energy from St. Lucie Unit No. 2 for rights to receive power and energy from St. Lucie Unit No. 1.

dated December 11, 1980.

rights to such ownership share as provided in Section 5, such rights as provided herein shall not be transferred to any such assignee of Gainesville unless Gainesville has exercised its option pursuant to i subsection (a) above and Gainesville has provided written authorization to FPL to execute such 'a Nuclear Reliability Exchange Agreement with l .

Gainesville's assignee.

(

to R4PA or to any other utility to which Gainesville has assigned the right to participate in the 2.09359% ownership share made available to l

Gainesville.by FPL or any portion of such ownership share to the extent of such portion. In the event Gainesville assigns a portion of its right to participate in the 2.09359% ownership share the amount to be 6 .- . _ __ . _

1 exchanged in respect to such portion as provided in subsection (a) above shall be limited to one half of the portion assigned.

(d) Under no circumstances shall FPL be obligated to provide power and energy from St. Lucie Unit No.1 in exchange for power and energy -

from any ownership interest in St. Lucie Unit No. 2 except to the owner of such interest in St. Lucie Unit No. 2 who shall be a party (by execution or assignment pursuant to this section) to a nuclear reliability exchange agreement with FPL as provided in Section 6 (a).

Section 7. Should FPL hereafter enter into.a settlement with any other municipal electric utility under which that utility will receive proportionately greater benefits than would be provided to Gainesville under this settlement in consideration of settlement of the Miami litilation and/or tha . proceedings identified in Section 2, at Gainesville's request FPL's cbligation to Gainesville hereunder will be increased in order to provide Gainesville any such greater benefits, provided that FPL may requte Gainesville, as a condition for such increase, to modify this settlement to embody any other terms of such future settlement of the Miami litigation and the NRC proceedings whien FPL may desire. The benefits to Gainesville provided under this agreement in consideration of settlement of the Miami antitrust litigation and the NRC proceedings identified in Section 2 are those specified in Sections 5 and 6, the dismissal with pre, judice of FPL's claims against Gainesville in the Miami antitrust litigaticn, pursuant to Section 2, and that portion of the amount specified in Section 1 which represents 55% of the litigation expnses incurred by Gainesville through August 1,1981, with respect to the Miami antitrust litigation and the NRC proceedings. Gainesville believes that if it were to 7 _ _

continue to litigate the NRC proceedings and the Miami case it would receive greater benefits than herein provided for settlement of that litigation. FPL believes otherwise. However, in order to settie their differences, Gainesville and FPL agree to sett.le the NRC proceedings and the Miami case on the stated basis.

Section 8. All disputes arising out of Section 4 of this settlement agreement which the parties hereto are unable or unwilling to resolve by negotiation shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arcitration Association. The decision of the arbitral tribunal shall be binding and conclusive as to the rights and duties of the parties hereto, and judgment upon the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.
