Definition of Terms. For all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture:


 


(a)                
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Base Indenture, provided that
if the definition of a capitalized term defined in this First Supplemental Indenture conflicts with the definition of that capitalized
term in the Base Indenture, the definition of that capitalized term in this First Supplemental Indenture shall control for purposes
of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes;


(b)                
a term defined anywhere in this First Supplemental Indenture has the same meaning throughout this First Supplemental Indenture;


(c)

headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation;



    	1



    	 



    




(e)                
unless otherwise specified or unless the context requires otherwise, (i) all references in this First Supplemental Indenture
to Sections refer to the corresponding Sections of this First Supplemental Indenture and (ii) the terms “herein,”
“hereof,” “hereunder” and any other word of similar import refer to this First Supplemental Indenture;
and


(f)                 
for purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, the following terms have the meanings given to them in
this Section 1.2(f):


“2031
Series” shall have the meaning set forth in the Recitals.


“Authenticating
Agent” means any Person authorized by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.15 of the Base Indenture to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate the Notes.


“Base
Indenture” shall have the meaning set forth in the Recitals.


“Benchmark”
means, initially, Three-Month Term SOFR, provided that, if the Calculation Agent determines on or prior to the Reference Time
for any Floating Rate Interest Period 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 for such Floating Rate Interest Period and any subsequent Floating Rate Interest Periods.


“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; or


(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 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;
or



    	2



    	 



    




(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 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, without limitation, changes to the definition of “Floating Rate Interest Period,”
timing and frequency of determining rates with respect to each Floating Rate Interest Period and making payments of interest,
rounding of amounts or tenors, and other administrative matters) that the Calculation Agent determines may be appropriate to reflect
the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Calculation Agent
determines 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 the date of
the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and 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, 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 will 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 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



    	3



    	 



    




(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.

or trust companies in the City of New York, New York or any Place of Payment are authorized or obligated by law, regulation, or
executive order to close or remain closed.

Body for determining Compounded SOFR; provided that:


(2)                
if, and to the extent that, the Calculation Agent determines that Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in accordance with

the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Compounded SOFR shall exclude the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and the spread specified
herein.

consideration for the acquisition of property or services, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, but does not
include any trade accounts payable.


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Federal Reserve Board (or other competent regulatory agency or authority) promulgates any rule or issues
any interpretation that defines general creditor(s), the main purpose of which is to establish criteria for determining whether
the subordinated debt of a bank holding company is to be included in its capital, then the term “general creditors”

(2)                
a judicial decision, administrative action, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation,

(3)                
an amendment to or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial
action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation;
or


(4)                
a threatened challenge asserted in writing in connection with an audit of the Company’s federal income tax returns
or positions or a similar audit of any of its Subsidiaries, or a publicly known threatened challenge asserted in writing against
any other taxpayer that has raised capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the Notes, in
each case, occurring or becoming publicly known on or after the date of original issuance of the Notes, has resulted in more than
an insubstantial increase in the risk that the interest paid by the Company on the Notes is not, or within 90 days of receipt
of such opinion of tax counsel, will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.


“Term
SOFR” means the forward-looking term rate for the applicable Corresponding Tenor based on SOFR that has been selected

Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of Three-Month Term SOFR shall be
rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%.


“Three-Month
Term SOFR Conventions” means any determination, decision, or election with respect to any technical, administrative,
or operational matter (including with respect to the manner and timing of the publication of Three-Month Term SOFR, or changes
to the definition of “Floating Rate Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining Three-Month Term SOFR with
respect to each Floating Rate Interest Period and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenors, and other administrative
matters) that the Calculation Agent determines may be appropriate to reflect the use of Three-Month Term SOFR as the Benchmark
in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Calculation Agent determines that adoption of any portion
of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Calculation Agent determines that no market practice for the
use of Three-Month Term SOFR exists, in such other manner as the Calculation Agent determines is reasonably necessary).


“Tier
2 Capital Event” shall mean the receipt by the Company of an opinion of Independent Bank Regulatory Counsel to the effect
that, as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws or any regulations
thereunder of the United States or any rules, guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory authority for the Company or
(b) any official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which amendment
or change is effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the Notes,
the Notes do not constitute, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion will not constitute, Tier 2 capital (or its then equivalent
if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board
(or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies), as then in effect and applicable to the
Company.

provided herein and unlimited in the aggregate principal amount that may be issued. The Notes initially issued pursuant to the terms
of the Indenture shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $85,000,000 which amount shall be set forth in a Company Order pursuant
to Article 2 of the Base Indenture, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes in accordance with such
Company Order and the Indenture, including Section 2.06 of the Base Indenture. The Securities that are a part of such Series of
Securities shall be in the form and have the terms, provisions and conditions as set forth in the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental
Indenture and the Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(b)                
The Company may, from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the Notes, issue additional Securities
ranking equally with the Notes and identical to the Notes issued on the date hereof in all respects (except for the issue date,
the offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional Securities and the first payment
of interest following the issue date of such additional Securities) in order that such additional Securities may be consolidated
and form a single series with the Notes and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes. However, any
additional Securities of the series of which the Notes are a part that are issued and are not fungible with the outstanding Notes
of such series for United States federal income tax purposes will be issued under one or more separate CUSIP numbers and ISIN
numbers. No limit exists on the aggregate principal amount of the additional Securities of this series that the Company may issue
in the future.


Section
2.2                 
Maturity. The date upon which the Notes shall
become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest then owing, is November 15, 2031 (the “Maturity
Date”).


 


Section
2.3                 
Form, Payment and Appointment. Except as provided
in Section 2.07(d) of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be issued only in book-entry form, will be represented by one or more
Global Notes (as defined below) registered in the name of or held by The Depositary Trust Company (and any successor organization thereto)
(“DTC”) or its nominee. Principal or the redemption price, if any, of a Note shall be payable to the Person in whose
name that Note is registered on the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, provided that the redemption price, if any,
principal of and interest on the Notes represented by one or more Global Notes (as hereinafter defined) registered in the name of or
held by DTC or its nominee will be payable in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered
holder of such Global Notes. The principal of any certificated Notes will be payable at the Place of Payment set forth below.


 


The
Notes shall have such other terms as are set forth in the form thereof attached hereto as Exhibit A, which is incorporated
herein and made a part hereof.


The
Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent, and Paying Agent for the Notes shall initially be the Trustee. The Company will appoint
a Person to act as the Calculation Agent as provided under the definition of Calculation Agent and Section 2.5.


The
Place of Payment for the Notes shall be an office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which shall initially
be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.


The
Notes will be issued and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an
integral multiple of $1,000. The Company will pay principal of and interest on the Notes in U.S. Dollars.


Section
2.4                 
Global Note. The Notes shall be issued initially
in the form of one or more fully registered global notes (each such global note, a “Global Note”) registered in the
name of DTC or its nominee and deposited with DTC or its designated custodian or such other Depositary as any Authorized Officer of the
Company may from time to time designate. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for definitive certificated Notes, such Global Note
may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a successor
Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary as provided in the Indenture.


 


Section
2.5                 
Interest.


 


(a)                
From and including November 8, 2021, to, but excluding, November 15, 2026 (unless redeemed prior to such date pursuant
to Section 3.2 hereof) (the “Fixed Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.250% per
year. During the Fixed Rate Period, interest on the Notes will accrue from and including November 8, 2021, and will be payable semiannually
in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year during the Fixed Rate Period, commencing on May 15, 2022 (each such date, a “Fixed
Period Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable on the Notes on any Fixed Period Interest Payment Date will be paid to
the holder at the close of business on the on May 1 and November 1 (whether or not a business day), as applicable, immediately preceding
the applicable Fixed Period Interest Payment Date through November 15, 2026.



    	9



    	 



    




(b)                
From and including November 15, 2026, to, but excluding, the Maturity Date (unless redeemed prior to such date pursuant to Section
3.1 or Section 3.2 hereof) (the “Floating Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate
per year equal to the Benchmark, plus 230 basis points. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on the Notes will accrue from
and including November 15, 2026 and will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year,
commencing on February 15, 2027 (each such date, a “Floating Period Interest Payment Date” and, together with a Fixed
Period Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable on the Notes on any Floating Period
Interest Payment Date will, except as noted in the immediately succeeding sentence, be paid to the holder at the close of business on
February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 of each year (whether or not a business day), as applicable, immediately preceding the applicable
Floating Period Interest Payment Date through the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date. However, interest that the Company pays on
the Maturity Date will be paid to the Person to whom the principal will be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Benchmark is
less than zero, then the Benchmark shall be deemed to be zero. The Calculation Agent will provide the Company and the Trustee with written
notice of the interest rate in effect on the Notes promptly after the Reference Time (or such other date of determination for the applicable
Benchmark) for each Floating Rate Interest Period.


(c)                
During the Fixed Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
During the Floating Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
Dollar amounts resulting from those calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.


(d)                
The Company or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, shall calculate the amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment
Date, and the Trustee shall have no duty to confirm or verify any such calculation. If any Fixed Period Interest Payment Date
for the Notes or the date for the payment of principal for the Notes occurring during the Fixed Rate Period falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the Company will postpone the interest or principal payment to 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 holders of the Notes
will not be entitled to any further interest, principal or other payments with respect to such postponements. If any Floating
Period Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will postpone the interest
payment or the payment of principal and interest at the Maturity Date to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to
the Maturity Date, no additional interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date) unless,
with respect to a Floating Period Interest Payment Date only, such day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Floating
Period Interest Payment Date will instead be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day, and interest will accrue to,
but excluding, such Floating Period Interest Payment Date as so adjusted.


(e)                
The Company shall appoint a Calculation Agent prior to the commencement of the Floating Rate Period. The Company will act
as the initial Calculation Agent. The calculation of the interest rate for any Floating Rate Interest Period by the Calculation
Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be conclusive and binding upon the beneficial owners and holders of the Notes, the
Company (if the Company is not also the Calculation Agent) and the Trustee. The Calculation Agent’s determination of any
interest rate, and its calculation of interest payments, for any Floating Rate Interest Period, will be maintained on file at
the Calculation Agent’s principal offices, and will be made available to any holder of the Notes upon request. The Calculation
Agent shall have all the rights, protections and indemnities afforded to the Trustee under the Indenture. The Company may remove
the Calculation Agent at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as Calculation Agent or is removed by
the Company, the Company will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent. The Trustee 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
under the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time there is no Calculation Agent appointed by the Company, then the
Company shall be the Calculation Agent. By its acquisition of the Notes, each holder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each
beneficial owner) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by the Company’s and the Calculation Agent’s
determination of the interest rate for each Floating Rate Interest Period, including the Company’s and its determination
of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment,
and Benchmark Transition Event, including as may occur without any prior notice from the Company or the Calculation Agent and
without the need for the Company or it to obtain any further consent from any holder of the Notes.



    	10



    	 



    




(f)                 
Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.


(i)                  
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 Floating Rate Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period, then the Benchmark
Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes during such Floating Rate Interest
Period and all remaining Floating Rate Interest Periods. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the
Calculation Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.


(ii)                
Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 2.5(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 2.5(f) will thereafter apply to all determinations
of the Benchmark used to calculate the interest rate on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period.


(iii)               
The Calculation Agent is expressly authorized to make certain determinations, decisions, and elections under the terms
of the Notes, including with respect to the use of Three-Month Term SOFR as the Benchmark for the Floating Rate Period and under
this Section 2.5(f). Any determination, decision, or election that may be made by the Company or 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 any selection
(A) will be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Notes, the Company (if the Company is not also the Calculation Agent)
and the Trustee absent manifest error, (B) if made by the Company as Calculation Agent, will be made in the Company’s sole
discretion, (C) if made by a Calculation Agent other than the Company, will be made after consultation with the Company, and the
Calculation Agent will not make any such determination, decision, or election to which the Company reasonably objects and (D)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the Notes
or 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 will make such determination, decision, or election on the same
basis as described above.


(iv)              
The Company (or the Calculation Agent) shall notify the Trustee in writing (i) upon the occurrence of the Benchmark Transition
Event or the Benchmark Replacement Date, and (ii) of any Benchmark Replacements, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes after
a Benchmark Transition Event.


(v)                
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 the 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 the 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. The Trustee shall not
be responsible or liable for the actions or omissions of the Calculation Agent, 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. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made, and any instruction, notice,
Officer’s Certificate or other instruction or information provided by the Calculation Agent without independent verification,
investigation or inquiry of any kind.



    	11



    	 



    




(vi)              
If the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR, the Calculation Agent will 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 interest payments
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 will apply. Furthermore, if the Calculation Agent determines that a
Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Three-Month Term SOFR
at any time when any of the Notes are outstanding, then the foregoing provisions concerning the calculation of the interest rate
and interest payments during the Floating Rate Period will be modified in accordance with this Section 2.5(f).


Section
2.6         Subordination.


 


(a)                
The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each holder of Notes by the holder’s
acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and interest on each and all of the Notes
is and will be expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, subject to
clause (j) of this Section 2.6, to the extent and in the manner described in this Section 2.6 and Section
16.01 of the Base Indenture.


(b)                
In the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or other marshalling of the assets and liabilities
of the Company (subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights
conferred upon the Senior Indebtedness and the holders thereof with respect to the Notes and the holders thereof by a lawful plan
of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law):


(i)                  
the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in accordance with the terms
of such Senior Indebtedness of the principal thereof, premium, if any, and the interest due thereon (including interest accruing
subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect) before the holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any payment upon
the principal of or interest on indebtedness evidenced by the Notes;


(ii)                
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
to which the holders of the Notes would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 16.01 of the Base Indenture and
this Section 2.6, including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment
of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee
or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a bankruptcy trustee, a receiver or liquidating trustee
or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees
under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, in accordance
with the priorities then existing among holders of Senior Indebtedness for payment of the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on
account of the principal, premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding
for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter
in effect) on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any other concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness; it being understood that if the holders of the Notes shall fail to file a proper claim in the form required by any
proceeding referred to in this subparagraph (ii) prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim
or claims, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim or claims for and on behalf
of the holders of the Notes, in the form required in any such proceeding; and



    	12



    	 



    




(iii)               
in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason
of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinate to the payment of the Notes shall be received by the
Trustee or holders of the Notes before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over
to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment of assets
of the Company for all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after
giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.


Subject
to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the holders of the Notes shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior
Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to holders
of such Senior Indebtedness to which the holders of the Notes would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 16.01
of the Base Indenture and this Section 2.6, of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the holders
of Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders
of the Notes, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the
provisions of this Section 2.6 are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the
Notes, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Upon any payment or distribution of assets
of the Company referred to in this Section 2.6, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to rely upon
any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such proceeding for the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation or other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the liquidating
trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the holders of the Notes for the purpose of ascertaining
the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the
Company, the amount hereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Section 2.6. In the absence of any such liquidating trustee, agent or other Person, the Trustee shall
be entitled to rely upon a written notice by a Person representing itself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or is such a trustee
or representative). With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such
of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Section 2.6, and no implied covenants or obligations
with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Section 2.6 against the Trustee. The Trustee,
however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by reason of the execution of the
Base Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture, or any other supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 2.01
or Article 10 of the Base Indenture, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or
distribute to or on behalf of holders of the Notes or the Company moneys or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 2.6.


(c)                
In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, any Senior Indebtedness, beyond any applicable grace period, or if any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness
shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur as a result of the payment referred to hereinafter, permitting the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof, then, unless and
until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment or principal
of or interest on the Notes, shall be made by the Company.


(d)                
Nothing contained in the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture, any other supplemental indenture entered into
pursuant to Section 2.01 or Article 10 of the Base Indenture, or in any of the Notes shall: (i) impair, as between
the Company, its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and holders of the Notes, the obligations of the Company,
which are unconditional and absolute, to make, or prevent the Company from making, at any time except as provided in clauses
(b), (c), or (j) of this Section 2.6, payments of principal of, or interest (including interest accruing
subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on, the Notes, as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance
with the terms of the Notes; (ii) affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Notes and creditors of the Company other than
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness; (iii) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental
Indenture and the Notes with respect to the limitation on the rights of the Trustee and the holders of Notes, to accelerate the
maturity of the Notes and pursue remedies upon such an acceleration, prevent the holder of any Notes or the Trustee from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default thereunder, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section
2.6 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise
of such remedy; or (iv) prevent the application by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to
the payment of or on account of the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or prevent the receipt by the Trustee or any Paying
Agent of such moneys, if, prior to the third Business Day prior to such deposit, the Trustee or such Paying Agent did not have
written notice of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company.



    	13



    	 



    




(e)                
Each holder by his acceptance of any Notes authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on such holder’s behalf to
take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in the Indenture, and appoints the
Trustee such holder’s attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any termination, winding up, liquidation
or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon
an assignment for the benefit of creditors by the Company, a marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company) tending
toward the liquidation of the property and assets of the Company, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of the Notes in
the form required in those proceedings.


The
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the Company from
making any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 or Article
16 of the Base Indenture. The Trustee shall not be charged with the knowledge of the existence of any default or event of
default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or of any other facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee unless and until the Trustee shall have received notice in writing at its Corporate Trust Office to that effect signed
by an Officer of the Company, or by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or agent thereof; and prior to the receipt of
any such written notice, the Trustee shall, subject to Article 7 of the Base Indenture, be entitled to assume that no such
facts exist; provided that, if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 2.6 at least
two Business Days prior to the date upon which, by the terms of the Indenture, any monies shall become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note), then, notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive any monies from the Company and to apply the same
to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it
on or after such prior date except for an acceleration of the Notes prior to such application. The foregoing shall not apply if
the Paying Agent is the Company. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing
himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of, or agent of, such holder) to establish
that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or agent on behalf of any such holder. In
the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a
holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 2.6 or Article
16 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee
as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 2.6 or Article
16 of the Base Indenture and, if such evidence is not furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee may defer any payment to such
Person pending such evidence being furnished to the Trustee or a judicial determination that such Person has the right to receive
such payment.


(f)                 
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.6 or any other provisions of the Indenture, neither the Trustee
nor any Paying Agent shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event that would prohibit
the making of any payment or moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or such Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness
or from the representative of any such holder.



    	14



    	 



    




(g)                
The Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this Section 2.6 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness
at any time held by it in its individual capacity to the extent set forth in Section 7.04 of the Base Indenture.


(h)                
The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Notes by reason of any provision in this Section 2.06 shall not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of a default or any Event of Default.


(i)                  
Nothing contained in this Section 2.6 shall apply to the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant
to Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture.


(j)                 
The subordination provisions in this Section 2.6 or Article 16 of the Base Indenture do not apply to amounts
due to the Trustee pursuant to other sections of the Indenture, including Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture.


Section
2.7                 
Events of Default; Acceleration. All of the Events of Default set forth
in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture will apply with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, because the Company will treat the Notes as Tier 2 capital (or its then equivalent if the Company were subject
to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board as then in effect and applicable

of Notes.


 


Section
3.2                 
Redemption of Special Events. Other than in the case of an Optional Redemption,
the Notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior to the Maturity Date, except the Company may, at its sole option, redeem the
Notes at any time before the Maturity Date in whole, but not in part, upon or after the occurrence of a Tax Event, a Tier 2 Capital
Event or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C.

of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and any such redemption
may be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent set forth in the applicable notice of redemption. Notwithstanding

Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in minimum amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof; no Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a holder
are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such holder, even if not equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.


 


Section
3.5                 
Notice to Holders. In the case of any redemption, at least 30 days but

on and after the Redemption Date;


(i)                  
if such notice is conditioned upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such conditions precedent;

notice or printed on the Notes.


The
Company may state in the notice of redemption that another Person may make payment of the redemption price and perform its obligations
with respect to redemption or purchase.


At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided,

of redemption is rescinded or delayed and that the redemption subject to the satisfaction of such condition precedent shall not

REVERSE
OF NOTE 


AMALGAMATED
FINANCIAL CORPORATION 


3.250%
FIXED-TO-FLOATING RATE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2031


This Note
is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of a series designated as the “3.250% Fixed-to-Floating Rate
Subordinated Notes Due 2031” (the “Notes”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $85,000,000
on November 8, 2021. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an unsecured indefinite number of
series of subordinated debt securities of the Company issued or issuable under and pursuant to, the Subordinated Indenture (the “Base
Indenture”), dated as of November 8, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called
the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture,
between the Company and the Trustee, dated as of November 8, 2021 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and the Base
Indenture as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and
any other 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 and the Persons in whose names Notes are registered on the Security Register from
time to time and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note shall not be valid until
the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those
stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set
forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with
those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of the Indenture shall govern to the extent such terms, conditions
and other provisions of this Note are not inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.


All capitalized
terms used in this Note and not defined herein that are defined in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture. If any capitalized term used in
this Note and defined herein is also defined in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture, in the event of any conflict
in the meanings ascribed to such capitalized term, the definition of the capitalized term in this Note shall control. To the extent
any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern
and be controlling.


The indebtedness
of the Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof and interest thereon, is, to the extent and in the manner
set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to obligations of the Company constituting
the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions
as provided and set forth in Section 2.06 of the First Supplemental Indenture and shall rank pari passu in right
of payment with all other Notes and with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of the Company issued under the Indenture
and not by its terms subordinate and junior in right of payment to the promissory notes, bonds, debentures or other evidences
of indebtedness of a type that includes the Notes. Each holder by his acceptance of this Note, agrees to and shall be bound by
such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on such holder’s behalf to take such actions
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in the Indenture.


During
the Fixed Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. During the
Floating Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Dollar amounts
resulting from those calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.


If
any Fixed Period Interest Payment Date for the Note or the date for the payment of principal for the Note occurring during
the Fixed Rate Period falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will postpone the interest or principal payment
to 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 the Note will not be entitled to any further interest, principal or other payments
with respect to such postponements. If any Floating Period Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is
not a Business Day, the Company will postpone the interest payment or the payment of principal and interest at the Maturity
Date to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to the Maturity Date, no additional interest will accrue on the
amount payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date), unless, with respect to a Floating Period Interest Payment
Date only, such day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Floating Period Interest Payment Date will instead be
the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day, and interest will accrue to, but excluding, such Floating Period
Interest Payment Date as so adjusted.



    	 



    	 



    




The Notes
are intended to be treated as Tier 2 capital (or its then equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement)
for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board as then in effect and applicable to the Company. If an
Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Notes shall only become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article 6 of the Base
Indenture and Section 2.07 of the First Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, the holder of this Note has no right to
accelerate the maturity of this Note in the event the Company fails to pay interest on any of the Notes or fails to perform any
other obligations under the Notes or in the Indenture that are applicable to the Notes.


The Notes
may be redeemed by the Company as set forth in the Indenture.


The Notes
are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. The Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any equity securities,
other securities or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.

14.02, 14.03, 14.04 and 14.05 of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.


The Notes
are issuable and may be transferred only in fully registered form without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount
in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000.


The Company
and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.


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 interest (if any) on this Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.


This
Security is a global note, represented by one or more permanent global certificates registered in the name of the nominee of The
Depositary Trust Company (each a “Global Note” and collectively, the “Global Notes”). Accordingly, unless
and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for individual certificates evidencing the Notes represented hereby, this Security
may not be transferred except as a whole by The Depositary Trust Company (the “Depositary”) to a nominee of such Depositary
or by a nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any nominee to a successor Depositary or any nominee of such successor.
Ownership of beneficial interests in this Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only
through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interest of Persons that have accounts
with the Depositary (“Participants”) and the records of Participants (with respect to interests of Persons other than
Participants)). Beneficial interests in Notes owned by Persons that hold through Participants will be evidenced only by, and transfers
of such beneficial interests with such Participants will be effected only through, records maintained by such Participants. Except
as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in this Security will not be entitled to have any individual certificates and
will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture. 


Except
in the limited circumstances set forth in Section 2.07 of the Base Indenture, Participants and owners of beneficial interests
in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Securities in definitive form and will not be considered holders of Notes.
None of the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee or any direct
or indirect participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the related Notes. The Company and the Paying Agent may conclusively
rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes, including with
respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Notes to be issued. 


Except
as provided in Section 2.07 of the Base Indenture, beneficial owners of Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical
delivery of Notes in definitive form and no Global Note will be exchangeable except for another Global Note of like denomination
and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Accordingly, each Person owning a beneficial interest
in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Person is not a Participant, on the procedures of
the Participant through which such Person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Notes. 



    	 



    	 



    




The
laws of some jurisdictions may require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive
form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Notes represented by a Global Note to those Persons may be limited.
In addition, because the Depositary can act only on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of Persons who hold
interests through Participants, the ability of a Person having an interest in Notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or
transfer such interest to Persons that do not participate in the Depositary’s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect
of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest. None of the Company,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of Notes by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of
the Depositary relating to the Notes. 


U.S. Bank
National Association will act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to the Notes through its offices presently located at
U.S. Bank National Association, 333 Commerce Street, Suite 800, Nashville, Tennessee 37201, Attention: Wally Jones, CCTP, Vice President,
U.S. Bank Global Corporate Trust, Telephone: (615) 251-0733. The Company may at any time rescind the designation of a Paying Agent,
appoint a successor Paying Agent, or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts.


Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=
tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian),
and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).


Pursuant
to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused the CUSIP
number for the Series of Securities of which the Notes are a part to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the holders of
the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only
on the other identification numbers printed hereon.


THIS
NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
