4.65% Series B Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock

Number and Designation. 800,000 shares of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be designated as “4.65% Series B Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Corporation may authorize and issue additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, and such additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be deemed to form a single series together with all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series B Preferred Stock, except as to the respective dates from which dividends thereon shall accumulate, to the extent such dates may differ as permitted pursuant to Section IIIB(4)(a) below.

Certain Definitions. As used in this Article IIIB, the following terms shall have the meanings given to them in this Section IIIB(2). Any capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth elsewhere in the Articles of Incorporation, unless the context otherwise requires.

Rank. The Series B Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and/or rights upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, as applicable, shall rank (i) senior to all Junior Stock, (ii) on a parity with all Parity Stock and (iii) junior to all Senior Stock and the Corporation’s existing and future indebtedness. The Corporation may issue Parity Stock and Junior Stock at any time and from time to time in one or more series without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Dividends.

Rate. (i) Subject to the rights of holders of any class of Capital Stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends under Virginia law, cumulative cash dividends per each share of Series B Preferred Stock at the rate determined as set forth below in this Section IIIB(4) applied to the Liquidation Preference amount of $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall accumulate daily and shall be cumulative from, and including, the Issue Date (or the most recent Dividend Payment Date through which dividends have been paid) and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day of each June and December, commencing on June 15, 2020 (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”); provided, that if any such Dividend Payment Date is a day that is not a Business Day, the dividend with respect to such Dividend Payment Date shall instead be payable on the immediately succeeding Business Day, without additional dividends, interest or other payment in respect of such delayed payment. Dividends on Series B Preferred Stock shall be cumulative whether or not (i) the Corporation has earnings, (ii) the payment of such dividends is then permitted under Virginia law, (iii) those dividends are authorized or declared or (iv) the Corporation is party to any agreements that prohibit the current payment of dividends, including any agreements relating to the Corporation’s indebtedness. Accordingly, if the Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock payable in respect of any Dividend Period before the related Dividend Payment Date, such dividend shall accumulate and an amount equal to such accumulated dividend shall become payable out of funds legally available therefor upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation (or earlier redemption of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock), to the extent not paid prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or earlier redemption, as the case may be. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable on any dividend payment that may be in arrears on the Series B Preferred Stock.

Dividends that are payable on Series B Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be payable to holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation as of the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day before such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”) or, if the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are held as Global Preferred Shares, the Dividend Record Date shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date. Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day. In the case of payments of accumulated dividends payable in arrears, the Dividend Record Date shall be such date fixed by the Board of Directors.

Dividends payable on the Series B Preferred Stock, including dividends payable for any partial Dividend Period, shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. Dividends payable on any Dividend Payment Date shall include dividends accumulated to, but excluding, such Dividend Payment Date.

The initial dividend rate for the Series B Preferred Stock from and including the Issue Date to, but excluding, the First Call Date will be 4.65% per annum of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share. On and after the First Call Date, the dividend rate on the Series B Preferred Stock for each Reset Period will be equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the most recent Reset Dividend Determination Date plus a spread of 2.993%.

The applicable dividend rate for each Reset Period will be determined by the calculation agent, as of the applicable Reset Dividend Determination Date. Promptly upon such determination, the calculation agent will notify the Corporation of the dividend rate for the Reset Period. The calculation agent’s determination of any dividend rate, and its calculation of the amount of dividends for any Dividend Period beginning on or after the First Call Date will be on file at the Corporation’s principal offices, will be made available to any holder of the Series B Preferred Stock upon request and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.

Priority of Dividends. (i) The Corporation shall not declare or pay, or set aside for payment, full dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock or any Parity Stock for any Dividend Period unless the full cumulative dividends have been declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside) on the Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock through the most recently completed Dividend Period for each such security. When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside) in full on the Series B Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the related Dividend Period), all dividends declared on the Series B Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accumulated but unpaid dividends per share on the Series B Preferred Stock and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) bear to each other. Any portion of such dividends not declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside) that are payable upon the Series B Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock in respect of such Dividend Period on such Dividend Payment Date shall accumulate, and an amount equal to such undeclared portion of such dividends shall become payable out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up (or earlier redemption of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock), to the extent not paid prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding- up or earlier redemption, as the case may be.

During any Dividend Period, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless the full cumulative dividends have been declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside) on the Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock through the most recently completed Dividend Period for each such security: (x) no dividend shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Junior Stock); and (y) no Common Stock or other Junior Stock shall be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than (a) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Junior Stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of current or former employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with Dominion Energy Direct or any successor plan thereto; (b) purchases of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy Common Stock existing prior to the commencement of the first Dividend Period for which dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are unpaid, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan; (c) the purchase of, or the payment of cash in lieu of, fractional interests in Junior Stock (x) in connection with a bona fide acquisition of a business or (y) pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Junior Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such Junior Stock; (d) any declaration of a dividend on the Capital Stock of the Corporation in connection with the implementation of a shareholders rights plan designed to protect the Corporation against unsolicited offers to acquire its Capital Stock, or the issuance of Capital Stock of the Corporation under

The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank junior as to payment of dividends to any class or series of Senior Stock that the Corporation may issue in the future. If at any time the Corporation has failed to pay, on the applicable payment date, accumulated dividends on any class or series of Senior Stock, the Corporation may not pay any dividends on the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock or redeem or otherwise repurchase any shares of Series B Preferred Stock until the Corporation has paid or set aside for payment the full amount of the unpaid dividends on the Senior Stock that must, under the terms of such securities, be paid before the Corporation may pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase, the Series B Preferred Stock.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside) at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration and payment (or declaration and setting aside a sum sufficient for the payment thereof) under any such agreement would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if the declaration and payment (or the declaration and setting aside a sum sufficient for the payment thereof) would constitute a breach of or a default under any such agreement or shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

Subject to the foregoing, dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on the Common Stock and any other shares of Junior Stock from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

Liquidation Preference.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the Corporation’s assets (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock (with respect to liquidation rights), holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Preference”) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not authorized or declared), accumulated and unpaid thereon, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of final distribution to such holders, but subject to the prior payment in full of all the Corporation’s liabilities and the payment of Senior Stock. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets, or proceeds thereof, are insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on Series B Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock (with respect to liquidation rights only), then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock (with respect to liquidation rights) ratably in proportion to the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock, send a written notice by first class mail to each holder of record of the Series B Preferred Stock at such holder’s registered address, of any event triggering the right to receive a distribution in connection with any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person, nor the voluntary sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property or assets shall be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any Parity Stock (with respect to liquidation rights), after payment has been made in full to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, as provided in this Section IIIB(5), holders of Junior Stock (with respect to liquidation rights) shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.

No Maturity. The Series B Preferred Stock has no maturity date or mandatory conversion date.

Redemption.

Optional Redemption. The Corporation may, at its option, redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section IIIB(7)(c) below, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on the First Call Date or any subsequent Reset Date, at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, or (ii) in whole but not in part, within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by the Corporation following the occurrence of a Ratings Event, at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,020 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, such redemption date.

No Sinking Fund. The Series B Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund, retirement fund or purchase fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption, repurchase or retirement of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series B Preferred Stock is issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each such notice given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (5) that dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate from and after such redemption date.

Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of only part of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or by lot (or, in the event the Series B Preferred Stock is in the form of Global Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC). Subject to the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, so as to be and continue to be available therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accumulate on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Corporation, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

No Redemption at the Option of the Holder. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will have no right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Changes for Clarification.

Currency. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be denominated in U.S. currency, and all payments and distributions thereon or with respect thereto shall be made in U.S. currency. All references herein to “$”or “dollars” refer to U.S. currency.

Form.

Shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be issued in fully registered, certificated form and may be issued in the form of one or more permanent global shares of Series B Preferred Stock registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee (each, a “Global Series B Preferred Share”), which shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A. Series B Preferred Stock represented by the Global Series B Preferred Shares will be exchangeable for other certificates evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock only (x) if the Depositary (A) has notified the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Series B Preferred Shares or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after such notice or cessation, (y) if the Corporation determines at any time that the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be represented by Global Series B Preferred Shares, in which case it shall inform the Depositary of such determination, or (z) following the request of a beneficial owner of Series B Preferred Stock seeking to exercise or enforce its rights with respect to its shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In any such case, such new certificates evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be registered in the name or names of the Person or Person specified by the Depositary in a written instrument to the Registrar. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interest in a Global Series B Preferred Share will not be entitled to receive certificates evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Unless and until such Global Series B Preferred Share is exchanged for other certificates evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Global Series B Preferred Shares may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be made, only to the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Corporation or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

To the extent permitted by applicable procedures of the Depositary, certificates evidencing shares of the Series B Preferred Stock may be issued to represent fractional shares with a Liquidation Preference of $100 and integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof.

Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Corporation or any agent of the Corporation shall have the right to deduct and withhold from any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution) made with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment or distribution (or delivery) under applicable tax law without liability therefor. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid (or delivered) to the applicable holder of Series B Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation or any agent of the Corporation previously remitted any amounts to a governmental entity which was not actually withheld at the source on account of taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution) or delivery with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to an applicable holder of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation and any such agent shall be entitled to offset any such amounts against any future amounts otherwise payable or deliverable to the applicable holder hereunder or under any other instrument or agreement.”

Calculation Agent. Unless the Corporation has validly called all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock for redemption on the First Call Date, the Corporation will appoint a banking institution or trust company as calculation agent with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock prior to the Reset Dividend Determination Date preceding the First Call Date. If the Corporation is unable to appoint a calculation agent using commercially reasonable efforts, the Corporation may appoint itself or an affiliate as calculation agent. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, remove the calculation agent in accordance with the agreement between the Corporation and the calculation agent; provided that the Corporation shall appoint a successor calculation agent who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal. Upon any such removal or appointment, the Corporation shall send notice thereof in accordance with Section IIIB(10) hereof.

IIIC. 4.35% Series C Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock

Number and Designation. 1,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be designated as “4.35% Series C Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock” (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The Corporation may authorize and issue additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, and such additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be deemed to form a single series together with all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series C Preferred Stock, except as to the respective dates from which dividends thereon shall accumulate, to the extent such dates may differ as permitted pursuant to Section IIIB(4)(a) below.

Certain Definitions. As used in this Article IIIC, the following terms shall have the meanings given to them in this Section IIIC(2). Any capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth elsewhere in the Articles of Incorporation, unless the context otherwise requires.

Rate. (i) Subject to the rights of holders of any class of Capital Stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends under Virginia law, cumulative cash dividends per each share of Series C Preferred Stock at the rate determined as set forth below in this Section IIIC(4) applied to the Liquidation Preference amount of $1,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock shall accumulate daily and shall be cumulative from, and including, the Issue Date (or the most recent Dividend Payment Date through which dividends have been paid) and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15^th day of each April and October, commencing on April 15, 2022 (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”); provided, that if any such Dividend Payment Date is a day that is not a Business Day, the dividend with respect to such Dividend Payment Date shall instead be payable on the immediately succeeding Business Day, without additional dividends, interest or other payment in respect of such delayed payment. Dividends on Series C Preferred Stock shall be cumulative whether or not (i) the Corporation has earnings, (ii) the payment of such dividends is then permitted under Virginia law, (iii) those dividends are authorized or declared or (iv) the Corporation is party to any agreements that prohibit the current payment of dividends, including any agreements relating to the Corporation’s indebtedness. Accordingly, if the Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock payable in respect of any Dividend Period before the related Dividend Payment Date, such dividend shall accumulate and

Dividends that are payable on Series C Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be payable to holders of record of Series C Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation as of the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day before such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”) or, if the shares of Series C Preferred Stock are held as Global Preferred Shares, the Dividend Record Date shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date. Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day. In the case of payments of accumulated dividends payable in arrears, the Dividend Record Date shall be such date fixed by the Board of Directors.

Dividends payable on the Series C Preferred Stock, including dividends payable for any partial Dividend Period, shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. Dividends payable on any Dividend Payment Date shall include dividends accumulated to, but excluding, such Dividend Payment Date.

The initial dividend rate for the Series C Preferred Stock from and including the Issue Date to, but excluding, the First Reset Date will be 4.35% per annum of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share. On and after the First Reset Date, the dividend rate on the Series C Preferred Stock for each Reset Period will be equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the most recent Reset Dividend Determination Date plus a spread of 3.195%.

The applicable dividend rate for each Reset Period will be determined by the calculation agent, as of the applicable Reset Dividend Determination Date. Promptly upon such determination, the calculation agent will notify the Corporation of the dividend rate for the Reset Period. The calculation agent’s determination of any dividend rate, and its calculation of the amount of dividends for any Dividend Period beginning on or after the First Reset Date will be on file at the Corporation’s principal offices, will be made available to any holder of the Series C Preferred Stock upon request and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.

Priority of Dividends. (i). The Corporation shall not declare or pay, or set aside for payment, full dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock or any Parity Stock for any Dividend Period unless the full cumulative dividends have been declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside) on the Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock through the most recently completed Dividend Period for each such security. When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside) in full on the Series C Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the related Dividend Period), all dividends declared on the Series C Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accumulated but unpaid dividends per share on the Series C Preferred Stock and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) bear to each other. Any

During any Dividend Period, so long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless the full cumulative dividends have been declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside) on the Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock through the most recently completed Dividend Period for each such security: (x) no dividend shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Junior Stock); and (y) no Common Stock or other Junior Stock shall be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than (a) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Junior Stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of current or former employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with Dominion Energy Direct or any successor plan thereto; (b) purchases of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy Common Stock existing prior to the commencement of the first Dividend Period for which dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are unpaid, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan; (c) the purchase of, or the payment of cash in lieu of, fractional interests in Junior Stock (x) in connection with a bona fide acquisition of a business or (y) pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Junior Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such Junior Stock; (d) any declaration of a dividend on the

The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank junior as to payment of dividends to any class or series of Senior Stock that the Corporation may issue in the future. If at any time the Corporation has failed to pay, on the applicable payment date, accumulated dividends on any class or series of Senior Stock, the Corporation may not pay any dividends on the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock or redeem or otherwise repurchase any shares of Series C Preferred Stock until the Corporation has paid or set aside for payment the full amount of the unpaid dividends on the Senior Stock that must, under the terms of such securities, be paid before the Corporation may pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase, the Series C Preferred Stock.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock shall be declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside) at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration and payment (or declaration and setting aside a sum sufficient for the payment thereof) under any such agreement would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if the declaration and payment (or the declaration and setting aside a sum sufficient for the payment thereof) would constitute a breach of or a default under any such agreement or shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

Subject to the foregoing, dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on the Common Stock and any other shares of Junior Stock from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and the Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

    Liquidation Preference.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the Corporation’s assets (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock (with respect to liquidation rights), holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive $1,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Preference”) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not authorized or declared), accumulated and unpaid thereon, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of final distribution to such holders, but subject to the prior payment in full of all the Corporation’s liabilities and the payment of Senior Stock. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets, or proceeds thereof, are insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on Series C Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock (with respect to liquidation rights only), then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock (with respect to liquidation rights) ratably in proportion to the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock. The Corporation shall send a written notice by first class mail to each holder of record of the Series C Preferred Stock at such holder’s registered address, of any event triggering the right to receive a distribution in connection with any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person, nor the voluntary sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property or assets shall be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any Parity Stock (with respect to liquidation rights), after payment has been made in full to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, as provided in this Section IIIC(5), holders of Junior Stock (with respect to liquidation rights) shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.

No Maturity. The Series C Preferred Stock has no maturity date or mandatory conversion date.

Redemption.

Optional Redemption. The Corporation may, at its option, redeem the shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section IIIC(7)(c) below, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, during any Redemption Period, at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, or (ii) in whole but not in part, within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by the Corporation following the occurrence of a Ratings Event, at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,020 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, such redemption date.

The redemption price for any shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be payable on the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing such shares to the Corporation or its agent. Any declared and unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not constitute a part of or be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on the Dividend Record Date relating to such Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section IIIC(5) above.

No Sinking Fund. The Series C Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund, retirement fund or purchase fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption, repurchase or retirement of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 10 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series C Preferred Stock is issued in book-entry form through DTC or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each such notice given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (5) that dividends on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate from and after such redemption date.

Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of only part of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or by lot (or, in the event the Series C Preferred Stock is in the form of Global Series C Preferred Stock, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC). Subject to the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, so as to be and continue to be available therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accumulate on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of one year from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Corporation, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

No Redemption at the Option of the Holder. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will have no right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Series C Preferred Stock.

Voting Rights.

General. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.

Right to Elect Two Directors Upon Nonpayment Events. If and whenever dividends on any shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not have been paid in full for three semi-annual full Dividend Periods, whether or not consecutive (a “Nonpayment Event”), the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two and the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, together with the holders of any outstanding shares of Voting Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, with each series having a number of votes proportionate to the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of such series, shall be entitled to elect the two additional directors (the “Preferred Stock Directors”), provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any such Preferred Stock Director that the election of such director shall not cause the Corporation to violate the corporate governance requirement of the New York Stock Exchange (or any other securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Corporation may then be listed or traded) that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent directors.

In the event that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, and such other holders of Voting Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to vote for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors following a Nonpayment Event, such directors shall be initially elected following such Nonpayment Event only at a special meeting called at the request of the holders of record of at least 10% of the Series C Preferred Stock or of any other such series of Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding (unless such request for a special meeting is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, in which event such election shall be held only at such next annual or special meeting of stockholders), and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation. Such request to call a special meeting for the initial election of the Preferred Stock Directors after a Nonpayment Event shall be made by written notice, signed by the requisite holders of Series C Preferred Stock or Voting Preferred Stock, and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation in such manner as provided for in Section IIIC(10) below, or as may otherwise be required by law.

If and when all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock and all other voting preferred stock shall have been paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for payment, through the most recently completed Dividend Period following a Nonpayment Event, then the right of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock to elect the Preferred Stock Directors shall cease (but subject always to revesting of such voting rights in the case of any future Nonpayment Event pursuant to this Section IIIC(8) and the number of Dividend Periods in which dividends have not been paid shall be reset to zero), and, if and when any rights of holders of Series C Preferred Stock and Voting Preferred Stock to elect the Preferred Stock Directors shall have ceased, the terms of office of all the Preferred Stock Directors shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time without cause by the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and Voting Preferred Stock, when they have the voting rights described above (voting together as a single class). So long as a Nonpayment Event shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director (other than prior to the initial election of Preferred Stock Directors after a Nonpayment Event) may be filled by the written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and Voting Preferred Stock, when they have the voting rights described above (voting together as a single class). Any such vote of stockholders to remove, or to fill a vacancy in the office of, a Preferred Stock Director may be taken only at a special meeting of such stockholders, called as provided above for an initial election of Preferred Stock Director after a Nonpayment Event (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders, in which event such election shall be held at such next annual or special meeting of stockholders). The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter that shall come before the Board of Directors for a vote. Each Preferred Stock Director elected at any special meeting of stockholders or by written consent of the other Preferred Stock Director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders if such office shall not have previously terminated as above provided

Other Voting Rights. So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any Voting Preferred Stock (subject to the last paragraph of this Section IIIB(8)(c)) at the time outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

Authorization of Senior Stock. Any amendment or alteration of the Articles of Incorporation or these Articles of Amendment to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and/or the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation;

Any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series C Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such Series C Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole;

Changes for Clarification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, without the consent of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, so long as such action does not adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation may amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Series C Preferred Stock for the following purposes: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or mistake in any such agreement or instrument; (ii) to make any provision with respect to matters or questions relating to the Series C Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of these Articles of Amendment and that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Series C Preferred Stock; or (iii) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Series C Preferred Stock (other than any holder that consents to such change).

Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section IIIC(8)(b) or (8)(c) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such subsections, all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been set aside for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section IIIC(7) above.

Whether the vote or consent of the holders of a plurality, majority or other portion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any Voting Preferred Stock has been cast or given on any matter on which the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote shall be determined by the Corporation by reference to the specified liquidation amounts of the shares voted or covered by the consent.

Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation and the Transfer Agent for the Series C Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Series C Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor such Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Limit on Liability and Indemnification

To the full extent that the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, as it exists on the date hereof or may hereafter be amended, permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors or officers, a Director or officer of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages.

To the full extent permitted and in the manner prescribed by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and any other applicable law, the Corporation shall indemnify a Director or officer of the Corporation who is or was a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was such a Director or officer or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The Board of Directors is hereby empowered, by majority vote of a quorum or disinterested Directors, to contract in advance to indemnify any Director or officer.

The Board of Directors is hereby empowered, by majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Directors, to cause the Corporation to indemnify or contract in advance to indemnify any person not specified in Section 2 of this Article who was or is a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, to the same extent as if such person were specified as one to whom indemnification is granted in Section 2.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify it against the whole or any portion of the liability assumed by it in accordance with this Article and may also procure insurance, in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine, on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against or incurred by any such person in any such capacity or arising from his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

In the event there has been a change in the composition of a majority of the Board of Directors after the date of the alleged act or omission with respect to which indemnification is claimed, any determination as to indemnification and advancement of expenses with respect to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 2 of this Article VI shall be made by special legal counsel agreed upon by the Board of Directors and the proposed indemnitee. If the Board of Directors and the proposed indemnitee are unable to agree upon such special legal counsel, the Board of Directors and the proposed indemnitee each shall select a nominee, and the nominees shall select such special legal counsel.

The provisions of this Article VI shall be applicable to all actions, claims, suits or proceedings commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from any action taken or failure to act before or after such adoption. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article shall diminish the rights provided hereby or diminish the right to indemnification with respect to any claim, issue or matter in any then pending or subsequent proceeding that is based in any material respect on any alleged action or failure to act prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

Reference herein to Directors, officers, employees or agents shall include former Directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective heirs, executors and administrators.

Authorized Officer
