NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the Holders thereof, and for the

 Section 202 Form and Denomination of Notes. 

The definitive form of the Notes and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication to be endorsed thereon shall be substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, which is incorporated herein and made part hereof. The Notes shall bear interest and have such other terms as are stated in the form of definitive Notes or in the Indenture, as supplemented by this
Supplemental Indenture. The Stated Maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall be March 17, 2027. The Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The Notes shall not be issued as Original Issue
Discount Securities. 
 Section 203 Initial Limit on Amount of Series. 

The Notes shall initially be limited to U.S. $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, and may, upon the execution and delivery of this
Supplemental Indenture or from time to time thereafter, be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the 

  
 2 








 
Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes to or upon the delivery of a Company Order. Following the initial issuance of the Notes, the aggregate principal amount of Notes may be
increased as provided in Section 204 hereof. 
 Section 204 Further Issues Without Holders’ Consent. 

The Company may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, but in compliance with the terms of the Indenture and this
Supplemental Indenture, issue additional Notes having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date and other terms as the Notes (other than the date of issuance, the issue price, the initial interest accrual date and the first Interest Payment
Date). Any such additional Notes will rank equally and ratably with the Notes. Any such additional Notes, together with the Notes initially issued hereunder, will constitute a single series of Securities for all purposes under the Indenture.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no additional Notes may be issued unless they will be fungible with the Notes offered hereby for United States federal income tax and securities law purposes, and unless the additional Notes
have the same CUSIP number as these Notes. No additional Notes may be issued if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

Indenture. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed in principal amounts of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems
fair and appropriate.

HEREBY OR THEREBY. 
 Section 409 Counterparts. 

This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but
one and the same instrument. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute
effective execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be

4.500% Subordinated Notes Due 2027 

$100,000,000 

Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Texas (herein called the
“Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of One Hundred Million Dollars
($100,000,000) on March 17, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from and including March 17, 2017, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has
been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on March 17 and September 17 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 17, 2017, at the rate of 4.500% per annum
(calculated in the basis of a 360 day year having twelve 30-day months), until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment. Any such installment of interest that is overdue shall also bear interest at the rate of
4.500% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment. The term “interest” refers
not only to regularly scheduled interest payments but also to interest on interest payments not paid on the applicable Interest Payment Date. 







 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, for purposes hereof, the following
terms have the following meanings: 
 “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, and that is not a day on
which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York. 

“Regular Record Date” means the immediately preceding February 28 for an Interest Payment Date falling on March 17 or the
immediately preceding August 31 for an Interest Payment Date falling on September 17. 
 The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Company shall 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 additional interest or other payment with respect to the delay. If the Maturity Date, or, if earlier, the Redemption
Date, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest, if any, shall be made on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such Maturity Date or earlier Redemption Date, and
without any additional interest or other payment with respect to the delay. 
 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest (other than any interest payable at Maturity) will be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Securities Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the
Securities Register; provided, further, that any such payment and any such interest on the Securities beneficially held that are represented by this Global Security, and all transfers and deliveries of such Securities shall be made to the

 [Reverse of Security] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 15, 2007 (herein called the Indenture, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (herein
called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of
the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $100,000,000. 
 The Securities of this
series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail and subject to any regulatory approvals that may be required, at any time or from time to time on or after February 17, 2027, as a
whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity
is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the
Indenture. Any such redemption will be subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). 

No sinking fund will be provided with respect to the Securities of this series. 

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed
portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Security
is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each
Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained
herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

  
 -5- 








 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 Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of
the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Default as Trustee
and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such
request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any
payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein
to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times,
place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, 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 Company maintained under Section 1002 of the Indenture for such
purpose, 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 Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

  
 -6- 








 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to
due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 This
