2026, that:

The Securities of the twenty-seventh series to be issued under the Indenture (the “Bonds”)

the global Bonds representing such Bonds in exchange for such global Bonds, such definitive Bonds to be registered in the names provided by the Depository; each global Bond (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the

aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds to be represented by such global Bond, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depository, its nominee, any

custodian for the Depository or otherwise pursuant to the Depository’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend restricting the transfer of such global Bond to any person other than the Depository or its nominee; none of the Company, the

occurring after the date of this certificate, the Holders of such Bonds, or portions of the principal amount thereof, will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the satisfaction and discharge

of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, at the same times and in the same manner as if such satisfaction and discharge had not been effected;

12.

The Eligible Obligations with respect to the Bonds shall be Government Obligations;

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $____________

ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC

COLLATERAL TRUST MORTGAGE BONDS, 5.50% SERIES DUE SEPTEMBER 15, 2036

ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Texas (herein referred to as

the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to

or registered assigns, the principal amount specified above on the Stated Maturity set forth above and to pay interest on the unpaid principal hereof and on

any overdue interest from and including August 13, 2026, or from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year,

commencing March 15, 2027, and on the Stated Maturity (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate of 5.50% per annum to but excluding the date on which the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. In the

event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of

such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date. 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 Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”), except that interest payable

at Maturity will be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be paid. 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 may either be paid to the

Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) 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 of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series

may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture referred to herein.

A-1

Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest at Maturity on this Security

shall be made upon presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, in the State of New York, 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 debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, interest on this Security (other than interest payable at Maturity) may be paid by check mailed to the address of the

person entitled thereto, as such address shall appear on the Security Register, and provided, further, that if such person is a securities depositary, such payment may be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be agreed

upon by the Company, the Trustee and such person.

All terms used in this Security not otherwise defined herein which are defined in the

Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and in the Officer’s Certificate establishing the terms of the Securities of this series (the “Series Officer’s Certificate”). “Business

Day” means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the

Trustee is closed for business.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the

“Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of November 1, 2015 (herein, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, including the Twenty-third

Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2026, with respect to the Securities of this series, called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank

of New York Mellon, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, for a statement of the property mortgaged, pledged and

held in trust, the nature and extent of the security, the conditions upon which the Lien of the Indenture may be released and to the Indenture and Series Officer’s Certificate creating the series designated on the face hereof, for a statement

of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities 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. The

acceptance of this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder thereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.

Prior to June 15, 2036 (the “Par Call Date”), the Securities of this series will be redeemable at the option of the

Company, in whole or in part, on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice prior to the date fixed for redemption (each, an “Optional Redemption Date”), at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price

(expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) (an “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of:

(1)

(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of the Securities of this

series to be redeemed and interest thereon discounted to the Optional Redemption Date (assuming the Securities of this series 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 15 basis points less (b) interest on the Securities of this series to be redeemed accrued to the Optional Redemption Date, and

(2)

100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of this series being redeemed to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date.

A-2

On or after the Par Call Date, the Securities of this series will be redeemable at the

option of the Company, in whole or in part, on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice prior to the date fixed for redemption, at any time and from time to time, at an Optional Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of

the Securities of this series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Optional 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 Optional 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 Optional 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 Optional Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Optional Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, or, if published, no longer contains the

yields for nominal Treasury constant maturities, 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 Optional Redemption Date as follows:

(1)

the Company shall select (a) the United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, subject to

clause (3) below, or (b) if there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, then the United States Treasury security with the maturity date that is closest to the Par Call Date, subject to clauses (2) and

(3) below, as applicable; or

(2)

if there is no United States Treasury security described in clause (1), but there are two or more United States

Treasury securities with maturity dates equally distant from the Par Call Date, one or more with maturity dates preceding the Par Call Date and one or more with maturity dates following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States

Treasury security with a maturity date preceding and closest to the Par Call Date, subject to clause (3) below; or

A-3

(3)

if there are two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding clauses

(1) or (2), 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 of such United States Treasury security (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to

three decimal places) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Optional

Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

The Securities of this series shall also be

redeemable at the option of the Company in whole at any time, but not in part, upon notice, mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption if a Tax Credit Event occurs with respect to the Securities of this

series at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but not including the date fixed for redemption. A notice of redemption of the

Securities of this series upon the occurrence of a Tax Credit Event (1) may only be sent by the later of (a) the end of the calendar year in which the Securities of this series were issued and (b) six months from the date of issuance

of the Securities of this series and (2) shall be accompanied by a certificate of an officer of the Company stating that a Tax Credit Event has occurred.

A “Tax Credit Event” occurs with respect to the Securities of this series, if, in the reasonable determination of the

Company, there exists a material risk, due to the Securities of this series (considered together with other debt) having been issued, as part of an original issuance, to one or more “specified foreign entities,” as defined in

Section 7701(a)(51)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that the Company or any of its affiliates would be unable to utilize or otherwise ineligible to claim any tax credits otherwise allowed

under Section 38 of the Code.

Notice of redemption (other than at the option of the Holder) shall be given by mail to Holders of

Securities 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 applicable Paying Agent or Agents

of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Security 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 this Security.

In the event of redemption of this Security in

part only, a new Security or Securities 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.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance with certain

conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Series Officer’s Certificate.

A-4

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 may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations

of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of this series at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time

Outstanding to be directly affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all

Securities of such series, 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 Security shall be
