1. The securities to be issued under the Indenture in accordance with this certificate shall be designated “Series __ Debentures due _________________” (referred to herein as the “Debentures of the ____________ Series”) and shall be issued in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto.

2. The Debentures of the ____________ Series shall mature and the principal shall be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Stated Maturity Date. The “Stated Maturity Date” means _________________.

3. The Debentures of the ____________ Series shall bear interest initially at the rate of ____% per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from, and including, __________________, to, but excluding, the earlier of (i) the Stated Maturity Date and (ii) the Reset Effective Date. In the event of a Successful Remarketing of the Debentures of the ____________ Series, the Interest Rate will be determined by the Remarketing Agents and reset at the Reset Rate effective from the Reset Effective Date, as set forth in Paragraph 4 below. If the Interest Rate is so reset, the Debentures of the ____________ Series will bear interest at the Reset Rate from, and including, the Reset Effective Date until the principal thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, is paid or duly made available for payment. The “Reset Effective Date” shall mean (i) in connection with a Successful Remarketing of the Debentures of the ____________ Series during the Period for Early Remarketing, the third Business Day immediately following the Remarketing Date on which the Debentures of the ____________ Series included in such Remarketing are successfully remarketed, unless the Remarketing is successful within five Business Days of the next succeeding Quarterly Interest Payment Date, in which case such Quarterly Interest Payment Date will be the Reset Effective Date, and (ii) in connection with a Successful Remarketing of the Debentures of the ____________ Series during the Final Three-Day Remarketing Period, _________________.

Interest on a Debenture of the ____________ Series shall be payable initially quarterly in arrears on _______, ______, ___________ and __________ of each year (each a “Quarterly Interest Payment Date”), commencing ________________, to the Person in whose name such Debenture of the ____________ Series, or any predecessor Debenture of the ____________ Series, is registered on the books and records of the Security Registrar at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date for such Quarterly Interest Payment Date. Following a Successful Remarketing of the Debentures of the ____________ Series, interest on a Debenture of the ____________ Series shall be payable (i) on the Reset Effective Date and (ii) semi-annually in arrears on the Subsequent Interest Payment Dates (together with the Quarterly Interest Payment Dates and the Reset Effective Date, the “Interest Payment Dates”), in each case to the Person in whose name such Debenture of the ____________ Series, or any predecessor Debenture of the ____________ Series, is registered on the books and records of the Security Registrar at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date. “Subsequent Interest Payment Date” shall mean, following the Reset Effective Date, each semi-annual interest payment date established by the Company on the Remarketing Date on which the Debentures of the ____________ Series included in the Remarketing are successfully remarketed.

Interest payments will include interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, from and including __________________, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date.

The amount of interest payable on the Debentures of the ____________ Series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full quarterly or semi-annual period for which interest is computed shall be computed on the basis of the number of days in such period using 30-day calendar months. In the event that an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, then such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date.

NEXTERA ENERGY CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida (herein referred to as the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture (as defined below)), for value received, hereby promises to pay to

, or registered assigns, the principal sum of ____________________ Dollars, as set forth on Schedule I hereto, on the Stated Maturity Date, and to pay interest on said principal amount from __________________ or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on _______, ______, ___________ and __________ of each year (each a “Quarterly Interest Payment Date”), commencing ________________, at the rate of ____% per annum to, but excluding, the Reset Effective Date, if any, and thereafter semi-annually in arrears on the Subsequent Interest Payment Dates (together with the Quarterly Interest Payment Dates and the Reset Effective Date, the “Interest Payment Dates”) at the Reset Rate, in each case on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) to pay interest, compounded quarterly, at the rate of ____% per annum on any overdue principal and payment of interest to, but excluding, the Reset Effective Date, if any, and thereafter, compounded semi-annually, at the Reset Rate, if any. Interest on the Securities of this series will accrue from and including __________________, to, but excluding, the first Interest Payment Date, and thereafter will accrue from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for.

No interest will accrue on the Securities of this series with respect to the day on which the Securities of this series mature. In the event that an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, then such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date.

Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Person who is the Holder of this Security on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Security, or any Predecessor Security, is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in New York City, the State of New York in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, interest on this Security may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such address shall appear on the Security Register or by a wire transfer to an account designated by the Person entitled thereto.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse of this Security, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBENTURE]

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture (For Unsecured Debt Securities), dated as of June 1, 1999 (herein, together with any amendments thereto, called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, including the Board Resolutions and Officer’s Certificate filed with the Trustee on __________________, creating the series designated on the face hereof (herein called the “Officer’s Certificate”), for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of this series and of the terms upon which the Securities of this series are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.

Unless an earlier Special Event Redemption or Mandatory Redemption has occurred, this Security shall mature and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the Stated Maturity Date. The “Stated Maturity Date” shall mean _________________.

If a Special Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities of this series in whole, but not in part, at any time, at a price per Security equal to the Redemption Price as set forth in the Officer’s Certificate.

If this Security is not a component of Corporate Units, the Holder of this Security may, on or prior to the second Business Day, but no earlier than the fifth Business Day, immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date of any Three-Day Remarketing Period, elect to have this Security remarketed, by delivering this Security, along with a notice of such election to ________________________________, as Collateral Agent and Custodial Agent, for Remarketing in accordance with the Pledge Agreement dated as of _________________ between NextEra Energy, The Bank of New York Mellon and ____________________________________, as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary.

The Securities of this series are subject to a put right (the “Put Right”) in the following circumstances:

(A) If there has not been a Successful Remarketing prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of Securities of this series that are not part of a Corporate Unit may exercise its Put Right by providing written notice at least two Business Days prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, all as more fully described in the Officer’s Certificate. The Put Price will be paid to such Holder on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. The “Put Price” will be equal to the principal amount of such Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

A - 4

(B) If there has not been a Successful Remarketing prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of a 5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of Securities that is a component of a Corporate Unit (the “Applicable Ownership Interest in Securities”) will be deemed to have automatically exercised its Put Right, upon a Failed Remarketing during the Final Three-Day Remarketing Period, unless, on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, such Holder provides written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to settle the related Purchase Contracts with separate cash and, on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, delivers to the Collateral Agent $50 in cash per each of such Holder’s related Purchase Contracts. As described in the Purchase Contract Agreement, each Holder of an Applicable Ownership Interest in Securities who has not settled the related Purchase Contracts with separate cash will be deemed to have elected to apply a portion of the Put Price equal to the principal amount of such Holder’s Applicable Ownership Interest in Securities against such Holder’s obligations to NextEra Energy under the related Purchase Contracts, thereby satisfying such obligations in full, and NextEra Energy will deliver to such Holder its common stock, $0.01 par value, issued in accordance with each related Purchase Contract. Any amount of the Put Price remaining following settlement of each such Purchase Contract will be delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of such Holder.

The Put Right of a Holder of the Securities of this series that are not part of a Corporate Unit shall only be exercisable upon delivery to the Company, on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at the offices of the agency of the Company in New York City, the Securities of this series to be repaid with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of or otherwise accompanying such Securities duly completed. Any such notice received by the Company shall be irrevocable. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of the Securities of this series for repurchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding. The payment of the Put Price in respect of such Securities of this series shall be made, either through the Trustee or the Company acting as Paying Agent on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

The Securities of this series will be absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, by NextEra Energy, as Guarantor (the “Guarantor”), pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1999, between the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon (as Guarantee Trustee) (the “Guarantee Agreement”).
