SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE  
2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Recitals
Independent Bank Group, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which the Company uses as a key tool in attracting, motivating and retaining high quality executive officers, directors, employees, consultants and other service providers and in providing an incentive to enhance shareholder value.  The Plan currently permits repricing of option awards without shareholder approval.  Although the Company has never granted option awards, there are no outstanding options with respect to the Company’s common stock, and the Company has no intention of granting option awards in the future, the Board of Directors is committed to maintaining best corporate practices and believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to eliminate this provision from the Plan.
Amendment
The Plan is hereby amended as follows:
		
	1.
	Section 6(b)(i) of the Plan is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“Exercise Price.  The exercise price per Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee, provided that such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option and shall not, in any event, be less than the par value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option.  If any Employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Section 424(e) and Section 424(f) of the Code, respectively) and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such Employee, the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.  Notwithstanding the authority granted to the Committee pursuant to Section 3(a), and except for adjustments pursuant to Section 10(c) and/or Section 9(a)(iv), once an Option is granted, the Committee shall have no authority to reduce the exercise price of an Option, nor may any Option be granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Option with a lower exercise price or exchanged for cash or another Award, nor shall the Committee take any action with respect to any Award that would be treated, under the applicable stock exchange listing standards or for accounting purposes, as a “repricing” of such Award, in each case, without approval of the shareholders of the Company.”
		
	2.
	Section 10(e) of the Plan is hereby amended to delete the last two sentences of that section.

		
	3.
	Except as expressly modified by this Second Amendment, all other terms and provisions of the Plan shall be unchanged and shall remain in full force and effect.

		
	4.
	This Second Amendment was adopted and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 14, 2018.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

Section 1.1    Article I - Definitions. The definition of “Termination Date” as set forth in Article I of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Termination Date” means January 17, 2021 or any earlier date on which the Aggregate Commitment is reduced to zero or otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

Article I of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by adding thereto the following definitions in proper alphabetical order:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

		
	(a)
	a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

		
	(b)
	a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

		
	(c)
	a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Covered Party” is defined in Section 10.17.

“Default Rights” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“Prime Rate Advance” means an Advance which bears interest at the Prime Rate.

“U.S. Special Resolution Regimes” is defined in Section 10.17.”

Section 1.2 Section 3.3 - Availability of Eurocurrency Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate. Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

		
	3.3
	Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate.

(a)    If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that

(i)    deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Loans are not available to such Lenders in the relevant market; or

(ii)    the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Loans is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans,

then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of LIBOR Loans and require any affected LIBOR Loans to be repaid or converted to Prime Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.6.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.3(a)(ii) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) ICE Benchmark Administration (or any Person that takes over the administration of such rate) discontinues its administration and publication of interest settlement rates for deposits in Dollars, or (iii) the supervisor for the administrator of the interest settlement rate described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.3(b) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction

over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such interest settlement rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall seek to jointly agree upon an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.3, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(b), any request for an Advance pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be deemed to be a request for a Prime Rate Advance. If the alternate rate of interest determined pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 1.3 New Sections 10.16 and 10.17 - Delaware Divisions and Supported QFC’s. Article X of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding thereto the following Sections 10.16 and 10.17:

10.16    Delaware Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

10.17    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Obligations or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Section 1.4 Section 14.1 – Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic  Communication.  Section 14.1(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting the text “1600 Redbud Blvd. – Ste. #400, McKinney, TX 75069” and inserting in lieu thereof the text “7777 Henneman Way, McKinney, TX 75070.”

SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS    AND    WARRANTIES.    Borrower    hereby
represents and warrants to the Lender and the Administrative Agent as of the date hereof as follows:
