	6.0% SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE, DUE APRIL 15, 2027

	 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FIRST BUSINESS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [                 , [type of entity]] [or] [            [Name]                   ], an individual with an address of                [Address]             , or such individual’s registered assigns,] or any holder hereof from time to time (the “Holder”), at such place as may be designated in writing by the Holder, the principal sum of [                ] DOLLARS ($[          ]) on April 15, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from the date hereof (the “Original Issuance Date”) or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest on this Debenture (or any predecessor Debenture) has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on  January 15, April 15, July 15, and 

October 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) from and after the date hereof, beginning on July 15, 2017, and at maturity, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. 

1.

This Subordinated Debenture (this “Debenture”) is one of a duly authorized series of subordinated debentures of the Company with a minimum aggregate principal amount of $6.235 million (collectively, the “Debentures”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to a Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, herein referred to as the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and each of the holders of the Debentures. Reference is hereby made to the Purchase Agreement for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the holders of the Debentures. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Purchase Agreement. The Company is issuing the Debentures as part of a private placement to investors who qualify as an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.

2.

This Debenture bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid via electronic funds transfer denominated in U.S. dollars to the designated account of the person in whose name this Debenture (or any predecessor Debenture) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date (the “Regular Record Date”) for such interest, which shall be the day of the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity on this Debenture shall be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture (or any predecessor Debenture) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (the “Special Record Date”) to be fixed by the Company, notice of which shall be given to the holders of Debentures not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner.

3.

In case any provision in this Debenture 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.

4.

The Company will not appoint a trustee with respect to this Debenture. Accordingly, the Holder will be responsible for enforcing the Holder’s rights under the Purchase Agreement and this Debenture. Any payments made pursuant to this Debenture will be made directly by the Company, or by one of the Banks on behalf of the Company, to the Holder.

5.

The rights of the Holder to the principal sum hereunder or any part hereof and to any accrued interest thereon shall remain subject and subordinate in right of payment to the claims of: (i) creditors of the Company holding senior indebtedness, which shall include, 

at a minimum, the following: (A) all borrowed and purchased money (except such borrowed or purchased money that by its terms or the terms of this Debenture expressly ranks pari passu with, or junior to, this Debenture); (B) similar obligations arising from off-balance sheet guaranties and direct credit substitutes; and (C) obligations associated with derivative products such as interest and foreign exchange rate contracts, commodity contracts, and similar arrangements; and (ii) general creditors (collectively, “Senior Claims”). Upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, no payment of principal, interest or premium (including post-default interest) shall be due and payable under the terms of this Debenture until all Senior Claims shall have been paid in full. The Debentures rank equally among themselves and equally with all of the Company’s other present or future unsecured subordinated debt, except: (i) any of its unsecured subordinated debt which may be expressly stated to be subordinated to the Debentures; and (ii) the junior subordinated debentures issued to FBFS Statutory Trust II, which rank junior to the Debentures.

6.

This Debenture is not subject to any sinking fund.

7.

The Company shall not be required to pay any additional amounts on this Debenture to compensate any Holder or beneficial owner for any United States tax withheld from payments of principal or interest on this Debenture.

8.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

9.

If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Company shall pay interest on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, and without any interest or other payment with respect to the delay. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest, if any, shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date. For purposes of this Debenture, the term “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or any other day on which banking institutions in Madison, Wisconsin, are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

10.

The principal and interest on this Debenture shall be payable on the Maturity Date via electronic funds transfer of immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Debenture at the headquarters of the Company located in Madison, Wisconsin, or at such other place or places as the Company may designate from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions which the Company may impose on the presentation and surrender of the Debenture in accordance with its normal procedures.

11.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal or interest on this Debenture, for any claim based thereon, or otherwise in respect thereof, against any past, present or future shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director of the Company or of any successor corporation.

12.

An event of default (“Event of Default”) in respect of this Debenture shall occur only if: (i) (A) the Company applies for, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, 

receiver, conservator or liquidator for itself under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended or recodified (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or in the absence of such application, consent or acquiescence, a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator is appointed for the Company under the Bankruptcy Code, and is not discharged within 30 days, (B) any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other proceeding or any dissolution, liquidation, or conservatorship proceeding is instituted by or against the Company under the Bankruptcy Code, and, if instituted against the Company, is consented to or acquiesced in by the Company or remains for 30 days undismissed, or (C) the Company is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented from conducting all or any material part of its business under the Bankruptcy Code; or (ii) one or more of the Banks applies for, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a receiver for itself or, in the absence of such application, consent or acquiescence, a receiver is appointed for one or more of the Banks and is not discharged within 30 days. Upon an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly mail notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default to the Holder of this Debenture. The Holder may, however, waive any Event of Default and its consequences.

13.

If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the receipt of any necessary regulatory approval, and unless the principal of the Debenture has already become due and payable, the Holder may declare the principal hereof, together with any unpaid accrued interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately upon written notice of the Event of Default to the Company. There shall be no right of acceleration in the case of a default in the payment of principal or interest hereon or the performance of any of the Company’s other obligations hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement.

14.

If the Company fails to make payment of principal or interest hereon (and, in the case of payment of interest, continues such failure to pay for 30 days), the Company shall, upon demand of the Holder, pay to the Holder of this Debenture the whole amount then due and payable on this Debenture, with interest on the overdue amount at the rate borne by this Debenture. This demand is not an acceleration of this Debenture. If the Company fails to pay such amount upon such demand, the Holder may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the overdue amount.

15.

At any time after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, and subject to any necessary regulatory approval, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to redeem this Debenture, in whole or in part, without penalty, by the payment of 100% of the outstanding principal plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the Company may redeem this Debenture at any time upon the occurrence of: (i) a Tier 2 capital event, which for purposes hereof means the receipt by the Company of a legal opinion from counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that this Debenture does not constitute, or within 90 days of the date of such legal opinion will not constitute, Tier 2 capital; (ii) a tax event, which for purposes hereof means the receipt by the Company of a legal opinion from counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest paid by the Company on this Debenture is not, or, within 90 days of the date of such legal opinion, will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes; or (iii) an investment company event, which for purposes hereof means the 

receipt by the Company of a legal opinion from counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company is or, within 90 days of the date of such legal opinion will be, considered an “investment company” that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Any partial redemption of the Debentures shall be pro rata among all Holders of the Debentures. If the Company redeems less than all of the Debentures at any time, the Company will select the Debentures to be redeemed in principal amounts of $10,000 and any integral multiples of $10,000 in excess thereof. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 10, but not more than 60, days before the redemption date to each Holder of Debentures at such Holder’s registered address. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Debentures or portions of them called for redemption. This Debenture is not subject to redemption at the option of Holder.

16.

The Debentures will be issued in denominations of $10,000 and any integral multiple thereof, but the minimum investment by any Holder is $100,000, or such other lesser amount as the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit.

17.

Notices to the Holder of this Debenture shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the Holder as it appears on the Company’s Debenture register. All notices, demands and communications of every nature to the Company provided for herein shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to First Business Financial Services, Inc., 401 Charmany Drive, Madison, WI 53719, Attention: Edward G. Sloane, Jr., Chief Financial Officer. Notices to the Holder shall be deemed given when mailed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and notices to the Company shall be deemed given when actually received by the Company.

18.

Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Debenture, the Company shall, at the Holder’s expense, execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Debenture in a principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Debenture, dated the date to which interest has been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Debenture; provided that: (i) in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, the Holder shall have delivered to the Company an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company indemnifying and holding the Company harmless from any and all liability, claim or damage resulting from such loss, theft or destruction; or (ii) in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of this Debenture to the Company.

19.

If any holder of this Debenture is a depository institution, such holder expressly waives any right of offset it may have against the Company.

20.

This Debenture shall be construed in accordance with and governed in all respects by the laws and decisions of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflicts of law, except as the same may be superseded by the laws of the United States of America. If any provision of this Debenture is unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Debenture, or application of that provision to any persons or circumstances other than 

those to which it is held unenforceable, will not be affected by that unenforceability and will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

21.

Modification, amendment or supplement of certain provisions of the Debentures may be effected by the Company, upon authorization of the Company’s board of directors, without the consent of the Holder of this Debenture affected thereby to: (i) evidence succession of another entity to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the Company’s obligations under this Debenture and the Purchase Agreement; or (ii) add further or supplement covenants, restrictions or conditions for the protection of the Holder. No other modification, waiver, estoppel, amendment, discharge or change to this Debenture will be valid unless it is in writing and signed by both the Company and the Holder. Under no circumstances may the Company enter into an agreement with the Holder for the purpose of changing the date of maturity or the terms of subordination of this Debenture without prior regulatory consent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Debenture to be signed in its name by its authorized officer the day and year first above written.

 (d)    On the 2047
Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
  

	 	(i)	accept for payment all 2047 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to such offer; 

  

	 	(ii)	deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2047 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and 

 

	 	(iii)	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the 2047 Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate of the Company stating the aggregate principal amount of 2047 Notes or portions thereof being
repurchased by the Company. 

 (e)    Upon receipt of the required funds, the Paying Agent will promptly
distribute to each Holder of 2047 Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such 2047 Notes deposited with the Paying Agent by the Company, the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon the execution and delivery by the Company of such 2047
Notes, will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2047 Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any 2047 Notes surrendered; provided that each new 2047 Note will be in a
principal amount of an integral multiple of $1,000.00. 
 (f)    The Company shall not be required to make an offer to
repurchase the 2047 Notes upon a 2047 Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party
purchases all 2047 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any 2047 Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the 2047 Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default in
respect of any series of notes under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of all or any portion of the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2047 Notes or portions thereof properly tendered in connection with a 2047 Change of
Control Repurchase Event. 
 (g)    Solely for purposes of this Section 410 in connection with the 2047 Notes, the
following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 “2047 Below Investment Grade Ratings Event” means that on any day
commencing 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which period will be extended following
consummation of a Change of 

  
 -15- 

 
Control for up to an additional 60 days for so long as either of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change), the 2047 Notes are downgraded to a
rating that is below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies (regardless of whether the rating prior to such downgrade was Investment Grade or below Investment Grade). 

“2047 Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a 2047 Below Investment Grade
Ratings Event. 
 Section 411.    Appointment of Agents. 

Regions Bank will initially be the Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the 2047 Notes and will act as such only at its offices at Regions
Bank, Corporate Trust Department, 1900 5th Avenue North, 26th Floor, Birmingham, Alabama 35203; or any other address that the Securities
Registrar and Paying Agent may designate with respect to itself from time to time by notice to the Trustee, the Company and the Holders. 

Section 412.    Securities Filings. 

(a)    Notwithstanding that the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act or is otherwise required to report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for in those annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission, so long as the 2047 Notes are outstanding
(unless defeased in a legal defeasance), the Company will (x) file with the Commission (unless the Commission will not accept such filing), and (y) make available to the Trustee and, upon written request, the Holders of the 2047 Notes,
without cost to any such Holder, from the date that the 2047 Notes are issued: 
  

	 	(i)	within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act (including all applicable extension periods), an annual report on Form 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) containing
the information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable form); and 

  

	 	(ii)	within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act (including all applicable extension periods), a quarterly report on Form 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form)
containing the information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable form). 

(b)    In the event that the Company is not permitted to file its annual or quarterly reports with the Commission pursuant
to the Exchange Act, the Company shall nevertheless make available such Exchange Act reports to the Trustee and the Holders of the 2047 Notes as if the Company was subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act (including all applicable extension periods), which requirement may be satisfied by posting such reports on the Company’s website within the applicable time periods specified in Sections
412(a)(i) and (a)(ii) above. 

  
 -16- 

 (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the availability of the reports
referred to in Sections 412(a)(i) and (a)(ii) above on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system, including the Commission’s Interactive Data Electronic Application system) and the
Company’s website within the applicable time periods specified in Sections 412(a)(i) and (a)(ii) above will be deemed to satisfy the delivery obligations under this Section 412. 

(d)    Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee and, if applicable, to the Security Registrar and
Paying Agent is for informational purposes only and their respective receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s or any other Person’s compliance with any of its covenants under the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture or the 2047 Notes (as to which the Trustee, Security Registrar and Paying Agent are entitled to rely exclusively on
Officers’ Certificates). None of the Trustee, the Security Registrar or Paying Agent shall be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s or any other Person’s compliance with the covenants
described herein or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under the Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture.

 (FORM OF REVERSE OF FLOATING RATE NOTE) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”), as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 15, 2017, between the
Company and Regions Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement
of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, 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. 
 Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger (as defined in the
Seventh Supplemental Indenture), the Company shall be required to redeem the Floating Rate Notes, in whole, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes being redeemed to, but excluding the date of such redemption, in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Seventh Supplemental Indenture. 

The Company will have the right to redeem the Floating Rate Notes, in whole, at any time before the Redemption Trigger Date (as defined in the
Seventh Supplemental Indenture), at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes being
redeemed to, but excluding, the date of such redemption, if the Company determines, in its judgment, the Acquisition (as defined in the Seventh Supplemental Indenture) will not be consummated on or before the Redemption Trigger Date, in accordance
with the provisions set forth in the Seventh Supplemental Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

This Security will bear interest for each interest period at a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.60%, as determined by the
calculation agent on the applicable interest determination date for such interest period. The calculation agent will be Regions Bank until such time as the Company appoints a successor calculation agent. The interest determination date for an
interest period will be the second London business day preceding the first day of such interest period. The initial interest period for this Security will be the period from and including the original issue date to but excluding the initial interest
payment date. Each subsequent interest period shall be the period beginning on, and including, an interest payment date and ending on, but not including, the following interest payment date. Promptly upon determination, the calculation agent will
inform the Trustee and the Company of the interest rate for the next interest period. Absent manifest error, the determination of the interest rates for this Security by the calculation agent shall be binding and conclusive on the Holders of such
Security, the Trustee and the Company. A London business day is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 

  
 A-3 

 On any interest determination date, LIBOR will be equal to the offered rate for deposits in U.S.
dollars having an index maturity of three months, in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as such rate appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest determination date. If on an interest
determination date, such rate does not appear on the “Reuters Page LIBOR01” as of 11:00 a.m., London time, or if the “Reuters Page LIBOR01” is not available on such date, the calculation agent will obtain such rate from Bloomberg
L.P.’s page “BBAM.” 
 If no offered rate appears on “Reuters Page LIBOR01” or Bloomberg L.P.’s page
“BBAM” on an interest determination date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Company will select four major banks in the London interbank market and shall request each of their principal London offices to provide a quotation
of the rate at which three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at that time, that is representative of single transactions at that time.
If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the Company will select three major banks in New York City and shall request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered
by them at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index maturity of three months for the applicable interest period in an amount of at least
$1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the rate of LIBOR for the next interest period will be set equal to
the rate of LIBOR for the then current interest period. 
 All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for this
Security will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 3.876545% (or .03876545) would be
rounded to 3.87655% (or .0387655)), and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. 

The interest rate on this Security will 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. 
 Upon request from any Holder of this Security, the calculation agent will provide the interest
rate in effect on this Security, for the current interest period and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next interest period. 

Interest on this Security will accrue from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance of the notes. 
 Interest on this Security will be paid to but excluding the
relevant interest payment date. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in an interest period and a 360-day year. 

  
 A-4 

 If an interest payment date for this Security falls on a day that is not a business day, the
interest payment date will be made on the next succeeding business day unless such next succeeding business day would be in the following month, in which case, the interest payment date shall be, notwithstanding Section 113 of the Indenture,
the immediately preceding business day. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness
of the Company on this Security and (ii) certain restrictive covenants and other covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security. In
addition, upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1301 of the Indenture to obtain a covenant defeasance with respect to this Security, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 211 of the
Seventh Supplemental Indenture (in addition to the Sections provided in Section 1303 of the Indenture) with respect to this Security on and after the date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1304 of the Indenture are satisfied.

 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company 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. 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 Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Security. 
 Except as set forth in Article Thirteen of the Indenture, no reference herein to the Indenture and no
provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the
coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of
this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its 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, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

  
 A-5 

 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000.00 and multiples of $1,000.00 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. 
 No service charge
shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
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 Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 (FORM OF REVERSE OF 2047 NOTE) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of December 11, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”), as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 15, 2017, between the
Company and Regions Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement
of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, 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. 
 At any time prior to December 15, 2046 (the “Par Call Date”),
the Securities are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) one hundred
percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Securities and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed that would be due if such Securities matured on the
Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued on the Securities to be redeemed to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 25 basis points, and in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date,
but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred
to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 
 In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Securities are
subject to redemption in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, from time to time at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest on the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 

The Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) will calculate the Redemption Price. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having
a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Securities matured on the Par Call Date) that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity with the remaining term of those Securities (assuming, for this purpose, that the Securities matured on the Par Call Date). 

  
 B-3 

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to the Securities on any
Redemption Date, (i) the average of the four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains
fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment
Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee as directed by the Company. 
 “Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and the Securities on any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue for such Securities (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such
Redemption Date. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated and its successors, (ii) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and its successors and (iii) two Primary Treasury Dealers (as defined below) selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be
a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall replace that former dealer with another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of the yields in each statistical release
for the immediately preceding week designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities
adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—nominal,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or
after the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such
yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding 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 will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. No Securities of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. 

In connection with any redemption of Securities, any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more
conditions precedent. If such redemption is 

  
 B-4 

 
subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice of such redemption shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time
as any or all such conditions shall have been satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date
so delayed. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture
contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (ii) certain restrictive covenants and other covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with
certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1301 of the Indenture to obtain a covenant defeasance with respect to this Security,
the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 410 of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (in addition to the Sections provided in Section 1303 of the Indenture) with respect to this Security on and after the date the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 1304 of the Indenture are satisfied. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company 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. 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 Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 Except as set forth in Article
Thirteen of the Indenture, no reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium
and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the
principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its
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, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

  
 B-5 

 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000.00 and multiples of $1,000.00 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. 
 No service charge
shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
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 Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
