In the event that the Stated Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on this Security or such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Stated Maturity Date in respect of such delay.

[Reverse of Security]
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Subordinated Notes Indenture, dated as of June 27, 2016 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under 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 Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities, and to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms upon which the Securities of this series are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest, rank and in any other respect provided in the Indenture.
The Securities of this series shall initially be limited to U.S.$150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.  Following the initial issuance of the Securities of this series, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series may be increased as provided in the Indenture.
All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.
The Securities of this series shall be redeemable by the Company, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on or after June 30, 2021, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any such redemption will be subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.    
No sinking fund will be provided with respect to the Securities of this series.  
The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations to holders of Senior Debt of the Company, 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 its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
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 Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any provisions of the Indenture or modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Holders of the Securities of each such series under the Indenture, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series (voting as one class) to be affected by such supplemental indenture.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of a specified percentage 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 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 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 any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, 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 written notice to the Trustee of a continued Event of Default or Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default or Default in its own name as Trustee thereunder and offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings, and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series.  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 on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in this Security.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Securities Register, upon presentment of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained under Section 5.02 of the Indenture duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $25 and any integral multiples of $25 in excess 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 such series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
