ARTICLE 1
INTERPRETATION

1.1 To be read with Principal Indenture.

This Sixth Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture are integral to the Principal Indenture and shall hereafter be read together with the Principal Indenture and shall have effect as if all the provisions thereof and hereof were contained in one instrument.

1.2 Definitions.

In this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, unless there is something in the subject matter or context inconsistent therewith:

(a) the expressions “Article” and “Section” followed by a number mean and refer to the specified Article and Section of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture unless otherwise expressly stated. Other expressions defined in the Principal Indenture have the same meanings when used in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

(b) “3-month CDOR” means, for any quarterly floating rate interest period, the average bid rate of interest (expressed as an annual percentage rate) rounded to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of 1.00% (with .000005 per cent being rounded up) for Canadian

3

dollar bankers’ acceptances with maturities of three months which appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page as of 10:15 a.m., Toronto time, on the first Business Day of such quarterly interest period; provided that if such rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page on such day or if the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service is not available or ceases to exist, the 3-month CDOR for such period will be determined using an Alternative CDOR Page as of an Alternative Time on such day. If no such Alternative CDOR Page is available on such day, the 3-month CDOR for such period shall be the average of the bid rates of interest (expressed and rounded as set forth above) for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances with maturities of three months for same day settlement as quoted by such of the Schedule I banks (as defined in the Bank Act (Canada)) as may quote such a rate as of 10:15 a.m., Toronto time, on the first Business Day of such quarterly interest period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation, a relevant regulatory supervisor or relevant administrator determines that the 3-month CDOR has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may appoint a calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”) to assist in determining an appropriate alternative rate and adjustments thereto, and the decisions of such Calculation Agent shall be binding on the Corporation, the Trustee, and the holders of the Debentures. The Corporation or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, shall use, as a substitute for the 3-month CDOR and for each future interest payment date, the alternative reference rate selected or recommended by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority, relevant regulatory supervisor or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof), or identified through any other applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance, that is consistent with accepted market practice for debt obligations such as the Debentures (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Corporation or the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Corporation, as applicable, shall make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate and the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, interest payment dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice or applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the Debentures (collectively, “Adjustments”), provided, however, that (i) if the Corporation determines that there is no clear accepted market practice or applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance for such Adjustments, the Corporation shall appoint a Calculation Agent to make such Adjustments as it determines appropriate for the Alternative Rate, and (ii) if the Corporation or the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Corporation, as applicable, determines that there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced the 3-month CDOR in customary market usage, the 3-month CDOR for such interest payment date shall be the 3-month CDOR for the immediately preceding interest payment date, and the process set forth in this paragraph to determine an Alternative Rate shall be repeated for each subsequent interest payment date until such time as an Alternative Rate is determined.

(c) “Alternative CDOR Page” shall mean the display designated as page “CDOR” on Bloomberg or an equivalent service that displays average bid rates of interest for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances with maturities of three months.

(d) “Alternative Time”, for any Alternative CDOR Page, shall mean the time of day at which such Alternative CDOR Page becomes available.

(e) “Business Day” means any day on which Canadian chartered banks are open for business in Toronto and which is not a Saturday or Sunday.

4

(f) “Debentures” means the debentures of the series referred to in Article 2 of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

(g) “Indenture” (when not qualified by the words “Principal”, “Original” or “Supplemental”), “hereto”, “hereby”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” and similar expressions refer to the Principal Indenture as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture and this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and not to any particular Article, Section, subdivision or portion hereof.

(h) “LICAT” means the Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test (or any successor or replacement capital requirements applicable to the Corporation) for Canadian federally regulated life insurance companies.

(i) “Program Amount” means the aggregate principal amount of debentures qualified for issuance from time to time under the Prospectus then in effect. As of the date of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture the Program Amount is $10,000,000,000.

(j) “Prospectus” means the short form base shelf prospectus of the Corporation with respect to the continuous offering of debentures filed with the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada from time to time, including any amendments or supplements thereto (other than any Prospectus Supplement).

(k) “Prospectus Supplement” means a prospectus supplement for the Debentures.

(l) “Reuters Screen CDOR Page” means the display designated as page “CDOR” on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the CDOR page on that service) for purposes of displaying Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptance rates.

(m) “S$” means the lawful money of Singapore.

(n) “Superintendent” means the Superintendent of Financial Institutions appointed pursuant to the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Act (Canada).

(o) “U.S. Person” means a U.S. Person as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

Whenever interest is computed on a basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of such interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

The aggregate principal amount of debentures of other series which may be issued under the Indenture is unlimited, but such debentures may be issued only upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The right is reserved to the Corporation to purchase or redeem Debentures for cancellation in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

The principal hereof may become or be declared due and payable before the stated maturity date in the events, in the manner, with the effect and at the times provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all Holders of Debentures outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such Holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments signed by the Holders of a specified majority of such Debentures outstanding.

This Debenture has not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States of America, its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction or to, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

INTERPRETATION

1.1 To be read with Principal Indenture.

This Seventh Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture are integral to the Principal Indenture and shall hereafter be read together with the Principal Indenture and shall have effect as if all the provisions thereof and hereof were contained in one instrument.

1.2 Definitions.

In this Seventh Supplemental Indenture, unless there is something in the subject matter or context inconsistent therewith:

3

(a) the expressions “Article” and “Section” followed by a number mean and refer to the specified Article and Section of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture unless otherwise expressly stated. Other expressions defined in the Principal Indenture have the same meanings when used in this Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

(b) “3-month CDOR” means, for any quarterly floating rate interest period, the average bid rate of interest (expressed as an annual percentage rate) rounded to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of 1.00% (with .000005 per cent being rounded up) for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances with maturities of three months which appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page as of 10:15 a.m., Toronto time, on the first Business Day of such quarterly interest period; provided that if such rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page on such day or if the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service is not available or ceases to exist, the 3-month CDOR for such period will be determined using an Alternative CDOR Page as of an Alternative Time on such day. If no such Alternative CDOR Page is available on such day, the 3-month CDOR for such period shall be the average of the bid rates of interest (expressed and rounded as set forth above) for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances with maturities of three months for same day settlement as quoted by such of the Schedule I banks (as defined in the Bank Act (Canada)) as may quote such a rate as of 10:15 a.m., Toronto time, on the first Business Day of such quarterly interest period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation, a relevant regulatory supervisor or relevant administrator determines that the 3-month CDOR has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may appoint a calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”) to assist in determining an appropriate alternative rate and adjustments thereto, and the decisions of such Calculation Agent shall be binding on the Corporation, the Trustee, and the holders of the Debentures. The Corporation or the Calculation Agent, as applicable, shall use, as a substitute for the 3-month CDOR and for each future interest payment date, the alternative reference rate selected or recommended by the central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority, relevant regulatory supervisor or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof), or identified through any other applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance, that is consistent with accepted market practice for debt obligations such as the Debentures (the “Alternative Rate”). As part of such substitution, the Corporation or the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Corporation, as applicable, shall make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate and the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, interest payment dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice or applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the Debentures (collectively, “Adjustments”), provided, however, that (i) if the Corporation determines that there is no clear accepted market practice or applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance for such Adjustments, the Corporation shall appoint a Calculation Agent to make such Adjustments as it determines appropriate for the Alternative Rate, and (ii) if the Corporation or the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Corporation, as applicable, determines that there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced the 3-month CDOR in customary market usage, the 3-month CDOR for such interest payment date shall be the 3-month CDOR for the immediately preceding interest payment date, and the process set forth in this paragraph to determine an Alternative Rate shall be repeated for each subsequent interest payment date until such time as an Alternative Rate is determined.

4

(c) “Alternative CDOR Page” shall mean the display designated as page “CDOR” on Bloomberg or an equivalent service that displays average bid rates of interest for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances with maturities of three months.

(g) “Debentures” means the debentures of the series referred to in Article 2 of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

(h) “Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date that is three (3) Business Days prior to a date fixed for redemption, the bid yield to maturity on such date, compounded semi-annually, which a non-callable Government of Canada nominal bond would be expected to carry if issued, in Canadian dollars in Canada, at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a  term to  maturity equal to the period between the date fixed  for redemption and May 13, 2030 (the “Applicable Term”), as determined by two independent Canadian investment dealers (each of  which is  a  member  of the  Investment Industry  Regulatory Organization of Canada) selected by the Corporation, and based on a linear interpolation of the yields represented by the arithmetic average of bids observed in the market at or about 10:00 am (Toronto time) on the relevant date for each of the two outstanding non-callable Government of Canada nominal bonds which have the terms to maturity which most closely span the Applicable Term on such date, where such arithmetic average is based in each case on the bids quoted to such independent investment dealers.

(i) “Indenture” (when not qualified by the words “Principal”, “Original” or “Supplemental”), “hereto”, “hereby”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” and similar expressions refer to the Principal Indenture as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture and this Seventh Supplemental Indenture and not to any particular Article, Section, subdivision or portion hereof.

Whenever interest is computed on a basis of a year (the “deemed year”) which contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) by multiplying such rate of such interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

This Debenture is one of the debentures of the Corporation, issued or issuable in one series under the provisions of the Trust Indenture made as of May 25, 2016 (the “Principal Indenture”) as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture made as of July 27, 2017 and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture made as of May 12, 2020 (collectively, the “Indenture”) between the Corporation and BNY Trust Company of

The 2.818% Fixed/Floating Subordinated Debentures due May 13, 2035 (the “Debentures”), of which this is one, are issuable by the Corporation from time to time in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of debentures of other series which may be issued under the Indenture is unlimited, but such debentures may be issued only upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Debentures are direct obligations of the Corporation but are not secured by any mortgage, pledge, hypothec or other charge.

As interest on this Debenture becomes due, the Corporation (except in the case of payment at maturity or on acceleration or redemption, at which time payment of interest may be made upon surrender of this Debenture) shall, at least three business days prior to each date on which interest becomes due, forward or cause to be forwarded by (i) electronic transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the applicable Holder, or (ii) first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder hereof, or in the case of joint Holders, to the joint Holder whose name first appears on the register, subject to the provisions of the Indenture and in the manner provided therein, a cheque for such interest, in each case less any tax required by law to be deducted. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the transfer of such funds or the mailing of such cheque shall satisfy and discharge all liability for interest on this Debenture to the extent of the sum represented by such cheque (plus the amount of any tax withheld).

Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, Debentures of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures in any other authorized denomination or denominations.

IN THE CASE OF (C) ABOVE, THE HOLDER MUST FURNISH TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IF THE CORPORATION IS A “FOREIGN ISSUER” WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER, A NEW CERTIFICATE, BEARING NO LEGEND, DELIVERY OF WHICH WILL CONSTITUTE “GOOD DELIVERY”, MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUST COMPANY (THE “TRUSTEE”) UPON DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND A DULY EXECUTED DECLARATION IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT;

provided, that if the Debentures are being sold under Clause (B), the legend may be removed by providing a declaration to the Trustee, to the following effect (or in such form as the Corporation or the Trustee may from time to time prescribe):

The undersigned (A) acknowledges that the sale of                           Debentures, represented by certificate numbers  ____________, to which this declaration relates is being made in reliance upon Rule 904 of Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and (B) certifies that (1) it is not an “affiliate” of Manulife Financial Corporation (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), (2) the offer of such securities was not made to a person in the United States and at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside the United States and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States, (3) neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts in connection with the offer and sale of such securities, and (4) the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities Act. Terms used herein have the meaning given to them by Regulation S.

and, provided further, that if any such securities are being sold under paragraph (C)(2) above the legend may be removed by delivery to the Trustee of an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act or state securities laws.

Prior to the issuance of the Debentures, the Corporation shall notify the Trustee, in writing, concerning which certificates are to bear the legend described above. The Trustee will thereafter maintain a list of all registered holders from time to time of legended Debentures.
