[REVERSE OF SECURITY]

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the series designated above of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of March 14, 2011 for senior debt securities, between ASSOCIATED BANC-CORP and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Board Resolutions and the related Officer’s Certificate (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), and reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount equal to $250,000,000 as of the date of this Security.  In addition, the Company may from time to time without the consent of the Holders of Securities create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions as the Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date and issue price) and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding securities of this issue (including the Securities) or upon such terms as the Company may determine at the time of their issue.  References herein to the Securities include (unless the contest requires otherwise) any other securities issued as described in this paragraph and forming a single series with the Securities.

Where the Indenture or this Security provides for notice to the Holder of this Security of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Security at his, her or its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to the Holder of this Security by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.  In any case where notice to the Holder of this Security is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to the Holder of this Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of the Securities.

On or after October 15, 2019, the Securities are subject to redemption in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at the election of the Company, at a redemption price (“Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued interest at the Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption may be mailed by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address and will be deemed to have been given on the second Business Day after the date of mailing.  The Securities may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $10,000,000.  Delivery of a notice shall in no way preclude the ability of any Holder to sell or transfer the Securities prior to the Redemption Date specified in such notice.  If notice of redemption has been given as provided for by the Indenture, the Securities 

-4-

so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest.

This Security is not mandatorily redeemable, in whole or in part, prior to the Stated Maturity.  This Security is not subject to any sinking fund.

This Security shall have the benefit of the covenants and agreements set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the indenture to be affected at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, and with respect to certain limited matters, the Company and the Trustee may enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the indenture without the consent of any Holder.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder, such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such proceeding, and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company which is absolute and unconditional to pay 

-5-

the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or 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.

The Securities are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the 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 Securities are issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities and shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities only in the circumstances specified in the Indenture.  The Depositary for the Securities shall be The Depository Trust Company.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

All terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefits under such Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
