“Tier 2 Capital Event” shall mean the receipt by the Company of an opinion of independent bank regulatory counsel to the effect that, as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any rules, guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory authority for the Company or (b) any official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the 2026 Notes, the 2026 Notes do not constitute, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion will not constitute, Tier 2 Capital (or its then equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies), as then in effect and applicable to the Company that would preclude the 2026 Notes from being included as Tier 2 Capital.

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 selected by the Company for this purpose and whose names and contact information will be provided by the Company to the Calculation Agent, 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 Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, 5.00%. 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%.

“Senior Indebtedness” means all obligations (other than non-recourse obligations and the indebtedness issued under this Indenture) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Company for borrowed money, including both senior and subordinated indebtedness for borrowed money (other than the 2026 Notes), or for the payment of money relating to any lease which is capitalized on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time, or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and in each case, amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligations, whether existing as of the date of this Indenture or subsequently incurred by the Company unless, in the case of any particular indebtedness, renewal, extension or refunding, the instrument creating or evidencing the same or the assumption or guarantee of the same expressly provides that such indebtedness, renewal, extension or refunding is not superior in right of payment to or is pari passu with the 2026 Notes.

Section 3.02. Terms of the 2026 Notes. The following terms relating to the 2026 Notes are hereby established:

(a) Title. The 2026 Notes shall constitute a series of Securities having the title “Enterprise Financial Services Corp 4.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due November 1, 2026” and the CUSIP number 293712 AA3.

(b) Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, as amended hereby, shall be Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) on the Issue Date. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2026 Notes, the Company may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders, create and issue additional Securities having the same terms as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the 2026 Notes in all respects and so that such additional 2026 Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with, and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as, the 2026 Notes initially issued, provided that such additional 2026 Notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the 2026 Notes.

(c) Person to Whom Interest is Payable. Interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name the 2026 Notes are registered for such interest at the close of business on the 15th day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day. Any such interest which is payable, but not so punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall cease to be payable to the Holder on such relevant record date by virtue of having been a Holder on such date, and such defaulted interest may be paid by the Company to the person in whose name the 2026 Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted

 

4


interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of 2026 Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date that complies with Section 307 of the Base Indenture, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the 2026 Notes may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange and in compliance with the Base Indenture.

(d) Maturity Date. The entire outstanding Principal of the 2026 Notes shall be payable on November 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).

(e) Interest.

(i) The 2026 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum from and including November 1, 2016 to, but excluding, November 1, 2021 (the “Fixed Rate Period”). Interest accrued on the 2026 Notes during the Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2017 (each such date a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable during the Fixed Rate Period will be paid to each holder in whose name a 2026 Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month immediately preceding the applicable Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Regular Record Date”).

(ii) The 2026 Notes will bear a floating interest rate from and including November 1, 2021 to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date (the “Floating Rate Period”). The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Rate Period shall be equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus 3.387%. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on the 2026 Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year commencing on February 1, 2022 through the Maturity Date or Redemption Date (each such date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”, together with a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable during the Floating Rate Period will be paid to each holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month immediately preceding the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Floating Rate Regular Record Date”).

(iii) The amount of interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months up to, but excluding November 1, 2021, and, the amount of interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date for the 2026 Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (any payment made on such date will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Interest Payment Date); provided, that in the event that any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, 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. Dollar amounts resulting from interest calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

(iv) The Company agrees that for so long as any of the 2026 Notes are outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate Three-Month LIBOR in respect of each Floating Rate Period (the “Calculation Agent”). The calculation of Three-Month LIBOR for each applicable Floating Rate Period by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. The Calculation Agent shall have all the rights, protections and indemnities afforded to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and hereunder. The Company hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association as Calculation Agent for the purposes of determining Three-Month LIBOR for each Floating Interest Period and U.S. Bank National Association accepts the appointment. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as Calculation Agent or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent, which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed; provided, that if a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed by the Company or such successor has not accepted such position within

 

5


30 days after the giving of notice of resignation by the Calculation Agent, the resigning Calculation Agent may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent with respect to such series. The Calculation Agent’s calculation of the amount of any interest payable after the first Reset Rate Determination Date will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s principal offices.

(f) Place of Payment of Principal and Interest. So long as the 2026 Notes shall be issued in global form, the Company shall make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, all payments of principal and interest on the 2026 Notes by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository. If the 2026 Notes are not in global form, the Company, may, at its option, make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, payments of principal and interest on the 2026 Notes by check mailed to the address of the person specified for payment in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(i) and (e)(ii) above. A global security with respect to the 2026 Notes shall be exchangeable for physical securities of such series only in accordance with Section 305 of the Base Indenture (as amended hereby). The provisions regarding Global Security registration (provided for in eighth and ninth (8th and 9th) paragraphs of Section 305 of the Base Indenture) shall apply to the 2026 Notes, provided that (i) the text of the eighth (8th) paragraph of Section 305 of the Base Indenture shall be substituted in its entirety with the following:

“Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security shall be registered for transfer or exchange, or authenticated or delivered, pursuant to this Section 305 or Sections 304, 306, 1206 or 406 in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee until (i) the Depositary with respect to a Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either such event, the Company notifies the Trustee that it is unable to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days of any such event, or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable. Upon the occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence or such other conditions as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such series, such Global Security may be registered for transfer or exchange for Securities registered in the names of, or authenticated and delivered to, such Persons as the Depositary with respect to such series shall direct.”

(g) Redemption. The 2026 Notes shall be redeemable, in each case, in whole or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company prior to the Maturity Date beginning with the Interest Payment Date on November 1, 2021, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is required under the rules of the Federal Reserve. The 2026 Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2026 Notes before the Maturity Date in whole or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event or a Tax Event, or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.). Any such redemption will be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date fixed by the Company. The provisions of Article 4 of the Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the 2026 Notes pursuant to this Article 3. Any partial redemption will be made in accordance with The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) applicable procedures among all of the Holders of the 2026 Notes. If any 2026 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such 2026 Note shall state that it is a partial redemption and the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The 2026 Notes are not subject to redemption or prepayment at the option of the Holders.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (d), (e) or (g) of Section 801 (as amended herein) of the Base Indenture occurs, then the principal amount of all of the outstanding 2026 Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2026 Notes and premium, if any, shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the 2026 Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 801 of the Base Indenture.
