“Three-month LIBOR” means, as determined by the Calculation Agent on the second London Banking Day immediately preceding the commencement of the applicable Floating Rate Period (the “determination date”) and provided to the Trustee in writing (if the Trustee is not the Calculation Agent), the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such determination date. If such rate does not appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at such time, then the Company will request the principal London office of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, selected by the Company, to provide such bank’s offered quotation to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S. dollars with a term of three months as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such determination date and in a principal amount equal to an amount that, in the judgment of the Company, is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in the relevant market at the relevant time (a “representative amount”). If at least two such quotations are so provided, Three-month LIBOR for such Floating Rate Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Company will request each of three major banks in the City of New York to provide such bank’s rate for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks with a term of three months as of approximately 11:00 a.m., the City of New York time, on such determination date and in a representative amount. If at least two such rates are so provided, Three-month LIBOR for such Floating Rate Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then Three-month LIBOR for such Floating Rate Period will be set to equal the Three-month LIBOR for the then current Floating Rate Period or, in the case of the first Floating Rate Period, 1.21%.

“Tier 2 Capital Event” shall mean the receipt by the Company of an opinion of Independent Bank Regulatory Counsel to the effect that, as a result of: 
(a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective amendment or change) in, the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any rules, guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory authority for the Company; or 
(b) any official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the original issue date of the Notes, the Notes do not constitute, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion will not constitute, Tier 2 capital (or its then-equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board, as then in effect and applicable to the Company. 
The terms “Company,” “Trustee,” “Base Indenture,” “First Supplemental Indenture,” “Indenture,” “Securities” and “Notes” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the recitals to this First Supplemental Indenture and the paragraph preceding such recitals.

Section 2.5. Interest.
(a) Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, if any, with respect to the Notes shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date of Notes if no interest has previously been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, if any, as the case may be. 
(b) (i) From, and including, the original issue date of the Notes to, but excluding, July 20, 2021, unless redeemed prior to such date pursuant to Article 3 hereof, the Notes will bear interest at the annual rate of 5.75%, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and payable semi-annually in arrears on each January 20 and July 20, beginning on January 20, 2017 and ending on July 20, 2021 (each such payment date, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date,” with the period from, and including, the original issue date of the Notes to, but excluding, the first Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date and each successive period from, and including, a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being a “Fixed Rate Period”). In the event that any scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date). 
(ii) From, and including July 20, 2021 to, but excluding, the Stated Maturity Date, unless redeemed subsequent to July 20, 2021 but prior to the Stated Maturity Date pursuant to Article 3 hereof, the Notes will bear interest at an annual rate equal to Three- month LIBOR, reset quarterly, plus 473 basis points (4.73%), payable quarterly in arrears on each January 20, April 20, July 20 and October 20, beginning on October 20, 2021 (each such payment date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date,” and, together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, collectively the “Interest Payment Dates,” with the period from, and including, July 20, 2021 to, but excluding, the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date and each successive period from, and including, a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being a “Floating Rate Period”). Interest payable on the Notes for a Floating Rate Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in such Floating Rate Period. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of Three-month LIBOR shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Calculation Agent) in writing of the interest rate for each Floating Rate Period on the applicable determination date. In the event that any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to, but excluding, such Business Day. 
(c) Interest due on the Stated Maturity Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of the Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of the Notes is payable, subject to DTC’s applicable procedures.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that, anything in this Section 2.6 or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness to the extent provided in this Section 2.6, and each Holder of Notes, by such Holder’s acceptance of such Notes, likewise covenants and agrees to the subordination provided in this Section 2.6 and the Base Indenture and shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.6. Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and entitled to the benefits of these subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification, or waiver of any term of the Senior Indebtedness or extension or renewal of the Senior Indebtedness.
In the event of
(i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, or other similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property; 

(ii) any proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution, or other winding up of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; 
(iii) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors; or 
(iv) any other marshaling of the assets of the Company;
all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest on such Senior Indebtedness accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities, or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of the Notes on account of such Notes. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities, or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect of such Senior Indebtedness under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Notes shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest on such Senior Indebtedness accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall have been paid in full. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Notes, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Notes, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property, or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the Notes and such other obligations. The rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness under this Section do not extend to any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, to the extent applied to the Trustee’s rights to compensation, reimbursement of expenses or indemnification.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities, or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect of such Senior Indebtedness under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), shall be received by the Trustee or any holder of the Notes in contravention of any of the terms of this Section 2.6, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for applications to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full. In the event of the failure of the Trustee or any holder of the Notes to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution, or security, each holder of Senior Indebtedness is irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.
No present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in the right to enforce subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company. Nothing contained in this Section 2.6 shall impair, as between the Company and the Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company to pay to the Holders of the Notes the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes or prevent the Trustee or the holders of the Notes from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or under this Indenture upon a default or Event of Default, all subject to the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, securities, or other property otherwise payable or deliverable to the Holders of the Notes.
Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been paid in full unless the holders thereof shall have received cash, securities, or other property equal to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the holders of Notes of each series shall be subrogated to all rights of any holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive any further payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by such Holders of Notes, by reason of such subrogation, of cash, securities, or other property which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand, and such Holders of Notes, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of Senior Indebtedness, and not on account of the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Section 2.6, at any time after the 123rd day following the date of deposit of funds pursuant to Article Four of the Base Indenture (provided all conditions set out in the applicable Article shall have been satisfied), the funds so deposited and any interest thereon will not be subject to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, those arising under this Section 2.6; provided that no event described in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 of the Base Indenture has occurred during such 123-day period.
The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall not impair any rights, interests, remedies, or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect of any security interest the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture.
(b) In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest, rent or other obligations on any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period with respect to such Senior Indebtedness, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness) to declare such Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and any such declaration and its consequences shall have been rescinded or annulled, or in the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such default in payment or event of default, then no payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes) shall be made by the Company on account of the principal of or any premium or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Notes.
Subject to Section 2.6(d), in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(b), and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known in a writing delivered to a responsible officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or the Company or, as the case may be, such holder of Notes, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered to the Company.
The provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2.6(a) would be applicable.
(c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Section 2.6, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon an order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization or arrangement proceedings are pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders of the Notes, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount of or payable on and the amount or amounts paid or distributed on such Senior Indebtedness or other indebtedness, and all other facts pertinent to such Senior Indebtedness or other indebtedness or to this Section 2.6. In the absence of any such bankruptcy trustee, receiver, assignee, or other Person, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a written notice by a Person representing itself, himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of such Senior Indebtedness (or is such a trustee or representative), of the amount of or payable on and the amount or amounts paid or distributed on such Senior Indebtedness or other indebtedness, and of all other facts pertinent to such Senior Indebtedness or other indebtedness. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payments or distributions pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, as to the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 2.6, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may withhold any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive payment. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall pay over or deliver to the holders of the Notes or the Company or any other Person, cash, securities, or other property to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 2.6 or otherwise.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 2.6 (except in Section 2.6(e)) or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in the Notes, shall prevent (i) the Company at any time, except during the pendency of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, or 

reorganization proceedings referred to in Section 2.6(a) or under the conditions specified in Section 2.6(b), from making payments of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Notes or (ii) the application by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it under this Indenture to payments of the principal of or interest on the Notes, if, at the time of such deposit, a responsible officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, had not received at the Corporate Trust Office the Officers’ Certificate or written notice provided for in Section 2.6(e) of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit, or if, at the time of such deposit (whether or not in trust) by the Company with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company) such payment would not have been prohibited by the provisions of this Section 2.6, and the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary received by it on or after such date.
(e) Anything in this Section 2.6 or elsewhere contained in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, and shall be entitled conclusively to assume that no such facts exist and that no event specified in Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b) has happened, unless and until a responsible officer of the Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office (i) an Officers’ Certificate to that effect or (ii) notice in writing to that effect signed by or on behalf of the holder or holders, or their representatives, of Senior Indebtedness who shall have been certified by the Company or otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee to be such holder or holders or representatives or from any trustee under any indenture pursuant to which such Senior Indebtedness shall be outstanding; and before the receipt of any such Officers’ Certificate or written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the Officers’ Certificate or the written notice provided for in this Section 2.6(e) at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security) then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have all power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it during or after such three Business Day period.

(f) Each Holder of Notes by such Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as between such Holder and holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Section 2.6 and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
(g) The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section 2.6 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall deprive the Trustee of any rights as such holder. 
(h) In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting under this Indenture, the term “Trustee” as used in this Section 2.6 shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if the Paying Agent were named in this Section 2.6 in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Sections 2.6(e) and 2.6(g) shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. 
(i) No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as provided in this Indenture shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions, and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place, or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any such Senior Indebtedness, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any such Senior Indebtedness is issued or by which it may be secured, or release any security, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default, all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee and without affecting the obligations of the Company, the Trustee, or the Holders of the Notes under this Section 2.6. 
(j) Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Sections 506 or 607 of the 

(k) Anything in Article Nine of the Base Indenture or elsewhere contained in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, no modification or amendment and no supplemental indenture shall modify the subordination provisions of this Section 2.6 in a manner that would adversely affect the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Whether or not any such modification, amendment or supplemental indenture modifies this Section 2.6 in a manner that would adversely affects the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, acting in good faith and shall be evidenced by delivery by the Company of an Officers’ Certificate and applicable board resolution to such effect to the Trustee and the representatives of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
Section 2.7. Events of Default; Acceleration. Neither the Trustee nor the Holders of the Notes shall have the right to accelerate the maturity of the Notes unless there is an Event of Default specified under clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 of the Base Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 of the Base Indenture occurs, then the principal amount of all of the Outstanding Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and premium, if any, shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 502 of the Base Indenture. 
Section 2.8. No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. 
Section 2.9. No Conversion or Exchange Rights. The Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.
