the next succeeding date on which payment under the Notes is due, Additional Amounts; or

action has been taken by any taxing authority of, or any decision has been rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in, Canada or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including any of those actions specified in the

Definition of Capital, effective December 2016, as such term may be amended or superseded by OSFI from time to time, which term currently provides that each of the following constitutes a Trigger Event: 

(1)    the Superintendent publicly announces that the Bank has been advised, in writing, that the Superintendent is of the
opinion that the Bank has ceased, or is about to cease, to be viable and that, after the conversion of the Notes and all other contingent instruments issued by the Bank and taking into account any other factors or circumstances that are considered
relevant or appropriate, it is reasonably likely that the viability of the Bank will be restored or maintained; or 

(2)    a federal or provincial government in Canada publicly announces that the Bank has accepted or agreed to accept a
capital injection, or equivalent support, from the federal government or any provincial government or political subdivision or agent or agency thereof without which the Bank would have been determined by the Superintendent to be non-viable.

of and govern this First Supplemental Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter
provision shall be deemed to apply to this First Supplemental Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 106.    Separability Clause. 

In case any provision in this First Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

for the first sentence of Section 301(b) and Article Fifteen of the Base Indenture and Article Seven of this First Supplemental Indenture, which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the

name that Note is registered on the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, provided that principal of, the Redemption Price, if any, of and interest on the Notes represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of

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 Bank or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

Section 205.    Interest. 

The Notes shall bear interest on their principal amount (i) from and including the Issue Date to, but excluding, the Reset Date, at a rate

payment to the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall be paid in respect of the delay).

Section 206.    Satisfaction and Discharge.

from such trust, as provided in Section 1003 of the Base Indenture) have been delivered to a Trustee for cancellation; (b) the Bank has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Bank; and (c) the Bank has
delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the obligations of the Bank to the Trustee under Section 607 of the Base
Indenture shall survive.

 Section 210.    Amendments. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the Bank shall not, without the prior written approval of the

ARTICLE THREE 
 FORM OF NOTES 

Section 301.    Form of Notes. 

The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon are to be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto,
with such changes therein as the officer of the Bank executing the Notes (by manual or facsimile signature) may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof. 

ARTICLE FOUR 
 ISSUE OF NOTES 

Section 401.    Original Issue of Notes. 

Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000 may from time to time, upon execution of this First Supplemental Indenture, be
executed by the Bank and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and upon Bank Order the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes in accordance with a Bank Order pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture without any
further action by the Bank (other than as required by the Base Indenture). 
 Section 402.    Additional Issues of Notes.

 The Bank may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes, which Notes shall
rank pari passu with the Notes and be identical in all respects as the Notes previously issued (other than issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first interest payment date and the initial interest accrual date) in order that such
additional Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional Notes and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes. Such additional Notes may
have the same or different CUSIP numbers than the Notes issued on the date hereof or no CUSIP number, as the case may be.

 ARTICLE FIVE 

REMEDIES 

Section 501.    Events of Default. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Base Indenture, and for greater certainty, none of (i) a default in the payment of interest on
the Notes, (ii) a default in the performance of any other covenant of the Bank in the Indenture or (iii) the occurrence of an NVCC Automatic Conversion shall constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes. 

Section 502.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

The first paragraph of Section 502 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the following for purposes of the Notes: At any time prior
to a Trigger Event, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion, and shall upon receipt of a written request of Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all Outstanding Notes, declare
the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Bank. 

Section 503.    Bank Act Limitation on Payment. 

If any provisions contained, from time to time, in the Bank Act or in any rules, regulations, orders or guidelines passed pursuant thereto or
in connection therewith or guidelines issued by the Superintendent in relation thereto shall limit the right of the Bank to pay the Securities on or before a date prescribed by such provisions (“Early Payment Restrictions”),
Sections 501, 502, 503, 507 and 508 of the Base Indenture shall be subject to such Early Payment Restrictions; provided that so long as any Early Payment Restriction shall be applicable to any Securities, the Trustee shall take such action,
as shall not be precluded by the Early Payment Restrictions and as it shall be directed to take by the Holders pursuant to Section 512 of the Base Indenture, to preserve and protect the interests of Holders of Securities then Outstanding to
which the Early Payment Restrictions are applicable and to obtain or collect all amounts to which they may be entitled and to distribute the same to them at the earliest time permitted by the Early Payment Restrictions, such action to include,
without limitation, the filing and proving of claims with respect to the Securities then outstanding to which the Early Payment Restrictions are applicable in any insolvency or winding up proceedings relating to the Bank and the enforcement of such
claims on behalf of the Holders of such Securities. The Bank shall, following any such Early Payment Restriction taking effect, promptly notify the Trustee thereof in writing. 

ARTICLE SIX 
 COVENANTS 

Section 601.    Additional Amounts. 

(a)    All payments made by the Bank under or with respect to the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without
withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future 

  
 11 








 
tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of
Canada or any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (“Canadian Taxes”), unless the Bank is required to withhold or deduct Canadian Taxes by law or by the interpretation or
administration thereof. If the Bank is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Canadian Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Bank shall pay to each Holder as additional interest such
Additional Amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each such Holder after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any Canadian Taxes on such Additional Amounts) shall not be
less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Canadian Taxes had not been withheld or deducted, except as described below. The Bank shall, if any Additional Amounts shall become payable, promptly notify the Trustee thereof in writing.
However, no Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder in respect of the beneficial owner thereof: 

(i)    with which the Bank does not deal at arm’s-length (for
the purposes of the Income Tax Act at the time of the making of such payment; 
 (ii)    which is a
“specified non-resident shareholder” of the Bank for purposes of the Tax Act or a non-resident person not dealing at
arm’s-length with a “specified shareholder” (within the meaning of subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act) of the Bank; 

(iii)    which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the holder being a resident, domiciliary or
national of, engaged in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or other physical presence in or otherwise having some connection with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise than by the mere holding of the Notes or the
receipt of payments thereunder; 
 (iv)    which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the
holder’s failure to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from,
or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Canadian Taxes (provided that the Bank advises the Trustee and the Holders of such Notes then Outstanding of any change in such requirements); 

(v)    with respect to any Note presented for payment more than 30 days after the later of (x) the
date payment is due and (y) the date on which funds are made available for payment, except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting same for payment on or before such thirtieth day;

 (vi)    with respect to any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar
tax or other governmental charge; or 

  
 12 








 (vii)    which is a fiduciary or partnership or person other
than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that the Canadian Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such holder been the sole beneficial owner of such Notes. 

(b)    The Bank shall also make such withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c)    The Bank shall furnish to the Holders of the relevant
Notes, within 60 days after the date the payment of any Canadian Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or other documents evidencing such payment. 

(d)    In any event, no Additional Amounts shall be payable under the provisions described above in respect of any Note in
excess of the Additional Amounts which would be required if, at all relevant times, the beneficial owner of such Note were a resident of the United States for purposes of, and was entitled to the benefits of the
Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended, including any protocols thereto. As a result of the limitation on the payment of Additional Amounts discussed in the preceding sentence of this
Section 601(d), the Additional Amounts received by certain Holders in respect of beneficial owners of the Notes may be less than the amount of Canadian Taxes withheld or deducted and, accordingly, the net amount received by such Holders of
those Notes shall be less than the amount such Holders would have received had there been no such withholding or deduction in respect of Canadian taxes. 

(e)    Wherever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, or any premium or interest
or any other amount payable under or with respect to a Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable as set forth in
this Section 601. 
 (f)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 601, all payments shall be made net
of any deduction or withholding imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code,
or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental
agreement) (any such withholding, a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and no Additional Amounts shall be payable as a result of any such FATCA Withholding Tax. 

ARTICLE SEVEN 
 CONVERSION INTO
COMMON SHARES UPON A TRIGGER EVENT 
 Section 701.    NVCC Automatic Conversion.  

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, each outstanding Note shall automatically and immediately be converted, on a full and permanent basis,
without any action on the part of, or the consent of, the Holders of Notes, and as of the start of business on the date on which the Trigger 

  
 13 








 
Event occurs, into fully-paid and non-assessable Common Shares, in accordance with this Article Seven (an “NVCC Automatic Conversion”).

 Section 702.    Conversion Rate. 

The number of Common Shares into which each Note is convertible at the time of an NVCC Automatic Conversion shall be equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (a) the product of the Multiplier and the Note Value, by (b) Conversion Price. 

Section 703.    Time of NVCC Automatic Conversion. 

An NVCC Automatic Conversion is deemed to be effected immediately following a Trigger Event and the rights of the Holder of such Notes as the
holder thereof shall cease at such time and the person or persons entitled to receive Common Shares upon an NVCC Automatic Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as having become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares at such
time. 
 Subject to Section 704, as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Bank shall announce the NVCC
Automatic Conversion by way of a press release and shall give notice of the NVCC Automatic Conversion in accordance with the provisions of Section 106 of the Base Indenture to the then Holders of Notes and the Trustee. As promptly as
practicable after the NVCC Automatic Conversion, the Bank shall deliver or cause to be delivered certificates representing Common Shares registered in the name of the Holders of Notes, or as such Holder shall have directed, on presentation and
surrender of the Global Note in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or Notes in certificated form, as the case may be, at the Corporate Trust Office. From and after the NVCC Automatic Conversion, the Notes shall cease to be
Outstanding, the Holders thereof shall cease to be entitled to interest thereon, and any certificates representing the Notes shall represent only the right to receive upon surrender thereof certificates representing the applicable number of Common
Shares specified in Section 702. An NVCC Automatic Conversion shall be mandatory and binding upon both the Bank and all Holders of the Notes notwithstanding anything else including, without limitation: (a) any prior action to or in
furtherance of a redemption of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture; and (b) any delay or impediment to the issuance or delivery of the Common Shares to the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 704.    Right Not to Deliver Common Shares. 

Upon an NVCC Automatic Conversion, the Bank reserves the right not to deliver some or all, as applicable, of the Common Shares issuable
thereupon to any Person whom the Bank has reason to believe is an Ineligible Person. In such circumstances, the Bank shall hold, as agent of all Ineligible Persons, all Common Shares otherwise deliverable to the Ineligible Persons and shall attempt
to facilitate the sale of such Common Shares to parties other than the Bank and its Affiliates on behalf of such Ineligible Persons through a registered dealer to be retained by the Bank on behalf of such Ineligible Persons. Those sales (if any) may
be made at any time and at any price. The Bank shall not be subject to any liability for failure to sell such Common Shares on behalf of the Ineligible Persons or at any particular price on any particular day. The net proceeds received by the Bank
from the sale of any such Common Shares shall be divided 

  
 14 








 
among the Ineligible Persons in proportion to the number of Common Shares that would otherwise have been delivered to them upon the NVCC Automatic Conversion after deducting the costs of sale and
any applicable withholding taxes. The Bank shall deliver a check or send a wire transfer in immediately available funds representing the aggregate net proceeds to DTC (if the Common Shares are then held in the form or one or more global securities)
or in all other cases to such Ineligible Persons in accordance with the regular practices and procedures of DTC or otherwise. 
 Upon an
NVCC Automatic Conversion, the Bank reserves the right not to deliver some or all, as applicable, of the Common Shares to any Person who, by virtue of the operation of the NVCC Automatic Conversion, would become a Significant Shareholder. In such
circumstances, the Bank shall hold, as agent of that Person, the Threshold Number of Common Shares otherwise deliverable to such Person, and the Bank shall attempt to facilitate the sale of such Common Shares to parties other than the Bank and its
Affiliates on behalf of that Person through a registered dealer to be retained by the Bank on behalf of such Person. Those sales (if any) may be made at any time and at any price. The Bank shall not be subject to any liability for failure to sell
any such Common Shares on behalf of that Person or at any particular price on any particular day. The net proceeds received by the Bank from the sale of any such Common Shares shall be delivered to that Person, after deducting the costs of sale and
any applicable withholding taxes. The Bank shall deliver a check or send a wire transfer in immediately available funds representing the aggregate net proceeds to DTC (if the Common Shares are then held in the form of one or more global securities)
or in all other cases to such Persons in accordance with the regular practices and procedures of DTC or otherwise. 

Section 705.    No Entitlement to Interest Following an NVCC Automatic Conversion  

Upon an NVCC Automatic Conversion, any accrued and unpaid interest, together with the principal amount of the Notes, shall be deemed paid in
full by the issuance of Common Shares upon such conversion and the Holders of Notes shall have no further rights and the Bank shall have no further obligations under the Indenture. If tax is required to be withheld from such payment of interest in
the form of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares received by a Holder of Notes shall reflect an amount net of any applicable withholding tax. 

Section 706.    Fractional Shares. 

In any case where the aggregate number of Common Shares to be issued to a Holder of Notes pursuant to an NVCC Automatic Conversion includes a
fraction of a Common Share, such number of Common Shares to be issued to such Holder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares and no cash payment shall be made in lieu of such fractional Common Share. 

Section 707.    Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes in the Common Shares. 

In the event of a capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Bank or comparable transaction affecting the Common
Shares, the Bank shall take necessary action to ensure that Holders of Notes receive, pursuant to an NVCC Automatic Conversion, the 

  
 15 








 
number of Common Shares or other securities that such Holders would have received if the NVCC Automatic Conversion occurred immediately prior to the record date for such event. 

Section 708.    Adjustments. 

(a)    Upon a Common Share Reorganization, the Floor Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Floor Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date of such event by a fraction: 

(i)    the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date
or record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization; and 
 (ii)    the denominator
of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the
number, without duplication, of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date). 

The adjustment shall be calculated to the nearest one-tenth of one cent provided that no adjustment of
the Floor Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Floor Price then in effect; provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then
to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to at least 1% of the Floor Price. 

(b)    In any case in which Section 707 or this Section 708 requires that an adjustment shall become effective
immediately after a record date for an event referred to therein or herein, the Bank may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holders of any Notes upon a NVCC Automatic Conversion occurring after such record date and before the
occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that the Bank shall deliver to such Holder evidence of such Holder’s right
to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of such event and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions made on such additional Common Shares declared in favor of Holders of record of Common Shares on and after the
date of the NVCC Automatic Conversion or such later date on which such Holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 708, have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares. 

(c)    If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 707 or this
Section 708, such dispute shall be conclusively determined, subject to the consent if required, of the Toronto Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed, by the Bank’s Auditors, or if they are
unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action of the Board of Directors of the Bank and any such determination shall be binding upon the Bank, the Holders of


  
 16 








 
the Notes and the other shareholders of the Bank. Such auditors or accountants shall be given access to all necessary records of the Bank. 

(d)    If the Bank sets a record date to take any other action and thereafter and before the taking of any action, the
Bank abandons its plan to take such other action, then no adjustment in the Floor Price shall be made. 
 (e)    The
Bank shall from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event that requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 707 or this Section 708, deliver an Officer’s Certificate of the Bank to the Trustee
specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to act and rely upon such Officer’s Certificate of the Bank. Such Officer’s Certificate of the Bank and the amount of the adjustment specified therein shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest.
Until such Officer’s Certificate of the Bank is received by the Trustee, the Trustee may act and be protected in acting on the presumption that no adjustment has been made or is required. Except in respect of any Common Share Reorganization,
the Bank shall forthwith give notice to the Holders of the Notes specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the amount thereof, including the resulting Floor Price. 

Section 709.    General. 

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the conversion of the Notes in connection with an
NVCC Automatic Conversion shall not be an Event of Default and the only consequence of a Trigger Event shall be the conversion of such Notes into Common Shares. 

(b)    The Trustee shall have no duty to determine the occurrence of an NVCC Automatic Conversion or any calculations in
connection with any such NVCC Automatic Conversion. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon an NVCC Automatic Conversion, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Bank’s
failure to comply with any provisions of this Article Seven. 
 Section 710.    Agreements of Holders and Beneficial Owners of
Notes. 
 By acquiring any Note, each Holder and beneficial owner of such Note or any interest therein, including any person acquiring
any such Note or interest therein after the date hereof, shall be deemed to have irrevocably acknowledged and agreed with and for the benefit of the Bank and the Trustee as follows: 

(a)    that a NVCC Automatic Conversion upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event shall not constitute an Event of Default
under the terms of the Notes or the Indenture, and following a NVCC Automatic Conversion no Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes shall have any rights against the Bank with respect to the repayment of the principal of, or interest on, the Notes;

 (b)    that, upon a NVCC Automatic Conversion, (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further
directions from Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes under the Indenture 

  
 17 








 
and (ii) the Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to conversion of the Notes into Common Shares upon a Trigger Event; 

(c)    that such Holder or beneficial owner authorizes, directs and requests DTC and any direct participant in DTC or
other intermediary through which it holds such Notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the conversion of the Notes into Common Shares upon a Trigger Event without any further action or direction on the part of such
Holder or such beneficial owner or the Trustee; and 
 (d)    that such Holder or beneficial owner acknowledges and
agrees that all authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by any Holder and beneficial owner pursuant to the provisions described above shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and
legal representatives of each Holder and beneficial owner of a Note or any interest therein.

“Reset Date”), at a rate of 3.803% per annum and (ii) from and including the Reset Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date at a rate per annum which shall be 1.432% above the 5-Year Mid-Swap Rate. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in such 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 June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Bank shall postpone the making of such interest or principal payment to the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall be paid in respect
of the delay). Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in said Indenture. A “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or executive order to close in The City of New York,
New York or Toronto, Ontario. 
 Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security shall be made at the office or agency of the Bank
maintained for that purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided that payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities
represented by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee shall be payable in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such Global Security. 

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 a
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. The signature of the executing officer of the Bank on this Security may
be manual or by facsimile.

 (REVERSE OF SECURITY) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Bank (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of December 12, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (herein called the “Trustee”, which terms include
any successor trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 12, 2017, among the Bank and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with
the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Bank, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,250,000,000, provided the
Bank may, without the consent of any Holder, at any time and from time to time, increase the initial principal amount. 
 The Securities are
the Bank’s direct unsecured obligations, constituting subordinated indebtedness for the purpose of the Bank Act. 
 The indebtedness
evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with
respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his, her or its behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee as his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder
hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed
or guaranteed, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 
 Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, each outstanding
Security shall automatically and immediately be converted, on a full and permanent basis, without the consent of the Holders thereof, into that number of fully-paid Common Shares of the Bank determined by dividing (a) the product of the
Multiplier and the Note Value, by (b) the Conversion Price. 
 The Bank may, at its option, redeem the Notes with the prior written
approval of the Superintendent, in whole but not in part, on not less than 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Event Date, at a Redemption Price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Bank may, at its option, redeem the Notes, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent, in whole but not in part,
on not less than 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, at any time following the occurrence of a Tax Event, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Bank may, at its option, redeem the Notes, with the prior written approval of the Superintendent, in whole but not in part, on not less than 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’
prior notice to the 

  
 4 








 
Holders of the Notes, on the Reset Date, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series
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 Bank and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Bank and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected, or in certain cases the unanimous consent of each of such Holders. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Bank with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security
and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security 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 with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default
as Trustee and offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a
direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 90 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Bank,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

For disclosure purposes under the Interest Act (Canada), whenever in the Securities of this series or the Indenture interest at a
specified rate is to be calculated on the basis of a period less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the
number of days in such period. 

  
 5 








 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Bank in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities
of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 Any Holder who transfers any Security shall provide or cause to be
provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The
Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. 
 No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Bank and the Trustee 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 Bank, the Trustee and any agent of the Bank 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 Bank, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

All terms used in this Security not otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.
