Section 1.1    Definitions.

For all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

(a)    all references in this instrument to designated “Articles,” “Sections” and other subdivisions are to be designated Articles, Sections and other subdivisions of this instrument unless the context otherwise requires; the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision;

(b)    each term defined in the Base Indenture has the same meaning when used in this Supplemental Indenture, except to the extent specifically defined herein, in which case the meaning ascribed to it in this Supplemental Indenture shall control; and

(c)    Section 1.1 of the Base Indenture is amended and supplemented, solely with respect to the Notes, by inserting the following additional defined terms in their appropriate alphabetical positions:

“Administrative or Judicial Action” has the meaning provided in the definition of “Tax Event.”

“Bank” means:

(1)    any institution organized under the laws of the United States, any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, any territory of the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa or the Virgin Islands which

(2)     any trust company organized under any of the foregoing laws.

“Benchmark” means, initially, Three-Month Term SOFR; provided that if the Calculation Agent determines on or prior to the Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

2

“Benchmark Replacement” means the Interpolated Benchmark with respect to the then-current Benchmark, plus the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment for such Benchmark; provided that if (a) the Calculation Agent cannot determine the Interpolated Benchmark as of the Benchmark Replacement Date or (b) the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR (in which event no Interpolated Benchmark with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR shall be determined), then “Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)    Compounded SOFR;

(2)    the sum of: (a) the alternate rate that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3)    the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate, and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(4)    the sum of: (a) the alternate rate that has been selected by the Calculation Agent as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor, giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate securities at such time, and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1)    the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2)    if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; and

(3)    the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Calculation Agent giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate securities at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “interest period,” timing and frequency of determining rates with respect to each interest period and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenors, and other administrative matters) that the Calculation Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market

3

practice (or, if the Calculation Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Calculation Agent determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Calculation Agent determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)    in the case of clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the relevant Reference Time in respect of any determination;

(2)    in the case of clause (2) or (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or

(3)    in the case of clause (4) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the definitions of Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Event, references to the Benchmark also include any reference rate underlying the Benchmark (for example, if the Benchmark becomes Compounded SOFR, references to the Benchmark would include SOFR).

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)    if the Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR, (a) the Relevant Governmental Body has not selected or recommended a forward-looking term rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR, (b) the development of a forward-looking term rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR that has been recommended or selected by the Relevant Governmental Body is not complete or (c) the Company determines that the use of a forward-looking rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR is not administratively feasible;

(2)    a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(3)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with

4

similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or

(4)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

(2)    if, and to the extent that, the Calculation Agent determines that Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in accordance with clause (1) above, then the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate that have been selected by the Calculation Agent giving due consideration to any industry-accepted market practice for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate securities at such time.

For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Compounded SOFR shall exclude the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment (if applicable) and the spread of 514 basis points per annum.

“Term SOFR” means the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body.

Section 2.2    Form and Denomination of Notes.

The definitive form of the Notes and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication to be endorsed thereon shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, which is incorporated herein and made part hereof. The Notes shall bear interest and have such other terms as are stated in the form of definitive Notes or in this Indenture. The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be June 15, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.3    Initial Limit on Amount of Series.

The Notes shall initially be limited to U.S. $115,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, and may, upon the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture or from time to time thereafter, be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes to or upon the delivery of a Company Order. Following the initial issuance of the Notes, the aggregate principal amount of Notes may be increased as provided in Section 2.5 hereof.

Section 2.4    Rank; Subordination.

The Notes are unsecured and shall rank subordinate and junior, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Indenture, in right of payment and upon liquidation of all the Company’s obligations to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company. The Notes shall rank equally among themselves and with all of the Company’s other subordinated unsecured indebtedness that, in the instrument creating or evidencing the same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding, provides that such obligations are not superior in right of payment to the Notes or to other indebtedness that is pari passu with, or is not subordinate to, the Notes. It is intended that the Notes be and are Tier 2 capital or the equivalent, for all regulatory purposes.

Section 2.5    Further Issues Without Holders’ Consent.

The Company may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, but in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, create and issue additional Notes having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes (other than the date of issuance, the issue price, the initial interest accrual date and the first Interest Payment Date). Any such additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably with the Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes initially issued hereunder, shall constitute a single series of Securities for all purposes under this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no additional Notes may be issued unless (1) the additional Notes will be fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for United States securities law purposes, (2) (a) the additional Notes are issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of the Notes initially issued hereunder for United States federal income tax purposes, or (b) the Notes initially issued hereunder were, and the additional Notes are, issued without any original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes and (3) the additional Notes have the same CUSIP number as the Notes initially issued hereunder. No additional Notes may be issued if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

9

Section 2.6    Form and Payment.

Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable in U.S. Dollars. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, holds as of 12:00 noon Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all such amounts then due. At the option of the Company, interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled to such interest as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Section 2.7    Interest.

(a)    The Notes shall bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum from and including June 5, 2020 to, but excluding, June 15, 2025 or any earlier Redemption Date (the “Fixed Rate Period”). Interest accrued on the Notes during the Fixed Rate Period shall be payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2020 (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”). The last Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date shall be June 15, 2025, unless the Notes are earlier redeemed. The interest payable on each Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period shall be paid to each Holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the applicable Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Regular Record Date”), except that interest that is paid at Maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal shall be payable.

(b)    The Notes shall bear a floating interest rate from, and including June 15, 2025, to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or earlier Redemption Date (the “Floating Rate Period”). The floating interest rate shall be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Rate Period shall be equal to the then-current Three-Month Term SOFR plus 514 basis points for each quarterly interest period during the Floating Rate Period. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on the Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2025 (each such date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date” and, together with a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable on each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period shall be paid to each Holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Floating Rate Regular Record Date”), except that interest that is paid at Maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal shall be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Three-Month Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) is less than zero, then Three-Month Term SOFR (or other such Benchmark) shall be deemed to be zero. The Calculation Agent shall provide the Company and the Trustee with the interest rate in effect on the Notes promptly after the Reference Time (or such other date of determination for the applicable Benchmark).

(c)    The amount of interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months to, but excluding, June 15, 2025, and, the amount of interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed. The Company or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, shall calculate the amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date

10

and the Trustee shall have no duty to confirm or verify any such calculation. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date or of principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (any payment made on such date shall be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Interest Payment Date); provided, that in the event that any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be accelerated to the immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day shall include interest accrued to, but excluding, such Business Day. Dollar amounts resulting from interest calculations shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with one half cent being rounded upward.

(d)    The Company shall take such actions as are necessary to ensure that from the commencement of the Floating Rate Period for so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding there shall at all times be a Calculation Agent appointed to calculate Three-Month Term SOFR in respect of each Floating Rate Period and to determine and calculate any interest in respect of any Benchmark Replacement. The calculation of Three-Month Term SOFR for each applicable Floating Rate Period by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate and its calculation of interest payments for any period shall be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s principal offices, shall be made available to any Holder of the Notes upon request and shall be provided to the Trustee (for informational purposes only). The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether any manifest error has occurred, may conclusively assume that no such manifest error exists and shall not be liable in so assuming. The Calculation Agent shall have all the rights, protections and indemnities afforded to the Trustee under this Indenture and hereunder. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as Calculation Agent or is removed by the Company, the Company shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed; provided, that if a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed by the Company and such successor accepted such position within 30 days after the giving of notice of resignation by the Calculation Agent, then the resigning Calculation Agent may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent with respect to such series. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor compliance or see to the performance by the Calculation Agent of any of its obligations in respect of the Notes or to perform such obligations, and shall not be under any duty to succeed to, assume or otherwise perform, any duties of the Calculation Agent, or to appoint a successor or replacement in the event of the Calculation Agent’s resignation or removal or to replace the Calculation Agent in the event of a default, breach or failure of performance on the part of the Calculation Agent with respect to the Calculation Agent’s duties and obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time there is no Calculation Agent appointed by the Company, or the Calculation Agent appointed by the Company is unable or unwilling to perform its duties hereunder, then the Company shall be the Calculation Agent. The Company may appoint itself or any of its Affiliates to be the Calculation Agent.

11

(e)    

(1)    If the Calculation Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred on or prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, then the Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes during the Floating Rate Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

(2)    Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 2.7(b) above, if the Calculation Agent determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, then the provisions set forth in this Section 2.7(e) shall thereafter apply to all determinations of the interest rate on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period. After a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate on the Notes for each interest period during the Floating Rate Period shall be an annual rate equal to the Benchmark Replacement plus 514 basis points.

(3)    The Calculation Agent is expressly authorized to make the determinations, decisions and elections set forth in the terms of the Notes, including with respect to the use of Three-Month Term SOFR as the Benchmark, and in this Section 2.7(e). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Calculation Agent under the terms of the Notes, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or selection (A) shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee absent manifest error, (B) if made by the Company as Calculation Agent, shall be made in the Company’s sole discretion, (C) if made by a Calculation Agent other than the Company, shall be made after consultation with the Company, and the Calculation Agent shall not make any such determination, decision or election to which the Company reasonably objects and (D) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Base Indenture, shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee or any other party. If the Calculation Agent fails to make any determination, decision or election that it is required to make under the terms of the Notes, then the Company shall make such determination, decision or election on the same basis as described above.

(4)    The Company (or its Calculation Agent) shall notify the Trustee in writing (for informational purposes only) (i) upon the occurrence of the Benchmark Transition Event and the Benchmark Replacement Date, and (ii) of any Benchmark Replacements, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and other items affecting the interest rate on the Notes after a Benchmark Transition Event.

(5)    The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for the actions or omissions of the Calculation Agent hereunder, or any failure or delay in the performance of the Calculation Agent’s duties or obligations, nor shall it be under any obligation to monitor or oversee the performance of the Calculation Agent. For the avoidance of doubt (and without limitation of the

foregoing), the Trustee (including in its capacity as Paying Agent) shall have no (i) responsibility or liability for the (A) Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions, (B) selection of an alternative reference rate to Three-Month Term SOFR (including, without limitation, whether the conditions for the designation of such rate have been satisfied or whether such rate is a Benchmark Replacement or an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement), (C) determination or calculation of a Benchmark Replacement, or (D) determination of whether a Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred, and in each such case under clauses (A) through (D) above shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the selection, determination, and/or calculation thereof as provided by the Company or its Calculation Agent, as applicable, and (ii) liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties hereunder as a result of the unavailability of a Benchmark rate as described in the definition thereof, including, without limitation, as a result of the Company’s or Calculation Agent’s failure to select a Benchmark Replacement or the Calculation Agent’s failure to calculate a Benchmark. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on all notices from the Company or its Calculation Agent regarding any Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement, including, without limitation, in regards to Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions, a Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, and Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. All notices received hereunder by the Trustee from the Calculation Agent and all notices received by the Trustee from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.7(e) shall be for informational purposes only and shall not require the Trustee to take any action in respect thereof. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination made, and any instruction, notice, Officers’ Certificate or other instruction or information provided by the Calculation Agent without independent verification, investigation or inquiry of any kind. The Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment or supplement hereto that adversely impacts its rights, duties, obligations, immunities or liabilities (including, without limitation, in connection with the adoption of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes).

(6)    If the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR, the Calculation Agent shall have the right to establish the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions, and if any of the foregoing provisions concerning the calculation of the interest rate and the payment of interest during the Floating Rate Period are inconsistent with any of the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions determined by the Calculation Agent, then the relevant Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions shall apply.

Section 2.8    No Sinking Fund.

No sinking fund shall be provided with respect to the Notes. In no event shall any Holder of the Notes have the right to require the Company to call, redeem or repurchase the Notes, in whole or in part, and Article XII of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes. Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall limit the ability of Holders of Notes to enforce their rights to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes at maturity as provided in the Notes and in the Base Indenture, including Section 5.8 of the Base Indenture.

Section 2.9    Notes Not Convertible or Exchangeable.

Section 2.10    Global Securities.

The Notes shall be issued as Registered Securities and in the form of one or more permanent global Securities, without coupons, registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee.

14

(a)    either:

(1)     all Notes previously authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost, or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 of the Base Indenture and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has previously been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3 of the Base Indenture) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

With respect to the Notes only, the limitations set forth in Section 5.7 of the Base Indenture do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of Notes for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes on or after the Maturity Date.

With respect to the Notes only, Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.12 of the Base Indenture are hereby replaced with the following:

Section 5.1    Events of Default.

“Events of Default,” wherever used in this Indenture with respect to the Notes, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default, whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree, or order of any court or any order, rule, or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a)    a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or a Principal Subsidiary Bank in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or a Principal Subsidiary Bank is appointed for the Company or for any substantial part of its property or for a Principal Subsidiary Bank, or a court or a bank regulatory authority having jurisdiction in the premises, shall appoint a receiver or similar official, or order the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company or a Principal Subsidiary Bank, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(b)     the Company or a Principal Subsidiary Bank shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case under any such law, or the Company or a Principal Subsidiary Bank shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or a Principal Subsidiary Bank or for any substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due or shall take any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

Section 5.2    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default under clause (a) or (b) of Section 5.1 hereof with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration has been made with respect to the Notes and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in Article V of this Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee may waive all defaults with respect to

16

all affected series, and may rescind and annul such declaration and the consequences of the Event of Default if:

(a)    the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (1) all overdue interest on all Notes, (2) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest on such Notes at the rate or rates prescribed herein and in the Notes, and (3) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents, and counsel; and

(b)    all defaults and Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Base Indenture.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any consequent right.

Except for an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), no other default, or failure to perform, or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company, shall result in a right to accelerate the principal or interest due under the Securities then Outstanding.

Section 5.3    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

(a)    default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,

(b)    default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at its Maturity and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(c)    default is made in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in the performance of which or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than such series), and such default or breach continues for a period of 30 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under this Indenture,

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed in such Securities, and, in addition, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents, and counsel.

17

If the Company fails to pay such amounts immediately upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 5.12    Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes, provided that:

(a)    such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

(b)    the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction,

(c)    such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of the Notes (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders); and

(d)    the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

ARTICLE VI

DEFEASANCE

Section 6.1    Defeasance Applicable to Notes.

ARTICLE VII

REDEMPTION

Section 7.1    Redemption.

The Notes shall be redeemable, in each case, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company beginning with the Interest Payment Date on June 15, 2025, but not prior thereto (except upon the occurrence of certain events specified below), and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter (each, a “Redemption Date”), subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is then required under the rules of the Federal Reserve. The Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes before the Maturity Date, in whole, but not in part, subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is then required under the rules of the Federal Reserve, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event or a Tax Event, or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.). Any such redemption shall be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date fixed by the Company. The provisions of Article XI of the Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Section 7.1. Any partial redemption of a global Security representing the Notes shall be made in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures among all of the Holders of the Notes. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state that it is a partial redemption and the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and a replacement Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

Section 7.2    Effect of Notice of Redemption.

With respect to the Notes only, Section 11.6 of the Base Indenture is hereby revised to read as follows:

Notice of redemption having been given in accordance with this Indenture, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price specified in the notice, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest; provided that any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Company in its sole discretion) of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering, issuance of indebtedness, or other corporate transaction or event, and notice of any redemption in respect thereof may be given prior to the completion thereof and may be partial as a result of only some of the conditions being satisfied. Any such conditions precedent shall be set forth in the notice of redemption, and such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), including to a date that is more than 60 days following the date of the initial notice of redemption, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date.

Interest accrued on this Security during the Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”), with the first such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being December 15, 2020, and the last such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being June 15, 2025, unless redeemed prior to such date. This Security will bear interest at a floating per annum interest rate from and including June 15, 2025, to, but excluding, the Stated Maturity Date or any earlier redemption date (the “Redemption Date”) (such period, the “Floating Rate Period”). The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Interest Period will be equal to the then-current Benchmark plus 514 basis points. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on this Security will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year (each such date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”, and together with a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being September 15, 2025, and the last such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being the Stated Maturity Date, unless redeemed prior to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Benchmark is less than zero, the Benchmark shall be deemed to be zero. 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 one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom principal shall be payable.

The interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months to, but excluding, June 15, 2025. The interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed. If a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date for this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date or the payment of principal and interest on the Stated Maturity Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, but the payments made on such dates will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and the Holder of this Security will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment. If a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to, but excluding, such Business Day.

No sinking fund will be provided with respect to this Security. In no event shall any Holder of this Security have the right to require the Company to call, redeem or repurchase this Security, in whole or in part prior to maturity. Nothing in this paragraph, however, shall limit the ability of the Holder of this Security to enforce its rights to the payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Security at maturity as provided herein.

Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or such other office or agency designated by the Company for that purpose, in U.S. Dollars; provided that, at the option of the Company, interest on this Security may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled to such interest as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Under certain conditions, the Company may, without notice to or the consent of the Holder of this Security, create and issue additional notes having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date and other terms as this Security (other than the date of issuance, the issue price, the initial interest accrual date and the first Interest Payment Date), provided that no such additional notes may be issued unless (1) the additional notes are fungible with this Security for United States securities law purposes, (2) (a) the additional notes are issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of this Security for United States federal income tax purposes, or (b) this Security was, and the additional notes are, issued without any original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes and (3) the additional notes have the same CUSIP number as this Security. No additional notes may be issued if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to this Security. Such additional notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with this Security for all purposes under the Indenture.

Any “depository institution,” as defined in Section 3(c)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, which holds this Security (or beneficial interest therein) shall be deemed to have agreed by acquiring this Security (or such beneficial interest) to waive any rights to offset all or any portion of the indebtedness represented by this Security (or such beneficial interest) against any indebtedness or other obligations of such institution to the Company.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this 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 by manual or pdf or other electronically imaged (including without limitation DocuSign and AdobeSign) signature of an authorized signatory, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest, rank and in any other respect provided in the Indenture.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt to the extent provided in the Indenture, and each Holder of this Security, by such Holder’s acceptance of this Security, covenants and agrees to the subordination provided in the Indenture and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture. Senior Debt shall continue to be Senior Debt and entitled to the benefits of these subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification, or waiver of any term of the Senior Debt or extension or renewal of the Senior Debt.

Each Holder hereof, by his, her or its acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and waives reliance by each such Holder upon said provisions.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of this Security upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

Any Event of Default with respect to this Security may be waived by the Holder hereof, as and if provided in the Indenture.

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities of this series, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), on any Interest Payment Date on or after June 15, 2025. The Company may also, at its option, redeem the Securities of this series before the Stated Maturity Date, in whole, but not in part, at any time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Any such redemption will be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date fixed by the Company.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, to the extent then required under or pursuant to applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve, this Security may not be repaid prior to the Stated Maturity Date without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve.

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 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 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.

EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND EACH HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY, THE INDENTURE, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
