7.3 IDR Fee 
NEE Operating LP, on behalf of the Service Recipients, hereby agrees to pay to the Manager or its permitted transferees, until the dissolution of NEE Operating LP in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the IDR Fee as computed under Section 7.4. Any IDR Fee will be paid quarterly concurrently with the payment of distributions by NEE Operating LP to holders of its Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement or promptly thereafter. 
 
7.4 Computation and Payment of IDR Fee Amounts 
7.4.1 For each Quarter in which NEE Operating LP has Adjusted Available Cash equal to or greater than the Base Incentive Amount, the IDR Fee in respect of such Quarter shall be paid based on the hypothetical distributions of Adjusted Available Cash by NEE Operating LP to holders of its Common Units as set forth below: 
7.4.1.1 First, NEE Operating LP will pay $14,039,546.64 of such Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to holders of its Common Units until the aggregate amount so paid and deemed to be distributed pursuant to this Section  7.4.1.1 with respect to such Quarter is equal to the Base Incentive Amount; 
7.4.1.2 Second, NEE Operating LP will pay twenty-five percent (25%) of any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager. 
7.4.2 For each Quarter in which NEE Operating LP has Adjusted Available Cash less than the Base Incentive Amount, the IDR Fee in respect of such Quarter shall be paid based on hypothetical 

15

distributions of Adjusted Available Cash by NEE Operating LP to holders of its Common Units as set forth below; provided that the payment of the IDR Fee and the hypothetical distributions to holders of its Common Units set forth below shall be calculated on the basis of the Base Unit Amount: 
7.4.2.1 First, NEE Operating LP will pay fifteen percent (15%) of any Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute eighty-five percent (85%) to holders of its Common Units until the aggregate amount so paid and deemed to be distributed pursuant to this Section 7.4.2.1 with respect to such Quarter is equal to the First Incentive Tier Amount; 
7.4.2.2 Second, NEE Operating LP will pay twenty-five percent (25%) of any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute seventy-five percent (75%) to holders of its Common Units until the aggregate amount so paid and deemed to be distributed pursuant to this Section 7.4.2.2 with respect to such Quarter is equal to the Second Incentive Tier Amount; and 
7.4.2.3 Third, NEE Operating LP will pay fifty percent (50%) of any remaining Adjusted Available Cash to the Manager and will be deemed to distribute fifty percent (50%) to holders of its Common Units; 
provided that, in each case, the IDR Fee for such quarter shall be paid as contemplated by this Section 7.4.2 until (x) the aggregate deemed per Common Unit distribution to holders of its Common Units pursuant to this Section 7.4.2 equals (y) the per Common Unit distribution declared by NEE Operating LP to holders of its Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement for the applicable Quarter; provided further that the aggregate IDR Fee payable for such quarter pursuant to this Section 7.4.2 shall in no event exceed $14,039,546.64. 
7.4.3 If the Minimum Quarterly Distribution is adjusted in accordance with Section 6.6 of the Partnership Agreement, the Base Target Quarterly Distribution, the First Target Quarterly Distribution, the Second Target Quarterly Distribution and the Third Target Quarterly Distribution will each be adjusted correspondingly in the same proportion as the amount by which the Minimum Quarterly Distribution is so adjusted relative to the Minimum Quarterly Distribution prior to such adjustment. 
7.4.4 If the Minimum Quarterly Distribution has been reduced to zero pursuant to Section 6.6 of the Partnership Agreement and the Base Target Quarterly Distribution, the First Target Quarterly Distribution, the Second Target Quarterly Distribution and the Third Target Quarterly Distribution have also been reduced to zero pursuant to Section 7.4.3, the IDR Fee will be payable solely in accordance with Section 7.4.2.3 in respect of Adjusted Available Cash that is deemed to be Operating Surplus under the Partnership Agreement. For the purposes of any IDR Fee payable pursuant to this Section 7.4.4 and in accordance with Section 7.4.2.3 as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the final two provisos of Section 7.4.2 shall not apply to the calculation of such IDR Fee. 
 
7.4.5 Upon the dissolution of NEE Operating LP in accordance with Article XII of the Partnership Agreement, to the extent that NEE Operating LP receives cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 12.4 of the Partnership Agreement, NEE Operating LP will not pay the IDR Fee to the Manager on any such excess.

ARTICLE 11 
GENERAL PROVISIONS 
11.1 Amendment 
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment of, supplement to or waiver of this Agreement will be binding unless the amendment, supplement or waiver is executed in writing by each party to be bound thereby, provided, however, that NEE Operating LP may not, without the prior approval of the Conflicts Committee, agree to any amendment of, supplement to or waiver of this Agreement that, in the determination of the board of directors of NEE Partners, would be materially adverse to the holders of NEE Partners Common Units. 

24

11.2 Waiver 
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right. 
11.3 Assignment 
11.3.1 This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Manager without the prior written consent of the board of directors of NEE Partners (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), except (a) pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, (b) in the case of assignment to a Person that is the Manager’s successor by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or other similar transaction, in which case the successor shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as the Manager is bound under this Agreement, or (c) to an Affiliate of the Manager or a Person that, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the board of directors of NEE Partners and the Conflicts Committee, is an experienced and reputable manager, in which case the Affiliate or assignee shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as the Manager is bound under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude (i) any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer or assignment of the Manager’s rights, title and interest under this Agreement, including any amounts payable to the Manager under this Agreement, to a bona fide Financing Party as security for debt financing to the Manager or any other member of the Manager Group, or (ii) the assignment of such rights, title and interest under this Agreement upon exercise of remedies by a Financing Party following a default by the Manager or any other member of the Manager Group under financing agreements entered into with the Financing Parties. 
11.3.2 This Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the Service Recipients without the prior written consent of the Manager, except in the case of assignment by any such Service Recipient to a Person that is its successor by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, in which case the successor shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as such Service Recipient is bound under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude (i) any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer or assignment of any NEP Party’s rights, title and interest under this Agreement, including any amounts payable to such NEP Party or any other member of the NEP Group under this Agreement, to a bona fide Financing Party as security for debt financing to such NEP Party or any other member of the NEP Group, or (ii) the assignment of such rights, title and interest under this Agreement upon exercise of remedies by a Financing Party following a default by such NEP Party or any other member of the NEP Group under financing agreements entered into with the Financing Parties. 
11.3.3 Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 11.3.1 and Section 11.3.2, the Manager may assign its right to receive the IDR Fee hereunder, in whole or in part, to any person without the consent of any other party hereto. 
 
11.3.4 Any purported assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Article 11 shall be null and void. 

25

11.4 Failure to Pay When Due 
Any amount payable by any NEP Party to any member of the Manager Group hereunder that is not remitted when so due will remain due (whether on demand or otherwise), and interest will accrue on such overdue amounts (both before and after judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate. 
11.5 Invalidity of Provisions 
Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The parties will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision that is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable provision that it replaces. 
11.6 Entire Agreement 
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no warranties, conditions, or representations (including any that may be implied by statute), and there are no agreements in connection with such subject matter, except as specifically set forth or referred to in this Agreement. No reliance is placed on any warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact made prior to, contemporaneously with, or after entering into, this Agreement by any party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, to any other party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, except to the extent that the same has been reduced to writing and included as a term of this Agreement, and none of the parties to this Agreement has been induced to enter into this Agreement by reason of any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact. Accordingly, there will be no liability, either in tort or in contract, assessed in relation to any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact, except to the extent contemplated above. 
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement should be construed or interpreted as an amendment, modification or termination of, or conflict with, any of the Operating and Administrative Agreements. Each such agreement, and all its terms, including payments to be made thereunder, shall survive the entry into this Agreement and shall terminate in accordance with its terms. 

26

11.7 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR DOCUMENT BY U.S. REGISTERED MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SET FORTH BELOW SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS TO WHICH IT HAS SUBMITTED TO JURISDICTION IN THIS PARAGRAPH. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE, AND HEREBY AND THEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
11.9 Governing Law

Section  2.1    Notice of Transaction Related to NEE Operating LP ROFR Assets and Initial Negotiation of Definitive Terms for Transaction.    Prior to engaging in any negotiation with a Third Party regarding any proposed Sale of any NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset (or any portion thereof), NEE Operating LP must deliver to NEER a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of the proposed transaction (such notice, a “Transaction Notice”) and for the next 30 days (the “Negotiation Period”) engage in non-binding discussions and negotiations in good faith with NEER to attempt to agree on definitive terms acceptable to both Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion, for the Sale of the applicable NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset to NEER or any of its Subsidiaries. If, by the end of the Negotiation Period, the Parties have not agreed to definitive terms for the Sale of such NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset to NEER, NEE Operating LP will have the right, within 30 days following such Negotiation Period (the “Third Party Negotiation Period”), to engage in non-binding discussions and negotiations in good faith with a Third Party with respect to a Sale of such NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset to such Third Party in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2. 

Section  2.2    Negotiations with Third Parties. Neither NEE Operating LP nor any of its representatives, agents or Affiliates (other than NEER and its Subsidiaries, which Subsidiaries shall not include any NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset prior to the acquisition thereof by NEER or any of its Subsidiaries) shall solicit offers from, or negotiate or enter into any agreement with, any Third Party for the Sale of any NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset (or any portion thereof) until the expiration of the Negotiation Period related to such NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset and the applicable proposed Sale.

Section  2.3    Final Negotiation with NEER. On or prior to the end of the Third Party Negotiation Period, NEE Operating LP shall promptly deliver to NEER a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of any Third Party Offer (the “Proposed Sale Terms”) and for the next 30 days (the “Final Negotiation Period”) recommence and engage in non-binding discussions and negotiations in good faith with NEER to attempt to agree on definitive terms acceptable to both Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion, for the Sale of the applicable NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset to NEER or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that if NEER agrees to terms substantially consistent with the Proposed Sale Terms (a “NEER Acceptance”), NEE Operating LP may no longer sell the applicable NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset to the Third Party that made such Third Party Offer. If, by the end of the Final Negotiation Period, the Parties have not agreed to definitive terms for the Sale of such NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset to NEER and no NEER Acceptance has occurred, NEE Operating LP will have the right, within 30 days following such Final Negotiation Period (the “Third Party Final Sale Period”), to consummate a Sale of such NEE Operating LP ROFR Asset to such Third Party (or agree in writing to undertake such Sale to such Third Party) in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4.
