the Mitsubishi Stipulation ) under, and any obligations expressly arising under or in connection with, any Mitsubishi Contract (as defined in the Mitsubishi Stipulation). 9. Upon filing of this Stipulation, the MHI Parties agree that their Objection is resolved and will be withdrawn. 5

9 Pg 9 of The Parties intend for this Stipulation to survive entry of any order confirming the Plan. 11. This Stipulation may not be modified, altered, amended, or vacated other than by a signed writing executed by the Parties. 12. Each person who executes this Stipulation on behalf of a Party hereto represents that he or she is duly authorized to execute this Stipulation on behalf of such Party. 13. This Stipulation contains the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, and undertakings between the Parties, relating to the subject matter hereof. 14. This Stipulation shall be filed and become part of the record in the Debtors chapter 11 cases. 15. This Stipulation shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. 16. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree that the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to interpret, implement, and enforce the provisions of this Stipulation. 17. This Stipulation may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Evidence of execution of this Stipulation may be exchanged by fax or by electronic transmission of a scanned copy of the signature pages or by exchange of an original signed document, each of which shall be as fully binding on the Party as a signed original.
