REVERSE OF NOTE

EVERBANK FINANCAL CORP

5.75% SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2025

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of a series designated as the “5.75% Subordinated Notes due 2025” (herein called the “Notes”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $175,000,000 on June 30, 2015. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of subordinated debt securities of the Company issued or issuable under and pursuant to, the Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of June 30, 2015, between the Company and Wells Fargo 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 June 30, 2015, thereto (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 Notes are registered on the Security Register from time to time and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the 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 Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern to the extent such terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note are not inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

All capitalized terms used in this 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 in this Note and defined herein 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 Note shall control.

The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof and interest thereon, is subordinate and junior in right of payment to obligations of the Company constituting the Senior Company Indebtedness (as defined in the Base Indenture) and, in certain circumstances, to Other Company Obligations (as defined in the Base Indenture), in each case, on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions as provided and set forth in Article XV of the Base Indenture and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Notes and with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of the Company issued under the Indenture and not by its terms subordinate and junior in right of payment to the promissory notes, bonds, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness of types that include the Notes. 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.

The Notes are intended to be treated as 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 (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies) (the “Federal Reserve Board”) as then in effect and applicable to the Company. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and


interest owed on the Notes shall only become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article V of the Base Indenture and Section 2.07 of the First Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, the Holder of this Note has no right to accelerate the maturity of this Note in the event the Company fails to pay interest on any of the Notes or fails to perform any other obligations under the Notes or in the Indenture that are applicable to the Notes other than in the case of an Event of Default.

The Notes of this series shall not be redeemable prior to the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company may redeem the Notes: (a) in whole or in part on or after the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date and (b) in whole, but not in part, at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event. No such redemption of the Notes by the Company prior to the Maturity Date shall be made without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board if such prior approval is or will be required at the scheduled Redemption Date in order for the Notes to qualify as tier 2 capital of the Company under the rules and guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board.

The Notes of this series are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. The Notes are not convertible into or exchangeable for any of the equity securities, other securities or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.

The Base Indenture provisions relating to defeasance and covenant defeasance in Sections 13.02 and 13.03 of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.

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 Company and 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.

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.


Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as the Company’s principal Paying Agent with respect to the Notes through its offices presently located at 150 East 42nd Street, 40th Floor, New York, New York 10017. 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.

Notices to the Holders of registered Notes will be mailed to such Holders at their respective addresses in the Security Register will be deemed to have been given on the fourth weekday (being a day other than Saturday or Sunday) after the date of mailing. The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to the institution of proceedings by the Holders of Notes with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.

THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
