ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT
CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of GEXA Common Stock or capital stock of Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Sub Common Stock”), of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time.

(b) Exchange Ratio for GEXA Common Stock. Each share of GEXA Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2, be converted by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof into and exchangeable for the right to receive a number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “FPL Group Common Stock”), of FPL Group equal to the quotient (rounded to four decimal points) (the “Exchange Ratio”) obtained by dividing the GEXA Per Share Value by the Average Closing Date FPL Group Stock Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of GEXA Common Stock or FPL Group Common Stock are changed (in the case of GEXA, subject to the requirements of Section 4.2(a)) into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the provisions of this Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.3, below, shall be appropriately adjusted.

(c) Cancellation of Treasury Stock. Each outstanding share of GEXA Common Stock held by GEXA as treasury stock shall be canceled, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, FPL Group shall deposit with Computershare Investor Services, LLC or such bank or trust company or other transfer agent designated by FPL Group (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of GEXA Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of FPL Group Common Stock (such shares of FPL Group Common Stock and an estimated amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as (the “Exchange Fund”) issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for outstanding shares of GEXA Common Stock.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, FPL Group shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of GEXA Common Stock (the “Certificates”) whose shares were converted into the right to receive shares of FPL Group Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as are usual and customary as FPL Group may reasonably specify); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of FPL Group Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by FPL Group, together with such letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be required by the Exchange Agent, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of FPL Group Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional share of FPL Group Common Stock, plus any dividends, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of GEXA Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of GEXA, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of FPL Group Common Stock may be issued to a transferee, if the Certificate representing such GEXA Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing shares of FPL Group Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of FPL Group Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.2(e). Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of FPL Group Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (x) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of FPL Group Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e); (y) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of FPL Group Common Stock and (z) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of FPL Group Common Stock. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, shares of FPL Group Common Stock may be issued and delivered by direct registration and transaction advices for shares issued without certificates.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to FPL Group Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of FPL Group Common Stock represented thereby and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(e) until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in GEXA Common Stock. All shares of FPL Group Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of GEXA Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or 2.2(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of GEXA Common Stock and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of GEXA Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of FPL Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of FPL Group. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of GEXA Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of FPL Group Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall be entitled to receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the Average Closing Date FPL Group Stock Price.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the stockholders, option holders or warrant holders of GEXA for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall, upon demand, be delivered to FPL Group, and any stockholders of GEXA who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to FPL Group for payment of their claim for FPL Group Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends or distributions with respect to FPL Group Common Stock.

(g) No Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, neither FPL Group nor GEXA shall be liable to any holder of shares of GEXA Common Stock or FPL Group Common Stock, as the case may be, for such shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash in lieu of fractional shares delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(h) Withholding Rights. FPL Group or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of GEXA Common Stock, such amounts as FPL Group or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by FPL Group or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of GEXA Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by FPL Group or the Exchange Agent.

(i) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by FPL Group or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as FPL Group or the Surviving Corporation may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it

with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall exchange, in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the shares of FPL Group Common Stock.

2.3 Stock Options and Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of GEXA Common Stock that is listed in Section 2.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (a “Stock Option”) and each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of GEXA Common Stock that is listed in Section 2.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (a “Warrant”), in each case, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by FPL Group. At the Effective Time, each Stock Option and Warrant shall be deemed, without further action on the part of FPL Group or the holders of such Stock Options or Warrants, to constitute an option or warrant, as applicable, to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Stock Option or Warrant (except to the extent that such terms and conditions may be altered in accordance with their terms as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby including accelerated vesting of Stock Options and Warrants which shall occur by virtue of consummation of the Merger to the extent required with respect to the Stock Options and Warrants set forth in Section 3.1(c) of the GEXA Disclosure Schedule), shares of FPL Group Common Stock in such amount and at the exercise price provided below:

(i) the number of shares of FPL Group Common Stock to be subject to the Stock Option or Warrant shall be equal to the product (rounded to four decimal points) of (x) the number of shares of GEXA Common Stock subject to the Stock Option or Warrant and (y) the Exchange Ratio;

(ii) the exercise price per share of each Stock Option or Warrant shall be an amount (rounded to the nearest $0.01) equal to (x) the exercise price per share of GEXA Common Stock subject to such Stock Option or Warrant divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio; and

(iii) in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Agreements under which the Stock Options were issued or the Warrant Agreements under which the Warrants were issued, fractional shares of any assumed Stock Options or Warrants resulting from the adjustments set forth in this Section 2.3(a) shall be eliminated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of all Stock Options, the exercise price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such Stock Option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such Stock Option shall be effected in a manner consistent with the requirements of sections 424(a) and (h) of the Code.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, FPL Group shall deliver to the holders of Stock Options and Warrants appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the respective Stock Option Agreements and Warrant Agreements and that such Stock Options and Warrants and the related Stock Option Agreements and Warrant Agreements shall be assumed by FPL Group and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.3 after giving effect to the Merger). To the extent required by the terms of any Stock Option Agreement or Warrant Agreement, GEXA shall provide in a timely fashion to the holders thereof any notice required as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) FPL Group shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of FPL Group Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Stock Options and Warrants assumed in accordance with this Section 2.3. No later than the Effective Time, FPL Group shall prepare and file a registration statement or registration statements on the appropriate form or forms with respect to the shares of FPL Group Common Stock subject to such Stock Options and Warrants (including an amendment to any of FPL Group’s then existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options and warrants remain outstanding and cause such shares to be listed on NYSE (or such other exchange on which the FPL Group Common Stock is listed) upon issuance.

Each of GEXA, FPL Group, Holdings and Sub will take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on itself with respect to the Merger (including furnishing all information required under the HSR Act and in connection with approvals of or filings with any other Governmental Entity) and will promptly cooperate with and furnish information to each other in connection with any such requirements imposed upon any of them or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger.

GEXA will use all reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval as soon as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective (but no later than twenty five (25) Business Days thereafter). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, GEXA agrees that its obligations pursuant to the first two sentences of this Section 4.2(b) shall not be affected by (i) the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to Holdings or FPL Group of any Transaction Proposal or (ii) the withdrawal or modification by the Board of Directors of GEXA of its approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(c), the Board of Directors of GEXA shall recommend that GEXA’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement (the “Recommendation”) and the Board of Directors of GEXA shall not withdraw, condition or modify or propose to withdraw, condition or modify in a manner adverse to FPL Group, the Recommendation except as provided in Section 4.2(c). GEXA shall use all reasonable efforts to solicit from stockholders of GEXA proxies in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement and to secure the vote or the consent of the stockholders required by the TBCA to approve and adopt this Agreement.

(i) Neither GEXA nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall it or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of their respective Agents to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage (including by way of furnishing information or assistance) or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiry or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, a Transaction Proposal or agree to or endorse or recommend any Transaction Proposal or (ii) propose, enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any of the foregoing, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to its business, properties or assets or any of the foregoing, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any Transaction Proposal; provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not prohibit GEXA from, prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting, (A) furnishing information pursuant to an appropriate confidentiality letter concerning GEXA and its businesses, properties or assets to a third party which has made an unsolicited Qualified Transaction Proposal, (B) engaging in discussions or negotiations with such a third party which has made an unsolicited Qualified Transaction Proposal (as defined below) or (C) following receipt of an unsolicited Qualified Transaction Proposal, taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position with respect to such Qualified Transaction Proposal, but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) only after the Board of Directors of GEXA determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel), that there is a substantial likelihood that the failure to take such action would be a breach of GEXA’s Board of Directors fiduciary obligations to GEXA’s stockholders under applicable Law and that the third party which made the unsolicited Qualified Transaction Proposal has the ability and the financial wherewithal to consummate a Superior Acquisition Proposal (as defined below). If the Board of Directors of GEXA receives a Transaction Proposal, then GEXA shall immediately (and in any event within 24 hours) inform FPL Group and Holdings of the material terms and conditions of such proposal and the identity of the Person making it and shall keep FPL Group fully informed regarding any significant details or developments with respect to any such Transaction Proposal and of all significant steps it is taking in response to such Transaction Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, the term (“Qualified Transaction Proposal”) shall mean a Transaction Proposal that the Board of Directors of GEXA determines in good faith after consultation with its outside financial advisors, is reasonably capable of being financed or is not subject to any material contingencies relating to financing. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.2(c) by (or at the direction of) an officer, director of or any investment banker, attorney, accountant, Agent or other advisor or representative of GEXA or any of GEXA’s Subsidiaries, whether or not such person is purporting to act on behalf of GEXA, a GEXA Subsidiary or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this paragraph by GEXA. GEXA immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Qualified Transaction Proposal.

(ii) Except as permitted by this Section, neither the Board of Directors of GEXA nor any committee thereof shall: (A) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to the FPL Parties, the Recommendation or

any approval or recommendation by the Board of Directors of GEXA or any committee thereof of this Agreement or the Merger; (B) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, to GEXA’s stockholders, any Qualified Transaction Proposal or; (C) cause GEXA or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an agreement with respect to any Qualified Transaction Proposal, unless the Board of Directors of GEXA reasonably determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside financial advisors) that (x) such Qualified Transaction Proposal is a Superior Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) and (y) (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that there is a substantial likelihood that the failure to take such action would be a breach of the Board of Directors of GEXA fiduciary obligations to GEXA stockholders under applicable Law.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Board of Directors of GEXA determines, in its good faith judgment, that a Qualified Transaction Proposal is a Superior Acquisition Proposal, the Board of Directors of GEXA may terminate this Agreement (subject to the Company’s obligations under Section 8.5); provided, that: (A) GEXA provides at least five (5) business days prior written notice to FPL Group of its intention to terminate this Agreement; (B) during such five (5) business day period (or longer period if extended by GEXA and FPL Group, (the “Negotiation Period”)), GEXA agrees to negotiate in good faith with FPL Group regarding such changes as FPL Group may propose to the terms of this Agreement, with the intent of enabling GEXA to agree to a modification of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated; and (C) after expiration of the Negotiation Period, the Qualified Transaction Proposal remains a Superior Acquisition Proposal (taking into account any modifications to the terms thereof proposed by FPL Group) and the Board of Directors of GEXA confirms its determination (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its outside financial advisor) that it is a Superior Acquisition Proposal. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors of GEXA from complying with Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act with regard to a Transaction Proposal, or from making other disclosures to the GEXA stockholders required under applicable Law; provided, however, that any such response shall comply with the other requirements of this Section 4.2(c).

(iv) For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide, written Qualified Transaction Proposal made by a third party to acquire GEXA pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, a merger, a share exchange, a sale of all or substantially all of its assets (together with the assumption of all or substantially all of its liabilities) or otherwise, not solicited in violation of this Section 4.2(c) that is on terms that the Board of Directors of GEXA reasonably determine in good faith (after consulting with its outside financial advisors) would (A) result in a transaction that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, by at least $3,500,000 (which amount is inclusive of the termination fee set forth in Section 8.5(b)) to the GEXA stockholders than the transactions contemplated hereby if such Qualified Transaction Proposal were to be consummated, (B) has a substantial likelihood of being consummated and (C) for which financing, to the extent required, is then fully committed or which, in the good faith judgment of such members (after consultation with outside financial advisors) is reasonably capable of being financed by such third party.

(d) Affiliates. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, GEXA is delivering to FPL Group a letter identifying all Persons who, to the knowledge of GEXA, may be deemed to be “affiliates” of GEXA under Rule 145 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, all directors and executive officers of GEXA. GEXA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to FPL Group within 30 days prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting (and in any case prior to the Effective Time) copies of letter agreements, each in the form prepared by FPL Group and reasonably acceptable to GEXA, executed by each such Person so identified as an “affiliate” of GEXA (the letters described in this Subsection (d) being collectively referred to as “Affiliate Letters”).

(e) Access to Information. Subject to Section 4.1(a), upon reasonable notice, GEXA shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to Holdings and its Agents, access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Closing Date, to all its properties, books, records, Contracts, commitments, and financial information and statements and, during such period, GEXA shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Holdings: (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by any of them during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws; and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Holdings may reasonably request. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the FPL Parties shall have the right to have an individual present at the principal offices of GEXA during normal business hours from the date hereof through the Closing Date, and such person shall have the right to observe all business operations and to observe meetings and discussions; provided, that GEXA shall be permitted to excuse such individuals in situations where the GEXA Board of Directors determines in good faith that such action is required to preserve its attorney client privilege.

(f) Audited Financial Statements. Within 24 hours after their issuance, GEXA shall provide to the FPL Parties copies of the GEXA Audited Financial Statements accompanied by the opinion of the auditor thereon.

(g) Balance Sheet; Working Capital Calculation. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date, GEXA shall deliver the following: (i) a consolidated balance sheet of GEXA and its Subsidiaries as of the most recent month end (which balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP on a basis consistent with that utilized in the preparation of the consolidated balance sheet of GEXA and its Subsidiaries contained in the GEXA Audited Financial Statements), provided that such month end shall not have occurred any earlier than 60 days prior to the Closing Date, but in no event prior to May 31, 2005 (provided that the May 31, 2005 Financial Statements shall be available no later than June 30, 2005) (the “Closing Balance Sheet”); (ii) a statement of the amount of Working Capital as determined from, and as of the date of, the Closing Balance Sheet showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail (the “Working Capital Statement”); in each case subject to verification and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) by Holdings and (iii) a certificate of the chief financial officer of GEXA certifying the accuracy of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Working Capital Statement (the “CFO Certificate”).

4.3 Listing. FPL Group shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of FPL Group Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

4.4 Retail Electric Provider License. Within five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, GEXA shall file with the PUC an amendment application with respect to its Texas retail electric provider license to reflect the change of ownership that would result from the Merger. If required by the PUC, GEXA shall file an application for recertification as a retail electric provider within five (5) Business Days after being notified of such requirement.

Subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law, the provisions with respect to indemnification set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the conversion of the Surviving Corporation into a limited liability company if the limited liability company agreement and/or articles of organization contain provisions with respect to indemnification that are substantially similar to those set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”), Holdings shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, a “tail” policy (the “Tail Policy”) based on the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by GEXA as of the date of this Agreement, a true and correct copy of which has previously been provided to the FPL Parties (the “Existing Policy”); provided, however, that (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Tail Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay, for the Tail Period, an aggregate premium for the Tail Policy (or for any substitute policies) in excess of two hundred percent (200%) of the premium for the Existing Policy. In the event any future premium for the Tail Policy (or any substitute policies) exceeds two hundred percent (200%) of the premium for the Existing Policy, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Tail Policy (or any substitute policies) to the greatest amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the premium for the Existing Policy.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.3 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and his or her heirs, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Holdings and the Surviving Corporation, but shall not be binding upon or create any obligation on the part of FPL Group or any of its Affiliates other than Holdings and the Surviving Corporation.

5.4 Tax Matters. At or prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, GEXA and Holdings will execute and deliver to Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, L.L.P. (“PH”), counsel to GEXA, and XxXxxxxxx Will & Xxxxx LLP. (“MWE”), counsel to the FPL Parties, tax representation letters in customary form to enable PH and MWE to deliver the tax opinions described in Sections 6.3(d) and 6.2(j), respectively. FPL Group, Holdings, Sub and GEXA shall each confirm to PH

and MWE the accuracy and completeness as of the Effective Time of the tax representation letters delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and none shall take or cause to be taken any action which would cause to be untrue any of the provided tax representations. GEXA and the FPL Parties intend that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the parties will take the position for all Tax purposes that the Merger so qualifies unless a contrary position is required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. GEXA and the FPL Parties shall each use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and shall not take actions, or cause actions to be taken, or fail to take actions that are reasonably likely to prevent such result. Following delivery of the tax representation letters pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.4, GEXA and the FPL Parties will use their reasonable efforts to cause PH and MWE, respectively, to deliver to them, tax opinions satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. In rendering such opinions, such counsel shall be entitled to rely on reasonable assumptions and the tax representation letters referred to in this Section 5.4.

5.5 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary and subject to Section 8.11, FPL Group’s maximum liability from any cause whatsoever arising under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it expressly joins as a party or is bound shall not exceed forty million dollars ($40,000,000), irrespective of the cause thereof, whether arising from FPL Group’s or any of its Affiliates’ (or FPL Group’s or any of its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives) willful misconduct, gross negligence, or negligence and whether arising in contract, tort (including willful misconduct, negligence, gross negligence and strict liability), breach of warranty, or any other theory of law.
