Junior
Subordinated Debt Security due 2037
of
Xxxxxxxx
Financial, Inc.
Xxxxxxxx
Financial, Inc., a bank holding company incorporated in New Hampshire (the
"Company"), for value received promises to pay to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National
Association, not in its individual capacity but solely as Institutional Trustee
for Xxxxxxxx Capital Trust IV, a Delaware statutory trust (the
"Securityholder"), or registered assigns, the principal sum of Ten Million
Three
Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,310,000) on June 15, 2037 and to pay interest
on said principal sum from June 15, 2007, or from the most recent interest
payment date (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date") to which interest
has
been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth
herein) in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of
each
year commencing September 15, 2007, at a variable per annum rate equal to
LIBOR
(as defined in the Indenture) plus 1.49% (the "Interest Rate") (provided,
however, that the Interest Rate for any Interest Payment Period may not exceed
the highest rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by
United States law of general applicability) until the principal hereof shall
have become due and payable, 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 an annual rate
equal
to the Interest Rate in effect for each such Extension Period compounded
quarterly. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall
be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed
in
the relevant interest period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if any Interest Payment Date, other than on the Maturity Date, any
Redemption Date (to the extent redeemed) or the Special Redemption Date,
falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, then any interest payable will be paid
on,
and such Interest Payment Date will be moved to, the next succeeding Business
Day, and additional interest will accrue for each day that such payment is
delayed as a result thereof. If the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date or
the
Special Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the
principal, premium, if any, and/or interest payable on such date will be
paid on
the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue
(except
that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment
will be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day). The interest installment
so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date
will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as defined in said
Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date
for
such interest installment, except that interest and any Deferred Interest
payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal
is
paid. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided
for
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Securityholders on
such
regular record date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Debt
Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the
close
of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment
of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered
Securityholders not less than 10 days prior to such special record date,
all as
more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of and interest on this
Debt
Security shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee (or other
Paying Agent appointed by the Company) maintained for that purpose 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; provided,
however,
that
payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed
to
the registered Securityholder at such address as shall appear in the Debt
Security Register or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account appropriately designated by the holder hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the holder of this Debt Security is the Institutional
Trustee, the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on
this Debt Security shall be made in immediately available funds when due
at such
place and to such account as may be designated by the Institutional Trustee.
All
payments in respect of this Debt Security 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.
Upon
submission of Notice (as defined in the Indenture) and so long as no Event
of
Default pursuant to paragraphs (c), (e), (f) or (g) of Section 5.01 of the
Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right
under
the Indenture, from time to time and without causing an Event of Default,
to
defer payments of interest on the Debt Securities by extending the interest
distribution period on the Debt Securities at any time and from time to time
during the term of the Debt Securities, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly
periods (each such extended interest distribution period, an "Extension
Period"), during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable
(except any Additional Interest that may be due and payable). During any
Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debt Securities,
and
interest on such accrued interest (such accrued interest and interest thereon
referred to herein as "Deferred Interest") will accrue at an annual rate
equal
to the Interest Rate applicable during such Extension Period, compounded
quarterly from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were
it
not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law. No Extension
Period may end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. At the end
of any
such Extension Period the Company shall pay all Deferred Interest then accrued
and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided,
however,
that no
Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date, Redemption Date (to
the
extent redeemed) or Special Redemption Date; and provided,
further,
however, during any such Extension Period, the Company may not (i) declare
or
pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make
a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock or
(ii)
make any payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu
in
all respects with or junior in interest to the Debt Securities or (iii) make
any
payment under any guarantees of the Company that rank in all respects
pari
passu
with or
junior in respect to the Capital Securities Guarantee (other than (a)
repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock
of the
Company (A) in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other
similar arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers,
directors or consultants, (B) in connection with a dividend reinvestment
or
stockholder stock purchase plan or (C) in connection with the issuance of
capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable
for
such capital stock), as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered
into
prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of any exchange,
reclassification, combination or conversion of any class or series of the
Company's capital stock (or any capital stock of a subsidiary of the Company)
for any class or series of the Company's capital stock or of any class or
series
of the Company's indebtedness for any class or series of the Company's capital
stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company's
capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital
stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of
a
dividend in connection with any stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance
of
rights, stock or other property under any stockholder's rights plan, or the
redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend
in the
form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock
or the
stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is
the
same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari
passu
with or
junior to such stock). Prior to the termination of any Extension Period,
the
Company may further extend such period, provided,
that
such period together with all such previous and further consecutive extensions
thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly periods, or extend beyond
the
Maturity Date, Redemption Date (to the extent redeemed) or Special Redemption
Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of
all
Deferred Interest, the Company may commence a new Extension Period, subject
to
the foregoing requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be due
and
payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but Deferred
Interest shall accrue upon each installment of interest that would otherwise
have been due and payable during such Extension Period until such installment
is
paid. The Company must give the Trustee notice of its election to begin or
extend an Extension Period ("Notice") not later than the related regular
record
date for the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Notice shall describe, in
reasonable detail, why the Company has elected to begin an Extension Period.
The
Notice shall acknowledge and affirm the Company's understanding that it is
prohibited from issuing dividends and other distributions during the Extension
Period. Upon receipt of the Notice, an Initial Purchaser shall have the right,
at its sole discretion, to disclose the name of the Company and the fact
that
the Company has elected to begin an Extension Period. The Trustee shall give
notice of the Company's election to begin a new Extension Period to the
Securityholders.
The
indebtedness evidenced by this Debt Security is, to the extent provided in
the
Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment
in
full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Debt Security is issued subject
to the
provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each holder of this Debt
Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Securityholder's
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge
or
effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee such
Securityholder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each holder
hereof, by such holder's acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the
acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture
by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter
incurred, and waives reliance by each such Securityholder upon said
provisions.
The
Company waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment,
notice of protest, and all other demands and notices.
This
Debt
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to and shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until
the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on
behalf
of the Trustee.
The
provisions of this Debt Security are continued on the reverse side hereof
and
such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as
though
fully set forth at this place.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has duly executed this certificate.

REVERSE

This
Debt

all issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture"), dated
as
of June 15, 2007, duly executed and delivered between the Company and Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), to which Indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the
Debt
Securities (referred to herein as the "Debt Securities") of which this Debt
Security is a part. The summary of the terms of this Debt Security contained
herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the
Indenture.
Upon
the
occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or
a
Capital Treatment Event (each a "Special Event"), this Debt Security may
become
due and payable, in whole or in part, at any time, within 90 days following
the
occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or Capital Treatment
Event (the "Special Redemption Date"), as the case may be, at the Special
Redemption Price. In the event that the Special Redemption Date falls on
a day
prior to the LIBOR Determination Date for any Interest Payment Period, then
the
Company shall be required to pay to Securityholders, on the Business Day
following such LIBOR Determination Date, any additional amount of interest
that
would have been payable on the Special Redemption Date had the amount of
interest determined on such LIBOR Determination Date been known on the first
day
of such Interest Payment Period. The Company shall also have the right to
redeem
this Debt Security at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on
any
March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 on or after June 15, 2012
(a
"Redemption Date"), at the Redemption Price.
Any
redemption pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be made, subject to the
receipt by the Company of prior approval from any regulatory authority with
jurisdiction over the Company if such approval is then required under applicable
capital guidelines or policies of such regulatory authority, upon not less
than
30 days' nor more than 60 days' notice. If the Debt Securities are only
partially redeemed by the Company, the Debt Securities will be redeemed
pro
rata
or by
lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee.
"Redemption
Price" means 100% of the principal amount of the Debt Securities being redeemed
plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Debt Securities to the Redemption
Date
or, in the case of a redemption due to the occurrence of a Special Event,
to the
Special Redemption Date if such Special Redemption Date is on or after June
15,
2012.
"Special
Redemption Price" means (1) if the Special Redemption Date is before June
15,
2012, One Hundred Five Percent (105%) of the principal amount to be redeemed
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such redemption
and
(2) if the Special Redemption Date is on or after June 15, 2012, the Redemption
Price for such Special Redemption Date.
In
the
event of redemption of this Debt Security in part only, a new Debt Security
or
Debt Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name
of
the Securityholder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
Upon
the
occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (c), (e), (f) or
(g),
of Section 5.01 of the Indenture, the principal of all of the Debt Securities
may be declared, and in certain cases shall ipso
facto
become,
due and payable, and upon such acceleration shall become due and payable,
in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the
Indenture.
The
Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with
the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount
of the Debt Securities at the time outstanding affected thereby, as specified
in
the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding
any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of
the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner
the
rights of the Securityholders; provided,
however,
that no
such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, without the consent
of
the holders of each Debt Security then outstanding and affected thereby (i)
change the Maturity Date of any Debt Security, or reduce the principal amount
thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce the rate or manner of calculation
of
the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce (other
than as a result of the maturity or earlier redemption of any such Debt Security
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Debt Security) or
increase the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities then outstanding,
or
change any of the redemption provisions, or make the principal thereof or
any
interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that
of
the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of
public and private debts, or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder
to
institute suit for the payment thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage
of Debt Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such
supplemental indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities
at
the time outstanding, on behalf of all of the Securityholders, to waive any
past
default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture,
or established pursuant to the Indenture, and its consequences, except (a)
a
default in payments due in respect of any of the Debt Securities, (b) in
respect
of covenants or provisions of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the holder of each Debt Security affected, or (c)
in
respect of the covenants of the Company relating to its ownership of Common
Securities of the Trust. Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder
of
this Debt Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Securityholder and upon all future holders
and
owners of this Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued in exchange
herefor
or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise),
irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is
made
upon this Debt Security.
No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt Security
or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is
absolute and unconditional, to pay all payments due on this Debt Security
at the
time and place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed.
As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein
set forth, this Debt Security is transferable by the registered holder hereof
on
the Debt Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Debt Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in
Wilmington, Delaware accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed
by the
registered holder hereof or such Securityholder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Debt Securities of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued
to the
designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for
any
such registration of transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation
thereto.
Prior
to
due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debt Security, the Company,
the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any transfer agent
and
the Debt Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof
as
the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debt Security shall be overdue
and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon) for the purpose
of receiving payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on
this Debt Security and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor
the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor any transfer
agent
nor any Debt Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest
on
this Debt Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect
hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator,
stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the
Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue
of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment
or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof
and as
part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and
released.
The
Debt
Securities are issuable only in registered certificated form without coupons.
As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein
set forth, Debt Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Debt Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested
by the Securityholder surrendering the same.
All
terms
used in this Debt Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
THE
LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE INDENTURE AND THE DEBT SECURITIES,
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION
5-1401
