Article 2
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES
Section 2.01Designation and Principal Amount.
There is hereby authorized a series of Debt Securities designated the “5.301% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2032,” initially offered in the aggregate principal amount of
$400,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Base Indenture.
Section 2.02Maturity.
Unless earlier redeemed pursuant to Section 3.02 of this Supplemental Indenture, the date upon which the Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is the Maturity Date.
Section 2.03Form, Payment and Appointment.
(a) Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.
(b) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Company may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
(c) The Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Registrar for the Notes shall initially be the Trustee.
(d) The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depository with respect to the Global Notes. The Trustee shall act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.
(e) The Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof in book-entry form only.
Section 2.04Global Notes.
The Notes shall be represented by a permanent global certificate (collectively, the “Global Notes”) deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co. Unless and until certificated notes are issued under the limited circumstances described in the Indenture or this Section 2.04, no Holder shall be entitled to receive a definitive certificate representing the Notes. So long as DTC or any successor depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of the Global Note, DTC or any successor depositary, or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered to be the sole owner or holder of the notes for all purposes of the Indenture. Beneficial interests in the Global Note will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Investors may elect to hold interests in the Global Note through DTC either directly if they are participants in DTC or indirectly through organizations that are participants in DTC. In connection with any proposed transfer outside the book entry only system, there shall be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting
obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on the information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.
Section 2.05Interest.
(a) Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the Issue Date to, but excluding, the first interest payment date and then from, and including, the immediately preceding interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to, but excluding, the next interest payment date (or if the Notes are redeemed during the period, the Redemption Date) (individually referred to as an “Interest Payment Date” and collectively as the “Interest Payment Dates”) or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Each of these periods is referred to as an “Interest Period.”
(b) During the period from, and including, the Issue Date to, but excluding, February 27, 2031 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.301% per annum. Such interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 of each year, commencing on August 27, 2026 (each such date, a “Fixed Interest Payment Date”). During the period from, and including, February 27, 2031, to, but excluding, February 27, 2032 (the “Floating Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Compounded SOFR plus 1.94%, as determined by the Calculation Agent. Such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on May 27, 2031, August 27, 2031, November 27, 2031 and on the Maturity Date (each such date, a “Floating Interest Payment Date”). Compounded SOFR for each Interest Period in the Floating Rate Period will be calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula set forth in this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Observation Period relating to such Interest Period.
For the Fixed Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any Fixed Interest Payment Date, any Redemption Date for the Notes or the Maturity Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next day that is a Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.
For the Floating Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Interest Period (or any other relevant period) and a 360-day year. The amount of accrued interest payable on this Note for each Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period will be computed by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Period divided by 360. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application and will in no event be lower than
zero. For the Floating Rate Period, if any Floating Interest Payment Date of this Note (other than the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, that Floating Interest Payment Date will be postponed and the related payment of interest on this Note will be made on the next day which is a Business Day, except that if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, then such Floating Interest Payment Date will be advanced to the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day, and in each case, the related Interest Periods will also be adjusted for such non-Business Days.
(c) Method of Payment. Interest will be paid to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the related Interest Payment Date; provided that if the Notes are global notes held by DTC, the record date for such Notes will be the close of business on the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (such date the “Regular Record Date”), and provided further that interest payable on the maturity of the principal of the Notes or (subject to the exceptions described in this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes) any Redemption Date will be paid to the person to whom principal is paid. The Notes will be payable as to principal and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose which shall be in Dallas, Texas, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Debt Security Register of the Company, provided that payment shall be made directly to the Holder of the Notes (by Federal funds wire transfer or otherwise) if the Holder has delivered written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such payment date requesting that such payment will be so made and designating the bank account to which such payments shall be so made. A “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, and that is not a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
(d) The Calculation Agent shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Indenture and the Notes, including but not limited to determination of interest, redemption price, premium, if any, and any other amounts payable on the Notes. The Calculation Agent shall make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Calculation Agent shall provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the calculations to any Holder upon the written request of such Holder. The Trustee, acting in any capacity hereunder, shall have no liability or responsibility for making any calculation called for under the Indenture or the Notes, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Calculation Agent’s calculations without independent verification thereof.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, if the Company or its designee determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to
determining SOFR, then the benchmark replacement provisions set forth in Section 2.07 below will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the Notes.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the benchmark replacement provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest rate for each Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement plus 1.94%.
(g) If a SOFR IndexStart or SOFR IndexEnd is not published on the associated Interest Payment Determination Date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR” shall mean, for the applicable Interest Period in the Floating Rate Period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/reference-rates/additional-information-about-reference-rates, or any successor source. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180-calendar days” shall be removed. If SOFR does not so appear for any day “i” in the Observation Period (“SOFRi”), SOFRi for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.
Section 2.06Ranking.
The Notes shall be unsecured senior indebtedness of the Company and shall rank equally and ratably in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to time.
Section 2.07Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(a) Benchmark Replacement. If the Company or its designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred on or prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark (as defined below) on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.
(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.
(c) Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company or its designee pursuant to the benchmark replacement provisions described
herein, including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:
(i)will be conclusive and binding on the beneficial owners and Holders of the Notes and the Trustee absent manifest error;
(ii)if made by the Company, will be made in the Company’s sole discretion;
(iii) if made by the Company’s designee (which may be the Company’s affiliate), will be made after consultation with the Company, and such designee (which may be the Company’s affiliate) will not make any such determination, decision or election to which the Company reasonably objects; and
(iv)notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or this Note, shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee or any other party.

(e) None of the Trustee, Paying Agent, or the Calculation Agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of SOFR or the SOFR Index, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate or index have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, adjustments as to any alternative spread thereon, the business day convention, interest determination dates or any other relevant methodology applicable to such substitute or successor benchmark.

Article 3
REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF THE NOTES
Section 3.01No Sinking Fund.
The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. Sections 3.06 and 3.07 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.
Section 3.02Optional Redemption.
(a) The Company may redeem the Notes at the Company’s option, in whole, but not in part, on the Par Call Date but not prior thereto (except upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 3.02 (b)), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Company may also redeem the Notes at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after January 28, 2032 (30 days prior to the Maturity Date) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
(b) The Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that on at least 30 days but no more than 60 days prior written notice delivered to the Holders, the Company may also, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, within 90 days of the occurrence of a Tax Event or a 1940 Act Event.
(c) Prior to giving any notice to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.02(b), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that (i) a Tax Event or a 1940 Act Event has occurred and (ii) the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes in accordance with Section 3.02(b), and the Trustee may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate.
(d) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating the redemption price or any component thereof.
(e) Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed. Any such notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to our obligation to redeem the Notes subject to such notice of redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, refinancing or other corporation transaction. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if as determined in good faith by the Company, any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. The Company will provide the Trustee with written notice of the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions precedent, the delay of such redemption or the rescission of such notice of redemption prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date in the same manner that the related notice of redemption was given to the Trustee, and the Trustee will send a copy of such notice to the Trustee to the Holders in the same manner that the related notice of redemption was given to such Holders.
(f) In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata or by lot. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.
(g) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
(h) In addition to the Company’s right to redeem the Notes as set forth above in this Section 3.02, the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in open market transactions, tender offers or otherwise.
Section 3.03Effect of Redemption.
Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, (a) interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, (b) the Notes shall become due and payable at the redemption price and (c) the Notes shall be void and all rights of the Holders in respect of the Notes shall terminate and lapse (other than the right to receive the redemption price upon surrender of such Notes but without interest on such redemption price). Following the notice of a redemption, neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes to be redeemed.
Section 3.04Redemption Procedures.
On or prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Notes that are to be redeemed on that date. If the Company gives an irrevocable notice of redemption with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 3.02 of this Supplemental Indenture in connection with an optional redemption, and the Company has deposited with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed, then, on the Redemption Date, the Paying Agent shall irrevocably deposit such funds with the Depository. The Company shall also give the Trustee irrevocable instructions and authority to instruct the Depository to pay the redemption price in immediately available funds to the Holders of beneficial interests in the Global Notes. If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, then the redemption price shall be payable on the next Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). Interest to be paid on or before the Redemption Date for any Notes called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders on the Regular Record Date for the related Interest Payment Dates. If any Notes called for redemption are not so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the redemption price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the Coupon Rate then in effect.
Section 3.05No Other Redemption.
Except as set forth in this Article 3, the Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the Maturity Date.
Article 4
FORM OF NOTE
Section 4.01Form of Note.

Article 5
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 5.01Events of Default.
This Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 shall replace Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.
Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(i) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or mandatory repurchase, or otherwise;
(ii) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;
(iii) the Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture with respect to the Notes and such default or breach continues for a period of 90 consecutive days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under the Indenture;
(iv) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law,
(a)commences a voluntary case,
(b)consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,
(c)consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or
(d)makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
(v) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(a) is for relief against the Company as debtor in an involuntary case and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days,
(b) appoints a Custodian of the Company or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, or
(c) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(vi) a receivership of a Principal Subsidiary Bank under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, or other applicable law.
Section 5.02Acceleration of Maturity.
In the case of an Event of Default under Section 5.01(iv) or Section 5.01(v) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company, the principal amount of all outstanding Notes and any interest accrued thereon will become due and payable without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee may declare the principal amount of all outstanding Notes, and any interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable.
A default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or in the Company’s non-performance of any other obligation under the Notes of the Indenture will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture and will not give rise to any right of acceleration.
At any time after such an acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in Article VI of the Base Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on all Notes, (B) the principal of or premium (if any) on any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such acceleration and interest thereon, and (C) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture, together with any compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances due to the Trustee under the Indenture;
(2) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture; and (3) the rescission would not conflict with any final judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 5.03Default in Payment.
In the case of a default (not constituting an Event of Default) in the payment of interest or principal, or premium, if any, which failure to pay continues for 30 days, the Company shall, upon the demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, the amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal, and premium, if any, and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest is legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal, and premium, if any, and on any overdue interest.
If a Default with respect to Notes (other than a Default constituting an Event of Default) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Indenture or the Notes or in aid of the exercise of any power granted therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

(b) Section 7.02(f) of the Base Indenture shall be amended in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand;”
(c) The word “and” shall be deleted from the end of Section 7.02(g) of the Base Indenture.
(d) The period at the end of Section 7.02(g) of the Base Indenture shall be deleted and replaced with “;”; and
(e) The following paragraphs shall be added as new paragraphs (i) and (j) to Section 7.02 of the Base Indenture:

(j) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee from the Company or from any Holder at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the existence of a Default or Event of Default under the Notes and this Indenture.”

Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture shall be amended in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The Company also covenants to indemnify, defend and protect the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, liability, damage or expense Incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee.
The Company and the Holders agree that such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a Lien prior to that of the Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, particular Debt Securities and Coupons.
Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents incur expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law.”

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]
TEXAS CAPITAL BANCSHARES, INC., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rates specified below.
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the Issue Date to, but excluding, the first Interest Payment Date and then from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date (or if this Note is redeemed during the period, the Redemption Date) (individually referred to as an “Interest Payment Date” and collectively as the “Interest Payment Dates”) or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Each of these periods is referred to as an “Interest Period.”
During the period from, and including, the Issue Date to, but excluding, February 27, 2031 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), this Note will bear interest at the rate of 5.301% per annum. Such interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 of each year, commencing on August 27, 2026 (each such date, a “Fixed Interest Payment Date”). During the period from, and including, February 27, 2031, to, but excluding, February 27, 2032 (the “Floating Rate Period”), this Note will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Compounded SOFR plus 1.94%, as determined by the Calculation Agent. Such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on May 27, 2031, August 27, 2031, November 27, 2031 and on the Maturity Date (each such date, a “Floating Interest Payment Date”). Compounded SOFR for each Interest Period in the Floating Rate Period will be calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula set forth in the Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Observation Period relating to such Interest Period.
For the Fixed Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any Fixed Interest Payment Date, any Redemption Date for this Note or the Maturity Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next day that is a Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.
For the Floating Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Interest Period (or any other relevant period) and a 360-day year. The amount of accrued interest payable on this Note for each Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period will be computed by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note by (ii) the product of
(a) the interest rate for the relevant Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Period divided by 360. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application and will in no event be lower than zero. For the Floating Rate Period, if any Floating Interest Payment Date of this Note (other than the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date) falls on a day which is not a Business Day, that Floating Interest Payment Date will be postponed and the related payment of interest on this Note will be made on the next day which is a Business Day, except that if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, then such Floating Interest Payment Date will be advanced to the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day, and in each case, the related Interest Periods will also be adjusted for such non-Business Days.
The Calculation Agent will determine Compounded SOFR, the interest rate and accrued interest for each Interest Period in the Floating Rate Period in arrears as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Interest Payment Determination Date for such Interest Period and prior to the relevant Floating Interest Payment Date and will notify the Company (if the Company is not the Calculation Agent) of Compounded SOFR, such interest rate and accrued interest for each Interest Period in the Floating Rate Period as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination, but in any event by the Business Day immediately prior to the relevant Floating Interest Payment Date. At the request of a Holder of this Note, the Company will provide Compounded SOFR, the interest rate and the amount of interest accrued with respect to any Interest Period in the Floating Rate Period, after Compounded SOFR, such interest rate and accrued interest have been determined. The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of interest payments for any Interest Period in the Floating Rate Period, will be final and binding absent manifest error, will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s designated office and will be provided in writing to the Trustee.
Interest will be paid to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the related Interest Payment Date; provided that if the Notes are global notes held by DTC, the record date for such Notes will be the close of business on the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, and provided further that interest payable on the maturity of the principal of the Notes or (subject to the exceptions described in this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes) any Redemption Date will be paid to the person to whom principal is paid. The Notes will be payable as to principal and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in Dallas Texas, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Debt Security Register of the Company, provided that payment shall be made directly to the Holder of the Notes (by Federal funds wire transfer or otherwise) if the Holder has delivered written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such
payment date requesting that such payment will be so made and designating the bank account to which such payments shall be so made. A “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, and that is not a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated as of February 27, 2026, as amended and supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) dated as of February 27, 2026, between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.
The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to issue additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Base Indenture with terms and conditions substantially identical to those of the Notes issued on the Issue Date (except for the issue date, public offering price and amount and date of the first payment of interest thereon) without the consent of the Holders of the Notes. The Notes issued on the Issue Date and any additional Notes shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture, provided that if the Notes issued on the Issue Date and the additional Notes are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a separate CUSIP number will be issued for the additional Notes.

4. | Optional Redemption and Regulatory Event Redemption |
The Company may redeem the Notes at the Company’s option, in whole, but not in part, on the Par Call Date but not prior thereto (except upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 3.02(b) of the Supplemental Indenture) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Company may also redeem the Notes at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after January 28, 2032 (30 days prior to the Maturity Date) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
The Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to their maturity date, except that the Company may also, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to,
but excluding, the Redemption Date, within 90 days of the occurrence of a Tax Event or a 1940 Act Event, in accordance with Section 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture.
The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating the redemption price of any component thereof.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed. Any such notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to our obligation to redeem the Notes subject to such notice of redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, refinancing or other corporation transaction.
In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
In addition to the Company’s right to redeem the Notes as set forth above in this paragraph 4, the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in open market transactions, tender offers or otherwise.
The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. The Notes shall not be repayable at the option of a Holder thereof prior to the Maturity Date.

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
