Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below and the Officer’s Certificate establishing the Senior Notes pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. These Securities are general obligations of the Company as described in the Indenture.

1. Interest. FIRSTENERGY TRANSMISSION, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), promises to pay interest from the Original Issue Date specified above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates specified above in each year, commencing on January 15, 2025, at the Interest Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. No interest shall accrue at Maturity, so long as the principal amount of this Senior Note is paid at Maturity. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any such Interest Payment Date (except for interest payable on the Stated Maturity, or, if applicable, upon redemption or acceleration) will, as provided in the Indenture (as defined below), be paid to the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date specified above next preceding such Interest Payment Date; and provided, that interest payable on the Stated Maturity specified above or, if applicable, upon redemption or acceleration, shall be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. Payment of principal of, interest and premium, if any, on this Senior Note shall be payable pursuant to Section 601 of the Indenture.

Upon the occurrence, if any, of the events set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Officer’s Certificate establishing the Senior Notes pursuant to the Indenture), the Company shall pay additional interest on this Senior Note, which shall accrue at a rate of 0.25% for the first 90-day period after the date of such event and increased by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period thereafter, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per annum over the interest rate otherwise then applicable for this Senior Note, as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (“Additional Interest”). The Company shall pay all Additional Interest, if any, on the applicable interest payment date described herein in the same manner as interest is paid on this Senior Note. Unless context otherwise requires, for the avoidance of doubt any references to “interest” with respect to this Senior Note herein, in the Indenture or in the Officer’s Certificate establishing the Senior Notes pursuant to the Indenture shall include any Additional Interest that may be payable pursuant to this paragraph.

5

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Senior Note at the times, place, and rate, in the coin or currency, and in the manner, herein prescribed.

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

2. Method of Payment. Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on this Senior Note and interest hereon at the Stated Maturity shall be made upon presentation of this Senior Note to our designated agent at the Place of Payment, U.S. Bank Corporate Trust Services, located at 111 Fillmore Ave. E, St. Paul, MN 55107, or at such other office or agency as may be designated for such purpose by the Company from time to time. Payment of interest, if any, on this Senior Note (other than interest at the Stated Maturity) shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, except that (a) if such Person shall be a securities depositary, such payment may be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated in writing by such securities depositary and (b) if such Person is a Holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes of this series such payment may be in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated in writing by the Person entitled thereto as set forth herein in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures. Any such designation for wire transfer purposes shall be made by filing the appropriate information with our designated agent, U.S. Bank Corporate Trust Services, at 111 Fillmore Ave. E, St. Paul, MN 55107, not less than fifteen calendar days prior to the applicable payment date and, unless revoked by written notice to the Trustee received on or prior to the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, shall remain in effect with respect to any further interest payments (other than interest payments at Maturity) with respect to this Senior Note payable to such Holder. Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Senior Note, as aforesaid, shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

The Company may change any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity; provided that if the Company or such subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, the Company or such subsidiary shall segregate all funds held by it as Paying Agent and hold them in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders.

4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate establishing the Senior Notes pursuant to the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office of our designated agent, U.S. Bank Corporate Trust Services, located at 111 Fillmore Ave. E, St. Paul, MN 55107, or such other office or agency as may be designated by the Company from time to time, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of this series of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Senior Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

5. Indenture. This Senior Note is a Global Security in respect of a duly authorized issue of Securities of a series designated as the 5.000% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Senior Notes,” which term includes any Global Security representing such Senior Notes) of the Company, and issued under the Indenture (For Unsecured Debt Securities), dated as of May 19, 2014 (such Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular securities, being herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), under which U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures or officer’s certificates supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, and immunities of the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Senior Notes and all other Securities thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which the Senior Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This Global Security has been issued in respect of the Senior Notes of the series designated as set forth above.

6. Optional Redemption. The Senior Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below) on at least 10 days’, but not more than 60 days’, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Senior Notes. The Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) will be equal to the greater of:

7

(a) (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Senior Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less (ii) interest accrued to the Redemption Date; and

(b) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed;

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities – Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or

8

more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

“Par Call Date” means October 15, 2034 (the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Senior Notes).

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine the Redemption Price.

On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Senior Notes or any portion of the Senior Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest). On or before the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all the Senior Notes are to be redeemed, the Senior Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

7. Mandatory Redemption.

The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Senior Notes.

8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by mail to Holders of Senior Notes, not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption at the election of the Company as aforesaid may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Senior Notes to be redeemed on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption; a notice of redemption so conditioned shall be of no force or effect if such money is not so received and, in such event, the Company shall not be required to redeem such Senior Notes.

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

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

9

10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Senior Notes of this series are issuable only as registered Senior Notes, without coupons, and in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes of this same series and tranche, of any authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, and of like tenor upon surrender of the Senior Note or Senior Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Administration Office of our designated agent, U.S. Bank Corporate Trust Services, 111 Fillmore Ave. E, St. Paul, MN 55107, or such other office or agency as may be designated by the Company from time to time.

11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then outstanding under the Indenture; provided, however, that if there shall be Securities of more than one series outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of any such series, then the consent of the Holders of only a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Securities of any series shall have been issued in more than one tranche and if the proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for limited purposes without the consent of any Holders of Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note.

12. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Senior Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

13. No Recourse Against Others. As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Senior Notes, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement under the Indenture, against, and no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, organizer, shareholder, member, manager, officer or director, as such, past, present, or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor Corporation (either directly or through the Company, or a predecessor or successor Corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise;

10

it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and this Senior Note are solely obligations of a limited liability company and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note.

14. Authentication. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by manual signature, this Senior Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

15. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Senior Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Senior Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
