6

good faith with NEE Operating LP to attempt to agree on definitive terms acceptable to both Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion, for the Sale of the applicable NEER ROFO Asset to NEE Operating LP 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 NEER ROFO Asset to NEE Operating LP or one of its Subsidiaries, NEER will have the right, within the 270 days following such Negotiation Period (the "Third Party Sale Period"), to consummate a Sale of such NEER ROFO Asset to a Third Party (or agree in writing to undertake such Sale to a Third Party) in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2.
