three (3) calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the effective date of such Termination of Employment occurs (such higher bonus amount, the
“Annual Bonus Amount”), payable within ten (10) business days after the effective date of such Termination of Employment (or, if later, the effective date of the Change in Control); 

  

	 	(iii)	a cash lump sum amount equal to (A) Executive’s Annual Bonus Amount, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of days Executive was

have been entitled had Executive remained continuously employed by Employer during such period. In the event that Executive is ineligible under the terms of Employer’s Welfare Plans to continue to be so covered, Employer shall provide Executive
with substantially equivalent coverage through other sources or will provide Executive with a lump sum payment within ten (10) business days after the effective date of such Termination of Employment in such amount that, after all income and
employment taxes on that amount, shall be equal to the cost to Executive of obtaining such Welfare Plan benefit coverage. To the extent any such benefits are otherwise taxable to Executive, such benefits shall for purposes of Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”) be provided as separate monthly in-kind payments of those benefits, and to the
extent those benefits are subject to and not otherwise excepted from Section 409A, the provision of in-kind benefits during one calendar year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided in any other calendar year;

  

	 	(v)	continuation of the average auto allowance received by Executive during the twelve (12) month period preceding the effective date of such Termination of Employment until the
earlier of two (2) years following the effective date of such Termination of Employment of Executive or until Executive receives an auto allowance from another employer. Each payment of the auto allowance under this Section 6(v),
for purposes of Section 409A, shall be provided as a separate monthly in-kind payment, and the provision of the auto allowance during one calendar year shall not affect the payment of the auto-allowance to be provided in any other calendar
year;

	 	(vi)	full vesting of all outstanding stock options then held by Executive, with payment equal to the then difference between the option price and the current fair market value of the
stock as of the effective date of such Termination of Employment in lieu of the right to exercise such options; and 

  

	 	(vii)	the Gross-Up Payment described in Schedule A hereto, in the event that Executive receives any payments from Employer (including pursuant to any stock option or equity
awards) or its affiliates that are subject to tax under Section 4999 of the Code. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any amounts payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 6 shall be reduced by any amounts previously received by Executive pursuant to Section 5 above. To the extent Executive is receiving
payments pursuant to Section 5 above at the time of a Change in Control, no additional amounts shall be payable under Section 5 above, and any payment to Executive pursuant to this Section 6 shall be treated as a
permissible acceleration of all remaining payments under Section 5 in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(j).

	 	(a)	Termination For Cause. “Cause” for termination shall mean that, prior to any termination pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) hereof, Executive

 provided, however, that none of the actions described in clauses (i) through (vi) above
shall constitute grounds for a “Cause” termination unless any such act or actions shall have been determined by the Board to have been materially harmful to Employer. For the purposes of this Agreement, no act or failure to act on the part
of Executive shall be deemed “intentional” unless done or omitted to be done by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of Employer. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for “Cause” hereunder unless and until
there shall have been delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the Directors then in office at a meeting of the Directors called and held for such purpose (after
reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Directors), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Directors, Executive had committed an act set forth above in this
Section 7(a) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

than fifty-one percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders of voting securities of Employer immediately
prior to such transaction; 

  

	 	(ii)	PlainsCapital sells all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal person, with the exception that it will not be deemed to be a Change in Control if
PlainsCapital sells assets to an entity that, immediately prior to such sale, held fifty-one percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities in common with PlainsCapital; 

  

	 	(iii)	During any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the Directors of PlainsCapital cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority thereof unless the election or the nomination for election by PlainsCapital’s shareholders, of each Director of PlainsCapital first elected during such period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
Directors of PlainsCapital then still in office who were Directors of PlainsCapital at the beginning of any such period; or 

  

	 	(iv)	any “person” or “group” (as defined in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) is or becomes the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the voting stock of PlainsCapital (or any entity which controls PlainsCapital), including by way of merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer or
otherwise.

except in connection with the termination of his employment for Cause or as a result of his disability (within the meaning of Employer’s disability policy in effect at the time of the disability) or death, or termination by Executive other than
for Good Reason; 

  

	 	(ii)	A significant and material adverse diminishment in the nature or scope of the authorities, powers, functions or duties attached to the position with which Executive had immediately
prior to the Change in Control or a reduction in Executive’s aggregate base salary, bonus and benefits from Employer without the prior written consent of Executive; 

  

	 	(iii)	Employer shall relocate its principal executive offices or require Executive to have as his principal location of work any location which is in excess of fifty (50) miles from
the location thereof immediately prior to a Change in Control; or 

  

	 	(iv)	Any substantial and material breach of this Agreement by Employer. 

 With respect to any purported action (or failure to act) of Employer, Executive shall only have Good Reason to terminate his employment if he has provided to Employer a written notice describing what Executive believes is Good Reason within

	8.	Governing Law. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Texas, and the laws of Texas shall govern its validity and interpretation in the performance by
the parties of their respective duties and obligations. 

  

	9.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the employment of Executive, supersedes all prior understandings and
agreements between Executive and Employer regarding the subject matter herein, and there are no representations, warranties or commitments other than those in writing executed by all of the parties. This is an integrated agreement. This Agreement
may not be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such
party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. 

  

	10.	Arbitration. 

  

	 	(a)	Executive and Employer acknowledge and agree that any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement or any other dispute arising

that each party will bear fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the arbitration proceeding. The parties shall be responsible for paying their own attorneys’ fees, if any. 

  

	 	(c)	Employer and Executive acknowledge and agree that the arbitration provisions in Sections 10(a) and 10(b) may be specifically enforced by either party and submission to
arbitration proceedings compelled by any court of competent jurisdiction. Employer and Executive further acknowledge and agree that the decision of the arbitrators may be specifically enforced by either party in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding the arbitration provisions set forth above, Executive and Employer acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the arbitration
of any claim or controversy arising under the NON-DISCLOSURE, THE NON-INTERFERENCE, AND THE NON-COMPETITION provisions set forth at Sections 13 through 15 of this Agreement. These provisions shall be enforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction and shall not be subject to ARBITRATION pursuant to Sections 10(a)-(c). Executive and Employer further acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require arbitration of any claim for workers’

Act of 1934. 

 Executive further acknowledges that: 
  

	 	(a)	The services to be performed by Executive under this Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character; 

  

	 	(b)	Employer’s business is statewide in scope and its products and services are marketed throughout the state of Texas; 

  

	 	(c)	Employer competes with other businesses that are or could be located in any part of the state of Texas; and 

  

	 	(d)	The provisions of this Section 15 are reasonable and necessary to protect Employer’s business. 

  

	16.	Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedy. Executive acknowledges that the injury suffered by Employer as a result of a breach of Sections 13, 14 or 15 of this
Agreement would be irreparable and that an award of money damages to Employer for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, Employer shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain relief to restrain any
breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce Sections 13, 14 and 15 of this Agreement, and Employer will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting Employer’s rights under
this Section 16 or any other remedies of Employer, if Executive breaches the provisions of Section 13, 14 or 15, Employer shall have the right to cease making payments otherwise due to Executive under this Agreement.

	17.	Waiver Relating to Modification Upon Participation in the TARP. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the United States Department of Treasury owns any
debt or equity securities of PlainsCapital in connection with its participation in the United States Department of the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, Employer may modify Executive’s compensation or benefits, including without
limitation, the compensation and benefits described in Sections 3, 5, and 6, to the extent such modifications are required to comply with the regulations issued by the Department of Treasury as published in the Federal Register on
October 20, 2008, and Executive waives any claims he may have against the United States or Employer relating to or arising out of any such modifications. Executive agrees and understands that this Section 17 may require modification
of the compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements, policies and agreements (including so called “golden parachute” agreements) that he has with Employer as they relate to the period the United States Department of
Treasury holds any equity or debt securities of PlainsCapital acquired through the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The waiver described in this Section 17 includes all claims Executive may have under the laws of the United States or any
state related to the requirements imposed by the aforementioned regulation, including without limitation a claim for any compensation or other payments Executive would receive, any challenge to the process by which the regulation was adopted and any
tort or constitutional claim about the effect of these regulations on Executive’s employment relationship. The parties agree that any modifications made to Executive’s compensation and benefits pursuant to this Section 17 shall
be of no further force or effect as of the date such modifications are no longer required for purposes of complying with the aforementioned regulations, and that Executive’s compensation and benefits shall be returned to the level of
compensation and benefits as in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such modifications. 

  

	18.	Binding Agreement and Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s and Employer’s respective personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, assigns, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless
otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to his devisee, legatee or other designee, or, if there be no such designee, to his estate. In the event of a Change in Control, Employer shall require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Employer, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, expressly to assume and agree
to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Employer would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. 

  

	19.	No Mitigation of Amounts Payable Hereunder. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment (not in violation of Section 15 of this Agreement) by another
employer after the date of termination or otherwise.

	20.	Captions. The captions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience and are not part of the Agreement. 

  

	21.	Severability. In case of any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
other respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Agreement
and there shall be deemed substituted therefor such other provision as will most nearly accomplish the intent of the parties to the extent permitted by the applicable law. 

  

	22.	Amendment. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be amended or modified at any time except by a written instrument approved by the Board, and
executed by Employer and Executive. Any attempted amendment or modification without such approval and execution shall be null and void ab initio and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 22, the Board may
change or modify this Agreement without Executive’s consent or signature if the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that such change or modification is necessary for purposes of compliance with or exemption from the requirements of
Section 409A. 

  

	23.	No Waiver. No waiver by either party at any time of any breach by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed
by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at any time. 

  

	24.	Survival of Provisions. The covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in Sections 8 through 19 are of a continuing nature and shall survive the
expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement, regardless of the reason therefor. 

  

	25.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. 

  

	26.	Section 409A. In the event that it is reasonably determined by Employer or Executive that, as a result of Section 409A, any of the payments that Executive is
entitled to under the terms of this Agreement or any nonqualified deferred compensation plan (as defined under Section 409A) may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms hereof or thereof, as the case may be, without causing Executive
to be subject to an income tax penalty and interest, Employer will make such payment (with interest thereon) on the first day that would not result in Executive incurring any tax liability under Section 409A. In addition, other provisions of
this Agreement or any other plan notwithstanding, Employer shall have no right to accelerate any such payment or to make any such payment as the result of an event if such payment would, as a result, be subject to the tax imposed by
Section 409A.

 SCHEDULE A 
 Certain Supplemental Payments by Employer 
 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), of which this Schedule A is a part. 
 1. If it shall be determined that any amount, right or benefit paid, distributed or treated as paid or distributed by Employer or any of its affiliates to or for Executive’s benefit (other than any amounts
payable pursuant to this Schedule A) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise
tax, together with any such interest and penalties, collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount equal to the amount
necessary such that after payment by Executive of all federal, state and local taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed
with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. 
 2. All determinations required to be made under this Schedule A, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such
Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by an independent public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting
calculations to both Employer and Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from Executive or Employer that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by Employer. All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be paid by Employer. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Schedule A, shall be paid by Employer to Executive (or to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority on Executive’s
behalf) within five (5) days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Employer and Executive; provided that following any payment of a Gross-Up
Payment to Executive (or to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority on Executive’s behalf), Employer may require Executive to sue for a refund of all or any portion of the Excise Taxes paid on Executive’s behalf,
in which event the provisions of paragraph (3) below shall apply. As a result of uncertainty regarding the application of Section 4999 of the Code hereunder, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may assert that Excise Taxes are
due that were not included in the Accounting Firm’s calculation of the Gross-Up Payments (an “Underpayment”). In the event that Employer exhausts its remedies pursuant to this Schedule A and Executive thereafter is
required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any additional Gross-Up Payments that are due as a result thereof shall be promptly paid by Employer to Executive
(or to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority on Executive’s behalf).

	 	Page 1

 3. Executive shall notify Employer in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if
successful, would require the payment by Employer of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after Executive receives written notification of such claim and shall
apprise Employer of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) days period following the date on which it gives such notice to
Employer (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If Employer notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive
shall: (i) give Employer all information reasonably requested by Employer relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as Employer shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including,
without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by Employer and ceasing all efforts to contest such claim; (iii) cooperate with Employer in good faith in order to effectively
contest such claim; and (iv) permit Employer to participate in any proceeding relating to such claim; provided, however, that Employer shall bear and pay directly all reasonable costs and expenses (including additional interest
and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such
representation and payment of costs and expense. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Schedule A, Employer shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and
all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any
permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Employer shall determine and direct;
provided, however, that if Employer directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, Employer shall, to the extent permitted by law, advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall
indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such
advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for Executive’s taxable year with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested
amount. Furthermore, Employer’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue
raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
 4. If, after Executive’s receipt of an amount advanced by
Employer pursuant to this Schedule A, Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall promptly pay to Employer the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after
taxes applicable thereto). If, after Executive’s receipt of an amount advanced by Employer pursuant to this Schedule A, a determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and Employer does
not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days

	 	Page 2

 
after Employer’s receipt of notice of such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of
such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 
 5. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in no event shall any payment be made pursuant to this Schedule A after the end of Executive’s taxable year next following Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive remits any related taxes to the IRS.

 Exhibit 10.5 
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND
RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of March 2, 2009, by and between PLAINS CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), on behalf of itself and all of its
subsidiaries (collectively “Employer”) and ALAN WHITE (“Executive”) for purposes of amending that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of January 1, 2009, by and between the Company and
Executive (the “Agreement”). Terms used in this Amendment with initial capital letters that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. 
 WHEREAS, effective December 31, 2008, the Company became subject to the requirement to register its securities pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”); and 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to comply
with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”) that apply to Executive now that
Employer is subject to the Exchange Act; and 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to further amend the Agreement in order to ensure compliance with
the interim final rules issued by the Department of Treasury on October 20, 2008 and January 16, 2009, which provide further guidance on the executive compensation provisions applicable to participants in the Troubled Asset Relief Program
Capital Purchase Program; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, conditions and covenants contained herein and in the
Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 1.
Section 2 of the Agreement is amended by adding the following new sentence to the end of said Section: 
 Executive has received and is
familiar with Employer’s ethics and insider trading policies and procedures, and understands and agrees his duties include compliance with such policies and procedures, as amended from time to time. 
 2. Section 3(b) of the Agreement is amended by deleting said Section in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following: 
 Bonus. Subject to Section 17 below, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus for each year ending during the term
of this Agreement as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of Employer (the “Board”). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence and subject to Section 17 below, the annual bonus for any given year shall
not be less than the average annual bonus paid to Executive, by Employer or its predecessor entity, in respect of the three (3) calendar years immediately preceding the year of such bonus (the “Guaranteed Bonus”). The
Guaranteed Bonus shall not be considered to be a bonus or incentive compensation arrangement for purposes of Section 111(b) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”). Any portion of the bonus provided in this
Section 3(b) permitted by Section 17 that exceeds the Guaranteed Bonus shall be the “Incentive Bonus.” The Incentive Bonus shall not be based upon performance criteria that would encourage Executive to take
any unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of Employer, and Employer expressly discourages Executive from taking such risks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period that Employer is subject to Section 111(b) 

 
of EESA: (1) in the event Employer (or the Compensation Committee of the Company) determines, in its sole discretion, that Executive has taken any
unnecessary and excessive risks, Employer may reduce all or any portion of the Incentive Bonus to which Executive has obtained a legally binding right pursuant to this Section 3(b); and (2) in the event Employer (or the Compensation
Committee of the Company) determines, in its sole discretion, that Executive has been paid or has obtained a legally binding right to an Incentive Bonus pursuant to this Section 3(b) that is based on materially inaccurate financial
statements and any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria, Executive must pay Employer an amount equal to such Incentive Bonus immediately after Executive receives notice of such misstatement (or forfeit receipt of such Incentive
Bonus if the Incentive Bonus has not been paid). Any bonus payable under this Section 3(b) shall be paid on or before March 15 of the year following the year for which the bonus is payable. 
 3. Section 3(e) of the Agreement is amended by inserting in the first sentence the words “Subject to the provisions of Section 17
below,” immediately before the words “Executive shall be entitled to”. 
 4. Section 3(f) of the Agreement is amended by
inserting in the first sentence the words “and except as otherwise provided by Section 17 below,” immediately after the words “During the term of this Agreement”. 
 5. Section 3(g) of the Agreement is amended by inserting in the first sentence the words “and except as otherwise provided by
Section 17 below,” immediately after the words “During the term of this Agreement”. 
 6. Section 6(vi) of
the Agreement is amended by inserting the words “the option to receive a cash” immediately before the words “payment equal to the then difference”. 
 7. Section 17 of the Agreement is amended by deleting said Section in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following: 
 Waiver Relating to Modification Upon Participation in the TARP. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the United States Department of Treasury owns any debt or equity securities of the
Company in connection with the Company’s participation in the United States Department of the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, Employer may modify Executive’s compensation or benefits, including without limitation, the
compensation and benefits described in Sections 3, 5, and 6, to the extent such modifications are required to comply with the regulations issued by the Department of Treasury in connection with the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase
Program, and Executive waives any claims he may have against the United States or Employer relating to or arising out of any such modifications. Executive agrees and understands that this Section 17 may require modification of the
compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements, policies and agreements (including so called “golden parachute” agreements) that he has with Employer as they relate to the period the United States Department of
Treasury holds any equity or debt securities of the Company acquired through the TARP Capital Purchase Program (the “TARP Period”). The waiver described in this Section 17 includes all claims Executive may have under the
laws of the United States or any state related to the requirements imposed by the aforementioned regulation, including without limitation a claim for any compensation or other payments Executive would receive, any challenge to the process by which
the regulation was adopted and any tort or constitutional claim about the effect of these regulations on Executive’s employment relationship. The parties agree that any modifications made to Executive’s compensation and benefits pursuant
to this Section 17 shall be of no further force or effect with respect to compensation and benefits earned after the date such 

  

 2 

 
modifications are no longer required for purposes of complying with the aforementioned regulations, and that Executive’s compensation and benefits shall
be returned to the level of compensation and benefits as in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such modifications; provided that, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any compensation and benefits that, but for the modifications
required by this Section 17, would have been paid during the TARP Period. 
 8. Section 22 of the Agreement is amended by
deleting said Section in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following: 
 Amendment. Except as otherwise provided
herein, this Agreement may not be amended or modified at any time except by a written instrument approved by the Board, and executed by Employer and Executive. Any attempted amendment or modification without such approval and execution shall be null
and void ab initio and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 22, the Board may change or modify this Agreement without Executive’s consent or signature if the Board determines, in its sole
discretion, that such change or modification is required (a) for purposes of compliance with or exemption from the requirements of Section 409A, or (b) for purposes of compliance with EESA. 
 9. The following new Section 27 is added to the Agreement: 
 27. Six Month Delay. To the extent (i) any payments to which Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or any
agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with Executive’s Termination of Employment with Employer constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A; (ii) Executive is deemed at the time of his Termination of
Employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A; and (iii) at the time of Executive’s Termination of Employment, Employer is publicly traded (as defined in Section 409A), then such payments (other than any
payments permitted by Section 409A to be paid within six (6) months of Executive’s Termination of Employment) shall not be made until the earlier of (x) the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s Termination of
Employment or (y) the date of Executive’s death following such Termination of Employment. During any period that payment or payments to Executive are deferred pursuant to the foregoing, Executive shall be entitled to interest on the
deferred payment or payments at a per annum rate equal to Federal-Funds rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date of Executive’s Termination of Employment with Employer. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral
period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Section 27 (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be paid to Executive or
Executive’s beneficiary in one lump sum. 
 10. All instances of the defined term “PlainsCapital” in the Agreement shall be
replaced with the term “the Company”.
