of Securities of such series, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of
any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the
next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to
this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the

entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the
applicable Expiration Date (as hereinafter in this
Section provided) by Holders of the requisite principal amount
of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record
date. Nothing in
this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a
new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action
by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is

request to institute proceedings referred to in

this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or
direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after
such record date, provided that no
such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or
prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from
setting a new record date for any action for which a record
date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph
(whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically
and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no
effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is
taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the
Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to
each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner
set forth in Section 1.6.
With
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the
party hereto that sets such record dates may designate any day
as the “ Expiration Date
” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date
to any earlier or later day, provided that no
such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed
new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in
writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant
series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or
prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record
date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that set
such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated
the 180 th
day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect
thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as
provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180
th
day after the applicable record date.

limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any
action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so
with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such

of such principal amount.

affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears
in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in
any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders. In case, by reason of the suspension of or
irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it
shall be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to
Holders when said notice is required to be given pursuant to any
provision of this Indenture or of the relevant Securities, then any
manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled
to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers
of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any
action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Indenture.]
All
terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture

[
If

time, at its option, on or after __________, and subject to
the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture,

The
Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge
of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance by
the Company with certain conditions set forth in the
Indenture.
The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the Company and the Trustee at any time to enter
into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of
modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the
Company and of the Holders of the Securities, with the consent
of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of each series to be affected by
such supplemental indenture. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting 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

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

hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or
not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Security.

the case of the Securities of this series issued to a
PrivateBancorp Trust, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of this series fails to declare the
principal of all the Securities of this series to be
immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust
Agreement) of the Trust Preferred Securities of such
PrivateBancorp Trust then outstanding shall have such right by
a notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee; and upon
any such declaration the principal amount of and the accrued
interest (including any Additional Interest) on all the
Securities of this series shall become immediately due and
payable, provided that the
payment of principal and interest (including any Additional
Interest) on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the
extent provided in Article XIII of the
Indenture.
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 premium, if any)
and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is
registrable in the Securities Register, upon surrender of this
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency
of the Company maintained under Section 10.2 of the
Indenture duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written

or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Securities of this series, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees. 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.

Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name

provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable

series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who

this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any
series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the
Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the
form or terms of the Securities of the series have been
established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as
permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to
Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating,
(1)
if
the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to
Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.1, that such form
has been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;
(2)
if
the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant
to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, that such
terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture; and
(3)
that
such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee

conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will

valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’
rights and to general equity principles.
If
such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall

of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the
Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is
not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be
originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to
deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required
pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion
of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding
paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security
of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to
the authentication upon original issuance of the first
Security of such series to be issued.
Each
Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication.
No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture
or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there
appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company
shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as
provided in Section 3.9, for all purposes of this
Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section
3.4
Temporary Securities . Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and
upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of such
series in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by
their execution of such Securities.
If
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the
temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company
designated for that purpose without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series,
of any authorized denominations having the same Original Issue
Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as such
temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series.
Section
3.5
Registration, Transfer and Exchange . The Company
shall cause to be kept at each office or agency maintained for
registrations of transfers and exchanges in a Place of Payment
pursuant to Section 10.2 with respect to the Securities of
each series a register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of
Securities. Each such register is herein sometimes
referred to as the “ Securities
Register .” The Company shall designate one
Person to maintain the Securities Register for the Securities of
each series on a consolidated basis, and such Person is referred to
herein, with respect to such series, as the “ Securities Registrar
.” The Company appoints the Trustee as Securities
Registrar unless otherwise specified with respect to any particular
series in accordance with Section 3.1. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate
one or more of its offices as an office in which a register with
respect to the Securities of one or more series shall be
maintained, and the Company may designate itself the Securities
Registrar with respect to one or more of such
series. The Company may revoke any designation of a
Securities Registrar theretofore made by it. The
Securities Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and
the Company at all reasonable times.
Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the
office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of
any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity
and having the same terms.
At
the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for
other Securities of the same series of any authorized
denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, of the
same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the
same terms, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged
at such office or agency. Whenever any securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities
that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.
All
Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities
shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the
same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or
exchange.
Every
Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange
shall (if so required by the Company or the Securities
Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Securities.
The
provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall
apply only to Global Securities:
(1)
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
nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global

any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be
exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no
transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be
registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for
such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such
Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security and no
successor Depository has been appointed within 90 days of this
notice or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to
be so registered to act as depositary and no successor Depository
has been appointed within 90 days after the Company has
learned that the Depositary has ceased to be so
registered,
(B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default with respect to such Global Security, (C) the Company
in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security will be
so exchangeable or transferable or (D) there shall exist such
circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing
as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by
Section 3.1.
(3)
Subject
to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for
other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all
Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion
thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for
such Global Security shall direct.
(4)
Every
Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer
of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any
portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section,
Section 3.4, 3.6, 9.6, 11.6 or 14.3 or otherwise, shall be
authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a
Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
nominee thereof.
(5)
Neither
any members of, or participants in, the Depositary nor any other
Persons on whose behalf such members or participants may act shall
have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global
Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee
thereof, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be,
may be treated
