The term “Underwriters” as used herein shall be deemed to mean the entity or several entities named in Schedule II hereto and any underwriter substituted as provided in Section 6 hereof, and the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to mean one of such Underwriters. If the entity or entities listed in Schedule I hereto (the “Representatives”) are the same as the entity or entities listed in Schedule II hereto, then the terms “Underwriters” and “Representatives,” as used herein, shall each be deemed to refer to such entity or entities. The Representatives represent that they have been authorized by each Underwriter to enter into this agreement on behalf of such Underwriter and to act for it in the manner herein provided. All obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are several and not joint. If more than one entity is named in Schedule I hereto, any action under or in respect of this agreement may be taken by such entities jointly as the Representatives or by one of the entities acting on behalf of the Representatives and such action will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

2. Description of Securities. Each of the Preferred Trust Securities represents a preferred undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust.

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 FPL or the Trust has arranged for the purchase of such Preferred Trust Securities by another party or parties as above provided, then this agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of FPL, the Trust 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 Preferred Trust Securities which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase as provided in Section 5 hereof), except as otherwise provided in Section 10 and subsections (d) and (f) of Section 7 hereof.

(e) During a period of nine months after the date of this agreement, if any event relating to or affecting either of the Offerors shall occur which, in the opinion of FPL, should be set forth in a supplement to or an amendment of the Prospectus (including an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) in order to make the Prospectus not misleading in the light of the circumstances when it is delivered to a purchaser, FPL 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 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 of this agreement, FPL 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) The Offerors will furnish such proper information as may be lawfully required and otherwise cooperate in qualifying the Preferred Trust Securities, the Trust Guarantee, and to the extent required or advisable, the other Offered Securities, 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 neither of the Offerors shall 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 either Offeror to be unduly burdensome.

(g) FPL will timely file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its security holders 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 Preferred Trust Securities, the Offerors will not 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 & Xxxxxxxx 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. The Offerors have not made any offer relating to the Preferred Trust Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Offerors with the Commission or retained by the Offerors under Rule 433 under the Securities Act, other than a pricing term sheet substantially in the form as set forth on Schedule I, and will not 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) The Offerors 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 Preferred Trust Securities hereunder, 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 has been received by FPL, 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 Subordinated Debentures are distributed to holders of Preferred Trust Securities upon liquidation of the Trust, FPL will take such action as is required in order to comply with (or be exempt from) all applicable securities or blue sky laws of the various jurisdictions in the United States in connection with such distribution. The provisions of this Section 7(h) shall survive the delivery of the Preferred Trust Securities.

8. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations to Purchase and Pay for Preferred Trust Securities. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Preferred Trust Securities shall be subject to the performance by the Offerors of their obligations to be performed hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date and to the following conditions:

(a) The representations and warranties made by the Offerors herein and qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects and the representations and warranties made by the Offerors 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 Preferred Trust Securities, a certificate from each of the Offerors dated the Closing Date and signed by an officer, in the case of FPL, and by an administrative trustee or authorized representative in the case of the Trust, 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 such 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 either of the Offerors; and the Representatives shall have received, prior to payment for the Preferred Trust Securities, a certificate from each of the Offerors dated the Closing Date and signed by an officer in the case of FPL and by an administrative trustee or authorized representative in the case of the Trust, to the effect that, to the best of his or her knowledge, no such order is in effect and no proceedings for either such purpose are pending before, or to the knowledge of FPL and the Trust, as the case may be, threatened by, the Commission.

(c) On the Closing Date, there shall be in full force and effect an authorization of the Florida Public Service Commission with respect to the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities on the terms herein stated or contemplated, and containing no provision unacceptable to the Representatives by reason of the fact that it is materially adverse to FPL, it being understood that no authorization provided to Counsel for the Underwriters and in effect at the date of this agreement contains any such unacceptable provision.

(d) On the Closing Date, the Representatives shall have received from Squire, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx L.L.P., counsel to FPL, Xxxxxx Xxxx & Priest LLP, counsel to FPL, Hunton & Xxxxxxxx LLP, Counsel for the Underwriters, and Morris, James, Hitchens & Xxxxxxxx LLP, special Delaware counsel to FPL and the Trust, opinions (with a copy for each of the Underwriters) in substantially the form and substance prescribed in Schedules IV, V, VI and VII hereto (i) with such changes therein as may be agreed upon by the Offerors and the Representatives, with the approval of Counsel for the Underwriters, and (ii) if the Prospectus relating to the Preferred Trust Securities 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.

(e) On the date of this agreement 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 FPL 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 FPL 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 Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FPL, 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 FPL, if any, since the close of FPL’s most recent audited fiscal year, reading the minutes and consents of the Board of Directors, the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, the Stock Issuance Committee of the Board of Directors, and the sole common shareholder of FPL since the end of the most recent audited fiscal year, and inquiries of officials of FPL 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 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 FPL, 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 FPL 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 common stock or additional paid-in capital, increase in the preferred stock or long-term debt of FPL and its subsidiaries, or decrease in FPL’s common shareholders’ equity, in each case as compared with amounts shown in the most recent [condensed] consolidated balance sheet 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 which are described in such letter; or (c) for the period from the date of the most recent [condensed] consolidated balance sheet 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 or net income available to FPL Group, Inc., 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 Exhibit 12(b) to the Registration Statement and such other items as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(f) 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 FPL and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except as disclosed in or contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package, and (ii) there shall have been no transaction entered into by FPL or any of its subsidiaries that is material to FPL and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, 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 FPL signed by an officer of FPL.

(g) All legal proceedings to be taken in connection with the issuance and sale of the Preferred Trust Securities and the Trust Guarantee shall have been satisfactory in form and substance to Counsel for the Underwriters.

(h) [The Preferred Trust Securities shall have been approved for listing on The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) upon official notice of issuance.]

In case any of the conditions specified above in this Section 8 shall not have been fulfilled, this agreement may be terminated by the Representatives upon mailing or delivering written notice thereof to the Offerors. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (f) of Section 7 hereof.

9. Condition of the Offerors’ Obligations. The obligations of the Trust and FPL to deliver the Preferred Trust Securities and the Trust Guarantee, respectively, to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the Underwriters and the obligation of FPL to deliver the Subordinated Debentures to the Trust shall be subject to the following conditions:

(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 such 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 any of the Offerors.

(b) No “Tax Event” (as defined in the Trust Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Closing Date.

(c) On the Closing Date there shall be in full force and effect an authorization of the Florida Public Service Commission with respect to the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities on the terms herein stated or contemplated, and containing no provision unacceptable to FPL by reason of the fact that it is materially adverse to FPL, it being understood that no authorization in effect at the date of this agreement contains any such unacceptable provision.

In case the conditions specified above in this Section 9 shall not have been fulfilled, this agreement may be terminated by the Offerors 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 subsections (d) and (f) of Section 7 hereof.

10. Indemnification.

(a) The Offerors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each officer and director of each Underwriter and each 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, 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 subsection (a) of Section 10 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 either of the Offerors by or on behalf of any Underwriter, through the Representatives, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, 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 subsection (a) of Section 10 in respect of any preliminary prospectus, 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 person controlling such Underwriter) on account of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arising from the sale of the Preferred Trust Securities to any person in respect of any preliminary prospectus, 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 Preferred Trust Securities 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 or omission made in such preliminary prospectus, Pricing Prospectus, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if a copy of a supplement or amendment to such preliminary prospectus, 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 the Offerors to the Underwriter, (ii) is required 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 Preferred Trust Securities with such person, but was not so conveyed (which conveyance may be oral (if permitted by law) 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 the Offerors contained in this subsection (a) of Section 10 and the representations and warranties of the Trust and FPL contained in Sections 3 and 4 hereof, respectively, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any such officer, director or controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of the Preferred Trust Securities. The Underwriters agree promptly to notify each of the Offerors, and each other Underwriter, of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them or any of them or any such officer, director or controlling person in connection with the issuance and sale of the Preferred Trust Securities.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Offerors, their respective officers, administrative trustees and directors, and each person who controls the Trust or FPL, 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, 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 either of the Offerors by or on behalf of such Underwriter, through the Representatives, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, 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 the Offerors in writing expressly for use in the preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus: [insert information provided by the Underwriters]. Each of the Offerors acknowledge that the statements set forth in the preceding sentence constitutes the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters expressly for inclusion in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The indemnity agreement of the respective Underwriters contained in this subsection (b) of Section 10 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of either of the Offerors or any of their respective officers or directors or any such other Underwriter or any such controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of the Preferred Trust Securities. The Offerors agree promptly to notify the

Representatives of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against either of the Offerors (or any controlling person thereof) or any of their respective officers, administrative trustees or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities.

(c) The Offerors 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 10, 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). The Offerors and 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 10, 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 subsections (a) or (b) above 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 subsections (a) or (b) above shall be unenforceable, in such proportion as

shall be appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of the Offerors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which have resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, (ii) the relative benefits received by the Offerors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Preferred Trust Securities 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 the Offerors 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. The Offerors and each of the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (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 subsection (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 Preferred Trust Securities 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 subsection (d) are several and not joint and shall be in the same proportion as such Underwriter’s obligation to underwrite Preferred Trust Securities is to the total number of Preferred Trust Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto.

11. Termination. This agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by delivering written notice thereof to the Offerors, at any time prior to the Closing Date, if after the date hereof and at or prior to the Closing Date:

(a) (i) there shall have occurred any general suspension of trading in securities on the NYSE or there shall have been established by the NYSE or by the Commission or by any federal or state agency or by the decision of any court any limitation on prices for such trading or any general restrictions on the distribution of securities, or trading in any securities of FPL shall have been suspended or limited by any exchange located in the United States or on the over-the-counter market located in the United States or a general banking moratorium declared by New York or federal authorities or (ii) there shall have occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, any outbreak of hostilities, including, but not limited to, an escalation of hostilities which existed prior to the date of this agreement, any other national or international calamity or crisis or any material adverse change in financial, political or economic conditions affecting the United States, the effect of any such event specified in this clause (ii) being such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Preferred Trust Securities as contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package or for the Underwriters to enforce contracts for the sale of the Preferred Trust Securities, or

(b) (i) there shall have been any downgrading or any notice of any intended or potential downgrading in the ratings accorded to the Preferred Trust Securities or the Subordinated Debentures or any securities of FPL which are of the same class as the Subordinated Debentures by either [Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)] or [Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc. (“S&P”)], or (ii) either [Moody’s] or [S&P] shall have publicly announced that either has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its ratings of the Preferred Trust Securities or the Subordinated Debentures or any securities of FPL which are of the same class as the Subordinated Debentures, the effect of any such event specified in (i) or (ii) above being such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Preferred Trust Securities as contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package or for the Underwriters to enforce contracts for the sale of the Preferred Trust Securities.

This agreement may also be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date if in the judgment of the Representatives the subject matter of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus prepared and furnished by the Offerors after the date hereof reflects a material adverse change in the business, properties or financial condition of FPL and its subsidiaries taken as a whole which renders it either inadvisable to proceed with such offering, if any, or inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Preferred Trust Securities to be purchased hereunder. Any termination of this agreement pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (f) of Section 7 hereof.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) The validity and interpretation of this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles thereunder. This agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Offerors, the several Underwriters and, with respect to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, each officer, director or controlling person referred to in said Section 10, and their respective successors. Nothing in this agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this agreement or any provision herein contained. The term “successors” as used in this agreement shall not include any purchaser, as such purchaser, of any Preferred Trust Securities from any of the several Underwriters.

(b) The Offerors each acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of arm’s length contractual counterparties to the Offerors with respect to the offering of the Preferred Trust Securities as contemplated by this agreement and not as financial advisors or fiduciaries to the Offerors in connection herewith. Additionally, none of the Underwriters is advising the Offerors as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction in connection with the offering of the Preferred Trust Securities as contemplated by this agreement.
