PROSPECTUS

Dominion Energy, Inc.

Variable Denomination Floating Rate Demand Notes

Dominion Energy Reliability Investment^SM (the Notes) is designed to provide you with a convenient means of investing your money directly with Dominion Energy, Inc. (Dominion Energy or the Company). The Notes earn a floating rate of interest to be determined at the direction of the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Committee (the Committee). The initial interest rate applicable to the Notes and all subsequent changes to the initial interest rate will be disclosed in prospectus supplements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).

The Notes are in book-entry form and have no stated maturity. The Notes are issuable in any amount, may be redeemed upon your demand as described in this prospectus and are subject to redemption by Dominion Energy at any time. The Notes have a principal amount equal to the total amount of your investment, plus reinvested interest, after deducting redemptions and fees, if any. The Notes earn interest which will accrue and be compounded daily and be automatically reinvested in Notes on the last business day of each month.

The Notes will rank equally in priority with all of Dominion Energy’s existing and future unsecured and non-subordinated debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of Dominion Energy’s existing and future subordinated debt. As of September 30, 2017, Dominion Energy had approximately $16.8 billion principal amount of outstanding long-term debt on an unconsolidated basis (including securities due within one year), consisting of approximately $11.4 billion of unsecured and non-subordinated debt and $5.4 billion of unsecured junior subordinated debt. The Notes are also structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of Dominion Energy’s subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2017, Dominion Energy’s subsidiaries had approximately $16.9 billion principal amount of outstanding long-term debt (including securities due within one year).

The Notes are offered on a continuous basis. Notes registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part represent the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes, equal to $3,000,000,000, which are expected to be offered for sale. The outstanding principal amount of the Notes will increase and decrease from time to time. The maximum net aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be outstanding at any one time is $1,000,000,000.

Investing in Dominion Energy Reliability Investment involves risks. For a description of these risks, see “Risk Factors” on page 5 of this prospectus and the Risk Factors section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Please read this prospectus carefully and retain for future reference. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined that this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is November 2, 2017

We have not authorized anyone to provide any information other than that contained in this prospectus or in any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

An investment in the Notes involves risks. Prospective investors should carefully review the risk factors, as well as the other information, contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should consult your own financial and legal advisers as to the risks involved in an investment in the Notes and whether an investment is suitable for you.

All of the money you invest will be used to purchase Notes for you. All interest earned on your Notes will be reinvested monthly in additional Notes for your investment. All investments in the Notes are investments in unsecured debt obligations of Dominion Energy, Inc. Only our assets are available to pay the principal and interest on the Notes. We do not maintain reserves for our obligations under the Notes and the Notes are not subject to any sinking fund. The Notes are unsecured and are not obligations of or guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any of our subsidiaries, The Northern Trust Company, which acts as the agent bank for the Notes, the Trustee or any other company. It is possible for you to lose some or all of your investment, including accrued interest, if we are unable to pay our debts, become bankrupt or seek creditor protection.

The Notes are not a money market fund, which is typically a diversified fund consisting of short-term debt securities of many issuers. The Notes are not subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (including those regarding diversification and quality of investments for money market funds) or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Notes are not equivalent to a deposit or other bank account and are not subject to the protection of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulation or insurance or any other insurance. The Notes are not transferable, assignable or negotiable, they are not listed on any securities exchange, and there is no secondary market for the Notes. As a result, there is no public market valuation for the Notes.

The interest rate paid on investments in the Notes may not provide a basis for comparison with bank deposits or money market funds, which may use a different method of calculating yield, or other investments which pay a fixed yield for a stated period of time. The interest rate also does not necessarily bear any relation to the risks associated with or changes in our creditworthiness, credit rating or financial condition and may not compensate you for any increase in credit risk of investment in the Notes.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before purchasing any Notes, you should carefully consider the risks discussed below and the risk factors that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus from the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus and any other information that we have incorporated by reference, including filings made with the SEC after the date of this prospectus. Any of these risks, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could harm our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Where You Can Find More Information on page 1.

Risks Relating to the Notes

• An investment in the Notes does not create a bank account or depositor relationship between you and Dominion Energy or The Northern Trust Company, as the agent bank.

• The Notes are not equivalent to a deposit or other bank account and are not subject to the protection of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) regulation or insurance or any other insurance.

• All of the money you invest will be used to purchase Notes for you. All interest earned on your Notes will be reinvested monthly in additional Notes for your investment. The Notes are not a money market fund, which is typically a diversified fund consisting of short-term debt of many issuers. The Notes are not subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Consequently, you will not have the benefit of federal laws and regulations designed to help maintain liquidity and a stable share price and set standards for credit quality, diversification and for maturity of individual securities and the overall portfolio.

• The Notes are not subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

• The Notes are not a brokerage account with Georgeson Securities Corporation or any other broker-dealer and are not protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation under the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970.

• Dominion Energy has not requested, and does not anticipate receiving, a rating for the Notes from any rating agency.

• The interest rate paid on investments in the Notes may not provide a basis for comparison with bank deposits or money market funds, which may use a different method of calculating yield, or other investments which pay a fixed yield for a stated period of time. The interest rate also does not necessarily bear any relation to the risks associated with or changes in our creditworthiness, credit rating or financial condition and may not compensate you for any increase in credit risk of investment in Notes.

• Although you may redeem your investment in the Notes at any time in whole or in part, in the manner explained in this prospectus, you are not able to transfer your investment in the Notes to someone else. The Notes are not listed on any securities exchange, and no secondary market for the Notes currently exists nor will one develop in the future. Consequently, there is no public market valuation of the Notes to assist you in evaluating the Notes or the yield earned.

• The Notes are unsecured debt obligations of Dominion Energy, Inc. Only the assets of Dominion Energy, Inc. are available to pay the principal and interest on the Notes.

• Dominion Energy, Inc. is a holding company, and we operate our businesses through our subsidiaries. Thus, our ability to meet our obligations under the Notes is dependent on the earnings and cash flows of those subsidiaries and the ability of those subsidiaries to pay dividends or to advance or repay funds to Dominion Energy. In addition, the rights that Dominion Energy and its creditors would have to participate in the assets of any such subsidiary upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or recapitalization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors.

5

• Holders of Notes will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries, including trade creditors, debt holders, secured creditors, taxing authorities, guarantee holders and any holders of preferred stock. In addition to trade debt, certain of our operating subsidiaries have ongoing corporate debt programs used to finance their business activities. As of September 30, 2017, on a consolidated basis (including securities due within one year), we had approximately $33.7 billion of outstanding debt, of which approximately $16.9 billion was subsidiary debt.

• The Notes are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any of our subsidiaries or any financial institution or government entity. Dominion Energy does not maintain reserves for its obligations under the Notes. There is a risk that Dominion Energy will be unable to meet interest payments or repay principal on the Notes. You may lose all or part of your investment, including accrued interest, if Dominion Energy is unable to pay its debts, enters bankruptcy or seeks protection from its creditors.

• You will not be able to exchange your Notes for any other securities of Dominion Energy.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to finance capital expenditures and future acquisitions and to retire or redeem debt securities issued by us and for other general corporate purposes which may include the repayment of commercial paper and debt under any of our credit facilities.

8

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

For purposes of this ratio, earnings are determined by adding distributed income of equity investees and fixed charges (excluding interest capitalized) to income from continuing operations before income taxes and adjustments for noncontrolling interest after eliminating the equity in earnings or losses of equity investees. These earnings are then divided by total fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest charges (without reduction for Allowance for Funds Used During Construction) on long-term and short-term debt, interest capitalized, the portion of rental expense that is representative of the interest factor and preferred stock dividends of consolidated subsidiaries (grossed-up by a factor of pre-tax net income divided by net income).

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of the periods indicated is as follows:

9 Months Ended September  30, 2017(a)	12 Months Ended September 30, 2017(b)	Years Ended December 31,
		2016(c)	2015(d)	2014(e)	2013(f)	2012(g)
3.11	2.98	3.27	3.65	2.33	3.42	3.10

(a) Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 include $39 million in transition and integration costs associated with the Dominion Energy Questar Combination; and $30 million charge related to other items, partially offset by $41 million of net gain related to our investments in nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Excluding the net effect of these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

(b) Earnings for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 include $197 million charge associated with ash pond and landfill closure costs; $52 million in transaction, transition, and integration costs associated with the Dominion Energy Questar Combination; $23 million charge related to storm and restoration costs; and $43 million charge related to other items, partially offset by $46 million of net gain related to our investments in nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Excluding the net effect of these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017.

(c) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 include $197 million charge associated with ash pond and landfill closure costs; $65 million charge associated with an organizational design initiative; $74 million in transaction and transition costs associated with the Dominion Energy Questar Combination; $23 million charge related to storm and restoration costs; and $45 million charge related to other items, partially offset by $34 million of net gain related to our investments in nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Excluding the net effect of these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

(d) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 include $85 million write-off of prior-period deferred fuel costs associated with Virginia legislation; $99 million charge associated with ash pond and landfill closure costs and $78 million charge related to other items, partially offset by $60 million of net gain related to our investments in nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Excluding the net effect of these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

(e) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 include $374 million charge related to the North Anna nuclear power station and offshore wind facilities; $284 million charge associated with our liability management effort, which is included in fixed charges; $121 million accrued charge associated with ash pond and landfill closure costs; and $93 million charge related to other items, partially offset by $100 million net gain on the sale of our electric retail energy marketing business and $72 million of net gain related to our investments in nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Excluding the net effect of these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

(f) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 include a $55 million impairment charge related to certain natural gas infrastructure assets; $40 million charge in connection with the Virginia State Corporation Commission’s final ruling associated with its biennial review of Virginia Power’s base rates for

9

2011-2012 test years; $28 million charge associated with our operating expense reduction initiative, primarily reflecting severance pay and other employee related costs; $26 million charge related to the expected early shutdown of certain coal-fired generating units; and $29 million charge related to other items, partially offset by $81 million of net gain related to our investments in nuclear decommissioning trust funds; $47 million benefit due to a downward revision in the nuclear decommissioning asset retirement obligations for certain merchant nuclear units that are no longer in service; and $29 million net benefit primarily resulting from the sale of the Elwood power station. Excluding the net effect of these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

(g) Earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 include $438 million of impairment and other charges related the planned shut-down of the Kewaunee nuclear power station; and $87 million of restoration costs associated with severe storms affecting our Dominion Energy Virginia and Dominion Energy North Carolina service territories, partially offset by a $36 million net gain related to our investments in nuclear decommissioning trust funds; and $4 million net benefit related to other items. Excluding the net effect of these items from the calculation would result in a higher ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

The interest rate we pay on the Notes for any particular period does not indicate or represent the rates we will pay in the future.

To help fight the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities, the U.S. government has passed the USA PATRIOT ACT, which requires banks, including our processing agent bank, to obtain, verify, record and, in certain circumstances, report information that identifies persons who engage in certain transactions with or through a bank.

How to Redeem

Generally, you may redeem all or any part of your Notes without charges or penalties as more fully described below. However, you may redeem your entire investment in the Notes only by use of the Bank Check Redemption option as described in this prospectus. In such event, the principal amount of your Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, will be redeemed and the proceeds distributed in accordance with the procedures set forth below under Bank Check Redemption. Requests for redemption should be made by calling 866-876-0001 or directed to Dominion Energy Reliability Investment, P.O. Box 75713, Chicago, Illinois 60675-5713.

If the amount to be redeemed represents:

• an investment made by the Check Investment option, the redemption request will not be honored until after five business days from the date the check is credited to your investment or such shorter time as may be determined from time to time at the direction of the Committee as permitted under the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan;

14

• an investment made by the Automatic Investment or Directed Investment option from a bank account, the redemption request will not be honored until after five business days from the posting of such investment by the agent bank;

You may contact us to obtain further information on redeeming investments in the Notes by telephone at 866-876-0001 from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday through Friday.

Check Redemption

You will be provided with an initial supply of Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption checks free of charge (additional supplies of Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption checks are also free of charge). For your protection, we will accept for redemption only Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption checks. You may make Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption checks payable to the order of anyone in the amount of $250 or more.

The payee of a Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption check may cash or deposit the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption check like any personal check drawn on a bank. If the amount of a Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption check is greater than your investment balance, the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption check will not be honored and will be returned to the presenter by the agent bank. In addition to having the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption check returned, we will charge a fee that will be debited directly from your investment balance in the Notes. See the “Fees” section of this prospectus for a discussion of certain fees in connection with the Check Redemption option.

Check Redemption is automatically available to you and does not require any selection on the application. You may order additional Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption checks by using the reorder form in your current checkbook, by calling 866-876-0001, or through your account online. We will send additional redemption checks only to the registered owner(s) of the Notes and only to the registered address. The Check Redemption option does not create a checking or other bank account or a depositor or banking relationship with the agent bank or us.

Redemption will be made on the date the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption check is presented to the agent bank for payment. The amount of the Note to be redeemed will continue to accrue interest to, but not including, the day the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption check is presented for payment.

Bank Check Redemption

By use of the Bank Check Redemption option, you authorize the agent bank to act on written or telephone instructions to have redemption proceeds paid by a check payable to the registered owner(s) and sent to the registered address on the investment. The agent bank’s records of the telephonic instructions are binding. Neither the agent bank nor we will be responsible for the authenticity of telephonic instructions. Redemptions will be paid to you by check, in the amount of $250 or more, or the investment balance of your Notes, whichever is less.

15

Bank Check Redemption is automatically available to you and does not require any selection on the application.

Requests for Bank Check Redemption may be made by calling 866-876-0001 from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday through Friday. Verification of information including, but not limited to, the investment number, additional investment information and the name of the registered owner(s) submitting the Bank Check Redemption request must be provided at the time of the request. Written requests for Bank Check Redemption should be directed to Dominion Energy Reliability Investment, P.O. Box 75713, Chicago, Illinois 60675-5713. We will send the redemption payments only to the registered owner(s) of the Notes at the registered address.

A bank check representing the redemption proceeds will be made payable to the registered owners and sent to the registered address, by the end of the next business day following receipt of the redemption request and interest will accrue to, but not including, the day of your request.

ACH Redemption

Redemptions via ACH can be made in two ways:

• You may initiate an ACH debit through your financial institution from your investment. A minimum of $250 is required.

• You may set up an ACH redemption which can be executed utilizing the self-service feature of online access. A $250 minimum is required.

You can establish a bank model to complete on request ACH redemptions by submitting the information in writing on the Electronic Funds Transfer Form. Each registered must sign the request and obtain a Medallion Signature Guarantee stamp. In addition, the models must have like ownership, with the same owners on the investment as there are on the investment the funds are going to. Once the form is received, the model will be added to the investment within two business days. Once the model is complete, a confirmation is generated and sent to the registered address confirming that the transfer instructions have been established.

If you are enrolled in online access, you can use the self-service feature to establish a bank model and complete single ACH redemptions.

The agent bank will initiate the redemption from your investment and an ACH credit will be sent to the financial institution on file via a NACHA formatted transaction file. Funds are transferred to your financial institution one business day following receipt by the agent bank of the request if received by 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. The redemption will post on such day and interest will accrue to, but not including, such day. If received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, funds are transferred to your financial institution two business days after receipt of the request. The redemption will post on such day and interest will accrue to, but not including, such day.

Optional Redemption by Dominion Energy

As provided in the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan, we have the right to redeem at any time the Notes of an investor if the investment balance is below the minimum amount or to the extent the investment balance exceeds the maximum amount as determined by the Committee. In such event, you will be notified if

16

your Notes will be redeemed and you will be permitted 30 days within which to make such investments or make such redemptions, as the case may be, to restore the investment balance within the minimum and maximum amounts. In addition, we may also redeem, at any time at our option, the Notes of any investor who is not or is no longer eligible to invest in the Notes, who has abused or misused the investment or redemption provisions applicable to the Notes or whose investments are otherwise inconsistent with the objectives of the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan, in each case as we determine in our sole judgment and discretion. In the event that we determine to redeem a particular investor’s Notes for any of the reasons specified in the preceding sentence, we will notify the investor of our intention to redeem in full the Notes on the third business day following the date of our notice. Further, we may redeem the entire amount of, or any portion of, all of the outstanding Notes. Any such partial redemption of outstanding Notes will be effected by lot or pro rata or by any other method that is deemed fair and appropriate by the agent bank. We generally will give you 30-days’ prior written notice if the Notes are to be redeemed in whole or in part. In each of the redemption transactions described above, a redemption check will be sent to the investor in an amount equal to the principal amount of the redeemed Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest and less any applicable fees.

Fees

There are no maintenance fees with respect to your investment in the Notes, nor are there charges for your redemption checks (both initial and additional) or for effecting any Check Redemptions. You may also incur a charge in obtaining any applicable signature guarantee.

Subject to revision at the discretion of the Committee, the following fee schedule applies:

Insufficient funds:	$	15
Stop payment requests:	$	15

As incurred, fees will be promptly debited directly from your investment balance as a partial redemption of your Notes.

Investor Statements

The agent bank will send a monthly statement to you, showing a summary of all the transactions made in the Notes during the previous month, including the beginning investment balance, all investments and redemptions, all interest earned, as well as any relevant fees or charges. A copy of the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment redemption checks on which payment has been made will be included in the monthly statements. This procedure is subject to change at the direction of the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Committee in its discretion. You can obtain current information about the Notes by calling us toll free at 866-876-0001 from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday through Friday.

You may also enroll to view your investment activity and other correspondence through the online investment management system. Many of the service options described in this prospectus are also available via this online tool. For additional information and to enroll for these online options, call us at 866-876-0001.

We will only furnish information to you by telephone if you have specified the name, address, Notes investment number, and additional investment information of the registered owner of the Notes.

Taxes

The following is a summary of the U.S. Federal income tax consequences to you if you invest in the Notes. The discussion addresses only the income tax consequences to you if you are an individual and are a citizen of the United States for Federal income tax purposes. You should consult your own tax adviser concerning the application of United States Federal income tax laws, as well as the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdictions, to your situation.

17

The Notes are not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. All interest credited to your Notes in any taxable year is reportable by you as taxable income for Federal income tax purposes. Early in each year the agent bank will provide to you the full amount reportable as taxable income for the previous year. The agent bank also will file tax information returns as required by law. Backup withholding may apply to you if you fail to comply with applicable tax identification requirements. Interest credited to the Notes also may be subject to state and local income taxes.

Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Committee

The Committee has the full power and authority to, among other things:

• amend the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan and the Notes offering to the extent described below under “Termination, Suspension or Modification;”

• interpret the provisions of the Plan;

• adopt rules and regulations in connection with administration of the Plan;

• redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time;

• redeem any investments in the Notes of an investor who has abused or misused the investment or redemption provisions applicable to the Notes, whose investments are otherwise inconsistent with the objectives of the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan or who is not eligible to invest in the Notes, in each case as determined by the Committee in its sole judgment and discretion; and

• make certain determinations in accordance with the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan, including setting the rates of interest to be paid on the Notes.

The Committee shall consist of at least three persons designated from time to time by Dominion Energy. Dominion Energy shall from time to time designate the members of the Committee and an alternate for each of such members, who shall have full power to act in the absence or inability to act of such member. As provided in the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan, the Committee has delegated its authority to determine the interest rate on the Notes to the Treasurer of Dominion Energy. The address of each member of the Committee is 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. The members of the Committee receive no additional compensation for their Committee services.

The members of the Committee may from time to time have potential conflicts of interest from the point of view of investors in the Notes. All members of the Committee to date have been, and are expected in the future to be, employees of Dominion Energy or one of its subsidiaries. All of the money you invest will be invested in the Notes, which are securities of Dominion Energy. The members of the Committee have a duty to act in Dominion Energy’s best interest, and consequently may make decisions that investors in the Notes do not believe to be in their best interest. In addition, employees of Dominion Energy and its subsidiaries, including members of the Committee, may from time to time invest in or redeem the Notes.

Under the Plan, no member of the Committee or a director, officer or employee of Dominion Energy or any of its subsidiaries will be liable for any action or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, except for his or her own bad faith. Dominion Energy will indemnify and hold any such person harmless from all loss or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, or proceeding, except a judgment in favor of Dominion Energy based upon a finding of his or her bad faith.

19

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of November 1, 2017, between us and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, which acts as trustee. The trustee has two main roles. First, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf, described below under “Events of Default and Notices.” Second, the trustee may perform certain administrative duties for us.

The indenture and its associated documents contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. The indenture is an exhibit to our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for information on how to obtain a copy of the indenture.

This section summarizes the material terms of the Notes. Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the Notes and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all provisions of the indenture, including definitions of certain terms used in the indenture. We describe the meaning for only the more important of those terms. Whenever we refer to defined terms of the indenture in this prospectus, such defined terms are incorporated by reference here.

General

The Notes will be issuable in any amount and will mature upon your demand. The Notes will be identical except for their issue date and principal amount. We may reject any offer to purchase Notes in whole or in part. All investments in the Notes are investments in our unsecured debt obligations and are not obligations of or guaranteed by our subsidiaries, the agent bank, the trustee or any other company. Dominion Energy does not maintain reserves for its obligations under the Notes and the Notes are not subject to any sinking fund. The Notes are redeemable at your option in the manner described in this prospectus.

Following an initial investment, investors may make additional investments and redemptions from time to time as described in this prospectus. As a result, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes will increase and decrease from time to time. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of registered but unissued notes under the registration statement relating to the Notes, each investment is an issuance of Notes, reducing the capacity of registered but unissued Notes by a corresponding amount. The daily amount and rate of redemptions are affected by many factors, including but not limited to the rates we offer on the Notes from time to time, the wide variety of alternative investment options in the market that are available to our investors and seasonal increases in redemptions and investments.

Although investors could seek to redeem a large dollar amount of Notes over a short period of time, we believe that we have sufficient capital resources available to timely fund redemptions of the Notes. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term component of our treasury management strategy. In the event that we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, additional sources of funds are available to us. For more information, see the discussion of our capital resources and liquidity in our Form 10-K and 10-Q reports filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The Notes will rank equally in priority with all of Dominion Energy’s existing and future unsecured and non-subordinated debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of Dominion Energy’s existing and future subordinated debt. As of September 30, 2017, Dominion Energy had approximately $16.8 billion principal amount of outstanding long-term debt on an unconsolidated basis (including securities due within one year), consisting of approximately $11.4 billion of unsecured and non-subordinated debt and $5.4 billion of unsecured junior subordinated debt. Dominion Energy is a holding company, and we operate our businesses through our subsidiaries. The Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. This means that in liquidation the assets of our subsidiaries would be applied first to the repayment of indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries before they would be available to pay the indebtedness and

20

liabilities of Dominion Energy, including the Notes. As of September 30, 2017, Dominion Energy’s subsidiaries had approximately $16.9 billion principal amount of outstanding long-term debt (including securities due within one year). The indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional debt, including debt incurred by our subsidiaries. The indenture also does not restrict us from acquiring or combining with entities that have outstanding indebtedness, which entities may become subsidiaries of Dominion Energy.

The indenture does not limit the principal amount of the Notes or any of our other debt that may be issued.

The Notes will be issued in uncertificated form and you will not receive any certificate or other instrument evidencing our indebtedness. All funds you invest in the Notes, together with interest accrued thereon, and redemptions, if any, will be recorded on a register maintained by the agent bank.

The indenture provides that we, the trustee and the investors waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture or the Notes.

Minimum Investment

Because of the relatively high cost of maintaining small investments, we reserve the right to redeem your investment if the investment balance is less than the minimum required investment balance of $1,000 for three consecutive months. If you are an employee, the minimum required initial investment balance of $1,000 must be attained within ten months. Thereafter, the $1,000 minimum investment balance must be maintained. If the minimum investment balance is not attained or maintained, we may redeem the principal amount of your Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and mail the proceeds to your registered address. You will be notified if your Notes will be redeemed and you will be permitted 60 days within which to make additional investments to increase your investment balance to the applicable minimum required investment before your investment is redeemed. The minimum required investment balance is subject to change at the discretion of the Committee without prior notice to investors.

Maximum Outstanding Investment

The Committee has established a maximum outstanding investment for any one investor of $1,250,000. If the amount of your outstanding investment exceeds the maximum for three consecutive months, we may notify you in writing that we intend to redeem the amount of your investment in excess of $1,250,000. You will then have 30 days to redeem the excess portion of your investment. If you do not do so within a 30-day period, we may redeem the amount we have specified and mail a check for the proceeds to the registered holder of the Notes, less any tax withholding, if applicable, and any other fees discussed in this prospectus. Interest on the redeemed amount shall cease to accrue on and after the effective date of the redemption. The maximum outstanding investment in the Notes for any one investor is subject to change at the discretion of the Committee without prior notice to investors.

We May Redeem the Notes at Our Option

We may also elect to redeem the entire amount of, or any portion of, the outstanding Notes. Any such partial redemption of outstanding Notes will be effected by lot or pro rata or by any other method that is deemed fair and appropriate by the agent bank. We generally will give you 30-days’ prior written notice if the Notes are to be redeemed in whole or in part. As discussed above, we may also redeem your Notes if your investment balance is below the minimum amount or exceeds the maximum amount as determined by the Committee.

In addition, as provided in the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan, we may also redeem, at any time at our option, the Notes of any investor who is not or is no longer eligible to invest in the Notes, who has abused or misused the investment or redemption provisions applicable to the Notes or whose investments are

21

otherwise inconsistent with the objectives of the Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan, in each case as we determine in our sole judgment and discretion. In the event that we determine to redeem a particular investor’s Notes for any of these reasons, we will notify the investor of our intention to redeem in full the Notes on the third business day following the date of our notice.

In each of the redemption transactions initiated by us, as described above, a redemption check will be sent to the investor in an amount equal to the principal amount of the redeemed Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest and less any applicable fees. Interest on the redeemed amount shall cease to accrue on and after the effective date of redemption.

The Trustee

The indenture contains certain limitations on the right of the trustee, as a creditor of ours, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. In addition, the trustee may be deemed to have a conflicting interest and may be required to resign as trustee if at the time of a default under the indenture it is a creditor of ours.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the trustee under the indenture. Dominion Energy and certain of its affiliates maintain banking relationships with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas or its affiliates. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas also serves as trustee or agent under other indentures and agreements pursuant to which securities of Dominion Energy and of certain of its affiliates are outstanding.

Events of Default and Notices

The following events are defined in the indenture as “events of default” with respect to the Notes:

• failure to pay any or all the principal of or interest on any Note when due, provided that the failure to pay shall not be deemed to be an event of default under various circumstances, such as when the person demanding payment is not legally entitled to it or upon the occurrence of certain administrative errors; and

• failure to perform any of our covenants in the indenture, which continues for 60 days after we are given written notice by either the trustee or at least a majority of the holders in principal amount of the Notes outstanding and affected thereby.

If an event of default with respect to the outstanding Notes occurs and is continuing, either the trustee or the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all Notes to be due and payable immediately; provided, however, that under certain circumstances the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences.

The indenture provides that the trustee, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Notes, shall give to the holders of the Notes notice of all uncured defaults known to it (the term “default” means the events specified above without grace periods), provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of principal of or interest, if any, on any Notes, the trustee shall be protected in withholding the notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of the notice is in the interest of the holders of Notes.

We will be required to furnish annually to the trustee a statement by certain of our officers to the effect that to their knowledge we are not in default in the fulfillment of any of our obligations under the indenture or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any of our obligations, specifying each such default.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes will have the right, subject to certain limitations, 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 Notes, and to waive certain defaults.

22

The indenture provides that in case an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee shall exercise such of its rights and powers under the indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of Notes unless they shall have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which the trustee might incur in complying with the request or direction.

Modification of the Indenture

We and the trustee may modify or amend the indenture, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes issued under the indenture, provided that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of each holder of the Notes that are affected:

• change the character of the Notes from being payable on demand or reduce the principal amount of any Note;

• impair the right to institute a suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Note;

• reduce the above-stated percentage of holders of Notes necessary to modify or amend the indenture; or

• modify the foregoing requirements or reduce the percentage of outstanding Notes necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or for waiver of certain defaults.

We may also amend the indenture, without the consent of any holders of the Notes, to add covenants or restrictions for your benefit or to make other changes that do not adversely affect the rights of any holder in any material respect.

23

TERMINATION, SUSPENSION OR MODIFICATION

We expect that you will be able to invest in the Notes for the foreseeable future, but we reserve the right at any time to terminate, to suspend or from time to time to modify the Plan and the Notes offering in part, in its entirety or in respect of investors located in one or more states or other jurisdictions or to suspend new investments in the Notes. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate any of the investment options and redemption options described under “Dominion Energy Reliability Investment—How to Make an Investment,” “—Investment Options” and “—How to Redeem.” No termination, modification or suspension shall affect your rights unless the proposed action shall have been communicated to you in sufficient time prior to its effective date to allow you to redeem Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the terms in effect prior to the effective date of such termination, modification or suspension. No such termination or modification of the Plan or suspension or any provision in the Plan may diminish the principal of any Note or unpaid interest on any Note. Any modification that affects the rights or duties of the trustee may be made only with the consent of the trustee.

The indenture shall cease to be of further effect, and the trustee, on our demand and at our cost and expense, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging the indenture if at any time we shall have terminated the Plan pursuant to its provisions, all of the Notes shall have become due and payable, we shall have deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds the entire amount sufficient to pay all the outstanding Notes, including principal and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or, if we shall have given notice for the full redemption of all outstanding Notes, the date of redemption, and we shall have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by us under the indenture.

24

RIGHTS MAY NOT BE ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED OR PLEDGED

Except for redemptions, and except for the right to debit amounts credited in error to investment balances, there is no provision in the Plan, in the indenture or in our arrangements with the agent bank under which any person has or may create any lien on amounts credited to your investment balance in the Notes. You may not assign, transfer or pledge rights under the Notes, except upon redemption.

25

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have engaged Georgeson Securities Corporation (GSC) to assist us with the offering of the Notes as an accommodating broker in states where applicable securities laws require such offerings to be made by a registered broker-dealer. GSC is a registered broker-dealer in all fifty U.S. states. GSC is not underwriting the Notes, has no obligation to purchase any Notes and is not obligated to find or qualify purchasers of the Notes. GSC has not prepared a report or opinion constituting recommendations or advice to us in connection with the Notes. In addition, GSC does not make any recommendations as to whether any investor should purchase the Notes. No commissions will be paid to GSC. We will pay GSC an annual administrative fee of $17,500 for its services with respect to the Notes. In certain jurisdictions, we are offering the Notes on a continuing basis directly on our behalf. We may also from time to time designate other agents through whom Notes may be offered. We reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify the offer to purchase Notes at any time. We have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any proposed purchase of Notes in whole or in part.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following is an itemized statement of estimated expenses of Dominion Energy in connection with the issue of the Notes:

SEC filing fee	$	124,500
Fees and expenses of agent bank	$	120,000
Fees and expenses of trustee	$	5,000
Printing expenses	$	5,000
Accountants’ fees and expenses	$	17,500
Counsel fees and expenses	$	30,000
Miscellaneous	$	17,500
Total	$	319,500

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article VI of Dominion Energy’s Articles of Incorporation mandates indemnification of its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the Virginia Act) and any other applicable law. The Virginia Act permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against liability incurred in all proceedings, including derivative proceedings, arising out of their service to the corporation or to other corporations or enterprises that the officer or director was serving at the request of the corporation, except in the case of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of a criminal law. Dominion Energy is required to indemnify its directors and officers in all such proceedings if they have not violated this standard. Dominion Energy has also entered into agreements relating to the advancement of expenses for certain of its directors and officers in advance of a final disposition of proceedings or the making of any determination of eligibility for indemnification pursuant to Dominion Energy’s Articles of Incorporation.

In addition, Article VI of Dominion Energy’s Articles of Incorporation limits the liability of its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the Virginia Act as now and hereafter in effect. The Virginia Act places a limit on the liability of a director or officer in derivative or shareholder proceedings equal to the lesser of (i) the amount specified in the corporation’s articles of incorporation or a shareholder-approved bylaw; or (ii) the greater of (a) $100,000 or (b) twelve months of cash compensation received by the director or officer. The limit does not apply in the event the director or officer has engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of a criminal law or a federal or state securities law. The effect of Dominion Energy’s Articles of Incorporation, together with the Virginia Act, is to eliminate liability of directors and officers for monetary damages in derivative or shareholder proceedings so long as the required standard of conduct is met.

Dominion Energy has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies. Within the limits of their coverage, the policies insure (1) the directors and officers of Dominion Energy against certain losses resulting from claims against them in their capacities as directors and officers to the extent that such losses are not indemnified by Dominion Energy and (2) Dominion Energy to the extent that it indemnifies such directors and officers for losses as permitted under the laws of Virginia.

The Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Plan provides for the indemnification of officers and directors of Dominion Energy under certain circumstances.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement, or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-2

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 in the registration statement above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities

II-3

(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

III. Participation

Participation in the Plan shall be entirely voluntary.

IV. Establishment of Plan Investments—Note Register

Plan Investments shall be established by the Eligible Investor delivering to the Company or to the Agent Bank, as the Committee from time to time may designate, a properly executed application (the “Application”), which shall require such information and provide such elections as the Committee from time to time may determine, together with such other forms and undertakings as may be designated by the Committee from time to time.

Subject to such limitations or regulations as the Committee from time to time may prescribe, each Eligible Investor may establish and maintain one or more of the following types of investments: individual investments, joint investments with Immediate Family Members, trust investments established for the benefit of an Eligible Investor, trust investments established for the benefit of an Immediate Family Member, and custodial investments for an Immediate Family Member pursuant to the applicable Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of the state in which the Eligible Investor resides. In the case of any trust investment, the income of such trust must be subject to U.S. Federal income taxation regardless of its source.

The Committee may designate from time to time methods of making investments under the Plan which shall be subject to such limitations and requirements as the Committee may determine.

VI. Interest Rate

Each Note shall bear interest from time to time at a floating rate per annum to be determined by the Committee on a weekly basis to be effective on the following Monday. Such rate of interest will be determined by the Committee in the manner and on the basis chosen by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may delegate the authority to set the interest rate on the Notes to the Treasurer of the Company or such other person or persons as the Committee determines in its sole discretion.

2

Interest on each Note shall accrue and be compounded daily based on a 365/366-day year. Accrued interest shall be automatically reinvested in the Notes as of the last day of each calendar month.

VII. Redemption of Notes—Termination of Plan Investments

(a) Subject to the provisions of this paragraph VII, Registered Investment Owners may redeem all or part of the principal amount of the Note evidencing amounts invested by the Registered Investment Owner in the Notes at any time and from time to time by written request to the Agent Bank for redemption by check (subject to such minimum redemption amounts, fees and other limitations and requirements as the Committee may determine). The Committee may designate from time to time other methods of redemption of the Notes by the Registered Investment Owners under the Plan which shall be subject to such limitations and requirements as the Committee may determine.

A Registered Investment Owner may elect voluntarily to terminate participation in the Plan and close such Registered Investment Owner’s Plan Investment by written or telephonic notice to the Agent Bank. Upon election by the Registered Investment Owner to terminate participation in the Plan, all amounts credited to the principal amount of the Notes held by such Registered Investment Owner, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Business Day next following the effective date of such termination, less applicable fees, shall be paid by check to the Registered Investment Owner as such Owner’s interests shall appear at the Registered Investment Address.

(b) The Company shall have the right to redeem, at any time at its option, including in the event the Plan is modified, suspended or terminated pursuant to paragraph XIII hereof, all or any part of the Notes. Any partial redemption of the Notes will be effected by lot or pro rata or by any other method that is deemed fair and appropriate by the Agent Bank. Interest on the redeemed amount shall cease to accrue on and after the effective date on which the redeemed principal amount shall have become due and payable.

(c) With respect to any Plan Investment which shall have a Plan Investment Note Balance of less than $1,000 (or such other amount as the Committee from time to time may determine without any prior notice to the Investors) (the “Minimum Investment Note Balance”) and to which no investment shall have been made (other than the crediting of interest thereto pursuant to the provisions of paragraph VI hereof) for a continuing period of three calendar months immediately preceding determination of such deficiency (or such other period as the Committee from time to time may determine), the Company shall have the right, after 60 days following the date of a written notice to the Investor (provided that the Plan Investment Note Balance shall not have been restored to the Minimum Investment Note Balance during such 60-day period), to terminate such Investor’s investment in the Notes and to redeem the principal amount of the Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon less applicable fees. In the event of such a redemption, the Company shall cause the Agent Bank to mail the proceeds thereof to the Registered Investment Owner as such Registered Investment Owner’s registered interests shall appear at the Registered Investment Address and to terminate the Plan Investment. Interest on the redeemed amount shall cease to accrue on and after the effective date on which the redeemed principal amount shall have become due and payable. With respect to any Plan Investment which shall have a Plan Investment Note Balance of greater than $1,250,000 (or such other amount as the Committee from time to time may determine without any prior notice to the Investors) (the “Maximum Investment Note Balance”) for a continuing period of three calendar months immediately preceding the determination of such excess (or such other period as the Committee from time to time may determine), the Company shall have the right, after 30 days following the date of a written notice to the Investor (provided that the Plan Investment Note Balance shall not have been reduced to be equal to or less than the Maximum Investment Note Balance during such 30-day period), to redeem the principal amount of the Notes in excess of the Maximum Investment Note Balance (or such greater amount as specified by the Committee in the notice to the Investor) together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, less applicable fees. In the event of such a redemption, the Company shall cause the Agent Bank to mail the proceeds thereof to the Registered Investment Owner as such Registered Investment Owner’s registered interests shall appear at the Registered Investment Address. Interest on the redeemed principal amount shall cease to accrue on and after the effective date on which the redeemed principal amount shall have become due and payable.

The Company shall have the right to redeem any Notes of any Investor who is not or is no longer eligible to invest in the Notes in accordance with Part II hereof, or who has abused or misused the investment or redemption provisions applicable to the Notes or whose investments are otherwise inconsistent with the objectives of the Plan, in each case as the Company determines in its sole judgment and discretion. In such circumstances, the Company

3

shall notify the Registered Investment Owner of its intention to redeem in full the Notes on the third Business Day following the date of the Company’s notice. In the event of such a redemption, the Company shall cause the Agent Bank to mail the proceeds thereof to the Registered Investment Owner as such Registered Investment Owner’s registered interests shall appear at the Registered Investment Address. Interest on the redeemed principal amount shall cease to accrue on and after the effective date on which the redeemed principal amount shall have become due and payable.

The Company shall have the right to redeem from time to time, without prior notice to any Investor, all or a portion of the Notes of an Investor in an amount equal to any applicable fees established under the Plan that are then owed by such Investor. In such instance, the redemption proceeds shall be deemed paid by reducing the principal amount of such Investor’s Notes by the amount of such unpaid fees, which reduction shall be applied to the payment of such fees. Such redemption shall be effective upon notice from the Company to the Agent Bank, and the date of such notice shall be the effective date for the redemption of such amount of the Notes. On the effective date of such a redemption any interest on the portion of the Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. Notice of such redemptions shall be provided to the Registered Investment Owner of the Notes so redeemed in the manner and at the times as determined from time to time by the Committee.

VIII. Trustee

The Company shall appoint one or more banks, corporations or other entities to act as trustee (the “Trustee”) for Notes issued pursuant to the Plan and shall enter into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with such bank, corporation or other entity which meets the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Subject to the requirements of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture from time to time.

IX. Agent Bank

The Company shall appoint one or more banks, corporations or other entities to act as agent under the Plan (the “Agent Bank”) and at any time may remove the Agent Bank and appoint a successor Agent Bank.

X. Committee

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the establishment of a Dominion Energy Reliability Investment Committee (the “Committee”) consisting of at least three persons. The Committee shall initially consist of the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer and two Assistant Treasurers. The Treasurer of the Company shall from time to time designate an alternate for each of such members, who shall have full power to act in the absence or inability to act of such member. The Committee shall act by a majority of its members, with or without a meeting.

The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer the Plan, to interpret its provisions, to adopt forms for use thereunder, to adopt rules and regulations in connection therewith and to make the determinations thereunder provided for it to be made. Any interpretation of the provisions of the Plan by the Committee shall be final and conclusive, and shall bind and may be relied on by all parties in interest to the Plan.

No member of the Committee or alternate for a member or a director, officer or employee of the Company shall be liable for any action or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, except for his or her own bad faith. Each director, officer or employee of the Company who is or shall have been designated to act on behalf of the Company and each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or an alternate for a member or a director, officer or employee of the Company, as such, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof (with the Company’s written approval) or paid by him or her in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except a judgment in favor of the Company based upon a finding of his or her bad faith subject, however, to the condition that, upon the assertion or institution of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding against him or her, he or she shall in writing give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle

4

and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right to which such person may be entitled as a matter of law or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify him or her or hold him or her harmless.

XI. Plan Investment Statements

On approximately the last day of each calendar month (or such other date as the Committee shall determine), there shall be furnished with respect to each Plan Investment a statement setting forth a summary of all transactions in such Plan Investment during the previous month, including beginning and ending Plan Investment Balances, interest credited, and such additional information as the Committee from time to time may determine. Such statements shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Investor and other Registered Investment Owners as correct unless written notice to the contrary shall be received by the Agent Bank within 30 days after the mailing of such statement to the Registered Investment Address.

XII. Notices, etc.

All notices, statements and other communications from the Agent Bank or the Company to an Investor, other Registered Investment Owner or designated beneficiary shall be deemed to have been duly given, furnished, delivered or transmitted, as the case may be, when delivered to (or when mailed to) the most recent Registered Investment Address.

All notices, instructions and other communications from an Investor or other Registered Investment Owner to the Company or Agent Bank required or permitted hereunder (including without limitation Applications and redemption requests) shall be in the respective forms from time to time prescribed therefor by the Committee, shall be mailed by first-class mail or delivered to such location as shall be specified by and upon forms prescribed by the Committee and shall be deemed to have been duly given and delivered upon receipt by the Company or the Agent Bank, as the case may be, at such location.

From time to time as necessary to facilitate the administration of the Plan, the Company, the Agent Bank, the Trustee and the Committee shall deliver to each other copies or consolidations of such notices, instructions or other communications in respect of the Plan as it may receive from Investors or Registered Investment Owners.

XIII. Termination, Suspension and Modification

The Company may terminate the Plan at any time or from time to time suspend or modify the Plan, in part, in its entirety or in respect of the employees of the Company or in respect of any person or persons designated as Eligible Investors. The Company may at any time or from time to time terminate or modify the Plan or suspend for any period the operation of any provision thereof in respect of any Investors located in one or more jurisdictions. Any such termination, modification or suspension of the Plan may affect Investors in the Plan at the time thereof, as well as future Investors, but may not affect the rights of an Investor unless such proposed action shall have been communicated to such Investor in sufficient time prior to the effective date thereof to permit such Investor to redeem amounts credited to his or her Plan Investment together with accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the terms of the Plan in effect prior to the effective date of such termination, modification or suspension. The Company shall notify the Trustee promptly after any such termination, modification or suspension of the Plan. Any modification that adversely affects the rights or duties of the Trustee may be made only with the consent of the Trustee.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no such termination or modification of the Plan or suspension or any provision thereof may diminish the principal amount of any Note, or such Investor’s unpaid interest thereon.

XIV. Rights Not Transferable

Except in the case of (i) Note redemptions in accordance with paragraph VII hereof, and (ii) the establishment and subsequent termination of joint, custodial and trust Plan Investments, no right or interest of any Investor or other Registered Investment Owner under the Plan or in such Investor’s Plan Investment or the Notes issued in connection therewith shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise,

5

including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any other manner, but excluding devolution by death or mental incompetency; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Investor, other Registered Investment Owner or designated beneficiary under the Plan or in a Plan Investment or the Notes issued in connection therewith shall be pledged or hypothecated to secure, or otherwise be made subject to, any obligation or liability of such Investor or other Registered Investment Owner. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph XIV, a Plan Investment may be debited for all amounts which the Company or the Agent Bank shall have caused, in error, to be credited to such Plan Investment.

XV. Fees

The Committee may designate from time to time such fees in connection with investments or redemptions in the Notes or otherwise in connection with the Notes, including fees for checks, for returned checks and for stop payment requests, as shall be determined by the Committee, provided the Committee shall communicate such fees to the Investors in sufficient time prior to the effective date thereof to permit the Investors to redeem amounts credited to their respective Plan Investments together with accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the terms of the Plan in effect prior to the effective date of such fees.

XVI. Miscellaneous

The records of the Company, the Agent Bank, the Trustee and the Committee shall be conclusive in respect of all matters involved in the administration of the Plan.

Except as specified in paragraph XV, all expenses of administering the Plan, including without limitation the fees of the Agent Bank and the Trustee and other expenses charged or incurred by the Agent Bank and the Trustee, shall be borne by the Company, and no charge or penalty shall be imposed by the Company, the Agent Bank or the Trustee against any Plan Investment or Registered Investment Owner by reason of participation in the Plan; provided, however, that neither the Company, the Agent Bank nor the Trustee shall have any liability for any cost incurred by a Registered Investment Owner including, but not limited to, costs incurred in connection with the wiring of funds to make investments under the Plan.

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

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid.

Section 104. Acts of Holders.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

If a record date is fixed, those persons who were Holders of Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons shall be entitled to take such action or to revoke any such previous action, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act shall be valid or effective for more than one hundred twenty (120) days after such record date.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 301. Redemption of All or Part of the Securities.

The Company may redeem, at any time in its discretion, all or any portion of any of the Securities issued pursuant to the Plan and under this Indenture. In case the Company shall desire to exercise any right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities, it shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such redemption at least twenty (20) and not more than sixty (60) days (except as otherwise provided in the Plan) prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Securities so to be redeemed at their last addresses as the same appear on the Security Register and to the Trustee. Such mailing shall be by first class mail or by such other method as shall be provided for in the Plan. The notice, if mailed or otherwise given in accordance with the method provided for in the Plan, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or such other method or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security.

Each such notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 301 shall specify the Redemption Date, the principal amount of the Security being redeemed, the manner in which the redemption price for the Security being redeemed shall be paid (which shall be by check mailed to the Holder unless otherwise specified in such notice) and that on and after the Redemption Date any interest on the Security, or on the portions thereof, being redeemed will cease to accrue.

Section 302. Redemption of a Specified Holder’s Securities.

(a) In addition to its right to redeem all or any part of the Securities under Section 301, the Company may redeem the Securities of specified Holders as set forth in this Section 302.

(b) The Company may redeem, at any time, in its discretion, all of the Securities of a Holder if the aggregate principal amount of the Securities held by such Holder is below the Minimum Account Balance and no investment has been made in Securities by such Holder (other than interest accrued and reinvested pursuant to provisions of the Plan) for a period of three calendar months immediately preceding the determination of such deficiency (or such other period as the Committee from time to time may determine). The Company will notify a Holder of its intention to redeem such Holder’s Securities under this Section 302(b). If such Holder does not make additional investments in Securities to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Securities held by such Holder to equal or exceed the Minimum Account Balance during the period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, the Company may redeem all of such Holder’s Securities on the thirty-first (31st) day following the date of such notice, which date shall be the Redemption Date for the redemption of such Securities. Such notice shall specify that on and after the Redemption Date any interest on the Securities being redeemed will cease to accrue.

(c) The Company may redeem, at any time, in its discretion, all or any portion of the Securities of a Holder if the aggregate principal amount of the Securities held by such Holder exceeds the Maximum Account Balance for a continuing period of three calendar months immediately preceding the determination of such excess (or such other period as the Committee from time to time may determine). The Company will notify a Holder of its intention to redeem such Holder’s Securities under this Section 302(c) to the extent the aggregate principal amount thereof exceeds the Maximum Account Balance (or such greater amount as the Company may specify in such notice). If such Holder does not redeem Securities in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Securities held by such Holder to an amount equal to or less than the Maximum Account Balance during the period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, the Company may redeem such Holder’s Securities to the extent the aggregate principal amount thereof exceeds the Maximum Account Balance (or such greater amount as is specified by the Company in such notice) on the thirty-first (31st) day following the date of such notice, which date shall be the Redemption Date for the redemption of such amount of the Securities. Such notice shall specify that on and after the Redemption Date any interest on the Securities being redeemed will cease to accrue.

(d) The Company shall have the right to redeem any Securities of any Holder who is not or is no longer eligible to invest in the Securities in accordance with the Plan, or who has abused or misused the investment or redemption provisions applicable to the Securities or whose investments are otherwise inconsistent with the objectives of the Plan, in each case as the Company determines in its sole judgment and discretion. In the event of such a redemption, the Company shall notify the Holder of its intention to redeem, pursuant to this Section 302(d), in

- 11 -

full such Holder’s Securities on the third Business Day following the date of the Company’s notice, which date shall be the Redemption Date for the redemption of such Securities. Such notice shall specify that on and after the Redemption Date any interest on the Securities being redeemed will cease to accrue.

Section 303. Payment of Redemption Price for Company Redemptions; Selection of Securities for Redemption.

If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 301 or Section 302, the Securities, or portions thereof, with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date less any applicable fees established under the Plan, and on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities, together with any interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date and less any applicable fees) any interest on the Securities, or on the portions thereof, so called for redemption shall cease to accrue.

On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 301 or Section 302, the Company will deposit with the Trustee, the Agent Bank or with one (1) or more Paying Agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Securities, or portions thereof, so called for redemption, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption less any applicable fees established under the Plan. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 301, the Company will give the Agent Bank notice not less than sixty (60) days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Agent Bank) prior to the Redemption Date as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the Agent Bank shall select or cause to be selected, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed.

Section 304. Redemption at the Option of the Holder.

(a) Subject to the right of the Company to establish from time to time a minimum amount for any redemption in part, a Security may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at the option of, and upon the demand by, the Holder by delivering to the Agent Bank in writing a notice to such effect, including by bank check drawn on the Agent Bank, or by following such other procedures as shall be established under the Plan. Such notice shall contain the information specified by the Company from time to time as the information which is required by the Company in order to properly process the redemption request. The Company may establish from time to time additional methods of redemption that may be elected by the Holder.

(b) Upon receipt by the Agent Bank of an appropriate redemption notice as provided for in clause (a) of this Section 304, the Securities, or portions thereof, with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date (which date shall be no later than the next Business Day following receipt of such notice) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus, and in the case of a redemption of all Securities held by such Holder, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date less applicable fees established under the Plan. In the case of any redemption, whether in whole or in part, on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Securities, together with any interest accrued to the Redemption Date) any interest on the Securities (or portions thereof) so called for redemption shall cease to accrue.

- 12 -

(c) On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 304, the Company will deposit with the Trustee, the Agent Bank or with one (1) or more Paying Agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Securities, or portions thereof, with respect to which the notice of redemption has been given, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. The amount of any redemption at the option of the Holder under this Section 304 shall be paid by check sent to the Holder at such Holder’s registered address, provided that the Company may establish from time to time additional methods that may be elected by the Holder for this payment of such redemption amount.

Section 305. Redemption by Offsetting Application of Fees.

The Company may from time to time redeem, without prior notice to any Holder, all or a portion of the Securities of a Holder in an amount equal to any applicable fees established under the Plan that are then owed by such Holder. In such instance, the redemption proceeds shall be deemed paid by reducing the principal amount of such Holder’s Securities by the amount of such unpaid fees, which reduction shall be applied to the payment of such fees. Such redemption shall be effective upon notice from the Company to the Agent Bank, and the date of such notice shall be the Redemption Date for the redemption of such amount of the Securities. On the Redemption Date any interest on the portion of the Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. Notice of such redemptions shall be provided to any such Holder in the manner and at the times as determined from time to time by the Committee.

(1) default in the payment of any part of or all the principal of or interest on any Security as and when the same shall be due and payable, in accordance with the then current provisions and rules and regulations of the Plan and this Indenture; provided, however, that (a) the failure of the Company to make any payment of the principal of or interest on any Security, or any delay in making such payment shall not be considered in determining whether an “Event of Default” shall have occurred if (i) the Agent Bank in good faith believes that the Security is subject to a conflicting claim, attachment, lien or proceeding, or any person demanding such payment is not, or may not be, legally entitled thereto, or the amount of the payment demanded exceeds the principal amount of the Security according to the Security Register, or the demand for payment has not been made in accordance with the then current provisions and rules and regulations of the Plan, or the payment cannot be made in accordance with the then current provisions and rules and regulations of the Plan or (ii) the Company shall have paid over to the Trustee for deposit to an account not subject to offset, charge or encumbrance by the Trustee the amount of the principal of or interest on any Security which has become due and payable, and if requested by the Trustee the Company shall have furnished the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificates as to the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii); and (b) an administrative error relating to a Security or improperly identifying the Security of a Holder shall not be considered in determining whether an “Event of Default” shall have occurred unless such error shall have continued uncorrected for a period of sixty (60) days after written notification thereof to the Agent Bank and the Trustee by the related Holder; or

(2) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of the Company in this Indenture (other than a default referred to in clause (1) above), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of sixty (60) days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder.

- 14 -

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority in the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare all of the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(A) the principal of any Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities;

(B) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities; and

(C) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

(2) all Events of Default with respect to the Securities, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 607.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

(2) the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 512. Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy

- 18 -

available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities, provided that

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

(2) subject to Section 601, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall reasonably determine, in good faith, that the action or proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to any Holders not joining in such direction or would involve the Trustee in any personal liability unless indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction, and

(3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default

(1) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 514. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on the Security on or after the applicable due date therefor provided pursuant to the Plan (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein).

(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority; provided, however, that if Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Trust Indenture Act at any time permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any other jurisdiction to serve as trustee of an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, this Section 609 shall be automatically amended to permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any such other jurisdiction to serve as Trustee hereunder. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

(d) If at any time:

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one (1) year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

- 25 -

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

(a) Subject to Subsection (b) of this Section, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company within three months prior to a default, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the Holders of the Securities and the holders of other indenture securities, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section:

- 26 -

(1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest, effected after the beginning of such three months’ period and valid as against the Company and its other creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property described in paragraph (2) of this Subsection, or from the exercise of any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such default; and

(2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claims as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such three (3) months’ period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds.

Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee:

(A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any such claim by any Person (other than the Company) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third Person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities or other property in respect of claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law;

(B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the beginning of such three (3) months’ period;

(C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such three months’ period and such property was received as security therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such property was received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section, would occur within three months; or

(D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or (C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as provided in paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property.

For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted after the beginning of such three (3) months’ period for property held as security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such pre-existing claim.

- 27 -

If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned among the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee and the Holders and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term “dividends” shall include any distribution with respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceedings for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee and the Holders and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.

Any Trustee which has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such three (3) months’ period shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such three months’ period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection if and only if the following conditions exist:

(i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim, which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued as Trustee, occurred after the beginning of such three (3) months’ period; and

(ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within three months after such resignation or removal.

- 28 -

(b) There shall be excluded from the operation of Subsection (a) of this Section a creditor relationship arising from:

(1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one (1) year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee;

(2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by this Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advances and of the circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Holders at the time and in the manner provided in this Indenture;

(3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity;

(4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section;

(5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a corporation organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a creditor of the Company; and

(6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section.

(c) For the purposes of this Section only:

(1) the term “default” means any failure to make payment in full of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities or upon the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable;

(2) the term “other indenture securities” means securities upon which the Company is an obligor outstanding under any other indenture (i) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (ii) which contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section, and (iii) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in such special account;

(3) the term “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;

- 29 -

(4) the term “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation;

(5) the term “Company” means any obligor upon the Securities; and

(6) the term “Federal Bankruptcy Code” means the Bankruptcy Code or Title 11 of the United States Code.

1.    Organizational Status. The Company is a validly existing corporation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

2.    Power and Authority. The Company has the corporate power and authority to issue the Debt Securities.

3.    Debt Securities. With respect to any Debt Securities, when (i) such Debt Securities have been issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any applicable supplement to such Prospectus, (ii) the Company has received the consideration provided for in the

3

Prospectus; and (iii) an individual record or entries in the name of the particular Holder has been established for such Debt Securities on the Security Register as provided for in the Indenture, such Debt Securities will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, under the laws of the State of New York.

Matters Excluded from Our Opinions

We express no opinion with respect to the following matters:

(a)    Indemnification and Change of Control. The enforceability of any agreement of the Company as may be included in the terms of the Debt Securities or in the Indenture relating to (i) indemnification, contribution or exculpation from costs, expenses or other liabilities or (ii) changes in the organizational control or ownership of the Company, which agreement (in the case of clause (i) or clause (ii)) is contrary to public policy or applicable law.

(b)    Jurisdiction, Venue, etc. The enforceability of any agreement of the Company in the Indenture to submit to the jurisdiction of any specific federal or state court (other than the enforceability in a court of the State of New York of any such agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of a court of the State of New York), to waive any objection to the laying of the venue, to waive the defense of forum non conveniens in any action or proceeding referred to therein, to waive trial by jury, to effect service of process in any particular manner or to establish evidentiary standards, and any agreement of the Company regarding the choice of law governing the Indenture (other than the enforceability in a court of the State of New York or in a federal court sitting in the State of New York and applying New York law to any such agreement that the laws of the State of New York shall govern).

(c)    Certain Laws. The following state laws, and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the effect of such laws and regulations, on the opinions expressed herein: securities (including Blue Sky laws).

(d)    Remedies. The enforceability of any provision in the Indenture to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, that the election of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others or that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy.

Qualifications and Limitations Applicable to Our Opinions

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and limitations:

(a)    Applicable Law. Our opinions are limited to the Applicable Law, and we do not express any opinion concerning any other law.

(b)    Bankruptcy. Our opinions are subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, laws relating to preferences, fraudulent transfers and equitable subordination), reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(c)    Equitable Principles. Our opinions are subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. In applying such

4

principles, a court, among other things, might limit the availability of specific equitable remedies (such as injunctive relief and the remedy of specific performance), might not allow a creditor to accelerate maturity of debt or exercise other remedies upon the occurrence of a default deemed immaterial or for non-credit reasons or might decline to order a debtor to perform covenants in an Indenture.

(d)    Unenforceability of Certain Provisions. Provisions contained in the Debt Securities or the Indenture which require waivers or amendments to be made only in writing may be unenforceable or ineffective, in whole or in part. The inclusion of such provisions, however, does not render any Subject Document invalid as a whole.

(e)    Choice of New York Law and Forum. To the extent that our opinions relate to the enforceability of the choice of New York law or any choice of New York forum provisions of the Indenture, our opinion is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§ 5-1401 and 5-1402 and N.Y. CPLR 327(b) and is subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be limited by principles of public policy, comity and constitutionality. We express no opinion as to whether a United States federal court would have subject-matter or personal jurisdiction over a controversy arising under the Indenture.

Miscellaneous

The foregoing opinions are being furnished only for the purpose referred to in the first paragraph of this opinion letter. Our opinions are based on statutes, regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations which are subject to change.
