Company’s Mortgage and Deed of Trust,
Dated as of January 1, 1944.
One Hundred Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture
Relating to $1,100,000,000 Principal Amount
of First Mortgage Bonds, 2.85% Series
due April 1, 2025
of First Mortgage Bonds, 2.85% Series
due April 1, 2025
Dated as of March 1, 2020
This Supplemental Indenture has been executed in several counterparts, all of which constitute but one and the same instrument. This Supplemental Indenture has been recorded in several counties and documentary stamp taxes as required by law in the amount of $3,850,000 and non-recurring intangible taxes as required by law in the amount of $122,169.21 are being paid on the Supplemental Indenture being recorded in the public records of Palm Beach County, Florida.
Note to Examiner: The new bonds being issued in connection with this Supplemental Indenture (“New Bonds”) are secured by real property and personal property located both within Florida and outside of Florida. The aggregate fair market value of the collateral exceeds the aggregate principal amount of (y) the New Bonds plus (z) the other outstanding bonds secured by the mortgage supplemented hereby and all previous supplemental indentures thereto. The intangible tax has been computed pursuant to Section 199.133(2), Florida Statutes, by (i) determining the percentage of the aggregate fair market value of the collateral constituting real property situated in Florida and by multiplying that percentage times the principal amount of the New Bonds (the result hereinafter defined as the “Tax Base”) and (ii) multiplying the tax rate times the Tax Base.

FPL further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its successors in said trust under the Mortgage, as follows:
ARTICLE I
One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series of Bonds
One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series of Bonds
Section 1. (I) There shall be a series of bonds designated “2.85% Series due April 1, 2025”, herein sometimes referred to as the “One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series”, each of which shall also bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof, which shall be established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of FPL, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified. Bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series shall mature on April 1, 2025 and shall be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of Two Thousand Dollars and, at the option of FPL, in integral multiples of One Thousand Dollars in excess thereof (the exercise of such option to be evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof); they shall bear interest at the rate of 2.85% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing on October 1, 2020; the principal of and interest on each said bond to be payable at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. Bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-
- 4 -
Seventh Series shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided. The record date for payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date shall be the close of business on (1) the Business Day (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date so long as all of the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series are held by a securities depository in book‑entry only form or (2) the 15th calendar day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date if any of the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series are not held by a securities depository in book‑entry only form. Interest on the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series will accrue from and including March 27, 2020 to but excluding October 1, 2020 and, thereafter, from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (and if no interest has been paid on the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series, from March 27, 2020) to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. No interest will accrue on a bond of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series for the day on which such bond matures. The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360‑day year consisting of twelve 30‑day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full semi‑annual period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of the number of days in the period using 30‑day calendar months. If any date on which interest, principal or premium, if any, is payable on the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest, principal or premium payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day, and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay. A “Business Day” is any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in New York City are generally authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.
(II) Bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series shall be redeemable either at the option of FPL or pursuant to the requirements of the Mortgage (including, among other requirements, the application of cash delivered to or deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 64 of the Mortgage or with proceeds of Released Property) in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity of the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series, upon notice as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage (the “Redemption Notice”), mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), at the applicable price (each a “Redemption Price”) described below. If FPL redeems all or any part of the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series at any time prior to March 1, 2025 (the “Par Call Date”), the Redemption Price will equal the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date, plus (iii) a premium, if any (the “Make‑Whole Premium”). In no event will the Redemption Price be less than 100% of the principal amount of the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date.
The amount of the Make‑Whole Premium with respect to any bond of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series (or portion thereof) to be redeemed will be equal to the excess, if any, of:
(1) | the sum of the present values, calculated as of the Redemption Date, of: |
a. | each interest payment that, but for such redemption, would have been payable on the bond of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series (or portion thereof) |
- 5 -
being redeemed on each Interest Payment Date occurring after the Redemption Date that would be payable if such bond of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series (or portion thereof) matured on the Par Call Date (excluding any interest accruing (i) from and including the last Interest Payment Date preceding the Redemption Date as of which all then-accrued interest was paid (ii) to but excluding the Redemption Date); and
b. | the principal amount that, but for such redemption, would have been payable at the final maturity of the bond of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series (or portion thereof) being redeemed; over |
(2) | the principal amount of the bond of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series (or portion thereof) being redeemed. |
The present values of interest and principal payments referred to in clause (1) above will be determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial analysis. Such present values will be calculated by discounting the amount of each payment of interest or principal from the date that each such payment would have been payable, but for the redemption, to but excluding the Redemption Date at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield (as defined below) plus 40 basis points.
If FPL redeems all or any part of the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will be 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date.
FPL will appoint an independent investment banking institution of national standing to calculate the Make‑Whole Premium when and as applicable; provided that if FPL fails to make such appointment at least thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date, or if the institution so appointed is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, such calculation will be made by Mizuho Securities USA LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. or Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, or if such firms are unwilling or unable to make such calculation, by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee in consultation with, and at the expense of, FPL (in any such case, an “Independent Investment Banker”).
For purposes of determining the Make‑Whole Premium, “Treasury Yield” means a rate of interest per annum equal to the weekly average yield to maturity of United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity that corresponds to the remaining term to maturity of the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that the bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series mature on the Par Call Date), in each case calculated to the nearest 1/12th of a year (the “Remaining Term”). The Independent Investment Banker will determine the Treasury Yield as of the third Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Redemption Date.
The Independent Investment Banker will determine the weekly average yields of United States Treasury Notes by reference to the most recent statistical release published by the Federal
- 6 -
Reserve Bank of New York and designated “H.15(519) Selected Interest Rates” or any successor release (the “H.15 Statistical Release”). If the H.15 Statistical Release sets forth a weekly average yield for United States Treasury Notes having a constant maturity that is the same as the Remaining Term, then the Treasury Yield will be equal to such weekly average yield. In all other cases, the Independent Investment Banker will calculate the Treasury Yield by interpolation, on a straight-line basis, between the weekly average yields on the United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Term and the United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Term (in each case as set forth in the H.15 Statistical Release). The Independent Investment Banker will round any weekly average yields so calculated to the nearest 1/100th of 1%, and will round upward any figure of 1/200th of 1% or above. If weekly average yields for United States Treasury Notes are not available in the H.15 Statistical Release or otherwise, then the Independent Investment Banker will select comparable rates and calculate the Treasury Yield by reference to those rates.
(III) At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series, upon surrender thereof for exchange at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, together with a written instrument of transfer wherever required by FPL, duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, shall (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.
Bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series shall be transferable (subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Mortgage) at the office or agency of FPL in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series, FPL may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but FPL hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series.
ARTICLE II
Consent to Amendments of the Mortgage
Section 2. Each initial and future holder of bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series, by its acquisition of an interest in such bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article II of the One Hundred Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 15, 2018, without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.

Section 4. The holders of bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series consent that FPL may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of bonds of the One Hundred Twenty-Seventh Series entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, those persons who were holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than ninety (90) days after such record date.
Section 5. The Trustee hereby accepts the trust herein declared, provided, created or supplemented and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein and in the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, set forth and upon the following terms and conditions:
The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this One Hundred Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made by FPL solely.

Section 6. Whenever in this One Hundred Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture either of the parties hereto is named or referred to, this shall, subject to the provisions of Articles XVI and XVII of the Mortgage, as heretofore amended, be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all the covenants and agreements in this One Hundred Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of FPL, or by or on behalf of the Trustee, or either of them, shall, subject as aforesaid, bind and inure to the respective benefits of the respective successors and assigns of such parties, whether so expressed or not.
Section 7. Nothing in this One Hundred Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture, expressed or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or to give to, any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the bonds and coupons Outstanding under the Mortgage, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this One Hundred Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof, and all the covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements in this One Hundred Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of FPL shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, and of the holders of the bonds and coupons Outstanding under the Mortgage.
- 8 -
Section 8. The Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented and amended and as supplemented hereby, is intended by the parties hereto, as to properties now or hereafter encumbered thereby and located within the States of Florida and Georgia, to operate and is to be construed as granting a lien only on such properties and not as a deed passing title thereto.
Section 9. This One Hundred Thirty-First Supplemental Indenture shall be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, FPL has caused its corporate name to be hereunto affixed, and this instrument to be signed and sealed by its President or one of its Vice Presidents, and its corporate seal to be attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries for and in its behalf, and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS has caused its corporate name to be hereunto affixed, and this instrument to be signed and sealed by one or more of its Vice Presidents or Assistant Vice Presidents, and its corporate seal to be attested by one of its Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice Presidents, one of its Assistant Secretaries or one of its Associates, all as of the day and year first above written.
