Indemnification. (a) FPL Group and FPL Group Capital each severally and jointly agree to indemnify the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent, and its respective affiliates, directors and officers and each person who controls the Remarketing Agent or Reset Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, (each such person being an "Indemnified Party,") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state statute, regulation or common law, and related to or arising out of any acts or omissions of the Remarketing Agent and Reset Agent in connection with its respective duties and obligations as contemplated by Section 2 of this Agreement and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party. Neither FPL Group nor FPL Group Capital will be liable to any Indemnified Party under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Remarketing Agent's and Reset Agent's bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. FPL Group and FPL Group Capital also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to FPL Group, FPL Group Capital or any of their respective security holders or creditors related to or arising out of any acts or omissions of the Remarketing Agent and Reset Agent in connection with their respective duties and obligations as contemplated by Section 2 hereof, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Remarketing Agent's or Reset Agent's bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. (b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) shall be unenforceable for any reason, FPL Group and FPL Group Capital each severally and jointly agree to contribute to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for 5 which such indemnification shall be unenforceable, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of FPL Group and FPL Group Capital on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent and Reset Agent on the other in connection with the acts or omissions which have resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, (ii) the relative benefits to FPL Group and FPL Group Capital of the work performed by the Remarketing Agent and Reset Agent as contemplated by the Agreement, on the one hand, and the value of the engagement to the Remarketing Agent or Reset Agent on the other hand, 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 from any party who is not also guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. FPL Group and FPL Group Capital and the Remarketing Agent and Reset Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(b) 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. (c) Each Indemnified Party shall give written notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to FPL Group and FPL Group Capital of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder but failure to so notify FPL Group and FPL Group Capital hereunder of any such action shall not relieve FPL Group or FPL Group Capital of any liability hereunder except to the extent FPL Group or FPL Group Capital is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to notify. FPL Group and FPL Group Capital may participate at their own expense in the defense of any such action and may, at their option, jointly assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by FPL Group and FPL Group Capital and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and such Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it. If the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and FPL Group or FPL Group Capital or both and counsel for FPL Group and/or FPL Group Capital shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest involved in the representation by a single counsel of both the Indemnified Party and FPL Group and/or FPL Group Capital, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel, satisfactory to FPL Group and FPL Group Capital, provided that, in no event shall FPL Group and FPL Group Capital be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel separate from their own counsel in addition to local counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. FPL Group, FPL Group Capital, the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent 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 indemnification provisions of this Section 8, 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. Section 9. Termination of Remarketing 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 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 an indemnifying party shall elect not to assume the defense of such action, such indemnifying party 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). FPL Group, FPL Group Capital and the Remarketing Agent 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 indemnification provisions of this Section 11, 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) A-5 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 FPL Group and FPL Group Capital on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent 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 FPL Group and FPL Group Capital on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent on the other hand from the remarketing of the Subject 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 FPL Group and FPL Group Capital or the Remarketing Agent and each such party's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. FPL Group, FPL Group Capital and the Remarketing Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) was 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), the Remarketing Agent shall not be required to contribute in excess of the amount equal to the excess of (i) the total price at which the Subject Debentures remarketed by it were offered, over (ii) the amount of any damages which the Remarketing Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission." (b) To the extent the Underwriting Agreement is applicable hereto, references therein to (i) the "Underwriter" or "Underwriters" or the "Representative" or "Representatives", as the case may be, shall be deemed to refer to the Remarketing Agent; (ii) "Securities" shall be deemed to refer to the Subject Debentures; (iii) "this Agreement" shall be deemed to refer to the Remarketing Agreement as supplemented by this Agreement, (iv) "the date hereof" shall be deemed to refer to the third Business Day preceding [_________, 200__] [the Purchase Contract Settlement Date], and (v) "Closing Date" shall be deemed to refer to the Remarketing Closing Date specified in Schedule I hereto (the "Remarketing Closing Date"). To the extent the provisions of such Underwriting Agreement refer to the "Prospectus" or the "Registration Statement," such reference shall be deemed to (i) refer to any prospectus or registration statement, or other offering document, that FPL Group and FPL Group Capital are required to prepare or file with respect to the Subject Debentures pursuant to applicable law, regulations or interpretations of the Commission in effect at the time of the remarketing of such Subject Debentures, including all documents incorporated by reference therein and (ii) refer to each such document as amended or supplemented to the third Business Day preceding the Remarketing Date. The term "Incorporated Documents" in such Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to include those filed and incorporated through the date hereof. References to issuance and/or sale of Debentures shall be deemed to refer to remarketing of the Subject Debentures. 4. Purchase and Sale; Remarketing Fee. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth or incorporated herein, the Remarketing Agent agrees to use its reasonable efforts to remarket, and to purchase from the registered holder or holders thereof in the manner specified in Section 5 hereof, the principal amount of the Subject Debentures set forth in Schedule I hereto at a purchase price not less than _____% of [the Applicable Treasury Portfolio Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Subject Debentures] [the aggregate principal amount of such Debentures, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon]. In connection therewith under the terms of the Debentures, the registered holder or holders thereof have agreed, in the manner specified in Section 5 hereof, to pay to the Remarketing Agent a Remarketing Fee equal to an amount determined by agreement of FPL Group, FPL Group Capital and the Remarketing Agent, which shall not exceed ____ basis points (.____%) of [the Applicable Treasury Portfolio Price] [the aggregate principal amount of the remarketed Debentures], from any amount received from such Remarketing in excess of [the Applicable Treasury Portfolio Price] [the aggregate principal amount of such remarketed Debentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon]. If fewer than all of the Subject Debentures are remarketed in accordance with the terms hereof, the Remarketing shall be deemed to have failed as to all Subject Debentures. 5. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of payment for the remarketed Subject Debentures and payment of the Remarketing Fee shall be made on the Remarketing Closing Date (as defined in Schedule I hereto) at the location and time specified in Schedule I hereto (or such later date not later than five Business Days after such date as the Remarketing Agent shall designate), which date and time may be postponed by agreement among the Remarketing Agent, FPL Group, FPL Group Capital and the registered holder or holders of the Subject Debentures. Delivery of the Subject Debentures to be remarketed shall be made by the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent, as applicable, to the Remarketing Agent on the fourth Business Day immediately preceding [_________, 200__] [the Purchase Contract Settlement Date]. Upon a successful Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent may deduct the Remarketing Fee from any amount of such Remarketing proceeds in excess of the [Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price] [aggregate principal amount of such remarketed Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,] or if the remarketed Debentures are represented by a Global Security, payment of the Remarketing Fee may be made by any method of transfer agreed upon by the Remarketing Agent and the Depositary for the Debentures under the Indenture. If the Debentures are not represented by a Global Security, certificates for the Debentures shall be registered in such names and denominations as the Remarketing Agent may request, and FPL Group agrees to have such certificates available for inspection, packaging and checking by the Remarketing Agent in New York, New York not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the Remarketing Closing Date.

Termination. This agreement may be terminated by the Remarketing Agent by delivering written notice thereof to FPL Group and FPL Group Capital, at any time prior to [_________, 200__] [the Purchase Contract Settlement Date] if after the date hereof and at or prior to [_________, 200__] [the Purchase Contract Settlement Date]: (a) (i) there shall have occurred any general suspension of trading in securities on The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (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 Group or FPL Group 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 new material outbreak of hostilities, including, but not limited to, an escalation of hostilities which existed prior to the date of this agreement or other national or international calamity or crisis, the effect of any such event specified in (i) or (ii) above on the financial markets of the United States shall be such as to make it impracticable for the Remarketing Agent to enforce contracts for the remarketing of the Subject Debentures; 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 or any securities of FPL Group Capital which are of the same class as the Debentures by either [Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's")] or [Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, a division of McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

This agreement may also be terminated at any time prior to the [_________, 200__] [the Purchase Contract Settlement Date], if in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent the subject matter of any amendment or supplement to the A-7 Registration Statement or the Prospectus prepared and furnished by FPL Group and FPL Group Capital reflects a material adverse change in the business, properties or financial condition of FPL Group and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or FPL Group Capital and its subsidiaries taken as a whole which renders it either inadvisable to proceed with such remarketing, if any, or inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Subject Debentures to be remarketed hereunder. Any termination of this agreement pursuant to this Section 7 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in subsections ___ and ___ of Section __ hereof. 8.
