 Section 1.3 Initial Limit on Amount of Series. The Notes shall initially be limited to U.S.$700,000,000 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

 CUSIP NO. 7591EP AF7 
 ISIN NO. US7591EPAF73 
 REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a corporation duly
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
            , or its registered assigns, the principal sum of             dollars (U.S
$            ) [IF A GLOBAL SECURITY INSERT:, as revised by the Schedule of Adjustments attached hereto,] on November 10, 2014 and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on
November 10, 2014, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day. The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from and including November 10, 2009, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as
defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on May 10 and November 10 in each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing May 10, 2010 at the rate of 7.75% per
annum, computed for any full semiannual period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and computed for any partial semiannual period on the actual days elapsed during such period, until the principal hereof is due, and at the rate of
7.75% per annum on any overdue principal amounts, and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest. 
 The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the immediately preceding April 27 or October 27 as the case may be, of each year (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on the Outstanding Notes payable at maturity will

either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall
be given to Holders of Securities not less than 10 days prior to the Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any automated quotation system or securities exchange on which the
Notes may be quoted or listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 
 Payments of principal shall be made upon the surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York or in the City of Birmingham, Alabama, in such coin or currency of the United States of

instructions not later than the relevant Record Date, by transfer to a Dollar account.

and in the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF THE NOTE] 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior debt securities of the Company designated as its “7.75% Senior Notes due
2014” (the “Notes”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $700,000,000, issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of August 8, 2005 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company
and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 10, 2009
between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Trustee upon such surrender by the Holder will issue the new Notes in the requested denominations. 
 No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option
of the Holder prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes. 
 The Notes are unsecured and rank equally among themselves and with
all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. 
 The Notes are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company may, without
consent of the holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional securities in the future on the same terms and conditions as the Notes, except for any difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to
the date of issuance of the additional securities, and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes. The Notes and any additional Notes issued by the Company would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series for all purposes under
the Indenture. 
 In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note at any Place of
Payment, as the case may be, is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the
date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date. 
 If an Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 501(4) of the Base Indenture relating to a breach of the covenant contained in clause (x) of the second

  

 A-5 








 
paragraph of Section 1009 of the Base Indenture) shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the written consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf
of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding
with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have
received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or interest on this Note or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note 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 on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 The Notes will be subject to defeasance and covenant defeasance pursuant to Sections 1402 and 1403 of the Base Indenture. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or the City of Birmingham, Alabama (which shall
initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or

  

 A-6 








 
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees by the Security Registrar. 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 recover any tax or other governmental charge payable
in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentation 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 Note is registered, as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note and no recourse
under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator,
stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 THE INDENTURE AND THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 All capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.
