registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 
  
 BOSTON EDISON COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner, or registered assigns, the principal amount specified in the title of this security (the “Principal Amount”) on the Stated Maturity, except to

paid on this Security, in which case from the date of initial issuance until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for and at such rate on any overdue principal and premium and (to the extent that the payment of such interest
shall be legally enforceable) on any overdue installment of interest. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment will be made on the next Business Day, but will deem that payment was made on the date
that payment was due. No interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from the actual payment date to such next Business Day. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, except
as otherwise provided in said Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1, as the case may be, next preceding such April 15

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 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 one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”)
issued under the Indenture, dated as of September 1, 1988, between the Company and The Bank of New York (formerly Bank of Montreal Trust Company), as Indenture Trustee, to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of
the series designated as the 4.875% Debentures due 2014. 
  
 The
Securities are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time. The redemption price for the Securities to be redeemed will equal the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the
redemption date: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined herein), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the
Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined herein) plus 12.5 basis points. The
redemption price will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company will mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Securities to
be redeemed. 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 thereof called for redemption. The Securities will not be entitled to the
benefit of a sinking fund. 
  
 The terms which follow, when used
in this Security, shall have the following meanings: “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a
price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date; “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by
the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities being redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities; “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for
such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Indenture Trustee obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations so received; “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company; “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Banc One Capital Markets, Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and their
respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any
other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company; and “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Indenture Trustee, of the
bid

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security may be
registered on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee, as Indenture Trustee and Paying Agent, located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New

Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of any authorized denominations and for a like aggregate principal amount and tenor,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part. 
  
 The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which 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 and tenor of Securities of this series of any authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to issue any Securities of this series of a denomination less than $1,000. 
  
 No service charge (to the Holder) will be made for any such 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. 
  
 The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to withhold from all payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security any amounts required to be withheld under the applicable provisions of the Federal income tax laws of

Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or such
other Security.

use and maintenance which allows the Group Companies to conduct their respective businesses in their normal course as they are currently carried on. These assets (both tangible and intangible) are free of any Encumbrance that could depreciate their
value or use in the conduct of the business of the relevant Group Companies, other than those described in Exhibit 10.3.4(b), and such assets constitute, together with the assets owned or used by the Group Subsidiaries and the assets

	 	10.3.5 	Real Property Assets

undergo asbestos removal work. No employee has notified any Group Company of any claim based on exposure to asbestos. 
  
 No Property is the subject of an eminent domain expropriation, whether partial or full, or of any other administrative measure which could noticeably
depreciate the value, nor is any easement (servitude) granted or held over any Property that has or would have Material Adverse Consequences. 
  
 No party except Group Companies and Group Subsidiaries holds any right of occupancy or a lease over any of the Properties. 
  
 The Group Companies have not received any notice of any pending proceeding
regarding any of the Properties. 
  
 All of the administrative
authorizations relative to the occupation of the Properties have been received in a manner to authorise the use of the Properties for the conduct of the business of the relevant Group Companies. There is no pending proceeding that is of a nature
that would cause the cancellation or withdrawal of these authorizations. The validity of these authorizations will not be called into question by the transfer of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. All of the permits for demolition and
construction related to the work undertaken on the Properties and the certificates of conformity of said work have been obtained and have become definitive. 
  
 The construction permits and the zoning permits related to the Properties are either not subject to conditions or subject to
conditions that were satisfied or fully respected and performed.

mobiliers) with a yearly rent in excess of 50,000 euros binds the Group Companies. The rents have been fully paid. The assets contemplated in these
leasing contracts are, given their age and their use, in a state of repair which allows the Group Companies to conduct their respective businesses in their normal course as they are currently carried on. 
  
 The change in control of the Group Companies does not per se entail
an accelerated repayment or a breach under a Lease or a leasing agreement. The Group Companies have complied with all of the terms and conditions of the Leases and the leasing agreements; in particular the business conducted on the Leased Premises
is authorized by the Leases and leasing agreements.
