MIDAMERICAN ENERGY COMPANY

4.25% First Mortgage Bond due 2046


 


This global Bond is one of, and a global security
which represents Bonds which are part of, the duly authorized 4.25% First Mortgage Bonds due 2046 of the Company (herein called
the “Bonds”), issued under an Indenture dated as of September 9, 2013, as amended and supplemented (herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto 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, and of the terms upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.


 


Interest on this global Bond will be payable
on the Interest Payment Date or Interest Payment Dates as specified on the face hereof and, in either case, at Maturity. Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, payments on this global Bond with respect to any particular Interest Payment Date, redemption
date or the Maturity Date will include interest accrued from and including the applicable Original Issue Date, or from and including
the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to but excluding the particular Interest
Payment Date, redemption date or the Maturity Date. Interest on this global Bond will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months.


 


All percentages resulting from any calculation
with respect to this global Bond will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with
five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from any such calculation
with respect to this global Bond will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).


 


“Business Day” means, unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof, any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that in the City of New York, New York is not
a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. In any case when any Interest
Payment Date, redemption date, or Maturity Date of any Bond shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding
any other provision of the Indenture or of the Bonds) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment
Date, redemption date or at the Maturity Date, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date, redemption date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.


 


This global Bond is secured under the Company’s
Mortgage, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Financing Statement between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A., as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Mortgage”). Reference is made to the Mortgage for
a description of the property mortgaged and pledged and the nature and extent of the security and to the Intercreditor and Collateral
Trust Agreement among the Company, the Trustee and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as collateral trustee, and the
Indenture for the rights of the holders of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereof. Reference is made to the Indenture
and the Mortgage for the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are secured and the circumstances under which additional bonds
may be issued.



    	 



    	



    

This global Bond will be subject to redemption
at the option of the Company on any date in whole or from time to time in part in increments of $2,000 or integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof, at the redemption prices specified in an annex attached to this global Bond, plus accrued interest on
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed to the redemption date, but payments due with respect to this global Bond prior to
the redemption date will be paid to the Person in whose name this global Bond is registered at the close of business on the relevant
Record Date specified on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. The Company may exercise such option by causing the
Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture. In the event of redemption of this global Bond in part only, this global Bond will be cancelled
and a new global Bond representing the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof. This global Bond
is not subject to a sinking fund.


 


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 to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series that would be affected thereby. The Indenture also
provides that the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all affected series may on
behalf of the Holders of all Bonds of such series waive certain existing Events of Default and their consequences. Any such consent
or waiver of the Holder of any Bond shall bind every future Holder of the same Bond and the Holder of every Bond issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to
be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Bond.


 


As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions
and limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of
all series shall have any right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.


 


THIS GLOBAL BOND IS A GLOBAL BOND REGISTERED
IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR THE INDIVIDUAL
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY, THIS GLOBAL BOND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE 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 BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY
SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.

Bond notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this global Bond or if at any time the Depositary
for this global Bond shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to this global Bond. If a
successor Depositary for this global Bond is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice
or becomes aware of such condition, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of definitive Bonds of this series, shall authenticate and deliver Bonds of this series in definitive form in an aggregate

Bond. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery
of definitive Bonds of this series, shall authenticate and deliver, Bonds of this series in definitive registered form without
coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this global Bond, in

consent of Holders of the Bonds, create and issue further Bonds having the same terms and conditions as the Bonds in all respects,
except for the Original Issue Date, issue price and, in some circumstances, the initial interest accrual date and initial interest
payment date. Additional Bonds issued in this manner will be consolidated with, and form a single series with, the Bonds and shall
thereafter be deemed Bonds for all purposes.

of this global Bond or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this global Bond at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed.

and discharge of the Indenture upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions specified therein, which provisions apply
to this global Bond.

purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this global Bond and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not this global Bond be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION PROVISIONS


 


The Bonds will be redeemable, in whole or in
part, at the Company’s option at any time or from time to time prior to maturity. Prior to November 1, 2045 (the “2046
Par Call Date”), the Bonds will be redeemable, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal
to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the
sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds being redeemed that would
be due if the Maturity Date of such Bonds were the 2046 Par Call Date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued
to, but not including, the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points (the “2046 Make-Whole Amount”); plus,
in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed to the redemption date.

interest on the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed to the redemption date.


 


“Comparable Treasury Issue” means
the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
term of the Bonds to be redeemed (assuming that the Bonds matured on the 2046 Par Call Date) that would be utilized, 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 term of the Bond.


 


“Comparable Treasury Price” means,

redemption date).




    	5

redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption.
