Whereas, by an instrument, dated as of April 15, 2002, filed with the Banking Department of the State of New York, Bankers Trust Company effected a corporate name change pursuant to which, effective such date, it is known as Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas; and

 

Whereas, FPL has transferred to New Hampshire Transmission, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, all of FPL’s property located in the State of New Hampshire that previously was subject to the lien of the Mortgage, and the Trustee by instrument dated June 29, 2010 (the “Release”) released such property from the lien of the Mortgage, and released and discharged the supplemental indentures and mortgages recorded in the State of New Hampshire listed on Exhibit B to the Release; and

 

Whereas, Section 8 of the Mortgage provides that the form of each series of bonds (other than the first series) issued thereunder shall be established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of FPL and that the form of such series, as established by said Board of Directors, shall specify the descriptive title of the bonds and various other terms thereof, and may also contain such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Mortgage as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, cause to be inserted therein expressing or referring to the terms and conditions upon which such bonds are to be issued and/or secured under the Mortgage; and

 

Whereas, Section 120 of the Mortgage provides, among other things, that any power, privilege or right expressly or impliedly reserved to or in any way conferred upon FPL by any provision of the Mortgage, whether such power, privilege or right is in any way restricted or is unrestricted, may be in whole or in part waived or surrendered or subjected to any restriction if at the time unrestricted or to additional restriction if already restricted, and FPL may enter into any further covenants, limitations or restrictions for the benefit of any one or more series of bonds issued thereunder, or FPL may cure any ambiguity contained therein, or in any supplemental indenture, or may establish the terms and provisions of any series of bonds other than said first series, by an instrument in writing executed and acknowledged by FPL in such manner as would be necessary to entitle a conveyance of real estate to be recorded in all of the states in which any property at the time subject to the Lien of the Mortgage shall be situated; and

 

  

Whereas, FPL now desires to create the series of bonds described in Article I hereof and to add to its covenants and agreements contained in the Mortgage certain other covenants and agreements to be observed by it and to alter and amend in certain respects the covenants and provisions contained in the Mortgage; and

 

Whereas, the execution and delivery by FPL of this ________________________ Supplemental Indenture, and the terms of the bonds, hereinafter referred to in Article I, have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of FPL by appropriate resolutions of said Board of Directors;

FPL further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its successors in said trust under the Mortgage, as follows:

 

  

ARTICLE I
_____________________ Series of Bonds

 

Section 1.   ¹(I) There shall be a series of bonds designated “____% Series due _________, ____”, herein sometimes referred to as the “_____________________ Series”, each of which shall also bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof, which shall be established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of FPL, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified. Bonds of the _____________________ Series shall mature on __________, ____ and shall be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of ____________ Dollars and, at the option of FPL, in integral multiples of ____________ Dollars (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof); they shall bear interest at the rate of ____% per annum, payable semi-annually on _______ and _________ of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing on _____________; the principal of and interest on each said bond to be payable at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. Bonds of the _____________________ Series shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided. The record date for payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on (1) the Business Day (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date so long as all of the bonds of the _____________________ Series are held by a securities depository in book-entry only form or (2) the 15th calendar day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date if any of the bonds of the _____________________ Series are not held by a securities depository in book-entry only form. Interest on the bonds of the _____________________ Series will accrue from and including ____________, ____ to but excluding _______, ____ and, thereafter, from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (and if no interest has been paid on the bonds of the _____________________ Series, from ________________) to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. No interest will accrue on a bond of the _____________________ Series for the day on which such bond matures. The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full semi-annual period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of the number of days in the period using 30-day calendar months. If any date on which interest, principal or premium is payable on the bonds of the _____________________ Series falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest, principal or premium payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day, and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay. A “Business Day” is any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in New York City are generally authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

(II)        [Bonds of the _____________________ Series shall be redeemable either at the option of FPL or pursuant to the requirements of the Mortgage (including, among other requirements, the application of cash delivered to or deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 64 of the Mortgage or with proceeds of Released Property) in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity of the bonds of the _____________________ Series, upon notice as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, at the applicable price described below.]²

 

(III)       At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the _____________________ Series, upon surrender thereof for exchange at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, together with a written instrument of transfer wherever required by FPL, duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, shall (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.

 

Bonds of the _____________________ Series shall be transferable (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

 

1

The provisions in this Section 1 will be inserted in supplemental indentures relating to the issuance of First Mortgage Bonds, provided that bracketed language may change.

2

These or other redemption provisions or other terms and conditions relating to the series of First Mortgage Bonds may be inserted here.

 

  

Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the _____________________ Series, FPL may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but FPL hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of the _____________________ Series.]

 

Section 1.   ³(I)  There shall be a series of bonds designated “Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series ____”, herein sometimes referred to as the “__________________ Series”, each of which shall also bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof, which shall be established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of FPL, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified. Bonds of the __________________ Series shall be issued from time to time in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $___________ at any one time Outstanding except as provided in Section 16 of the Mortgage. [The amount which may be Outstanding from time to time will be stated in one or more notices of receipt of advance under mortgage providing for future advances (a form of which is annexed hereto) executed by the Company and recorded in Palm Beach County, Florida, and in one or more acknowledgements of future advance (a form of which is annexed hereto) executed by FPL and the Trustee and recorded in Monroe County, Georgia.] Bonds of the __________________ Series shall be issued as fully registered bonds in the denominations of ____ Dollars and, at the option of FPL, in any larger amount that is an integral multiple of ____ Dollars or any other denominations (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof); each bond of the __________________ Series shall mature on [such date not less than ________ months nor more than ______________ years from date of issue,] shall bear interest at [such rate or rates (which may be either fixed or variable) and have such other terms and provisions not inconsistent with the Mortgage as the Board of Directors may determine in accordance with a Resolution filed with the Trustee referring to this ________________________ Supplemental Indenture]; interest on bonds of the __________________ Series [which bear interest at a fixed rate] shall be payable [semi-annually on ___________________ and ___________________ of each year] and at maturity (each an interest payment date); interest on bonds of the __________________ Series [which bear interest at a variable rate] shall be payable [on the dates established on the Issue Date [or the Original Interest Accrual Date] with respect to such bonds and shall be set forth in such bonds.] [Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on the bonds of the __________________ Series, all bonds of the __________________ Series authenticated by the Trustee after the Record Date hereinafter specified for any interest payment date, and prior to such interest payment date (unless the Issue Date [or the Original Interest Accrual Date] is after such Record Date), shall be dated the date of authentication, but shall bear interest from such interest payment date, and the person in whose name any bond of the __________________ Series is registered at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date, notwithstanding the cancellation of such bond of the __________________ Series, upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the Record Date and on or prior to such interest payment date. If the Issue Date [or the Original Interest Accrual Date] of the bonds of the __________________ Series of a designated interest rate and maturity is after the Record Date, such bonds shall bear interest from the Issue Date [or the Original Interest Accrual Date] but payment of interest shall commence on the second interest payment date succeeding the Issue Date [or the Original Interest Accrual Date]. “Record Date” for bonds of the __________________ Series which bear interest at a fixed rate shall mean ___________________ for interest payable ___________________ and ___________________ for interest payable ___________________, and for bonds of the ___________________ Series which bear interest at a variable rate, the date 15 calendar days prior to any interest payment date, provided that, interest payable on the maturity date will be payable to the person to whom the principal thereof shall be payable. “Issue Date” [or “Original Interest Accrual Date”] with respect to bonds of the __________________ Series of a designated interest rate and maturity [unless a Resolution filed with the Trustee on or before such date shall specify another date from which interest shall accrue, then such other date for bonds of such designated interest rate and maturity.] shall mean the date of first authentication of bonds of such designated interest rate and maturity.] The principal of and interest on each said bond is payable at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. Bonds of the __________________ Series shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided.

 

3

These provisions will be inserted in any supplemental indentures relating to the issuance of First Mortgage Bonds designated Secured Medium-Term Notes, provided that the bracketed language may change.

 

  

(II)        [Bonds of the _____________________ Series shall be redeemable either at the option of FPL or pursuant to the requirements of the Mortgage (including, among other requirements, the application of cash delivered to or deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 64 of the Mortgage or with proceeds of Released Property) in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity of the bonds of the _____________________ Series, upon notice as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, as the Board of Directors may determine in accordance with a Resolution filed with the Trustee referring to this _____________________ Supplemental Indenture.]⁴

 

(III)       At the option of the registered owner any bonds of the _____________________ Series, upon surrender thereof for exchange at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, together with a written instrument of transfer wherever required by FPL, duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, shall (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.

 

Bonds of the _____________________ Series shall be transferable (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

 

Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the _____________________ Series, FPL may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but FPL hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of the _____________________ Series.

 

4

These or other redemption provisions or other terms and conditions relating to the series of First Mortgage Bonds designated Secured Medium-Term Notes may be inserted here.

 

  

ARTICLE II
Consent to Amendments

 

Section 2.   Each initial and future holder of bonds of the __________________ Series, by its acquisition of an interest in such bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article II of the One Hundred Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE III

Section 4.   [The holders of bonds of the __________________ Series consent that FPL may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of bonds of the __________________ Series entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, those persons who were holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than ninety (90) days after such record date.]⁵

 

Section 5.   The Trustee hereby accepts the trust herein declared, provided, created or supplemented and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein and in the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, set forth and upon the following terms and conditions:

 

The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this ________________________ Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made by FPL solely. In general, each and every term and condition contained in Article XVII of the Mortgage, as heretofore amended, shall apply to and form part of this ________________________ Supplemental Indenture with the same force and effect as if the same were herein set forth in full with such omissions, variations and insertions, if any, as may be appropriate to make the same conform to the provisions of this ________________________ Supplemental Indenture.

 

5

This provision may be deleted in any supplemental indenture relating to the issuance of First Mortgage Bonds other than those which are issued to The Depository Trust Company, or its successor. The remaining sections will be renumbered accordingly.

 

  

Section 6.   Whenever in this ________________________ Supplemental Indenture either of the parties hereto is named or referred to, this shall, subject to the provisions of Articles XVI and XVII of the Mortgage, as heretofore amended, be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all the covenants and agreements in this ________________________ Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of FPL, or by or on behalf of the Trustee, or either of them, shall, subject as aforesaid, bind and inure to the respective benefits of the respective successors and assigns of such parties, whether so expressed or not.
