The Agent will provide written confirmation to the Company following the close of trading on the Exchange each day in which it has made sales of Issuance Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Issuance Shares sold on such day, the corresponding Sales Price, the Net Proceeds (as defined below) to the Company and the compensation payable by the Company to the Agent with respect to such sales. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that any Agent will be successful in selling Issuance Shares and (ii) no Agent will incur any liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Issuance Shares for any reason other than a failure by such Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Issuance Shares as required under this Section 3.

(c) On the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Confirmation, upon the Forward Purchaser and Forward Seller’s acceptance of the terms of a Placement Notice specifying that it relates to a “Forward” or upon receipt by the Forward Purchaser and Forward Seller of an Acceptance, as the case may be, and execution and delivery by all relevant parties of the related Confirmation, and unless the sale of the Forward Hedge Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or such Confirmation, such Forward Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliate to borrow a number of Forward Hedge Shares sufficient to have an aggregate Sales Price as close as reasonably practicable to the Forward Hedge Amount specified in the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) and the Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares at market prevailing prices, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable). Such Forward Seller will provide written confirmation to the Company and to the Forward Purchaser following the close of trading on the Exchange each day in which it has made sales of Forward Hedge Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold on such day, the corresponding Sales Price and the Forward Hedge Price payable to such Forward Purchaser in respect thereof. Each of the Company, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Forward Purchaser or any of its affiliates will be successful in borrowing or that the Forward Seller will be successful in selling Forward Hedge Shares, (ii) the Forward Seller will not incur any liability or obligation to the Company, the Forward Purchaser, or any other person or entity

if it does not sell Forward Hedge Shares borrowed by such Forward Purchaser or its affiliate for any reason other than a failure by such Forward Seller to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 3, and (iii) Forward Purchaser will not incur any liability or obligation to the Company, the Forward Seller, or any other person or entity if it or its affiliate does not borrow Forward Hedge Shares for any reason other than a failure by such Forward Purchaser to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliate to borrow such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 3. In acting hereunder, the Forward Seller will be acting as an agent for the applicable Forward Purchaser and not as principal.

(d) Promptly following the completion of the Forward Hedge Selling Period, the Forward Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Company a Pricing Supplement (in the form set forth on Annex B to the applicable Confirmation), which shall set forth the initial “Number of Shares” for such Forward (which shall be the Actual Sold Forward Amount for such Forward Hedge Selling Period), the “Hedge Completion Date” for such Forward and the “Initial Forward Price” for such Forward.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Forward Purchaser’s obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliate to borrow all or any portion of the Forward Hedge Shares (and the applicable Forward Seller’s obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such portion of the Forward Hedge Shares) for any Forward hereunder shall be subject in all respects to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the applicable Confirmation.

(f) The Shares may be offered and sold (A) by any method permitted by law to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including without limitation (1) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions (whether or not solicited), (2) to or through a market maker, (3) directly on or through the then existing trading market for the Common Stock, and (4) through an electronic communications network, or (B) by any other method permitted by applicable law and agreed to by the Company in writing, including without limitation (1) through an alternative trading system or any other market venue, (2) in the over-the-counter market, and (3) in privately negotiated transactions (including block trades).

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares (i) at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time, or (ii) in a number in excess of the number of Shares authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement, in each case, by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or an Authorized Company Representative, and notified to the Agent or Forward Seller, as applicable, in writing. In addition, the Company or the Agent or Forward Seller, as applicable, may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by facsimile or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the Company or Agent or Forward Seller, as applicable), suspend the offering of the Shares for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(h) Under no circumstances shall the aggregate offering price of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement and the Alternative Sales Agency Agreements exceed the lesser of the Maximum Amount, or the aggregate offering price of Shares of Common Stock (i) available for issuance under the Prospectus and the then currently effective Registration Statement, (ii) authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or an Authorized Company Representative, and notified to the Agent in writing, or (iii) approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, under no circumstances shall any Shares be sold at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or an Authorized Company Representative, and notified to the Agent or Forward Seller, as applicable, in writing.

(i) If the Company or the Agent believes that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act (applicable to securities with an average daily trading volume of $1,000,000 that are issued by an issuer whose common equity securities have a public float value of at least $150,000,000) are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Common Stock, it shall promptly notify the other parties and sales of Shares under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of all parties.

(j) The amount of any commission, discount or other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Agent, when the Agent is acting as agent, in connection with the sale of the Issuance Shares shall be determined in accordance with the terms set forth on Schedule 4. The gross proceeds (which shall be equal to the aggregate Sales Price of the applicable Issuance Shares) less the Agent compensation discussed above and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Issuance Shares (the Net Proceeds). The Agent shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable if any deduction referenced in the preceding sentence will be required. The amount of any commission, discount or other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Forward Seller, when the Forward Seller is acting as forward seller, in connection with the sale of Forward Hedge Shares shall be determined in accordance with the terms set forth on Schedule 4.

(k) Settlement for sales of the Issuance Shares sold by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement will occur on the Issuance Settlement Date. On each Issuance Settlement Date, the Issuance Shares sold through the Agent for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to the Agent against payment of the Net Proceeds for the sale of such Issuance Shares. Settlement for all such Issuance Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Issuance Shares by the Company or its transfer agent to the Agent’s account, or to the account of the Agent’s designee, at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System (DWAC) or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares of Common Stock in good deliverable form, in return for payments in same day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Issuance Shares on any Issuance Settlement Date, the Company shall (A) indemnify and hold the Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (B) pay the Agent any

commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. The individuals listed on Schedule 3 to this Agreement and any replacement or additional individuals identified to the Agent in writing by an Authorized Company Representative shall be the contact persons for the Company for all matters related to the settlement of the transfer of the Issuance Shares through DWAC for purposes of this Section. Settlement for sales of the Forward Hedge Shares will occur on the Forward Hedge Settlement Date. On each Forward Hedge Settlement Date, the Forward Purchaser will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Forward Hedge Shares being sold by crediting the Forward Seller or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through DWAC or by such other means of delivery as many be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Forward Hedge Settlement Date, the Forward Seller will deliver the related aggregate Forward Hedge Price to the Forward Purchaser in same day funds to an account designated by such Forward Purchaser prior to the relevant Forward Hedge Settlement Date.

(l) The Shares shall be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Agent or Forward Seller, as applicable, may request in writing at least one full business day before the Settlement Date. The Company or a Forward Purchaser, as applicable, shall deliver the Shares, if any, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company as described in the preceding paragraphs unless such Agent or such Forward Seller, as applicable, shall otherwise instruct.

(m) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if subsequent to a sale of the Shares and prior to the related Settlement Date there shall have occurred:

(i) any general suspension of trading in securities on the Exchange or any limitation on prices for such trading or any restrictions on the distribution of securities established by the Exchange or by the Commission or by any federal or state agency or by the decision of any court,

(ii) a suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on the Exchange,

(iii) a banking moratorium declared either by federal or New York State authorities,

(iv) any material disruption of clearance or settlement services or

(v) any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is involved, any declaration of war by the United States Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or crisis resulting in the declaration of a national emergency, or any material adverse change in the financial markets,

and, in each case, (1) the effect of the occurrence of such event shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent or the Forward Seller, make it impracticable to proceed with the delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, this Agreement and the Confirmation, if applicable, and (2) the Agent or the Forward Seller so notifies the Company,

then, (W) the Agent or the Forward Seller shall not be required to deliver the applicable Net Proceeds or aggregate Forward Hedge Price on any Settlement Date for such Shares, (X) the Agent or the Forward Seller shall return to the Company or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable, the Shares, if any, delivered to it by the Company or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable, for settlement of such sale, (Y) the Company or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable shall not be required to deliver such Shares for settlement of such sale and (Z) the Company shall not be required to pay the Agent any commission in connection with such sale.

(n) The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of Shares or any other equity security of the Company (excluding sales of Shares in the circumstances described in Section 4(f)(B), (C) and (D)) shall be effected by or through only one Agent or Forward Seller, as the case may be, or Alternative Agent on any single given day, but in no event by more than one, and the Company shall in no event request that the Agent, the Forward Seller and any other Alternative Agent sell Shares on the same day; it being understood that the foregoing limitation shall not apply on any day on which no sales are made pursuant to this Agreement or any Alternative Sales Agency Agreement.

(o) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company agrees that it shall not request the sale of any Shares that would be sold, and none of the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser shall be obligated to sell any Shares, during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information.

Section 4. Covenants.

The Company agrees with the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser:

(a) During any period when the delivery of a prospectus is required under the Securities Act (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Securities Act) in connection with the offering or sale of Shares, as to be determined by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, the Company will file the Prospectus with the Commission within the time periods specified by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430B under the Securities Act; will file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act; and will file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act. The Company will pay the registration fees for this offering within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Securities Act (without giving effect to the proviso therein) and, in any event, prior to the first Settlement Date. The Company will advise the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and will afford the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement prior to filing; and the Company will also advise the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser promptly of the filing of any such amendment or supplement, of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof, or of receipt from the Commission of any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement or any supplement or amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act, and will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or any such notice of objection and to obtain as soon as possible their lifting, if issued;

(b) The Company will furnish such information as may be lawfully required for, and otherwise cooperate in, qualifying the Shares that may be sold hereunder for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser may designate; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in any state to qualify as a foreign corporation, to file a general consent to service of process or to submit to any requirements which it deems unduly burdensome;

(c) If the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser so request, the Company, as soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, and thereafter from time to time, will deliver to the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable, copies of the most recent Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as are reasonably requested by the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable. If, during the time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Securities Act), as to be determined by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser any event occurs as a result of which (i) the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (ii) it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, including, without limitation, upon entry into an Additional Alternative Sales Agency Agreement, the Company promptly will (y) notify the Agent and the Forward Seller to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Shares and, (z) at its expense, prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or an amendment that will effect such compliance. During the period specified above, the Company will continue to prepare and file with the Commission on a timely basis all documents or amendments required under the Securities Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; provided, that the Company shall not file such documents or amendments without also furnishing copies thereof to the Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser. Any such documents or amendments that are electronically available through the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system or any successor thereto (▇▇▇▇▇) shall be deemed to have been furnished by the Company to the Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser;

(d) The Company will make generally available to its security holders, as soon as it is practicable to do so, an earnings statement of the Company (in reasonable detail, in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act and which need not be audited), covering a period of at least 12 months beginning within three months after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158 under the Securities Act) of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

(e) In each Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company in respect of any quarter in which sales of Shares were made by the Agent under this Agreement (each date on which any such document is filed, and any date on which an amendment to any such document is filed, a Company Periodic Report Date), the Company shall set forth with regard to such quarter the number of Shares sold through the Agent under this Agreement, the Net Proceeds received by the Company and the compensation paid by the Company to the Agent with respect to sales of Shares pursuant to this Agreement;

(f) The Company will not, while any Placement is pending, without (i) giving the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser at least three Trading Days’ prior written notice specifying a proposed sale and the date of such proposed sale and (ii) the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser suspending activity under this program for such period of time as requested by the Company or as deemed appropriate by the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable, in light of the proposed sale, (x) directly or indirectly offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock (collectively, Common Securities), or file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing (other than a shelf registration statement from which no such securities are offered) or (y) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of shares of Common Stock or such Common Securities, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (x) or (y) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or such Common Securities, in cash or otherwise, other than (A) pursuant to this Agreement or the Alternative Sales Agency Agreements; (B) any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of an option, warrant, or the conversion of a security outstanding on the Commencement Date; (C) any shares of Common Stock issued, or options to purchase such shares granted in connection with any of the Company’s employee benefit plans, employee stock purchase plans, non-employee director stock plans, dividend reinvestment plans, employee retirement plans and the Dominion Direct Investment plan, the sale of shares of Common Stock on behalf of participants in such plans or the sale of shares of Common Stock, including through the cashless exercise of stock options, by any of the Company’s executive officers (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act) or directors; and (D) any issuance by the Company of Common Stock in connection with acquisitions that close or any acquisition in which the party or parties receiving the Common Stock agree to be bound by the restrictions of this Section 4(f);

(g) The Company consents to the Agent or the Forward Seller, as applicable, trading in the Common Stock for their own accounts and for the accounts of their clients at the same time as sales of Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement; and

(h) Any Additional Alternative Sales Agency Agreement will be substantially identical to this Agreement.

Section 5. Agent Free Writing Prospectuses. The Agent has not made and will not make, unless approved in writing in advance by the Company, any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that would be required to be filed with the Commission under Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

Section 6. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses in connection with (i) the preparation and filing by it of the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Shares, (iii) the printing and delivery (by first class mail) to the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser, in reasonable quantities, of copies of the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus (each as originally filed and as subsequently amended), (iv) any filing fees incident to, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser in connection with, any required review by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. of the terms of the sale of the Shares; (v) all fees and expenses in connection with listing the Shares on the Exchange; and (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent or registrar or any dividend distribution agent. In addition, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of the counsel for the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, including fees and disbursements incurred in connection with qualifying the Shares under state securities or blue sky laws or investment laws (if and to the extent such qualification is required by the Agent, the Forward Seller, the Forward Purchaser or the Company), the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby which have been approved, in writing in advance, by the Company.

Section 7. Conditions of Obligations of the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser. The obligations of the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser hereunder shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made in any certificate furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance and observance by the Company of all covenants and agreements contained herein on its part to be performed and observed and to the following additional conditions:

(a) The Prospectus Supplement shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on or prior to the Commencement Date and in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof, any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect and no proceedings for that purpose shall be pending before or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission; no stop order suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be pending before or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission;

(b) Prior to any Applicable Time and related Settlement Date, the Agent (in the case of an Issuance) or the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser (in the case of a Forward) shall have received instructions from the Company in accordance with Section 2 hereof;

(c) In each case unless the Company has delivered a Notice of Temporary Suspension (as defined in Section 10 below), on the Commencement Date and each Recommencement Date, and promptly after each (i) date the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than (1) by an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of the Shares, (2) in connection with the filing of a prospectus supplement that contains solely the information set forth in Section 4(e), (3) in connection with the filing of any report or other document under Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act (other than the filing of a Form 8-K which contains financial statements (excluding earnings releases furnished under Item 2.02 of such form) or the filing of a required Form 8-K which contains material financial information), or (4) by a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of other securities (including, without limitation, other shares of Common Stock)) (each such date, a Registration Statement Amendment Date) and (ii) Company Periodic Report Date, the Agent shall have received a certificate of the President or any Vice President, of the Company dated as of the date thereof, to the effect that (A) the representations and warranties in Section 1 hereof are true and correct as of such date, and (B) the Company has complied with all of the agreements entered into in connection with the transaction contemplated herein and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied. As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the date referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, “promptly” shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time;

In lieu of any such opinion to be delivered subsequent to the commencement of the Offering of the Shares under this Agreement, such counsel may furnish the Agent with a letter to the effect that the Agent may rely upon the last opinion delivered to the Agent by such counsel to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the date referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, “promptly” shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time;

(f) Since the date of the most recent audited or unaudited financial statements then included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred, the effect of which is, in the sole judgment of the Agent, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereto), the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto);

(g) The Shares shall have received additional listing approval from the Exchange prior to the first Settlement Date;

(h) In each case unless the Company has delivered a Notice of Temporary Suspension, on the Commencement Date and each Recommencement Date, and promptly after each (i) Registration Statement Amendment Date and (ii) Company Periodic Report Date, the Agent shall receive the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to the Agent, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6. In lieu of any such opinion to be delivered subsequent to the commencement of the Offering of the Shares under this Agreement, such counsel may furnish the Agent with a letter to the effect that the Agent may rely upon the last opinion delivered to the Agent by such counsel to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance). As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the date referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, “promptly” shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time;

(i) Following the Commencement Date and prior to any Applicable Time and related Settlement Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser such further information, certificates and documents as the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser may reasonably request in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, contained herein or to conduct due diligence, including cooperating with any reasonable due diligence requests from or review conducted by the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser or, at their direction, their counsel and making available corporate officers from time to time in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(j) All legal proceedings to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP.

In case any of the conditions specified above in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser, upon mailing or delivering written notice thereof to the Company; provided, however, that it shall not be considered a failure to fulfill the conditions specified in Sections 7(c), 7(d), 7(e), 7(h) and 7(i) above if the Company temporarily suspends its obligations under such sections in accordance with Section 10 below. Any termination pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be without liability of the Agent, the Forward Seller, the Forward Purchaser and the Company to each other, except as otherwise provided in Sections 6, 8 and 9 hereof.

Section 8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser, their directors and officers, any broker-dealer affiliate of the Agent or the Forward Seller involved in the distribution of the Shares and each person who controls the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, or any other statute or common law and to reimburse the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser and each such director, officer, broker-dealer affiliate and controlling person for any legal or other expenses (including, to the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable and documented outside counsel fees) incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, or in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or in any such document as amended or supplemented (if any amendments or supplements thereto shall have been furnished), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished herein or otherwise in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser for use in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, in the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, in any Preliminary Prospectus or in the Disclosure Package. The indemnity agreement of the Company contained in this Section 8(a) and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser or any such director, officer, broker-dealer affiliate or controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of the Shares.

(b) The Agent, the Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, and each person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, or any other statute or common law and to reimburse each of them for any legal or other expenses (including, to the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable and documented outside counsel fees) incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon any

untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in either such document as amended or supplemented (if any amendments or supplements thereto shall have been furnished), any Preliminary Prospectus, or the Disclosure Package or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished herein or in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to either thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Disclosure Package. The indemnity agreement of the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser contained in this Section 8(b) shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of the Shares.

(c) The Company, the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser agree that, upon the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against the Company or any of its officers or directors, or any person controlling the Company, or against the Agent, the Forward Seller of the Forward Purchaser or any of their directors, officers, broker-dealer affiliates or controlling persons as aforesaid, in respect of which indemnity may be sought on account of any indemnity agreement contained herein, it or they will promptly give written notice of the commencement thereof to the party or parties against whom indemnity shall be sought hereunder, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party or parties of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party otherwise than on account of such indemnity agreement. In case such notice of any such action shall be so given, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume (in conjunction with any other indemnifying parties) the defense of such action, in which event such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such indemnifying party (or parties) and satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties who shall be defendant or defendants in such action, and such defendant or defendants shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional outside counsel retained by them; provided that, if the defendants (including impleaded parties) in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (or parties) and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (or parties), the indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to participate otherwise in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of outside counsel retained by the indemnified party if (i) the indemnified party shall have retained such counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel), representing the indemnified parties under Section 8(a) or 8(b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall have elected not to assume the defense of such action, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement of the action, or (iv) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (such consent not

to be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such a proceeding), unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the relevant Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, including relative benefit. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the relevant Agent, Forward Seller, Forward Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Agent’s, the Forward Seller’s and the Forward Purchaser’s obligations to contribute are several in proportion to their respective obligations and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

Section 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, the Forward Seller, the Forward Purchaser or any controlling person of the Agent, the Forward Seller or the Forward Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of the Shares.

Section 10. Temporary Suspension of Certain Obligations. If at any time, including on the Commencement Date, the Company shall determine that it wishes to suspend the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser a written notice to such effect (a Notice of Temporary Suspension), in which event the obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 7(c), 7(d), 7(e),7(h) and 7(i) shall be deemed suspended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until such date (the Recommencement Date) as the Company notifies the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser in writing that it wishes to re-enter the market with respect to offers and sales of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and takes the actions, and delivers to the Agent the documents required, by Sections 7(c), 7(d), 7(e), 7(h) and 7(i).

Section 11. Termination.

(a) Unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 11(b), 11(c) or 11(d) below, this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) February 21, 2026 (provided, however, that this Agreement will continue in effect for the duration of, and solely with respect to, any Confirmation entered into, but not yet settled, before February 21, 2026) or (ii) the date when all of the Shares have been sold. The provisions of Sections 6, 8 and 9 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(b) The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale through the Agent or the Forward Seller for the Company, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Agent and the Forward Seller as provided for in Schedule 4, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 6, 8 and 9 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(c) Each of the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 6, 8 and 9 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(d) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until and unless terminated pursuant to Section 11(a), (b) or (c) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that any such termination by mutual agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 6, 8 and 9 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(b) or 11(c) shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agent, the Forward Seller, the Forward Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be. If any termination of this Agreement shall occur prior to the Issuance Settlement Date for any sale of Issuance Shares or prior to the Forward Hedge Settlement Date for any sale of Forward Hedge Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(k) hereof.

Section 12. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and if to the Agent, the Forward Seller, the Forward Purchaser shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to it at the address set forth on Schedule 7 hereto, or if to the Company shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to it, attention of Vice President – Investor Relations and Treasurer, Dominion Energy, Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (facsimile number: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇).

Section 13. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Section 14. Miscellaneous. The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser and, with respect to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, each controlling person and each officer and director of the Company, the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser referred to in Section 8, and their respective successors, assigns, executors and administrators. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein

contained. The term “successors” as used in this Agreement shall not include any purchaser, as such, of any of the Shares from the Agent or the Forward Seller. The Company, the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser each acknowledge and agree that in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the Company and the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser have an arms length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of either party and each expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship, except that each of the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser acknowledges that it owes a duty of trust or confidence to the Company as contemplated by paragraph (b)(2)(i) of Rule 100 (17 CFR §243.100) of Regulation FD under the Securities Exchange Act, (ii) the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser each owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any contemporaneous written agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser may have interests that differ from those of the Company, and (iv) none of the activities of the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Agent, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser with respect to any entity or natural person.

Section 15. Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

Section 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party only when executed by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an electronic signature that complies with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other relevant and applicable electronic signatures law; (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Dominion Energy, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the Company), in connection with the offer and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, without par value (the Common Stock), having an aggregate offering price of up to $1,800,000,000 pursuant to a Sales Agency Agreement, dated May 3, 2024, by and among the Company, [NAME], in its capacity as Agent and Forward Seller, and [NAME], in its capacity as Forward Purchaser (the Sales Agency Agreement). This letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Sales Agency Agreement. All terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Sales Agency Agreement.

We have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company, indentures, agreements, and other instruments, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company, and other documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. As to various questions of fact material to such opinions, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon certifications by officers of the Company and other appropriate persons and statements contained in the Registration Statement hereinafter mentioned. All legal proceedings taken as of the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agency Agreement have been satisfactory to us.

On this basis we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Virginia and has the corporate power to transact its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

Sch. 5 - 1

2. No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign (other than those required under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, which have been obtained, or as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of the various states) is necessary or required in connection with the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Sales Agency Agreement or any Confirmation by the Company or for the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as contemplated by the Sales Agency Agreement or any Confirmation.

3. The Sales Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

4. Each Confirmation (if any), when executed by an Authorized Officer (as defined in the Senior Officer Approval effective as of May 3, 2024 and approving the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agency Agreement), will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and each Confirmation (if any) will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, under the laws of the State of New York, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5. The Issuance Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Confirmation have been duly authorized for sale pursuant to the Sales Agency Agreement and such Confirmation, as applicable, and reserved for issuance; and when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agency Agreement and such Confirmation, such shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and the issuance of such shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

6. The Registration Statement (Reg. No. 333-269879) with respect to the Shares filed pursuant to the Securities Act is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act that was filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date of the Sales Agency Agreement, and the Prospectus may lawfully be used for the purposes specified in the Securities Act in connection with the offer for sale of Shares in the manner therein specified.

7. The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except the financial statements, any pro forma financial information and schedules contained or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion) appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act, and to the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

8. We are of the opinion that the statements relating to the Shares contained and referred to in the Prospectus Supplement under DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK are substantially accurate and fair.

**********

Sch. 5 - 2

We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and your representatives at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus were discussed, and we have consulted with officers and other employees of the Company to inform them of the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act. We have examined various reports, records, contracts and other documents of the Company and orders and instruments of public officials, which our investigation led us to deem pertinent. In addition, we participated in one or more due diligence conferences with representatives of the Company. We have not, however, undertaken to make any independent review of other records of the Company which our investigation did not lead us to deem pertinent. As to the statistical statements in the Registration Statement (which includes the Incorporated Documents), we have relied solely on the officers of the Company. We accordingly assume no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the statements made in the Registration Statement, except as stated above in numbered paragraph 7 in regard to the statements described in such paragraph 7. But such conferences, consultation, examination and attendance disclosed to us no information with respect to such other matters that gives us reason to believe that the Registration Statement contained on the most recent effective date of the Registration Statement or contains on the date hereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted on such date or omits on the date hereof to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Disclosure Package contained as of the date hereof, the Prospectus contained as of its date, or that the Prospectus contains as of the date hereof, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted on such date or omits on the date hereof to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in all cases, except with respect to the financial statements, any pro forma financial information and schedules and other financial information, contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus). The foregoing assurance is provided on the basis that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1(a) of the Sales Agency Agreement with respect to the Disclosure Package, any statement contained in an Incorporated Document will be deemed not to be contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus if the statement has been modified or superseded by any statement in a subsequently filed Incorporated Document or in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus.

We do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than those of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of New York and the United States of America. This opinion may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any person without our prior written consent, except that we hereby consent to disclosure of this opinion letter by the Agent on a confidential basis to: (i) any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Agent and (ii) any other person pursuant to orders or legal process of any court or as otherwise required of the Agent by law, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, solely for the purpose of establishing the existence of this opinion letter and on the condition and understanding that no such regulatory authority or other person is authorized to rely on the foregoing opinions for any other purpose.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as your counsel in connection with your entry into the Sales Agency Agreement, dated May 3, 2024 (the Sales Agreement), with Dominion Energy, Inc.

Based upon the foregoing, and having regard to legal considerations that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

None of the foregoing participation, review or attendance disclosed to us any information that gives us reason to believe that the Registration Statement contained on the most recent effective date of the Registration Statement or contains on the date hereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted on such date or omits on the date hereof to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Disclosure Package contained as of the date hereof, the Prospectus contained as of its date, or that the Prospectus contains as of the date hereof, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted on such date or omits on the date hereof to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in all cases, except with respect to the financial statements, any pro forma financial information and schedules and other financial information, contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as to which we express no belief). The foregoing assurance is provided on the basis that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1(a) of the Sales Agency Agreement with respect to the Disclosure Package, any statement contained in an Incorporated Document will be deemed not to be contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus if the statement has been modified or superseded by any statement in a subsequently filed Incorporated Document or in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus.

In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraphs (1) – (8) above and in making the statements expressed in the preceding paragraph, we do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than those of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of New York and the United States of America.

Counterparty shall promptly provide written notice to Dealer upon obtaining knowledge of (i) the occurrence or announcement of any event that would constitute an Event of Default as to which it is the Defaulting Party or a Potential Adjustment Event or (ii) any Announcement Date in respect of an Extraordinary Event; provided that should Counterparty be in possession of material non-public information regarding Counterparty, Counterparty shall not communicate such information to Dealer;

(b)

Counterparty will keep available at all times, for the purpose of issuance upon settlement of the Transaction as herein provided, the sum of (i) the maximum number of Shares of Counterparty as may be issuable upon settlement of the Transaction plus (ii) the total number of Shares issuable upon settlement (whether by net share settlement or otherwise) of any other transaction or agreement to which it is a party that will settle prior to or simultaneously with the settlement of this Transaction (or, if greater, the number of Shares reserved by Counterparty for settlement of or delivery under such transaction or agreement). The Shares of Counterparty issuable from time to time upon settlement of the Transaction have been duly authorized and, when delivered as contemplated by the terms of the Transaction upon settlement of the Transaction, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of such Shares will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights;

(c)

Counterparty shall not take any action to reduce or decrease the number of authorized and unissued Shares below the sum specified in clause (b) above prior to the settlement of the Transaction;

(d)

Counterparty will not repurchase any Shares if, immediately following such repurchase, the Outstanding Share Percentage would be equal to or greater than 4.5%, and it will notify Dealer promptly upon the announcement or consummation of any repurchase of Shares that, taken together with the amount of all repurchases since the date of the last such notice (or, if no such notice has been given, the Trade Date), would increase such percentage by more than 1% of the number of then-outstanding Shares. The “Outstanding Share Percentage” as of any day is a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the aggregate of the Number of Shares for this Transaction and the “Number of Shares” (as defined in the applicable Additional Confirmation) under any outstanding Additional Transactions and (2) the denominator of which is the total number of Shares outstanding on such day;

(e)

As of the Trade Date and as of the date of any payment or delivery by Counterparty or Dealer hereunder, it is not and will not be “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code);

(f)

Neither Counterparty nor any of its “affiliated purchasers” (as defined by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b-18”)) shall take any action that would cause any purchases of Shares by Dealer or any of its affiliates in connection with any Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement not to meet the requirements of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 if such purchases were made by Counterparty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during any Unwind Period, except with the prior written consent of Dealer, Counterparty will not, and will cause its affiliated purchasers (as defined in Rule 10b-18) not to, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, by means of a derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or announce or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share) or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares. However, the foregoing shall not (a) limit Counterparty’s ability, pursuant to any issuer “plan” (as defined in Rule 10b-18), to re-acquire Shares from employees in connection with such plan or program, (b) limit Counterparty’s ability to withhold

Shares to cover tax liabilities associated with such a plan, (c) prohibit any purchases effected by or for an issuer “plan” by an “agent independent of the issuer” (each as defined in Rule 10b-18), (d) otherwise restrict Counterparty’s or any of its affiliates’ ability to repurchase Shares under privately negotiated, off-exchange transactions with any of its employees, officers, directors, affiliates or any third party that are not expected to result in market transactions or (e) limit Counterparty’s ability to grant stock and options to “affiliated purchasers” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) or the ability of such affiliated purchasers to acquire such stock or options in connection with any issuer “plan” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) for directors, officers and employees or any agreements with respect to any such plan for directors, officers or employees of any entities that are acquisition targets of Counterparty, and in connection with any such purchase under (a) through (e) above, Counterparty will be deemed to represent to Dealer that such purchase does not constitute a “Rule 10b-18 purchase” (as defined in Rule 10b-18);

(g)

Counterparty will not engage in any “distribution” (as defined in Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”)) that would cause a “restricted period” (as defined in Regulation M) to occur during any Unwind Period;

(h)

During any Unwind Period, Counterparty shall: (i) prior to the opening of trading in the Shares on any day on which Counterparty makes, or expects to be made, any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any Merger Transaction, to the extent permitted by applicable law but in no event later than the time such announcement is first made, notify Dealer of such public announcement; (ii) promptly notify Dealer following any such announcement that such announcement has been made; (iii) promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) provide Dealer with written notice specifying (A) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b-18 Purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months immediately preceding the related announcement date that were not effected through Dealer or its affiliates, if any, and (B) the number of Shares, if any, purchased pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act for the three full calendar months preceding such announcement date. Such written notice shall be deemed to be a certification by Counterparty to Dealer that such information is true and correct. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Dealer of the earlier to occur of the completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareholders. Counterparty acknowledges that any such notice may result in a Regulatory Disruption or may affect the length of any ongoing Unwind Period; accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its delivery of such notice must comply with the standards set forth in Section 11(c) of this Confirmation. “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. “Merger Transaction” means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction involving a recapitalization as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv) under the Exchange Act;

(i)

Counterparty is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended) and an “accredited investor” (as defined in Section 2(a)(15)(ii) of the Securities Act);

(j)

Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction, and will not elect Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement, to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares), in either case in violation of the Exchange Act or any other applicable securities laws;

(k)

[Reserved];

(l)

Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Counterparty acknowledges that Dealer is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction, including without limitation ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, FASB Statements 128, 133, as amended, 149 or 150, EITF 00-19, 01-6, 03-6 or 07-5, ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Liabilities & Equity Project;

(m)

Counterparty is in compliance with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with all reports subsequently filed or furnished by it pursuant to the Exchange Act and all public statements by it, taken together and as amended and supplemented to the date of this representation, do not, as of their respective dates, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(n)

Counterparty is not aware of any material non-public information regarding itself or the Shares; Counterparty is entering into this Confirmation and will provide any settlement method election notice in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with Rule 10b-5 or any other provision of the federal securities laws; and Counterparty has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Confirmation under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”);

(o)

Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(p)

Counterparty understands, agrees and acknowledges that no obligations of Dealer to it hereunder shall be entitled to the benefit of deposit insurance and that such obligations shall not be guaranteed by any affiliate of Dealer or any governmental agency;

(q)

Counterparty: (i) is an “institutional account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c); and (ii) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and will exercise independent judgment in evaluating any recommendations of Dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (iii) has total assets of at least USD 50 million as of the date hereof

(r)

COUNTERPARTY UNDERSTANDS THAT THE TRANSACTION IS SUBJECT TO COMPLEX RISKS WHICH MAY ARISE WITHOUT WARNING AND MAY AT TIMES BE VOLATILE AND THAT LOSSES MAY OCCUR QUICKLY AND IN UNANTICIPATED MAGNITUDE AND IS WILLING TO ACCEPT SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND ASSUME (FINANCIALLY AND OTHERWISE) SUCH RISKS.

Issuance of Shares by Counterparty: Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any Shares delivered by Counterparty to Dealer on any Settlement Date or Net Share Settlement Date will be newly issued. Counterparty further acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent that the Private Placement Procedures in Annex A apply, any Shares delivered by Counterparty to Dealer on any Settlement Date or Net Share Settlement Date will be (i) approved for listing or quotation on the Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance and (ii) registered under the Exchange Act. On the basis of the Forward Letter (as hereinafter defined), such Shares, when delivered by Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) to securities lenders from whom Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) borrowed Shares in connection with hedging its exposure to the Transaction, will be freely saleable without further registration or other restrictions under the Securities Act in the hands of those securities lenders, irrespective of whether any such stock loan is effected by Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer. Accordingly, Counterparty agrees that, except to the extent that the Private Placement Procedures in Annex A apply, any Shares so delivered will not bear a restrictive legend and will be deposited in, and the delivery thereof shall be effected through the facilities of, the Clearance System.

Termination on Bankruptcy: The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Equity Definitions, the Transaction constitutes a contract to issue a security of Counterparty as contemplated by Section 365(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) and that the Transaction and the obligations and rights of Counterparty and Dealer (except for any liability as a result of breach of any of the representations or warranties provided by Counterparty in Section 5 above) shall immediately terminate, without the necessity of any notice, payment (whether directly, by netting or otherwise) or other action by Counterparty or Dealer, if, on or prior to the final Settlement Date, Cash Settlement Payment Date or Net Share Settlement Date, an Insolvency Filing occurs (a “Bankruptcy Termination Event”).

Special Dividends: If an ex-dividend date for a Special Dividend occurs on or after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date (or, if later, the last date on which Shares are delivered by Counterparty to Dealer in settlement of the Transaction), Counterparty shall pay to Dealer on the earlier of (i) the date on which such Special Dividend is paid by the Issuer to holders of record of the Shares, (ii) the Designated Date where the Undesignated Shares become equal to zero and (iii) the Maturity Date an amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent, in cash equal to the product of (a) per Share amount of such Special Dividend, and (b) the Remaining Amount on such ex-dividend date. “Special Dividend” means any cash dividend or distribution declared by the Issuer with respect to the Shares that is specified by the board of directors of the Issuer as an “extraordinary” dividend and that Counterparty designates as a Special Dividend hereunder by written notice given to Dealer promptly after the declaration of such dividend or distribution. “Remaining Amount” means, at any time, the sum of (i) the number of Undesignated Shares as of such time, (ii)(A) if any, the number of Designated Shares for any Designated Date occurring prior to such time for which the related Unwind Period has not been completed at such time minus (B) the number of Unwound Shares for such Unwind Period at such time and (iii) if any Aggregate Net Share Number or Net Share Settlement Number, as applicable, as of such time is (A) a positive number and (B) has not been delivered by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to “Net Share Settlement” above, such Aggregate Net Share Number or Net Share Settlement Number, as applicable.

9.	Acceleration Events:

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or in the Equity Definitions, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Acceleration Event, Dealer (or, in the case of an Acceleration Event that is an Event of Default or a Termination Event, the party that would be entitled to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of such event pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) shall, by not more than 20 days’ notice to the other party, have the right to designate by notice to the other party any Scheduled Trading Day not earlier than the day such notice is effective to be the “Early Valuation Date” but which, in the case of an Acceleration Event that results from the commencement of any proceeding with respect to Counterparty under the Bankruptcy Code other than in a Bankruptcy Termination Event, shall be the Scheduled Trading Day on which such proceeding is commenced (or, if not commenced on such a day, the following Scheduled Trading Day), in which case the provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply in lieu of Section 6 of the Agreement or Article 12 of the Equity Definitions.

(b)

If the Early Valuation Date occurs on a date that is not during an Unwind Period, then the Early Valuation Date shall be deemed to be a Designated Date for a Physical Settlement, and the number of Designated Shares for such Designated Date shall be the number of Undesignated Shares on the Early Valuation Date; provided that in the case of an Acceleration Event of the type described in paragraph (e)(iii) or (iv) below, the number of Designated Shares for such Designated Date shall be only such number of Designated Shares necessary so that such Acceleration Event shall no longer exist after such Physical Settlement, as determined by the Calculation Agent; and, provided, further, that in the case of an Acceleration Event of the type described in paragraph (e)(i) below and resulting from the commencement of any proceeding with respect to Counterparty under the Bankruptcy Code other than in a Bankruptcy Termination Event, the Early Valuation Date shall be deemed to be the last Unwind Date for a Cash Settlement and in such case the aggregate net loss or cost reasonably determined by Dealer as of the related Early Valuation Date in connection with unwinding its Hedge Positions shall be added to the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (or, if an aggregate net gain is so determined, such gain shall be subtracted therefrom).

(c)

If the Early Valuation Date occurs during an Unwind Period, then (i) (A) the last Unwind Date of such Unwind Period shall occur on the Early Valuation Date, (B) a settlement shall occur in respect of such Unwind Period, and the settlement method elected by Counterparty in respect of such settlement shall apply, and (C) the number of Designated Shares for such settlement shall be deemed to be the number of Unwound Shares for such Unwind Period on the Early Valuation Date, and (ii) (A) the Early Valuation Date shall be deemed to be an additional Designated Date for a Physical Settlement and (B) the number of Designated Shares for such additional Designated Date shall be the Remaining Amount on the Early Valuation Date; provided that in the case of an Acceleration Event of the type described in paragraph (e)(iii) or (iv) below, the number of Designated Shares for such additional Designated Date shall be only such number of Designated Shares necessary so that such Acceleration Event shall no longer exist after such Physical Settlement, as determined by the Calculation Agent; and, provided, further, that in the case of an Acceleration Event of the type described in paragraph (e)(i) below and resulting from the commencement of any proceeding with respect to Counterparty under the

Bankruptcy Code other than in a Bankruptcy Termination Event, the Early Valuation Date shall be deemed to be the last Unwind Date of an additional Unwind Period for a Cash Settlement and the number of Designated Shares for such settlement shall be deemed to be the Remaining Amount on the Early Valuation Date and in such case the aggregate net loss or cost reasonably determined by Dealer as of the related Early Valuation Date in connection with unwinding its Hedge Positions shall be added to the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (or, if an aggregate net gain is so determined, such gain shall be subtracted therefrom).

(d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Early Valuation Date that occurs due to an announcement of a Nationalization or a Merger Event, if at the time of the related Settlement Date or Net Share Settlement Date, as applicable, the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property, such cash, other property or right shall be deliverable instead of such Shares.

(e)

“Acceleration Event” means:

(i)

any Event of Default or Termination Event, other than an Event of Default or Termination Event that also constitutes a Bankruptcy Termination Event, that would give rise to the right of either party to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement;

(ii)

the announcement of any event or transaction that, if consummated, would result in a Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization, Delisting or Change in Law, in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent;

(iii)

a Loss of Stock Borrow;

(iv)

the declaration or payment by Counterparty of any Extraordinary Dividend;

(v)

the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event during an Unwind Period and the continuance of such Market Disruption Event for at least eight Scheduled Trading Days;

(vi)

the occurrence of an Excess Section 13 Ownership Position or Excess Regulatory Ownership Position; or

(vii)

the occurrence of the Maturity Date during an Unwind Period.

10.

Private Placement Procedures: If either Dealer or Counterparty reasonably determines in good faith, based on the advice of counsel, that Counterparty will be unable to comply with the covenant set forth in the second sentence of Section 6 of this Confirmation because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or its staff (the “Staff”), or Dealer otherwise reasonably determines, based on the advice of counsel, that in its reasonable opinion any Shares to be delivered to Dealer by Counterparty hereunder may not be freely returned by Dealer or its affiliates to securities lenders as contemplated by Section 6 of this Confirmation (in either case without regard to exceptions therein), then delivery of any such Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) shall be effected pursuant to Annex A hereto, unless waived by Dealer.

11.	Rule 10b5-1; Share Purchases by Dealer

(a)

The parties acknowledge that, following any election of Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement by Counterparty, this Confirmation is intended to constitute a binding contract satisfying the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act and agree that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with such requirements.

(b)

The times and prices at which Dealer (or its agent or affiliate) purchases any Shares during any Unwind Period shall be at Dealer’s good faith and commercially reasonable discretion. Counterparty acknowledges that during any Unwind Period Counterparty does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect purchases of Shares or any other transactions by Dealer (or its agent or affiliate) in connection with this Confirmation. Counterparty agrees that during any Unwind Period it will not enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares.

(c)

Counterparty hereby agrees with Dealer that during any Unwind Period Counterparty shall not communicate, directly or indirectly, any material non-public information (within the meaning of such term under Rule 10b5-1) to any employee of Dealer (or its agents or affiliates) who is directly involved with the hedging of, and trading with respect to, the Transaction. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of the Transaction must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a contract, instruction or plan under Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.

(d)

Following any election of Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement by Counterparty, in addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement and elsewhere in this Confirmation, Dealer represents, warrants and covenants to Counterparty that Dealer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, during any Unwind Period, to make all purchases of Shares in connection with such election in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clauses (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3) and (b)(4) and (c) of Rule 10b-18, as if such rule were applicable to such purchases (and considering only such purchases when determining compliance with the foregoing provisions), after taking into account any applicable SEC no-action letters as appropriate, subject to any delays between the execution and reporting of a trade of the Shares on the Exchange and other circumstances beyond Dealer’s control; provided that, during any Unwind Period, the foregoing agreement shall not apply to purchases made to dynamically hedge for Dealer’s own account or the account of its affiliate(s) the optionality arising under in connection with such Settlement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, timing optionality); and provided, further, that, without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this paragraph (d), Dealer shall not be responsible for any failure to comply with Rule 10b-18(b)(3) to the extent any transaction that was executed (or deemed to be executed) by or on behalf of Counterparty or an “affiliated purchaser” (as defined under Rule 10b-18) pursuant to a separate agreement is not deemed to be an “independent bid” or an “independent transaction” for purposes of Rule 10b-18(b)(3).

12.

Capped Number of Shares: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this Confirmation, in no event will Counterparty be required to deliver in the aggregate in respect of all Settlement Dates, Net Share Settlement Dates or other dates on which Shares are delivered in respect of any amount owed under this Confirmation a number of Shares greater than the product of 1.5 and the Number of Shares (the “Capped Number”). Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer (which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that the Transaction is outstanding) that the Capped Number is equal to or less than the number of authorized but unissued Shares that are not reserved for future issuance in connection with transactions in the Shares (other than the Transaction) on the date of the determination of the Capped Number (such Shares, the “Available Shares”). In the event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable as a result of this Section 12 (the resulting deficit, the “Deficit Shares”), Counterparty shall be obligated to deliver Shares, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, when, and to the extent, that (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration) and are not required to be used for any other purpose, (B) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions as of the Trade Date become no longer so reserved and (C) Counterparty authorizes any additional unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions (such events as set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, collectively, the “Share Issuance Events”). Counterparty shall promptly notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the Share Issuance Events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered) and, as promptly as reasonably practicable after such Share Issuance Event (or, if later, on the Settlement Date or the date of any Private Placement Settlement for which there are Deficit Shares), deliver such Shares. Counterparty shall not, until Counterparty’s obligations under the Transaction have been satisfied in full, use any Shares that become available for potential delivery to Dealer as a result of any Share Issuance Event for the settlement or satisfaction of any transaction or obligation other than the Transaction, any Additional Transaction and any other transaction under a confirmation entered into by the Counterpary and another

dealer pursuant to a sales agency agreement between Counterparty and such dealer (each, an “Other Dealer’s Transaction”), or reserve any such Shares for future issuance for any purpose other than to satisfy Counterparty’s obligations to Dealer under the Transaction, any Additional Transaction or any Other Dealer’s Transaction. Allocation of any Shares that become available for potential delivery to Dealer or any dealer party to an Other Dealer’s Transaction as a result of any Share Issuance Event shall be allocated to the Transaction, any Additional Transaction and any Other Dealer’s Transaction on a ratable basis in accordance with the respective remaining Share delivery obligations thereunder.

13.	Transfer, Assignment and Designation:

(a)

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Dealer may assign, transfer and set over all rights, title and interest, powers, privileges and remedies of Dealer under the Transaction, in whole or part, to (i) an affiliate of dealer of equal or greater creditworthiness, as determined by Counterparty in its sole discretion, (ii) an affiliate of Dealer whose obligation is guaranteed by an affiliated guarantor (the “Guarantor”) that customarily guarantees obligations of Dealer pursuant to a customary guarantee by such Guarantor used in similar transactions or (iii) to such Guarantor itself, or Dealer’s ultimate parent (being an entity other than the Guarantor), without the consent of Counterparty; provided that (x) no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to which Dealer or such affiliate is the Defaulting Party or an Affected Party, as the case may be, exists or would result therefrom, (x) no Acceleration Event or other event giving rise to a right or responsibility to designate an Early Valuation Date or otherwise terminate or cancel the Transaction or to make an adjustment to the terms of the Transaction would result therefrom, and (z) Counterparty shall not, as a result of such assignment or transfer, (1) be required to pay to Dealer or such affiliate an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax, (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax as to which no additional amount is required to be paid, or (3) become subject to the jurisdiction of any state or country other than the United States of America.

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

14.

Indemnity: Counterparty agrees to indemnify Dealer and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and controlling parties (Dealer and each such affiliate or person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party, that arise out of, are in connection with, or relate to, a breach of any covenant or representation made by Counterparty in this Confirmation or the Agreement, and Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel per relevant jurisdiction) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto. Counterparty will not be liable under this Indemnity paragraph to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense results from an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or Dealer’s breach of this Confirmation or the Agreement. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability not resulting from its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, provided that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution.

15.	No Collateral; Netting; Setoff:

(a)

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are not secured by any collateral.

(b)

If on any date any Shares would otherwise be deliverable under the Transaction or any Additional Transaction by Counterparty to Dealer and by Dealer to Counterparty, then, on such date, each party’s obligations to make delivery of such Shares will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate number of Shares that would otherwise have been deliverable by one party exceeds the aggregate number of Shares that would have otherwise been deliverable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate number of Shares would have been deliverable to deliver to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate number over the smaller aggregate number.

(c)

The parties agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to a party who is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (“X”), the other party (“Y”) will have the right (but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off or apply any obligation of X owed to Y (or any affiliate of Y) (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of Y (or any affiliate of Y) owed to X (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation). Y will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 15.

(d)

Amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y into the Termination Currency at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency. If any obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 15 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 15 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

(e)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Dealer agrees not to set off or net amounts due from Counterparty with respect to the Transaction against amounts due from Dealer (or its affiliate) to Counterparty with respect to contracts or instruments that are not Equity Contracts; provided, however, that, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Confirmation or in the Agreement, Dealer may not use this provision or any other set-off or recoupment right under this Confirmation or the Agreement as a basis for any action under or nonperformance of its obligations under any loan, letter of credit or other borrowing arrangement with Counterparty as borrower and to which Dealer or any affiliate of Dealer is a participating lender, with respect to which the terms of such loan, letter of credit or other borrowing arrangement shall control. “Equity Contract” means any transaction or instrument that does not convey to Dealer rights, or the ability to assert claims, that are senior to the rights and claims of common stockholders in the event of Counterparty’s bankruptcy.

16.

Delivery of Cash: For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to deliver cash in respect of the settlement of the Transaction, except (i) as set forth under Section 8 above or (ii) in circumstances where the cash settlement thereof is within Counterparty’s control (including, without limitation, where Counterparty so elects to deliver cash or fails timely to deliver Shares in respect of such settlement). For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be construed as limiting any damages that may be payable by Counterparty as a result of a breach of or an indemnity under this Confirmation or the Agreement.

17.

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy: Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to this Confirmation and the Agreement; and provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transaction other than the Transaction.

18.

Limit on Beneficial Ownership: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Confirmation, in no event shall Dealer be entitled to receive, or be deemed to receive, Shares to the extent that, upon such receipt of such Shares, and after taking into account any Shares concurrently delivered by Seller under any Other Confirmation, (i) the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Shares by Dealer, any of its affiliates’ business units subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Dealer with respect to “beneficial ownership” of any Shares (collectively, “Dealer Group”) would be equal to or greater than 4.5% of the outstanding Shares (an “Excess Section 13 Ownership Position”), or (ii) Dealer, Dealer Group or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer or Dealer Group (Dealer, Dealer Group or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under Article 14 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA Affiliate Transaction Statute”) or any state or federal bank holding company or banking laws, or other federal, state or local laws (including, without limitation, the Federal Power Act), regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Laws”), would own, beneficially own, constructively own, control, hold the power to vote or otherwise meet a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the lesser of (A) the maximum number of Shares that would be permitted under Applicable Laws and (B) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator, such as a state or federal banking regulator or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) of a Dealer Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested shareholder” or “acquiring person” status under the VSCA Affiliate Transaction Statute) and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received or that would give rise to any consequences under the constitutive documents of Counterparty or any contract or agreement to which Counterparty is a party, in each case minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (such condition described in clause (ii), an “Excess Regulatory Ownership Position”). Dealer shall notify Counterparty promptly if, at any time, an Excess Section 13 Ownership Position or an Excess Regulatory Ownership Position has occurred or would occur as a result of a delivery by Counterparty to Dealer. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that such delivery would not result in (x) Dealer Group directly or indirectly so beneficially owning in excess of 4.5% of the outstanding Shares or (y) the occurrence of an Excess Regulatory Ownership Position.

ANNEX A

PRIVATE PLACEMENT PROCEDURES

If Counterparty delivers Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 10 above (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then:

(a)

the delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in accordance with customary private placement procedures for issuers comparable to Counterparty with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer. Counterparty shall not take, or cause to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer);

(b)

as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and any potential purchaser of any such Restricted Shares from Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for similarly-sized private placements of equity securities for issuers comparable to Counterparty (including, without limitation, the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them); provided that, prior to receiving or being granted access to any such information, any such potential purchaser may be required by Counterparty to enter into a customary non-disclosure agreement with Counterparty in respect of any such due diligence investigation;

(c)

as of the date of delivery, Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) in connection with the private placement of such Restricted Shares by Counterparty to Dealer (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate), substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of similar size for issuers comparable to Counterparty, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating, without limitation, to the mutual indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of the parties and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters, and shall provide for the payment by Counterparty of all reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such resale, including all reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel for Dealer, and shall contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Counterparty customary for issuers comparable to Counterparty and reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales; and

(d)

in connection with the private placement of such Restricted Shares by Counterparty to Dealer (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate), Counterparty shall, if so requested by Dealer, prepare, in cooperation with Dealer, a private placement memorandum customary for comparable private placements and issuers comparable to Counterparty and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer.

In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall, in its good faith discretion, adjust the amount of Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that such Restricted Shares may not be freely returned to securities lenders by Dealer and may only be saleable by Dealer at a discount to reflect the lack of transferability and liquidity in Restricted Shares based on actual charges incurred or discounts given.

If Counterparty delivers any Restricted Shares in respect of the Transaction, Counterparty agrees that (i) such Shares may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and (ii) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed after the applicable Settlement Date, Counterparty shall (so long as Dealer or any such affiliate is not an “affiliate” of Counterparty within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon delivery by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Counterparty or such transfer agent of seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, each without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer).
