Notes have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to the Indenture, other than any such Series E Senior Notes in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that such Series E Senior Notes are held by
a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Series E Senior Notes are valid obligations of the Company; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Series E Senior Notes have given any

annum until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name the Series E Senior Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of principal as provided herein will be paid
to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose

registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee (in
accordance with Section 307 of the Original Indenture), notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Series E Senior Notes 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 Series E Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Original Indenture.

 
Payments of interest on the Series E Senior
Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Series E Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date
on which interest is payable on the Series E Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any
such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
 
Payment of the principal and interest on the Series E Senior Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent 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, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any Series E Senior Notes being made upon surrender of such
Series E Senior Notes to the Paying Agent. Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen
(16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. In the event that any date on which principal and interest is payable on the Series E Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal and interest payable on
such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

SECTION 105.    Global Securities.    The Series E Senior
Notes will be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary (which shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Series E
Senior Notes represented by such Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Series E Senior Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary
to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee. 
 
Owners of beneficial interests in such a Global Security will not be considered the Holders thereof for any
purpose under the Indenture, and no Global Security representing a 
 

5 









Series E Senior Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of
the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee or except as described below. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary. 
 
A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series E Senior
Notes registered in the names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall
have been appointed by the Company within 90 days of receipt by the Company of such notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so
registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days after it becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall
be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Series E Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. 
 
SECTION
106.    Redemption.    The Series E Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, and at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 
 
(i)    100% of the principal amount of
Series E Senior Notes then Outstanding to be so redeemed, or 
 
(ii)    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to
the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus twenty-five basis points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker, 
 
plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the Redemption Date. 
 
Unless
the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Series E Senior Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 
The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third
Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 
 
In
the event of the redemption of the Series E Senior Notes in part only, a new Series E Senior Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name or names of the Holders thereof upon surrender thereof. 
 
Notice of redemption shall be given as provided in Section
1104 of the Original Indenture.

such interest shall be payable on demand. 
 
SECTION 109.    Paying Agent.    The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent with respect to the Series E Senior Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 
SECTION
110.    Limitation on Liens.    The Company will not, while any of the Series E Senior Notes remain Outstanding, create, or suffer to be created or to exist, any Lien upon any Principal Property of the
Company or upon any shares of stock of any Material Subsidiary of the Company, whether such Principal Property is, or shares of stock are, now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, unless it shall
make effective provision whereby the Series E Senior Notes then Outstanding shall be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with any and all indebtedness for borrowed money thereby secured so long as any such indebtedness shall be so secured;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be construed to prevent the Company from creating, or from suffering to be created or to exist, any Liens, or any agreements, with respect to:

which transfers or leases all or substantially all of its properties to the Company), or conditional sales agreements or other title retention agreements and leases in the nature of title retention agreements with respect to any property hereafter
acquired; provided, however, that no such Lien shall extend to or cover any other property of the Company;

to such mortgages, including, without limitation, mortgages to secure indebtedness of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type; 

 

	 	(4)	 	indebtedness which may be issued by the Company in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company with or into
any other Person (which may be an Affiliate of the Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company) in exchange for or otherwise in substitution for secured indebtedness of such Person (“Third Party Debt”) which by its terms (i) is
secured by a mortgage on all or a portion of the property of such Person, (ii) prohibits secured indebtedness from being incurred by such Person, unless the Third Party Debt shall be secured equally and ratably with such secured indebtedness or
(iii) prohibits secured indebtedness from being incurred by such Person; 

 

	 	(5)	 	indebtedness of any Person which is required to be assumed by the Company in connection with a consolidation or merger of such Person, with respect to which

development or improvement and commencement of full commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price or cost thereof; provided that in the case of such construction,
development or improvement the Liens shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Company other than theretofore unimproved real property;

replacement, extension or renewal) of the indebtedness secured thereby; provided that such replacement, extension or renewal is limited to all or a part of the same property that secured the Lien replaced, extended or renewed (plus improvements
thereon or additions or accessions thereto); or 

 

	 	(9)	 	any other Lien not excepted by the foregoing clauses (1) through (8); provided that immediately after the creation or assumption of such Lien, the aggregate
principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company secured by all Liens created or assumed under the provisions of this clause (9) shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the common shareholders’ equity of the Company, as
shown on its consolidated balance sheet for the accounting period occurring immediately prior to the creation or assumption of such Lien.

Dominion Resources, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Virginia (herein called the “Company”,
which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [Cede & Co.], or registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of
                                        
                 Dollars
($                        ) on March 15, 2033 and to pay interest thereon from March 6, 2003 or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2003, at the rate of 6.30% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or

payment, provided that any
principal, and any such installment of interest, that is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 6.30% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are
paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose
name this Series E Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Interest Payment
Date; provided, that with respect to Series E Senior Notes that are not represented by one or more Global Securities, the Regular Record Date shall be the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Series E Senior Note (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 whereof shall be given to Holders of Series E Senior Notes not less than 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 on which the Series E Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 
Payments of interest on the Series E Senior Notes will include
interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Series E Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest
is payable on the Series E Senior Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in
each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 
 
Payment of the principal of and interest on this Series E Senior Note will be made at the office of the Paying Agent, in the Borough of
Manhattan, City and 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, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any Series
E Senior Note being made upon surrender of such Series E Senior Note to such office or agency; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest, subject to such surrender where applicable, may be made (i) by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee
at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. 
 
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Series E Senior Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at
this place.

REVERSE OF
SERIES E SENIOR NOTE 
 
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, dated as of June 1, 2000, as heretofore supplemented and amended and as further
supplemented by a Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 2003 (collectively, as amended or supplemented from time to time, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such
instrument), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to
the Indenture 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 and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (the “Series E Senior Notes”) which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount. 
 
The Series E Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture. 
 
If an Event of
Default with respect to Series E Senior Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Series E Senior Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Series E Senior
Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Series E Senior Note and of any Series E Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Series E Senior Note. 
 
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Series E Senior Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Series E Senior Notes, the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Series E Senior Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable
indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Series E Senior Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any 
 

6 









suit instituted by the Holder of this Series E Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or
interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein. 
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Series E Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Series E Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Series E Senior Note is
registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Series E Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Series E Senior Note are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Series E Senior Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 
The Series E Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and
any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Series E Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Series E Senior Notes having the same Stated Maturity
and of like tenor of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder upon surrender of the Series E Senior Note or Series E Senior Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company. 
 
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 
Prior to due presentment of this Series E Senior Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Series E Senior Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. 
 
All terms used in this
Series E Senior Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
