4.625% Senior Notes Due 2019 
 1.
Payment. 
 (a) CUSTOMERS BANCORP, INC., a company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the
“Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, as nominee of DTC, the principal sum of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) on June 26, 2019 (the “Maturity
Date”) and to pay interest thereon at the rate of 4.625% per year (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from and including June 26, 2014 to the Maturity Date or any early redemption date (the
“Interest Payment Dates”); payable semi-annually in arrears, on June 26 and December 26 of each year. The first Interest Payment Date shall be December 26, 2014. 

(b) If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, then the payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and no interest will accrue as a result of such postponement. A “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, federal holiday or day on which banks in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close. 
 2. Senior Notes, Noteholders. This Senior Note is a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer
designated as 4.625% Senior Notes Due 2019 (herein called the “Senior Notes” or the “Notes”) issued under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2014 (the “Issuing and Paying
Agency Agreement”), among Customers Bank, the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Issuing and Paying Agent (herein called the “Issuing and Paying Agent,” which term includes any successor issuing and paying agent
under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement) and reference is hereby made to the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer and the Issuing
and Paying Agent and of the terms upon which the Senior Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The holder in whose name any Senior Notes are registered on the Security Register (as defined herein) is referred to as a
“Noteholder,” and such holders collectively are referred to as the “Noteholders.” 
 3. Optional Redemption. The
Issuer may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed or (2) as determined by the Quotation Agent
(defined below), the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal on the Senior Notes, together with the present value of all remaining and scheduled semi-annual interest payments on the Senior Notes, in each case
discounted to the early redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (defined below) plus 45 basis points (0.45%) (the “Make-Whole Redemption Price”), together in
each case with accrued interest payments to the early redemption date. For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Redemption Price, the following definitions apply: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable
to the remaining term of the Senior Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized at the time of selection, and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining
term of the Senior Notes. 

  
 3 

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means with respect to any early redemption date
(1) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the early redemption date, after excluding the highest and the lowest of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if fewer than five Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations are obtained, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means a Reference Treasury
Dealer appointed by U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means a primary independent United States
government securities dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and
any early redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by
such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the early redemption date. 

“Treasury Rate” means the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent or interpolated (on a daycount basis) yield to maturity
of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that early redemption date. 

The Issuer will notify Noteholders of the Senior Notes to be redeemed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the scheduled redemption
(which notice may be conditional). If the Issuer is redeeming less than all the Senior Notes, the Issuing and Paying Agent under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement must select the Senior Notes to be redeemed by lot or by such other method as
the Issuing and Paying Agent deems fair and appropriate, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC. 
 On and after any early redemption
date, interest will cease to accrue on the Senior Notes called for redemption. On or prior to any early redemption date, the Issuer is required to deposit with the Issuing and Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed on such date.

organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes, by a supplemental agreement, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any interest on the Senior
Notes according to their terms, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all covenants and conditions to be performed by the Issuer contained in this Note and the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement (as such terms relate to the Notes);
and 
 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default (as defined below), and no event which, after notice or
lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 Upon any such consolidation or merger, or
conveyance or transfer, the successor entity or person formed, or into which the Issuer is merged or to which such conveyance or transfer is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement,
and the Issuer shall be released from all of its obligations pursuant thereto. 
 5. Limitation on Disposition of Stock by the
Issuer. The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign or grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of any shares of the voting stock of Customers Bank (the “Bank”), or any securities convertible into or

also not prohibit a pledge made or a lien created (i) to secure loans or other extensions of credit by the Bank subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, (ii) on directors’ qualifying shares, (iii) for taxes,
assessments or other governmental charges or levies (a) which are not yet due or are payable without penalty, (b) which the Issuer is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as it has set aside on its books such
reserves as shall be required in conformity with applicable generally accepted accounting principles or (c) which secures obligations of less than $7.5 million in amount, or (iv) in respect of any judgment if that

  
 5

books such reserves as shall be required in respect thereof in conformity with applicable generally accepted accounting principles or (c) involves claims of less than $25 million.

action shall not adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder in any material respect as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Issuer, (vi) modify the restrictions on and procedures for resales and other transfers of the
Senior Notes to reflect any change in applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof) or in practices relating to the resale or other transfer of restricted securities generally, or (vii) modify, eliminate or add to the provisions
of the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement (as it relates to the Senior Notes) to such extent as shall be necessary to qualify the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement (including any supplemental agreement thereto) under the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended, or under such similar statute hereafter enacted. 
 (b) With the consent of the Noteholders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes affected thereby, the Issuer and the Issuing and Paying Agent may enter into one or more agreements supplemental to the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement (as it relates to the Senior Notes) for the
purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement (as it relates to the Senior Notes) or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders under the
Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby: (i) change the stated maturity date of the principal (or any installment
of principal) of any Note, (ii) change any Interest Payment Date on which interest on any Note is to be paid, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Note, (iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Note, (v) change the manner of
calculation of interest on any Note, (vi) change any of the redemption provisions of any Note, (vii) change any place of payment for any Note, (viii) change the currency in which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on,
any Note is payable, (ix) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any required payment in respect of any Note on or after the stated maturity thereof, or (x) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Noteholders is required for the modification and amendment of the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement (as it relates to the Senior Notes) and the Senior Notes.

 16. Absolute and Unconditional Obligation of the Issuer. No provisions of this Note shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

17. Waiver and Consent. (a) Any consent or waiver given by the Noteholder shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and
upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 18. Further Issues. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of any of the Noteholders, create
and issue additional notes having the same terms and conditions of the Senior Notes in all respects (except for the issue date, issue price and initial Interest Payment Date) so that such additional notes would form a single series with the Senior
Notes and rank equally and ratably with the Senior Notes or would form a new series. No additional Senior Notes may be issued if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Senior Notes. 

19. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement) have been delivered to the Issuer for cancellation; or (B) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Issuer for
cancellation (i) have become due and payable, or (ii) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year, or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year in accordance with the terms of the Issuing and
Paying Agency Agreement and the Notes and, in the case of (B) (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Issuer has irrevocably paid to the Noteholders funds in an amount in the currency in which the Notes are payable, sufficient to pay and
discharge the 

  
 10 

 
entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Issuer for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest with respect thereto, to the date of such payment (in
the case of Notes that have become due and payable) or the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; 
 (b) the Issuer has
paid or caused to be paid all or other sums payable under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement (as it relates to the Notes) and the Notes; and

 CUSTOMERS BANK 

Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Due 2029 

1. Payment. 
 (a)
CUSTOMERS BANK, a company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, as nominee of DTC, the principal sum
of One Hundred Ten Million Dollars (U.S.) ($110,000,000) on June 26, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon (i) at the rate of 6.125% per year (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months) from and including June 26, 2014 to but excluding June 26, 2024 or any early redemption date (the “Fixed Rate Interest Period”), payable during the Fixed Rate Interest Period semi-annually in arrears, on
June 26 and December 26 of each year (each, a “Fixed Interest Payment Date”), and (ii) at the rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 344.3 basis points (3.443%) (computed on the basis of a
360-day year based on the number of days actually elapsed) from and including June 26, 2024 to the Maturity Date or any early redemption date (the “Floating Rate Interest Period”), payable quarterly in arrears on each
March 26, June 26, September 26 and December 26 (each, a “Floating Interest Payment Date” and together with each Fixed Interest Payment Date, the “Interest Payment Dates”). The first
Interest Payment Date shall be December 26, 2014. 
 (b) If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, then
the payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest will accrue as a result of such postponement. A “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, federal holiday or day on which banks in the
State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 
 (c) For purposes hereof: 

(i) “Determination Date” with respect to an Interest Period will be the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of
such Interest Period. 
 (ii) “Interest Period” means the period commencing on and including an interest payment date and
ending on and including the day immediately preceding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (iii) “LIBOR” with
respect to an Interest Period, will be the ICE Benchmark Administration London Interbank Offered Rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the
Determination Date that appears on the appropriate page of the Reuters Screen as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Determination Date. If such screen does not include such a rate or is unavailable on a Determination Date, the Issuing and Paying
Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected 

  
 3 

 
by the Issuing and Paying Agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Determination Date, to
prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in a Representative Amount in U.S. dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so
provided, the rate for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Issuing and Paying Agent will request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the
Issuing and Paying Agent, to provide such bank’s rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Determination Date, for loans in a Representative Amount in U.S. dollars to leading
European banks for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such rates are so provided, the rate for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than
two such rates are so provided, then the rate for the Interest Period will be the rate in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Period. 

(iv) “London Banking Day” is any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted or, with respect to any future date,
are expected to be transacted in the London interbank market. 
 (v) “Representative Amount” means a principal amount of
not less than $1,000,000 for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. 
 2. Subordinated Notes, Noteholders.
This Subordinated Note is a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Due 2029 (herein called the “Subordinated Notes” or the “Notes”) issued under the
Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2014 (the “Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement”), among Customers Bancorp, Inc., the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as Issuing and Paying Agent (herein
called the “Issuing and Paying Agent,” which term includes any successor issuing and paying agent under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement) and reference is hereby made to the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement for a statement
of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer and the Issuing and Paying Agent and of the terms upon which the Subordinated Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The holder in whose
name any Subordinated Notes are registered on the Security Register (as defined herein) is referred to as a “Noteholder,” and such holders collectively are referred to as the “Noteholders.” 

3. Optional Redemption. The Issuer may, at its option, beginning with the Interest Payment Date of June 26, 2024 and on any
scheduled Interest Payment Date thereafter (or at any time on or after the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date), redeem the Subordinated Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the redeemed Subordinated Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption. The option of redemption is subject to the approval of the Federal Reserve Board (the “Federal Reserve”). 

The Issuer will notify Noteholders of the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the scheduled
redemption (which notice may be conditional). If the Issuer is redeeming less than all the Subordinated Notes, the Issuing and Paying Agent under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement must select the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed by lot or by
such other method as the Issuing and Paying Agent deems fair and appropriate, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC. 

  
 4 

 Additionally, any time the Subordinated Notes remain outstanding, to the extent the Issuer makes
a reasonable determination (as evidenced by an officers’ certificate delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent) that, as a result of the occurrence of any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any
rules or regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, or as a result of any official or administrative pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws, rules or
regulations, which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement, action or decision is announced on or after the date of issuance of the Subordinated Notes, it is reasonably likely that the Subordinated Notes will not be entitled to
treatment as “Tier 2” capital (or the then equivalent thereof) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve, as then in effect and applicable, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Subordinated Notes in whole
or in part on not fewer than 30 nor greater than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to the holders of the Subordinated Notes, subject to the Federal Reserve’s approval, to the extent required. In the event of any such redemption, the redemption
price shall be 102% of the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes being redeemed (plus accrued and unpaid interest through the early redemption date). 

On and after any early redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Subordinated Notes called for redemption. On or prior to any
early redemption date, the Issuer is required to deposit with the Issuing and Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the notes to be redeemed on such date. 

4. Subordination. The indebtedness of the Issuer evidenced by the Subordinated Notes, including the principal and interest on this
Note, shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Issuer, and that such subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness. Upon any payment or distribution of assets to creditors in case of the Issuer’s liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar
proceedings, all holders of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due to such holders pursuant to the terms of such Senior Indebtedness before the Noteholders will be entitled to receive any payment of
principal or interest on their Subordinated Notes. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior Indebtedness, the Noteholders, together with the holders of any obligations of the Issuer ranking
equally in right of payment with the Subordinated Notes, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Issuer, the unpaid principal thereof, and the unpaid interest thereon, before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash,
property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Issuer ranking subordinate or junior to the Subordinated Notes. In addition, no payment on account of principal or interest on the Subordinated Notes will
be made by the Issuer if, at the time of such payment or immediately after giving effect thereto, there shall have occurred an event of default with respect to any of the Issuer’s Senior Indebtedness, permitting the holders thereof (or a
trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof, or an event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such event of default, and such event of default shall not have been cured or
waived. 

  
 5 

 “Senior Indebtedness” means the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on: 
 (a) the Issuer’s obligations for money borrowed (including deposits); 

(b) indebtedness of the Issuer evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments; 

(c) similar obligations of the Issuer arising from off-balance sheet guarantees and direct credit substitutes; 

(d) reimbursement obligations of the Issuer with respect to letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or similar facilities; 

(e) obligations of the Issuer issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (but excluding trade accounts payable
or accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business); 
 (f) capital lease obligations of the Issuer; 

(g) obligations of the Issuer associated with derivative products including but not limited to securities contracts, foreign currency exchange
contracts, swap agreements (including interest rate and foreign exchange rate swap agreements), cap agreements, floor agreements, collar agreements, interest rate agreements, foreign exchange rate agreements, options, commodity futures contracts,
commodity option contracts and similar financial instruments; 
 (h) a deferred obligation of, or any such obligation, directly or
indirectly guaranteed by, the Issuer which obligation is incurred in connection with the acquisition of any business, properties or assets not evidenced by a note or similar instrument given in connection therewith; and 

(i) debt of others described in the preceding clauses that the Issuer has guaranteed or for which the Issuer is otherwise liable, unless, in
any case in the instrument creating or evidencing any such indebtedness or obligation, or pursuant to which the same is outstanding, it is provided that such indebtedness or obligation is not superior in right of payment to the Subordinated Notes or
to other debt that is pari passu with or subordinate to the Subordinated Notes. 
 Each Noteholder by accepting a Note authorizes and
directs the Issuing and Paying Agent on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Noteholders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer as provided in this
Section 4 and appoints the Issuing and Paying Agent as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 Nothing herein shall impair
the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note in accordance with its terms. 

  
 6 

 Each Noteholder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination
provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and
continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to
hold, such Senior Indebtedness. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness
of the Issuer may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Issuing and Paying Agent or the Noteholders, without incurring responsibility to the Issuing and Paying Agent or the Noteholders and without impairing or
releasing the subordination provided in this Section 4 or the obligations hereunder of the Noteholders to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of
payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner
for the payment or collection of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer and any other Person. 

5. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. The Issuer shall not consolidate with or merge into another person or entity, or convey or
transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person or entity, unless: 
 (a) the person or entity formed by such
consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or the person or entity which acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Issuer substantially as an entirety is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or any other entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes, by a
supplemental agreement, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any interest on the Subordinated Notes according to their terms, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all covenants and conditions to be performed by the
Issuer contained in this Note and the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement; and 
 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing. 

Upon any such consolidation or merger, or conveyance or transfer, the successor entity or person formed, or into which the Issuer is merged or
to which such conveyance or transfer is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, and the Issuer shall be released from all of its obligations pursuant thereto. 

  
 7 

 6. Events of Default; Acceleration. If any of the following events shall occur and be
continuing (each an “Event of Default”): 
 (a) the Issuer shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
trustee or other similar official in any bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer; or 
 (b) a
court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other similar official in any bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, insolvency or similar
proceeding with respect to the Issuer and such decree or order shall have remained in force for 30 days; 
 then, and in each such case, unless the
principal of this Note already shall have become due and payable, the holders of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Notes, by notice in writing to the Issuer, may declare the principal amount of this Note to be due and
payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. 
 7. Failure to Make
Payment. In the event of failure by the Issuer to make any required payment of principal or interest on this Note (and, in the case of payment of interest, such failure to pay shall have continued for 30 calendar days), the Noteholders may (if
such principal or interest remains unpaid following delivery by such Noteholders of notice to the Issuer) institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and
may enforce the same against the Issuer and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law. 
 8.
Payment Procedures. Payment of the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account in the United States designated by the Noteholder, upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the office of the Issuer or at such other place or places as the Issuer shall designate by notice to the Noteholders, provided that this Note is presented to the Issuer in time for the Issuer to make such payments in such
funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest (other than interest payable on the Maturity Date or upon early redemption) shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds or check mailed to the person entitled
thereto, as such person’s address appears on the Security Register maintained by the Issuing and Paying Agent as of the applicable Regular Record Date or to such other address in the United States as any Noteholder shall designate to the
Issuing and Paying Agent in writing not later than the relevant Regular Record Date. Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the holder in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth
calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (such date being referred to herein as the “Regular Record Date”), except that interest not punctually paid may be paid to the
Noteholder in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date fixed by the Issuer (a “Special Record Date”), notice of which shall be given to the holder not less than 15 calendar days prior to
such Special Record Date. (The Regular Record Date and Special Record Date are referred to herein collectively as the “Record Dates”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest shall accrue, at the rate at which interest
accrues on the principal of this Note, on any amount of principal of or interest on this Note not paid when due. All payments on this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and then the balance, if any, to principal. 

  
 8 

 9. Form of Payment, Maintenance of Payment Office. Payments of principal of and interest
on this Note shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Until the date on which all of the Subordinated Notes shall have been
surrendered or delivered to the Issuer or the Issuing and Paying Agent for cancellation or destruction, or become due and payable and a sum sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all of the Subordinated Notes shall have been either paid
or reserved for payment by the Issuer as provided herein, the Issuer shall at all times maintain an office or agency in the State of New York where Subordinated Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment. 

10. Registration of Transfer, Security Register. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note is transferable in whole and not in
part, and may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes of other authorized denominations, by the Noteholder in person, or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Issuing and Paying Agent. The
Issuing and Paying Agent shall maintain a register providing for the registration of ownership of the Subordinated Notes and any exchange or transfer thereof (the “Security Register”). Upon presentation of this Note for exchange or
registration of transfer, the Issuer shall execute, authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a Note or Notes of like tenor and terms, each in a denomination of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000 and,
in the absence of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Issuer to the contrary, bearing the restrictive legends set forth on the face of this Note and that is or are registered in such name or names requested by the Noteholder. Any Note
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, and shall be accompanied by such evidence of due authorization and guarantee of
signature as may reasonably be required by the Issuer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, duly executed by the Noteholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such tax identification number or other information for each person in whose
name a Note is to be issued, and accompanied by evidence of compliance with any restrictive legends appearing on such Note or Notes as the Issuer may reasonably request to comply with applicable law. No exchange or registration of transfer of this
Note shall be made on or after the fifteenth day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. This Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer of a subscription agreement between the Issuer of this Note and the purchasers referred to therein, a copy
of which is on file with the Issuer. The Note may not be sold or otherwise transferred except in compliance with said agreement. 
 11.
Charges and Transfer Taxes. No service charge (other than any cost of delivery) shall be imposed for any exchange or registration of transfer of this Note, but the Issuing and Paying Agent or the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any stamp or other tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than exchanges pursuant to the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement not involving any transfer) or presentation of evidence that such tax or charge has been
paid. 
 12. Ownership. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer may deem and treat the

This Executive Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of June 23, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between William Hornung (the “Executive”) and ContraVir Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

R E C I T A L S

B.  WHEREAS, in order to provide Executive with the financial security and sufficient encouragement to become retained by the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to provide Executive with certain engagement terms and severance benefits as set forth herein.

 

AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and the engagement of Executive by the Company, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.  Definition of Terms.  The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

(b)  “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(i)  the date on which any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) obtains “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) or a pecuniary interest in fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (“Voting Stock”);

 

(ii)  the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or similar transaction involving the Company, other than a transaction: (1) in which substantially all of the holders of the Voting Stock immediately prior to such transaction hold or receive directly or indirectly fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting stock of the resulting entity or a parent company thereof, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to the transaction; or (2) in which the holders of the Company’s capital stock immediately before such transaction will, immediately after such transaction, hold as a group on a fully diluted basis the ability to elect at least a majority of the authorized directors of the surviving entity (or a parent company); or

 

(iii)  there is consummated a sale, lease, license or disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or disposition.

 

(c)  “Disability” means totally and permanently disabled as defined in the Company’s disability benefit plan applicable to senior executive officers as in effect on the date thereof.

 

(d)  “Good Reason” shall mean without Executive’s express written consent any of the following: (i) a significant reduction of Executive’s duties, position or responsibilities relative to Executive’s duties, position or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such

 

 

reduction, or the removal of Executive from such position, duties or responsibilities; (ii) the relocation of Executive to a facility or a location more than twenty-five (25) miles from the Company’s then current principal location; (iii) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other agreement with Executive that is not corrected within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Executive (or such earlier date that the Company has notice of such material breach); or (iv) the failure of the Company to obtain the written assumption of this Agreement by any successor contemplated in Section 11 below.

 

2.  Duties and Scope of Position.  During the Engagement Term (as defined below), Executive will serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, and assuming and discharging such responsibilities as are commensurate with Executive’s position.  During the Engagement Term, Executive will provide services in a manner that will faithfully and diligently further the business of the Company and will devote a substantial portion of Executive’s business time, attention and energy thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Executive from managing his investments, other business affairs and other matters or serving on civic or charitable boards or committees, provided that no such activities unduly interfere with the performance of his obligations under this Agreement, provided that Executive shall honor the non competition and non solicitation terms as per Section 14 below.  During the Engagement Term, Executive agrees to disclose to the Company those other companies of which he is a member of the Board of Directors, an executive officer, or a consultant.

 

3.  Term.  The term of Executive’s engagement under this Agreement shall commence as of the date above (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for a period of three (3) years, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 8 hereof.  The term of Executive’s engagement shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1) year periods until the Executive or the Company delivers to the other party a written notice of their intent not to renew the “Engagement Term,” such written notice to be delivered at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-effective Engagement Term: the period commencing as of the Effective Date and ending three (3) years from the Effective Date or such later date to which the term of Executive’s engagement under the Agreement shall have been extended is referred to herein as the

 

 

“Engagement Term” and the end of the Engagement Term is referred to herein as the “Expiration Date.”

 

4.  Base Compensation.  The Company shall pay to Executive a base compensation (the “Base Compensation”) of $220,000 per year (prorated for any partial year), payable in equal bimonthly installments.  Unless agreed by the Executive in writing, in no event shall the Base Salary decrease during the Engagement Term.  In addition, each year during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be reviewed for purposes of determining the appropriateness of increasing his Base Compensation hereunder.  For purposes of the Agreement, the term “Base Compensation” as of any point in time shall refer to the Base Compensation as adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.

 

5.  Target Bonus.  In addition to his Base Compensation, Executive shall be given the opportunity to earn an annual bonus (the “Bonus”) of up to 25% of Base Compensation.  The Bonus shall be earned by Executive upon the Company’s achievement of performance milestones for a fiscal year (in each case, the “Target Year”) to be mutually agreed upon by the Executive and the Board or its compensation committee within 90 days after the Effective Date; provided, however, that in the event the Board or its compensation committee in good faith extends such date, such extension shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement.  In the event Executive is retained by the Company for less than the full Target Year for which a Bonus is earned pursuant to this Section 5, Executive shall be entitled to receive a pro-rated Bonus for such Target Year based on the number of days Executive was retained by the Company during such Target Year divided by 365.  The determinations of the Board or its compensation committee with respect to Bonuses will be final and binding.

 

6.  Executive Benefits.  Executive shall be entitled to participate in the executive benefit plans and programs of the Company, if any, on the same terms and conditions as other similarly-situated Executive, to the extent that Executive’s position, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make Executive eligible to participate in such plans.  In the alternative, Executive shall receive the monetary equivalent for such Executive Benefits.

 

7.  Stock Option Grant.  100,000 qualified stock options (the “Initial Options”) shall be granted to Executive under SEC rule 701 and pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan upon

 

 

commencement of the Engagement Term.  Such options will have an exercise price equal to fair market value per share on the date of grant and will vest annually in equal amounts over a period of three (3) years, with 33,333.33 shares vesting on each one-year anniversary of the date of grant.  The option agreement will include (i) a Change of Control provision whereby as of immediately prior to a Change of Control of the Company, all of the stock options will vest and become fully exercisable and a termination provision whereby in the event Executive’s engagement is terminated voluntarily or for Cause by the Company, the unvested stock options will expire forthwith but if such engagement is terminated for any other reason (except death or Disability), the options may not be exercised at any time later than six (6) months after such termination of Executive’s engagement.  If Executive’s engagement is terminated by death or Disability, the options may be exercised within a period of one (1) year after such termination.

 

8.  Termination.

 

(a)  Termination by the Company.  Subject to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 9, the Company may terminate Executive’s engagement at any time and for any reason (or no reason), and with or without Cause, and without prejudice to any other right or remedy to which the Company or Executive may be entitled at law or in equity or under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after six (6) months from the Effective Date, in the event the Company desires to terminate the Executive’s engagement without Cause, the Company shall give the Executive not less than sixty (60) days advance written notice.  Executive’s engagement shall terminate automatically in the event of his death.

have the right to terminate the engagement of Executive by providing written notice of the effective date of such termination.

13.  Confidential Information.  Executive recognizes and acknowledges that by reason of Executive’s engagement by and service to the Company before, during and, if applicable, after the Engagement Term, Executive will have access to certain confidential and proprietary information relating to the Company’s business, which may include, but is not limited to, trade secrets, trade “know-how,” product development techniques and plans, formulas, customer lists and addresses, financing services, funding programs, cost and pricing information, marketing and sales techniques, strategy and programs, computer programs and software and financial information (collectively referred to herein as “Confidential Information”).  Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and Executive covenants that he will not, unless expressly authorized in writing by the Company, at any time during the course of Executive’s engagement use any Confidential Information or divulge or disclose any Confidential Information to any person, firm or corporation except in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties for and on behalf of the Company and in a manner consistent with the Company’s policies regarding Confidential Information. Executive also covenants that at any time after the termination of such engagement, directly or indirectly, he will not use any Confidential Information or divulge or disclose any Confidential Information to any person, firm or corporation, unless such information is in the public domain through no fault of Executive or except when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information.  All written Confidential Information (including, without limitation, in any computer or other electronic format) which comes into Executive’s possession during the course of Executive’s engagement shall remain the property of the Company.  Unless expressly authorized in writing by the Company, Executive shall not remove any written Confidential Information from the Company’s premises, except in

 

 

connection with the performance of Executive’s duties for and on behalf of the Company and in a manner consistent with the Company’s policies regarding Confidential Information.  Upon termination of Executive’s engagement, the Executive agrees to immediately return to the Company all written Confidential Information (including, without limitation, in any computer or other electronic format) in Executive’s possession.  As a condition of Executive’s engagement with the Company and in order to protect the Company’s interest in such proprietary information, the Company shall require Executive’s execution of a Confidentiality Agreement and Inventions Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

14.  Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

 

(a)  Non-Compete.  The Executive hereby covenants and agrees that during the Engagement Term and so long as the Executive’s Engagement Term is at least six (6) months, for a period of one year following the Expiration Date, the Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, whether or not for compensation, engage in any business activity, or have any interest in any person, firm, corporation or business, through a subsidiary or parent entity or other entity (whether as a shareholder, agent, joint venture, security holder, trustee, partner, Executive, creditor lending credit or money for the purpose of establishing or operating any such business, partner or otherwise) with any Competing Business in the Covered Area.  For the purpose of this Section 14(a), (i) “Competing Business” means any pharmaceutical, bio-pharmaceutical or biotechnology company, any contract manufacturer, any research laboratory or other company or entity (whether or not organized for profit) that has, or is seeking to develop, one or more products or therapies that is related to virology and (ii) “Covered Area” means all geographical areas of the United States and other foreign jurisdictions where Company then has offices and/or sells its products directly or indirectly through distributors and/or other sales agents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may own shares of companies whose securities are publicly traded, so long as ownership of such securities do not constitute more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of any such company.

 

 

(b)  Non-Solicitation.  The Executive further agrees that during the Engagement Term, and for a period of one (1) year from the Expiration Date, the Executive will not divert any business of the Company and/or its affiliates or any customers or suppliers of the Company and/or the Company’s and/or its affiliates’ business to any other person, entity or competitor, or induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any person to leave his or her employment with the Company and/or its affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to a general advertisement or solicitation program that is not specifically targeted at such employees.

 

(c)  Remedies.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that his obligations provided herein are necessary and reasonable in order to protect the Company and its affiliates and their respective business and the Executive expressly agrees that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate the Company and/or its affiliates for any breach by the Executive of his covenants and agreements set forth herein.  Accordingly, the Executive agrees and acknowledges that any such violation or threatened violation of this Section 14 will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, the Company and its affiliates shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the threatened breach of this Section 14 or the continuation of any such breach by the Executive without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

15.  Engagement Relationship.  Executive’s engagement with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either Executive or the Company may terminate Executive’s engagement at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause or Good Reason in accordance with the Notice provisions as provided for in Section 8.  Any contrary representations that may have been made to Executive are superseded by this Agreement.  This is the full and complete agreement between Executive and the Company on this term.  Although Executive’s duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of Executive’s engagement may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive).

 

 

16.  Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

(a)  Modifications; No Waiver.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive).  No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

 

(b)  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties, oral or written.  No modification, termination or attempted waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the party against whom such modification, termination or waiver is sought to be enforced.
