“Tax Event” means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of Independent Tax Counsel to the effect that, as a result of: (a) an amendment to or change (including any announced prospective amendment or change) in any law or treaty, or any regulation thereunder, of the United States or any of its political subdivisions or taxing authorities; (b) a judicial decision, administrative action, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an “administrative or judicial action”); (c) an amendment to or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation; or (d) a threatened challenge asserted in writing in connection with an audit of the Company’s federal income tax returns or positions or a similar audit of any of its Subsidiaries, or a publicly known threatened challenge asserted in writing against any other taxpayer that has raised capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the 2026 Notes, in each case, occurring or becoming publicly known on or after the original issue date of the 2026 Notes, there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest payable by the Company on the 2026 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 United States federal income tax purposes.
“Three-Month LIBOR” means, for any Interest Period, 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 the Reset Rate Determination Date related to such Interest Period. If such rate does not appear on such page at such time, then the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, selected by the Calculation Agent, 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 Reset Rate Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount that, in the judgment of the Calculation Agent, 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 the Interest Period related to such Reset Rate Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Calculation Agent 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., New York City time, on such Reset Rate Determination Date and in a Representative Amount. If at least two such rates are so provided, Three-Month LIBOR for the Interest Period related to such Reset Rate Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then Three-Month LIBOR for the Interest Period related to such Reset Rate Determination Date will be set to equal the Three-Month LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Period or, in the case of the Interest Period commencing on the First Reset Date, 1.825%. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of Three-Month LIBOR will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Three-Month LIBOR as determined in accordance with this definition for any Interest Period after the First Reset Date is less than zero, Three-Month LIBOR for such Interest Period shall be deemed to be zero.
4 |
“Tier 2 Capital Event” means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of Independent Regulatory Counsel 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 Board and other appropriate federal bank regulatory agencies) that is enacted or becomes effective after the initial issuance of the 2026 Notes;
(b) any proposed change in those laws, rules or regulations that is announced or becomes effective after the initial issuance of the 2026 Notes; or
(c) any official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, rules or regulations or policies with respect thereto that is announced after the initial issuance of the 2026 Notes,
in each case, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company will not be entitled to treat the 2026 Notes then outstanding as “Tier 2 Capital” (or its equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy rules of the Federal Reserve Board (or, as and if applicable, the capital adequacy rules or regulations of any successor appropriate federal banking agency) as then in effect and applicable, for so long as any 2026 Note is outstanding. “Appropriate federal banking agency” means the “appropriate federal banking agency” with respect to the Company as that term is defined in Section 3(q) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or any successor provision.
“Trustee” has the meaning provided in the preamble.
ARTICLE 3

The 2026 Notes that are a part of such series of Securities shall have the terms set forth in the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture.
5 |
(b) The terms contained in the 2026 Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
(c) The 2026 Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon are to be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, with such changes therein as the officer of the Company executing the 2026 Notes (by manual or facsimile signature) may approve in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Base Indenture, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof.
Section 3.02 Maturity. The date upon which the 2026 Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest then owing, is December 15, 2026 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), unless such 2026 Notes shall have been redeemed in full prior to such date pursuant to Article 4 hereof.
Section 3.03 Form, Payment and Appointment. Except as provided in Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture, the 2026 Notes will be issued in book-entry only form and will be represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Company (and any successor thereto) (“DTC”) or its nominee. Principal and, in the case of redemption, interest, if any, due on the Stated Maturity Date or any earlier date of redemption of a 2026 Note shall be payable against presentation and surrender of such 2026 Note at the Place of Payment. Interest payable on an Interest Payment Date will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds or, at the option of the Company in the event that the 2026 Notes are not represented by one or more Global Notes, by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register.
The 2026 Notes shall have such other terms as are set forth in the form thereof attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The Security Registrar, Paying Agent and Calculation Agent for the 2026 Notes shall initially be the Trustee.
The 2026 Notes will be issuable and may be transferred only in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The amounts payable with respect to the 2026 Notes shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.
Section 3.04 Global Note. The 2026 Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more fully registered global notes in book-entry form (each such global note, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and deposited with DTC or its designated custodian or such other Depository as any officer of the Company may from time to time designate. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for 2026 Notes in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the 2026 Notes shall be made, only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a successor Depository selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depository as provided in the Base Indenture.
6 |
Section 3.05 Interest.
(a) The 2026 Notes will bear interest (i) at an initial rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 15, 2017, from and including the date of issuance to but excluding December 15, 2021 (the “First Reset Date”) and (ii) from and after December 15, 2021 at an annual floating rate equal to Three-Month LIBOR as determined by the Calculation Agent on each Reset Rate Determination Date for the applicable Interest Period, plus a spread of 317.5 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date,” and together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, the “Interest Payment Dates”), commencing on December 15, 2021. The determination of Three-Month LIBOR for each relevant Interest Period by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. The Calculation Agent’s calculation of the amount of any interest payable after the First Reset Date will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s principal offices.
(b) Interest on the 2026 Notes will accrue 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 date of issuance of the 2026 Notes, if no interest has previously been paid or duly provided for with respect to any of the 2026 Notes) to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity (each, an “Interest Period”).
(c) Interest on the 2026 Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Persons in whose names the relevant 2026 Notes are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture. For the purpose of determining the Persons in whose names the relevant 2026 Notes are registered at the close of business on a Regular Record Date that is not a Business Day, the close of business shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Regular Record Date.
(d) Any interest payable on the 2026 Notes on or prior to the First Reset Date will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and any interest payable on the 2026 Notes after the First Reset Date will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the Interest Period in respect of which interest is payable divided by 360. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.
(e) In the event that a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date or the Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the amounts payable on such date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day without the accumulation of additional interest. In the event that a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding 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 Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to but excluding such Business Day.
7 |
Section 3.06 Subordination. The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of 2026 Notes by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the 2026 Notes and the payment of the principal of, and interest, on each and all of the 2026 Notes is and will be expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness to the extent and in the manner described in Article 13 of the Base Indenture. The 2026 Notes will rank senior to the Company’s obligations relating to any outstanding junior subordinated debt securities issued to the Company’s capital trust subsidiaries, whether now existing or hereafter acquired. It is intended that the 2026 Notes be and are Tier 2 capital or the equivalent for all regulatory purposes.
Section 3.07 No Sinking Fund. The 2026 Notes are not entitled to the benefit of, or subject to, any sinking fund.
Section 3.08 No Conversion or Exchange Rights. The 2026 Notes shall not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any equity securities, other securities or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Section 3.09 Events of Default; Acceleration.
(a) Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the 2026 Notes, except that the first paragraph thereof shall be substituted with the following:
“If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(6) or Section 5.01(7) occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal of all the Securities of that series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of that series, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. The Maturity of the 2026 Notes shall not otherwise be accelerated as a result of an Event of Default.”
(b) In accordance with Section 3.01(17) of the Base Indenture, and in addition to the Events of Default set forth in the Base Indenture, the appointment of a receiver, conservator or similar official for the Company’s Principal Subsidiary Bank, shall be an Event of Default with respect to the 2026 Notes. An Event of Default described in this Section 3.09(b) shall be treated the same as an Event of Default described in Sections 5.01(6) and Section 5.01(7) of the Base Indenture with respect to the acceleration rights set forth in Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture, as modified by Section 3.09(a) above.
8 |
Section 3.10 Defeasance. Sections 4.03 and 4.04 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the 2026 Notes. However, and in addition, any defeasance of the 2026 Notes pursuant to Sections 4.03 or 4.04 of the Base Indenture shall be subject to the Company obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board and any additional requirements that the Federal Reserve Board may impose with respect to defeasance of the 2026 Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, due to a change in law, regulation or policy subsequent to the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Federal Reserve Board does not require that defeasance of instruments be subject to Federal Reserve Board approval in order for the instrument to be accorded Tier 2 Capital treatment, then no such approval of the Federal Reserve Board will be required for such defeasance.
Section 3.11 No Collateral. The 2026 Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any security interest in, or collateralization by, any rights, property or interest of the Company.
Section 3.12 Additional Terms. Other terms applicable to the 2026 Notes are as otherwise provided for in the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture.
ARTICLE 4
REdemption of the 2026 notes
Section 4.01 Optional Redemption. The Company may, at its option, redeem the 2026 Notes before the Stated Maturity Date, in whole or in part, on any Interest Payment Date on or after December 15, 2021. Any such redemption will be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date fixed by the Company.

Any early redemption of the 2026 Notes by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.02 will be subject to the receipt of the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, to the extent then required under applicable laws or regulations, including capital regulations.

REVERSE OF 2026 NOTE
UNION BANKSHARES CORPORATION
FIXED-TO-FLOATING RATE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE DECEMBER 15, 2026
This 2026 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of a series designated as the “Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2026” (herein called the “2026 Notes”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of One-Hundred-Fifty-Million Dollars ($150,000,000) on December 5, 2016. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of December 5, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, dated as of December 5, 2016 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”, and the Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and any other indentures supplemental thereto 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 Persons in whose names 2026 Notes are registered on the Security Register from time to time and of the terms upon which the 2026 Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms of the 2026 Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this 2026 Note. To the extent that the terms of this 2026 Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms of this 2026 Note shall govern to the extent such terms of this 2026 Note are not inconsistent with the terms made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
All capitalized terms used in this 2026 Note and not defined herein that are defined in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture. If any capitalized term used and defined in this 2026 Note is also defined in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture, in the event of any conflict in the meanings ascribed to such capitalized term, the definition of the capitalized term in this 2026 Note shall control.
The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the 2026 Notes, including the principal thereof and interest thereon, is subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of the Company constituting Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Base Indenture), on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions as provided and set forth in Article 13 of the Base Indenture and shall rank at least equally in right of payment with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of the Company, including securities issued pursuant to the Base Indenture the terms of which provide that such Securities rank junior in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness. Each Holder of this Security, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided.
A-6 |
If an Event of Default with respect to 2026 Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and interest owed on the 2026 Notes shall only become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article 5 of the Base Indenture or Section 3.09 of the First Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, the Holder of this 2026 Note has no right to accelerate the Maturity of this 2026 Note in the event the Company fails to pay the principal of, or interest on, any of the 2026 Notes or fails to perform any other obligations under the 2026 Notes or in the Indenture that are applicable to the 2026 Notes.
The Company may, at its option, redeem the 2026 Notes: (a) in whole or in part on any Interest Payment Date on or after December 15, 2021 or (b) in whole, but not in part, at any time following the occurrence of a Tax Event, Tier 2 Capital Event or 1940 Act Event. Any such redemption will be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date fixed by the Company; provided, however, that the interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the scheduled Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders thereof as of the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date. Any early redemption of the 2026 Notes by the Company will be subject to the receipt of the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, to the extent then required under applicable laws or regulations, including capital regulations.
The 2026 Notes are not entitled to the benefit of, or subject to, any sinking fund.
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 Securities at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities 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 aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a series at the time Outstanding, 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 2026 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this 2026 Note and of any 2026 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 2026 Note.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this 2026 Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this 2026 Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of, and interest on, this 2026 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 2026 Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The 2026 Notes shall not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any equity securities, other securities or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.
A-7 |
Sections 4.03 and 4.04 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the 2026 Notes. However, and in addition, any defeasance of the 2026 Notes pursuant to Sections 4.03 or 4.04 of the Base Indenture shall be subject to the Company obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board and any additional requirements that the Federal Reserve Board may impose with respect to defeasance of the 2026 Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, due to a change in law, regulation or policy subsequent to the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Federal Reserve Board does not require that defeasance of instruments be subject to Federal Reserve Board approval in order for the instrument to be accorded Tier 2 Capital treatment, then no such approval of the Federal Reserve Board will be required for such defeasance.
The 2026 Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any security interest in, or collateralization by, any rights, property or interest of the Company.
The 2026 Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this 2026 Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this 2026 Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
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 interest (if any) on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
U.S. Bank National Association will act as the Company’s principal Paying Agent with respect to the 2026 Notes through its offices presently located at 100 Wall Street, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10005, Attn: Global Corporate Trust Services. The Company may at any time rescind the designation of a Paying Agent, appoint a successor Paying Agent, or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts.
The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to the institution of proceedings by the Holders of 2026 Notes with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.
THE INDENTURE AND THE 2026 NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
