     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Base Indenture, the Company wishes to provide for the

     WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Trustee execute and deliver this First

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

     (a) Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set
forth in the Base Indenture;

     (b) a term defined anywhere in this First Supplemental Indenture has the same
meaning throughout;

1

 

     (c) the singular includes the plural and vice versa;

     (d) headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation;

     (e) unless otherwise specified or unless the context requires otherwise, (i) all
references in this First Supplemental Indenture to Sections refer to the corresponding Sections of
this First Supplemental Indenture and (ii) the terms “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and any other
word of similar import refer to this First Supplemental Indenture; and

     (f) the following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 1.02(f):

     “Business Day” shall mean, unless otherwise specified, any day that is not a Saturday or
Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by
law or executive order to be closed in The City of New York, New York and Chicago, Illinois.

     “DTC” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.03.

ARTICLE 2

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

     Section 2.01 Designation and Principal Amount. The Notes may be issued from time to time upon
written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 3.3
of the Base Indenture. There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated as the 7.000%
Subordinated Notes due 2020 having an initial aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 (except
for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in
lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 9.6 of the Base Indenture and except for
Notes which, pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture are deemed to never have been
authenticated and delivered under the Base Indenture).

     Section 2.02 Maturity. The date upon which the Notes shall become due and payable at final
maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is December 15, 2020 (the “Maturity
Date”).

     Section 2.03 Form, Payment and Appointment. Except as provided in the last three paragraphs of
Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be issued only in book-entry form. Principal of
and interest on the Notes will be payable in global form registered in the name of or held by The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee in immediately available funds to DTC or its
nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such Global Note (as hereafter defined).
The principal of any certificated Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York, which shall
initially be the principal office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York;
provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or
by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment; provided
that the paying agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five
Business Days prior to the date of such payment (subject to surrender of the relevant Note in the
case of a payment of interest on the Maturity Date).

     The Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent and Paying Agent for the Notes shall initially be
the Trustee.

     The Notes will be issuable and may be transferred only in denominations of $2,000 or any
amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The specified currency of the
Notes shall be U.S. Dollars.

     Section 2.04 Global Note. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more
fully registered global notes (each such global note, a “Global Note”) deposited with DTC or its
designated custodian or such other Depositary as any officer of the Company may from time to time
designate. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global
Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made,
only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company
or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     Section 2.05 Interest. (a) Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date
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 December 17, 2010, if no interest
has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”).

     (b) The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 7.000% per annum from December 17, 2010 until
the principal of the Notes has been paid in full or a sum sufficient to pay the principal of the
Notes has been made available for payment. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in
arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing June
15, 2011, to the Persons in whose names the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business
on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.05(c).

     (c) The amount of interest payable for any Interest Period will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any scheduled
Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of
interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day which
is a Business Day (and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such
scheduled Interest Payment Date).

     (d) In the event that the Maturity Date for any Note falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, then the related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accumulate on the amount
payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date). Interest due on the Maturity Date
(whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of any Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal
of such Notes is payable.

     Section 2.06 No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

     Section 2.07 No Defeasance. Article 13.2 and 13.3 of the Base Indenture shall not be
applicable to the Notes.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES

     Section 3.01 No Redemption. The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the
Maturity Date. The provisions of this Article 3 shall supersede any conflicting provisions
contained in Article 11 of the Base Indenture.

ARTICLE 4

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     Section 4.01 Appointment of a Receiver. In addition to the Events of Default set forth in
Section 5.1 of the Base Indenture, an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Notes, in
the event a receiver, conservator or similar official is appointed for the Company’s principal

4

 

banking subsidiary (which, for the avoidance of doubt, as of the date hereof, is The Huntington
National Bank). Such Event of Default shall be treated for all purposes under the Indenture as if
it were an Event of Default under Section 5.1(1) of the Base Indenture.

ARTICLE 5

FORM OF NOTES

     Section 5.01 Form of Notes. The Notes and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication to be
endorsed thereon are to be substantially in the forms attached as Exhibit A hereto, with such
changes therein as the officers of the Company executing the Notes (by manual or facsimile
signature) may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof.

ARTICLE 6

ISSUE OF NOTES

     Section 6.01 Original Issue of Notes. Notes having an aggregate principal amount of
$300,000,000 may from time to time, upon execution of this First Supplemental Indenture, be
executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall
thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes to or upon the written order of the Company pursuant
to Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture without any further action by the Company (other than as
required by the Base Indenture).

     Section 6.02 Further Issues of Notes. The Company may from time to time, without notice to or
the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue further notes ranking pari passu with the
Notes and with identical terms in all respects (or in all respects except for the offering price,
the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for the
first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes) in order that such
further notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and have the same terms
as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes.

ARTICLE 7

IMMUNITY OF STOCKHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS AND

DIRECTORS

     Section 7.01 Indenture and Notes Solely Corporate Obligations. No recourse for the payment of
the principal of or interest on any Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect
thereof, shall be had against any stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, past,
present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation; it being expressly understood
that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a
consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 8.01 Ratification of Indenture. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by this First
Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this First

5

 

Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed part of the Base Indenture in the manner and to the extent
herein and therein provided.

     Section 8.02 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals herein contained are made by
the Company and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this First
Supplemental Indenture.

     Section 8.03 New York Law To Govern. THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE.

     Section 8.04 Separability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this First
Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, then, to the extent permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture or of
the Notes, but this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be construed as if such
invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

     Section 8.05 Counterparts. This First Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.

percentages in principal amount of the Notes of a series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the

principal sum as set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Note attached hereto on
December 15, 2020 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date”), and to pay

15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing June 15, 2011 at the rate of 7.000%
per annum, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, until the principal
of the Notes has been paid in full or a sum sufficient to pay the principal of the Notes has been
made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name the

or not an Interest Payment Date) of a Note of this series will be paid to the Person to whom
principal of such Note is payable.

     Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, which shall initially be the
principal office of the Trustee located therein, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security register or
by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Person
entitled to payment; provided,
that the paying agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five
Business Days prior to the date of such payment (subject to surrender of the relevant Note in the
case of a payment of interest on the Maturity Date).

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse
hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at
this place.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to
on the reverse hereof by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF NOTE

HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INCORPORATED

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the
“Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”),
dated as of December 29, 2005, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as
amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture between the Company and the Trustee
(“Supplemental Indenture ”) dated as of December 17, 2010, to which Indenture 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 Notes and of the terms upon which the
Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on
the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000.

     All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned
to them in the Indenture.

          The Notes of this series shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company or the holders
prior to the Maturity Date.

          The Notes of this series are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

          The Base Indenture provisions relating to defeasance in the Section 13.2 and 13.3 of the Base
Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.

          If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of the Notes of this series shall become immediately 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 modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the
Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes of each series (each series voting as a class) affected thereby and
at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Notes of a series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
holders of all Notes of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note 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 Note.

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of
and interest on this Note are payable, 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 Notes of this
series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be

 

 

issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

          The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

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

          THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND
FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE.
