Andrew D.

The Trustee will initially be the Security Registrar and the Paying Agent for the Debentures of the Sixteenth Series.

(B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as a result of a change in law occurring after the date of this certificate, the Holders of such Debentures of the Sixteenth Series, or the applicable portion of the principal amount thereof, will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, at the same times and in the same manner as if such satisfaction and discharge had not been effectuated.

(C) the commencement by the Guarantor of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding seeking for the Guarantor to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Guarantor to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of itself in a case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Guarantor, or the filing by the Guarantor of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or the consent by the Guarantor to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Guarantor in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the authorization of such action by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor.

11. With respect to the Debentures of the Sixteenth Series, each of the following events shall be an additional Event of Default under the Indenture:

(A) the consolidation of the Guarantor with or merger of the Guarantor into any other Person, or the conveyance or other transfer or lease by the Guarantor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless

(a) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or other transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of the Guarantor substantially as an entirety shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement; and

[FORM OF FACE OF DEBENTURE]

FPL GROUP CAPITAL INC

FLOATING RATE DEBENTURES, SERIES DUE NOVEMBER 9, 2012

FPL GROUP CAPITAL 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), for value received, hereby promises to pay to

or registered assigns, the principal sum of ____________________ Dollars on November 9, 2012 and to pay interest on said principal sum quarterly on February 9, May 9, August 9 and November 9 of each year commencing February 9, 2010 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) at the Interest Rate (as defined below) until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Securities of this series will accrue from and including November 10, 2009, to and 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 (each, an “Interest Period”). No interest will accrue on the Securities with respect to the day on which the Securities mature. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof (the “Indenture”), be payable to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for such interest installment which shall be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date so long as the Securities are held by a securities depository in book-entry form; provided that if the Securities are not held by a securities depository in book-entry form, the Regular Record Date will be the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day next preceding such Interest Payment Date; and provided further that interest payable at Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of this Security on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, 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 be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, 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.

The Securities of this series shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the Three-Month LIBOR Rate (as defined below), plus 40 basis points. The Interest Rate for the period from November 10, 2009, the date of original issuance, to the first Interest Payment Date was determined on November 6, 2009. The Interest Rate on the Securities of this series for each subsequent Interest Period will be reset quarterly on the related LIBOR Rate Reset Date (as defined below).

If any Interest Payment Date, other than a Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Securities of this series, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, except that if such next Business Day occurs in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If a Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Securities of this series falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal will be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay), and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after a Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity. If any LIBOR Rate Reset Date falls on a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day (as defined below), the LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be postponed to the next day that is a LIBOR Business Day, except that if such next LIBOR Business Day occurs in the next succeeding calendar month, the LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be the immediately preceding LIBOR Business Day. The Interest Rate in effect on any LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on that date and the Interest Rate applicable to any other day will be the Interest Rate as reset on the immediately preceding LIBOR Rate Reset Date. The provisions of this paragraph shall supersede the provisions of Section 113 of the Indenture to the extent the provisions are inconsistent.

“Calculation Agent” means a banking institution or trust company to be appointed by the Company to act as calculation agent, initially being The Bank of New York Mellon.

“LIBOR Business Day” means any Business Day on which dealings in deposits in United States Dollars are transacted in the London Inter-Bank Market.

“LIBOR Interest Determination Date” means (i) the second LIBOR Business Day preceding each LIBOR Rate Reset Date, or (ii) November 6, 2009, in the case of the initial Interest Period.

“LIBOR Rate Reset Date” means, subject to the paragraph immediately preceding the definition of “Calculation Agent” set forth above, the 9th day of February, May, August and November of each year continuing until Maturity, commencing on February 9, 2010.

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display designated as “LIBOR01” on Reuters 3000 Xtra (or such other page as may replace “LIBOR01” on such service or such other service displaying the London Inter-Bank offered rates of major banks, as may replace Reuters 3000 Xtra).

“Three-Month LIBOR Rate” means the rate determined in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) On the related LIBOR Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent or its affiliate shall determine the Three-Month LIBOR Rate, being the rate for deposits in United States Dollars having a three-month maturity which appears on the Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Interest Determination Date; or

(2) If no rate appears on the Reuters Page LIBOR01 on the LIBOR Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent or its affiliate will request the principal London offices of four major reference banks in the London Inter-Bank Market (“Reference Banks”) to provide it with their offered quotations for deposits in United States Dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the applicable LIBOR Rate Reset Date, to prime banks in the London Inter-Bank Market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States Dollars in that market at that time in a principal amount comparable to the aggregate principal amount of the then-Outstanding Debentures. If at least two quotations are provided, then the Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be the average (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundredth (0.01) of a percent) of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then the Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be the average (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundredth (0.01) of a percent) of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent or its affiliate (“Major Banks”) for loans in United States Dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States Dollars in that market at that time in a principal amount comparable to the aggregate principal amount of the then-Outstanding Debentures. If the banks selected by the Calculation Agent or its affiliate are not providing quotations in the manner described by this paragraph, the rate for the quarterly interest period following the LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the rate already in effect on that LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

The Interest Rate for any Interest Period will at no time be higher than the maximum rate then permitted by applicable law.

All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or ..09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

Absent willful misconduct, bad faith or manifest error, the Calculation Agent’s or its affiliate’s determination of the Three-Month LIBOR Rate and its calculation of the applicable Interest Rate for each Interest Period will be final and binding on the Company, the Trustee, the Calculation Agent and Holders of the Securities of this series. The Holders of the Securities of this series may obtain the Interest Rate for the current and preceding Interest Period by writing the Calculation Agent at The Bank of New York Mellon, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, or any successor appointed by the Company.

The Calculation Agent shall, as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m., London time, on each Interest Determination Date, determine the Interest Rate and calculate the amount of interest payable on the Securities of this series in respect of the relevant Interest Period (the “Interest Amount”). The Interest Amount shall be calculated by multiplying the Interest Rate for that Interest Period by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the actual number of days elapsed during such Interest Period (determined by including the first day of the Interest Period and excluding the last day), and the denominator of which will be 360, and by multiplying the result by the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series. The determination of the Interest Amount by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of willful misconduct, bad faith or manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding on all concerned. None of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, beneficiaries, employees or affiliates) shall have any liability to any Person for (i) the selection of the Reference Banks or the Major Banks or (ii) any inability of the Calculation Agent to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or the Major Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Promptly upon the determination of the Interest Rate and the calculation of the Interest Amount, the Calculation Agent will notify the Trustee of such Interest Rate and Interest Amount.

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 The City of New York, 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 hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed in New York, New York.
