defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year or if such day is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), then the next succeeding Business Day
(each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) (it being understood that interest accrues for any such non-Business Day), commencing on the Interest Payment Date in December 2020 at a fixed annual rate
equal to 5.00% (the “Fixed Interest Rate”) applied to the principal amount hereof, and (ii) from October 1, 2025 semi-annually in arrears on the applicable Interest Payment Date commencing on the Interest Payment Date in December 2025
at the rate per annum (rounded to two decimal places when expressed as a percentage), reset semi-annually, equal to the sum of (A) a base rate equal to the then current 90-Day Average Secured Overnight

of the applicable floating interest period and (B) 475 basis points (the “Floating Interest Rate”), provided that in no event shall the Floating Interest Rate be less than 5.00% per
annum, applied to the principal amount hereof, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment, and on any overdue principal and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the Interest Rate, compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment. The amount of interest payable for any
period will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the Interest Payment Period concerned divided by 360. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid
to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment (the “Holder”), which shall be fifteen days prior to the day on which the relevant Interest Payment Date
occurs. Any such interest installment not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such regular record date and may be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of
business on a special record date. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banking institutions in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania are permitted or required by any applicable law or executive order to
close. 
 The principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America that at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Note register maintained by the Company, or, in the discretion of the Company, by wire transfer
to an account appropriately designated by the registered holder hereof. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is subordinate and junior
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all claims of (i) all general creditors of the Company, (ii) all holders of all secured indebtedness of the Company, and (iii) all holders of other claims which do not by their terms
expressly state that they are pari passu or junior in right of payment to this Note, whether now existing or hereafter incurred (collectively, “Senior Indebtedness”). Each holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees
to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Company on his, her or its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints
the Company his, her or its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each holder hereof, by his, her or its acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the
acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein by each holder of claims or indebtedness to which this Note is subordinate, whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and waives reliance by each such
holder upon said provisions. Payments of interest and principal on the Notes is senior to the payment of dividends or amounts paid in liquidation on any class of capital stock of the Company. 

This Note is part of, and ranks pari passu and equal in right of payment with other Notes constituting a part of the issuance on
September 30, 2020 of $         million of Subordinated Notes due October 1, 2030 (collectively, the “Notes”), authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 The Company, in its discretion, shall have the right to redeem or prepay any or all of the
Notes, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000.00, on any Interest Payment Date on or after October 1, 2025 at a price of 100% of the principal amount of the Note to
be redeemed or prepaid on such date, plus interest accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption or prepayment. The Company may also, in its discretion, redeem the Notes prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, at any time, upon the
occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event. Any such redemption will be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption fixed by the Company. For purposes
hereof, “Tier 2 Capital Event” means the Company’s good faith determination that, as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or regulations of the United States (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, any agency or instrumentality of the United States, including the Federal Reserve and other federal bank regulatory agencies) or any political subdivision of or in the United States that is enacted or becomes effective after the original
issue date of the Notes; (b) any proposed change in those laws, rules or regulations that is announced or becomes effective after the original issue date of the Notes; or (c) any official administrative decision or judicial decision or
administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, rules, regulations, policies or guidelines with respect thereto that is announced after the original issue date of the Notes, there is more than an
insubstantial risk that the Company will not be entitled to treat the Notes then outstanding as “Tier 2 Capital” (or its equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy rules or regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the “Federal Reserve”) (or, as and if applicable, the capital adequacy rules or regulations of any successor appropriate federal banking agency) as then in effect and applicable to the Company, for so long as any Notes are
outstanding. 
 Any redemption or prepayment shall be subject to receipt of any and all required regulatory approvals. In the case of any
redemption or prepayment of a Note, the Company will give the Holder of the Note to be redeemed or prepaid notice not less than 30 nor more than 45 days prior to the redemption or prepayment date as to the aggregate principal amount to be
redeemed or prepaid. In a case where the Company is making a redemption or prepayment with respect to all Notes in an amount less than the aggregate amount of principal of such Notes then outstanding, the Company shall select, in such manner as
in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Notes or portions thereof (in integral multiples of $1,000.00) to be redeemed or prepaid, and in connection therewith may treat differently Notes with outstanding principal less than,
more than or equal to such amount as the Company shall fix in its sole discretion. 
 The Company shall have the right to purchase any of
the Notes at any time in the open market, private transactions or otherwise. If the Company purchases any Notes, it may, in its discretion, hold, resell or cancel any of the purchased Notes. 

In case an Event of Default, as hereafter defined, shall have occurred and be continuing, upon demand of the holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 

  
 4 

 
Notes, the principal of all of the Notes shall become due and payable, subject to the receipt of any and all required regulatory approvals. For purposes hereof, an “Event of
Default” means: 
 (a)    a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of
the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of
the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of
90 consecutive days; or 
 (b)    the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts
as they become due; or 
 (c)     a court or administrative or governmental agency or body shall enter a decree or order
for the appointment of a receiver of a Major Bank Subsidiary (as hereafter defined) or all or substantially all of its property in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to such Major Bank Subsidiary or all or substantially
all of its property; or 
 (d)    a Major Bank Subsidiary shall consent to the appointment of a receiver for it or all
or substantially all of its property in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to it or all or substantially all of its property. 

For purposes hereof, “Major Bank Subsidiary” means any subsidiary of the Company that is a “major bank subsidiary” as that
term is used in SR 92-37 (FIS) promulgated by the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Federal Reserve, and as such term may subsequently be defined or interpreted in any rule, regulation,
written interpretation or other public issuance of the Federal Reserve. 
 The Notes are issuable only in registered, certificated form
without coupons and in minimum denominations of $100,000.00 (unless otherwise agreed to by the Company) and any multiple of $1,000.00 in excess thereof. Subject to the provisions hereof, upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Note to the Company, the Company shall execute and register and make available for delivery in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Note for a like aggregate principal amount. All Notes presented for registration of transfer or for
exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Company) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to, the Company duly executed by the holder or his attorney duly authorized in
writing. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
therewith, provided that nothing shall preclude the Company from requiring the posting of a bond in connection with the replacement of a Note certificate which has been lost, destroyed or stolen. 

  
 5 

 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, any paying
agent, any transfer agent and any Note registrar may deem the person in whose name such Note shall be registered upon the Note register to be, and may treat him as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor any paying agent nor any transfer agent nor any Note registrar shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being or upon his order shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any
such Note. 
 No recourse for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, or for any claim based thereon or
otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in any such Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator,
shareholder, employee, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor of the Company, either directly or through the Company or any successor of the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute
or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the issue of the
Notes. 
 THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WITHOUT REGARD TO
CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has duly executed this certificate for the Subordinated Note
presented hereby.
