Government ghat the franchise tax levied and collected by the
Issuer pursuant to an agreement with Florida Power Corporation
under the authority of an ordinance duly enacted by the Issuer on
September 22, 1970, be pledged as a part of the security for the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
D. Although said franchise tax is levied and collected
by the Issuer pursuant to an agreement with Florida Power
Corporation, the definition of the term "Franchise Tax" contained
in Section 1.01 of the Original Instrument refers to the
franchise tax "...levied and collected by the Issuer pursuant
to an agreement with Florida Power and.Light Company..."

term "Franchise Tax" contained in the Original Instrument, and it
is appropriate and desirable to amend the Original Instrument to
make such correction.
F. The Issuer has determined that it is in the best
interest of the Issuer and its citizens and inhabitants that the
definition of "Franchise Tax" contained in the Original
Instrument be corrected to reflect that the above-described
agreement was entered into with Florida Power Corporation.
