Capstead Mortgage Trust I, or registered assigns, the principal sum of Thirty

HEREBY AS MAY BE SET FORTH IN THE RECORDS OF THE SECURITIES REGISTRAR
HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INDENTURE] on October 30, 2035.

interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on January 30,
April 30, July 30 and October 30, of each year, commencing October 30, 2005, or
if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (and
no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed
for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date until such next
succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made
on the Interest Payment Date, at a fixed rate equal to 8.19% per annum through
the interest payment date on October 30, 2015 ("Fixed Rate Period") and
thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum, together with

compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or
made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.
The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be
computed during the Fixed Rate Period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months, and thereafter on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. The interest so payable,
and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as
provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or

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 not less than ten (10)
3
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

the Company in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or
other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees,
officers, directors or consultants, (2) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder
stock purchase plan and (3) the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or
securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as
consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to such Event of
Default, (b) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of
the Company's capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the
Company) for any class or series of the Company's capital stock or of any class
or series of the Company's indebtedness for any class or series of the Company's
capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the
Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of
such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any
declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of
rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan, or the redemption or
repurchase of rights pursuant thereto or (e) any dividend in the form of stock,
warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable
upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as
that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to
such stock).
Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this
Security shall be made 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. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Maturity
of this Security shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender of such
Securities to the Paying Agent, and payments of interest shall be made, subject
to such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such
account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in
writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date
for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer
instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case
such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as
such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the Holder of this Security is the Property Trustee, the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on this
Security will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by
the Property Trustee.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent
provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and this Security is issued subject to
the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this
Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b)
4
authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and

purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice
of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the
Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter
incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (the "Securities") issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated
as of September 26, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, National Association, as Trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee," which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the
Securities and the holders of the Preferred Securities, and of the terms upon
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or
in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2005 (as
modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Trust Agreement"),
relating to the Capstead Mortgage Trust I (the "Trust") among the Company, as
Depositor, the Trustees named therein and the Holders from time to time of the
Trust Securities issued pursuant thereto, shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.
The Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option, upon
not less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' written notice to
the Holders of the Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee) on or after October 30, 2010 and subject to the
terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, redeem this Security in
whole at any time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to
one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case
of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional
Interest, through but excluding the date fixed as the Redemption Date.
In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a
Special Event, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30)
days' nor more than sixty (60) days' written notice to the Holders of the
Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the terms
and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to one
hundred seven and one half percent (107.5%) of the principal amount hereof,
together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including
any Additional Interest, through but excluding the date fixed as the Redemption
Date.
5
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If less than all the
Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide
for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any
Security.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the Company and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture
or indentures for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights and
obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the Securities, with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities, 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 Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any 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 Security.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
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 any
premium, if any, and interest, including any Additional Interest (to the extent
legally enforceable), on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the
coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is restricted to transfers to
"Qualified Purchasers" (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended), and is registrable in the Securities Register, upon surrender
of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the
Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Securities Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Xxxxxx's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities,
of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Securities and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
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.
6
The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial
interest herein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial
interest in, this Security agree that, for United States federal, state and
local tax purposes, it is intended that this Security constitute indebtedness.
