M&T Bank Corporation, a New York corporation which is registered as a bank holding company and a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and under Article III-A of the New York Banking Law (herein called the “Company”), which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [•] ($[•]) on July 26, 2023 (the “Security Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from July 26, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on January 26, April 26, July 26 and October 26 in each year, commencing October 26, 2018 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate described herein below, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture (including Section 1.13 thereof): (a) if an Interest Payment Date (other than the Security Maturity Date or any earlier Redemption Date) is not a Business Day, then such Interest Payment Date will be the next succeeding Business Day, unless the next succeeding Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding


Business Day and (b) if the Security Maturity Date or earlier Redemption Date of this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest, if any, otherwise payable on such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue from and after such Security Maturity Date or earlier Redemption Date, as applicable.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as and to the extent provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the related Interest Payment Date, except that interest payable on the Security Maturity Date or (subject to the exceptions described in Section 11.06(a) of the Base Indenture) any Redemption Date will be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed in the manner described in the Indenture, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. This Security is a Security for purposes of the Indenture.

This Security will bear interest for each Interest Period (as defined below) at a rate determined by the Calculation Agent. The interest rate on this Security for each day of each period from and including an Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the first such period, the issue date of the this Security) to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, Security Maturity Date or earlier Redemption Date, as the case may be (an “Interest Period”), will be a rate equal to LIBOR as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) plus 0.68% per annum.

“LIBOR” means, on any Interest Determination Date, the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months as such rate appears on Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM” (or such other page as may replace page BBAM on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If on an Interest Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, or if Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM” is not available at such time, the Calculation Agent will obtain such rate from “Reuters Page LIBOR01” (or such other page as may replace such page on such service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates). Subject to the LIBOR Alternative Rate Provision (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture), if no offered rate appears on Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM” or “Reuters Page LIBOR01” (or such other pages as may replace those pages on those services or any successor services) on an Interest Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Company will select four major reference banks in the London interbank market (which may include any underwriter of the Notes or any of their affiliates) and will request each of their principal London offices to provide to the Calculation Agent their respective offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the


second London Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative of single transactions in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the Company will select three major banks in New York City (which may include any underwriter of the Notes or any of their affiliates) and will request each of them to provide to the Calculation Agent a quotation of the rate offered by them at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index maturity of three months commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative of single transactions in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If three quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the rate of LIBOR for the next Interest Period will be set equal to the rate of LIBOR for the then current Interest Period (or, if there was no preceding interest reset date, the rate of interest will be the initial interest rate).

The interest rate for each Interest Period will be reset the first day of each Interest Period (each such date, an “Interest Reset Date”), and will be set for the initial interest period on July 26, 2018. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be the next succeeding Business Day, unless the next succeeding Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

The Interest Determination Date for the initial Interest Period is July 24, 2018 and for any other interest period will be the second London Business Day preceding the relevant Interest Reset Date. For purposes hereof, a “London Business Day” is a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Promptly upon determination, the Calculation Agent will inform the Company of the interest rate for the next Interest Period.

Absent manifest error, the determination of the interest rate by the Calculation Agent will be binding and conclusive on the Holders of this Security, the Paying Agent, the Trustee and the Company.

The amount of interest for each day that this Security is outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) will be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect on this Security for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by the principal amount of this Security (known as the “Actual/360” day count). The amount of interest to be paid on this Security for any Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amount for each day in such Interest Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary provided in the Indenture or herein, the interest rate on this Security will be limited to the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.


All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for this Security will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all U.S. dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of The Bank of New York Mellon, as paying agent, maintained for that purpose in New York, New York 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 at the option of the Company payment of principal or interest may be made by wire transfer in same-day funds to an account designated by the Person entitled thereto or by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security 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 signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its corporate seal.

[Reverse of Security]

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May 24, 2007 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York (now doing business as The Bank of New York Mellon), as Trustee, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of July 26, 2018 (the “Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered; provided that to the extent of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions in the Indenture and those contained in this Security, the Indenture shall govern. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

This Security is not subject to redemption at any time prior to June 26, 2023. At any time on or after June 26, 2023, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than 10 or more than 60 days’ prior notice redeem all or a portion this Security at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Security to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case, upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. The terms of the Indenture relating to Defeasance and Discharge will apply to this Security.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared 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 Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security 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 Security.


As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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 on this Security at the Stated Maturities expressed herein.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

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

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained under Section 10.02 of the Indenture for such purpose, 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 Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
