If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs information, Purchaser objects in writing to Seller (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items), such disputed items shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in subparagraph 3(e) below. If any of such Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs are not timely objected to by Purchaser, then such Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs and the resulting Actual Working Capital and Actual Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance shall be deemed final and no longer subject to dispute by either of the Parties. If within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs information, Purchaser does not object in writing to Seller, then the representatives of the Parties shall meet within five (5) Business Days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period to revise the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraph 3(f) below using Seller’s list of Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date; provided, that, if within such five (5) Business Day period the representatives of the Parties have not met to revise the Portfolio Project Model, then the representative of Seller shall revise and re-run the Portfolio Project Model in accordance with subparagraph 3(f) below using Seller’s list of Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date.

(c)If the list of the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date is not prepared and delivered by Seller within the sixty (60) day period set forth in subparagraph 3(b) above, Purchaser shall be entitled (but not obligated) during the fifteen (15) day period commencing on the sixty-first (61st) day after the Closing Date to prepare (at Purchaser’s expense) and deliver to Seller a list of the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date as determined in good faith by Purchaser to calculate the Actual Working Capital and the Actual Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance, together with a reasonably detailed explanation and documentation of such Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs information, Seller objects in writing to Purchaser (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items), such disputed items shall be subject to the objection and resolution provisions set forth in subparagraph 3(e) below. If any of such Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs are not timely objected to by Seller, then such Working Capital Inputs, Indigo

Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs and the resulting Actual Working Capital and Actual Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance shall be deemed final and no longer subject to dispute by either of the Parties. If within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs information, Seller does not object in writing to Purchaser, then the representatives of the Parties shall meet within five (5) Business Days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period to revise the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraph 3(f) below using Purchaser’s list of Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date; provided, that, if within such five (5) Business Day period the representatives of the Parties have not met to revise the Portfolio Project Model, then the representative of Purchaser shall revise and re-run the Portfolio Project Model in accordance with subparagraph 3(f) below using Purchaser’s list of Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date.

(d)If neither Purchaser nor Seller prepare and timely deliver a list of the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date in accordance with subparagraph 3(b) or subparagraph 3(c), above, no adjustments to the Portfolio Project Model will be made pursuant to subparagraph 3(f) below and the Closing Purchase Price shall be the Purchase Price.

(e)If Purchaser timely objects to Seller’s list of the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date pursuant to subparagraph 3(b) or if Seller timely objects to Purchaser’s list of the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date pursuant to subparagraph 3(c), then Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve the particular items and values that are identified in the applicable written notice of objection over a ten (10) day period commencing on delivery of written notice of objection pursuant to subparagraph 3(b) or subparagraph 3(c), as the case may be. Should such negotiations not result in an agreement as to the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date within such ten (10) day period (or such longer period as Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree in writing), then either Party may submit such disputed items and values to the Neutral Auditor. Each Party agrees to promptly execute a reasonable engagement letter, if requested to do so by the Neutral Auditor. Seller and Purchaser, and their respective representatives, shall cooperate fully with the Neutral Auditor. The Neutral Auditor, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall resolve such disputed items and determine the values to be ascribed thereto, and determine the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date. The Parties hereby agree that the Neutral Auditor shall only decide the values ascribed to the specific disputed items, and the Neutral Auditor’s decision with respect to such disputed items must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the applicable proposed list of the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date delivered by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and the notice of objection, respectively. The Neutral Auditor shall be directed to determine such values (in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) within thirty (30)

days after being retained as provided in this subparagraph 3(e). All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditor will be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. The Neutral Auditor shall be directed to resolve the disputed items and deliver to Seller and Purchaser a written determination of the amounts for such disputed items (such determination to be made consistent with this subparagraph 3(e), to include all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Auditor by Purchaser and Seller) within thirty (30) days after being retained and such determination will be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and their respective Affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the dispute resolution mechanism contained in this subparagraph 3(e) shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving disputes, if any, regarding the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date for purposes of revising the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraph 3(f) below, if any, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article X of the Agreement for Losses relating to matters used in determining or calculating the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date (other than the failure to pay amounts, if any, that become due and payable pursuant to subparagraph 3(f) below) or in respect of any of the assets or liabilities that are transferred to or assumed by Purchaser and that were included in the calculation of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment and Post-Closing Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance. Within five (5) Business Days following the delivery by the Neutral Auditor to Seller and Purchaser of the Neutral Auditor’s written determination of the amounts of the disputed items of Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date, the representatives of the Parties shall meet to revise the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraph 3(f) below using Seller’s or Purchaser’s list of Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date delivered pursuant to subparagraph 3(b) or subparagraph 3(c) above, as the case may be, as modified by the Neutral Auditor’s determination of the amounts of the specific disputed items; provided, that, if within such five (5) Business Day period the representatives of the Parties have not met to revise the Portfolio Project Model, then the representative of Seller shall revise and re-run the Portfolio Project Model in accordance with subparagraph 3(f) below using the applicable list of Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs as of the Closing Date as modified by the Neutral Auditor.

(f)Within the applicable period set forth in subparagraphs 3(b), 3(c) or 3(e) above, as applicable, representatives of the Parties shall meet to revise the Portfolio Project Model as follows:

(i)the representatives of the Parties shall revise the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs to the Portfolio Project Model to reflect all changes to the Working Capital Inputs and Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance Inputs; and

(ii)following the completion of the revisions described in clause (i), the Purchase Price shall be set forth in cell “C18” in the worksheet labeled “Purchase Price Calculation” in the Portfolio Project Model.

Immediately upon completion of the revision of the Portfolio Project Model as set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph 3(f), Seller shall calculate the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment and Post-Closing Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance (which calculation shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding on Seller and Purchaser) and not later than one (1) Business Day after such calculation is completed, notify Purchaser of the amount of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment and the Post-Closing Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance (which may be a positive or negative amount). If the sum of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment and the Post-Closing Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance is a positive amount, then Purchaser shall pay in cash to Seller such positive amount. If the sum of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment and the Post-Closing Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance is a negative amount, then Seller shall pay in cash to Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of the sum of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment and the Post-Closing Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance. Any such payment in respect of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment and the Post-Closing Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance will be due and payable within three (3) Business Days after the Seller gives notice to Purchaser of the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment and the Post-Closing Indigo Plains Solar Financing Balance as provided in this subparagraph 3(f). Any payments made pursuant to this subparagraph 3(f) shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes of the Agreement, including Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

The Parties have agreed to the wording of this Agreement, and none of the provisions of this Agreement will be construed against one Party on the ground that such Party is the author of this Agreement or any part of this Agreement.

2.1    Rights to Develop Subsequent Phases.

(a)    In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, NEPA acknowledges and agrees to the right of any Subsequent Phase Owner to Implement any Subsequent Phase. Each Party and each Subsequent Phase Owner which is a party hereto agrees that it will not Implement any Subsequent Phase, except in compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1. Without limiting the foregoing, NextEra agrees that it will not permit any of its Affiliates to Implement any Subsequent Phase unless such Affiliate complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1 or enters into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase (an “Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) in substantially the form of, or becomes a party to, this Agreement. In addition, NextEra further agrees that prior to it or any of its Affiliates selling or otherwise transferring any direct or indirect interest in an Affiliate of NextEra that has Subsequent Phase Rights to any non-Affiliate, it shall cause such Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights to become a party to this Agreement or to enter into a build-out agreement with respect to such Subsequent Phase Rights in substantially the form of this Agreement (a “Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement”) unless the Affiliate holding such Subsequent Phase Rights continues to be controlled or managed directly or indirectly by NextEra. For the avoidance of doubt, any such Affiliate Build-Out Agreement or Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement shall not apply to Subsequent Phase Rights acquired by a former Affiliate of NextEra (which is not an Affiliate at the time of such acquisition); rather, such acquisition by a former Affiliate of NextEra will instead be treated as an acquisition by an ordinary non-Affiliate of NextEra for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)    Prior to beginning the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase, the Subsequent Phase Owner will, at its own expense, prepare and present to the applicable Project Owner a detailed development procedure (including the proposed design and construction timetable for the Subsequent Phase), and if appropriate, a new or modified metering protocol (the “Phase Design”) and determine on a preliminary basis (i) solely with respect to a Solar Project, the Shading and Soiling Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Shading and Soiling Effect on such Solar Project), (ii) solely with respect to a Wind Project, the Wind Interference Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Wind Interference Effect), (iii) the O&M Interference Effect, and (iv) the Transmission Access Effect. The applicable Project Owner and the Subsequent Phase Owner will calculate (1) solely with respect to a Solar Project, the Shading and Soiling Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Shading and Soiling Effect on such Solar Project), (2) solely with respect to a Wind Project, the Wind Interference Effect (unless such Subsequent Phase does not result in any Wind Interference Effect), (3) the O&M Interference Effect, and (4) the Transmission Access Effect; provided, however, that the applicable Project Owner and the Subsequent Phase Owner shall have no obligation to perform such calculation with respect to the Wind Interference Effect if the Subsequent Phase does not contain any Proximate Turbines of the applicable Project.

(c)    Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Subsequent Phase Owner, NextEra will run the Portfolio Project Model for the applicable Project, in each case, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the Subsequent Phase Effect as calculated on a preliminary basis.

(d)    If the applicable Portfolio Project Model is modified for the Subsequent Phase Effect, as reasonably determined by the Subsequent Phase Owner on a preliminary basis, results in Build-Out Payment greater than zero, then NextEra will determine the relevant Cash Adjustment, assuming that the Subsequent Phase is built in accordance with the Phase Design. If the Portfolio Project Model as modified on a preliminary basis for the Subsequent Phase Effect is equal to zero, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(d).

(e)    As a condition to Implementation of the Subsequent Phase, but only if the estimated Cash Adjustment is in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000), the Subsequent Phase Owner will provide one or more guarantees by NextEra for the Cash Adjustment, or in lieu thereof, a letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party, reasonably satisfactory to NEPA.

(f)    Within ninety (90) days following the commencement of operation of a Subsequent Phase (or any portion thereof which could reasonably be expected to affect any Project) on a commercial basis, the Subsequent Phase Owner and the applicable Project Owner will cause (1) the Independent Engineer to provide a report analyzing and determining (A) the Shading and Soiling Effect (solely with respect to a Solar Project), (B) the Wind Interference Effect, and (C) the O&M Interference Effect, (2) the Independent Transmission Consultant to provide a report analyzing and determining (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in analyzing and determining) on a final basis the Transmission Access Effect, and (3) the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) to calculate the Subsequent Phase Effect and provide a report reflecting the final design and construction timetable (including changes in the projected construction schedule and operations date), and if appropriate, a new or modified metering protocol (each such report in subsections (1) through (3), a “Report” and collectively, the “Reports”); provided that if the Independent Engineer determines that the Subsequent Phase does not result in any O&M Interference Effect, Shading and Soiling Effect (solely with respect to a Solar Project), or Wind Interference Effect (solely with respect to a Wind Project), then the Subsequent Phase Effect shall be equal to the Transmission Access Effect, if any. The Reports shall be subject to review and comment as provided in Section 2.1(g) below.

(g)    Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) under Section 2.1(f), NextEra will re-run the Portfolio Project Model for the applicable Project, in each case, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the final Subsequent Phase Effect.

(h)    If the final determination of the Subsequent Phase Effect as reasonably determined by the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant (and to the extent any of the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Transmission Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination)) and the Wind Interference Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Wind Consultant (and to the extent the analysis is beyond the scope of the Independent Wind Consultant, the Independent Engineer shall assist in such reasonable determination) is negative as to NEPA, NextEra will determine the Cash Adjustment, if any, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such determination (as obtained in Section 2.1(g) above), pay any such Cash Adjustment to NEPA. If the applicable Portfolio Project Model, as modified on a final basis for the final Subsequent Phase Effect, results in a Cash Adjustment equal to zero, then no further action is required under this Section 2.1(h).

(i)    Upon payment of a Cash Adjustment to NEPA by NextEra, the Portfolio Project Model will be revised to reflect, with respect to the applicable Project, (A) the final Subsequent Phase Effect and (B) the final Cash Adjustment, and, as so revised, will be the Portfolio Project Model used for purposes of this Section 2.1 in respect of the next Subsequent Phase, if any.

(j)    If NEPA disputes the calculation of a Cash Adjustment, the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties shall meet and work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Subsequent Phase Owner and the Parties disputing the calculation cannot resolve such disagreement within twenty (20) days, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall pay the portion of any Cash Adjustment that is not in dispute, and the Subsequent Phase Owner and NEPA shall each appoint an independent expert to resolve such dispute. Thereafter, if such independent experts cannot agree within twenty (20) days of receiving all appropriate information, they shall jointly appoint a third independent expert whose decision shall be binding on the Subsequent Phase Owner and each of the Parties, and, failing agreement on such third independent expert within ten (10) days, such third independent expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce upon the written request of the Subsequent Phase Owner or any Party. To the extent it is determined that any Cash Adjustment was not calculated correctly, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall make a supplemental Cash Adjustment (with interest at the prevailing rate) as necessary. The cost of the independent experts shall be the responsibility of the Subsequent Phase Owner unless NEPA or its Affiliates shall have acted in bad faith, in which case NEPA shall be obligated to pay such costs.

(k)    NextEra will not and will not permit any Affiliate of NextEra to, and each Party agrees it will not, sell or transfer any Subsequent Phase Rights to another Subsequent Party, unless it simultaneously assigns and delegates to such Subsequent Party, and such Subsequent Party shall assume, the rights and obligations of the Subsequent Phase Owner under this Agreement to the extent relating to such Subsequent Phase or enters into a build-out agreement in respect of such Subsequent Phase in substantially the form of this Agreement; provided that, in connection with any assignment of any Subsequent Phase Rights relating to a Subsequent Phase which is being Implemented and for which a guaranty by NextEra, letter of credit or other security is outstanding, such guaranty, letter of credit or other security shall either remain in full force and effect or be replaced with another guaranty, letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party which is, reasonably satisfactory to NEPA.

2.2    Shared Facilities Agreement.

The Parties acknowledge that, as currently contemplated, the Implementation of one or more of the Subsequent Phases may require access to and use of the facilities (a) owned or leased by a Project Owner or (b) to which a Project Owner holds an easement, right-of-way or other interest, including a Project substation and the real property upon which such Project substation is located. To the extent that such facilities will accommodate Subsequent Phases on an ongoing operational basis (and excluding any temporary shared access for less than six (6) months that is addressed pursuant to any Transmission Access Effect and the adjustments therefor made pursuant to the terms hereof), prior to the commencement of construction in connection with such Subsequent Phase that will require access to and use of such facilities for purposes of its operations, the Subsequent Phase Owner shall become a party to a shared facilities agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Each Project Owner agrees, upon the request of the Subsequent Phase Owner in respect of the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase, to execute and deliver a shared facilities agreement in a form to be agreed to by the Subsequent Phase Owner and the applicable Project Owner; provided that such agreement shall be on terms no less favorable to the Project Owner than generally available in an arm’s-length transaction and shall not result in a material adverse effect on any Project or NEPA (the “Shared Facilities Agreement”). At the request of the Subsequent Phase Owner, the applicable Project Owner will consider, in good faith and in its reasonable discretion, granting access to and use of (to the extent such Project Owner has the right to grant such access and use of) the operations and maintenance building used by its Project (the “O&M Building”) and the O&M Building site with respect to a Subsequent Phase but only where such access and use do not interfere with, and are not otherwise incompatible with, the use of such facilities and property by the applicable Project or any other previously constructed Subsequent Phase that has been granted access to and use of the O&M Building and O&M Building site. Each Party agrees that (i) to the extent that a Subsequent Phase shares, has been granted access to or uses the Transmission Facilities of a Project, the Shared Facilities Agreement (or a standalone metering agreement) will address shared metering protocols as needed to properly allocate line and/or load losses and charging and/or discharging (subject to the approval of the relevant offtaker, if applicable) between the Project, the applicable Subsequent Phase and any other electric generation or energy storage facilities sharing, accessing or using such Transmission Facilities of the applicable Project and (ii) the Shared Facilities Agreement will provide for the right and obligation of any Subsequent Phase to share, pro rata with the total installed capacity of the applicable Project and the Subsequent Phase at such time (taking into account such Subsequent Phase), in the benefits, costs and liabilities of certain Shared Facilities (to be defined in the Shared Facilities Agreement) of the applicable Project; provided that the Subsequent Phase shall not be obligated to pay a pro rata share of the capital costs of such existing Shared Facilities and no Project shall be obligated to pay a pro rata share of the capital costs of such new Shared Facilities constructed by the Subsequent Phase; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if any such sharing causes an increase in the costs (including capital costs and operation and maintenance costs) and/or liabilities of any Project, such Subsequent Phase will be solely responsible for such incremental increase (it being understood that any such incremental increase in costs shall be without duplication of any costs already incorporated into any Transmission Access Effect already taken into account as part of the determination of the Subsequent Phase Effect pursuant to Section 2.1). Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall prohibit (1) the placement of wind generating facilities or energy storage facilities on land described in the Project Easements and (2) the entry into or execution of any co-tenancy agreement or sub-easement or assignment of Project Easements in connection with such placement, so long as each of the following is satisfied: (A) the Subsequent Party Implementing such wind generating facility or energy storage facility assumes the rights and obligations of the Subsequent Phase Owner under this Agreement with respect to such facility or enters into a build out agreement in respect of such facility in substantially the form of this Agreement and (B) such placement and operation of the wind generating facility or energy storage facility is not otherwise incompatible with, the use of such land and Project Easements by the Project.
