4.05. Transfer of Claims.

(a) For so long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 8 as to any Fidelity Fund in respect of any of the Fidelity Claims or NEE, that Fidelity Fund or NEE, as applicable, shall not sell, use, pledge, assign, transfer, permit the participation in, or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any ownership (including any beneficial ownership) in any of its Claims, unless the intended transferee executes and delivers to NEE and the EFH/EFIH Debtors an executed transfer agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Transfer Agreement”) before such Transfer is effective (it being understood that any Transfer shall not be effective until notification of such Transfer and a copy of the executed Transfer Agreement is provided to counsel to NEE and the EFH/EFIH Debtors, on the terms set forth herein); and after giving effect to such Transfer, and assuming the Alternative E-Side Plan and the transactions contemplated therein will be consummated immediately upon such Transfer, none of (1) the intended transferee, (2) the intended transferee’s affiliates, (3) any unaffiliated third-party in which the intended transferee has a direct or indirect beneficial ownership, and/or (4) any group of persons acting pursuant to a plan or arrangement as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-6(c)(4) (provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-6(c)(4)(ii), none of the Fidelity Funds will be treated as acting pursuant to a plan or arrangement as a result of its being a Party or participating in the Alternative E-Side Plan and the transactions contemplated therein), will have beneficial ownership of, in the aggregate, fifty percent (50%) or more of the Reorganized EFH Common Stock.

A transferee that satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 4.05(a) shall be a “Permitted Transferee,” and such Transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”.

(b) Other than pursuant to Section 4.05(a) and Section 5.01(b), this Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Fidelity Funds or NEE from acquiring additional Claims; provided, however, that if NEE or any Fidelity Fund acquires additional Claims (excluding, EFIH First Lien DIP Claims with respect to the Fidelity Funds) after the date hereof, (i) such Fidelity Fund or NEE, as applicable, shall promptly notify the EFH/EFIH Debtors and NEE, as applicable, of such acquisition, including the amount of such acquisition, and (ii) such additional Claims shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by such Fidelity Fund or NEE, as

applicable, be deemed to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to NEE and/or the EFH/EFIH Debtors).

(d) This Section 4.05 shall not impose any obligation on any EFH/EFIH Debtor to issue any “cleansing letter” or otherwise publicly disclose information for the purpose of enabling any Fidelity Fund or NEE to Transfer any of its Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any of the EFH/EFIH Debtors and another Party have entered into separate confidentiality agreements (each such confidentiality agreement, a “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of such Confidentiality Agreements shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to their respective terms.

8.05. [Reserved]

8.06. Termination Upon Completion of the Restructuring Transactions. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the occurrence of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), without any further required action or notice.

8.07. Limitation on Termination. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a Party’s ability to terminate this Agreement shall only be available for so long as the event, condition or circumstance giving rise to such termination right is continuing at the time of such termination.

8.08. Effect of Termination. No Party may terminate this Agreement if such Party failed to perform or comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such failure to perform or comply caused, or resulted in, the occurrence of one or more termination events specified herein. The date on which termination of this Agreement as to a Party is effective in accordance with Section 8 shall be referred to as an “Agreement Termination Date.” Upon the occurrence of an Agreement Termination Date as to a Party (but only as to such Party), except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (a) this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such Party, (b) each Party entitled to such termination shall be released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under this Agreement and shall have the rights that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, and (c) the remaining Parties to this Agreement, if any, shall be released from any commitments, undertaking, and agreements owed to such terminated Party under this Agreement; provided, however, that Section 4.03(a)(vi), this Section 8.08, Section 10.04, Section 10.06, Section 10.08, Section 10.10, Section 10.11, Section 10.12 and Section 10.14 shall survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit any of the Parties from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of any Party, or the ability of any Party to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including its claims against any EFH/EFIH Debtor or any other Party. Nothing in this Section 8.08 shall restrict any EFH/EFIH Debtor’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.02(l).

In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, the termination rights and effect of termination provided for under this Section 8 apply only to this Agreement (without reference to the exhibits). The applicable termination rights and effect of termination of other agreements between or among any of the Parties, including those attached to this Agreement as exhibits, are governed according to the respective terms and conditions of such agreements.

Section 9. Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented in any manner except in writing signed by (i) NEE, (ii) each of the EFH/EFIH Debtors; and (iii) the Fidelity Funds; provided, however, that Section 9 and Section 10.13 of this Agreement shall not be modified, amended or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Party. Any proposed modification, amendment, or supplement that is not approved by the requisite Parties as set forth above shall be ineffective and void ab initio. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations and requirements for amendment, modification, or supplementation provided for in this Section 9 apply only to this Agreement (without references to the exhibits). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the applicable limitations and requirements to modify, amend, supplement, or waive any provision of other agreements between or among any of the Parties, including those attached to this Agreement as exhibits, are governed according to the respective terms and conditions of such agreements.

10.05. Confidentiality; Disclosure. Each Party shall keep strictly confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Fidelity Funds, disclose the holdings of the Fidelity Fund; provided, however, that NEE and the EFH/EFIH Debtors may disclose (i) such information to the extent that, after consultation with counsel and upon notice to the Fidelity Funds, it determines in good faith that it is required to do so by any law, rule, regulation (including federal securities laws and regulations), or by any governmental, judicial, or regulatory authority, including the Bankruptcy Court, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount or aggregate percentage of each Class of Claims held collectively by the Fidelity Funds.

10.08. Interpretation and Rules of Construction. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Parties, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the essential terms and conditions of this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.

10.16. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.
