In order to process such settlements the Trustee or Security Registrar will require each of the Holders to deliver to it certain information required by DTC’s applicable procedures including the beneficial owner’s depositary participant name and number, the applicable CUSIP number and the principal amount that such Holder holds and the parties further acknowledge that same day settlement is subject to timing cutoffs determined by DTC. The Trustee shall have no liability for the failure of a Holder to submit or timely submit such information to the Trustee or Security Registrar.
Section III.02Terms of the Notes. The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established:
(a)Title. The Notes shall constitute a series of Securities having the title “Triumph Bancorp, Inc. 3.500% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031”.
(b)Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, as amended hereby, shall be Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000) on the Issue Date. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue further notes (the “Additional Notes”) ranking equally with the Notes (including any Exchange Securities) and with identical terms in all respects (or in all respects except for the offering price, the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes) in order that such Additional Notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes (including any Exchange Securities) and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes (including any Exchange Securities); provided however, that a separate CUSIP number will be issued for any such Additional Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to the procedures of the DTC.
(c)Person to Whom Interest is Payable. Interest payable on each Note, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (as defined herein) will be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the 15th day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day. Any such interest which is payable, but is not so punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall cease to be payable to the Holder on such relevant record date by virtue of having been a Holder on such date, and such defaulted interest may be paid by the Company to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of defaulted interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date that complies with Section 307 of the Base Indenture, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange and in compliance with the Base Indenture.

(d)Maturity Date. The entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall be payable on September 1, 2031 (the “Maturity Date”).
(e)Interest.
(i)The Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.500% per annum from, and including, the Issue Date to, but excluding, September 1, 2026 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), or earlier Redemption Date. Interest accrued on the Notes during the Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, (each such
- 8 -
date a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”) with the first such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being March 1, 2022 and the last such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being September 1, 2026 or earlier Redemption Date. The interest payable on each Note during the Fixed Rate Period will be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Regular Record Date”), whether or not such day is a Business Day.
(ii)The Notes will bear a floating per annum interest rate from, and including, September 1, 2026 to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or any earlier Redemption Date that occurs subsequent to September 1, 2026 (the “Floating Rate Period”). The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Interest Period will be equal to the then-current Benchmark plus 286 basis points. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year (each such date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”, and together with a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being December 1, 2026 and the last such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being the Maturity Date or any earlier Redemption Date that occurs subsequent to September 1, 2026; and the term “Floating Interest Period” when used in reference to a point in time occurring during the Floating Rate Period, shall mean the period commencing on the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the initial Floating Interest Period, commencing on September 1, 2026) to, but excluding, the next succeeding Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (and, in the case of the last such Floating Interest Period, from, and including, the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date to, but excluding, such Maturity Date or earlier Redemption Date). The initial Floating Interest Period applicable to the Notes is from, and including, September 1, 2026 to, but excluding, December 1, 2026. The interest payable on each Note during the Floating Rate Period will be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Floating Rate Regular Record Date”), whether or not such day is a Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Benchmark is less than zero, then the Benchmark shall be deemed to be zero.
(iii)The interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months to, but excluding, September 1, 2026. The interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed. If a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date or the payment of principal and interest on the Maturity Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, but the payments made on such dates will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and the Holders of the Notes will not be entitled to any further interest or other payments. If a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the
- 9 -
immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to, but excluding, such Business Day. Dollar amounts resulting from interest calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.
(iv)The Calculation Agent will calculate the Benchmark in respect of each applicable Floating Interest Period. The calculation of the Benchmark for each applicable Floating Interest Period by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. The Calculation Agent’s calculation of the amount of any interest payable during the Floating Rate Period will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s principal offices.
(v)Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(1)If the Company determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, then the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes during the applicable Floating Interest Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.
(2)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time, and such changes shall become effective without consent from the relevant Holders or any other party.
(3)The Company is expressly authorized to make certain determinations, decisions and elections under the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, including with respect to the use of any Benchmark Replacement during the Floating Rate Period and under this Section 3.02(e)(v). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company pursuant to the benchmark transition provisions set forth herein, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of 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, and any Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions and Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes, the Calculation Agent and the Trustee absent manifest error, may be made in the Company’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein relating to the Notes, shall become effective without consent from any other party.
(4)For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the interest that will be payable for each Floating Interest Period on the Notes will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement plus 286 basis points
(vi)Any Calculation Agent appointed by the Company shall have all the rights, protections and indemnities afforded to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and hereunder. Any Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time. For the avoidance of
- 10 -
doubt, if at any time there is no Calculation Agent appointed by the Company, then the Company shall be the Calculation Agent, unless and until a successor Calculation Agent is appointed by the Company. The Company may appoint any of its Affiliates to be the Calculation Agent. The role of Calculation Agent for the purpose of determining a particular Benchmark after a Benchmark Transition Event, are separate and distinct from any other roles hereunder, including without limitation the roles of Trustee and of the Calculation Agent for determining Three-Month Term SOFR prior to a Benchmark Transition Event. As of the date of this Third Supplemental Indenture, Wells Fargo Bank will only be the Calculation Agent for the purpose of determining a particular Benchmark after a Benchmark Transition Event, if in its sole discretion it agrees in writing to such appointment.
(vii)The Company shall notify the Trustee and any Calculation Agent in writing (i) following its determination of the occurrence of the Benchmark Transition Event or the Benchmark Replacement Date, and (ii) of any Benchmark Replacements or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
(viii)If a Benchmark Replacement Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred and, for any reason, the Calculation Agent has not been notified of the Benchmark Replacement at least two (2) Business Days prior to the next applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, then for purposes of next Floating Rate Interest Payment Date and each Floating Rate Interest Payment Date thereafter until the Company has notified the Calculation Agent of the Benchmark Replacement, the Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the interest rate set for the interest payment made on the last Floating-Rate Interest Payment Date prior to such Benchmark Replacement Event; provided that, from and after the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date that is more than two (2) Business Days after the Company has notified the Calculation Agent of the Benchmark Replacement in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(vii), the Benchmark Replacement shall apply.
(ix)Neither the Trustee, Paying Agent nor Calculation Agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of the Benchmark, 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 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 have been satisfied, or (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.
(x)Neither the Trustee, Paying Agent, nor Calculation Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Third Supplemental Indenture as a result of the unavailability of SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.
- 11 -
(xi)In the event that SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) is not available on any determination date, then unless the Calculation Agent is notified of a Replacement Benchmark in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture within two (2) Business Days, the Calculation Agent shall use the interest rate in effect for the immediately prior interest period.
(xii)If the Calculation Agent at any time or times determines in its reasonable judgment that guidance is needed to perform its duties, or if it is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Calculation Agent may (but is not obligated to) reasonably request guidance in the form or written instructions (or, in its sole discretion, oral instruction followed by written confirmation) from the Company, on which the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely without liability. The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to refrain from action pending receipt of such instruction.
(f)Place of Payment of Principal and Interest. So long as the Notes shall be issued in global form, the Company shall make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, all payments of principal and interest on the Notes by wire transfer in immediately available funds in Dollars to DTC or its nominee, in accordance with applicable procedures of DTC. If the Notes are not in global form, the Company, may, at its option, make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, payments of principal and interest on the Notes by check mailed to the address of the Person specified for payment in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(i) and (e)(ii) above, as applicable. A Global Note with respect to the Notes shall be exchangeable for physical securities of such series only if:
(i)DTC is at any time unwilling or unable or ineligible to continue as a depository or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so notified in writing;
(ii)The Company, in its sole discretion, determines not to have any of the Notes represented by one or more registered Global Notes (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto), and executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such Global Notes shall be so exchangeable (and the Trustee consents thereto); or
(iii)an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority in principal amount of the Notes represented by such Global Notes advise DTC to cease acting as a depository for such Global Notes.
(g)Redemption. The Notes shall be redeemable, in each case, in whole or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company prior to the Maturity Date beginning with the Interest Payment Date on September 1, 2026, but not prior thereto, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is required under the rules of the Federal Reserve. The Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes before the Maturity Date in whole but not in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event or a Tax Event, or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.). Any such redemption will be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date fixed by the Company. In the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, any partial redemption will be made in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures among all of the Holders of the Notes and will be reflected in the records of the Trustee or its nominee as a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state that it is a
- 12 -
partial redemption and the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A replacement Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. The Notes are not subject to redemption or prepayment at the option of the Holders. The provisions of Article Eleven of the Base Indenture (as amended herein) shall apply to any redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.02, except that Section 1104 of the Base Indenture is amended and supplemented, solely with respect to the Notes, by inserting the following sentence immediately before the last sentence of Section 1104:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, any redemption may, at the option of the Company, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption or notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall 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 delivered (or delivered electronically if the Notes are held by any depository)) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice of redemption may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, or such notice of redemption may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Company any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived.”
(h)Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund for the Notes.
(i)Denomination. The Notes and any beneficial interest in the Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(j)Currency of the Notes. The Notes shall be denominated, and payment of principal and interest of the Notes shall be payable in, the currency of the United States of America.

Acceleration shall only occur in the circumstances further described under the Indenture, as amended hereby in Section 3.02(o).
(l)Stated Maturity. The principal of the Notes shall be payable on September 1, 2031 subject to acceleration as provided under the Indenture.
(m)Forms of Notes. The Notes shall be issued as Registered Securities either as global Securities in the form of Exhibit A or as definitive Securities in the form of Exhibit B.
(n)Additional Event of Default. In addition to the Events of Default provided for in Section 501 of the Base Indenture, an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Notes in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that appoints a Custodian for the Company’s principal banking subsidiary (which, for the avoidance of doubt, as of the date of this Third Supplemental Indenture, is TBK Bank). Such Event of Default shall be treated for all purposes under the Indenture as if it were an Event of Default under Section 501(6) of the Base Indenture.
(o)Acceleration of Maturity, Rescission and Annulment. Section 502 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes, except that the first paragraph thereof shall be substituted with the following:
- 13 -
“If an Event of Default under clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all the Notes, together with any premium, Make-Whole Amount, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, thereon, shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. The Maturity of the Notes shall not otherwise be accelerated as a result of an Event of Default.”
(p)Ranking. The Notes shall rank junior to and shall be subordinated to all Senior Debt of the Company, whether existing as of the date of this Third Supplemental Indenture, or hereafter issued or incurred, including all indebtedness relating to money owed to general creditors and trade creditors. By their terms, the Company’s Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2035, Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Note due 2037, Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due July 7, 2036, Unsecured Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Notes due September 15, 2033, Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due September 2032 and Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due July 2034 rank junior and are subordinated to the Notes. Subject to the terms of the Base Indenture, if the Trustee or any Holder of any of the Notes receives any payment or distribution of the Company’s assets in contravention of the subordination provisions applicable to the Notes before all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, property or securities, including by way of set-off or any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes, then such payment or distribution will be held in trust for the benefit of holders of Senior Debt or their representatives to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash or payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt of all unpaid Senior Debt.
(q)No Collateral. The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any security interest in, or collateralization by, any rights, property or interest of the Company.
(r)Satisfaction and Discharge. Article Four of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.
(s)Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

Triumph Bancorp, Inc., a Texas corporation (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [____] Dollars ($[___]) (or such other amount as set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note attached hereto) on September 1, 2031 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date”), unless redeemed prior to such date. This Note will bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.500% per annum from, and including, the Issue Date, to, but excluding, September 1, 2026 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), or earlier Redemption Date. Interest accrued on this Note during the Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”), with the first such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being March 1, 2022 and the last such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being September 1, 2026 or earlier Redemption Date. This Note will bear interest at a floating per annum interest rate from, and including, September 1, 2026 to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or any earlier Redemption Date that occurs subsequent to September 1, 2026 (the “Floating Rate Period”). The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Interest Period will be equal to the then-current Benchmark plus 286 basis points. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on this Note will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year (each such date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”, and together with a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being December 1, 2026 and the last such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being the Maturity Date or any earlier Redemption Date that occurs subsequent to September 1, 2026.
The interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months to, but excluding, September 1, 2026. The interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed. If a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date for this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date or the payment of principal and interest on the Maturity Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, but the payments made on such dates will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and the Holders of this Note will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment. If a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to, but excluding, such Business Day. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the Benchmark shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Benchmark is zero, then the Benchmark shall be deemed to be zero.
Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note 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 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

3.500% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031
TRIUMPH BANCORP, INC.
3.500% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of a series designated as the “Triumph Bancorp, Inc. 3.500% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031” (herein called the “Notes”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000) on the Issue Date. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of subordinated debt securities of the Company issued or issuable under and pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, dated as of the Issue Date (the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and any other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Persons in whose names Notes are registered from time to time and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern to the extent that such terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note are not inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.
All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. To the extent that any capitalized term used in this Note and defined herein is also defined in the Indenture but conflicts with the definition provided in the Indenture, the definition of the capitalized term in this Note shall control.
The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest thereon, is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date hereof or hereafter incurred, and on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Securities and with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of the Company and not by its terms subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of types that include the Notes. Each Holder of this Note, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided.
The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital (or its then equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies) (the “Federal Reserve”), as then in effect and applicable to the Company.
If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and interest owed on the Notes shall only become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article Five of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02(k) and (o) of the Third Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, there is no right of acceleration in the case of a default in the payment of principal of or interest or Additional Amounts on this Note or in the Company’s nonperformance of any other obligation under this Note or the Indenture.
A-7
The Benchmark is subject to replacement by the Benchmark Replacement Rate and the calculation of interest on the Notes is subject to the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions and the Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes in accordance with the Third Supplemental Indenture.
The Company is expressly authorized to make certain determinations, decisions and elections under the terms of the Indenture and this Note, including with respect to the use of any Benchmark Replacement during the Floating Rate Period and under Section 3.02(e)(v) of the Third Supplemental Indenture. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company pursuant to the benchmark transition provisions set forth in the Indenture, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of 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, and any Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions and Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes, the Calculation Agent and the Trustee absent manifest error, may be made in the Company’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein relating to the Notes, shall become effective without consent from any other party.
This Note shall be redeemable, in each case, in whole or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company prior to the Maturity Date beginning with the Interest Payment Date on September 1, 2026, but not prior thereto, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is required under the rules of the Federal Reserve. This Note may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes before the Maturity Date in whole but not in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event or a Tax Event, or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.). Any such redemption will be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date fixed by the Company. Any partial redemption of this Note will be made in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures among all of the Holders of this Note and will be reflected in the records of the Trustee or its nominee as a decrease in the principal amount of this Note. If this Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to this Note shall state that it is a partial redemption and the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A replacement Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. This Note is not subject to redemption or prepayment at the option of the Holders.
There shall be no sinking fund for the Notes.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register described in Section 305 of the Base Indenture, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the sole owner or Holder of this Note for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Security is a global note, represented by one or more permanent global certificates registered in the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (each a “Global Note” and collectively, the “Global Notes”). Accordingly, unless and until it is exchanged for definitive securities, this Note may not be transferred except as a whole by The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any nominee to a successor Depositary or any nominee of such successor. Ownership of beneficial interests in this Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interest of persons that have accounts with the Depositary (“Participants”)) and the records of Participants (with respect to interests of persons other than Participants). Beneficial interests in Notes owned by persons that hold through Participants will be evidenced only by, and transfers of such beneficial interests with such Participants will be effected only through, records maintained by such Participants. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in this Note will not be entitled to have any definitive securities and will not be considered the owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture.
Except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture, Participants and owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Notes in the form of definitive securities and will not be considered Holders of Notes. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent or any of their respective agents will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee or any direct or indirect Participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the related Notes. The Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent and each of their respective agents may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes, including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Notes to be issued.
Except as provided in Section 3.02 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, beneficial owners of Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in the form of definitive securities, and no Global Note will be exchangeable except for another Global Note of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such person is not a Participant, on the procedures of the Participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder under the Notes.
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Notes represented by a Global Note to those persons may be limited. In addition, because the Depositary can act only on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through Participants, the ability of a person having an interest in Notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the Depositary’s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of Notes by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to the Notes.
The Company may appoint one or financial institutions to act as its Paying Agents. The Company may add, replace or terminate Paying Agents from time to time. The Company may also choose to act as its own Paying Agent. The Trustee will initially act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to the Notes through its Corporate Trust Office presently located at 600 S. 4th Street, 7th floor, Minneapolis, MN 55415, MAC N9300-070, Attention:
A-9
Corporate Trust Services—Administrator, Triumph Bancorp, Inc. The Company must notify the Holders of any changes in the Paying Agents.
Notices to the Holders of registered Notes in the form of definitive securities will be given to such Holders at their respective addresses in the Security Register, or in the case of Global Notes, electronic delivery in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to the institution of proceedings by the Holders of Notes with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.
THIS NOTE IS GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Triumph Bancorp, Inc., a Texas corporation (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [], or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [____] Dollars ($[___]) on September 1, 2031 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date”), unless redeemed prior to such date. This Note will bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.500% per annum from, and including, the Issue Date, to, but excluding, September 1, 2026 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), or earlier Redemption Date. Interest accrued on this Note during the Fixed Rate Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”), with the first such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being March 1, 2022 and the last such Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being September 1, 2026 or earlier Redemption Date. This Note will bear interest at a floating per annum interest rate from, and including, September 1, 2026 to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or any earlier Redemption Date that occurs subsequent to September 1, 2026 (the “Floating Rate Period”). The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Interest Period will be equal to the then-current Benchmark plus 286 basis points. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on this Note will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year (each such date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”, and together with a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being December 1, 2026 and the last such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being the Maturity Date or any earlier Redemption Date that occurs subsequent to September 1, 2026.
The interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months to, but excluding, September 1, 2026. The interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed. If a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date for this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date or the payment of principal and interest on the Maturity Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, but the payments made on such dates will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and the Holders of this Note will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment. If a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to, but excluding, such Business Day. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the Benchmark shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Benchmark is zero, then the Benchmark shall be deemed to be zero.
Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

TRIUMPH BANCORP, INC.
3.500% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of a series designated as the “Triumph Bancorp, Inc. 3.500% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031” (herein called the “Notes”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000) on the Issue Date. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of subordinated debt securities of the Company issued or issuable under and pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, dated as of the Issue Date (the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and any other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Persons in whose names Notes are registered from time to time and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern to the extent that such terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note are not inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.
All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. To the extent that any capitalized term used in this Note and defined herein is also defined in the Indenture but conflicts with the definition provided in the Indenture, the definition of the capitalized term in this Note shall control.
The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest thereon, is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date hereof or hereafter incurred, and on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Securities and with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of the Company and not by its terms subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of types that include the Notes. Each Holder of this Note, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided.
The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital (or its then equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies) (the “Federal Reserve”), as then in effect and applicable to the Company.
If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and interest owed on the Notes shall only become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article Five of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02(k) and (o) of the Third Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, there is no right of acceleration in the case of a default in the payment of principal of or interest or Additional Amounts on this Note or in the Company’s nonperformance of any other obligation under this Note or the Indenture.

The Benchmark is subject to replacement by the Benchmark Replacement Rate and the calculation of interest on the Notes is subject to the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions and the Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes in accordance with the Third Supplemental Indenture.
The Company is expressly authorized to make certain determinations, decisions and elections under the terms of the Indenture and this Note, including with respect to the use of any Benchmark Replacement during the Floating Rate Period and under Section 3.02(e)(v) of the Third Supplemental Indenture. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company pursuant to the benchmark transition provisions set forth in the Indenture, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of 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, and any Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions and Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes, the Calculation Agent and the Trustee absent manifest error, may be made in the Company’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein relating to the Notes, shall become effective without consent from any other party.
This Note shall be redeemable, in each case, in whole or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company prior to the Maturity Date beginning with the Interest Payment Date on September 1, 2026, but not prior thereto, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is required under the rules of the Federal Reserve. This Note may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes before the Maturity Date in whole but not in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event or a Tax Event, or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.). Any such redemption will be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date fixed by the Company. Any partial redemption of this Note will be made in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures among all of the Holders of this Note and will be reflected in the records of the Trustee or its nominee as a decrease in the principal amount of this Note. If this Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to this Note shall state that it is a partial redemption and the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A replacement Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. This Note is not subject to redemption or prepayment at the option of the Holders.
There shall be no sinking fund for the Notes.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
