total amount of security deposit payable at the end of the current month = balance of outstanding loans at the end of the current month (i.e. the balance of outstanding loans as at 24:00 of the final day of the current calculation month) ×K;

 

total amount of security deposit payable in the beginning of the current month = ending balance of outstanding loans of the preceding calculation month (i.e. the balance of outstanding loans as at 24:00 of the final day of the preceding calculation month) ×K;

 

b.                  Party B shall, within five business days following the end of each calculation month, settle and pay the additional security deposit payable for the current month to Party A according to the provisions above.

Party B hereby designates the following account for receiving the security deposit returned by Party A:

Account number:

Bank: China Merchants Bank Beijing Branch Wanda Plaza Sub-branch

 

d.                  Party A and Party B shall, in the monthly settlement of security deposit as set out above, calculate the average delinquency rate (M) of the preceding month as follows: average delinquency rate (M) = (amount of delinquent loans in the preceding month/ average balance of outstanding loans in the preceding month) ×12, where, amount of delinquent loans in the preceding month = total amount of delinquent loans repaid out of the security deposit in the preceding month; average balance of outstanding loans in the preceding month = balance of outstanding loans in the beginning of the preceding month + balance of outstanding loans at the end of the preceding month)/2.

 

If the average delinquency rate (M) in the preceding month exceeds 18%, Party B shall pay a security deposit for repayment of excessive delinquent loans (N), which shall be calculated as follows: security deposit for repayment of excessive delinquent loans (N) = average balance of outstanding loans in the preceding month ×(M-18%). Such security deposit for repayment of excessive (N) shall be paid by Party A to Party B using its own funds in the agreed time as set out in paragraph (3)c to the designated account for collecting deposit.

 

(4)             Deposit balance confirmation

 5 

 
amendment, clarification, change, interpretation, pronouncement or administrative action is effective and applicable) that the Bank is, or may be, subject to more than a de minimis amount

traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, for the 5-Year U.S. Treasury Bond as that rate is displayed on the Reuters
screen FEDCMT page or (ii) if there is no such published U.S. Treasury security with a maturity of five-years from the next Reset Date and trading in the public securities markets, then the rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent by
interpolation between the most recent weekly average yield to maturity for two series of U.S. Treasury securities trading in the public securities market, (A) one maturing as close as possible to, but earlier than, the Reset Date following the
next succeeding Reset Interest Determination Date, and (B) the other maturity as close as possible to, but later than, the Reset Date following the next succeeding Reset Interest Determination Date, in each case as published in the most recent
H.15. If the Treasury Yield cannot be determined pursuant to the methods described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, then the Treasury Yield will be the same interest rate determined for the prior Reset Interest Determination Date. 

“Trigger Event” has the meaning set out in the OSFI, Guideline for Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR), Chapter 2 —
Definition of Capital, effective April 2018, 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:

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 

  
 6 

 
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.

Section 103.    Benefits of Third Supplemental Indenture. 

Nothing in this Third Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and
their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Third Supplemental Indenture. 

Section 104.    Conflict with Base Indenture. 

If any provision of this Third Supplemental Indenture relating to the Notes is inconsistent with any provision of the Base Indenture, such
provision of this Third Supplemental Indenture shall control. 
 Section 105.    Provisions of Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust Indenture
Act to be a part of and govern this Third Supplemental Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Third 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 Third Supplemental Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 106.    Separability Clause. 

In case any provision in this Third 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) of the Base Indenture and Articles Seven and Nine of this Third Supplemental Indenture, which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of

The Notes may be issued from time to time upon a Bank Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 303 of the
Base Indenture. There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated as the 4.800% Fixed Rate Resetting Non-Cumulative Subordinated Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes
(Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (Subordinated Indebtedness) having an initial aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer
of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture are deemed to never have been authenticated and
delivered under the Base Indenture). 
 Section 202.    No Scheduled Maturity. 

The Notes shall have no Stated Maturity in respect of principal. 

Section 203.    Form, Payment and Appointment. 

Except as provided in Section 305 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be issued only in book-entry form and shall be represented by
one or more Global Notes registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Company (and any successor thereto) (“DTC”) or its nominee. Principal or the Redemption Price, if any, of a Note shall be payable to the Person in
whose name that Note is registered on the Redemption Date, provided that principal or the Redemption Price, if any, of, and interest on, the Notes represented by one or more Global Notes 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 Notes. The principal of any certificated Notes shall be payable at the Place of Payment set forth below;
provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Bank by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account appropriately
designated by the Person entitled to payment. 
 The Notes shall have such other terms as are set forth in the form thereof attached hereto
as Exhibit A. 
 The Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent and Paying Agent for the Notes shall initially be the Trustee. 

The Place of Payment for the Notes shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Notes shall be issuable and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral
multiple of $1,000. The amounts payable with respect to the Notes shall be payable in U.S. dollars. 

  
 8 

 Section 204.    Global Note. 

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

Section 205.    Interest. 

(a)    From and including the Issue Date to, but excluding, the First Reset Date, interest shall accrue on the Notes at an
initial rate equal to 4.800% per annum. Thereafter, for each period commencing on a Reset Date, from and including such Reset Date to, but excluding the following Reset Date (each, a “Subsequent Fixed Rate Period”), interest shall
accrue on the Notes at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Treasury Yield plus 2.979%, as determined by the Calculation Agent on the applicable Reset Interest Determination Date. The Bank shall, following each Reset Date, promptly notify the
Trustee in writing of the interest rate payable on the Notes from and including such Reset Date. 
 (b)    Subject to
the Bank’s right to cancel interest payments pursuant to Section 206(a) of this Third Supplemental Indenture, interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 25 and August 25 of each year (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 25, 2020. If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day for the Notes, the Bank shall postpone the making of such interest payment to the next succeeding
Business Day (and no interest shall be paid in respect of the delay). 
 (c)    Interest on the Notes shall be
calculated and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

(d)    Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture or the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes shall in no event be
higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application and in no event shall the interest rate on the Notes be less than zero. 

(e)    All determinations and calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive
and binding on the Bank and the Holders of the Notes. 
 Section 206.    Cancellation of Interest Payments 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in the Base Indenture or this Third Supplemental Indenture, (i) interest on the Notes shall be due and
payable on an Interest Payment Date only if it is not cancelled by the Bank, and (ii) the Bank shall have the sole and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel (in whole or in part) any interest payment that would otherwise
be payable on any Interest Payment Date and any interest cancelled pursuant to this Section 206(a) shall not accumulate or be due and payable at any time thereafter and the Holders 

  
 9 

 
and beneficial owners of the Notes shall have no rights thereto or to receive any additional interest or compensation as a result of such cancellation of interest in respect of the Notes. 

(b)    Upon any election by the Bank to cancel (in whole or in part) any interest payment pursuant to Section 206(a)
of this Third Supplemental Indenture, the Bank shall give notice to the Holders of the Notes through DTC (or, if the Notes are held in definitive form, to the Holders directly at their addresses shown in the Security Register) and to the Trustee on
or prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, specifying the amount of the relevant interest cancellation and, accordingly, the amount (if any) of the interest that will be paid on such Interest Payment Date. Failure to provide such notice shall
not have any impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such cancellation of interest, or give the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes any rights as a result of such failure. 

(c)    Any interest on the Notes which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date and which has not been cancelled pursuant to Section 206(a) of this Third Supplemental Indenture (such interest herein called “Nonpayment Interest”) shall be paid by the Bank on the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date to the Holders of the Notes on the Regular Record Date, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that no additional interest or compensation shall accrue on the Nonpayment Interest or be payable as a result of such delay in
payment. 
 Section 207.    Satisfaction and Discharge. 

The provisions of Article Four of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes; however, the following shall apply to the Notes:

 The Indenture shall upon Bank Request cease to be of further effect, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Bank, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, when (a) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or
paid as provided in Section 306 of the Base Indenture and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been irrevocably deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Bank and thereafter repaid to the Bank or discharged
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. 

  
 10 

 Section 208.    No Repayment at the Option of Holders.

Holder shall not be applicable to the Notes.

The provisions of Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture relating to sinking funds shall not be applicable to the Notes. 

Section 210.    Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 

The provisions of Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture relating to Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance shall not be applicable to the Notes.

 Section 211.    Amendments. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the Bank shall not, without the prior written approval of the
Superintendent, amend or vary terms of the Notes that would affect the recognition of the Notes as regulatory capital under capital adequacy requirements adopted by the Superintendent. 

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, facsimile or electronic format (i.e. “.pdf” or “.tif”) 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 $500,000,000 may from time to time, upon execution of this Third 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). 

  
 11 

 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) the
non-payment or default in the payment of interest, or the cancellation of any interest pursuant to Section 206(a) of this Third Supplemental Indenture, 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. 

Section 502 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced with the following for purposes of the Notes: If an Event of Default has occurred,
and a Trigger Event has not occurred, the entire principal amount of and any Accrued Interest on all of the Outstanding Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of
the Notes. 
 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 

  
 12 

 
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)    Subject to the Bank’s right to cancel interest payments pursuant to Section 206(a) of this Third
Supplemental Indenture, 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 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

  
 13 

 
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 

(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 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)    In the event of the occurrence of any transaction or event resulting in a successor to the
Bank, all references to Canada in the preceding paragraphs of this subsection shall be deemed to be references to the jurisdiction of organization of the successor entity. 

  
 14 

 (g)    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. 

Section 602.    Restrictions on the Payment of Dividends and Retirement of Shares. 

If on any Interest Payment Date, the Bank does not pay in full the applicable interest on the Notes that is due and payable on such Interest
Payment Date (whether as a result of cancellation pursuant to Section 206(a) of this Third Supplemental Indenture or otherwise), the Bank shall not (a) declare dividends on the Common Shares or the preferred shares of the Bank or
(b) redeem, purchase or otherwise retire any Common Shares or preferred shares of the Bank (except pursuant to any purchase obligation, retraction privilege or mandatory redemption provisions attaching to any preferred shares of the Bank), in
each case, until the month commencing immediately after the Bank makes an interest payment in full on the Notes. 
 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 Event occurs, into fully-paid and freely tradable 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) the 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. 

  
 15 

 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 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 of 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 

  
 16 

 
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 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 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 

  
 17 

 
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 TSX 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 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

  
 18 

 
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 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.

 ARTICLE NINE 
 SUBORDINATION
OF NOTES 
 Section 901.    Applicability of Article Fifteen of the Base Indenture. 

Solely for the purposes of the Notes (and not in relation to any other series of Securities), Article Fifteen of the Base Indenture shall be
deemed to be replaced in its entirety by this Article Nine. 
 Section 902.    Notes Subordinate to Deposit Liabilities and
Other Indebtedness. 
 The Notes are direct unsecured debt obligations constituting bank subordinated indebtedness within the
meaning of the Bank Act and, in the event of the insolvency or winding-up of the Bank, the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall rank: 

(a)    subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Indebtedness of the Bank then outstanding
(including all Subordinated Indebtedness of the Bank then outstanding other than Deeply Subordinated Indebtedness) (the “Higher Ranked Indebtedness”); and 

(b)    in right of payment equally with and not prior to the Deeply Subordinated Indebtedness (other than the Deeply
Subordinated Indebtedness which by its terms ranks subordinate to the Notes) of the Bank then outstanding, 
 whether any such Indebtedness described in
clauses (a) and (b) is now outstanding or hereafter incurred. 
 The Bank agrees and each Holder of any Note, by his, her or its
acceptance of such Note, also agrees and shall be deemed conclusively to have agreed, for the benefit of the present and future holders of Higher Ranked Indebtedness, to the provisions of this Article Nine and the Bank and each Holder of any Note by
his, her or its acceptance of such Note shall be bound by such provisions. 
 Section 903.    Further Assurances of
Subordination. 
 Each Holder of Notes by his, her or its acceptance of such Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on his, her or its
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to further assure the subordination as provided in this Article Nine.

 Section 904.    Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
Agent. 
 Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Bank, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Base
Indenture, and the Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or
reorganization proceedings are pending, or upon any certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Higher Ranked Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Bank, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Nine. 
 Section 905.    Trustee’s
Compensation Not Prejudiced. 
 Nothing in this Article Nine shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to other sections in the
Indenture. 
 Section 906.    Trustee Entitled to Assume Payments Not Prohibited in Absence of Notice. 

The Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be required to withhold payment to the Holders of Notes, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office from the Bank, or from one or more holders of
Higher Ranked Indebtedness or from any representative therefor and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 601 and 603 of the Base Indenture, shall be entitled to assume conclusively that
no such facts exist. 
 The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Base Indenture, shall be entitled to rely on the
delivery to it of a written notice by the Bank or a person representing himself, herself or itself to be a holder of Higher Ranked Indebtedness to establish that such notice has been given. In the event that the Trustee determine in good faith that
further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such Higher Ranked Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Nine, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Higher Ranked Indebtedness held by such person, the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the
rights of such person under this Article Nine, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment. 

Section 907     No Fiduciary Duty of Trustee to Holders of Higher Ranked Indebtedness. 

The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Higher Ranked Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such
holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders of the Notes or the Bank or any other Person, 

  
 22 

 
cash, property or securities to which any holders of Higher Ranked Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Nine or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 907 shall affect the
obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such payment over to, the holders of Higher Ranked Indebtedness or their representative.

 Bank of Montreal, a Schedule I bank under the Bank Act (Canada) (herein called the
“Bank”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
$                                         

(                                         
 UNITED STATES DOLLARS), if and to the extent due, and to pay interest thereon, if any, in accordance with the terms hereof and the Indenture. This Security shall have no scheduled maturity date or scheduled redemption date. 

 

 From and including the Issue Date to, but excluding, the First Reset Date, interest shall
accrue on the Securities at an initial rate equal to 4.800% per annum. Thereafter, for each period commencing on a Reset Date, from and including such Reset Date to, but excluding the following Reset Date (each, a “Subsequent Fixed Rate
Period”), interest shall accrue on the Securities at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Treasury Yield plus 2.979%, as determined by the Calculation Agent on the applicable Reset Interest Determination Date. Subject to the Bank’s
right to cancel interest payments pursuant to Section 206(a) of the Third Supplemental Indenture, interest on the Securities shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 25 and August 25 of each year (each, an
“Interest Payment Date”), commencing February 25, 2020, to the Holders of the Securities on the Regular Record Date. 

If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day for the Securities, the Bank shall postpone the making of such interest
payment to the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall be paid in respect of the delay). 
 Interest on the Securities shall be
calculated and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture or this Security, the interest rate on this
Security shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application and in no event shall the interest rate on this Security be less than zero. 

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, by facsimile or electronic format (i.e. “.pdf” or “.tif”).

 (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 Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 30, 2019, 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 $500,000,000, 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, to the extent provided in the Indenture, ranks (a) subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Higher Ranked Indebtedness and (b) in right of payment equally with and not prior to the
Deeply Subordinated Indebtedness (other than the Deeply Subordinated Indebtedness which by its terms ranks subordinate to the Securities) of the Bank, in each case, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, 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 Higher Ranked Indebtedness whether now outstanding or
hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 
 The Bank shall have the
sole and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel (in whole or in part) any interest payment that would otherwise be payable on any Interest Payment Date. 

Upon any election by the Bank to cancel (in whole or in part) any interest payment pursuant to Section 206(a) of the Third Supplemental
Indenture, the Bank shall give notice to the Holders of this Security through DTC and to the Trustee on or prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, specifying the amount of the relevant interest cancellation and, accordingly, the amount (if any)
of the interest that will be paid on such Interest Payment Date. Failure to provide such notice shall not have any impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any such cancellation of interest, or give the Holders or beneficial owners
of this Security any rights as a result of such failure. 

  
 A-4 

 Interest on this Security shall only be due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the
extent it is not cancelled (in whole or in part) in accordance with the Indenture, and any cancelled interest shall not accumulate or be due and payable at any time thereafter and Holders and beneficial owners of this Security shall have no rights
thereto or to receive any additional interest or compensation as a result of such cancellation of interest in respect of this Security. 

If on any Interest Payment Date, the Bank does not pay in full the applicable interest on this Security that is due and payable on such
Interest Payment Date (whether as a result of cancellation or otherwise), the Bank shall not (a) declare dividends on the Common Shares or the preferred shares of the Bank or (b) redeem, purchase or otherwise retire any Common Shares or
preferred shares of the Bank (except pursuant to any purchase obligation, retraction privilege or mandatory redemption provisions attaching to any preferred shares of the Bank), in each case, until the month commencing immediately after the Bank
makes an interest payment in full on this Security. 
 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 a number of fully-paid and freely tradable Common Shares of the Bank determined by dividing (a) the product of the Multiplier and the
Note Value, by (b) the Conversion Price. 
 Subject to the Bank’s right to cancel interest payments pursuant to
Section 206(a) of the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Bank shall pay Additional Amounts in respect of any withholding or deduction imposed in respect of payments on the Securities pursuant to and subject to the exceptions set forth in
Section 601 of the Third Supplemental Indenture. 
 The Bank may, at its option, redeem the Securities, with the prior written approval
of the Superintendent, on not less than 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Holders of the Securities, (i) in whole or in part, on any Interest Payment Date on or after the First Reset Date, (ii) in whole but
not in part, at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Event Date and (iii) in whole but not in part, at any time following the occurrence of a Tax Event, in each case, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus any Accrued Interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a
new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur, and a Trigger Event has not occurred, the principal of the
Securities of this series, plus Accrued Interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable as provided in the Indenture, and the Holder of this Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the
principal of and Accrued Interest on this Security as provided in the Indenture, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. 

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 

  
 A-5 

 
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. 

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. 
 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 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. 

  
 A-6 

 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.
