 Western Alliance Bank, a state charted bank organized under the laws of Arizona (herein called the “Bank”), for
value received, hereby promises to pay or deliver, as the case may be, to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [        ]
($[            ]) United States dollars on the maturity date shown above (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from and including the Issue Date specified above (the
“Issue Date”) or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on this Security or any predecessor Security has been paid or duly provided for, but excluding, the succeeding Interest Payment Date, on the
Interest Payment Dates specified above in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) and on the Maturity Date, at a fixed rate per annum equal to 5.00% from the Issue Date to, but excluding, July 15, 2020 and at a floating rate per
annum equal to three-month LIBOR plus 3.20%, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose
name this Security (or any predecessor Security) is registered (the “Holder”) at the close of business on the 

  
 2 








 
fifteenth calendar day next preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable at the Maturity Date of this Security will
be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and will be paid to the person in whose name
this Security (or any predecessor Security) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (the “Special Record Date”) to be fixed by the Bank, notice of which shall be given to
the Holder not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. 
 Interest shall accrue from and including June 29, 2015 or from and
including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2016, and ending on
July 15, 2020, and thereafter will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2020, through the Maturity Date or earlier redemption
of this Security. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months to, but excluding, July 15, 2020, and thereafter a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed. 

LIBOR shall be determined on the second Business Day before each Interest Period (each such date, an “interest determination date”). The interest
rate on the Securities bearing interest at the floating rate shall reset on the first day of each Interest Period (each such date a “reset date”). “Interest Period” shall be the period from and including the immediately preceding
Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 LIBOR will be determined as follows: 

(i) With respect to each interest determination date (a “LIBOR interest determination date”), LIBOR will be the ICE Benchmark Administration London
Interbank Offered Rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the LIBOR interest determination date that appears on the appropriate page of the
Reuters Screen as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR interest determination date. If no such rate so appears, LIBOR on such LIBOR interest determination date will be determined in accordance with provision described in clause (ii) below.

 (ii) If such screen does not include such a rate or is unavailable on a determination date, the Issuing and Paying Agent will request the principal
London office of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time,
on such determination date, to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time in U.S. dollars for a three-month period
beginning on the second London banking day after the determination date. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided, the rate for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; provided, however, that if the banks
so selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR interest determination date shall be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR interest determination date. “London Banking
Day” is any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted or, with respect to any future date, are expected to be transacted in the London interbank market. 

  
 3 








 If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), the Bank will pay interest on the next day
that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, and without any interest or other payment with respect to the delay. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of
principal and interest, if any, will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date. 

“Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York, New York
or Phoenix, Arizona are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 
 Payment of interest on this Security may be subject to
prior approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) or other applicable regulator of the Bank if the Bank is undercapitalized or has been so required by the FRB or other applicable regulatory authority. 

THE SECURITY MAY NOT BE REPAID PRIOR TO MATURITY, EITHER PURSUANT TO ACCELERATION IN AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, REPURCHASE BY THE BANK OR OTHERWISE, WITHOUT PRIOR
APPROVAL OF THE FRB AND THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS (THE “ADFI”). 
 Payment of principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on, this Security will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain an issuing and paying
agent (the “Issuing and Paying Agent”) authorized by the Bank to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Security on behalf of the Bank and having an office or agency (the “Issuing and Paying Agent Office”) in the United
States of America (the “Place of Payment”), where this Security may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations or requests in respect of payments with respect to this Security may be served. The Bank has
initially appointed U.S. Bank National Association as such Issuing and Paying Agent pursuant to the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement dated as of June 29, 2015 (the “Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement”), between the Bank and the
Issuing and Paying Agent, with the Issuing and Paying Agent Office currently located at 101 N. First Avenue, Suite 1600, Phoenix, Arizona 85003, Attention: William Jennings. 

Payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Security due at maturity will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation
and surrender of this Security to the Issuing and Paying Agent at the Issuing and Paying Agent Office in the Place of Payment; provided that this Security is presented to the Issuing and Paying Agent in time for the Issuing and Paying Agent to make
such payment in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest on this Security (other than at maturity) will be made by wire transfer to such account as has been appropriately designated to the Issuing and Paying Agent by the person
entitled to such payments.

 The Bank may, without the consent of the Holder of this Security, create and issue additional notes ranking
equally with this Security and otherwise same in all respects (except for the issue date, issue price and first Interest Payment Date), provided that any such additional notes are fungible with the Securities for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
Such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with this Security. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security
set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Issuing and Paying Agent by the manual
signature of an authorized signatory, this Security shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this
instrument to be duly executed by manual or facsimile signature.

 REVERSE OF SECURITY 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 5.00% Fixed to Floating Rate Subordinated Bank Notes due July 15, 2025 of the Bank (the
“Securities”) issued under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement. 
 Subordination 

The Bank’s indebtedness evidenced by this Security, including its obligations to pay principal and interest, is unsecured and subordinate and junior in
right of payment to the Bank’s Senior Indebtedness (as defined below). In the event of any insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, liquidation or similar proceedings of the Bank, all such senior obligations shall be entitled
to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, this Security. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to such senior
obligations, the Holder of this Security, together with holders of any obligations of the Bank ranking on a parity with this Security, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Bank the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, this Security or such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property, or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Bank ranking junior to this Security.

 “Senior Indebtedness” includes all deposits, borrowed money (secured and unsecured), obligations of the Bank arising from off-balance sheet
guarantees and direct-credit substitutes, and obligations associated with derivative products such as interest rate and foreign-exchange contracts, commodity contracts and similar arrangements and obligations to the Bank’s general creditors
(other than in respect of trade receivables). 
 Nothing herein shall impair the obligation of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and any premium and interest on this Security in accordance with its terms. 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Security,
the FRB or any receiver or conservator of the Bank appointed by the FRB, as part of any transaction or plan of reorganization or liquidation may transfer or direct the transfer of the obligations represented by this Security to any bank selected by
such entity that expressly assumes the obligation of the due and punctual payment of the unpaid principal, premium, if any, and interest on this Security and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions contained in this
Security. 
 Any depository institution, as that term is defined in Section 3(c)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, which holds a Security (or
beneficial interest therein) shall be deemed to have agreed by acquiring such Security (or beneficial interest) to waive any rights to offset all or any portion of the indebtedness represented by such Security (or interest) against any indebtedness
or other obligations of such institution to the Bank. 
 Event of Default; Waiver 

An “Event of Default” with respect to this Security shall occur if the Bank is subject to any receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, liquidation
or similar proceeding. The Bank will promptly notify, and provide copies of such notice to, the Issuing and Paying Agent, upon the 

  
 R-1 








 
occurrence of any Event of Default. The Issuing and Paying Agent will promptly send copies of such notice to the Holders of the Securities through the Depository Trust Company, as depositary (the
“Depositary”). 
 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Holder of this Security may declare the principal of this Security,
together with any unpaid accrued interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable by written notice to the Bank. Upon such declaration and notice, such principal amount and accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable; provided,
however, that, to the extent then required under or pursuant to applicable capital or other regulations (as described on the face of this Security), this Security may not be repaid prior to maturity without the prior approval of the FRB and the
ADFI. The Bank will apply to the FRB and the ADFI for prior approval of repayment promptly after receiving notice of acceleration. 
 Any Event of Default
with respect to this Security may be waived by the Holder hereof. 
 The Bank waives demand, presentment for prepayment, notice of nonpayment, notice of
protest and all other notices to the extent it may lawfully do so. 
 Neither the failure to pay principal of or interest on the Security nor a failure to
perform any other obligation of the Bank under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement or the Security constitutes an “Event of Default” with respect to the Security, and no right of acceleration exists in any such case. 

Optional Repayment and Redemption 
 The Securities shall
not be subject to repayment at the option of the Holders, in whole or in part, prior to maturity. The Securities shall not be subject to any sinking fund. 

The Securities are redeemable by the Bank, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2020, and on every Interest Payment Date thereafter (or
at any time on or after the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date). 
 The Securities are also redeemable by the Bank, in whole but not in part, upon the
occurrence of the following: 
  

	 	(i)	 a “tax event,” which means the receipt by the Bank of an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that (a) an amendment to or
change (including any announced prospective amendment or change) in any law or treaty, or any regulation thereunder, of the United States or any of its political subdivisions or taxing authorities, (b) a judicial decision, administrative
action, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation, (c) an
amendment to or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or
interpretation, or (d) a threatened challenge asserted in writing in connection with an audit of the Bank’s federal income tax returns or positions or a similar audit of any of the Bank’s subsidiaries or a publicly known threatened
challenge asserted in writing against any other taxpayer that has raised 



  
 R-2 









	 	
capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the Securities, in each case, occurring or becoming publicly known on or after the date of the issuance of the
Securities, resulting in more than an insubstantial risk that the interest payable on the Securities is not, or within 90 days of receipt of such opinion of tax counsel, will not be, deductible by the Bank, in whole or in part, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes; 

  

	 	(ii)	a “capital event,” which means the receipt by the Bank of an opinion of independent bank regulatory counsel to the effect that, as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced
prospective change) in, the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any rules, guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory authority for Western Alliance Bancorporation or the Bank or (b) any official administrative
pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the Securities, the Securities
do not constitute, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion will not constitute, Tier 2 capital (or its then equivalent if the Bank is subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the FRB (or any successor
regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies), as then in effect and applicable to the Bank; or 

  

	 	(iii)	an “investment company event,” which means the Bank becoming required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 


Any redemption of the Securities will be at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Securities redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on
such Securities to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any partial redemption will be made pro rata among all of the holders of the Securities. Any redemption of the Securities would require prior approval of the FRB and the ADFI. 

The Bank will give irrevocable notice of its intention to redeem the Securities not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption,
provided that the notice of redemption will be given no earlier than 90 days prior to the effective date of a tax event, capital event or investment company event. 

From and after any redemption date, if monies for the redemption of Securities will have been made available for redemption on the redemption date, the
Securities will cease to bear interest, if applicable, and the only right of the holders of the Securities shall be to receive payment of the principal amount and, if appropriate, all unpaid interest accrued to the redemption date. 

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets 
 The Bank shall
not consolidate with or merge into any other entity or convey, transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety to any entity, unless the successor expressly assumes the Bank’s obligations on the Securities. 

  
 R-3 








 Miscellaneous 

Beneficial interests represented by this Security are exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate
principal amount, only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Bank in writing that it is unwilling or unable to act as a depositary or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Bank within 90 days, (y) the Bank, at its option, notifies the Issuing and Paying Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Securities in definitive form or (z) any event
shall have occurred and be continuing that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities. In such circumstances, upon surrender by the Depositary or a successor depositary of the Global
Securities, Securities in definitive form will be issued to each person that the Depositary or a successor depositary identifies as the beneficial owner of the related Securities. Any Security representing such beneficial interests that is
exchangeable pursuant to this paragraph shall be exchangeable in whole for definitive Securities in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. Such definitive Securities shall be registered in the name or names of such person or persons as the Depositary shall instruct the Security Registrar (as defined below). 

In case any Security shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and such Security or evidence satisfactory to the Bank of the loss, theft
or destruction thereof (together with indemnity satisfactory to the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Bank and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Bank) shall be delivered to the Issuing and Paying
Agent and the Bank, a new Security of like tenor will be issued by the Bank in exchange for the Security so mutilated, or in lieu of the Security so destroyed or lost or stolen. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring the
indemnity referred to above and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Security shall be borne by the Holder of the Security so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen. If any Security which has matured or is about to mature shall
become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) upon compliance by the Holder
thereof with the provisions of this paragraph. 
 The Bank shall cause to be kept at the office of the Security Registrar designated below a register (the
register maintained in such office or any other office or agency of the Bank in the Place of Payment herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in such form as the Security Registrar may determine, in which, subject to reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Security Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Securities and of transfers of the Securities. The Bank has initially appointed the Issuing and Paying Agent “Security Registrar,” pursuant
to the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, for the purposes of registering the Securities and transfers of the Securities as herein provided. 
 The
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Bank in the Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly 

  
 R-4 








 
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 The Issuing and Paying Agent shall record any transfer of this Security
that the Bank has approved, it being understood that such approval shall be based solely on matters relating to compliance with federal and state securities laws. Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Bank, the
Issuing and Paying Agent and any agent of the Bank or the Issuing and Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is overdue, and neither the Bank,
the Issuing and Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal or
interest on this Security, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Bank or any successor corporation. 

No provision of this Security shall alter or impair the obligation of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 Any money that the Bank pays to the Issuing and Paying Agent
for the purpose of making payments on this Security and that remains unclaimed two years after the payments were due will, at the Bank’s request, be returned to it. After that time, the Holder can only look to the Bank for payment on this
Security. 
 All notices under this Security shall be in writing and in the case of the Bank, addressed to the Bank at One E. Washington Street, Suite 1400,
Phoenix, Arizona 85004, Attention: Dale Gibbons, or, in the case of the Issuing and Paying Agent at 101 N. First Avenue, Suite 1600, Phoenix, Arizona 85003, Attention: Global Corporate Trust Services, or to such other address of the Issuing and
Paying Agent as the Issuing and Paying Agent may notify the holders of the Securities. All notices to the Holder of this Security will be given to the address of the Holder as it appears in the Security Register. 

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United
States of America.
