Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Total holdings on original Form 4 filing of 7/24/13 and subsequent Form 4 amendment on July 30, 2013, were inadvertently overstated by one share.
(2)	Granted under the Independent Bank Corp. 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan (1997 Plan). 1,012 shares became exercisable on 6/11/04 and the remaining 340 shares became exercisable on 1/2/05, subject to the earlier termination of employment or acceleration of vesting schedule under certain termination of employee circumstances. Original Form 4 filing incorrectly stated the vesting schedule for the options.
(3)	Granted under the 1997 Plan. 673 shares shall first become exercisable on 1/2/05 and the remaining 1,012 shares became exercisable on 1/2/06, subject to the earlier termination of employment or acceleration of vesting schedule under certain termination of employee circumstances. Original Form 4 filing (7/24/13) incorrectly stated the vesting schedule for the options.
Remarks: Due to an inadvertent error, the Form 4A filing on July 30, 2013 incorrectly stated the original filing date.  This date should have been stated as July 26, 2013.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
