Protective Covenants In consideration of the Award granted under this Agreement, the Grantee covenants and agrees as follows (the “Protective Covenants”):
(a) During the Grantee’s Service with the Company, and for a two-year period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company, the Grantee agrees not to (i) compete or attempt to compete for, or act as a broker or otherwise participate in, any projects in which the Company has at any time done any work or undertaken any development efforts, or (ii) directly or indirectly solicit any of the Company’s customers, vendors, contractors, agents, or any other parties with which the Company has an existing or prospective business relationship, for the benefit of the Grantee or for the benefit of any third party, nor shall the Grantee accept consideration or negotiate or enter into agreements with such parties for the benefit of the Grantee or any third party.
(b) During the Grantee’s Service with the Company and for a two-year period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company, the Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Grantee or for any other business, person or entity, entice, induce or solicit or attempt to entice, induce or solicit any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to leave the Company’s employ (or the employ of any such Subsidiary or other Affiliate) or to hire or to cause any employee of the Company to become employed for any reason whatsoever.
(c) The Grantee shall not, at any time or in any way, disparage the Company or its current or former officers, directors, and employees, orally or in writing, or make any statements that may be derogatory or detrimental to the Company’s good name or business reputation.
(d) The Grantee acknowledges that the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law for monetary damages if the Grantee breaches these Protective Covenants. Therefore, in addition to all remedies to which the Company may be entitled for a breach or threatened breach of these Protective Covenants, including but not limited to monetary damages, the Company will be entitled to specific enforcement of these Protective Covenants and to injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for a breach or threatened breach. In addition, upon any breach of these Protective Covenants or any separate confidentiality agreement or confidentiality provision between the Company and the Grantee, all of the Grantee’s rights to receive Performance Shares not theretofore delivered under this Agreement shall be forfeited.
(e) For purposes of this section 9, the term “Company” shall include all Subsidiaries and other Affiliates of the Company (such Subsidiaries and other Affiliates being hereinafter referred to as the “NextEra Entities”). The Company and the Grantee agree that each of the NextEra Entities is an intended third-party beneficiary of this section 9, and further agree that each of the NextEra Entities is entitled to enforce the provisions of this section 9 in accordance with its terms.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the terms of these Protective Covenants shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect.
Tenant’s Remedies Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any default hereunder by Landlord is not cured within the applicable cure period provided in Paragraph 20(c) or any other applicable cure period provided in this Lease (including any Mortgagee’s additional cure period), Tenant’s exclusive remedies shall be (i) an action for specific performance, or (ii) an action for actual damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the liability of Landlord to Tenant for any breach or default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease, or for any other matter related to this Lease or to the Premises or Project, shall be limited to Tenant’s actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor, and any judgment against Landlord in connection therewith shall be recoverable only from the interest of Landlord in the Buildings. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss arising from Landlord’s entry and acts pursuant to Paragraph 18 or otherwise with respect to any act, omission or breach of Landlord. Without limiting the preceding sentence, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages, including, without limitation, any losses arising from any interruption of Tenant’s business, or for lost profits, or for charges or expenses which continue but would have been earned if the business had gone on without interruption, or for any other loss, claim, cost, expense or damage which would be covered by a standard policy of business interruption insurance. Landlord, or if Landlord is a partnership its partners whether general or limited, or if Landlord is a corporation its directors, officers or shareholders, or if Landlord is a limited liability company its members or managers, shall never be personally liable for any such judgment. Any lien obtained to enforce such judgment and any levy of execution thereon shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage (excluding any Mortgage which was created as part of an effort to defraud creditors, i.e., a fraudulent conveyance); provided, however that any such judgment and any such levy of execution thereon shall not be subject or subordinated to any Mortgage that is created or recorded in the official records of the county in which the Project is located after the date of the judgment giving rise to such lien. Landlord’s interest in the Buildings shall include any insurance proceeds received by Landlord which are not controlled by any Mortgagee or other lender. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any Laws granting it (A) the right to perform Landlord’s obligations, or (B) the right to terminate this Lease or withhold Rent on account of any Landlord default, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code.
Termination and Remedies (a) In the event that the Purchaser defaults or fails to perform any of the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Agreement, or assigns this Agreement without the Vendor’s consent, the Purchaser’s Deposit (including any portion of the Deposit bonded by the Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement) shall immediately be forfeited to the Vendor. Such forfeiture shall not be deemed to be liquidated damages, and shall not preclude further claims by the Vendor against the Purchaser for any and all remedies available at law and at equity, including but not limited to damages arising from the Purchaser’s breach and/or specific performance.
(b) In the event that the Purchaser defaults or fails to perform any of the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Agreement and the Purchaser’s Deposit (including any portion of the Deposit bonded by the Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement) is forfeited to the Vendor, the Vendor’s damages arising from the Purchaser’s breach shall be deemed to be at least equal to the forfeited Deposit without restricting the right of the Vendor to xxx for additional damages and/or specific performance.
(c) In the event that the Purchaser defaults or fails to perform any of the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Agreement and the Vendor takes steps to enforce the terms and conditions of this Purchase Agreement, or commences or defends any action for the judicial interpretation, enforcement, termination, cancellation or rescission hereof or for damages for the breach hereof, the Vendor, in the event it is successful in such action, shall be entitled to solicitor and client costs on a full indemnity basis.
(d) In the event that the Vendor, in its sole discretion, determines that the Purchaser is behaving in an unreasonable, disruptive or unruly manner either by action or inaction, or that the Vendor cannot meet the expectations of the Purchaser, the Vendor may unilaterally terminate this Purchase Agreement. In the event that the Vendor is unable to perform the scope of work as specified in this Purchase Agreement for reasons beyond the control of the Vendor, the Vendor may terminate this Purchase Agreement. Upon termination of this Purchase Agreement pursuant to this subclause, the Vendor will return all Deposits to the Purchaser, without interest, after deducting any reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the Vendor prior to cancellation, including, but not limited to, taxes, utilities, interest and other carrying costs.
(e) In the event that the Vendor defaults or fails to perform any of the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Agreement, then the Deposit paid by the Purchaser under the terms of this Purchase Agreement, together with any accrued interest thereon, will be paid by the Vendor to the Purchaser and the Purchaser will have no further claim against the Vendor.
Executive Covenants This is an Exhibit A to, and forms a part of, an agreement with the Company relating to employment and post-employment competition (the "Presidents' Council Agreement"). This Exhibit shall not diminish in any way Executive's rights under the terms of such Presidents' Council Agreement, except that Executive's receipt of benefits under this Exhibit is contingent upon Executive's compliance in all material respects with all of the terms and conditions of the Presidents' Council Agreement.
Termination Remedies (a) If all conditions precedent to the obligations of Buyer set forth in Article VII, or of Seller set forth in Article VIII, (such Party that has satisfied its conditions precedent, the “Performing Party”) have been met and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated on or before the Closing Date because of the failure of Buyer or Seller to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or the breach of any representation herein by Buyer or Seller (such party that has not satisfied its conditions precedent, the “Breaching Party”) and the Performing Party has performed all of its material obligations hereunder and has not breached any representation herein, then in such event, the Performing Party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement, in which case (i) if Buyer is the Breaching Party, Seller shall retain the Deposit as liquidated damages on account of Buyer’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or Buyer’s breach of any representation under this Agreement, which remedy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Seller for Buyer’s breaches or (ii) if Seller is the Breaching Party, then Seller shall return the Deposit to Buyer in immediately available funds within three (3) calendar days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of termination. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) the Seller’s actual damages upon the event of such a termination are difficult to ascertain with any certainty, (ii) that the Deposit is a reasonable estimate of such actual damages and (iii) such liquidated damages do not constitute a penalty. Additionally, if Seller is the Breaching Party, in lieu of terminating this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right of specific performance of this Agreement.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, other than as set forth in Section 11.03(a), then Seller shall return the Deposit to Buyer in immediately available funds within three (3) calendar days after the event giving rise to such payment to Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall thereupon have the rights and obligations set forth elsewhere herein.
Events of Default Rights and Remedies Section 7.1 Events of Default Section 7.2 Rights and Remedies Section 7.3 Certain Notices
Landlord’s Remedies Upon occurrence of any default by Tenant under this Lease and (i) if the event of default described in Section 8.1(a) is not cured within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of such default; provided, however, Landlord shall only be obligated to provide such written notice to Tenant once in each Lease Year and thereafter, Tenant shall be in default if it shall fail to pay any Rent or other monetary charge due from Tenant hereunder as and when due and payable; (ii) if the events described in Sections 8.1(b), (d), (f) and (g) are not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of such default; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default under Section 8.1(b) is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall be afforded such additional period of time not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default as shall be reasonable under the circumstance, if and so long as Tenant commenced to cure within the first thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecuted the cure thereof to completion within such additional thirty (30) day period; or (iii) with no additional notice and cure period for events of defaults described in Sections 8.1(c), (e), and (h), the Landlord shall have the option to do and perform any one or more of the following in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy or right permitted it by law or in equity or by this Lease:
(a) Continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent, Additional Rent and other charges when due.

In the event Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall at once have all the rights of reentry upon the Premises available under North Carolina law, without becoming liable for damages, or guilty of trespass.
(c) Terminate Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises and reenter and repossess the Premises by entry, forcible entry or detainer suit or otherwise, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating this Lease, without acceptance of surrender of possession of the Premises, and without becoming liable for damages or guilty of trespass, in which event Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, but only to the extent provided in Section 8.3 hereinbelow (provided that in no event shall Landlord be under any obligation to relet the Premises before Landlord relets or leases any other portion of the Project or any other property under the ownership or control of Landlord) for a period equal to or lesser or greater than the remainder of the Term of the Lease on whatever terms and conditions as Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, deems advisable.

Acceleration and Remedies Upon the acceleration of the obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 thereof, the Obligations and, to the extent provided for under the Rate Management Transactions evidencing the same, the Rate Management Obligations, shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and the Agent may, with the concurrence or at the direction of the Required Secured Parties, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:
5.2.1 Those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, provided that this Section 5.2.1 shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Agent and the Lenders prior to a Default.
5.2.2 Those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank's right of setoff or bankers' lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.
5.2.3 Without notice except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Agent, on behalf of the secured parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If, after the Credit Agreement has terminated by its terms and all of the Obligations have been paid in full, there remain Rate Management Obligations outstanding, the Required Secured Parties may exercise the remedies provided in this Section 5.2 upon the occurrence of any event which would allow or require the termination or acceleration of any Rate Management Obligations pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing any Rate Management Transaction.
Defaults Remedies If Tenant fails to pay the Rent, or any installment thereof, within five (5) days after the same becomes due and payable, or if Tenant violates or fails or neglects to keep and perform any of the covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure or neglect, or if the Premises becomes vacant or deserted, then, and in each and every such event, at the option of Landlord, Tenant's right of possession will thereupon cease and terminate, and to the extent permitted by law Landlord will be entitled to the possession of the Premises and to re-enter the same without demand of Rent or demand of possession and may forthwith proceed to recover possession of the Premises by process of law, ANY NOTICE TO QUIT OR OF INTENTION TO RE-ENTER THE SAME BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY TENANT. In the event of such re-entry by process of law or otherwise, Tenant nevertheless agrees to remain answerable for any and all damage, deficiency or loss of Rent which Landlord may sustain by such re-entry, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs; and in such case, Landlord reserves full power, which is hereby acceded to by Tenant, to relet the Premises for the benefit of Tenant, in liquidation and discharge, in whole or in part, as the case may be, of the liability of Tenant under the terms and provision of this Lease. In addition to the foregoing remedies, Landlord will also have the following remedies to the extent permitted by law and all other remedies afforded to it at law or in equity, all of which shall be cumulative: to terminate this Lease; to declare due and payable all Rent for the unexpired Term as and when the same becomes due and payable or to defer any suit until after the Term without thereby prejudicing its rights; to accelerate the Rent for the remainder of the Term and declare it all immediately due and payable [with a present value discount two (2) whole percentage points below the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date Landlord elects said remedy]; and to bring an action for specific performance, injunction, or other equitable relief to prevent any threatened or impending default or to end any existing default. In addition, Landlord may perform any obligation which Tenant has failed to perform after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period (except in an emergency, when no notice or cure period will be necessary or afforded), all at the cost of Tenant as Additional Rent payable upon demand. Tenant shall also pay all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord following a default, whether or not suit is instituted; the same shall be Additional Rent payable upon demand. In determining the Rent due for the balance of the Term, all Additional Rent shall be determined by projecting into the future the Additional Rent payable on the date of default increasing by a compounding five percent (5%) per Lease Year. No waiver of any breach of any covenant, condition, or agreement herein contained shall operate as a waiver of the covenant, condition or agreement itself, or of any subsequent breach thereof. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by Landlord. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. Landlord shall have a lien for the payment of the Rent upon all of the goods, wares, chattels, fixtures, furniture and other personal property of Tenant which may be in or upon the Premises, Tenant hereby specifically waiving any and all exemptions allowed by law; such lien may be enforced on the nonpayment of any installment of Rent by the taking and selling of such property in the same manner as in the case of chattel mortgages on default thereunder; said sale is to made upon ten (10) days notice served upon Tenant by posting upon the Premises or such lien may be enforced in any other lawful manner at the option of Landlord.
Events of Default Remedies If any of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) shall have occurred and be continuing for any reason whatsoever (whether voluntary or involuntary, arising or effected by operation of law or otherwise):
(a) any payment of principal of the Loans or the Note shall not be paid when and as due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note;
(b) any payment of interest on the Loans or the Note shall not be paid when and as due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note, and such default is not cured within two days;
(c) the Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any other term, covenant or agreement contained herein, and such default shall continue without cure for a period of 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Lender, or any representation or warranty contained herein or therein shall at any time prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made; or
(d) a case or proceeding shall be commenced against the Borrower, or the Borrower shall commence a voluntary case, in either case seeking relief under any Bankruptcy Law, in each case as now or hereafter in effect, or the Borrower shall apply for, consent to, or fail to contest, the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, custodian, trustee or the like of the Borrower or for all or any part of its property, or the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or the Borrower shall fail, or admit in writing its inability, to pay, or generally not be paying, its debts as they become due; then during the continuance of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default specified in clause (d) above), the Lender may by written notice to the Borrower declare, in whole or from time to time in part, the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and the Note and all other amounts owing hereunder to be, and the Loans and the Note and such other amounts shall thereupon and to that extent become, due and payable to the Lender. During the continuance of any Event of Default specified in clause (d) above, automatically and without any notice to the Borrower, the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and the Note and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be due and payable to the Lender and the Commitment shall terminate.
