If the remarketing is successful, the interest rate on the Debentures will be reset to a rate that will enable the Debentures to be remarketed at a price equal to the sum of the Remarketing Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price, the Separate Debentures Purchase Price and the Remarketing Fee (all terms as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement). The reset rate and the subsequent interest payment dates will be established on the date of the successful remarketing and become effective on the third business day following the date of the successful remarketing. The Remarketing Fee will be up to 0.25 percent of the sum of the Remarketing Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price and the Separate Debentures Purchase Price.

Upon a successful remarketing, the proceeds of the remarketing of the Debentures that were components of the Corporate Units will be used to purchase a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities (or principal or interest strips thereof), which will be substituted for the Debentures and pledged to secure the Corporate Units holders' obligation to purchase NextEra Energy common stock on June 1, 2012, pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement. The proceeds from the remarketing of any Debentures that are not a component of Corporate Units and whose holders elect to include some or all of those Debentures in the remarketing will be paid to such holders.
