One Hundred Thirty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture
Relating to:
$750,000,000 Principal Amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 4.40% Series due May 15, 2028
$500,000,000 Principal Amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 4.625% Series due May 15, 2030
$750,000,000 Principal Amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 4.80% Series due May 15, 2033
Dated as of May 1, 2023
This Supplemental Indenture has been executed in several counterparts, all of which constitute but one and the same instrument. This Supplemental Indenture has been recorded in several counties and documentary stamp taxes as required by law in the amount of $7,000,000.00 and non-recurring intangible taxes as required by law in the amount of $253,465.46 are being paid on the Supplemental Indenture being recorded in the public records of Palm Beach County, Florida.
Note to Examiner: The new bonds being issued in connection with this Supplemental Indenture (“New Bonds”) are secured by real property and personal property located both within Florida and outside of Florida. The aggregate fair market value of the collateral exceeds the aggregate principal amount of (y) the New Bonds plus (z) the other outstanding bonds secured by the mortgage supplemented hereby and all previous supplemental indentures thereto. The intangible tax has been computed pursuant to Section 199.133(2), Florida Statutes, by (i) determining the percentage of the aggregate fair market value of the collateral constituting real property situated in Florida and by multiplying that percentage times the principal amount of the New Bonds (the result hereinafter defined as the “Tax Base”) and (ii) multiplying the tax rate times the Tax Base.

ARTICLE I
One Hundred Thirty-Third Series of Bonds
One Hundred Thirty-Third Series of Bonds
Section 1.(I) There shall be a series of bonds designated “4.40% Series due May 15, 2028,” herein sometimes referred to as the “One Hundred Thirty-Third 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 One Hundred Thirty-Third Series shall mature on May 15, 2028, and shall be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of Two Thousand Dollars and, at the option of FPL, in integral multiples of One Thousand Dollars in excess thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof); they shall bear interest at the rate of 4.40% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an “One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Interest Payment Date”) commencing on November 15, 2023; the principal of and interest on each said bond to be payable at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of
- 4 -
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 One Hundred Thirty-Third 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 One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Interest Payment Date so long as all of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third 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 One Hundred Thirty-Third Series are not held by a securities depository in book-entry only form. Interest on the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series will accrue from and including May 18, 2023 to but excluding November 15, 2023 and, thereafter, from and including the last One Hundred Thirty-Third Series 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 One Hundred Thirty-Third Series, from May 18, 2023) to but excluding the next succeeding One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Interest Payment Date. No interest will accrue on a bond of the One Hundred Thirty-Third 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, if any, is payable on the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third 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 One Hundred Thirty-Third 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 One Hundred Thirty-Third Series, upon notice as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage (the “Redemption Notice”), which notice will be given as required by the Mortgage, as hereto and hereafter supplemented and amended, prior to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), at the price (each a “One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Redemption Price”) described below.
Prior to March 15, 2028 (two months prior to the maturity date of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series) (the “One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date”), FPL may redeem the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series matured on the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
- 5 -
30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and
(2)100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date.
On or after the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date, FPL may redeem the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date.
“Treasury Rate” with respect to bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by FPL in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by FPL after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, FPL shall select, as applicable:
(1)the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date (the “One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Remaining Life”); or
(2)if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or
- 6 -
(3)if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Remaining Life.
For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.
If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, FPL shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date, FPL shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, FPL shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
FPL’s actions and determinations in determining the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
The Trustee shall have no duty to determine, or to verify FPL’s calculations of, the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series Redemption Price.
(III)At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third 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.
- 7 -
Bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third 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 One Hundred Thirty-Third 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 One Hundred Thirty-Third Series.
ARTICLE II

One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series of Bonds
Section 2. (I) There shall be a series of bonds designated “4.625% Series due May 15, 2030,” herein sometimes referred to as the “One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series shall mature on May 15, 2030, and shall be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of Two Thousand Dollars and, at the option of FPL, in integral multiples of One Thousand Dollars in excess thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof); they shall bear interest at the rate of 4.625% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an “One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Interest Payment Date”) commencing on November 15, 2023; 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Interest Payment Date so long as all of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series are not held by a securities depository in book-entry only form. Interest on the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series will accrue from and including May 18, 2023 to but excluding November 15, 2023 and, thereafter, from and including the last One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series, from May 18, 2023) to but excluding the next succeeding One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Interest Payment Date. No interest will accrue on a bond of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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, if any, is payable on the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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.

(II)Bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series, upon Redemption Notice, which notice will be given as required by the Mortgage, as hereto and hereafter supplemented and amended, prior to the Redemption Date, at the price (each a “One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Redemption Price”) described below.
Prior to March 15, 2030 (two months prior to the maturity date of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series) (the “One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date”), FPL may redeem the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series matured on the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and
(2)100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series to be redeemed,

“Treasury Rate” with respect to bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by FPL in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by FPL after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”).

- 9 -
(1)the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date (the “One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Remaining Life”); or

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, FPL shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date, FPL shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, FPL shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
FPL’s actions and determinations in determining the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
- 10 -
The Trustee shall have no duty to determine, or to verify FPL’s calculations of, the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series Redemption Price.
(III)At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series.
ARTICLE III
One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series of Bonds
One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series of Bonds
Section 3. (I) There shall be a series of bonds designated “4.80% Series due May 15, 2033,” herein sometimes referred to as the “One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series shall mature on May 15, 2033, and shall be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of Two Thousand Dollars and, at the option of FPL, in integral multiples of One Thousand Dollars in excess thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof); they shall bear interest at the rate of 4.80% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an “One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Interest Payment Date”) commencing on November 15, 2023; 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Interest Payment Date so long as all of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series are not held by a securities depository in book-entry only form. Interest on the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series will accrue from and including May 18, 2023 to but excluding November 15, 2023 and, thereafter, from and including the last One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series, from May 18, 2023) to but excluding
- 11 -
the next succeeding One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Interest Payment Date. No interest will accrue on a bond of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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, if any, is payable on the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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.
(II) Bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series, upon Redemption Notice, which notice will be given as required by the Mortgage, as hereto and hereafter supplemented and amended, prior to the Redemption Date, at the price (each a “One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Redemption Price”) described below.
Prior to February 15, 2033 (three months prior to the maturity date of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series) (the “One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date”), FPL may redeem the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series matured on the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and
(2) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date.
On or after the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date, FPL may redeem the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date.
- 12 -
“Treasury Rate” with respect to bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by FPL in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by FPL after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, FPL shall select, as applicable:
(1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date (the “One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Remaining Life”); or
(2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or
(3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Remaining Life.
For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.
If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, FPL shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date, FPL shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, FPL shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par
- 13 -
based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
FPL’s actions and determinations in determining the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
The Trustee shall have no duty to determine, or to verify FPL’s calculations of, the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series Redemption Price.
(III) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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 One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Series.
ARTICLE IV
Consent to Amendments of the Mortgage
Section 4. Each initial and future holder of bonds of the One Hundred Thirty-Third Series, One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Series and One Hundred Thirty-Fifth 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, dated as of June 15, 2018, 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.
