JERSEY CENTRAL POWER & LIGHT COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED NINETY-THREE MILLION DOLLARS on the Stated Maturity specified above, and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date specified above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which Interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates specified above in each year, commencing with the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and at Maturity, at the Interest Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. Interest on this Security will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or made available for payment (or from and including the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid or made available for payment) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Original Issue Date of this Security is after a Regular Record Date and before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, interest so payable for the period from and including the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the Holder hereof on the related Regular Record Date, and (b) interest payable at Maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom principal shall be paid. Except as otherwise provided in said 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 (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 (defined below), notice of which 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 of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of actual days elapsed during such period.

Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on this Security and interest hereon at Maturity shall be made upon presentation of this Security at the Corporate Trust Administration Office of our designated agent, The Bank of New York, located at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 8W, New York, New York 10286, or at such other office or agency as may be designated for such purpose by the Company from time to time. Payment of interest, if any, on this Security (other than interest at Maturity) shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, except that (a) if such Person shall be a securities depositary, such payment may be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be agreed upon by the Company, the Trustee or other Paying Agent and such Person and (b) if such Person is a Holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series such payment may be in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated in writing by the Person entitled thereto as set forth herein in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures. Any such designation for wire transfer purposes shall be made by filing the appropriate information with our designated agent, The Bank of New York, at its Corporate Trust Administration Office, located at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 8W, New York, New York 10286, not less than fifteen calendar days prior to the applicable payment date and, unless revoked by written notice to the Trustee received on or prior to the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, shall remain in effect with respect to any further interest payments (other than interest payments at Maturity) with respect to this Security payable to such Holder. Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, 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 July 1, 1999 (such Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Securities, being herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and United States Trust Company of New York, under which The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. is successor 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 description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, and immunities of the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Securities thereunder and of the terms and conditions 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. This Security is one of the series designated above.

If any Interest Payment Date, any Redemption Date, or the Stated Maturity shall not be a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), payment of the amounts due on this Security on such date may be made on the next succeeding Business Day; and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on such amounts for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated May 21, 2007 between the Company and Barclays Capital Inc., UBS Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company will be obligated to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Security shall have the right to exchange this Security for the Company’s 6.15% Exchange Senior Note due 2037 (an “Exchange Note”), at such time as such Exchange Note shall have been registered under the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all material respects to this Security (except that such Exchange Note will not contain terms with respect to registration rights, the payment of additional interest, and other provisions restricting transfers and resales, including this paragraph). The Holders of this Security shall be entitled to receive certain additional interest payments at the rate per annum of 0.25% in the event such exchange offer is not consummated within 210 days after the Closing Date and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

This Security is redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 30 days’, but not more than 60 days’, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each holder of the Securities. The redemption prices will be equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, and (2) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) discounted to the redemption date, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points. In each case, accrued and unpaid interest will be payable to the redemption date.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date:

the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from these yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or

if the release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain these yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the redemption date. The Adjusted Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be 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 (“Remaining Life”).

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Independent Investment Banker after consultation with the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on this Security that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption. If such redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to this Security, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on this Security will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on this Security to such redemption date.

On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on this Security or any portion of the Security called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest. On or before the redemption date, the Company will deposit with a paying agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Security to be redeemed on such date. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

Notice of redemption shall be given by mail to Holders of Securities, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption at the election of the Company as aforesaid may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Security on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption; a notice of redemption so conditioned shall be of no force or effect if such money is not so received and, in such event, the Company shall not be required to redeem this Security.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series, of like tenor, representing the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Security 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 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 of the Holders of only 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; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for limited purposes without the consent of any Holders of Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority 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, if any, 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 and herein set forth, this Security or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer outstanding thereunder, and, at the election of the Company, the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company) in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with moneys so deposited, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Security when due.

The Indenture contains terms, provisions, and conditions relating to the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, and the conveyance or other transfer, or lease, of assets to, another Person, to the assumption by such other Person, in certain circumstances, of all of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and on the Securities and to the release and discharge of the Company in certain circumstances, from such obligations.

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 office of our designated agent, The Bank of New York, located at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 8W, New York, New York 10286, 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 Securities of this series are issuable only as registered Securities, without coupons, and in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 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 the same series and tranche, 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 Corporate Trust Administration Office of our designated agent, The Bank of New York, located at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 8W, New York, New York 10286, or such other office or agency as may be designated by the Company from time to time.

The Company shall not be required to execute and the Security Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) Securities of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of this series called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

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.

Each Holder shall be deemed to agree, on its own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which it is acting as hereinafter stated, that if such Holder sells any Securities, such Holder will do so only (A) to the Company, (B) to a person whom it reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (C) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (D) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available), (E) in accordance with another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (and based upon an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Company), or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and each Holder is further deemed to agree to provide to any person purchasing any Securities from it a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Securities are restricted as stated herein.

Each Holder shall be deemed to understand that, on any proposed resale of any Securities pursuant to the exemption from registration under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, any Holder making any such proposed resale will be required to furnish to the Trustee and Company such certifications, legal opinions, and other information as the Trustee and Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions.

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

As used herein, “Business Day” shall mean each day that is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or in the city where the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located, are obligated or authorized by law or executive order to close.
