If any Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay for the principal amount of the Debentures [of each series] which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase and pay for hereunder (otherwise than by reason of any failure on the part of NEE [¹or NEE Capital] to comply with any of the provisions contained herein), the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase and pay for (in addition to the respective principal amount of the Debentures [of each series] set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto) the principal amount of the Debentures [of each series] which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase and pay for, up to a principal amount thereof equal to, in the case of each such remaining Underwriter, ten percent (10%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures [of the series as to which there is a default and] which are set forth opposite the name of each such remaining Underwriter in said Schedule II, and such remaining Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours of receipt of such notice, either to (i) purchase and pay for (in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them) the remaining principal amount of the Debentures [of each series] which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase, or (ii) substitute another Underwriter or Underwriters, satisfactory to [¹NEE Capital and NEE] [²NEE], to purchase and pay for the remaining principal amount of the Debentures [of each series] which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any of the Debentures would still remain unpurchased, then [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] 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 Debentures on the terms herein set forth. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, (i) the non-defaulting Underwriters notify [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] that they have arranged for the purchase of such Debentures or (ii) [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] notifies the non-defaulting Underwriters that it has arranged for the purchase of such Debentures, the non-defaulting Underwriters or [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] 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 Capital] [²NEE] has arranged for the purchase of such Debentures by another party or parties as above provided, then this agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of NEE [¹or 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 Debentures which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase as provided in Section [5] hereof), except as otherwise provided in Section [7(d]), Section [7(f)] and Section [10] hereof.

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

(a) NEE [¹and NEE Capital] will timely file the Prospectus and any preliminary prospectus supplement used in connection with the offering of the Debentures with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424. NEE [¹and NEE Capital] have complied and will comply with Rule 433 in connection with the offering and sale of the Debentures, including applicable provisions in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record-keeping.

(b) NEE [¹and NEE Capital] will prepare a final term sheet, containing a description of the pricing terms of the Debentures, 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 Capital] [²NEE] 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 Capital] [²NEE] to be in the form as originally filed, including all Incorporated Documents and exhibits, except those incorporated by reference, which relate to the Debentures, 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 Capital] [²NEE] 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 Capital] [²NEE] 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 Debentures as provided in Section [6] 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, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus [¹the Guarantee Agreement] and the Indenture. [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] will pay or cause to be paid all taxes, if any (but not including any transfer taxes), on the issuance of the Debentures. [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] shall not, 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 8], [Section 9] or [Section 11] hereof, [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] 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 Capital] [²NEE] 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. [¹Neither] NEE [¹nor NEE Capital] shall [²not] 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 [¹or NEE Capital] shall occur which, in the opinion of NEE [¹or 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 Capital] [²NEE] 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 Capital] [²NEE] 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) NEE and [¹NEE Capital] will furnish such proper information as may be lawfully required and otherwise cooperate in qualifying the Debentures 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 [¹neither] NEE [¹nor NEE Capital] shall [²not] 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 [¹or 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 Debentures) 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 Debentures, [¹neither] NEE [¹nor NEE Capital] will [²not] 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 Xxxxxx 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. [¹Neither] NEE [¹nor NEE Capital have] [²has not] made any offer relating to the Debentures that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by NEE [¹or NEE Capital] with the Commission or retained by NEE [¹or NEE Capital] pursuant to Rule 433, other than a pricing term sheet substantially in the form as set forth on Schedule I, and [¹neither] NEE [¹nor NEE Capital] will [²not] 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 [¹and 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 Debentures, 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, NEE [¹or NEE Capital] promptly will notify the Representatives so that any use of the Pricing Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented.

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

(a) The [¹respective] representations and warranties made by NEE [¹and NEE Capital] herein and qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects and the [¹respective] representations and warranties made by NEE [¹and 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 Debentures, a certificate from [¹each of] NEE [¹and NEE Capital] dated the Closing Date and signed by an officer of NEE [¹and 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 [¹or NEE Capital] and not removed by the Closing Date; and the Representatives shall have received, prior to payment for the Debentures, a certificate from [¹each of] NEE [¹and NEE Capital] dated the Closing Date and signed by an officer of NEE [¹and 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 [¹or 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 [¹and NEE Capital], Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel to NEE [¹and NEE Capital], and Xxxxxx 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 XXX [¹, NEE Capital] and the Representatives, with the approval of Counsel for the Underwriters, and (ii) if the Prospectus relating to the Debentures 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 [¹and 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 other 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 [¹(a) NEE Capital and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (b)] NEE and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except [¹in each case] as disclosed in or contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package, and (ii) there shall have been no transaction entered into by [¹(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, [¹in 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 [¹each of NEE Capital and] NEE signed by an officer of [²NEE Capital or] NEE[¹, as the case may be].

(f) All legal proceedings to be taken in connection with the issuance and sale of the Debentures shall have been satisfactory in form and substance to Counsel for the Underwriters.

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 NEE [¹and NEE Capital]. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Section 7[(d)] and Section [7(f)] hereof.

9. Condition of NEE’s [¹and NEE Capital’s] Obligations. The obligation of [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] to deliver the Debentures [¹and the obligation of NEE to deliver the Guarantee] 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 [¹or NEE Capital] and not removed by the Closing Date.

In case the condition specified above in this Section [9] shall not have been fulfilled, this agreement may be terminated by NEE [¹and 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 [7(d)] and Section [7(f)] hereof.

10. Indemnification.

(a) NEE [¹and NEE Capital, jointly and severally, agree] [²agrees] 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 [10(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 [¹or 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 [10(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 Debentures [of any series] 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 Debentures 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 NEE [¹or NEE Capital] 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 Debentures 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 [¹and NEE Capital] contained in this Section [10(a)] and the representations and warranties of NEE [¹and NEE Capital] contained in [¹Section 3 and Section 4] [²Section 3] hereof, [¹respectively,] 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 Debentures [of each series]. Each Underwriter agrees promptly to notify [¹each of] NEE [¹and 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 Debentures [of any series].

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless [¹each of] NEE [¹and NEE Capital], [¹their respective] [²its] officers and directors, and each person who controls NEE [¹or 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 [¹or 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 [¹and 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 [¹and NEE Capital each acknowledge] [²acknowledges] 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 [10(b)] shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of NEE [¹or NEE Capital] or any of [¹their respective] [²its] officers or directors or any person who controls NEE [¹or 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 Debentures [of each series]. NEE [¹and NEE Capital agree] [²agrees] promptly to notify the Representatives of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against NEE [¹, NEE Capital] (or any of their respective controlling persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) or any of [¹their respective] [²its] officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Debentures [of any series].

(c) NEE [¹, 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 [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). NEE [¹, 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 [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 Section [10(a)] or Section [10(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 [10(a)] or Section [10(b)] hereof shall be unenforceable, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of NEE [¹and 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 [¹and NEE

Capital] on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Debentures 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 [¹and 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 [¹, NEE Capital] and each of the Underwriters each agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section [10(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 [10(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 Debentures 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 [10(d)] are several and not joint and shall be in the same proportion as such Underwriter’s obligation to underwrite the Debentures [of the series with respect to which contribution is sought] is to the total principal amount of the Debentures [of such series] set forth in Schedule II hereto.

11. Termination. This agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by delivering written notice thereof to NEE [¹and NEE Capital], 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 New York Stock Exchange LLC (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 NEE [¹or NEE Capital] 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 hereof, 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 Debentures [of any series] as contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package or for the Underwriters to enforce contracts for the sale of the Debentures [of any series]; or

(b) (i) there shall have been any downgrading or any notice of any intended or potential downgrading in the ratings accorded to the Debentures [of any series] or any securities of [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] which are of the same class as the Debentures by either [Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)] or [S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”)], or (ii) either [Moody’s] or [S&P] shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its ratings of the Debentures [of any series] or any securities of [¹NEE Capital] [²NEE] which are of the same class as the Debentures [of any series], 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 Debentures [of any series] as contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package or for the Underwriters to enforce contracts for the sale of the Debentures [of any series].

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 NEE [¹and NEE Capital] after the date hereof reflects a material adverse change in the business, properties or financial condition of NEE and its subsidiaries taken as a whole [¹or NEE Capital 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 Debentures [of any series] 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 Section [7(d)] and Section [7(f)] hereof.

12. Miscellaneous.

State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law will be deemed original signatures for purposes of this agreement.
