                                 2000 Amendment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     WHEREAS, IBERIABANK Corporation (the "Company") has previously approved the
IBERIABANK Corporation  Supplemental Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), and Article
IX thereof authorizes the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") to -

             "by  resolution,  at any time . . . amend the Plan with  respect to
         any shares of Common  Stock as to which  Awards have not been  granted,
         subject  to  any  required  stockholder  approval  or  any  stockholder
         approval which the Board may deem to be advisable for any reason,  such
         as  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  or  retaining  any  statutory  or
         regulatory  benefits under tax,  securities or other laws or satisfying
         any applicable stock exchange listing requirements."

     WHEREAS,  the Board has adopted  resolutions  amending the Plan in order to
permit discretionary awards of restricted stock, as well as to include directors
within the class of consultants to whom Plan awards may be made.

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Plan is hereby amended as follows,

         Restricted  Stock  Awards  (within the  meaning of Section  8.11 of the
         Plan).

     2. Section  3.07A of the Plan shall be amended by replacing  the words "but

     4.  Article  VIII of the Plan shall be amended by  changing  its heading to
read "Options,  Stock Appreciation  Rights, and Restricted Stock", and by adding
the following new subsection at the end thereof:

                  8.11     RESTRICTED STOCK

                           (A) GENERAL TERMS AND  CONDITIONS.  The Committee may
                  make  discretionary  awards  in the form of  restricted  stock
                  (Restricted  Stock)  having such terms and  conditions  as the
                  Committee may specify in accordance with the Plan.

                           (B) VESTING. Unless an Award specifically provides to
                  the contrary,  the Optionee's interest in any Restricted Stock
                  Award  shall  become  vested  at the rate of  33-1/3%  on each
                  annual anniversary date of the Award, but only if the Optionee
                  is in the Company's  service as a Consultant or an Employee on
                  the scheduled vesting date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
                  Optionee shall become 100% vested in his Restricted Stock upon
                  a Change in Control of the Corporation, or upon termination of
                  the   Optionee's   Continuous   Service   due  to  his  death,
                  Disability,  or a written  agreement  in which  the  Committee
                  exercises  its  discretion  to  accelerate  the  Participant's
                  vesting.

                           (C)    DIVIDENDS ON RESTRICTED  STOCK.  The Committee
                  shall promptly pay each Optionee any cash dividends    paid on
                  Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Article.

                           (D)   VOTING.  Unless otherwise provided in an Award,
                  all shares subject to  Restricted  Stock Awards shall be voted
                  by the Committee in its sole discretion.

                           (E)  DISTRIBUTIONS.  The Common Stock associated with
                  each  Restricted  Stock  Award  shall  be  transferred  to the
                  Participant as soon as practicable  after the Optionee becomes
                  vested,  unless the Optionee has properly  elected a different
                  form of distribution,  on a form (the  "Distribution  Election
                  Form") that is accepted by the  Committee  either more than 90
                  days  before a Change in Control or more than one year  before
                  the date on which the  Optionee's  service as an  Employee  or
                  Consultant terminates for any reason.  Fractional Shares shall
                  be cancelled upon a Participant's  receipt of their fractional
                  Market Value.

                           (F)  RIGHTS TO SHARES.  The right of the  Optionee or
                  his  or her  beneficiary  to receive  Common  Stock  hereunder
                  shall be solely an unsecured  claim against the general assets
                  of the Company.  Neither the Optionee nor his or

                  her beneficiary  shall have any claim against or rights in any
                  specific assets, shares, or other funds of the Company.

                           (G) REGULATORY EXCEPTIONS.  Notwithstanding any other
                  provision  of this Plan,  no shares of Common  Stock  shall be
                  distributed  unless and until all of the  requirements  of all
                  applicable law and regulations  shall have been fully complied
                  with.

     WHEREFORE, the undersigned,  being duly authorized, hereby adopts this 2000
Amendment to the Plan.

                                            IBERIABANK CORPORATION
