Dynex Capital, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (herein called the "Company," which
term includes any successor corporation to the Indenture hereinafter referred
to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., as a nominee of
The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), or its registered assigns, the principal
sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) on July 15, 2002 and to pay
interest thereon semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 in each
year, commencing January 15, 1998, and at Maturity (each, an "Interest Payment
Date") at the rate of 7.875% per annum until the principal hereof is paid or
made available for payment. This Global Security shall bear interest from the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest in respect hereof has been
2
paid, unless no interest has been paid on this Global Security, in which case
from July 15, 1997. Any payment of principal or interest that is due and payable
shall accrue interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate borne by this Global
Security from the day after the date on which such payment becomes due and
payable to the date payment has been made, compounded on a semi-annual basis.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the
Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid to the Person in whose name
this Global Security is registered on the Security Register for the Securities
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such
Interest Payment Date. The Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest
Payment Date will be January 1 or July 1, as the case may be, immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Global Security will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business
Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall
accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be and as provided in the
Indenture.
Payment of the principal, interest and Make-Whole Amounts, if any, on
this Global Security will be made at the corporate trust office of the Trustee,
which as of July 21, 1997, is located at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx,

The City of New York, which as of July 21, 1997, is Texas Commerce Trust
Company, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Building, Room 000, Xxxxxx 00, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
Xxxx 00000, 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.
The indebtedness represented by this Global Security is, to the extent
provided in the Indenture, senior, unsecured indebtedness of the Company and
ranks prior to all subordinated indebtedness of the Company and pari passu with
all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company outstanding on July 21, 1997.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this 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
the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Global

obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE OF SECURITY]
DYNEX CAPITAL, INC.
1. Indenture. This Global 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 an Indenture, dated as of July 14, 1997 (the
"Indenture"), by and between the Company and Texas Commerce Bank National
Association, as trustee (herein called the "Trustee" which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture). The terms of the Senior Securities
include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code xx.xx. 77aaa-77bbb)
as in effect on the date of the Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto and to the Trust Indenture Act
for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations,
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. All terms used in this Global Security and not
otherwise defined herein which are defined in the Indenture shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
This Global Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof
limited (except as provided in the Indenture) in aggregate principal amount to
$100,000,000 (herein called the "Senior Securities").
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this 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
interest, if any, on this Global Security at the times, place and rate, if any,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
2. Redemption. The Senior Securities may be redeemed at any time at the
option of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption
price payable in U.S. dollars equal to the sum of: (i) the principal amount of
the Senior Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the
redemption date; and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Indenture),
if any, with respect to such Senior Securities (the "Redemption Price").
If notice of redemption has been given as provided in the Indenture and
funds for the redemption of any Senior Securities called for redemption shall
have been made available on the redemption date referred to in such notice, such
Senior Securities will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such
redemption specified in such notice and the only right of the Holders of such
Senior Securities from and after the redemption date will be to receive payment
2
of the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Senior Securities in accordance
with such notice. Notice of any optional redemption of any Senior Securities
will be given to Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register
for the Senior Securities, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption as defined in the Indenture. The notice of redemption
will specify, among other items, the Redemption Price and principal amount of
the Senior Securities held by such Holder to be redeemed. If less than all the
Senior Securities are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, the Company
will notify the Trustee at least 60 days prior to giving notice of redemption
(or such shorter period as may be satisfactory to the Trustee) of the aggregate
principal amount of Senior Securities to be redeemed and their redemption date.
The Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate,
the Senior Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part.
In the event of redemption of any Senior Securities in part only, a new
Senior Security or Securities shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof
in principal amount equivalent to the unredeemed portion of the partially
redeemed Senior Security, and the Senior Security to be redeemed in part shall
be cancelled.
3. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control Triggering
Event. In accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture, upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the
Indenture), each Holder of Senior Securities will have the right, at such
Holder's option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder's
Senior Securities, or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of
$1,000, for cash at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of
the Senior Securities to be repurchased, together with accrued interest to the
repurchase date.
4. Satisfaction and Discharge. The Indenture contains provisions for
the satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of the Senior
Securities upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in
the Indenture.
5. Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any
time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company under the Senior Securities
and (b) certain restrictive covenants and related defaults and Events of
Default, in each case upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set
forth in the Indenture.
3
6. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the
Senior Securities shall occur and be continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders
of not less than 25% in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior
Securities may declare the principal of the Senior Securities and the accrued
interest thereon, if any, to be due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.
7. Amendments and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment or supplementing thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
Holders of the Senior Securities at any time by the Company and the Trustee with
the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
all outstanding Securities affected by such amendment, supplement or
modification. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Senior Securities outstanding,
on behalf of the Holders of all the Senior Securities, to waive compliance by
the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and the consequences of any such defaults. Any such consent
or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holders and upon all future
Holders of this Global Security and of any Senior Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Global
Security.
8. Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Senior Securities are
issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and
any integral multiple thereof (except for Senior Securities issued in global
form, which may be of any denomination).
This Global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this
paragraph and as provided in the Indenture. This Global Security may be
transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee
of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for this Global Security selected or
approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. This Global
Security shall be exchangeable for Senior Securities registered in the names of
Persons other than DTC or its nominee if (x) DTC notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Senior Securities or at
any time ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the successor depositary for such series
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives notice
or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y) there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default and the beneficial
owners representing a majority in principal amount of the Senior
4
Securities represented by this Global Security advise DTC to cease acting as
depositary for such Senior Securities, or (z) the Company, in its sole
discretion, notifies DTC in writing at any time that all Senior Securities (but
not less than all) shall no longer be represented by this Global Security.
Senior Securities so issued in exchange for this Global Security shall be of the
same series, having the same terms as this Global Security, and in the aggregate
have the same principal amount as this Global Security and shall be registered
in such names as DTC shall direct.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, every Senior Security presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company
or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Securities, of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, and containing identical
terms and provisions as such Senior Security, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, as provided in and
subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture.
9. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of any Senior
Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Senior
Security is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not
such Senior Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
10. No Recourse Against Others. No recourse shall be had, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of the principal or interest, if any, on the Senior
Securities, or for any claim based thereon, or otherwise in respect of any
Senior Security, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any past, present or
future stockholder, director or officer, as such, of the Company or the Trustee,
or of any successor of the Company or the Trustee, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released.
