FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, INDEPENDENT BANK GROUP, INC., a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas, having its principal place of business at 2530 El Dorado Parkway, Suite 200, McKinney, Texas 75070 (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of TIB THE INDEPENDENT BANKERSBANK, a Texas state banking association and member of the Federal Reserve System having a place of business at 350 Phelps Drive, Irving, Texas 75038 (the “Lender”), in such coin or currency of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payments, the principal sum of Twelve Million and 00/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00), or whatever lesser amount of principal remains unpaid and owing from time to time.

The unpaid principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder and any other amounts owing with respect to this Note shall be due and payable on December 24, 2016 or such earlier date on which such amount shall become due and payable on account of acceleration by the Lender pursuant to the Agreement.

This Note is referred to in, and was executed and delivered pursuant to, that certain Loan and Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof by the Borrower and the Lender (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loan evidenced hereby is to be repaid and for a statement of remedies upon the occurrence of a “Default” as defined therein. The Agreement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. All terms which are capitalized and used herein (which are not otherwise specifically defined herein) and which are defined in the Agreement shall be used in this Note as defined in the Agreement.

The initial Advance under the Loan shall be treated as a Prime Rate Advance. All accrued but unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Term Loan outstanding from time to time shall be payable (a) the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter beginning with March 31, 2009, and (b) the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all of the Term Loan as follows: (i) thirty-two (32) consecutive quarterly principal installments of $375,000 [to be based on an eight (8) year amortization] each due and payable on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter beginning with March 31, 2009; and (ii) one final installment in the amount of all unpaid principal of the Term Loan due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Upon the occurrence of any Default, the Default Rate of Interest as provided in Section 1.4(c) of the Agreement shall apply. Interest due hereunder may, at the Lender’s option, be charged to the Borrower’s account, if any, with the Lender.

It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time during the term of the Loan. Accordingly, if any transaction

contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of The United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Note, it is agreed that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under the Agreement or this Note or otherwise in connection with the Agreement or this Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to the Borrower by the Lender (or if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to the Borrower by the Lender). All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to or for the benefit of the Lender in accordance with the terms of this paragraph shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform the full term thereof.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection, and the benefit of any exemption under the homestead exemption laws, if any, or any other exemption or insolvency laws, and consents that the Lender may release or surrender, exchange or substitute any real estate and/or personal property or other collateral security now held or which may hereafter be held as security for the payment of this Note, and may extend the time for payment or (with the consent of the Borrower) otherwise modify the terms of payment for any part or the whole of the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

Although the principal amount of this Note may be prepaid pursuant to certain optional prepayment provisions of the Agreement, no Prime Rate Advance may be voluntarily prepaid prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or prior to the date that is two (2) years after the Closing Date of the Term Loan. Upon or at any time after the occurrence or existence of a Default, the Lender shall be entitled, at its option and subject to the terms of the Agreement, to accelerate the then outstanding indebtedness hereunder and take such other action as provided for in the Agreement.
