 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

MIDAMERICAN ENERGY COMPANY 

3.50% First Mortgage Bonds due 2024 

This global Bond is one of, and a global security which represents Bonds which are part of, the duly authorized 3.50% First Mortgage Bonds due
2024 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 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 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 stated maturity 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 stated maturity, provided that no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or stated maturity, 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. (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 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 each 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 any 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 each 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, with
respect to the Securities of such series.

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.
