If the Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment Payment is a positive amount, then Purchaser shall pay in cash to Seller such positive amount.

ARTICLE TWO
OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES
7




2.1.Rights to Develop Subsequent Phases. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, NEP Acquisitions 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 directly or indirectly by NextEra. Without limiting NextEra’s obligations under this Section 2.1, any Affiliate Build-Out Agreement or Transferred Affiliate Build-Out Agreement shall apply only to the Subsequent Phase Rights acquired by such Affiliate while it is an Affiliate of NextEra.
(a)Prior to the later of (i) the beginning of the Implementation of any Subsequent Phase or (ii) ten (10) days following the execution of this Agreement, the Subsequent Phase Owner will, at its own expense, prepare and present to each Project Owner, the Independent Wind Consultant (to the extent the Subsequent Phase is wind farm), each Independent Engineer and each Independent Transmission Consultant a detailed development procedure (including the proposed design and construction timetable for the Subsequent Phase) (the “Phase Design”) sufficient to allow (i) the applicable Independent Engineer to analyze and determine on a preliminary basis the applicable Wind Interference Effect, applicable Shading and Soiling Effect and the applicable O&M Interference Effect and (ii) the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant to analyze and determine on a preliminary basis the applicable Transmission Access Effect. NextEra, or its Affiliates, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will cause (i) the applicable Independent Engineer to calculate the applicable Wind Interference Effect, applicable Shading and Soiling Effect, and the applicable O&M Interference Effect and (ii) the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant to calculate the applicable Transmission Access Effect; provided, however, that NextEra, its Affiliates and the Subsequent Phase Owner shall have no obligation to cause any Independent Engineer to perform such calculation with respect to (x) a Wind Interference Effect if no Wind Turbines of the Subsequent Phase will be within five (5) kilometers of any Wind Turbines of any Project, or (y) a Shading and Soiling Effect if no Solar Facilities or the Subsequent Phase will be within 1.0 (one) kilometer of any Solar Project.
(b)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the applicable Independent Transmission Consultant) under Section 2.1(a), NextEra will run the applicable Project Model for such Project or Projects, in each case, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the applicable Subsequent Phase Effect as calculated on a preliminary basis.
8




(c)If the Project Model as modified for the Subsequent Phase Effect, as reasonably determined by the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant) on a preliminary basis, results in a 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 a Cash Adjustment is equal to or less than zero, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(c).
(d)As a condition to commencing construction of the Subsequent Phase or relocation of the applicable Wind Turbine included in such Subsequent Phase, the Subsequent Phase Owner will provide one or more guarantees by NextEra for any Cash Adjustment, as applicable, or in lieu thereof, a letter of credit or other security in form and substance, and issued by a party, reasonably satisfactory to NEP Acquisitions.
(e)Prior to commencement of operation of a Subsequent Phase (or any portion thereof which could reasonably be expected to affect a Project) on a commercial basis, the Subsequent Phase Owner and NextEra will cause the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant) to calculate the Subsequent Phase Effect on a final basis to reflect the final design and construction timetable (including changes in the projected construction schedule and operations date).
(f)Based on the Subsequent Phase Effect, if any, as reasonably determined by the Independent Engineer (taking into account the Transmission Access Effect, if any, reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant) under Section 2.1(e), NextEra will re-run the Project Model for such Project or Projects, changing the inputs or assumptions, as applicable, solely to give effect to the final Subsequent Phase Effect.
(g)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, reasonably determined by the Independent Transmission Consultant), in connection with the Implementation of the Subsequent Phase is negative as to NEP Acquisitions, NextEra will determine the Cash Adjustment, if applicable, and the Subsequent Phase Owner will, within thirty (30) days of such determination, pay any such Cash Adjustment, as applicable, due to NEP Acquisitions. If the Project Model, as modified on a final basis for the final Subsequent Phase Effect results in a Cash Adjustment equal to or less than zero, then, no further action is required under this Section 2.1(g).
(h)Upon payment of a Cash Adjustment, the Project Model, will be revised to reflect, with respect to any Project or Projects, (i) the final Subsequent Phase Effect and (ii) the final Cash Adjustment and, as so revised, will be the Project Model used for purposes of this Section 2.1 in respect of the next Subsequent Phase, if any.
(i)If NEP Acquisitions 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 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 each shall appoint an independent expert to resolve such dispute. Thereafter, if such independent experts cannot agree within twenty (20) days of
9




receiving all appropriate information, they shall jointly appoint a third independent expert whose decision shall be binding on 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 request of 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 payment (with interest at the prevailing rate) as necessary. The cost of the independent experts shall be the responsibility of the Subsequent Phase Owner unless NEP Acquisitions or its Affiliates shall have acted in bad faith in which case they shall be obligated to pay such costs.
(j)NextEra will not and will not permit any NextEra Affiliate 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 NEP Acquisitions.
