 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 

TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY 

3.45% Notes Due 2051 
 This Note
is one of a duly authorized series of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of July 1, 1998, as amended, and as supplemented by the Sixteenth Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2021 (as such has been or shall be amended or supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes
any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of
the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the securities of the series designated on the face hereof. 

DEFINITIONS 
 The
following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings unless the context or use clearly indicates another or different meaning or intent: 

“Business Day” means any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which
banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulations to close in the City of New York, or (ii) a day on which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is closed for business. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having
a maturity comparable to the remaining term (as measured from the date of redemption) of the Notes to be redeemed calculated as if the maturity date of such series of Notes were the applicable Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”)
that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of the Notes. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means with respect to any redemption date (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if an Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all
such quotations. 
 “Depositary” shall mean The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC,
or any of their respective successors, as designated by the Company, or if all of those firms are unwilling or unable to serve as such, an independent investment and banking institution of national standing selected by the Company. 

“Interest Payment Date” means each of the dates on which interest on this Note is payable, which dates are set forth on the
face of this Note. 

  
 5 












 “Par Call Date” means the date set forth on the face of this Note
identified as the Par Call Date. 
 “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or government or any agency or political subdivision of any government. 

“Record Date” means the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the related Interest
Payment Date, provided, however, as long as the Notes are registered in the name of the Depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, the Record Date shall be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Interest Payment
Date. The Record Date shall constitute the Regular Record Date for purposes of the Original Indenture. 
 “Reference Treasury
Dealer” means (i) a primary treasury dealer selected by MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, or each of their respective affiliates and successors; provided that if any such Reference
Treasury Dealer ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) up to two Primary Treasury Dealers
selected by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to an
Independent Investment Banker at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, as of any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity
(computed as of the second Business Day immediately preceding that redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for that redemption date. 
 INTEREST RATE 

This Note will bear interest at the rate per annum (computed based on a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) identified on the face of this Note. Except for the effect of any adjustment in the Interest Payment Date as provided in the following sentence, the amount of interest payable for any
period shorter than a full six-month period for which interest is computed, will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 180-day period.
If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the payment required to be made on such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest will accrue on such payment for
the period from and after such Interest Payment Date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. 

  
 6 












 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION 

Prior to the Par Call Date, the Notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at any time, at the option of the Company, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of: 
 (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to be redeemed,
or 
 (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes then
outstanding to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (computed
based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points (0.20%)], as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker, 

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. From and after the Par Call Date, the Notes are subject to
redemption in whole or in part at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

The Company will deliver a notice of redemption at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the
Notes to be redeemed. If the Company elects to partially redeem the Notes, the Trustee will select in an appropriate manner the Notes to be redeemed (or, in the case of Notes held in global form, the Depositary will select the Notes to be redeemed
in accordance with its standard procedures). 
 Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption
date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of
any sinking fund or analogous provision. 
 TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a

 7 












 
forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering

sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

registration of transfer, the Company or the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the

time Outstanding of each series to be affected and of the Holders of 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all 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 compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. To the extent permitted by law, any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
