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 original issue date of the Notes, there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest payable by the Company on the Notes is not, or, within 90
days of the date of such opinion, will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes. 

“Three-month LIBOR” means, as determined by the Calculation Agent on the second London Banking Day immediately preceding the
commencement of the applicable Floating Rate Period (the “determination date”) and provided to the Trustee in writing (if the Trustee is not the Calculation Agent), the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of
three months that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such determination date. If such rate does not appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at such time, then the Company will request the principal London office of
each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, selected by the Company, to provide such bank’s offered quotation to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S. dollars with a term of three months as of
11:00 a.m., London time, on such determination date and in a principal amount equal to an amount that, in the judgment of the Company, is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in the relevant market at the relevant time (a
“representative amount”). If at least two such quotations are so provided, Three-month LIBOR for such Floating Rate Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Company will
request each of three major banks in the City of New York to provide such bank’s rate for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks with a term of three months as of approximately 11:00 a.m., the City of New York time, on such
determination date and in a representative amount. If at least two such rates are so provided, Three-month LIBOR for such Floating Rate Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then
Three-month LIBOR for such Floating Rate Period will be set to equal the Three-month LIBOR for the then current Floating Rate Period or, in the case of the first Floating Rate Period, 1.155%. 

“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 amendment or 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 original issue date 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, as then in effect and applicable to the Company.

represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. The Company will make payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Global Notes to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of the
Notes. The principal of any Notes in the form of Individual Securities will be payable at the place of payment set forth below.

more fully registered Global Securities (each such Global Security, 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 officer of the

Section 2.5. Interest. 

(a) Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, if any, with respect to the Notes shall be
the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date of Notes if no interest has previously
been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, if any, as the case may be. 

(b) (i) From, and including, the original issue date of the Notes to, but excluding, September 30, 2021, unless
redeemed prior to such date pursuant to Article 3 hereof, the Notes will bear interest at the annual rate of 5.125%, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and payable semi-annually in arrears on each
March 31 and September 30, beginning on March 31, 2017 and ending on September 30, 2021 (each such payment date, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date,” with the period from, and including, the original issue date
of the Notes to, but excluding, the first Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date and each successive period from, and including, a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being a “Fixed Rate
Period”). In the event that any scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date). 

(ii) From, and including September 30, 2021 to, but excluding, the Stated Maturity Date, unless redeemed subsequent to
September 30, 2021 but prior to the Stated Maturity Date pursuant to Article 3 hereof, the Notes will bear interest at an annual rate equal to Three-month LIBOR, reset quarterly, plus 397 basis points (3.97%), payable quarterly in arrears on
each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning on December 31, 2021 (each such payment date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date,” and, together with the Fixed Rate Interest
Payment Dates, collectively the “Interest Payment Dates,” with the period from, and including, September 30, 2021 to, but excluding, the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date and each successive period from, and including,
a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being a “Floating Rate Period”). Interest payable on the Notes for a Floating Rate Period shall be computed on the basis of a
360-

  
 -8- 








 
day year and the actual number of days in such Floating Rate Period. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of Three-month LIBOR shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Calculation Agent) in writing of the interest rate for each Floating Rate Period on the
applicable determination date. In the event that any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be
postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding day that is a Business
Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to, but excluding, such Business Day. 

(c) Interest due on the Stated Maturity Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of the Notes will be paid to the Person to whom
principal of the Notes is payable, subject to DTC’s applicable procedures. 
 Section 2.6. Subordination. 

(a) Except as otherwise specified, the Company agrees, and each Holder of the Notes by accepting the Notes agrees, that the indebtedness
evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 2.6, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness. 
 (b) In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation,
reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company: 

(i) holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the principal thereof, premium, if
any, additional amounts owing in respect thereof, if any, and interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of any such proceeding) to the date of payment on the Senior Indebtedness before Holders shall be entitled to receive any
payment of principal of or interest on Notes; 
 (ii) until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, any indebtedness
to which Holders of the Notes or the Trustee would be entitled but for this Section 2.6 shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear for the application to the payment thereof, except that Holders of the Notes
may receive securities that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as the Notes; and 
 (iii)
the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely upon an order or decree 

  
 -9- 








 
of a court of competent jurisdiction or a certificate of a bankruptcy trustee or other similar official for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other Company debt, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other pertinent facts relating to the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 2.6. 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any of the Notes shall have received any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including by way of set-off or any such payment or distribution which 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, before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full or payment thereof provided for, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been
made known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in writing or, as the case may be, such Holder of the Notes, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior
Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Any taxes that have been withheld or deducted from any payment or distribution in respect of the Notes, or any taxes
that ought to have been withheld or deducted from any such payment or distribution that have been remitted to the relevant taxing authority, shall not be considered to be an amount that the Trustee or the Holder of any of the Notes receives for
purposes of this Section. 
 (c) The Company may not pay principal, premium, interest or additional amounts owing with respect to the Notes
and may not acquire any Notes for cash or property other than capital stock of the Company if: 
 (i)(A) in the event and
during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period with respect thereto or (B) a default on Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing
that permits holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on their behalf) to accelerate its maturity, or 
 (ii) the
default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Company receives a notice of the default from a person who may give it pursuant to Section 2.6(l) hereof. 

The Company may resume payments on the Notes and may acquire them when: 

(i) the default is cured or waiver; or 

(ii) if this Section 2.6 otherwise permits the payments or acquisition at that time. 

(d) In the event that any Notes are declared due and payable before their Stated Maturity Date, then and in such event the holders of Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled 

  
 -10- 








 
to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness or provision shall be made for such payment in cash, before the Holders of the Notes are
entitled to receive any payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes) by the Company on account of the principal of, premium, if
any, additional amounts owing in respect thereof, if any or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Notes; provided, that any money deposited pursuant to Article IV of the Base Indenture not in violation of the
Indenture shall not be subject to the claims of holders of Senior Indebtedness. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make
any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Note prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in writing or,
as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company. 
 (e) If
payment or distribution on account of the Notes of any character or security, whether in cash, securities or other property, is received by Holder, including any applicable Trustee, in contravention of any of the terms of this Section 2.6 and
before all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full, such payment or distribution or security will be received in trust for the benefit of, and must be paid over or delivered and transferred to, holders of Senior Indebtedness at the time
outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among those holders of Senior Indebtedness for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full. 

(f) The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, and any Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a
payment on the Notes to violate this Section 2.6. 
 (g) After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in
full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the
payment of Senior Indebtedness. A payment or distribution made under this Section 2.6 to holders of Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and Holders, a payment or distribution by the Company on account of the Senior Indebtedness. 
 (h) This Section 2.6 is
intended solely to define the relative rights of Holders on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing in the Indenture or in the Notes shall: 

(i) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Notes, the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Notes the principal of, premium, if any, additional amounts in respect thereof, if any, and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms; 

  
 -11- 








 (ii) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other
than holders of Senior Indebtedness; or 
 (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies
upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions otherwise payable to Holders or the Trustee. 

If the Company fails because of this Section 2.6 to pay principal, premium, if any, additional amounts in respect thereof, if any, or interest on any of
the Notes on the due date, such failure shall constitute a default hereunder. 
 (i) No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce
the subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with the Indenture. 

(j) Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice
given to their Representative. 
 (k) The Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes until it receives written
notice of facts that would cause a payment of principal of or interest on the Notes to violate this Section 2.6. Only the Company, a Representative or a holder of an issue of Senior Indebtedness that has no Representative may give the written
notice. 
 The Trustee has no fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness other than as created under this Indenture. The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company’s obligation to pay, and the Company’s payment of, the amounts required by Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture are excluded from the operation of this Section 2.6. For the sake of clarity, such payments are
not subordinated to the Company’s Senior Indebtedness. 
 (l) Nothing contained in this Section 2.6 or elsewhere in the Indenture
or in any of the Notes shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and
liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 2.6(b) hereof or under the conditions described in Section 2.6(c) or 2.6(d) hereof, from making payments at any time of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, additional
amounts owing in respect thereof, if any or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of the Notes, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of
the principal of, premium, if any, additional amounts owing in respect thereof, if any, or interest on the Notes or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge (in
accordance with Section 2.6(f) hereof) that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Section 2.6. 

  
 -12- 








 (m) Each Holder of a Note by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Section 2.6 and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

(n) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Section 2.6, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture, and the Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation,
reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such
payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Notes, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the
Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 2.6. 

(o) In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
“Trustee” as used in this Section 2.6 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying
Agent were named in this Section 2.6 in addition to or in place of the Trustee. 
 Section 2.7. Events of Default;
Acceleration. Neither the Trustee nor the Holders of the Notes shall have the right to accelerate the maturity of the Notes unless there is an Event of Default specified under clause (e) or (f) of Section 5.01 of the Base
Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture occurs, then the principal amount of all of the Outstanding Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and
premium, if any, shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture. 

Section 2.8. No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. 

Section 2.9. No Conversion or Exchange Rights. The Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or
property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. 
 Section 2.10. Defeasance; No Covenant Defeasance. Section 4.02
of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes. Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.

Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date fixed by the Company; provided
that, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of such accrued and unpaid interest paid as a part of the Redemption Price shall satisfy in full the obligation of the Company to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed from and including
the most recent Interest Payment Date on which all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes was paid or provided for to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Any partial redemption will be made in accordance with the Base Indenture. The

Section 3.2. Redemption Upon Special Events. The Company may also, at its option, redeem the Notes before the Stated Maturity Date
in whole, but not in part, at any time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or a 1940 Act Event. Any such redemption will be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date fixed by the Company; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of such accrued and unpaid interest paid as a part of the Redemption Price shall satisfy in full the
obligation of the Company to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date on which all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes was paid or provided for through, but excluding, the
Redemption Date. The Company’s election to redeem any Notes shall be provided to the Trustee in the form of an Officers’ Certificate at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee.
If any conditions precedent to such optional redemption have not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and each Holder of the Notes prior to the close of business prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company in
the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible to satisfy any such conditions
precedent, including making a deposit of money required to effectuate the redemption. 
 Section 3.3. Redemption Approval. No
redemption of the Notes by the Company prior to the Stated Maturity Date pursuant to this Article 3 shall be made without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board if such prior approval is or will be required at the scheduled Redemption Date.
To the extent that the approval of the Federal Reserve Board is required for the Company’s redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Article 3, the Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to determine whether such approval is required or
any duty or obligation to obtain such approval. Prior to the delivery of the notice of redemption to the Holders of the Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating (i) whether or not the approval of the
Federal Reserve Board is required for the Company’s redemption of the Notes and (ii) if such approval is required, whether or not such approval has been obtained by the Company. 

Section 3.4. Redemption Procedures. Notice of redemption must be provided to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed not less than
30 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable Redemption Date. The provisions of Article XI of the Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Article 3.

Increases or Decreases in Note attached hereto) on September 30, 2026 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Stated Maturity Date”), unless redeemed prior to such date, and to pay interest thereon (i) from, and
including, September 30, 2016, to, but excluding, September 30, 2021 or any early redemption date, at a rate of 5.125% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30 of each year, commencing March 31,
2017 (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date,” with the period from, and including, September 30, 2016 to, but excluding, the first Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date and each successive period from, and including, a
Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being a “Fixed Rate Period”) and (ii) from, and including, September 30, 2021 to, but excluding, the Stated Maturity Date or any

December 31, 2021 through the Stated Maturity Date or earlier redemption date (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date,” and together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, the “Interest Payment Dates,” with
the period from, and including, September 30, 2021 to, but excluding, the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date and each successive period from, and including a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Floating Rate

Fixed Rate Interest Payment date on this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined in the Indenture), then payment of interest payable on such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day and no additional interest shall accrue. Interest payable on this Note during any Floating Rate Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in such Floating Rate Period. All percentages used in

so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Fixed Rate Interest Record
Date for such interest, which shall be the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, through September 30, 2021, and thereafter, on

 REVERSE OF NOTE 

LAKELAND BANCORP, INC. 
 5.125%
Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 30, 2026 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the
Company of a series designated as the “5.125% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 30, 2026” (herein called the “Notes”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 on
September 30, 2016. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of subordinated debt securities of the Company issued or issuable under and pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of
September 30, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), 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 September 30, 2016 (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 from time to time and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 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 (the “Trust Indenture Act”), 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 this Note shall govern to the extent that 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. 
 All capitalized terms used in
this Note and not defined herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. To the extent that any capitalized term used in this Note and defined herein is also defined in the Indenture but conflicts
with the definition provided in the Indenture, the definition of the capitalized term in this Note shall control. 
 The indebtedness of the
Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest thereon, is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date hereof or hereafter incurred, and on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Securities
and with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of the Company and not by its terms subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of types that include
the Notes. Each Holder of this Note, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the subordination so provided. 

  
 -24- 








 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 Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies) (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 interest owed on the Notes shall only become due and payable in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in Sections 5.01(e) and (f) of the Base Indenture and Section 2.7 of the First Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, the Holder of this Note has no right to accelerate the maturity of this Note in the event
that 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 Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on any Interest Payment Date on or after September 30, 2021. The
Company may also, at its option, redeem the Notes before the Stated Maturity Date, in whole, but not in part, at any time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or a 1940 Act Event. Any such redemption will be at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date fixed by the Company. No redemption of the Notes by the Company prior to the Stated Maturity Date shall
be made without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board if such prior approval is or will be required at the scheduled Redemption Date. The provisions of Article XI of the Base Indenture and Article 3 of the First Supplemental Indenture
shall apply to the redemption of any Notes by the Company. 
 The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. The Notes are
not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. 
 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 at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. 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 Notes, to waive 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 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 Note. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security
Register described in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, 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 hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

  
 -25- 








 The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000
and any integral multiples of $1,000 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. 
 This Security is a global note, represented by one or more permanent global certificates registered in the name of
the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (each a “Global Note” and collectively, the “Global Notes”). Accordingly, unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates, this Note may not be transferred except as a
whole by The Depository 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 Note 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 the Base Indenture, Participants and owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Notes in the form of Individual Securities and will not be considered Holders of Notes. None of the Company, the
Trustee, the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent or any of their respective agents 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, the Trustee, the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent and each of their respective agents 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 3.05 of the Base Indenture, beneficial owners of Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in the form of Individual Securities, 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 certain 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 or entities 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 Corporate
Trust Office presently located at 21 South Street, 3rd Floor, Morristown, New Jersey 07960. 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. 
 Notices to the Holders of registered Notes in the form of
Individual Securities will be given to such Holders at their respective addresses in the Security Register, or in the case of Global Notes, electronic delivery in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. The Indenture contains provisions
setting forth certain conditions to the institution of proceedings by the Holders of Notes with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture. 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
