If any of the Shares would still remain unpurchased, then [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] shall be entitled to a further period of 24 hours within which to procure another party or other parties that (i) are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or else are not eligible for membership in said Authority but who agree (A) to make no sales within the United States, its territories or its possessions or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein and (B) in making sales to comply with said Authority’s Conduct Rules, and (ii) are satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Shares on the terms herein set forth. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, (i) the non-defaulting Underwriters notify [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] that they have arranged for the purchase of such Shares or (ii) [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] notifies the non-defaulting Underwriters that it has arranged for the purchase of such Shares, the non-defaulting Underwriters or [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period of not more than three full business days beyond the expiration of the respective prescribed periods in order to effect whatever changes may thus be made necessary in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. In the event that neither the non-defaulting Underwriters nor [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] has arranged for the purchase of such Shares by another party or parties as above provided, then this agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of NEE [²or NEE Capital] or any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter which shall have failed or refused, otherwise than for some reason sufficient to justify, in accordance with the terms hereof, the cancellation or termination of its obligations hereunder, to purchase and pay for the Shares which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase as provided in Section [4] hereof), except as otherwise provided in Section [6](d), Section[6](f) and Section [9] hereof.

6. Covenants of NEE [²and NEE Capital]. NEE [²and NEE Capital] [¹agrees] [²agree] with the several Underwriters that:

(a) NEE [²and NEE Capital] will timely file the Prospectus and any preliminary prospectus supplement used in connection with the offering of the Securities with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424. NEE [² and NEE Capital] have complied and will comply with Rule 433 in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares, including applicable provisions in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record-keeping.

(b) NEE [²and NEE Capital] will prepare a final term sheet, containing a description of the pricing terms of the Shares, substantially in the form of Schedule I hereto and approved by the Representatives and will timely file such term sheet with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433.

(c) [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] will, upon request, deliver to the Representatives and to Counsel for the Underwriters (as defined below) one signed copy of the Registration Statement or, if a signed copy is not available, one conformed copy of the Registration Statement certified by an officer of [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] to be in the form as originally filed, including all Incorporated Documents and exhibits, except those incorporated by reference, which relate to the Shares, including a signed or conformed copy of each consent and certificate included therein or filed as an exhibit thereto. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Underwriters through the Representatives as many copies of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as the Representatives may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the Securities Act.

(d) [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] has paid or caused to be paid or will pay or cause to be paid all expenses in connection with the (i) preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (ii) issuance and delivery of the Shares as provided in Section [5] hereof, and (iii) printing and delivery to the Representatives for the account of the Underwriters, in reasonable quantities, of copies of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Prospectus [¹and] [²,] any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus [²and the Guarantee Agreement]. [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] will pay or cause to be paid all taxes, if any (but not including any transfer taxes), on the issuance of the Shares. [¹NEE] [²Neither NEE nor NEE Capital] shall [¹not], however, be required to pay any amount for any expenses of the Representatives or any of the Underwriters (other than in accordance with the provisions of Section [10] hereof), except that if this agreement shall be terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section [7], Section [8] or Section [10] hereof, [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] will pay or cause to be paid the fees and disbursements of Counsel for the Underwriters, whose fees and disbursements the Underwriters agree to pay in any other event, and [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] shall reimburse or cause to be reimbursed the Underwriters for out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with the transactions contemplated by this agreement, not in excess, however, of an aggregate of $5,000 for such out-of-pocket expenses. [²Neither] NEE [²nor NEE Capital] shall [¹not] in any event be liable to any of the several Underwriters for damages on account of loss of anticipated profits.

(e) During a period of nine months after the date hereof, if any event relating to or affecting NEE [²or NEE Capital] shall occur which, in the opinion of NEE [²or NEE Capital], should be set forth in a supplement to or an amendment to the Prospectus (including an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) in order to make the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances pertaining when it is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading. [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] will forthwith at its expense prepare, file with the Commission, if required, and furnish to the Representatives a reasonable number of copies of such supplement or supplements or amendment or amendments to the Prospectus (including an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) which will supplement or amend the Prospectus so that as supplemented or amended it will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances pertaining when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; provided that should such event relate solely to activities of any of the Underwriters, then the Underwriters shall assume the expense of preparing and furnishing copies of any such amendment or supplement. In case any Underwriter is required to deliver a Prospectus after the expiration of nine months after the date hereof, [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] upon the request of the Representatives will furnish to the Representatives, at the expense of such Underwriter, a reasonable quantity of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or supplements or amendments to the Prospectus complying with Section 10 of the Securities Act.

(f) [¹NEE] [² and NEE Capital] will furnish such proper information as may be lawfully required and otherwise cooperate in qualifying the Shares [²(including the guarantee pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement)] for offer and sale under the blue sky laws of such United States jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and will pay or cause to be paid filing fees and expenses (including fees of counsel not to exceed $5,000 and reasonable disbursements of counsel), provided that [²neither] NEE [²nor NEE Capital] shall [¹not] be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities, or to file any consents to service of process under the laws of any jurisdiction, or to meet other requirements deemed by NEE [²or NEE Capital] to be unduly burdensome.

(g) NEE will timely file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its security holders (including holders of the Preferred Stock [²as guaranteed by the Guarantee Agreement]) as soon as practicable an earnings statement (which need not be audited, unless required so to be under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(h) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Shares, [²neither] NEE [²nor NEE Capital] will [¹not] file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Pricing Disclosure Package without prior notice to the Representatives and to Hunton Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP, who are acting as counsel for the several Underwriters (“Counsel for the Underwriters”), or any such amendment or supplement to which the Representatives shall reasonably object in writing, or which shall be unsatisfactory to Counsel for the Underwriters. [²Neither] NEE [¹has not] [²nor NEE Capital have] made any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by NEE [²or NEE Capital] with the Commission or retained by NEE [²or NEE Capital] pursuant to Rule 433, other than a pricing term sheet substantially in the form as set forth on Schedule I, and [²neither] NEE [²nor NEE Capital] will [¹not] make any such offer without prior notice to the Representatives and to Counsel for the Underwriters, or any such offer to which the Representatives shall reasonably object in writing, or which shall be unsatisfactory to Counsel for the Underwriters.

(i) NEE [²and NEE Capital] will advise the Representatives promptly of the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424, of the filing of any material pursuant to Rule 433 and of any amendment or supplement to the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Registration Statement or, prior to the termination of the offering of the Shares, of official notice of the institution of proceedings for, or the entry of, a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of receipt from the Commission of any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, and, if such a stop order should be entered, or notice of objection should be received, use every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the prompt removal thereof.

(j) If there occurs an event or development as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package would include an untrue statement of a material fact or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then pertaining, not misleading, [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] promptly will notify the Representatives so that any use of the Pricing Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented.

(k) [¹NEE] [²NEE Capital] will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to deliver, in appropriate form for filing, to the Department of State, State of Florida, on or before the Closing Date the articles of amendment required by Section 607.0602, Florida Statues, relating to the Shares, and will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have such articles of amendment accepted for filing by such Department of State on or before the Closing Date.

7. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations to Purchase and Pay for the Shares. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Shares shall be subject to the performance by NEE [²and NEE Capital] of [¹its] [²their respective] obligations to be performed hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date and to the following conditions:

(a) The [²respective] representations and warranties made by NEE [²and NEE Capital] herein and qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects and the [²respective] representations and warranties made by NEE [²and NEE Capital] herein that are not qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, in each case, as if made on and as of such date and the Representatives shall have received, prior to payment for the Shares, a certificate from [²each of] NEE [²and NEE Capital] dated the Closing Date and signed by an officer of NEE [²and NEE Capital, as the case may be,] to that effect.

(b) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect on the Closing Date; no order of the Commission directed to the adequacy of any Incorporated Document shall be in effect on the Closing Date; no proceedings for either such purpose shall be pending before, or threatened by, the Commission on the Closing Date; and no notice of objection by the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act shall have been received by NEE [²or NEE Capital] and not removed by the Closing Date; and the Representatives shall have received, prior to payment for the Shares, a certificate from [²each of] NEE [²and NEE Capital] dated the Closing Date and signed by an officer of NEE [²and NEE Capital, as the case may be,] to the effect that, to the best of his or her knowledge, no such orders are in effect, no proceedings for either such purpose are pending before, or to the knowledge of NEE [²or NEE Capital, as the case may be,] threatened by, the Commission, and no such notice of objection has been received and not removed.

(c) On the Closing Date, the Representatives shall have received from Squire Xxxxxx Xxxxx (US) LLP, counsel to NEE [²and NEE Capital], Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Bockius LLP, counsel to NEE [²and NEE Capital], and Hunton Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP, Counsel for the Underwriters, opinions (with a copy for each of the Underwriters) in substantially the form and substance prescribed in Schedule IV, Schedule V, and Schedule VI hereto (i) with such changes therein as may be agreed upon by NEE [², NEE Capital] and the Representatives, with the approval of Counsel for the Underwriters, and (ii) if the Prospectus relating to the Shares shall be supplemented or amended after the Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424, with any changes therein necessary to reflect such supplementation or amendment.

(d) On the date hereof and on the Closing Date, the Representatives shall have received from Deloitte & Touche LLP a letter or letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to the Representatives) (with copies thereof for each of the Underwriters) dated the respective dates of delivery thereof to the effect that (i) they are an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to NEE within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder; (ii) in their opinion, the consolidated financial statements of NEE audited by them and incorporated by reference in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the published rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) on the basis of performing a review of interim financial information as described in the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) AS 4105, Reviews of Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited [condensed] consolidated financial statements of NEE, if any, incorporated by reference in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, a reading of the latest available interim unaudited [condensed] consolidated financial statements of NEE, if any, since the close of NEE’s most recent audited fiscal year, a reading of the minutes and consents of the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Finance & Investment Committee of the Board of Directors and of the shareholders of NEE [²and the minutes and consents of the Board of Directors and of the shareholder of NEE Capital] since the end of the most recent audited fiscal year, and inquiries of officials of NEE who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters (it being understood that the foregoing procedures do not constitute an audit made in accordance with standards of the PCAOB and they would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments made in such letter, and accordingly that Deloitte & Touche LLP makes no representation as to the sufficiency of such procedures for the several Underwriters’ purposes), nothing has come to their attention which caused them to believe that (a) the unaudited [condensed] consolidated financial statements of NEE, if any, incorporated by reference in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, (1) do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the published rules and regulations thereunder and (2) except as disclosed in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements of NEE incorporated by reference in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable; (b) at the date of the latest available interim balance sheet read by them and at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of such letter, there was any change in the capital stock or increase in long-term debt including current maturities and excluding fair value swaps, if any, and unamortized premium and discount on long-term debt of NEE and its subsidiaries, or decrease in common shareholders’ equity of NEE and its subsidiaries, in each case as compared with amounts shown in the most recent [condensed] consolidated balance sheet, if any, incorporated by reference in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases which the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, discloses have occurred or may occur, or as occasioned by the declaration, provision for, or payment of dividends, or as occasioned by the issuance, forfeiture or acquisition of common stock pursuant to or in connection with any employee or director benefit or compensation plan or the dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan or which are described in such letter; or (c) for the period from the date of the most recent [condensed] consolidated balance sheet, if any, incorporated by reference in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, to the latest available interim balance sheet read by them and for the period from the date of the latest available interim balance sheet read by them to a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of such letter, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in total consolidated operating revenues or in net income, except in all instances for decreases which the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, discloses have occurred or may occur, or which are described in such letter; and (iv) they have carried out certain procedures and made certain findings, as specified in such letter, with respect to certain amounts included in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, and such items as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(e) Since the respective most recent times as of which information is given in the Pricing Disclosure Package, and up to the Closing Date, (i) there shall have been no material adverse change in the business, properties or financial condition of [²(a) NEE Capital and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (b)] NEE and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except [²in each case] as disclosed in or contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package, and (ii) there shall have been no transaction entered into by [²(a) NEE Capital or any of its subsidiaries that is material to NEE Capital and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (b)] NEE or any of its subsidiaries that is material to NEE and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, [²in each case] other than transactions disclosed in or contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package, and transactions in the ordinary course of business; and at the Closing Date, the Representatives shall have received a certificate to such effect from [²each of NEE Capital and] NEE signed by an officer of [²NEE Capital or] NEE[², as the case may be].

(f) All legal proceedings to be taken in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares [²(including the guarantee pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement)] shall have been satisfactory in form and substance to Counsel for the Underwriters.

(g) [The Shares shall have been approved for listing on The New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE”) upon official notice of issuance.]

In case any of the conditions specified above in this Section [7] shall not have been fulfilled, this agreement may be terminated by the Representatives upon mailing or delivering written notice thereof to NEE [²and NEE Capital]. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Section [6](d) and Section [6](f) hereof.

8. Condition of NEE’s [²and NEE Capital’s] Obligations. The [¹obligation] [²obligations] of NEE [² Capital and NEE] to deliver the Shares [²and the Guarantee Agreement, respectively] shall be subject to the following condition:

(a) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect on the Closing Date; no order of the Commission directed to the adequacy of any Incorporated Document shall be in effect on the Closing Date; no proceedings for either such purpose shall be pending before, or threatened by, the Commission on the Closing Date; and no notice of objection by the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act shall have been received by NEE [²or NEE Capital] and not removed by the Closing Date.

In case the condition specified above in this Section [8] shall not have been fulfilled, this agreement may be terminated by NEE [²and NEE Capital] upon mailing or delivering written notice thereof to the Representatives. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Section [6](d) and Section [6](f) hereof.

9. Indemnification.

(a) NEE [²and NEE Capital, jointly and severally, agree] [¹agrees] to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each officer and director of each Underwriter and each person (a “Controlling Person”) who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or common law, and to reimburse each such Underwriter, officer, director and Controlling Person for any legal or other expenses (including, to the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable counsel fees) when and as incurred by them in connection with investigating any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus supplement, including all Incorporated Documents, or in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section [9](a) shall not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arising out of, or based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing, to NEE [²or NEE Capital] by or on behalf of any Underwriter, through the Representatives, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any thereof, or arising out of, or based upon, statements in or omissions from the Statements of Eligibility; and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section [9](a) in respect of any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or of any officer or director or Controlling Person of such Underwriter) on account of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arising from the sale of the Shares to any person in respect of any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, each as may be then supplemented or amended, furnished by such Underwriter to a person to whom any of the Shares were sold (excluding in all cases, however, any document then incorporated by reference therein), insofar as such indemnity relates to any untrue or misleading statement made in or omission from such preliminary prospectus supplement, Pricing Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus, if a copy of a supplement or amendment to such preliminary prospectus supplement, Pricing Prospectus, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (excluding in all cases, however, any document then incorporated by reference therein) (i) is furnished on a timely basis by [²NEE Capital or] NEE to the Underwriter, (ii) is required by law or regulation to have been conveyed to such person by or on behalf of such Underwriter, at or prior to the entry into the contract of sale of the Shares with such person, but was not so conveyed (which conveyance may be oral or written) by or on behalf of such Underwriter and (iii) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. The indemnity agreement of NEE [²and NEE Capital] contained in this Section [9](a) and the representations and warranties of NEE [²and NEE Capital] contained in [¹Section 2] [²Section 2 and Section 3] hereof, [²respectively,] shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any of its officers, directors or Controlling Persons, and shall survive the delivery of the Shares. Each Underwriter agrees promptly to notify [²each of] NEE [²and NEE Capital], and each other Underwriter, of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the notifying Underwriter, or any of its officers, directors or Controlling Persons in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless [²each of] NEE [²and NEE Capital], [²their respective] [¹its] officers and directors, and each person who controls NEE [²or NEE Capital, as the case may be] within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or common law, and to reimburse each of them for any legal or other expenses (including, to the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable counsel fees) when and as incurred by them in connection with investigating any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to NEE [²or NEE Capital] by or on behalf of such Underwriter, through the Representatives, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any thereof. The Underwriters hereby furnish to NEE [²and NEE Capital] in writing expressly for use in the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated __________, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the following: [insert information provided by the Underwriters]. NEE [²and NEE Capital each acknowledge] [¹acknowledges] that the statements identified in the preceding [____] sentence[s] constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters expressly for inclusion in the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated __________, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The respective indemnity agreement of each Underwriter contained in this Section [9](b) shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of NEE [²or NEE Capital] or any of [²their respective] [¹its] officers or directors or any person who controls NEE [²or NEE Capital] within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of any other Underwriter or any of its officers, directors or Controlling Persons, and shall survive the delivery of the Shares. NEE [²and NEE Capital agree] [¹agrees] promptly to notify the Representatives of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against NEE [², NEE Capital] (or of [¹its] [²their respective] controlling persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) or any of [¹its] [²their respective] officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares.

(c) NEE [², NEE Capital] and each of the several Underwriters each agree that, upon the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against it, its officers and directors, or any person controlling it as aforesaid, in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be sought under the provisions of this Section [9], it will promptly give written notice of the commencement thereof to the party or parties against whom indemnity or contribution shall be sought thereunder, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party or parties of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case such notice of any such action shall be so given, such indemnifying party or parties shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume (in conjunction with any other indemnifying parties) the defense of such action, in which event such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such indemnifying party or parties and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties who shall be defendant or defendants in such action, and such defendant or defendants shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them; but if the indemnifying party or parties shall elect not to assume the defense of such action, such indemnifying party or parties will reimburse such indemnified party or parties for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest involved in the representation by such counsel of both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel, satisfactory to the indemnifying party or parties, to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). NEE [², NEE Capital] and each of the several Underwriters each agree that without the prior written consent of the other parties to such action who are parties to this agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any claim or proceeding in respect of which such party intends to seek indemnity or contribution under the provisions of this Section [9], unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such other parties from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such other parties.

(d) If, or to the extent, the indemnification provided for in Section [9](a) or Section[9](b) hereof shall be unenforceable under applicable law by an indemnified party, each indemnifying party agrees to contribute to such indemnified party with respect to any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses for which each such indemnification provided for in Section [9](a) or Section [9](b) hereof shall be unenforceable, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of NEE [²and NEE Capital] on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which have resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, (ii) the relative benefits received by NEE [²and NEE Capital] on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this agreement, and (iii) any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that no indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution with respect thereto from any indemnifying party not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by NEE [²and NEE Capital] or the Underwriters and each such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. NEE [², NEE Capital] and each of the Underwriters each agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section [9](d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section [9](d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute in excess of the amount equal to the excess of (i) the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it were offered to the public, over (ii) the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The obligations of each Underwriter to contribute pursuant to this Section [9](d) are several and not joint and shall be in the same proportion as such Underwriter’s obligation to underwrite the Shares is to the total number of the Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto.
