SCHEDULE 6

DECOMMISSIONING AND WASTE FUNDING PRINCIPLES

(1)       The decommissioning and radioactive waste management and disposal for the Visaginas New Nuclear Power Plant (NNPP) shall be based on a “polluter pays” principle and established in accordance with the principles and procedures set out herein.

(2)       RoL shall ensure that any Laws applicable to the decommissioning of the NNPP and/or the management or disposal of radioactive waste originating from the NNPP are consistent with the Decommissioning and Waste Management Principles (as defined below) and the other provisions of this Schedule 6.

Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements

(3)       The detailed procedures, methods and outcomes for the decommissioning of the NNPP and management and disposal of radioactive waste during the period from first criticality of the NNPP until the completion of all decommissioning works together with the method for estimating and revising the costs of decommissioning and planning for expenditure shall be set out in detailed decommissioning and waste management provisions (the “Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements”) in accordance with this Schedule 6.

(4)       The PCO shall be responsible for the preparation of the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements in a manner which is consistent with the Decommissioning and Waste Management Principles (as defined below).

(5)       The Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements shall be submitted by the PCO to the Supervising Authority (as defined below) for review. The Supervising Authority shall be established, resourced and staffed and will conduct its activities in a manner consistent with the Commission Recommendation of 24 October 2006 on the management of financial resources for the decommissioning of nuclear installations, spent fuel and radioactive waste (2006/851/Euratom) and the Guide to the Commission Recommendation on the management of financial resources for the decommissioning of nuclear installations, spent fuel and radioactive waste (2006/851/Euratom) (both together - the "Commission Requirements") and the principles set out herein.

(6)       The arrangements for the funding of decommissioning of the NNPP and the funding of management and disposal of radioactive waste shall be carried out in accordance with the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements (as revised from time to time in accordance with this Schedule 6).

(7)       No Law will provide for any project participant or direct or indirect investor in the PCO to have any liability to any person in connection with the matters referred to in paragraph 6.

(8)       The PCO shall maintain and update the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements to ensure continuing compliance with the Decommissioning and Waste Management Principles (as defined below).

(9)       The Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements and the cost estimates contained therein shall be updated every five years and whenever information becomes available to the PCO which will result in a material change to the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements or the estimated costs of decommissioning the NNPP. The adequacy of the fund's assets shall be assessed annually.

Decommissioning and Waste Management Principles

(10)     The principles for the decommissioning of the NNPP and the management and disposal of radioactive waste shall include the following matters:

• a sufficiently high certainty basis for estimating the cost and a method for its determination;

• clear division of rights, responsibilities and liabilities in relation to fund management;

• regular contributions to the Fund by the PCO, subject to paragraph 7, as the PCO is the only private sector party which will be required by applicable law to make contributions to the Fund or for the implementation of decommissioning and waste management arrangements;

• a mechanism for a conservative estimation and independent verification of growth assumptions of the Fund;

• a mechanism and a sufficient prudent timescale for correction of any underfunding or overfunding of the Fund;

• regular updates of the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements, the cost estimates of the respective arrangements; fund performance, its financial assumptions, adequacy and contribution levels;

• a price firming process for the calculation of costs for management and final disposal of waste from the Ignalina NPP and Visaginas NNPP (subject to an agreement between the parties in accordance with paragraph 15 of this Schedule 6)

(11)     Decommissioning and waste management and disposal methods and procedures shall be based on the most up-to-date available knowledge of the state of the plant and up-to-date and proven technologies and methods at each of the reviews referred to in paragraph 9.

(12)     The costs of decommissioning, waste management and disposal shall be estimated on a transparent basis and the methods and procedures used for estimating costs shall ensure a sufficiently high certainty as to the projected future costs of decommissioning at all stages throughout the expected operating life of the NNPP.

(13)     There shall be a clear division of rights, responsibilities and liabilities between the RoL and the PCO with respect to decommissioning, waste management and disposal based on the principles set out herein.

(14)     Without limiting the operation of paragraph 15, the PCO may elect at its option (to the extent in accordance with applicable Law and regulation) that the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high level waste shall be achieved by one of:

• construction and operation of a national geological disposal facility in Lithuania;

• to the extent permitted by Law and to the extent feasible, disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high level waste into a geological disposal facility developed on a regional (international) level;

• reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel and consequent disposal of reprocessed waste or by-products of reprocessing in a national or regional (international) geological disposal facility; or

• a combination of any or all of the above.

(15)     The parties acknowledge that if RoL intends to construct and operate a geological disposal facility in Lithuania for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high level waste originating from the Ignalina NPP (the “Shared Facility”), then the PCO may elect, at its option, to explore options with the RoL to utilise the Shared Facility for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high level waste originating from the Visaginas New Nuclear Power Plant. If the PCO and RoL agree, acting reasonably, to use the Shared Facility for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high level waste originating from the Visaginas New Nuclear Power Plant, then RoL and the PCO shall share the costs associated with the development and use of that Shared Facility on an equitable basis and shall have regard to any cost savings derived from the synergies between the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high level waste originating from the Ignalina NPP and the Visaginas New Nuclear Power Plant. The PCO’s contribution with respect to such cost sharing as described in this paragraph 15 shall be pro rata to the quantity and nature of spent fuel and other high level waste to be deposited and storage space to be used in connection with the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other high level waste originating from the Visaginas New Nuclear Power Plant.

(16)     The PCO may at its option enter into a contract with the body appointed by the Lithuanian State to manage and/or dispose the waste and/or construct appropriate facilities for the purpose of waste management and disposal on its own.

(17)     The waste management and/or disposal fees of the body appointed by the Lithuanian State to manage and/or dispose radioactive waste originating from the NNPP (the Radioactive Waste Manager) shall be cost based reflecting research and development, design, construction, operational, closure and surveillance costs of the management and/or disposal facility. Cost will be defined in the respective contract with the body appointed by the Lithuanian State to exclude profits (but to include indirect costs and overheads to the extent attributable to the relevant action) and shall not provide for any double recovery in respect of the use of generic and/or previously-developed research and development or design costs.

(18)     The final estimate for decommissioning and final waste disposal of the NNPP shall be prepared by the PCO in accordance with the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements 12 months prior to the end of estimated operating life of the NNPP (being 60 years unless extended) at the latest and shall be submitted to the Supervising Authority for review. The PCO shall, by no later than the last day of the operating life of the NNPP, be obliged to make a sufficient contribution to ensure that the Fund meets the final estimate in full discounted on a basis to be agreed taking into account the planned scheduling of the decommissioning works and the fund growth expected over the period of the decommissioning.

(19)     The PCO shall be entitled in its absolute discretion, within one month after the estimate of the final costs of decommissioning has been produced in accordance with paragraph 18, to elect whether to perform (or procure the performance by third party contractor(s)) or not to perform the works in connection with the decommissioning of the NNPP.

(20)     If the PCO elects to perform, or procure the performance, of the works in connection with the decommissioning and waste management and disposal of the NNPP the PCO shall be entitled to have access to all amounts standing to the credit of the Fund subject to prudent verification by Supervising Authority of the use of the Fund strictly for its intended purpose, but shall bear the risk of any funding shortfall provided that any overfunding shall be returned to the PCO.

(21)     If the PCO does not make an election within the time required by paragraph 19, above, it shall be deemed to have elected not to perform the works connected with the decommissioning of the NNPP.

(22)     If, in accordance with this Schedule 6, the PCO elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to perform the works connected with the decommissioning and waste management and disposal of the NNPP, RoL shall be solely responsible for implementing the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements until all decommissioning works have been completed and paragraph 32 of this Schedule 6 shall apply to the costs of decommissioning (and, subject to the compliance of the PCO with paragraph 18, the PCO shall have no liability howsoever arising in respect of the costs of the decommissioning of the NNPP or waste management arrangements).

Supervising Authority

(23)     The Supervising Authority shall be an independent body established by RoL and shall have the roles and responsibilities as described in Commission Requirements. When exercising the powers and carrying out the tasks and duties the Supervising Authority shall not seek or take instructions from the Government, its institutions or other body. The Government, its institutions and other bodies shall undertake to respect this principle and not to seek to influence the Supervising Authority in the performance of the tasks of the Supervising Authority and to provide sufficient funding for the Supervising Authority to carry out its role.

(24)     The Supervising Authority shall be responsible for:

• review the scope of Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements, any cost estimates and projections contained therein;

• review the adequacy of the fixed processes and timescales for determination of adjustments to decommissioning and waste management arrangements, cost estimates and correction of underfunding or overfunding (if necessary); and

• other functions as set out in the Commission Requirements.

The Fund

(25)     A Fund shall be maintained and operated by the Board of the Fund and funded by the PCO in accordance with this Schedule 6. It will be independent of the RoL, the PCO, its Shareholders and the Custodian Bank referred to in paragraph 26 below and insolvency remote from the PCO, its Shareholders, the RoL and the Custodian Bank.

(26)     The Fund shall be held as a segregated account at an international commercial bank (Custodian Bank). The PCO is eligible to propose candidacies of the Custodian Bank for the approval by the Board of the Fund.

(27)     The Fund shall monitor compliance with the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements and the funds for the future decommissioning of the NNPP and invest them in accordance with the investment strategy proposed by the PCO and approved by the Board of the Fund.

(28)     Funding for the costs of waste management and disposal as established pursuant to the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements shall be contributed by the PCO on the earlier of (a) the date that nuclear fuel is loaded into the NNPP or (b) otherwise as radioactive waste is generated. The PCO shall be obliged to make sufficient contribution to cover the estimated cost discounted on a basis to be agreed taking into account the planned scheduling of the waste management and disposal activities and the fund growth expected over the period of the waste management and disposal activities.

(29)     The PCO shall be obliged to make an annual contribution to the Fund in respect of decommissioning to cover the annual proportion of the total outstanding discounted decommissioning costs estimated by the PCO under the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements prepared in accordance with this Schedule 6 and discounted on a basis to be agreed taking into account the planned scheduling of the decommissioning works and the fund growth expected over the period of the decommissioning. The PCO is liable to make contributions into the Fund until the Fund meets the final estimate.

(30)     From first criticality, in order to meet the obligations to make contributions to the Fund on a discounted basis during operations and to meet the obligations to fund to the final cost estimate, the PCO shall ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place so that the PCO can meet its obligations in relation to the funding of decommissioning and waste management and disposal costs. From first criticality there shall also be a requirement for the PCO to provide sufficient funding (pursuant to paragraph 7) to put the plant into safe store in case of early shut down on the basis set out in this paragraph 30, and the funding of waste costs for first fuel load on the basis set out in paragraph 28. The amounts for safe store shall be calculated by the PCO and shall cover the costs of the shutdown of the nuclear reactor, removal of the nuclear fuel from the nuclear reactor and placing it into a spent nuclear fuel pools, storage of radioactive waste, including spent nuclear fuel, until the sufficient amount of the resources for full decommissioning shall be accumulated. Funding for the undiscounted safe store costs shall be made in cash contribution on an overnight cost basis.

(31)     In the event of early shutdown of the plant the final estimate of decommissioning and waste management cost in money values of the day shall be prepared by the PCO within 1 year after early shutdown. This final estimate of cost shall be subject to the review of the Supervising Authority in accordance with its role as set out in the Commission Requirements. Any increased costs of early decommissioning and any other shortfalls in the fund as of the date of the early shutdown, discounted on a basis to be agreed taking into account the planned scheduling of the decommissioning and waste management and disposal activities and the fund growth expected over the period of the decommissioning and waste management and disposal activities, must be funded by the PCO unless the early shutdown was politically procured by the Lithuanian State against the will of the PCO.

(32)     Decommissioning costs shall be funded from amounts standing to the credit of the Fund and, except where paragraph 20 of this Schedule 6 applies, the RoL shall bear the sole responsibility, without recourse to the PCO or any other person, for any decommissioning costs which are in excess of the amounts standing to the credit of the Fund provided that any overfunding shall be returned to the RoL.

Management of Fund

(33)     The Fund shall have a Board of the Fund (Board) the members of which shall be nominated by the RoL. The RoL shall not have a right to reject candidate proposed for nomination by the PCO. The Chairman of the Board shall be nominated by the Lithuanian Government. The members of the Board shall be adequately qualified and free from any conflicts of interest.

(34)     The Board shall deal with funds standing to the credit of the Fund in accordance with arrangements set out in this Schedule 6 and the Decommissioning and Waste Management Arrangements and shall otherwise act transparently, independently and fairly and in the best interests of the Fund.

(35)     The Board shall commission and publish to the RoL, the PCO and each Shareholder of the PCO an annual report in accordance with international accounting standards which shall include a balance sheet of the Fund and description on the annual returns of the Fund holdings.

(36)     The Board shall include representatives from Lithuanian Ministry of Energy, Lithuanian Nuclear Regulatory Institution, Lithuanian Financial Regulatory Institution and the PCO. RoL shall have a voting majority in the Board.

(37)     The Fund shall have an auditor, the candidacy of which shall be proposed by the PCO (being an internationally recognised accountancy firm).

(38)     The costs of discharging the Fund's administrative/management duties and functions shall, subject to an efficiency and performance protection for the PCO, be met from the assets of the Fund.

(39)     In order to avoid conflicting use of financial recourses of the Fund, to reach the highest level of the Fund independence from the RoL, the PCO, its Shareholders and the Custodian Bank referred to in paragraph 26 above and to minimise correlation between the Fund performance and the financial status of the RoL, the PCO, its Shareholders and the Custodian Bank referred to in paragraph 26 above, the investments in related parties (mother and/or other group companies) shall not be allowed. This rule shall apply to all classes of securities including direct lending, acquisitions of bonds or stocks and other financial instruments.

(40)     The Fund assets shall be invested in the credible financial assets and the investment strategy shall be conservative to ensure prudent risk exposure and diversification of investment.

Dispute Resolution

(41)     The final determination in respect of appeals against decisions of the Supervising Authority and/or the Board shall be made where possible by an arbitral tribunal to be agreed or otherwise, as required under Lithuanian law.

(42)     All references to waste management and disposal relate to activities and costs relating to waste management and disposal which are not part of operational waste management.

(A)      provided that such withdrawal, denouncement, repeal, material amendment or invalidity by the RoL is of its own accord and not:

(1)       as a result of the termination or lapse of or amendment to the relevant international instrument listed; or

(2)       as a result of a decision or communication of the European Commission or a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union requiring or recommending that the RoL (specifically) or (more generally) the European Union Member States withdraw from the relevant international instrument or otherwise ruling that its existence is not in accordance with European Union principles;

(B)       and except where another international instrument or applicable Law applies or is brought into effect in the Republic of Lithuania (prior to, at the same time as, or not later than a reasonable period following, such withdrawal or denouncement and in any event not later than the earlier of (i) three (3) Months following service of a notice on the RoL by the PCO that the Shareholders are prepared to take FID and (ii) 30 June 2015) and:

(1)       where such international instrument or applicable Law can reasonably be considered to fulfil a substantially similar purpose as the relevant international instrument which the RoL has denounced or from which it has withdrawn or which otherwise is considered by the parties to the replacement international instrument to replace or supersede the replaced international instrument; or

(2)       if such international instrument or applicable Law fulfils more than one purpose, contains provisions which can reasonably be considered together to fulfil a substantially similar purpose as the relevant international instrument which the RoL has denounced or from which it has withdrawn,

(and such replacing international instrument or applicable Law, in the case of both 1.2.8(B)(1) and 1.2.8(B)(2), shall be a "Specified Nuclear Treaty Replacement" and "Specified Nuclear Treaty Replacements" shall be construed accordingly).

2.7       Withdrawal from or denouncement of the Energy Charter Treaty

Withdrawal by the RoL from or denouncement by the RoL of the Energy Charter Treaty:

2.7.1      provided that such withdrawal or denouncement by the RoL is of its own accord and not:

(A)      where such international instrument or applicable Law can reasonably be considered to fulfil a similar purpose as the Energy Charter Treaty; or

(B)       if such international instrument or applicable Law fulfils more than one purpose, where it contains provisions which can reasonably be considered together to fulfil a similar purpose as the Energy Charter Treaty or which otherwise is considered by the parties to the replacement international instrument to replace or supersede the Energy Charter Treaty,

(and such international instrument or applicable Law, in the case of either (i) or (ii), shall be a "Energy Charter Treaty Replacement").

2.8       Withdrawal or denouncement from the New York Convention

Withdrawal by the RoL from, denouncement by the RoL of, or the material amendment (adversely affecting the implementation) of, repeal or invalidity of, any Law in the Republic of Lithuania implementing or giving effect to, the New York Convention:

2.8.1      provided that such withdrawal, denouncement, repeal, material amendment and/or invalidity by the RoL is of its own accord and not:

(A)      as a result of the termination or lapse of the New York Convention; or

SUDARĖ

(1)       LIETUVOS RESPUBLIKA, atstovaujama Lietuvos Respublikos energetikos ministerijos (toliau – LR);

(1)       [„HITACHI, LTD.“ SPĮ], [•] įsteigta ir registruota bendrovė [[įmonės kodas], kurios adresas yra [•¶ (toliau – Strateginis investuotojas); ir

(2)       [PB], Lietuvos Respublikoje įsteigta ir registruota bendrovė [[įmonės kodas], kurios adresas yra [•¶ (toliau – PB),

toliau atskirai vadinamos „Šalimi“ arba kartu – „Šalimis“.

PREAMBULĖ

(A)      2007 m. sausio 18 d. Lietuvos nacionalinėje energetikos strategijoje LR dar kartą patvirtino ilgalaikį Lietuvos Respublikos įsipareigojimą plėtoti branduolinės energijos gamybą. Vienas iš strateginių Lietuvos Respublikos tikslų yra naujos atominės elektrinės statyba ir komercinės eksploatacijos pradžia.

(A)      Vadovaudamasi Lietuvos Respublikos koncesijų įstatymu, EM LR vardu surengė atvirą konkursą, siekdama atrinkti strateginį investuotoją į naujosios atominės elektrinės projektą įgyvendinančią bendrovę, kuri vystys, statys, eksploatuos naująją atominę elektrinę ir nutrauks jos eksploatavimą. 2009 m. gruodžio 10 d. ES Oficialiajame leidinyje buvo paskelbtas pranešimas apie konkursą (Nr. 2009/S 236-338047). Konkursas baigėsi 2011 m. sausio 3 d., kai ūkio subjektas, įvardytas kaip potencialus konkurso laimėtojas, pasitraukė iš konkurso, o daugiau tinkamų pasiūlymų pateikta nebuvo. EM, veikdama LR vardu (kaip Koncesiją suteikiančioji institucija) ir vadovaudamasi Koncesijų įstatymu, priėmė sprendimą (įsigaliojusį 2011 m. sausio 14 d.) pradėti tiesiogines derybas su potencialiais strateginiais investuotojais.

(B)       Vykdant tiesiogines derybas buvo surengta atvira konkurencinė procedūra taikant tuos pačius kvalifikacinius ir vertinimo reikalavimus kaip ir ankstesniame konkurse. Įvertinus pasiūlymus, pateiktus vykdant tiesiogines derybas, Strateginio investuotojo vardu „Hitachi, Ltd.“ pateiktas pasiūlymas buvo pripažintas ekonomiškai naudingiausiu, todėl „Hitachi, Ltd.“ ir Lietuvos Respublika, atstovaujama EM, sudarė išimtinį susitarimą, pagal kurį „Hitachi, Ltd.“ buvo suteikta išimtinė teisė derėtis dėl sąlygų, kuriomis Strateginis investuotojas dalyvautų ir investuotų į koncesininkę, kuri yra projektą įgyvendinanti bendrovė (PB). LR ir Strateginis investuotojas dėl šios Koncesijos sutarties derėjosi pagal minėto išimtinio susitarimo sąlygas. Buvo susitarta, kad, vadovaujantis šios Koncesijos sutarties sąlygomis, Strateginiam investuotojui arba vienai ar kelioms su juo Susijusioms bendrovėms, kurias paskirs Strateginis investuotojas, bus suteikta teisė: 1) su PB sudaryti EPC rangos sutartį dėl 1350 MW (bendrasis) klasės pažangiojo verdančio vandens reaktoriaus vystymo ir statybos laikantis ir nepažeidžiant EPC rangos sutarties sąlygų („Visagino nauja atominė elektrinė“ arba „NAE“); ir, 2) jeigu pagal šios Koncesijos sutarties sąlygas to paprašys PB (ir tai bus įmanoma pagal O&M pagalbinių paslaugų sąlygas), pagal O&M pagalbinių paslaugų sutartį teikti NAE eksploatacijos ir priežiūros paslaugas ir (arba), jeigu pagal šios Koncesijos sutarties sąlygas to paprašys PB (ir tai bus įmanoma pagal Branduolinio kurio tiekimo sąlygas), pagal Kuro tiekimo sutartį tiekti NAE branduolinį kurą ir teikti susijusias paslaugas.

(C)       LR, Strateginis investuotojas ir PB dėl šios Koncesijos sutarties susitarė vykdydamos tiesiogines derybas, o LR suteikia Koncesiją PB vadovaudamasi šios Koncesijos sutarties sąlygomis tikėdamasi, kad toks suteikimas padės Lietuvos Respublikai integruoti jos elektros energijos perdavimo sistemas į kontinentinės Europos perdavimo tinklą bei padidins Lietuvos Respublikos pagrindinių energijos išteklių įvairovę, pagerins Lietuvos Respublikos energijos tiekimo saugumą, prisidės ir didins pagrindinių energijos išteklių įvairovę visame Baltijos regione (kaip nurodoma bendrame Lietuvos, Latvijos, Estijos ir Lenkijos ministrų pranešime, pasirašytame 2010 m. gegužės 31 d., dalyvaujant Europos Komisijai).

(D)      Vadovaudamasi Koncesijų įstatymu ir šios Koncesijos sutarties sąlygomis, LR suteikia teisę PB, o PB įsipareigoja, kiekvienu atveju laikantis šioje Koncesijos sutartyje nustatytų sąlygų, projektuoti, finansuoti, vystyti, statyti, testuoti, pradėti eksploataciją, eksploatuoti, prižiūrėti Visagino naują atominę elektrinę ir nutraukti jos eksploataciją Statybvietėje (įskaitant darbus ir paslaugas pagal Papildomas sutartis ar kitas sutartis) („Koncesija“).

(E)       Pagal Koncesijų įstatymą PB visais atžvilgiais laikytina koncesininke.
