As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth at the place defined:

(a) "Daily One Month LIBOR" means, for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR then in effect for delivery for a one (1) month period.

(b) "LIBOR" means the rate of interest per annum determined by Bank based on the rate for United States dollar deposits for delivery of funds for one (1) month as reported on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or any successor page) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, or, for any day not a London Business Day, the immediately preceding London Business Day (or if not so reported, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

INTEREST:

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Bank to be one and twenty-five hundredths percent (1.25%) above Daily One Month LIBOR in effect from time to time. Bank is hereby authorized to note the date and interest rate applicable to this Note and any payments made thereon on Bank's books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.

From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at Bank's option upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by Borrower.

(c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

THIS AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is entered into as of February 16, 2015, by and between THE BUCKLE, INC., a Nebraska corporation and BUCKLE BRANDS, INC., a Nebraska corporation (each individually, a "Borrower"), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank"). Each reference herein to "Borrower" shall mean each and every party, collectively and individually, defined above as a Borrower.

WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of January 31, 2011, as amended from time to time ("Credit Agreement").

WHEREAS, Bank and Borrower have agreed to certain changes in the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to reflect said changes.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1. Section 1.1.(a) is hereby amended by deleting "July 31, 2015" as the last day on which Bank will make advances under the Line of Credit, and by substituting for said date "July 31, 2017," with such change to be effective upon the execution and delivery to Bank of a promissory note dated as of February 16, 2015 (which promissory note shall replace and be deemed the Line of Credit Note defined in and made pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and all other contracts, instruments and documents required by Bank to evidence such change.

2. Section 1.1.(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

"(b) Letter of Credit Subfeature. As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue standby and/or sight commercial letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, "Letters of Credit"); provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the maturity date of the Line of Credit. The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings thereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof. Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit. In such event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing."

3. The following is hereby added to the Credit Agreement as Section 7.12:

"SECTION 7.12. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.

(a) Each Borrower has determined and represents to Bank that it is a legitimate business purpose and in its best interests to induce Bank to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and represents that its business is related to the business of every other Borrower hereunder, and all commitments, advances and other credit extensions under this Agreement will individually and collectively benefit each Borrower hereunder.

(b) Each Borrower has determined and represents to Bank that it has, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will have, assets having a fair market value in excess of its liabilities, after giving effect to any available rights of contribution or subrogation, and each Borrower has, and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business and the ability to pay its debts as they mature.

(c) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally and unconditionally liable to Bank for, and will pay to Bank when due, the full amount of all existing and future indebtedness arising in connection with any facility extended under this Agreement, and all modifications, extensions and renewals thereto, including without limitation all principal and interest, and all fees, costs and expenses chargeable to each Borrower individually or collectively in connection with any facility hereunder. These obligations shall be in addition to any other obligations under any other agreement with Bank entered into before or after the date of this Agreement, unless such other agreement is expressly modified or revoked in writing, and this Agreement shall not affect or invalidate the terms of any such other agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

(d) The liability of a Borrower for indebtedness hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of Bank shall continue if and to the extent that for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any facility under this Agreement by any Borrower or any other person or entity is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Bank, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.

(e) Each Borrower authorizes Bank, without notice to or demand on such Borrower, and without affecting such Borrower's liability for indebtedness incurred under any facility extended under this Agreement, from time to time to: (i) alter, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the indebtedness of any other Borrower to Bank on account of any such facilities; (ii) take and hold security from any other Borrower for the payment of indebtedness incurred under any facility extended under this Agreement, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate or release any such security; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, a non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreement, mortgage, or deed of trust, as Bank in its discretion may determine; (iv) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or any guarantors of any facility hereunder, or any other party obligated thereon; and (v) apply payments received by Bank from any other Borrower to indebtedness of such other Borrower to Bank other than to any facility extended under this Agreement.

(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that it has established adequate means of obtaining from every other Borrower on a continuing basis financial and other information relating to the financial condition of every other Borrower, and each Borrower agrees to keep adequately informed by such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect its risks hereunder. Each Borrower further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to disclose to it any information or material about any other Borrower which is acquired by Bank in any manner.

(g) Each Borrower waives any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any other Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower or any other person; (iii) pursue any other remedy in Bank's power; (iv) apply payments received by Bank from any other Borrower to any facility extended under this Agreement; or (v) make any presentments or demands for performance, or give any notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest or notices of dishonor in connection with any facility extended under this Agreement.

(h) Each Borrower waives to the extent permitted by applicable law any defense to its liability for repaying any facility extended under this Agreement based upon or arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or any other person; (ii) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of the liability of any other Borrower for the facility extended under this Agreement; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower; (iv) the application by any other Borrower of the proceeds of any facility extended under this Agreement for purposes other than the purposes intended or understood by Bank or each other Borrower; (v) any act or omission by Bank which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any other Borrower by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of Bank against any other Borrower; (vi) any impairment of the value of any interest in any security for any facility extended under this Agreement, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, and/or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; or (vii) any modification of the indebtedness of any other Borrower for any facility extended under this Agreement, including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, the indebtedness of any Borrower for any facility extended under this Agreement, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon.

(i) Until each facility extended under this Agreement and all indebtedness arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall have been paid in full, no Borrower shall have any right of subrogation. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses it may have arising out of (i) any election of remedies by Bank, even though that election of remedies, such as a non- judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for each facility extended under this Agreement, destroys its rights of subrogation or its rights to proceed against any other Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any loss of rights it may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of any other Borrower in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging any Borrower's indebtedness for each facility extended under this Agreement, whether by operation of or otherwise including any rights Borrower may have, in the event Borrower has given security, to a fair market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for any portion of the indebtedness, and Borrower waives any rights Borrower may have under the SDCL §21-49-18 et seq. (the South Dakota "one-action" rule). Until all indebtedness of each Borrower to Bank arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall have been paid in full, each Borrower waives any right to enforce any remedy which Bank now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower or any other person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Bank."

4. Except as specifically provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect, without waiver or modification. All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment. This Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together, as one document.

5. Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth therein. Borrower further certifies that as of the date of this Amendment there exists no Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute any such Event of Default.

A CREDIT AGREEMENT MUST BE IN WRITING TO BE ENFORCEABLE UNDER NEBRASKA LAW. TO PROTECT THE PARTIES FROM ANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS OR DISAPPOINTMENTS, ANY CONTRACT, PROMISE, UNDERTAKING OR OFFER TO FOREBEAR REPAYMENT OF MONEY OR TO MAKE ANY OTHER FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LOAN OF MONEY OR GRANT OR EXTENSION OF CREDIT, OR ANY AMENDMENT OF, CANCELLATION OF, WAIVER OF, OR SUBSTITUTION FOR ANY OR ALL OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LOAN OF MONEY OR GRANT OR EXTENSION OF CREDIT, MUST BE IN WRITING TO BE EFFECTIVE.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed as of the day and year first written above.
