      This
        Security is a global security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter
        referred to and is registered in the name of a depositary (as defined in
        the
        Indenture) or a nominee thereof. This global security is exchangeable for
        securities registered in the name of a person other than the depositary or
        its
        nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture and,
        unless
        and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for securities in definitive
        form,
        this global security 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.

      

      Unless
        this security is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository
        Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to AGL Capital Corporation (the
“Company”) or its agent for registration of transfer exchange, or payment, and
        any security issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other
        name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment
        is
        made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
        representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge, or other use hereof for value
        or
        otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner
        hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

      AGL
        Capital Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws
        of the
        State of Nevada (herein called the “Company,” which terms includes any successor
        corporation under the Indenture referred to hereinafter), for value received,
        hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as the nominee of The Depository Trust
        Company, or registered assigns, the principal sum of One Hundred Seventy-Five
        Million and 00/100 Dollars and to pay interest thereon from June 30, 2006
        semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date of January 15 and July 15 of
        each
        year, commencing on January 15, 2007 at 6.375% per annum, until the principal
        hereof is paid or provided for. Interest so payable shall be computed on
        the
        basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The interest
        so
        payable, and paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall,
        as
        provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security
        is
        registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
        interest, which shall be January 1 and July 1 (whether or not a Business
        Day),
        as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Except as
        otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so paid or duly
        provided for shall 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 Security
        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 Securities of this series not less than 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
        Securities for this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
        required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said
        Indenture.

      

      Payment
        of the principal of and premium, if any, on this Security at Stated Maturity
        shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds (except that
        payment on certificated notes shall be paid by check except in certain
        circumstances) upon presentation hereof at the offices of The Bank of New
        York
        Trust Company, N.A. or at such other office or agency as may be designated
        for
        such purpose by the Company from time to time. Payment of interest on this
        Security shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds (except
        that payment on certificated notes shall be paid by check except in certain
        circumstances) to the Person entitled thereto as indicated in the Security
        Register. Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
        this
        Security, as aforesaid, shall be made in such coin or currency of the United
        States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the
        payment of public and private debts.

      

      This
        Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein
        called the “Securities”), issued and issuable in one or more series under an
        Indenture, dated as of February 20, 2001 (such Indenture as originally executed
        and delivered and as supplemented or modified, together with any constituent
        instruments establishing the terms of particular Securities, being herein
        called
        the “Indenture”), between the Company, AGL Resources Inc. and The Bank of New
        York Trust Company, N.A. (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any
        successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture, all indentures
        supplemental thereto or Officer’s Certificates pursuant to Section 301 of such
        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 Securities and of the terms upon which the
        Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance
        of
        this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by
        the
        Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

      

      If
        any
        Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity shall not be a Business Day,
        payment of the amounts due on this Security on such date may be made on the
        next
        succeeding Business Day, as if each such payment were made on the date such
        payment were due and no interest shall accrue on such amounts for the period
        from and after such Interest Payment Date, or Stated Maturity, as the case
        may
        be, to such Business Day.

      

      If
        an
        Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and
        be
        continuing, the principal of this Security of this series 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 Trustee
        to
        enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding
        any
        provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
        of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority
        in
        aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding
        under the Indenture, considered as one class; provided, however, that if
        there
        shall be Securities of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture
        and
        if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of
        the
        Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such series,
        then
        the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
        of
        the Outstanding Securities of all series so directly affected, considered
        as one
        class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Securities of
        any
        series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if the proposed
        supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of
        Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the
        consent
        only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
        Outstanding Securities of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as
        one
        class, shall be required. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
        the
        Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities then
        Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance
        by
        the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
        under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by
        the
        Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder
        and
        upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security 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
        Security.

      

      No
        reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of
        the
        Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
        and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
        on
        this Security at the times, place and rate, in the coin or currency, and
        in the
        manner, herein prescribed.

      

      As
        provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
        forth,
        the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon
        surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the offices of
        the
        Trustee or such other office or agency as may be designated by the Company
        from
        time to time, 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 Securities of this series of authorized denominations
        and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
        designated transferee or transferees.

      

      The
        Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at its option, at
        any
        time at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal
        amount
        of the Securities to be redeemed, or as determined by a Quotation Agent (as
        defined in the Prospectus Supplement dated as of June 30, 2006, to the
        Prospectus dated as of November 9, 2004, together the “Prospectus”), the sum of
        the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
        thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to
        the
        date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis
        (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted
        Treasury Rate (as defined in the Prospectus) plus 20 basis points.

      

      The
        Company shall give notice to DTC of any redemption it proposes to make at
        least
        30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the redemption date. If the Company
        redeems only some of the Securities, it is the practice of DTC to determine
        by
        lot the amount of the Securities to be redeemed of each of its participating
        institutions. Notice by DTC to these participants and by participants to
“street
        name” holders of indirect interests in the Securities shall be made according to
        arrangements among them and may be subject to statutory or regulatory
        requirements.

      

      Unless
        the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the
        redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions
        of
        the Securities called for redemption.

      

      The
        Securities of this series are issuable only as registered Securities, without
        coupons, in denominations of $1,000, and any amount in excess thereof that
        is an
        integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to
        certain
        limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable
        for a
        like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series, of any authorized
        denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, and of like
        tenor upon surrender of the Security or Securities to be exchanged at the
        offices of the Trustee or such other office or agency as may be designated
        by
        the Company from time to time.

      

      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 Security 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 absolute owner hereof for all
        purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
        the
        Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
        contrary.

      

      Capitalized
        terms used herein have the same meanings given in the Indenture unless otherwise
        indicated. 

      

      The
        Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance
        with the laws of the State of New York.

      

      As
        provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the
        principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Securities, or any part
        thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof,
        or of
        the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or
        agreement under the Indenture, against, and no personal liability whatsoever
        shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, officer
        or
        director, as such, past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor
        or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a
        predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional
        provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment
        or
        penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the
        Indenture and all the Securities are solely corporate obligations and that
        any
        such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition
        of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture
        and the
        issuance of the Securities.

      

      Unless
        the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee
        by
        manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under
        the
        Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

      

      This
        Security is unsecured and is unconditionally guaranteed by AGL Resources

      The
        Guarantor, for value received, hereby unconditionally guarantees to each
        Holder
        of a 6.375% Senior Note due 2016 (a “Note”) of AGL Capital Corporation, a Nevada

      The
        Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
        irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of such Note or
        the
        Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
        by the Holder of such Note or by the Trustee with respect to any provisions
        thereof or of the Indenture, the obtaining of any judgment against the Company
        or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might
        otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.
        The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of division and discussion, diligence,
        presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
        of
        insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding
        first
        against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Note or the
        indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants
        that
        this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the
        obligations contained in the Note and in the Guarantees. The Guarantees are
        guarantees of payment and not of collection. If the Trustee or the Holder
        of any
        Note is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or the
        Guarantor, or any custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, sequestrator
        or
        other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantor,
        any
        amount paid to the Trustee or such Holder in respect of a Note, this Guarantee,
        to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
        effect.

      

      The
        Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of a Note in respect
        of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Note pursuant to
        the
        provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the
        Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising
        out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and
        premium, if any) and interest, on the Note shall have been paid in
        full.

      

      Capitalized
        terms used herein have the same meanings given in the Indenture unless otherwise
        indicated. This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance
        with
        the law of the State of New York.

      

      This
        Guarantee is executed as of the day and year first above written.
