 Fifth Third Capital Trust VII , a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), has offered to the public its trust preferred
securities known as 8.875% Trust Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”), which are beneficial interests in the Trust, and proposes to invest the proceeds from such offering, together with the proceeds of the
issuance and sale by the Trust to the Company of its common securities (the “Trust Common Securities” and, together with the Trust Preferred Securities, the “Trust Securities”), in the JSNs (as defined herein).

 Section 9.1 of the Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holder, enter into a
supplemental indenture to establish the form or terms of securities of any series as permitted by Section 2.1 or 3.1 thereof. 
 Pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 3.1 of the Indenture, the Company desires to provide for the establishment of a new series of Securities under the Indenture, the form and substance of such Securities and the terms, provisions and conditions
thereof to be set forth as provided in the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. 
 The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Indenture to the effect execution of this Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by the Indenture. 
 The Company has requested that the Trustee execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture and satisfy all requirements necessary to make this
Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument in accordance with its terms, and to make the JSNs, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, the valid obligations of the Company and all acts and things necessary have
been done and performed to make this Supplemental Indenture enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized in all respects. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
WITNESSETH: For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the JSNs by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the JSNs, as
follows:

settlement of all deferred interest pursuant to Section 2.5(c), whether it occurs on an Interest Payment Date or another date, will immediately
terminate the Deferral Period. 
 “Eligible Proceeds” means, for each relevant Interest Payment Date, the net proceeds
(after deducting underwriters’ or placement agents’ fees, commissions or discounts and other expenses relating to the issuance or sale) the Company has received during the 180-day period prior to such Interest Payment Date from the

of the issuer will redeem or purchase such Qualifying Preferred Stock only with the proceeds of replacement capital securities that have terms and provisions at the time of redemption or purchase that are as or more equity-like than the Qualifying
Preferred Stock, raised within 180 days prior to the applicable redemption or purchase date. Notwithstanding the use of the term Intent-Based Replacement Disclosure in the definition of Qualifying Preferred Stock, the requirement in such definition

Company Act of 1956, as amended. 
 “Interest Payment Date” has the meaning specified in Section 2.4.

 “LIBOR” means, with respect to any Interest Period, the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S.
dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period that appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date for that Interest Period. If such rate does not
appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period, as applicable, and in a principal amount of not
less than $1,000,000, are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company), at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on
the LIBOR Determination Date for that Interest Period. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to that

Period, as applicable, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000. However, if fewer than three banks
selected by the Calculation Agent to provide quotations are quoting as described above, LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the same as LIBOR as determined for the previous Interest Period or, in the case of the Interest Period beginning on
May 15, 2058, 3.875%. The establishment of LIBOR for each Interest Period, as applicable, by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. 
 “LIBOR Determination Date” means the second London Banking Day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant Interest Period.

the Common Stock or Preferred Stock specifically) on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange, or in the over-the-counter market, on which Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock is then listed or traded shall have been
suspended or the settlement of such trading generally shall have been materially disrupted or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market by the relevant exchange or by any other regulatory body or governmental agency
having jurisdiction, and the establishment of such minimum prices materially disrupts or otherwise has a material adverse effect on trading in, or the issuance and sale of, Qualifying APM Securities; 
 (ii) The Company would be required to obtain the consent or approval of its shareholders or a regulatory body (including, without
limitation, any securities exchange) or governmental authority to issue or sell Qualifying APM Securities and such consent or approval has not yet been obtained notwithstanding the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such
consent or approval;

business of the Company or (b) the disclosure relates to a previously undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction, the disclosure of which would impede the ability of the Company to consummate such transaction, provided that
no single suspension period contemplated by this paragraph (vii) shall exceed 90 consecutive days and multiple suspension periods contemplated by this paragraph (vii) shall not exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 180-day period; or

 (viii) The Company reasonably believes that the offering document for such offer and sale of Qualifying APM Securities
would not be in compliance with a rule or regulation of the Commission (for reasons other than those referred to in paragraph (vii) above) and the Company is unable to comply with such rule or regulation or such compliance is unduly burdensome,
provided that no single suspension period contemplated by this paragraph (viii) shall exceed 90 consecutive days and multiple suspension periods contemplated by this paragraph (viii) shall not exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 180-day
period.

is not reasonably reflective of the actual bid-side price of the Treasury Security prevailing at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on that Trading Day, then Treasury Price will instead mean the bid-side price for the Treasury Security at or around 3:30
p.m., New York City time, on that Trading Day (expressed on a next Trading Day settlement basis) as determined by the Treasury Dealer through such alternative means as the Treasury Dealer considers to be appropriate under the circumstances.

 ARTICLE II 
 GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE JSNS 
 Section 2.1 Designation, Principal Amount and Authorized Denomination 
 There is hereby
authorized a series of Securities designated the Junior Subordinated Notes (the “JSNs”), the amount of which to be issued will be as set forth in any Corporation Order for the authentication and delivery of JSNs pursuant to the
Indenture. The denominations in which JSNs will be issuable are $25 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. The maximum aggregate principal amount of JSNs that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture and this Supplemental
Indenture is $350,010,000 (except for JSNs authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or exchange for, or in lieu of, other JSNs pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 9.6 or 11.6 of the Indenture or Section 5.1 of this
Supplemental Indenture); provided, however, that the Company may from time to time execute and deliver, and upon Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver under the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture up to
$50,000,000 additional principal amount of JSNs, which JSNs may accrue interest from a different date than the JSNs, as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Indenture, so long as the Company reasonably determines that the additional
JSNs so authenticated and delivered will be fungible for United States federal income tax purposes and, if the JSNs are held by the Property Trustee, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Amended Declaration with respect to
the issuance of additional Trust Preferred Securities. 
 Section 2.2 Maturity 
 The principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all outstanding JSNs will be due and payable on May 15, 2068 or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the following Business Day (the “Stated Maturity Date”), regardless of the amount of Qualifying APM Securities the Company may have issued and sold by that time. 
 Section 2.3 Form 
 The JSNs will
be issued in fully registered definitive form without interest coupons. Principal of and interest on the JSNs issued in definitive form will be payable, the transfer of such JSNs will be registrable and such JSNs will be exchangeable for JSNs
bearing identical terms and provisions and notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the JSNs and the Indenture may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company appoints the Trustee as its agent for the
foregoing purposes, provided that payment of interest 

  

					
		 	-14-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 
may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Holder at such address as will appear in the Securities Register or by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the bank account number of the Holder specified in writing by the Holder not less than 10 days before the relevant Interest Payment Date and entered in the Securities Register by the Securities Registrar,
provided, further, that if the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, is the sole Holder of the JSNs then payment of interest will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account number specified by the
Property Trustee. The JSNs may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange at the Securities Registrar Office. 
 Section 2.4
Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Dates 
 (a) Rate of Interest. The JSNs will bear interest at the rate of
(i) 8.875% per annum, from and including May 6, 2008 to but excluding May 15, 2058, and (ii) LIBOR plus 5.00% thereafter. The interest will accrue from May 6, 2008 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be computed on the basis of (i) a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months with
respect to any Interest Period ending on or prior to May 15, 2058 and (ii) a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed with respect to any other Interest Period. Accrued interest that is not paid on the applicable Interest Payment
Date (after giving effect to the adjustments described in the second to last sentence of Section 2.4(b)), including interest deferred pursuant to Section 2.5, will bear Additional Interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the
then-applicable rate described in this paragraph from the relevant Interest Payment Date, compounded on each subsequent Interest Payment Date. 
 (b) Interest Payment Date. Subject to the other provisions hereof, interest on the JSNs will be payable (i) quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and
November 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2008 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date prior to the regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date in May, 2058 occurs on a day that is
not a Business Day, the payment of interest for such Interest Payment Date shall be made (or such interest shall be made available for payment) on the following Business Day without accrual of additional interest. If any Interest Payment Date on or
after May 15, 2058 would otherwise occur on a day that is not Business Day, the applicable Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the following Business Day. 
 Section 2.5 Interest Deferral 
 (a) Option to Defer Interest Payments. The
following provisions shall apply to the JSNs in lieu of Section 3.12 and the first paragraph of Section 10.7 of the Indenture: 
 (i) The Company will have the right at any time and from time to time, to defer the payment of interest on the JSNs for one or more consecutive Interest Periods up to 10 years; provided that no Deferral Period
will extend 

  

					
		 	-15-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 
beyond the Stated Maturity Date or the earlier redemption of the JSNs. Upon termination of any Deferral Period and upon the payment of all deferred interest
then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Deferral Period pursuant to this Section 2.5. 
 (ii) At the end of any Deferral Period, the Company will pay all deferred interest on the JSNs to the Persons in whose names the JSNs are registered in the Securities Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect
to the Interest Payment Date at the end of such Deferral Period. 
 (iii) The Company may elect to pay interest on any
Interest Payment Date during any Deferral Period to the extent permitted by Section 2.5(b). 
 (b) Payment of Deferred
Interest. The Company will not pay deferred interest on the JSNs before the Stated Maturity Date or at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing from any source other than Eligible Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) the Company may pay current interest during a Deferral Period or at any other time from any available funds and (ii) if a Supervisory Event has occurred and is continuing, then the Company may (but is not obligated to) pay deferred
interest with cash from any source. In addition, if the Company sells Qualifying APM Securities pursuant to Section 2.7 but a Supervisory Event arises from the Federal Reserve disapproving the use of the proceeds to pay deferred interest, the
Company may use the proceeds for other purposes and continue to defer interest on the JSNs. 
 (c) Business Combination
Exception. If the Company is involved in a Business Combination where immediately after its consummation more than 50% of the voting stock of the Person formed by such Business Combination, or the Person that is the surviving entity of such
Business Combination, or the Person to whom such properties and assets are conveyed, transferred or leased in such Business Combination, is owned by the shareholders of the other party to such Business Combination, then Sections 2.5(b) and
Section 2.7 will not apply to any Deferral Period that is terminated on the next Interest Payment Date following the date of consummation of such Business Combination (or, if later, at any time within 90 days following the date of consummation
of the Business Combination). The Company will establish a Special Record Date for the payment of any deferred interest pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. 
 (d) Notice of Deferral. The Company will give written notice of its election to begin or extend any Deferral Period, (x) if
the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, is the sole Holder of the JSNs, to the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee no more than 30 and no less than five Business Days before the earlier of (A) the next succeeding date on which the
distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are payable and (B) the date the Property Trustee is required to give notice to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of the record or payment date for the related distribution, or (y) if
the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, is not the sole Holder of the JSNs, to each Holder of the 

  

					
		 	-16-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 
JSNs and the Trustee no more than 30 and no less than five Business Days before the next Interest Payment Date. Notice of the Company’s election of a
Deferral Period will be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than three Business Days after the Property Trustee receives written notice from the Company to each holder of Trust Securities at such
holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. 
 Section 2.6 Dividend and Other Payment Stoppages 
 (a) During Deferral Period. So long as any JSNs remain Outstanding, if the Company has given notice of its election to defer
interest payments on the JSNs but the related Deferral Period has not yet commenced or a Deferral Period is continuing, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to: 
 (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares
of capital stock of the Company; 
 (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
purchase or redeem any Parity Securities or any debt securities or guarantees of the Company that ranks pari passu with or junior in interest upon liquidation to the JSNs; or 
 (iii) make any payments under any guarantee by the Company that ranks junior to the Guarantee Agreement; 
 provided, however, the restrictions in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply to: 
 (1) any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares of the Company’s capital stock in connection with (A) any employment
contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, (B) a dividend reinvestment or shareholder purchase plan, (C) transactions effected by or for the
account of customers of the Company or any of its affiliates or in connection with the distribution, trading or market-making in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities or (D) the issuance of the Company’s capital stock, or securities
convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock, as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into before the applicable Deferral Period, 
 (2) any exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock, or the capital stock of one of its Subsidiaries, for any other class or series of its capital stock, or of any class or series
of its indebtedness for any class or series of its capital stock, 
  

					
		 	-17-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 (3) any purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock
pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the securities being converted or exchanged, 
 (4)
any declaration of a dividend in connection with any shareholder rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any shareholder rights plan, or the redemption or purchase of rights pursuant thereto, 
 (5) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or stock issuable upon exercise of such
warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks equally with or junior to such stock, 
 (6) any payment of current or deferred interest on Parity Securities that is made pro rata to the amounts due on such Parity Securities (including the JSNs), provided that such payments are made in
accordance with Section 2.7(c) to the extent it applies, and any payment of deferred interest on Parity Securities that, if not made, would cause the Company to breach the terms of the instrument governing such Parity Securities, or 

(7) any payment of principal of Parity Securities necessary to avoid a breach of the instrument governing the same. 
 The distribution restrictions and exceptions in this Section 2.6 will be in lieu of the distribution restrictions and exceptions in Section 3.12
of the Indenture. 
 (b) Additional Limitation upon Deferral Lasting over One Year. If any Deferral Period lasts longer
than one year, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, repurchase or acquire any securities of the Company ranking junior to or pari passu with any Qualifying APM Securities the proceeds of which were used to settle
deferred interest during the relevant Deferral Period before the first anniversary of the date on which all deferred interest on the JSNs has been paid, subject to the exceptions listed in clauses (1) through (7) of Section 2.6(a).
However, if the Company is involved in a Business Combination where immediately after its consummation more than 50% of the voting stock of the Person formed by such Business Combination, or the Person that is the surviving entity of such Business
Combination, or the Person to whom such properties and assets are conveyed, transferred or leased in such Business Combination, is owned by the shareholders of the other party to such Business Combination, then the limitation set forth in this
Section 2.6(b) will not apply to any Deferral Period that is terminated on the next Interest Payment Date following the date of consummation of such Business Combination (or if later, at any time within 90 days following the date of
consummation of the Business Combination). 
  

					
		 	-18-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 Section 2.7 Alternative Payment Mechanism 
 (a) Obligation to Issue Qualifying APM Securities. Commencing not later than the earlier of (i) the first Interest Payment
Date following the commencement of any Deferral Period on which the Company pays any current interest on the JSNs from any source of funds or (ii) the fifth anniversary of the commencement of such Deferral Period, the Company shall, subject to
Section 2.7(b) and subject to Section 2.5(c), issue one or more types of Qualifying APM Securities until the Company has raised an amount of Eligible Proceeds at least equal to the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid deferred interest
on the JSNs. Except as set forth in this Section 2.7, the Company shall apply Eligible Proceeds on the next Interest Payment Date to the payment of deferred interest. Notwithstanding (and as a qualification to) the foregoing: 
 (i) the Company shall not be required to issue Common Stock (or Qualifying Warrants if the definition of Qualifying APM Securities has
been modified to exclude Common Stock) with respect to deferred interest attributable to the first five years of any Deferral Period, if the net proceeds of any issuance of Common Stock (or Qualifying Warrants if the definition of Qualifying APM
Securities has been modified to exclude Common Stock) applied during such Deferral Period to pay interest on the JSNs together with the net proceeds of all prior issuances of Common Stock and Qualifying Warrants so applied during such Deferral
Period, would exceed an amount equal to 2% of the product of the average of the Current Stock Market Prices of the Common Stock on the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the date of issuance multiplied
by the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Company’s then most recent publicly available consolidated financial statements (the “Common Equity Issuance Cap”); provided that
the Common Equity Issuance Cap will cease to apply after the ninth anniversary of the commencement of any Deferral Period, at which point the Company must pay any deferred interest regardless of the time at which it was deferred, pursuant to this
Section 2.7, subject to the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap, Maximum Share Number and any Supervisory Event or Market Disruption Event; and provided, further, that if the Common Equity Issuance Cap is reached during a Deferral Period
and the Company subsequently repays all deferred interest, the Common Equity Issuance Cap will cease to apply at the termination of such Deferral Period and will not apply again unless and until the Company starts a new Deferral Period; 

(ii) the Company shall not be permitted to issue Qualifying Preferred Stock to pay deferred interest on the JSNs to the extent that the
net proceeds of any issuance of Qualifying Preferred Stock applied to pay interest on the JSNs, together with the net proceeds of all prior issuances of Preferred Stock so applied during the current and all prior Deferral Periods, would exceed 25%
of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding JSNs (the “Preferred Stock Issuance Cap”); and 
  

					
		 	-19-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 (iii) the Company shall not be permitted to sell more shares of Common Stock than the
Maximum Share Number. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, (x) once the Company reaches the Common Equity Issuance Cap for a
Deferral Period, the Company will not be required to issue more Common Stock (or Qualifying Warrants if the definition of Qualifying APM Securities has been modified to exclude Common Stock) during the first five years of such Deferral Period
pursuant to this Section 2.7, even if the amount referred to in clause (i) of this Section 2.7 subsequently increases because of a subsequent increase in the Current Stock Market Price of Common Stock or the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, and (y) so long as the definition of Qualifying APM Securities has not been amended to eliminate Common Stock, the sale of Qualifying Warrants to pay deferred interest is an option that may be exercised at the
Company’s sole discretion and the Company is not obligated to sell Qualifying Warrants or to apply the proceeds of any such sale to pay deferred interest on the JSNs, and no class of investors of the Company’s securities, or any other
party, may require the Company to issue Qualifying Warrants. 
 (b) Market Disruption Event and Supervisory Event. The
Company will not be required to issue Qualifying APM Securities pursuant to Section 2.7(a) and apply the Eligible Proceeds to pay deferred interest on any Interest Payment Date if the Company shall have provided to the Trustee (and to the
Property Trustee of the Trust to the extent the Trust is the sole Holder of the JSNs) no more than 15 and no less than 10 Business Days before such Interest Payment Date an Officers’ Certificate stating that (i) a Market Disruption Event
or Supervisory Event was existing after the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and (ii) either (x) the Market Disruption Event or Supervisory Event continued for the entire period from the Business Day immediately following the
preceding Interest Payment Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such Officers’ Certificate is provided or (y) the Market Disruption Event or Supervisory Event continued for only part of such period but the
Company was unable to raise sufficient Eligible Proceeds during the rest of that period to pay all accrued and unpaid interest due on the Interest Payment Date with respect to which such Officers’ Certificate is being delivered or (z) the
Supervisory Event prevents the Company from applying the net proceeds of sales of Qualifying APM Securities to pay deferred interest on such Interest Payment Date. 
 (c) Partial Payment of Deferred Interest. 
 (i) If the Company has raised some but not all Eligible Proceeds necessary to pay all deferred interest on any Interest Payment Date
pursuant to this Section 2.7, such Eligible Proceeds will be allocated to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date in chronological order based on the date each payment was first deferred, subject to the Common
Equity Issuance Cap and the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap, and payment on each installment of deferred interest will be distributed to Holders of the JSNs on a pro rata basis. 
  

					
		 	-20-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 (ii) If the Company has outstanding Parity Securities under which the Company is
obligated to sell securities that are Qualifying APM Securities and apply the net proceeds to the payment of deferred interest or distributions, then on any date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Company from those sales
and available for payment of the deferred interest and distributions will be applied to the JSNs and those other Parity Securities on a pro rata basis up to the Maximum Share Number, the Common Equity Issuance Cap and the Preferred Stock
Issuance Cap (or comparable provisions in the instruments governing those other Parity Securities) in proportion to the total amounts that are due on the JSNs and such other Parity Securities, or on such other basis as the Federal Reserve may
approve. The Company may make such pro rata payments on such Parity Securities so long as it shall have paid or deposited with the Paying Agent for the JSNs or segregated and holds in trust for payment the pro rata amount of deferred
interest payable on the JSNs. 
 (d) Qualifying APM Securities Definition Change. The Company will send written notice
to the Trustee (which notice the Trustee will promptly forward upon receipt to the Administrative Trustees) prior to the effective date of any change in the definition of Qualifying APM Securities to eliminate Common Stock or Qualifying Warrants.

 Section 2.8 Redemption of the JSNs 
 (a) Redemption. Section 11.7 of the Indenture shall not apply to the JSNs. The Company may redeem the JSNs (i) in whole
or in part, any time on or after May 15, 2013 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of JSNs being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest through the Redemption Date, (ii) in whole but not in part at any time after
the occurrence of a Tax Event, Capital Treatment Event or Investment Company Event at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of JSNs being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date and (iii) in whole but
not in part at any time after the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Redemption Price. The Company will notify the Trust of the Make-Whole Redemption Price (if applicable) promptly after the calculation
thereof and the Trustee will have no responsibility for calculating the Make-Whole Redemption Price. The Company may not redeem the JSNs in part if the principal amount of the JSNs has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded
unless all accrued and unpaid interest including deferred interest has been paid in full on all outstanding JSNs for all Interest Periods terminating on or before the Redemption Date. Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least thirty
(30) days but not more than sixty (60) days before the redemption date to each holder of JSNs to be redeemed at its registered address. 
 (b) Sinking Fund. The JSNs are not entitled to any sinking fund payments or similar provisions. 
  

					
		 	-21-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 Section 2.9 Events of Default 
 (a) Paragraphs (1) through (5) of Section 5.1 of the Indenture will not apply to the JSNs, the occurrence of an event
described therein will not be an Event of Default with respect to the JSNs, and such paragraphs are replaced with the following subparagraphs (i) through (iv), the occurrence of any of which shall be an Event of Default with respect to the
JSNs. 
 (i) the default in the payment of interest, including Additional Interest, in full on the JSNs for a period of 30
days after the conclusion of a 10-year period following the commencement of any Deferral Period; 
 (ii) the entry of a decree
or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; 
 (iii) the institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or the
consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due and its willingness to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in
furtherance of any such action; or 
 (iv) a receiver is appointed for a Major Subsidiary Depository Institution under the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act or other applicable law. 
 (b) For purposes of the Securities, each reference in
Section 5.2 of the Indenture to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(4) or 5.1(5) shall be deemed to refer to an Event of Default specified in subparagraph (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.9(a) of this Supplemental
Indenture. 
 (c) The JSNs shall not have the benefits of Section 5.3 of the Indenture. 
  

					
		 	-22-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 (d) So long as any JSNs are held by or on behalf of the Trust, the Trustee will provide
to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities such notices as it will from time to time provide under Section 6.2 of the Indenture. In addition, the Trustee will provide to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities notice of any Event of
Default or event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the JSNs within 30 days after the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of such Event of Default or other
event. 
 (e) For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available to the Trustee,
the Holders of the JSNs or the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities under the Indenture, no breach by the Company of any covenant or obligation under the Indenture or the terms of the JSNs will be an Event of Default with respect to the JSNs
other than those specified as Events of Default in Section 2.9(a). 
 (f) The Company shall not enter into any
supplemental indenture with the Trustee to add any additional event of default with respect to the JSNs to the definition of Event of Default without the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
JSNs. 
 Section 2.10 Securities Registrar; Paying Agent; Delegation of Trustee Duties 
 (a) The Company appoints Wilmington Trust Company as Securities Registrar and Paying Agent with respect to the JSNs. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee may delegate its duty to
provide such notices and to perform such other duties as may be required to be provided or performed by the Trustee under the Indenture, and, to the extent such obligation has been so delegated, the Trustee will not be responsible for monitoring the
compliance of, nor be liable for the default or misconduct of, any such designee. 
 Section 2.11 Limitation on Claims in the Event
of Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Receivership 
 Each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of the JSNs, agrees that if a Bankruptcy Event
of the Company shall occur before the redemption or repayment of such JSNs, such Holder shall have no claim for, and thus no right to receive, any deferred interest pursuant to Section 2.5 that has not been paid pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 2.7
to the extent the amount of such interest exceeds the sum of (x) the first two years of accumulated and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on such Holder’s JSNs and (y) an amount equal to such Holder’s pro
rata share of the excess, if any, of the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap over the aggregate amount of net proceeds from the sale of Qualifying Preferred Stock that the Company has applied to pay such deferred interest pursuant to Section 2.7.
Each Holder of JSNs shall be deemed to agree that, to the extent the claim for deferred interest exceeds the amount set forth in clause (x), the amount it receives in respect of such excess shall not exceed the amount it would have received 

  

					
		 	-23-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 
the claim for such excess ranked pari passu with the interests of the holders, if any, of Qualifying Preferred Stock. 
 Section 2.12 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Trust Preferred
Securities. 
 Section 5.8 of the Indenture will not apply to the JSNs. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, each Holder of the JSNs shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.8 of the Indenture) interest (including any Additional Interest) on the JSNs on the Stated Maturity Date (or in the case of redemption on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. So long as any JSNs are held by or on behalf of the Trust, any holder of the Trust Preferred Securities issued by the
Trust shall have the right, upon (i) the breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 2.7(a) to issue Qualifying APM Securities or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subparagraph (i) or (iv) of
Section 2.9(a), to institute a suit directly against the Company (a) in the case of (i) above, to enforce such obligations or for such other remedies as may be available and (b) in the case of (ii) above, for enforcement of
payment to such Holder of principal of (premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.8 of the Indenture) interest (including any Additional Interest) on the JSNs having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in
the Amended Declaration) of such Trust Preferred Securities.

 Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, Section 10.6 of the Indenture will not apply for the purposes of the JSNs. 
 The Company’s obligations under this Section 3.1 will be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, any Person to whom such debts,
obligations and costs are owed (a “Creditor”) whether or not such Creditor has received notice hereof. Any such Creditor may enforce the Company’s obligations under this Section 3.1 directly against the Company and the
Company irrevocably waives any right or remedy to require that any such Creditor take any action against the Trust or any other Person before proceeding against the Company. The Company agrees to execute such additional agreements as may be
necessary or desirable in order to give full effect to the provisions of this Section 3.1.

 FIFTH THIRD BANCORP 
 8.875% JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2068 
 FIFTH THIRD BANCORP, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Ohio (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term
includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
[                    ], or registered assigns, the principal sum of
[                    ] ($[            ]) and all accrued and unpaid interest thereof on
May 15, 2068, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day (the “Stated Maturity Date”). 
 The
Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from and including [    ], 2008, or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the principal
thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be payable (i) quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2008 (each such date,
an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate of (i) 8.875% per annum, from and including May 6, 2008 to but excluding May 15, 2058, and (ii) LIBOR plus 5.00% thereafter (computed on the basis of
(i) a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months with respect to any Interest Period ending on or prior to May 15, 2058 and (ii) a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed with respect to any other Interest Period), plus
Additional Interest, if any. Accrued interest that is not paid on the applicable Interest Payment Date (after giving effect to the adjustments described in the second to last sentence of Section 2.4(b) of the Supplemental Indenture), including
interest deferred pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Supplemental Indenture, will bear Additional Interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the then-applicable rate described in the second sentence of this paragraph, from the relevant Interest
Payment Date, compounded on each subsequent Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date prior to the regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date in May, 2058 occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest for such Interest
Payment Date shall be made (or such interest shall be made available for payment) on the following Business Day without accrual of additional interest. If any Interest Payment Date on or after May 15, 2058 would otherwise occur on a day that is
not Business Day, the applicable Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the following Business Day. A “Business Day” will mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or any other day on which banking institutions and trust
companies in New York, New York, Wilmington, Delaware or Cincinnati, Ohio, are permitted or required by any applicable law to close, or on or after May 15, 2058, a day that is not a London banking day. A “London banking day”
means any day on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars) in London, England. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment, which will be the date
that is the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Interest Payment Date falls (whether or not a Business Day). Any such interest installment not so punctually paid or duly provided for (other than interest deferred in
accordance with the next paragraph) will forthwith cease to be 

  

					
		 	-26-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 
payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof will be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days before such Special Record
Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more
fully provided in said Indenture. 
 The Company has the right at any time or from time to time during the term of this Security to defer
payment of interest on this Security for one or more consecutive Interest Periods up to 10 years; provided, however, that no Deferral Period will extend beyond the Stated Maturity Date or the earlier redemption of any Securities of
this series. Upon the termination of any Deferral Period and upon the payment of all deferred interest then due, the Company may elect to begin a new Deferral Period, subject to the above requirements. Except as provided in Section 2.7 of the
Supplemental Indenture, no interest will be due and payable during a Deferral Period except at the end thereof. 
 So long as any Securities
remain outstanding, if the Company has given notice of its election to defer interest payments on the Securities but the related Deferral Period has not yet commenced or a Deferral Period is continuing, the Company will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Company’s capital stock, (ii) make any payment of principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on or repay, purchase or redeem any debt securities or guarantees of the Company that rank upon the Company’s liquidation on a parity with this Security (including this Security, the “Parity
Securities”), or junior in interest to this Security (except for partial payments of interest with respect to the Security) or (iii) make any payments under any guarantee by the Company that ranks junior to the Guarantee Agreement
(other than (a) any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares of the Company’s capital stock in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or
more of its employees, officers, directors or consultants, (2) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder purchase plan, (3) transactions effected by or for the account of customers of the Company or any of its affiliates or in connection with
the distribution, trading or market-making in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities or (4) the issuance of the Company’s capital stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock, as consideration in an
acquisition transaction entered into before the applicable Deferral Period; (b) any exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock, or the capital stock of one of its subsidiaries, for any other class or
series of the Company’s capital stock, or any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of its capital stock; (c) any purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant
to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the securities being converted or exchanged; (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any
rights plan, or the redemption or purchase of rights pursuant thereto; (e) any dividend in the form of stock, 

  

					
		 	-27-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 
warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as
that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks equally with or junior to such stock, (f) any payment of current or deferred interest on Parity Securities that is made pro rata to the amounts due on such Parity Securities, provided
that such payments are made in accordance with Section 2.7(c) of the Supplemental Indenture to the extent it applies, and any payments of deferred interest on Parity Securities that, if not made, would cause the Company to breach the terms of
the instrument governing such Parity Securities or (g) any payment of principal on Parity Securities necessary to avoid a breach of the instrument governing the same). In addition, if any Deferral Period lasts longer than one year, the Company
will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, repurchase or acquire any securities ranking junior to or pari passu with any of its Qualifying APM Securities the proceeds of which were used to settle deferred interest during the relevant
Deferral Period before the first anniversary of the date on which all deferred interest on this Security has been paid, subject to the exceptions listed above. 
 The Company will give written notice of its election to begin or extend any Deferral Period, (x) if the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, is the sole holder of the Securities, to the Property Trustee and
the Delaware Trustee not more than 30 and at least five Business Days before the earlier of (A) the next succeeding date on which the distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are payable and (B) the date the Property Trustee is
required to give notice to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of the record or payment date for the related distribution, or (y) if the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, is not the sole Holder of the Securities, to Holders of the
Securities and the Trustee at least five Business Days before the next Interest Payment Date. 
 Payment of the principal of and interest on
this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the United States, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address will appear in the Securities Register or (ii) by
wire transfer in immediately available funds at the bank account number as may be designated by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Securities Register in writing not less than ten days before the relevant Interest Payment Date.

 The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and will be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred,
and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 
  

					
		 	-28-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof,
which further provisions will for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of
authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security will not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

	WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, AS TRUSTEE
		
	By	 	  

		 	Authorized Officer

 (FORM OF REVERSE OF JSNs) 
 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 the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of March 20, 1997 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as
amended and supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 6, 2008, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”),
to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the
Securities, and of the terms upon 

  

					
		 	-29-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series that may vary as
to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest, rank and in any other respect provided in the Indenture. 
 All terms used in this Security
that are defined in the Indenture or in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of May 6, 2008 (the “Amended Declaration”), for Fifth Third Capital Trust VII among Fifth Third Bancorp, as Sponsor, Wilmington
Trust Company, as the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, and the Administrative Trustees, will have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or the Amended Declaration, as the case may be. 
 The Company may redeem this Security (i) in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2013 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of this Security plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, (ii) in whole but not in part at any time after the occurrence of a Tax Event, Capital Treatment Event or Investment Company Event at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Security plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date and (iii) in whole but not in part at any time after the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event at a redemption price equal to the
Make-Whole Redemption Price. 
 No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee at
any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of
the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities to be affected by such supplemental indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, 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 will be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, if an Event of Default (other
than an Event of Default specified in subparagraph (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.9(a) of the Supplemental Indenture) with respect to the Securities at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the entire principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided that, in the case of the 

  

					
		 	-30-	 	FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 
Securities issued to and held by Fifth Third Capital Trust VII, or any trustee thereof or agent therefor, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities fails to declare the entire principal and all accrued but unpaid interest of all the Securities to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities then outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee, and upon any such declaration the principal amount of and the accrued but unpaid interest
(including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities will become immediately due and payable; provided that the payment of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Securities will remain subordinated to the
extent provided in Article XIII of the Base Indenture. 
 So long as any Securities are held by or on behalf of Fifth Third Capital Trust VII
, any holder of the Trust Preferred Securities issued by Fifth Third Capital Trust VII shall have the right, upon (i) the breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 2.7(a) of the Supplemental Indenture to issue Qualifying APM
Securities or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subparagraph (i) or (iv) of Section 2.9(a) of the Supplemental Indenture, to institute a suit directly against the Company (a) in the case of
(i) above, to enforce such obligations or for such other remedies as may be available and (b) in the case of (ii) above, for enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of (premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.8 of
the Base Indenture) interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Amended Declaration) of such Trust Preferred Securities. 
 The Holder of this Security, by such Holder’s acceptance hereof, agrees that if a Bankruptcy Event of the Company shall occur before the redemption
or repayment of such Security, such Holder shall have no claim for, and thus no right to receive, any deferred interest pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Supplemental Indenture that has not been paid pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 2.7 of the
Supplemental Indenture to the extent the amount of such interest exceeds the sum of (x) the first two years of accumulated and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on this Security and (y) an amount equal to such
Holder’s pro rata share of the excess, if any, of the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap over the aggregate amount of net proceeds from the sale of Qualifying Preferred Stock that the Company has applied to pay such deferred interest pursuant
to Section 2.7. Each Holder shall be deemed to agree that, to the extent the remaining claim exceeds the amount set forth in clause (x), the amount it receives in respect of such excess shall not exceed the amount it would have received had the
claim for such excess ranked pari passu with the interests of the holders, if any, of Qualifying Preferred Stock. 
 No reference
herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture will alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and
rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Securities Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained under Section 10.2

of the Base Indenture duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees. No service charge will 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. 
 Before due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee will 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 will be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 The Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest
in, this Security agree to treat for United States Federal income tax purposes (i) the Securities as indebtedness of the Company, and (ii) the stated interest on the Securities as ordinary interest income that is includible in the
Holder’s or beneficial owner’s gross income at the time the interest is paid or accrued in accordance with the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s regular method of tax accounting, and otherwise to treat the Securities as described in
the Prospectus. 
 The Indenture and this Security will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 This is one of the Securities referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

(a) The subordination provisions of Article XIII of the Indenture will apply to the JSNs, except that for the purposes of the JSNs (but
not for the purposes of any other Securities unless specifically set forth in the terms of such Securities), “Senior Indebtedness” is defined as the principal, premium, if any, unpaid interest (including interest accruing on or

 For purposes of the JSNs, Senior Indebtedness will exclude the following: 
 (i) the guarantee of the Trust Preferred
Securities; 
 (ii) any indebtedness or guarantee that is by its terms subordinated to, or ranks equally with, the JSNs and
the issuance of which, in the case of this clause (ii) only, (x) has received the concurrence or approval of the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Ohio, or any successor federal bank regulatory agency having primary
jurisdiction over the Company, or the staff of the Federal Reserve or (y) does not at the time of issuance prevent the JSNs from qualifying for Tier 1 capital treatment (irrespective of any limits on the amount of the Company’s Tier 1
capital) under the applicable capital adequacy guidelines, regulations, policies or published interpretations of the Federal Reserve; and

 Section 7.2 Modification of Supplemental Indenture 
 Without the consent of any Holders of the JSNs, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in
form satisfactory to the Trustee, to eliminate Common Stock or Qualifying Warrants (but not both) from the definition of “Qualifying APM Securities” if, after the initial issue date for the JSNs, an accounting standard or interpretive
guidance of an existing accounting standard issued by an organization or regulator that has responsibility for establishing or interpreting accounting standards in the United States becomes effective such that there is more than an insubstantial
risk that the failure to do so would result in a reduction in its earnings per share as calculated for financial reporting purposes. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any holder of JSNs, may enter into a supplemental indenture for the purpose of
conforming the terms of the Indenture and/or this Supplemental Indenture and the JSNs to the description of the JSNs contained in the Prospectus Supplement. 
 No modification or amendment to the Indenture will be effective against any holder without its consent that would reduce the requirements contained in the Indenture for quorum or voting, or make any change to the
subordination of the JSNs in a manner adverse to the holders. 
 Section 7.3 Miscellaneous 
 The Company will promptly give notice to Holders, in the manner provided for in the Indenture, of any amendment to the definition of “Qualifying APM
Securities” eliminating Common Stock or Qualifying Warrants pursuant to Section 7.2.

Assigns 
 All covenants and agreements in the Indenture, as supplemented and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, by the Company will
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

of the JSNs or the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 7.7 Ratification of Indenture 
 The Indenture as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this Supplemental Indenture will be deemed
