-19-

Section 3.04. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Lender shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lender of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Loans, during any Interest Period, the Lender shall forthwith give Notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lender) to the Borrower and the Lender. In such event (a) any Interest Rate Notice with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and any Interest Rate Notice shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, (b) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period thereof, become a Base Rate Loan, and (c) the obligation of the Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Lender shall so notify the Borrower.

Section 3.05. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Lender shall promptly give Notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Lender and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lender to make any Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan or Convert any portion of the Loans of another Type to a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically be suspended, and (b) the Lender’s portion of the Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be Converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to each such Eurodollar Rate Loan or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.05 to the contrary, in the event that the Lender is unable to make or maintain any Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan as set forth in this Section 3.05, the Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternative Eurodollar Lending Office so as to avoid such inability.

Section 3.06. Additional Costs. If any Change in Law:

(a) imposes, increases or renders applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or Commitments of an office of the Lender, or

(b) imposes on the Lender any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any Loan or the Commitment of the Lender hereunder,

(i) increasing the cost or reducing the return to the Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan or maintaining its Commitment, or

-20-

(ii) reducing the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to the Lender hereunder on account of any Loan being a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or

(iii) requiring the Lender to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by the Lender from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by the Lender at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to the Lender such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate the Lender for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.06 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any event set forth in this Section 3.06 with respect to the Lender, the Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternative Applicable Lending Office so as to avoid the effect of such event set forth in this Section 3.06.

Section 3.07. Capital Adequacy. If any Change in Law affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender due to the existence of its Commitment or the Loans, and the Lender determines that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost or reduce the return to the Lender of making or maintaining its Commitment or such Loans, then the Lender may notify the Borrower of such fact. To the extent that the costs of such increased capital or liquidity requirements are not reflected in the Base Rate and/or the Eurodollar Rate, the Borrower and the Lender shall thereafter attempt to negotiate in good faith, within thirty (30) days of the day on which the Borrower receives such Notice, an adjustment payable hereunder that will adequately compensate the Lender in light of these circumstances, and in connection therewith, the Lender will provide to the Borrower reasonably detailed information regarding the increase of the Lender’s costs. If the Borrower and the Lender are unable to agree to such adjustment within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Borrower receives such Notice, then commencing on the date of such Notice (but not earlier than the effective date of any such increased capital or liquidity requirement), the interest payable hereunder shall increase by an amount that will, in the Lender’s reasonable determination, provide adequate compensation. The Lender agrees that amounts claimed pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made in good faith and on an equitable basis.

Section 3.08. Recovery of Additional Compensation.

(a) Certificate. If the Lender claims any additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.06, Section 3.07 or Section 3.09, as the case may be, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth such additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.06, Section 3.07 or Section 3.09, as the case may be, and a reasonable explanation of such amounts which are due (provided that, without limiting the requirement that reasonable detail be furnished, nothing herein shall require the Lender to disclose confidential information relating to the organization of its affairs). Such certificate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that such amounts are due and owing.

(b) Delay in Requests. Delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 3.06, Section 3.07 or Section 3.09, as applicable, shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions in returns suffered more than ninety (90) days prior to the date the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions in return, and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the ninety (90) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.09. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender and to hold the Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by the Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) that the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan as and when due and payable, (b) default by the Borrower in making a prepayment after the Borrower has given a Notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.03, (c) default by the Borrower in making a Borrowing after the Borrower has given a Borrowing Notice pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or continuing all or any portion of the Loans, after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) pursuant to Section 2.06(a) an Interest Rate Notice or (d) the making of any payment of principal of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or the making of any Conversion of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period, including interest or fees payable by the Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Section 3.10. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.10) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this

-22-

Section) payable or paid by the Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Within thirty (30) days after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.10, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(e) Status of Lender.

(i) If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.10(e)(ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,


(1)	if the Lender is a U.S. Person, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a Party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

-24-

(3)

if the Lender is a Foreign Lender, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a Party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4)

if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.10(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the

-25-

relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.10(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.10(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after‑Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 3.10(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(iv) the replacement, extension or renewal of any Lien permitted by clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 5.14, inclusive, upon or in the same property theretofore subject thereto or the replacement, extension or renewal (without increase in the amount or change in the direct or indirect obligor) of the indebtedness secured thereby;

Section 5.15. Maintenance of Insurance. The Borrower shall maintain, and cause each of its Significant Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations in such amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary operates; provided, however, that the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries may self‑insure (which may include the establishment of reserves, allocation of resources, establishment of credit facilities and other similar arrangements) to the same extent as other companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary operates and to the extent consistent with prudent business practice.

The covenants of this Section 9.03 shall survive payment or satisfaction of payments of amounts owing with respect to the Note as may be issued hereunder.

Section 9.04. Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and its Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits by a third party (collectively, “Actions”), whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses payable by any Indemnitee to any third party (collectively, “Liabilities”) of every nature and character incurred by or awarded against any such Indemnitee (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), in each case arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans, or (b) the Borrower entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the Parent entering into or performing the Parent Guarantee; provided that the liabilities, losses, damages and expenses indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.04 shall not include any liabilities, losses, damages and expenses in respect of any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, indemnification for which is provided on the basis, and to the extent, specified in Section 3.09; and provided further, that such indemnity shall not be available as to any Indemnitee, to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages and expenses arise out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. In the event that any Indemnitee shall become subject to any Action or Liability with respect to any matter for which indemnification may apply pursuant to this Section 9.04 (an “Indemnity Claim”), such Indemnitee shall give Notice of such Indemnity Claim to the Borrower by telephone at (561) 694 6204 and also in accordance with the written Notice requirements in Section 9.02. Such Indemnitee may retain counsel and conduct the defense of such Indemnity Claim, as it may in its sole discretion deem proper, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower. So long as no Default shall have occurred and be

-42-

continuing hereunder, no Indemnitee shall compromise or settle any claim without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower shall only be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole unless any actual or potential conflict of interest between such Indemnitees makes it inappropriate for one counsel to represent all such Indemnitees, in which event the Borrower shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one additional counsel for each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole). If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.04 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the affected Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Parties agree not to assert any claim against any other Party or any of its affiliates, or any of its directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any Indemnitee from seeking to recover the preceding types of damages from the Borrower to the extent the same are specifically payable by such Indemnitee to any third party).

Section 9.05. Survival of Covenants. All covenants, agreements representations and warranties made herein, in the Note, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lender, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by it, and shall survive the making by the Lender of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to the Lender at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Section 3.05, Section 3.06, Section 3.07 and Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.06. Assignment.

(a) Except as expressly permitted by Section 5.11, the Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Note without the prior consent of the Lender.

(b) The Lender may not assign any of its Loans and its Note without the prior written consent of the Borrower; provided that no such consent by the Borrower shall be required in the case of any assignment of all, but not less than all, by the Lender (i) to any affiliate of the Lender; or (ii) in the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing.

-43-

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.06 to the contrary, the Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of any Loan and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank.

SCHEDULE II

TO BI-LATERAL TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

Parent Events of Default

The following events shall constitute “Parent Events of Default”:

Records and Accounts. Parent fails, or fails to cause each of its Significant Subsidiaries to, (a) keep true and accurate records and books of account in which full, true and correct entries will be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and (b) to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by Parent, maintain adequate accounts and reserves for all taxes (including income taxes), depreciation, depletion, obsolescence and amortization of its properties and the properties of its Subsidiaries, contingencies, and other reserves; and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender.


2.	Corporate Existence; Maintenance of Properties.


(i)	Parent fails to cause all things to be done that are necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the first sentence of Paragraph (6) below); or

(ii)

Parent fails to cause all things to be done that are commercially reasonable to preserve and keep in full force and effect its franchises; or Parent fails, or fails to cause each of its Significant Subsidiaries, to (a) cause all of its properties used and useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment, or (b) cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of Parent or such Significant Subsidiary may be necessary, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender;

provided that nothing in this Paragraph (2) shall prevent Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is, in the sole judgment of Parent or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, desirable in the conduct of its or their business and does not in the aggregate materially adversely affect the business, properties or financial condition of Parent, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided further that nothing in this Paragraph (2) shall affect or impair in any manner the ability of either of Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries to sell or dispose of all or any portion of its property and assets (including, without limitation, its shares in any Subsidiary or all or any portion of the property or assets of any Subsidiary); and provided finally that, in the event of any loss or damage to their respective property or assets, Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries shall only be obligated to repair, replace or restore any such property or assets, or be obligated to cause its relevant Significant Subsidiaries to repair,

replace or restore any such property or assets, if Parent, the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, has determined that such repair, replacement or restoration is necessary or appropriate and any such repair, replacement and/or restoration may be effected by Parent, the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary in such time period and in the manner it deems appropriate.

Taxes. Parent fails to duly pay and discharge, or fails to cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall become overdue, all material taxes, assessments and other governmental charges (other than taxes, assessments and other governmental charges that in the aggregate are not material to the business or assets of Parent) imposed upon it and its real properties, sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom, as well as all claims for labor, materials, or supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its property; and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender; provided that any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and, to the extent that Parent deems necessary, Parent shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; and provided further that Parent will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor.

Visits by Lender. Parent fails to permit the Lender or any of the Lender’s designated representatives to visit the properties of Parent or to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Parent with, or to be advised as to the same by, its officers, upon reasonable notice and all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Lender may reasonably request; and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender.

Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses and Permits. Parent fails to comply with (a) the laws and regulations applicable to Parent (including, without limitation, ERISA) wherever its business is conducted, (b) the provisions of its charter documents and by‑laws, (c) any agreements and instruments by which it or any of its properties may be bound, or (d) any decrees, orders, and judgments applicable to Parent, except when such failure to comply with any of the foregoing would not materially adversely affect the business, property or financial condition of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender. If at any time while any portion of the Loans or any amount under this Agreement is outstanding, any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any officer, agency or instrumentality of any Governmental Authority shall become necessary or required in order that Parent may fulfill any of its obligations under the Parent Guarantee, Parent fails promptly to take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps within the power of Parent to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Lender with evidence thereof; and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender.


6.	Prohibition of Fundamental Changes. Parent consummates any transaction of merger or consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidation or dissolution; provided that Parent may

merge, consolidate or amalgamate with any other Person if (a) either (i) Parent is the surviving corporation or (ii) such Person (x) assumes, by an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, all of the obligations of Parent under the Parent Guarantee, provided that such assuming party delivers such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lender if and as necessary to satisfy applicable “know your customer” requirements, and (y) has a non‑credit enhanced long‑term senior unsecured debt rating of at least BBB‑ by Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 by Moody’s, and (b) after giving effect thereto no Default would exist under this Agreement. Parent conveys, sells, leases, transfers or otherwise disposes of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its business or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to any other Person unless (a) such Person assumes, by an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, all of the obligations of Parent under the Parent Guarantee provided that such assuming party delivers such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lender if and as necessary to satisfy applicable “know your customer” requirements, and (b) after giving effect thereto no Default would exist under this Agreement.

Indebtedness. Parent fails to insure that all obligations of Parent under the Parent Guarantee rank and will rank at least pari passu in respect of priority of payment by Parent and priority of lien, charge or other security in respect of assets of Parent with all other unsecured and unsubordinated loans, debts, guarantees or other obligations for money borrowed of Parent without any preference one above the other by reason of priority of date incurred, currency of payment or otherwise, except as permitted pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph (8) below; and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender.


8.	Liens. Parent creates any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties, or assigns any right to receive income, in each case to secure or provide for the payment of any debt of any Person, other than:


(i)	purchase money liens or purchase money security interests upon or in any property acquired by Parent in the ordinary course of business to secure the purchase price or construction cost of such property or to secure indebtedness incurred solely for the purpose of financing the acquisition of such property or construction of improvements on such property;


(ii)	Liens existing on property acquired by Parent at the time of its acquisition, provided that such Liens were not created in contemplation of such acquisition and do not extend to any assets other than the property so acquired;


(iii)	Liens securing Nonrecourse Indebtedness created for the purpose of financing the acquisition, improvement or construction of the property subject to such Liens;


(iv)	the replacement, extension or renewal of any Lien permitted by clauses (i) through (iii) of this Paragraph (8) upon or in the same property theretofore subject thereto or the replacement, extension or renewal (without increase in the

amount or change in the direct or indirect obligor) of the indebtedness secured thereby;


(v)	Liens upon or with respect to margin stock;

(vi)

(a) deposits or pledges to secure payment of workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, old age pensions or other social security; (b) deposits or pledges to secure performance of bids, tenders, contracts (other than contracts for the payment of money) or leases, public or statutory obligations, surety or appeal bonds or other deposits or pledges for purposes of like general nature in the ordinary course of business; (c) Liens for property taxes not delinquent and Liens for taxes which in good faith are being contested or litigated and, to the extent that Parent deems necessary, Parent shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; (d) mechanics’, carriers’, workmen’s, repairmen’s or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of business securing obligations which are not overdue for a period of sixty (60) days or more or which are in good faith being contested or litigated and, to the extent that Parent deems necessary, Parent shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; and (e) other matters described in Schedule 4.03 of this Agreement; and

(vii)

any other Liens or security interests (other than Liens or security interests described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Paragraph (8), inclusive), if the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness secured by all such Liens and security interests (without duplication) does not exceed in the aggregate US$50,000,000 at any one time outstanding (taking into account all amounts incurred by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.14(vii) of this Agreement);

provided that the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness secured by the Liens described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Paragraph (8), inclusive, shall not exceed the greater of the aggregate fair value, the aggregate purchase price or the aggregate construction cost, as the case may be, of all properties subject to such Liens.

Parent Guarantee. The Parent Guarantee is terminated or ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to the payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (or Parent so asserts in writing) or otherwise is modified, amended or waived in a manner which materially adversely affects the applicability of the Parent Guarantee to the indebtedness of the Borrower incurred pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without express written consent of the Lender; provided that no modification or termination of any or all of the provisions of the Parent Guarantee (including with respect to the payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement) shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder if such modification or termination is permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Parent Guarantee without such consent in accordance with the terms thereof.


10.	Maintenance of Insurance. Parent fails to maintain, or to cause each of its Significant Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies

or associations in such amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which Parent or such Significant Subsidiary operates; and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender; provided, however, that Parent and its Significant Subsidiaries may self‑insure (which may include the establishment of reserves, allocation of resources, establishment of credit facilities and other similar arrangements) to the same extent as other companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which Parent or such Significant Subsidiary operates and to the extent consistent with prudent business practice.


11.	Employee Benefit Plans. Parent:


(a)	engages in any non‑exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of §406 of ERISA or §4975 of the Code which could result in a material liability for either of Parent or the Borrower; or


(b)	permits any Guaranteed Pension Plan sponsored by either of Parent or the Borrower or their ERISA Affiliates to fail to meet the minimum funding standards described in §302 and §303 of ERISA; or

(c)

fails to contribute to any Guaranteed Pension Plan sponsored by either of Parent or the Borrower or their ERISA Affiliates to an extent which, or terminates any Guaranteed Pension Plan sponsored by either of Parent or the Borrower or their ERISA Affiliates in a manner which, could result in the imposition of a lien or encumbrance on the assets of either of Parent or the Borrower or any of their ERISA Affiliates pursuant to §303(k) or §4068 of ERISA; or

(d)

permits or takes any action which would result in the aggregate benefit liabilities (within the meaning of §4001 of ERISA) of Guaranteed Pension Plans sponsored by either of Parent or the Borrower or their ERISA Affiliates exceeding the value of the aggregate assets of such plans by more than the amount set forth in Section 5.11(c) of the Agreement. For purposes of this covenant, poor investment performance by any trustee or investment management of a Guaranteed Pension Plan shall not be considered as a breach of this covenant;

and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender.


12.	Financial Covenant. Parent fails to maintain a ratio of (i) Funded Debt as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter to (ii) Total Capitalization as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of not greater than 0.65:1.00. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, when calculating “Funded Debt” and “Total Capitalization” for the purposes of this Paragraph (12):


(A)	Funded Debt of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, recourse for which is limited to specific assets of Parent and/or any of its Subsidiaries (“Nonrecourse Indebtedness”), shall not be taken into effect; and


(B)	“Funded Debt” shall not include any Equity-Preferred Securities of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the aggregate amount of Equity-Preferred Securities excluded from Funded Debt for the purposes hereof shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of Total Capitalization as of the date of any determination thereof.

13.

Continued Operation of FPL. Parent fails to cause FPL to conduct and operate its business substantially in the same manner as conducted and operated by FPL during the present and preceding fiscal year of FPL, and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Lender, except where, in the opinion of FPL or Parent, any change or discontinuance of any portion of the operation of the business of FPL (i) would not materially adversely affect the business or financial condition of FPL, or (ii) is deemed to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to comply with, respond to, or in connection with or in anticipation of the issuance of, any applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline, policy, recommendation, order, judgment or decree, whether or not having the force of law, of any Governmental Authority.


14.	Compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Terrorism Regulations. The Parent shall:


(a)	Violate any applicable anti-corruption laws, or any Sanctions or Anti-Terrorism Laws or engage in any transaction, investment, undertaking or activity that conceals the identity, source or destination of the proceeds from any category of prohibited offenses designated by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering.

(b) Deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction related to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to any Sanctions or any Anti-Terrorism Law, or (ii) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempt to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Sanctions or Anti-Terrorism Law.

[Form of Opinion of Borrower’s Counsel]

February 7, 2017

[l]

Attention: [l]


Re:	NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc. US$3,750,000,000.00 Bi-Lateral Term Loan Facility

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 6.01(g) of that certain Bi-Lateral Term Loan Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2017 (the “Bi-Lateral Term Loan Agreement”), among NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”), and [l] as Lender (the “Lender”). This opinion is furnished to you at the request of the Borrower. Capitalized terms defined in the Bi-Lateral Term Loan Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth therein.

We have acted as special counsel to the Borrower and NextEra Energy, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Parent”), in connection with the documents described in Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Operative Documents”).

We have made such examinations of the federal law of the United States and the laws of the State of Florida and the State of New York as we have deemed relevant for purposes of this opinion, and solely for the purposes of the opinions in paragraphs 10 and 11, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and the Federal Power Act (the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and the Federal Power Act and the rules and regulations issued thereunder being referred to herein as the “Applicable Energy Laws”), and have not made any independent review of the law of any other state or other jurisdiction; provided however, we have made no investigation as to, and we express no opinion with respect to, any state or federal securities or blue sky laws, any state or federal tax laws, or any matters relating to the Applicable Energy Laws (except for the purposes of the opinions in paragraphs 10 and 11), the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, or the rules and regulations under any of the foregoing. Additionally, the opinions contained herein shall not be construed as expressing any opinion regarding local statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, or regarding the rules and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities or special political subdivisions (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the state or regional level), or regarding judicial decisions to the extent they deal with any of the foregoing (collectively, “Excluded Laws”). Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the opinions expressed

herein are limited solely to the federal law of the United States and the law of the State of Florida and the State of New York insofar as they bear on the matters covered hereby.

We have reviewed only the Operative Documents and the other documents and instruments described in Schedule II attached hereto and made a part hereof (together with the Operative Documents, the “Documents”) and have made no other investigation or inquiry. We have also relied, without additional investigation, upon the facts set forth in the representations made by the Borrower and Parent in the Documents.

In our examination of the foregoing and in rendering the following opinions, in addition to the assumptions contained elsewhere in this letter, we have, with your consent, assumed without investigation (and we express no opinion regarding the following):

(a) the genuineness of all signatures (other than signatures of the Borrower and Parent on the Operative Documents) and the legal capacity of all individuals who executed Documents individually or on behalf of any of the parties thereto, the accuracy and completeness of each Document submitted for our review, the authenticity of all Documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original Documents of all Documents submitted to us as certified or photocopies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies;

(b) that each of the parties to the Operative Documents (other than the Borrower and Parent) is a duly organized or created, validly existing entity in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or creation;

(c) the due execution and delivery of the Operative Documents by all parties thereto (other than the Borrower and Parent);

(d) that all parties to the Operative Documents (other than the Borrower and Parent) have the power and authority to execute and deliver the Operative Documents, as applicable, and to perform their respective obligations under the Operative Documents, as applicable;

(e) that each of the Operative Documents is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto (other than the Borrower and Parent), enforceable in each case against each such party in accordance with the respective terms of the applicable Operative Documents;

(f) that the conduct of the parties to the Operative Documents has complied with all applicable requirements of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability;

(g) that there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of any of the Operative Documents (except as specifically set forth in the Operative Documents); and

(h) that none of the addressees of this letter know that the opinions set forth herein are incorrect and there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence relating to the matters which are the subject of our opinions.

As used in the opinions expressed herein, the phrase “to our knowledge” refers only to the actual current knowledge of those attorneys in our firm who have given substantive attention to the Borrower and Parent in connection with the transaction contemplated pursuant to the Bi-Lateral Term Loan Agreement (the “Transaction”) and does not (i) include constructive notice of matters or information, or (ii) imply that we have undertaken any independent investigation (a) with any persons outside our firm, or (b) as to the accuracy or completeness of any factual representation or other information made or furnished in connection with the Transaction. Furthermore, such reference means only that we do not know of any fact or circumstance contradicting the statement that follows the reference, and does not imply that we know the statement to be correct or have any basis (other than the Documents) for that statement.

Based solely upon our examination and consideration of the Documents, and in reliance thereon, and in reliance upon the factual representations contained in the Documents, and our consideration of such matters of law and fact as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the expression of the opinions contained herein, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions expressed herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Florida and its status is active. The Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Operative Documents to which it is a party.

2. Parent is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Florida and its status is active. Parent has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Parent Guarantee.

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents entered into by the Borrower have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Borrower and the Operative Documents to which the Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower.

4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Parent Guarantee have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Parent and the Parent Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by Parent.

5. Each of the Operative Documents to which the Borrower is a party (and, in the case of the Parent Guarantee, only to the extent it relates to the payment obligations of the Borrower under the Operative Documents) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

6. The Parent Guarantee (only to the extent it relates to the payment obligations of the Borrower under the Operative Documents) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms.

7. The execution and delivery of the Operative Documents to which the Borrower is a party and the consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated in the Operative Documents to which the Borrower is a party will not conflict with or constitute a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (A) the Articles of Incorporation of the Borrower, as amended, or the Bylaws, as amended, of the Borrower (B) any

existing federal, New York or Florida statute or any rule or regulation thereunder (in each case other than (i) any Excluded Laws, as to which no opinion is expressed and (ii) any Applicable Energy Laws, which are addressed in paragraphs 10 and 11 below) of any federal, New York or Florida governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Borrower, except where the same would not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or financial condition of the Borrower, a material adverse effect on the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents or a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of the Operative Documents, (C) require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of any federal, New York or Florida court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other federal, New York or Florida governmental body having jurisdiction over the Borrower (in each case other than under (i) any Excluded Laws as to which no opinion is expressed and (ii) any Applicable Energy Laws, which are addressed in paragraphs 10 and 11 below), except those which have been obtained on or prior to the date hereof, (D) to our knowledge, conflict with or constitute a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a default under, any material agreement or material instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or its properties are bound, or (E) to our knowledge, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the material properties or assets of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is bound, except as contemplated in any of the Operative Documents.

8. The execution and delivery of the Parent Guarantee and the consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated in the Parent Guarantee will not conflict with or constitute a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, (a) the Restated Articles of Incorporation of Parent, as amended, or the Bylaws, as amended, of Parent, (b) any existing federal, New York or Florida statute, or any rule or regulation thereunder (in each case other than (i) any Excluded Laws, as to which no opinion is expressed and (ii) any Applicable Energy Laws, which are addressed in paragraphs 10 and 11 below) of any federal, New York or Florida governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Parent, except where the same would not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or financial condition of Parent, a material adverse effect on the ability of Parent to perform its obligations under the Parent Guarantee or a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of the Parent Guarantee, (c) require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of any federal, New York or Florida court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other federal, New York or Florida governmental body having jurisdiction over Parent (in each case other than under (i) any Excluded Laws as to which no opinion is expressed and (ii) any Applicable Energy Laws, which are addressed in paragraphs 10 and 11 below), except those which have been obtained on or prior to the date hereof, (d) to our knowledge, conflict with or constitute a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or a default under, any material agreement or material instrument to which Parent is a party or by which Parent or its properties are bound, or (e) to our knowledge, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the material properties or assets of Parent pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument to which Parent is a party or by which it is bound.

9. Neither the Borrower nor Parent is an “investment company”, as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

10. The execution and delivery of the Operative Documents to which the Borrower is a party and the consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated in the Operative Documents to which the Borrower is a party will not (A) constitute a breach or violation by the Borrower of any Applicable Energy Law, or (B) require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of any U.S. federal regulatory body, administrative agency or other U.S. federal governmental body having jurisdiction over the Borrower pursuant to any Applicable Energy Law.

11. The execution and delivery of the Parent Guarantee and the consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated in the Parent Guarantee will not (A) constitute a breach or violation by Parent of any Applicable Energy Law, or (B) require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of any U.S. federal regulatory body, administrative agency or other U.S. federal governmental body having jurisdiction over Parent pursuant to any Applicable Energy Law.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

A. The enforceability of the Operative Documents may be limited or affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, considerations of public policy and by general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion concerning:

(i) any purported waiver of legal rights of the Borrower or Parent under any of the Operative Documents, or any purported consent thereunder, relating to the rights of the Borrower or Parent (including, without limitation, marshaling of assets, reinstatement and rights of redemption, if any), or duties owing to either of them, existing as a matter of law (including, without limitation, any waiver of any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York and the State of Florida) except to the extent the Borrower or Parent, as the case may be, may so waive and has effectively so waived (whether in any of the Operative Documents or otherwise); or

(ii) any provisions in any of the Operative Documents (a) restricting access to legal or equitable redress or otherwise, requiring submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of a particular state where enforcement thereof is deemed to be unreasonable in light of the circumstances or waiving any rights to object to venue or inconvenient forum, (b) providing that any other party’s course of dealing, delay or failure to exercise any right, remedy or option under any of the Operative Documents shall not operate as a waiver, (c) purporting to establish evidentiary standards for suits or proceedings to enforce any of the Operative Documents, (d) allowing any party to declare indebtedness to be due and payable, in any such case without notice, (e) providing for the reimbursement by the non‑prevailing party of the prevailing party’s legal fees and expenses; (f) with

respect to the enforceability of the indemnification provisions in any of the Operative Documents which may be limited by applicable laws or public policy, (g) providing that forum selection clauses are binding on the court or courts in the forum selected, (h) limiting judicial discretion regarding the determination of damages and entitlement to attorneys’ fees and other costs, (i) which deny a party who has materially failed to render or offer performance required by any of the Operative Documents the opportunity to cure that failure unless permitting a cure would unreasonably hinder the non‑defaulting party from making substitute arrangements for performance or unless it was important in the circumstances to the non‑defaulting party that performance occur by the date stated in the agreement, or (j) which purport to waive any right to trial by jury.

B. The foregoing opinions are subject to applicable laws with respect to statutory limitations of the time periods for bringing actions.

C. We express no opinion as to the subject matter jurisdiction of any United States federal court to adjudicate any claim relating to any Operative Documents where jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. §1332 does not exist.

This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinions may be implied or inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. We have assumed no obligation to advise you or any other Person who may be permitted to rely on the opinions expressed herein as hereinafter set forth beyond the opinions specifically expressed herein.

The opinions expressed herein are as of this date, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances which may come to our attention or any changes in law which may occur.

This opinion is provided to the addressee for its benefit and the benefit of any Person that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, and is provided only in connection with the Transaction and may not be relied upon in any respect by any other Person or for any other purpose. Without our prior written consent, this opinion letter may not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to in any document or report and may not be furnished to any Person.
