A-4

 



 

that time. If the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by this paragraph, the rate for the period following the LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the rate in effect on that LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

The terms “Company,” “Issuer,” “Trustee,” “Base Indenture,” and “Indenture” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the recitals to this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and the paragraph preceding such recitals.

SECTION 103Payment of Principal and Interest.  The principal of the Series D Senior Notes shall be due at the Stated Maturity. The unpaid principal amount of the Series D Senior Notes shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum determined by the Calculation Agent as described below, 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 quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name the Series D Senior Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of principal 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 name the Series D Senior Notes are 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 Base Indenture), notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Series D 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 D Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Base Indenture.

The per annum interest rate on the Series D Senior Notes will be equal to the Three Month LIBOR Rate plus 55 basis points (0.55%); provided that the per annum interest rate for the period from the Original Issue Date to the first LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be 1.771% per annum (the “Initial Interest Rate”).  The per annum interest rate shall be reset on each LIBOR Rate Reset Date.

If any LIBOR Rate Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be the next preceding Business Day. The interest rate in effect on any LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on that date.  The interest rate applicable to any other day will either be the Initial Interest Rate or the interest rate as reset on the immediately preceding LIBOR Rate Reset Date.

Payments of interest on the Series D Senior Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Series D Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis the actual number of days in the relevant quarterly period (including the first day of the quarterly period and excluding the last day of the quarterly period) divided by 360. If any Interest Payment Date, other than the Stated Maturity, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that 

A-5

 



 

is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Stated Maturity 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 no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Stated Maturity.

Accrued interest on any Series D Senior Note will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the Series D Senior Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to that day by 360.

Payment of the principal and interest on the Series D 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 D Senior Notes, or upon repurchase being made upon surrender of such Series D 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.

SECTION 104Denominations.  The Series D Senior Notes may be issued in denominations of $2,000, or any greater integral multiple of $1,000.

SECTION 105Global Securities.  The Series D Senior Notes offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A will be initially issued in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Rule 144A Global Security”), and the Series D Senior Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S will be initially issued in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Regulation S Global Security”), in each case 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 D Senior Notes represented by such Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Series D Senior Notes in definitive form registered in names other than the Depositary or its nominee. 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 Series D 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-6

 



 

A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series D 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 ninety (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 ninety (90) days after it becomes aware of such cessation, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion, and subject to the procedures of the Depositary, determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, in which case Series D Senior Notes in definitive form will be printed and delivered to the Depositary, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Series D Senior Notes. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Series D Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

SECTION 106Redemption.  The Series D Senior Notes shall not be redeemable at any time prior to the Stated Maturity.

SECTION 107Sinking Fund; Conversion.  The Series D Senior Notes shall not have a sinking fund. The Series D Senior Notes are not convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Securities or any other securities.

SECTION 108Additional Interest on Overdue Amounts.  Any principal of and installment of interest on the Series D Senior Notes that is overdue shall bear interest at the then applicable interest rate (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.

SECTION 109Paying Agent; Security Registrar.  The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent and Security Registrar with respect to the Series D Senior Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being the Corporate Trust Office. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Security Registrar without prior notice to Holders of the Series D Senior Notes, and the Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Security Registrar.

A-7

 



 

THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. 

THE HOLDER OF THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (II) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (III) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (V) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT IS ACQUIRING THE NOTE FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF SUCH AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR OFFER OR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (V) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE. 

THE HOLDER AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE OR AN INTEREST HEREIN IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. 

THE HOLDER AGREES THAT, BEFORE THE HOLDER OFFERS, SELLS OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERS THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE, THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE THE HOLDER OF THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE TO DELIVER A WRITTEN OPINION, CERTIFICATIONS AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION THAT IT REASONABLY REQUIRES TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES.

A-8

 



 

AS USED IN THIS SERIES D SENIOR NOTE, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “U.S. PERSON” AND “UNITED STATES” HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY RULE 902 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 

 

SECTION 203Removal of Restricted Legend.  The Company may instruct the Trustee in writing to cancel any Series D Senior Note and, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate a replacement Series D Senior Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction, if the Company determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require) that a Series D Senior Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) and that the Restricted Legend is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of such Series D Senior Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act; provided, however, that in such circumstances, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate prior to authenticating any such replacement Series D Senior Note.

SECTION 204Registration of Transfer or Exchange.  The registration of transfer or exchange of any Series D Senior Note (or a beneficial interest therein) that bears the Restricted Legend may only be made in compliance with the provisions of the Restricted Legend and as set forth below. 

(i)Prior to and including the fortieth (40th) day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Series D Senior Notes and the Original Issue Date (such period through and including such fortieth (40th) day, the “Distribution Compliance Period”), transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Rule 144A Global Security of that series will be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest to the effect that such transfer is being made to a Person whom the transferor reasonably believes is purchasing for its own account or accounts as to which it exercises sole investment discretion and is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and the requirements of applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. 

(ii)Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery through the Regulation S Global Security of that series, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, will be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg. 

A-9

 



 

(iii)Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security of that series will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in the initial Global Security of that series and will become an interest in the other Global Security of that series and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security of that series for as long as it remains such an interest. 

 

SECTION 205Preservation of Information.  The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the registration of transfer or exchange of a Series D Senior Note (or a beneficial interest therein) in accordance with its customary policy, and the Company will have the right to request copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee.

SECTION 206Acknowledgment of Restrictions; Indemnification; No Obligation of Trustee.  By its acceptance of any Series D Senior Note bearing the Restricted Legend, each Holder of such a Series D Senior Note acknowledges the restrictions on registrations of transfer or exchange of such Series D Senior Note set forth in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and in the Restricted Legend and agrees that it will register the transfer or exchange of such Series D Senior Note only as provided in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture. The Security Registrar shall not register a transfer or exchange of any Series D Senior Note unless such transfer or exchange complies with the restrictions on transfer or exchange of such Series D Senior Note set forth in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture. In connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Series D Senior Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Series D Senior Notes to furnish the Security Registrar or the Company such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such registration of transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Security Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Company with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

The Security Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to the Indenture in accordance with its customary policy. The Company shall have the right to request copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of written notice to the Security Registrar. 

Each Holder of a Series D Senior Note agrees to indemnify the Company, the Security Registrar and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Series D Senior Note in violation of any provision of this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or state securities law. 

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer or exchange imposed under this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any registrations of transfer or exchange of any interest in any Series D Senior Note (including any transfers between or among members of, or participants in, the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence

Dominion Energy, Inc. (formerly Dominion Resources, Inc.), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Virginia (herein called the “Company” or “Issuer”, which terms include 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 ($_____________)] [subject to the increases and decreases set forth in Schedule I hereto]** on June 1, 2019 and to pay interest thereon from June 9, 2017 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2017, at a floating rate per annum determined by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, or its successors as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”) in accordance with the procedures referred to herein, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, provided that any principal, and any such installment of interest, that is overdue shall bear interest at the then applicable interest rate (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 the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid to the Person in whose name this Series D Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest; provided that the interest payable at Stated Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. The Regular Record Date shall be the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, that with respect to Series D Senior Notes that are not represented by one or more Global Securities, the Regular Record Date shall be the close of business on the fifteenth (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 D 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 D 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 on which the Series D Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

The per annum interest rate on the Series D Senior Notes will be equal to the Three Month LIBOR Rate plus 55 basis points (0.55%); provided that the per annum interest rate for the period from the Original Issue Date to the first LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be _____% per annum (the “Initial Interest Rate”).  The per annum interest rate shall be reset on each LIBOR Rate Reset Date.

If any LIBOR Rate Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be the next preceding Business Day. The interest rate in effect on any LIBOR Rate Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on that date.  The interest rate applicable to any other day will either be the Initial Interest Rate or the interest rate as reset on the immediately preceding LIBOR Rate Reset Date.

Payments of interest on the Series D Senior Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Series D Senior Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant quarterly period (including the first day of the quarterly period and excluding the last day of the quarterly period) divided by 360. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Series D 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), except that if that business day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding business day, 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 D 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 D Senior Note, or upon repurchase being made upon surrender of such Series D 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 D 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.

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

[REVERSE OF 2017 SERIES D Floating Rate 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, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as heretofore supplemented and as further supplemented by a Twelfth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 1, 2017 (the “Twelfth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, as it may be hereafter supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), by and between the Company and the Trustee, 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 D Senior Notes”) which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount.

The Series D Senior Notes are not redeemable at any time prior to the Stated Maturity.

If an Event of Default with respect to Series D Senior Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Series D 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 for the series of Securities affected, 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 D Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Series D Senior Note and of any Series D 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 D Senior Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Series D 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 D Senior Notes, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Series D 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 indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Series D Senior Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The 

A-6

 



 

foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Series D 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 D 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 D 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 D Senior Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Series D 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 D 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 D Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Series D Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any greater integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Series D Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Series D 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 D Senior Note or Series D 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 D 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 D 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 D Senior Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
