calculation, a scheduled payment of such principal on June 15, 2014, discounted to the redemption date on a quarterly basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points, as
calculated by an Independent Investment Banker.

 GENERAL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

which amount shall be set forth in any written orders of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Junior Subordinated Notes pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Base Indenture and Section 7.1 hereof. Additional Junior Subordinated
Notes without limitation as to amount, and without the consent of the holders of the then Outstanding Junior Subordinated Notes, may also be authenticated and delivered in the manner provided in Section 2.1 of the Base Indenture. Any such
additional Junior Subordinated Notes will have the same Stated Maturity and other terms (except, if applicable, the initial Interest Payment Date and initial interest accrual date) as those initially issued and shall be consolidated with and part of
the same series of Junior Subordinated Notes as the Junior Subordinated Notes initially issued under this Third Supplemental and Amending Indenture. 
 3.2 Maturity. The maturity date of the Junior Subordinated Notes initially will be June 15, 2064, but will be automatically extended, except for any portion of the principal amount of the Junior
Subordinated Notes that shall have been earlier redeemed or with respect to which notice of redemption shall have been given to the holders of such Junior Subordinated Notes, for additional quarterly periods on each of
March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, beginning on June 15, 2014 through and including March 15, 2019, without notice to, or consent of, the holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes. Subject to the

Junior Subordinated Notes that shall have been earlier redeemed or with respect to which notice of redemption shall have been given to the holders of such Junior Subordinated Notes. The final maturity date of the Junior Subordinated Notes will be no
later than June 15, 2079, on which date the entire principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Notes will become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest. The Stated Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes shall mean the
maturity date of the Junior Subordinated Notes as extended in accordance with this Section 3.2, which may not be otherwise shortened or extended. 
  

 7 








 With respect to each extension beginning on June 15, 2019, the following shall constitute the
extension conditions: 
 (a) On the applicable extension date the ratings on the Junior Subordinated Notes satisfy at least two of the three
following ratings criteria: (i) at least Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), (ii) at least BBB- by Standard & Poors Ratings Services (“Standard & Poor’s”) and (iii) at
least BBB- by Fitch Ratings Ltd (“Fitch”), or, if Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch (or their respective successors) are no longer in existence, the equivalent rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization; and 
 (b) During the three years prior to the applicable extension date: 
 (i) no event of default has occurred in respect of any of the Company’s then outstanding indebtedness for money borrowed; and 
 (ii) the Company did not have (and does not have at the extension date) any outstanding deferred payments under any of its then-outstanding preferred
stock or debt securities. 
 3.3 Form and Payment; Minimum Transfer Restriction. 
 (a) The Junior Subordinated Notes shall be issued in fully registered definitive form without coupons in minimum denominations of $25 and integral
multiples of $25 in excess thereof. Principal and interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes will be payable, the transfer of such Junior Subordinated Notes will be registrable and such Junior Subordinated Notes will be exchangeable for Junior
Subordinated Notes bearing identical terms and provisions at the Corporate Trust Office of the Series Trustee; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at
such address as shall appear in the Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Register, provided that proper transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent by the Record Date.
The Register for the Junior Subordinated Notes shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Series Trustee, and the Series Trustee is hereby appointed registrar and Paying Agent for the Junior Subordinated Notes. 
 (b) The Junior Subordinated Notes may be transferred or exchanged only in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof,
and any attempted transfer, sale or other disposition of Junior Subordinated Notes in a denomination of less than $25 shall be deemed to be void and of no legal effect whatsoever. Any such transferee shall be deemed not to be the holder of such
Junior Subordinated Notes for any purpose, including but not limited to the receipt of payments in respect of such Junior Subordinated Notes and such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in such Junior Subordinated Notes.

  

 8 








 3.4 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Junior Subordinated Notes; Restrictions on Transfers;
Depositary. The Junior Subordinated Notes will be issued to the holders in accordance with the following procedures: 
 (a) So long as
Junior Subordinated Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless required by law, all Junior Subordinated Notes that are so eligible will be represented by one or more Junior Subordinated Notes in global form (a
“Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. Except as provided in Section 3.4(c) below, beneficial owners of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have Definitive Note Certificates
registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Note Certificates and will not be registered holders of such Global Notes. 
 (b) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Indenture and the
procedures and standing instructions of the Depositary and the Series Trustee shall make appropriate endorsements to reflect increases or decreases in principal amounts of such Global Notes. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 3.4(c)), a Global Note may not be
exchanged in whole or in part for Junior Subordinated Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary (A) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act and no successor Depositary has been appointed by the Company
within 90 days after its receipt of such notice or its becoming aware of such ineligibility, (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of
Default under the Indenture, with respect to such Junior Subordinated Note, or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depositary, instructs the Series Trustee to exchange such Global Note for a Junior
Subordinated Note that is not a Global Note (in which case such exchange (subject to such procedures) shall be effected by the Series Trustee). 
 The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. Initially, the Global Notes shall be registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Series Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co. 
 Definitive Note Certificates issued in exchange for all or a part of a Global Note pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from
its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Series Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Series Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Note Certificates to the person in whose names such Definitive Note Certificates
are so registered. 
  

 9 








 So long as Junior Subordinated Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, (i) the registrar
for the Junior Subordinated Notes and the Series Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the clearing agency for all purposes of the Indenture relating to such Global Notes as the sole holder of the Junior Subordinated Notes evidenced by such Global
Notes and shall have no obligations to the holders of beneficial interests in such Global Notes; and (ii) the rights of the holders of beneficial interests in such Global Notes shall be exercised only through the clearing agency and shall be
limited to those established by law and agreements between such holders and the clearing agency and/or the participants in the clearing agency. 
 At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been paid, redeemed, exchanged, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Series Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and
instructions of the Depositary. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Note Certificates, redeemed by the Company pursuant to Article III or canceled, or transferred for part of a Global
Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions of the Depositary be reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by, or at the
direction of, the Series Trustee to reflect such reduction or increase. 
 3.5 Interest. 
 (a) Each Junior Subordinated Note will bear interest at the rate of 8.375% per annum from the Original Issue Date. Subject to the Company’s
right to defer interest payments described in Article V below, interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. If interest payments are deferred or otherwise
not paid, they will accrue and compound until paid at the annual rate of 8.375% per annum, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. The interest so payable will be paid to the Person in whose name such Junior Subordinated Note is registered, at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at Maturity
will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for, and that is not deferred pursuant to Article V hereof, will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Record
Date and may either be paid (i) to the Person in whose name such Junior Subordinated Note (or any Junior Subordinated Note issued upon registration of transfer or exchange thereof) is registered at the close of business on the record date for
the payment of such defaulted interest established in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture or (ii) at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the
Junior Subordinated Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange. The “Record Date” for payment of interest will be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Interest Payment Date, unless
such Junior Subordinated Note is registered to a holder other than the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, in which case the Record Date for payment of interest will be the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not a Business Day. 
 (b) If an Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity
of the Junior Subordinated Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and 

  

 10 








 
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 Interest Payment
Date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity, as applicable. 
 3.6 Events of Default. An Event of Default as defined in the Indenture
shall be an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes provided that the nonpayment of interest for so long as and to the extent that interest is permitted to be deferred pursuant to Article V herein shall not be deemed to be a
default in the payment of interest for the purposes of Article VI of the Base Indenture and shall not otherwise be deemed an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any
other remedies that may be available to the Series Trustee or the holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes, no breach by the Company of any covenant or obligation under the Indenture or the terms of the Junior Subordinated Notes shall be an Event of
Default except those that are specifically identified as an Event of Default under the Indenture. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 REDEMPTION OF THE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES 
 4.1 Optional Redemption by Company. The Company shall have the option to redeem the Junior Subordinated Notes: 
 (a) in whole
or in part at any time before June 15, 2014 at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but not including, the redemption date; 
 (b) in whole or in part at any time before June 15, 2014, if a Rating Agency Event occurs, at a redemption price equal to the Rating Agency Event
Make-Whole Amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but not including, the redemption date; 
 (c) in whole, but not in part, at any
time before June 15, 2014, upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Junior Subordinate Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but not including,
the redemption date; and 
 (d) in whole or in part at any time on or after June 15, 2014, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
outstanding principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but not including, the redemption date. 
 The applicable redemption price shall be paid prior to 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such redemption, provided that the Company shall deposit with the Series Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the applicable redemption
price by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such redemption price is to be paid. The Company will notify the Series Trustee of the amount of any applicable Make-Whole Amount or Rating Agency Event Make-Whole Amount promptly after the
calculation thereof, and the Series Trustee will not be responsible for such calculation. 
 4.2 Notice of Redemption. Subject to
Article III of the Base Indenture, notice of any redemption pursuant to this Article III will be mailed at least 20 days but not more than 60 days 
  

 11 








 
before the redemption date to each holder of Junior Subordinated Notes to be redeemed at such holder’s registered address. Unless the Company defaults
in payment of the applicable redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on such Junior Subordinated Notes called for redemption. 
 ARTICLE V 
 OPTION TO DEFER INTEREST PAYMENTS 
 5.1 Option to Defer Interest Payments. So long as there is no Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes under the Base
Indenture, the Company, at its option, may, on one or more occasions, defer payment of all or part of the current and accrued interest otherwise due on the Junior Subordinated Notes for a period of up to 10 consecutive years (each period, commencing
on the date that the first such interest payment would otherwise have been made, an “Optional Deferral Period”). A deferral of interest payments may not end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date any may not extend beyond the Stated
Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes, and the Company may not begin a new Optional Deferral Period and may not pay current interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes until it has paid all accrued interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes from
the previous Optional Deferral Period. Such accrued interest shall be payable to the persons in whose names the Junior Subordinated Notes are registered at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

 Any deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes will accrue additional interest at a rate equal to 8.375% per annum, to the
extent permitted by applicable law. Once the Company pays all deferred interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, including any additional interest accrued on the deferred interest, it shall be entitled to again defer interest payments on
the Junior Subordinated Notes as described above, but not beyond the Stated Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes. 
 Unless the Company
has paid all accrued and payable interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes and is not deferring any interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes at such time, it will not and its Subsidiaries shall not do any of the following: 
  

	 	(i)	declare or pay any dividends or distributions, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment on any of Dominion Resources, Inc’s capital stock;


  

	 	(ii)	make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any of its debt securities that rank on a parity with or junior to the Junior
Subordinated Notes (including debt securities of other series issued under the Base Indenture); or 

  

	 	(iii)	make any guarantee payments on any guarantee of debt securities if the guarantee ranks on a parity with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes. 

 However, the foregoing provisions shall not prevent or restrict the Company from making: 
 (a) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of its capital stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or
other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors, agents or consultants or a stock purchase or dividend reinvestment plan, or the satisfaction of its obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on
the date that the payment of interest is deferred requiring it to purchase, redeem or acquire its capital stock; 
  

 12 








 (b) any payment, repayment, redemption, purchase, acquisition or declaration of
dividend described in clause (i) above as a result of a reclassification of its capital stock, or the exchange or conversion of all or a portion of one class or series of its capital stock for another class or series of its capital stock;

 (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of its capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
provisions of its capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, or in connection with the settlement of stock purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred; 
 (d) dividends or distributions paid or made in its capital stock (or rights to acquire its capital stock), or repurchases,
redemptions or acquisitions of capital stock in connection with the issuance or exchange of capital stock (or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock) and distributions in connection with the settlement of
stock purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred; 
 (e) redemptions, exchanges
or repurchases of, or with respect to, any rights outstanding under a shareholder rights plan outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred or the declaration or payment thereunder of a dividend or distribution of or with respect
to rights in the future; or 
 (f) payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, any trust preferred securities, subordinated
debentures, junior subordinated debentures or junior subordinated notes, or any guarantees of any of the foregoing, in each case that rank equal in right of payment to the Junior Subordinated Notes, so long as the amount of payments made on account
of such securities or guarantees is paid on all such securities and guarantees then outstanding on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full payment to which each series of such securities and guarantees is then entitled if paid in full.

 5.2 Notice of Deferral. The Company shall give the Series Trustee written notice of its election to begin a deferral period at
least one Business Day before the Record Date for the next Interest Payment Date. The Series Trustee will forward any written notice that the Company gives of its election to begin a deferral period to the holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes.
However, the Company’s failure to pay interest on any Interest Payment Date will itself constitute the commencement of a deferral period unless the Company pays such interest payment within five Business Days after the Interest Payment Date,
whether or not the Company provides a notice of deferral.

 DOMINION RESOURCES, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia (herein referred to as the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Holder named above, the
principal sum [of              Dollars]**[specified in the Schedule annexed hereto]*** on the date of Stated Maturity, as hereafter defined, and to pay (subject to deferral as set forth
herein) interest thereon at the rate of 8.375% per annum, such interest to accrue from June 17, 2009. Subject to the Company’s right to defer interest payments described herein, interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each
March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing on September 15, 2009 (the “Interest Payment Dates”), until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. If interest payments
are deferred or otherwise not paid, they will accrue and compound until paid at the annual rate of 8.375% per annum, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
 The maturity date of this note (this “Note”) initially will be June 15, 2064, but will be automatically extended, except for any portion of the principal amount of this Note that shall have been earlier
redeemed or with respect to which notice of redemption shall have been given to the Holder hereof, for additional quarterly periods on each of March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, beginning on June 15,
2014 through and including March 15, 2019, without notice to, or consent of, the Holder of this Note. Subject to the conditions described below, the maturity date will be further automatically extended for additional quarterly periods beginning
on June 15, 2019 through and including March 15, 2029, except for any portion of the principal amount of this Note that shall have been earlier redeemed or with respect to which notice of redemption shall have been given to the Holder
hereof. The final maturity date of this Note will be no later than June 15, 2079, on which date the entire principal amount of this Note

 will become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest. The Stated Maturity of this Note shall mean
the maturity date of this Note as extended in accordance with this paragraph, and may not be otherwise shortened or extended. 
 With respect
to each extension beginning on June 15, 2019, the following shall constitute the extension conditions: 
 (a) On the applicable
extension date the ratings on the Junior Subordinated Notes satisfy at least two of the three following ratings criteria: (i) at least Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), (ii) at least BBB- by
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“Standard & Poor’s”) and (iii) at least BBB- by Fitch Ratings Ltd (“Fitch”), or, if Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch (or their
respective successors) are no longer in existence, the equivalent rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; and 
 (b) During the three years prior to the applicable extension date: 
 (i) no event of default has occurred in respect
of any of the Company’s then outstanding indebtedness for money borrowed; and 
 (ii) the Company did not have (and does
not have at the extension date) any outstanding deferred payments under any of its then-outstanding preferred stock or debt securities. 
 The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable on an Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered, at
the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided
for, and that is not deferred as described below, will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Record Date and may either be paid (i) to the Person in whose name this Note (or any Junior Subordinated Note issued upon registration of
transfer or exchange thereof) is registered at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such defaulted interest established in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture or (ii) at any time in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Junior Subordinated Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange. The “Record Date” for payment of interest
will be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Interest Payment Date, unless this Note is registered to a holder other than the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, in which case the Record Date for payment of interest
will be the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not a Business Day. 
 If an Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes 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 Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity, as applicable. 
  

 A-3 








 This Note may be presented for payment of principal and interest at the office of the Paying Agent, in
the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company (i) by check mailed to such address of the person entitled thereto as the address shall appear on the
Register of the Notes or (ii) by transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Register, provided that proper transfer instructions have been received by the Record Date. Payment of the principal and
interest on this Note shall be made 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. 
 So long as there is no Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes under the Base Indenture, the Company, at its option, may, on one
or more occasions, defer payment of all or part of the current and accrued interest otherwise due on the Junior Subordinated Notes for a period of up to 10 consecutive years (each period, commencing on the date that the first such interest payment
would otherwise have been made, an “Optional Deferral Period”). A deferral of interest payments may not end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and may not extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes, and
the Company may not begin a new Optional Deferral Period and may not pay current interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes until it has paid all accrued interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes from the previous Optional Deferral Period. Such
accrued interest shall be payable to the persons in whose names the Junior Subordinated Notes are registered at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 
 Any deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes will accrue additional interest at a rate equal to 8.375% per annum, to the extent permitted
by applicable law. Once the Company pays all deferred interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, including any additional interest accrued on the deferred interest, it shall be entitled to again defer interest payments on the Junior
Subordinated Notes as described above, but not beyond the Stated Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes. 
 Unless the Company has paid
all accrued and payable interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes and is not deferring any interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes at such time, it will not and its Subsidiaries shall not do any of the following: 
 (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment on any of Dominion
Resources, Inc’s capital stock; 
 (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any of its debt securities that rank on a parity with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes (including debt securities of other series issued under the Base Indenture); or 
 (iii) make any guarantee payments on any guarantee of debt securities if the guarantee ranks on a parity with or junior to the Junior
Subordinated Notes. 
  

 A-4 








 However, the foregoing provisions shall not prevent or restrict the Company from making: 
 (a) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of its capital stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other
similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors, agents or consultants or a stock purchase or dividend reinvestment plan, or the satisfaction of its obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the
date that the payment of interest is deferred requiring it to purchase, redeem or acquire its capital stock; 
 (b) any
payment, repayment, redemption, purchase, acquisition or declaration of dividend described in clause (i) above as a result of a reclassification of its capital stock, or the exchange or conversion of all or a portion of one class or series of
its capital stock for another class or series of its capital stock; 
 (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of
its capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of its capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, or in connection with the settlement of stock purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the payment of
interest is deferred; 
 (d) dividends or distributions paid or made in its capital stock (or rights to acquire its capital
stock), or repurchases, redemptions or acquisitions of capital stock in connection with the issuance or exchange of capital stock (or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock) and distributions in connection
with the settlement of stock purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred; 
 (e)
redemptions, exchanges or repurchases of, or with respect to, any rights outstanding under a shareholder rights plan outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred or the declaration or payment thereunder of a dividend or
distribution of or with respect to rights in the future; or 
 (f) payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, any trust
preferred securities, subordinated debentures, junior subordinated debentures or junior subordinated notes, or any guarantees of any of the foregoing, in each case that rank equal in right of payment to the Junior Subordinated Notes, so long as the
amount of payments made on account of such securities or guarantees is paid on all such securities and guarantees then outstanding on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full payment to which each series of such securities and guarantees is then
entitled if paid in full. 
 The Company shall give the Series Trustee written notice of its election to begin a deferral period at least one
Business Day before the Record Date for the next Interest Payment Date. The Series Trustee will forward any written notice that the Company gives of its election to begin a deferral period to the holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes. However,
the Company’s failure to pay interest on any Interest Payment Date will itself constitute the commencement of a deferral period unless the Company pays such interest payment within five Business Days after the Interest Payment Date, whether or
not the Company provides a notice of deferral. 
  

 A-5 








 The Notes of this series shall have an initial aggregate principal amount of up to Six Hundred Eighty
Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($687,500,000). 
 The Notes evidenced by this Certificate may be transferred or exchanged only
in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof, and any attempted transfer, sale or other disposition of Notes in a denomination of less than $25 shall be deemed to be void and of no legal effect whatsoever.

 The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by this Note, including the principal hereof and interest hereon, is, to the extent and in the
manner set forth in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations to Holders of Priority Indebtedness of the Company and each Holder of this Note, by acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by
such provisions of the Indenture and all other provisions of the Indenture. 
 This Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any
purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Series Trustee under the Indenture.

 Any consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note given as provided in the Indenture (unless effectively
revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Junior Subordinated Note issued in exchange, registration of transfer, or otherwise in lieu hereof
irrespective of whether any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Junior Subordinated Notes. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note, at the places, at the respective times, at the rates 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 Note may be registered on the Register of the
Junior Subordinated Notes upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices maintained by the Company or its agent for such purpose, duly endorsed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, but without payment of any charge other than a sum sufficient to
reimburse the Company for any tax or other governmental charge incident thereto. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Junior Subordinated Note or Notes of authorized denomination or denominations for the same aggregate principal amount will
be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. 
 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the
Series Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Series Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Note shall be registered upon the Register of the Notes of this series as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and, subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest due hereon and for all
other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Series Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any
stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as a part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 The Company and, by acceptance of this Note or a beneficial interest in this Note, each holder hereof and any person acquiring a beneficial interest
herein, agree that for United States federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that this Note constitute indebtedness. 
 This
Note shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof) and for all purposes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of said State.
