Exhibit 4.13
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

The following description of the capital stock of the Howard Hughes Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company”) is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our (i) Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and (ii) Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each of which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.5 is a part. We encourage you to read our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) for additional information.

Description of Common Stock

Authorized Capital Shares

Our authorized capital shares consist of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and 50,000,000 shares of preferred shares, $0.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). All outstanding shares of our Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Voting Rights

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

Dividend Rights

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock, holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.

Liquidation Rights

If there is a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, holders of our Common Stock would be entitled to ratable distribution of our assets remaining after the payment in full of liabilities and any preferential rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock.

Other Rights and Preferences

There are no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock that we may designate and issue in the future. There are no provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws discriminating against a stockholder because of his or her ownership of a particular number of shares.

We are not aware of any limitations on the rights to own our Common Stock, including rights of non-resident or foreign stockholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our Common Stock, imposed by foreign law or by our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.

Listing

The Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “HHC.”

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law  
and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Provisions of the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in improved terms for our stockholders.
 
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the acquisition of shares that resulted in a stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or, if the person is an affiliate or an associate of the Company, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
 
Size of Board and Vacancies

Our Bylaws provide that the number of directors on our board of directors will be fixed exclusively by our board of directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in our authorized number of directors will be filled by a majority of our board of directors then in office, provided that a majority of the total number of directors is present, unless the board of directors otherwise determines that such directorships should be filled by the affirmative vote of the stockholders of record of at least a majority of the voting stock. Any vacancies in our board of directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause will be filled generally by the majority vote of our remaining directors in office, even if less than a quorum is present. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws permit stockholders to remove a director or directors with or without cause.
 
Special Stockholder Meetings

Under our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, our board of directors may call special meetings of our stockholders. A special meeting is also required to be called by the secretary upon written request by stockholders who together hold 15% or more of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
 
Prohibition of Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws expressly prohibit our stockholders from acting by written consent. Stockholder action must take place at an annual or a special meeting of our stockholders.
 
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors.
 

No Cumulative Voting

The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.Document

 SIXTEENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 

Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between Prudential
Financial, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), having its principal office at 751 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102, and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), a New York banking
corporation, as trustee (hereinafter called the “Trustee”). 
 RECITALS OF THE COMPANY 

The Company and the Trustee executed and delivered an indenture, dated as of June 17, 2008 (the “Base Indenture”), to
the Trustee to provide for the future issuance of the Company’s subordinated debt securities, to be issued from time to time in one or more series as might be determined by the Company under the Base Indenture. 

Section 901(5) of the Base Indenture permits the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from
time to time, to enter into one or more supplemental indentures, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, without the consent of any Holders, to add, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture in respect of one or more series of
Securities, provided that any such addition, change or elimination (A) shall neither (i) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor
(ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding. 

Section 901(6) of the Base Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any Holder, may enter into a
supplemental indenture to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 and 301 thereof. 
 Pursuant
to the terms of the Base Indenture, the Company desires to provide for the establishment, authentication and issuance of a new series of its Securities, and the form and terms thereof, as hereinafter set forth. 

The Company has requested that the Trustee execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. The Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Sections 102 and 903 of the Base Indenture to the effect, among other things, that all conditions precedent provided for in the Base Indenture to the Trustee’s execution and
delivery of this Supplemental Indenture have been complied with. 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:

 ARTICLE ONE 

Definitions 
 Section 1.01.

 (c) any reference to an Article, Section, other subdivision or Exhibit refers to an Article, Section or other
subdivision of, or Exhibit to, this Supplemental Indenture; and 
 (d) the words “herein”, “hereof” and

In addition, the following terms used in this Supplemental Indenture have the following respective meanings: 

“Business Day” means any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The

pursuant to Section 3.05 and ending on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of that Interest Payment Date and (ii) the next Interest Payment Date on which the Company has paid all deferred and unpaid amounts (including compounded
interest on such deferred amounts) and all other accrued interest on the Notes. 

  
 2 

 “Five-year Treasury Rate” means, as of any Reset Interest Determination
Date, the average of the yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, for five-year maturities, for the most recent five Business Days appearing under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” in the
Most Recent H.15. If the Five-year Treasury Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Calculation Agent, after consulting such sources as it deems comparable to any of the foregoing calculations, or any such source as it
deems reasonable from which to estimate the Five-year Treasury Rate, will determine the Five-year Treasury Rate in its sole discretion, provided that if the Calculation Agent determines there is an industry-accepted successor Five-year
Treasury Rate, then the Calculation Agent will use such successor rate. If the Calculation Agent has determined a substitute or successor base rate in accordance with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion may determine the
Business Day convention, the definition of Business Day and the Reset Interest Determination Date to be used and any other relevant methodology for calculating such substitute or successor base rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make
such substitute or successor base rate comparable to the Five-year Treasury Rate, in a manner that is consistent with industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor base rate. 

“H.15” means the daily statistical release designated as such, or any successor publication as determined by the Calculation
Agent in its sole discretion, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
 “Indenture” means the
Base Indenture as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, and as further supplemented from time to time with respect to the Notes.

“Interest Period” means the period from and including February 28, 2022 to but excluding August 30, 2022, and the
period from each Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date or, if earlier, the Maturity Date. 

“Interest Reset Date” means the Initial Interest Reset Date and each date falling on the five-year anniversary of the
preceding Interest Reset Date. 
 “Interest Reset Period” means the period from and including the Initial Interest Reset
Date to, but not including, the next following Interest Reset Date and thereafter each period from and including each Interest Reset Date to, but not including, the next following Interest Reset Date.

“Most Recent H.15” means the H.15 published closest in time but prior to the close of business on the applicable Reset
Interest Determination Date.

Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2044, (iv) the Company’s 5.375%

Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2047, (vi) the Company’s 5.700%
Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2048, (vii) the Company’s 3.700%

 3 

 “Parity Securities” means indebtedness of the Company that by its terms
ranks in right of payment upon liquidation of the Company on a parity with the Notes, and includes the Notes and the Pari Passu Securities. 

“Rating Agency Event” means that any nationally recognized statistical rating organization within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act that then publishes a rating for the Company (a “rating agency”) amends, clarifies or changes the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the Notes, which amendment,
clarification or change results in: 
 (i) the shortening of the length of time the Notes are assigned a particular level of
equity credit by that rating agency compared to the length of time they would have been assigned that level of equity credit by that rating agency or its predecessor on the date hereof, or 

(ii) the lowering of the equity credit (including up to a lesser amount) assigned to the Notes by that rating agency compared
to the equity credit assigned by that rating agency or its predecessor on the date hereof. 
 “Regulatory Capital Event”
means the Company’s good faith determination that, as a result of: 
 (i) any amendment to, or change in, the laws,
rules or regulations of the United States or any political subdivision of or in the United States or any other governmental agency or instrumentality as may then have group-wide oversight of the Company’s regulatory capital that is enacted or
becomes effective after the date hereof; 
 (ii) any proposed amendment to, or change in, those laws, rules or regulations
that is announced or becomes effective after the date hereof; or 
 (iii) any official administrative decision or judicial
decision or administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, rules or regulations that is announced after the date hereof, 

there is more than an insubstantial risk that the full principal amount of the Notes outstanding from time to time would not qualify as “Tier 2
Capital” (or a substantially similar concept) for purposes of the capital adequacy rules of any Capital Regulator to which the Company is or will be subject; provided that the proposal or adoption of any criterion: 

(i) that is substantially the same as the corresponding criterion in the capital adequacy rules of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System applicable to bank holding companies as of the date hereof, or 

  
 4 

 (ii) that would result in the full principal amount of the Notes outstanding
from time to time not qualifying as “Tier 2 Capital” (or a substantially similar concept) for purposes of the capital adequacy rules of the Capital Regulator solely because the Company may redeem the Notes at its option upon the occurrence
of a Rating Agency Event 
 will not constitute a Regulatory Capital Event. 

“Reset Interest Determination Date” means, in respect of any Interest Reset Period, the day falling two Business Days prior
to the beginning of such Interest Reset Period. 
 “Supplemental Indenture” means this instrument as originally executed or
as it from time to time may be supplemented or amended by one or more agreements supplemental hereto. 
 “Tax Event” means
the receipt by the Company of an opinion of independent counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of any: 

(i) amendment to or change (including any officially announced proposed change) in the laws or regulations of the United States
or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States that is enacted or effective on or after the date hereof; 

(ii) official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other official pronouncement (including
a private letter ruling, technical advice memorandum or other similar pronouncement) by any court, government agency or regulatory authority that reflects an amendment to, or change in, the interpretation or application of those laws or regulations
that is announced on or after the date hereof; or 
 (iii) threatened challenge asserted in connection with an audit of the
Company, or a threatened challenge asserted in writing against any taxpayer that has raised capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the Notes, which challenge is asserted against the Company or becomes publicly
known on or after the date hereof, 
 there is more than an insubstantial increase in the risk that interest payable by the Company on the Notes is not, or
within 90 days of the date of such opinion will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the
following two paragraphs: 
 (i) The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or
after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that
appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as 

  
 5 

 
“Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant
maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the
redemption date to February 28, 2032 (the “Par Call Date”) (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields –
one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call
Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the
yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant
number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date. 
 (ii) If on the
third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity
at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States
Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity
date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more
United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon
the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the
applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three
decimal places. 
 Provided that calculations and selections in the foregoing will be made by the Company or on its behalf by a
person designated by the Company; provided, further, however, that such calculations and selections shall not be a duty or obligation of the trustee under the Company’s senior indenture.

 ARTICLE TWO 

Amendments 

Section 2.01. Amendment of Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The first sentence of Section 303(f) (Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating) of the Base Indenture is hereby deleted and
replaced with the following: 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual, facsimile or electronic signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

ARTICLE THREE 
 General
Terms and Conditions of the Notes 
 Section 3.01. Designation and Principal Amount 

(a) Designation 
 Pursuant
to Section 301 of the Base Indenture, there is hereby established a series of Securities of the Company designated as the 5.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2052 (the “Notes”), the principal amount of which to be issued shall be in accordance with Section 3.01(b) and as set forth in a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to the
Base Indenture, and the form and terms of which shall be as set forth hereinafter. 
 (b) Principal Amount; Additional Notes 

Notes in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 upon execution of this Supplemental Indenture, shall be executed by the
Company and delivered to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes in accordance with a Company Order. At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, without the consent of any Holders of the Notes,
the Company may execute and deliver additional Notes to the Trustee for authentication, in addition to the $1,000,000,000 initial aggregate principal amount previously provided for, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery
of such additional Notes, so long as such additional Notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Notes issued as of the date hereof. Any additional Notes so issued shall have the same terms and conditions as the Notes issued on
the date hereof in all respects, except for any difference in the issue date, issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date of the additional Notes and first Interest Payment Date and shall be governed by this Supplemental Indenture and
shall rank equally and ratably in right of payment with the Notes issued on the date of this Supplemental Indenture and, together with the Notes issued as of the date of this Supplemental Indenture, shall be treated as a single series of Notes for
all purposes. 

  
 7 

 Section 3.02. Maturity 

The Notes will mature on March 1, 2052 (the “Maturity Date”). If the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, payment of
principal and interest to be made on the Maturity Date shall be made on the next Business Day (but no interest shall accrue as a result of such postponement). 

Section 3.03. Form 

The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, shall include the Trustee’s certificate of authentication in the form required
by Section 205 of the Base Indenture and shall be issued in fully registered definitive form without interest coupons. 
 The Notes
initially are issuable solely as Global Securities and shall bear the legend required by Section 204 of the Base Indenture. 
 The
Depositary for the Notes initially shall be The Depository Trust Company (or any successor thereto). 
 Section 3.04. Rate of
Interest; Interest Payment Dates 
 (a) Rate of Interest; Accrual 

The Notes shall bear interest on their principal amount: (i) from and including February 28, 2022, to, but not including, the
Initial Interest Reset Date at the rate of 5.125% per annum and (ii) from and including the Initial Interest Reset Date, during each Interest Reset Period, at the rate equal to the Five-year Treasury Rate as of the most recent Reset Interest
Determination Date, plus 3.162% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Defaulted Interest and interest deferred pursuant
to Section 3.05 will bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the interest rate in effect from time to time provided in this Section 3.04(a), from and including the relevant Interest Payment Date, compounded on each subsequent
Interest Payment Date. 
 (b) Interest Payment Dates 

Subject to Section 3.05, accrued interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 28 and August 30
of each year, commencing on August 30, 2022, and on the Maturity Date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (but no interest will accrue as a result of
that postponement), to the Holders of the Notes at the close of business on the immediately preceding February 15 or August 15 (in each case, whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be. 

Section 3.05. Deferral 

(a) Option to Defer Interest Payments 

  
 8 

 (i) So long as no Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred or
is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to defer the payment of interest on the Notes for one or more consecutive Interest Periods that do not exceed five years for any single Deferral Period,
provided that no Deferral Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date, any earlier accelerated maturity date arising from an Event of Default or any other earlier redemption of the Notes. If the Company has paid all deferred interest
(including compounded interest thereon) on the Notes, the Company shall have the right to elect to begin a new Deferral Period pursuant to this Section 3.05(a).

(c) The Trustee shall provide to the Holders of the Notes notice of any Event of Default or default with respect to the Notes within 90 days
after the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of such Event of Default or default. However, except in the case of a default in payment on the Notes, the Trustee will be protected in withholding the notice if one of its
Responsible Officers determines that withholding of the notice is in the interest of such Holders. 
 (d) The Trustee shall have no right or
obligation under the Indenture or otherwise to exercise any remedies on behalf of any Holders of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture in connection with any default, unless such remedies are available under the Indenture and the Trustee is directed
to exercise such remedies pursuant to and subject to the conditions of Section 512 of the Base Indenture, provided, however, that this provision shall not affect the rights of the Trustee with respect to any Events of Default as
set forth in Section 3.06(b) that may occur with respect to the Notes. In connection with any such exercise of remedies the Trustee shall be entitled to the same immunities and protections and remedial rights (other than acceleration) as if
such default were an Event of Default.

respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Company;

 (A) any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares of its capital

shall have been paid in full on all Outstanding Notes for all Interest Periods ending on or before the Redemption Date. In the event the Notes are treated as “Tier 2 capital” (or a substantially similar concept) under the capital rules of
any Capital Regulator applicable to the Company, any redemption of the Notes shall be subject to the Company’s receipt of any required prior approval from such Capital Regulator and to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in those
capital rules or any other applicable regulations of any other Capital Regulator that are or will be applicable to the Company’s redemption of the Notes.

 PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC. 

5.125% FIXED-TO-FIXED RESET RATE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
DUE 2052 
 Prudential Financial, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey (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 dollars ($) on March 1,
2052 (the “Maturity Date”), or if such day is not a Business Day (as defined below), the following Business Day and no interest will accrue as a result of the postponement. 

The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum (i) from and including February 28, 2022 to, but not including,
February 28, 2032 at the rate of 5.125% per annum and (ii) from and including February 28, 2032, during each Interest Reset Period, at the rate equal to the Five-year Treasury Rate as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination
Date, plus 3.162% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) semi-annually in arrears on February 28 and August 30 of each year, commencing on
August 30, 2022, and on the Maturity Date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), 

  
 A-1 

 
subject to deferral as set forth herein. In the event that any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment due on that date will be postponed to the next
day that is a Business Day, and no interest will accrue as a result of that postponement. A “Business Day” shall mean any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The City of New
York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or (iii) a day on which the Corporate Trust Office is closed for business. Defaulted Interest and interest deferred pursuant to said Indenture will bear additional
interest to the extent permitted by law, at the rate in effect from time to time, from and including the relevant Interest Payment Date, compounded on each subsequent Interest Payment Date. 

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, as provided in said Indenture, will 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, which shall be the February 15 or August 15 (in each case, whether or
not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be
paid, in the case of deferred interest, as provided in the following paragraph, and otherwise 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 Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to 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. 

Unless the Company has redeemed all of the outstanding Notes as of the Initial Interest Reset Date, the Company shall appoint a calculation
agent (the “Calculation Agent”) with respect to the Notes prior to the Reset Interest Determination Date preceding the Initial Interest Reset Date. The Company or any of its affiliates may assume the duties of the Calculation Agent.
The applicable interest rate for each Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Reset Interest Determination Date. If the Company or one of its affiliates is not the Calculation Agent, the Calculation
Agent shall notify the Company of the interest rate for the relevant Interest Reset Period promptly upon such determination. The Company shall notify the Trustee of such interest rate, promptly upon making or being notified of such determination.
The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate and its calculation of the amount of interest for any Interest Reset Period beginning on or after the Initial Interest Reset Date will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error,
will be made in the Calculation Agent’s sole discretion and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or this Note, will become effective without consent from any other person or entity. Such determination of any interest rate
and calculation of the amount of interest will be on file at the Company’s principal offices and will be made available to any Holder upon request. 

  
 A-2 

 So long as no Event of Default with respect to this Security has occurred or is continuing,
the Company shall have the right at any time during the term of this Security to defer payment of interest on this Security for one or more consecutive Interest Periods that do not exceed five years for any single Deferral Period, during which the
Company shall have the right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date, and at the end of which the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid; provided, however, that no Deferral Period shall extend
beyond the Maturity Date or the earlier accelerated maturity date arising from an Event of Default or redemption of this Security. 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. 
 So long as any Securities of this series 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 shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to,
(i) declare or pay any dividends or other 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 of the Company that rank upon the Company’s liquidation on a parity with this Security (including (i) the Company’s 5.875% Fixed to Floating Rate Junior Subordinated
Notes due 2042, (ii) the Company’s 5.625% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2043, (iii) the Company’s 5.20%
Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2044, (iv) the Company’s 5.375%
Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2045, (v) the Company’s 4.500%

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 Indenture, dated as of June 17, 2008 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee (the
“Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2022, 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, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon 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 shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 The Securities of this
series shall be redeemable at the election of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In particular, this Security is redeemable: 

(a) in whole at any time or in part from time to time during the three-month period prior to, and including, February 28,
2032, or the three-month period prior to, and including, each subsequent Interest Reset Date, in each case at 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date; 

(b) prior to November 28, 2031, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the principal amount of the
Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Securities being redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming the notes matured on
February 28, 2032) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points less interest
accrued to the Redemption Date; 
 (c) in whole, but not in part, at any time within 90 days after the occurrence of a Tax
Event or a Regulatory Capital Event, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed; or 

(d) in whole, but not in part, at any time within 90 days after the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event, at a redemption price
equal to 102% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed. 
 plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding
the Redemption Date; 

  
 A-7 

 provided that if the Securities of this series are not redeemed in whole, at least
$25 million aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series remain outstanding after giving effect to such redemption. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not redeem the Securities of this series unless all accrued and unpaid interest, including
deferred interest (and compounded interest), has been paid in full on all Outstanding Securities of this series for all Interest Periods ending on or before the Redemption Date. 

In the event of a redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this Series and of a like tenor for the unredeemed
portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 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 in 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 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, if an Event
of Default as set forth in the Indenture occurs, the principal amount of the Securities shall automatically become due and payable; provided that in any such case the payment of principal and interest on such Securities shall remain
subordinated to the extent provided in Article Eleven of the Base Indenture. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of
this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

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 1002 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 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 shall have the right to treat and shall treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
