<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
(&ldquo;<U>Agreement</U>&rdquo;) is made as of _____________, 20__ by and between Stellar Bancorp,&nbsp;Inc., a Texas corporation (the
 &ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;), and ______________________________ (&ldquo;<U>Indemnitee</U>&rdquo;). This Agreement supersedes and replaces
any and all previous agreements between the Company and Indemnitee covering the subject matter of this Agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">WHEREAS, highly competent
persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors and officers or in other capacities unless they are
provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against
them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">WHEREAS, the Board of Directors
of the Company (the &ldquo;<U>Board</U>&rdquo;) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company
will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its
subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United
States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such
insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors, officers,
and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming
litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise
itself. The Organizational Documents (as defined below) require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee
may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant the TBOC (as defined below). The Organizational Documents of the Company and the TBOC
expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may
be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">WHEREAS, the uncertainties
relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">WHEREAS, the Board has determined
that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">WHEREAS, it is reasonable,
prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that
they will not be so indemnified;</P>

a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">WHEREAS,&nbsp;Indemnitee does
not regard the protection available under the Organizational Documents and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may
not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity.
Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that
he be so indemnified; and</P>

resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event
the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed
an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges
that Indemnitee&rsquo;s employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), if any, is at will, and the Indemnitee
may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, except as may be otherwise provided in any written employment contract
between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), other applicable formal severance policies duly adopted
by the Board, or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, by the Company&rsquo;s Organizational Documents and

the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a)&nbsp;hereof,
