6.250% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2014

This permanent global Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities (herein called the “Securities”) of Universal Corporation, a Virginia corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), unlimited in aggregate principal amount, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of February 1, 1991 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as Chemical Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined)), to which indenture and all indentures supplemental hereto (the indenture as supplemented being herein called the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This permanent global Security is one of the series of Securities designated on the face hereof, of an aggregate initial principal amount of One Hundred Million United States Dollars (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and as set forth on Schedule A hereto, the “Principal Amount”), with the Interest Payment Dates, date of original issuance, and date of Maturity specified herein and bearing interest on said Principal Amount at the interest rate specified herein.

The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the Principal Amount hereof on December 1, 2014, and to pay interest thereon, from November 19, 2009, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if the date of this permanent global Security is an Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, then from the date hereof semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 in each year commencing June 1, 2010, and at Maturity, at the rate of 6.250% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this permanent global Security or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this permanent global Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this permanent global Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in such Indenture.

This permanent global Security is exchangeable in whole or from time to time in part for definitive Registered Securities of this series only as provided in this paragraph. If (x) The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to

continue as U.S. Depository for this permanent global Security or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (y) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order providing that this permanent global Security shall be so exchangeable or (z) there shall have happened and be continuing an Event of Default or any event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of the series of which this permanent global Security is a part, this permanent global Security or any portion hereof shall, in the case of clause (x) above, be exchanged for definitive Registered Securities of this series, and in the case of clauses (y) and (z) above, be exchangeable for definitive Registered Securities of this series, provided that the definitive Securities so issued in exchange for this permanent global Security shall be in authorized denominations and be of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount as the portion of the permanent global Security to be exchanged, and provided further that, in the case of clauses (y) and (z) above, definitive Registered Securities of this series will be issued in exchange for this permanent global Security, or any portion hereof, only if such definitive Registered Securities were requested by written notice to the Trustee by or on behalf of a Person who is a beneficial owner of an interest hereof given through the Holder hereof. Any definitive Registered Securities of this series issued in exchange for this permanent global Security, or any portion hereof, shall be registered in the name or names of such Person or Persons as the Holder hereof shall instruct the Trustee. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this permanent global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture.

Any exchange of this permanent global Security or portion hereof for one or more definitive Registered Securities of this series will be made at the New York office of the Trustee. Upon exchange of any portion of this permanent global Security for one or more definitive Registered Securities of this series, the Trustee shall endorse Schedule A of this permanent global Security to reflect the reduction of its Principal Amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the definitive Registered Securities of this series so issued in exchange, whereupon the Principal Amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and noted. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, until exchanged in full for one or more definitive Registered Securities of this series, this permanent global Security shall in all respects be subject to and entitled to the same benefits and conditions under the Indenture as a duly authenticated and delivered definitive Registered Security of this series.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, neither the Holder of this permanent global Security nor any beneficial owner of any portion of this permanent global Security shall be entitled to receive payment of accrued interest hereon until this permanent global Security or the relevant portion hereof has been exchanged for one or more definitive Registered Securities of this series, as provided herein and in the Indenture.

The principal and any premium or interest in respect of any portion of this permanent global Security payable in respect of an Interest Payment Date or at the Stated Maturity thereof, in each case occurring prior to the exchange of such portion for a definitive Registered Security or Securities of this series, will be paid, as provided herein, to the Holder hereof which will undertake in such circumstances to credit any such principal, premium and interest received by it in respect of this permanent global Security to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such interests on such Interest Payment Date or at Stated Maturity. If a definitive Registered Security of this series is issued in exchange for any portion of this permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Holder hereof, and the Holder hereof will undertake in such circumstances to credit such interest to the account of the Person who was the beneficial owner of such portion of this permanent global Security on such Regular Record Date or Special Record Date, as the case may be.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this permanent global Security will be made the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, pursuant to the Indenture, which shall initially be the office of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., located at 2 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60602, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debt; provided, however, that payments to DTC will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of DTC or its nominee.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this permanent global Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successors thereunder, by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this permanent global Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its corporate seal.

This is one of the Securities of a series issued under the Indenture described herein.

[Form of Reverse of Security]

The Securities of this series (including this permanent global Security and the interests represented hereby) are subject to redemption at any time and from time to time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, in principal amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Securities that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Holders as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

The Company shall mail notice of a redemption not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before any Redemption Date to the Trustee and Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

If the Company elects to redeem less than all the Securities, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, the Trustee will select the particular Securities to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. Unless there is a default in payment of the redemption amount, on and after a Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

“Treasury Rate” means the rate per year equal to:

The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (and its successors), J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and one other nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer as determined from time to time by the Company. If, however, any of them shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City, the Company shall substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is such a dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of the principal of and interest on each Security to be redeemed that would be due after the related

Redemption Date but for such redemption. If the Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to the Security being redeemed, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Security being redeemed will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to that Redemption Date.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Securities, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities as described above, each Holder of Securities will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, or at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of Securities, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

The Company is not required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party involved in the applicable Change of Control makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such in the Securities and such third party purchases all the Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The Company shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities by virtue of any such conflict.

For purposes of this provision:

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

(1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any Person (including any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)) other than to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries;

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any Person (including any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

(5) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both (i) a Change of Control and (ii) a Current Ratings Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

“Current Ratings Event” means, on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following the consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following the consummation of a Change of Control for so long as either of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change), (i) the notes are downgraded by either Rating Agency and (ii) as a result of such downgrade the notes cease to be rated Ba2 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s) and BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P).

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its successors.

The provisions of Article Fourteen of the Indenture apply to Securities of this series.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series (including this permanent global Security and the interests represented hereby) may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Security of this series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series shall have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or any interest on this permanent global Security on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this permanent global Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on this permanent global Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
