The Company represents
to you, and you acknowledge, that this Agreement does not alter the manner in which your age or period of service is otherwise
calculated for purposes of determining your benefits under any plans or agreements of continuing effect, and that this Agreement
will neither enhance nor diminish any such benefits bestowed by any Company plan or program in which you participate which depend
upon your age or period of service.


 


	 	B.	Stock Awards


 


Schedule 2B
to this Agreement lists the outstanding (unvested) stock-based awards previously granted to you by the Company or by IBERIABANK
Corporation as to which forfeiture, in whole or part, is waived under this Agreement or as to which the original terms of the award

the “original terms” of an award include the terms, conditions, and requirements applicable to that award from

same time, as other executive
officers participating in the 2021 program without prejudice or enhancement to you due to your separation on your End Date. The
Company further agrees that your personal plan rating for your 2021 bonus will be fixed at 100%, which means that your bonus will
not be adjusted up or down for personal performance considerations. In addition, the Company agrees to pay to you, before December
31, 2021, 75% of the target amount of your 2021 bonus as a non-refundable advance against that bonus. All original terms of the
Schedule 2C opportunity remain unchanged except as expressly changed above.


 


	3.	Awards and Benefits Not Affected by this Agreement


 


Other than as provided

        UNVESTED
        OPTIONS: will forfeit on your End Date.






 


	 	B.	Change in Control Matters


 


	 	(i)	IBERIABANK CIC Agreement, Letter Agreement, Etc.


 


Your rights, benefits,
and obligations under your change in control severance agreement with IBERIABANK, as modified by a letter agreement dated November
3, 2019 (your “IB CIC Arrangements”), are not enhanced or diminished by this Agreement. Schedule 3B to
this Agreement provides a brief overview of key provisions that remain unfulfilled. Your separation on your End Date will cause
certain payments to be triggered or benefits to end or begin; those events are not changed by this Agreement. Statements and provisions
in Section 2 above and in the remainder of this Section 3 (dealing with health and welfare benefits, for example) are not intended
to, and do not, diminish or otherwise modify benefits or benefit enhancements you are entitled to receive under your IB CIC Arrangements.


 


		3	
        SEPARATION AGREEMENT
MJB – SEPTEMBER 2021






    	 



    		 



    

	 	(ii)	Executive CIC Plan


 


You and the Company
agree that, effective on the date of this Agreement, your participation in the Company’s Executive Change in Control Severance
Plan (“CIC Plan”) is terminated. Without this agreement, your participation in the CIC Plan would have terminated
on your End Date.


 


	 	(iii)	General CIC Plan


 


You agree that effective
on the date of this Agreement you will not be eligible to receive benefits, and you will not be paid any benefits, under the Company’s
Severance Pay Plan or any similar severance plan or program through which the Company or its subsidiaries offer or pay severance
benefits to employees in connection with a change in control event. Without this agreement, your eligibility would have been in
doubt and, in any event, would have terminated on your End Date.


 


	 	C.	Pension, Savings, Welfare Benefits


 


Your pension and
pension restoration plan benefits, if you have any under which the Company or a predecessor to the Company is the employer, are
not enhanced or diminished by this Agreement. Assuming you have any such benefits: (i) you acknowledge your responsibility to provide
to the plan administrators those elections which you desire to make within the time limits provided in those plans; and (ii) the
Company agrees to cooperate with you in providing any information reasonably requested by you relative thereto on the same basis
as any other former employee similar circumstances regarding age, former salary grade, and years of service. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Company is not aware that you participate in any pension or related plan as to which the Company is the employer
or for which the Company has become the employer.


 


Your savings plan
and savings restoration plan accounts, if any, are neither enhanced nor diminished by this Agreement.


 


Your current participation
in Company-sponsored cafeteria welfare programs, such as health and dental insurance, will not be modified or terminated by the
Company until your End Date. Your post-employment rights, including as provided in your IB CIC Arrangements, to continue in any
such programs are not enhanced or diminished by this Agreement.


 


Other benefits not
affected by this Agreement include your life and disability insurance benefits, which will be provided until your End Date, except
to the extent provided in your IB CIC Arrangements. You have been or will be offered the same portability options related to those
policies (at your expense) that any other similarly situated departing executive would be offered under current program provisions.
The Company agrees to hold open your ability to exercise any portability options relating thereto for such time as is customary
for similarly situated departing executives.


 


	 	D.	Nonqualified Deferred Compensation


 


Your nonqualified
deferred compensation accounts, amounts, and benefits, to the extent not expressly dealt with above, are not enhanced or diminished
by this Agreement. You acknowledge your responsibility to provide to the plan administrators those elections which you desire and
are permitted to make, if any, within the time limits provided in the plans and/or agreements related to those accounts, amounts,
or benefits. The Company agrees to cooperate with you in providing any

        SEPARATION AGREEMENT
MJB – SEPTEMBER 2021






    	 



    		 



    

information reasonably
requested by you relative thereto on the same basis as any other prospective or actual departing employee in similar circumstances.


 


	4.	Consideration Provided by You and Certain Mutual Covenants


 


In consideration
of the items provided by the Company in Section 2 above and elsewhere in this Agreement, you agree to each of the covenants described
below.


 


	 	A.	Continued Employment and Duties; Departure


 


You agree and acknowledge
that your executive status will end as set forth in Section 2.A., and that your status as an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries
will continue until the close of business on your End Date.


 


Until your End Date
you agree to render such services, and be responsible for fulfilling such duties, relating to ordinary leadership transition matters
as the Company’s CEO assigns to you, and such other services as may be requested and to which you agree. The benefits in
Section 2 and elsewhere, and your continued employment according to this Agreement, are consideration for the covenants agreed
to in this Section 4.


 


	 	B.	Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure


 


In order to protect
the legitimate interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, you agree that you will not disclose to others, whether directly
or indirectly, any information relating to the Company’s business plans or other confidential business information and/or
trade secrets of the Company which you received or to which you were given access during your employment with the Company.


 


You further agree that you will return
to the Company any and all documents belonging to it, as well as any other property which belongs to it, and that no such documents
or materials or property will be taken or retained by you after your employment terminates. The term “documents”
includes any record on any physical or electronic medium.


 


This obligation of
confidentiality and non-disclosure shall also apply to the content and substance of the Schedules to this Agreement, except that
the Schedules may be disclosed to your spouse, any attorney or financial/tax consultant from whom you seek advice. To the extent
that you disclose Schedules to your spouse, attorney, or financial/tax consultant, you shall advise said persons of the confidentiality
provisions of this Agreement, and any breach of the confidentiality provisions by said persons shall be deemed a breach by you
of this Agreement.


 


You acknowledge and
agree that the Company will be required to file, publicly, the text of this Agreement excluding the Schedules, and will be further
required to make public disclosures concerning the effects of this Agreement. Such disclosures will include, in some cases, information
from the Schedules. Without limiting the Company’s ability to make such required disclosures, they may arise in connection
with one or more Current Reports on Form 8-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and/or the 2022 Proxy
Statement. Your obligation of confidentiality and non-disclosure concerning the Schedules, if and when the Company makes such disclosures,
will no longer apply to any information made public by the Company.

MJB – SEPTEMBER 2021







    	 



    		 



    

This Section 4.B.
does not apply to any action brought by you to challenge the validity of this Agreement in a legal proceeding under the Older Workers
Benefit Protection Act with respect to claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.


 


	 	C.	Non-Disparagement


 


The Company (including
its subsidiaries) and you jointly and severally agree that: (i) neither will induce, undertake, implement, participate in, assist
in, nor encourage any activity or efforts to damage the reputation (business or personal) of the other; and (ii) neither will attempt
to adversely affect the other’s relationships with employees, Customers (defined in Section 4.D.), vendors, business partners,
or other individuals or entities. In addition, you agree that you will not induce, undertake, implement, participate in, assist
in, nor encourage any activity or efforts to damage the reputation (business or personal) of any officer, employee, director, customer,
vendor, or business partner of the Company or any subsidiary. However, any non-disparagement obligation of the Company arising
hereunder shall apply only to statements by an officer of the Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof), but not otherwise;
and, you will not be deemed in violation of your obligations provided for herein by reason of your engaging in any business or
investment activity not prohibited by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the prohibitions contained in Section 4.D.
below).


 


If a party hereto
(“aggrieved party”) believes that the other party (“defending party”) has violated this Section
4.C., the aggrieved party will provide the defending party with written notice of the aggrieved party’s belief that a violation
has occurred and a brief description of the action or event which allegedly occurred in violation of this Section. From the day
the notice is sent in accordance with this Agreement, the defending party will have twenty business days to cure the violation
to the reasonable satisfaction of the aggrieved party. The parties acknowledge and agree that although some violations cannot reasonably
be cured, the parties intend to cooperate with the objective of finding and implementing a satisfactory cure if one exists. Once
cured, that violation will be treated as if it had not occurred. As an example, if a violation consisted of a remark which the
defending party believed was published wrongly, incorrectly, or out of context, it may be possible, as a cure, for the defending
party to publicly repudiate the publication and correct the record using a method designed to achieve the same degree of publicity
as the original.

are contacted to participate in any way in any claim, investigation or litigation at any time, you agree to provide the Company
with prompt notice; and in no event shall such notice be delivered to the Company later than two (2) business days after receipt
by you. This section does not prohibit your participation as a witness if you are compelled to appear through an enforceable subpoena
or an enforceable court order, but it does require that you provide the Company with notice and the opportunity to object and/or
participate.


 


	9.	Remedies


 


You and the Company
acknowledge and agree that if either breaches or threatens to breach any of your or its respective obligations in this Agreement,
the non-breaching party, in addition to any other remedies available under the law, may seek, without posting bond or other similar
measures, specific performance and/or injunctive relief against the other to prevent such continued or threatened breach. In the
event any party (or any of the persons benefitted hereby) should incur any cost or expense to enforce its rights and remedies under
this Agreement, the prevailing party in such proceedings shall be entitled to recover all such costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorney’s fees, in enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement.


 


Moreover, you agree
that if you materially breach any of your obligations set forth in Section 4.B., 4.C., 4.D, or 4.E of this Agreement, the Company,
in addition to any other remedies available to it under the law, may require you to repay to the Company the value of all benefits
received under this Agreement and may cause any such benefits which then are unpaid to be cancelled and forfeited.


 


This Section does
not apply to any action brought by you to challenge the validity of this Agreement in a legal proceeding under the Older Workers
Benefit Protection Act with respect to claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

	10.	Return of Property, Information, and Documents


 


You agree that, to
the best of your knowledge and belief, on or before your End Date, you will return to the Company any and all documents belonging
to the Company, as well as any other tangible or intangible property, including information, which belongs to the Company, and
you will confirm to the Company at that time that no such property has knowingly been retained by you.


 


	11.	No Re-employment


 


You agree that you
will not seek re-employment or any contractual relationship with Company or its subsidiaries, divisions, partnerships, joint ventures,
or its affiliates, if any.


 


	12.	Binding Effect


 


Upon your signing
this Agreement, and after the expiration of seven (7) days, it will become effective and be binding upon each party and their respective
successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives, and affiliates; and will inure to the benefit of such persons and the Company’s
predecessors and each of their respective subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents, attorneys and representatives,
both past, present, or future. Upon its execution, this Agreement shall, except as provided herein or contemplated hereby, supersede
and render null and void any and all previous agreements, arrangements, or understandings between you and the Company pertaining
to the subject matter hereof.


 


	13.	Severability/Waivers 


 


If any provisions
of this Agreement are determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such determination will not affect the
validity of the remainder of the Agreement, including any other provision of the Agreement. If a court finds that any provision
of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that modification of such provision will make it valid or enforceable, then
such provision will be deemed to be so modified to the extent that the provision will achieve the economic, business or other purposes
of the void or unenforceable provision. The parties expressly authorize a court to blue pencil, strike through, or excise any provision(s)
or language such court may find void or unenforceable, and may fully enforce the remaining provisions of the Agreement. No waiver
of any term or condition of this Agreement or any part thereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other terms or conditions of this
Agreement or of any later breach of this Agreement.


 


	14.	Drafting


 


This Agreement is
a product of negotiations between the parties and in construing the provisions of this Agreement, no inference or presumption shall
be drawn against either party on the basis of which party or their attorneys drafted this Agreement.


 


	15.	Captions

various paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement.

	16.	Governing Law


 


This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana. The parties agree that any conflict
of law rule that might require reference to the laws of some jurisdiction other than Louisiana shall be disregarded. Each party
hereby agrees for itself and its properties that the U.S. federal district court sitting in the Eastern District of Louisiana shall
have sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or from the relationship
of the parties, or from your employment with the Company, or from the termination of your employment with the Company, whether
arising from contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, and hereby submits himself and itself, and his or its property, to the venue
and jurisdiction of such court.


 


	17.	No Precedent


 


The terms of this
Agreement will not establish any precedent, nor will this Agreement be used as a basis to seek or justify similar terms in any
subsequent situation involving persons other than you. This Agreement may not be offered, used, or admitted into evidence in any
proceeding or litigation, whether civil, criminal, arbitral or otherwise for such purpose. This Agreement may be introduced, however,
in any proceeding to enforce the Agreement.


 


	18.	Miscellaneous


 


Any notices hereunder
provided to you are effective if sent to the address of yours used by the Company, at the time the notice is sent, for purposes
of post-employment benefits. Any notices hereunder provided to the Company are effective if sent to the Company’s Chief Human
Resources Officer at the Company’s headquarters address publicly disclosed at that time.


 


You confirm that the
only consideration for your signing this Agreement are the terms set forth within it, and that no other promise or agreement of
any kind has been made to you by the Company or anyone acting by, for, or on its behalf.


 


YOU ALSO AFFIRM THAT BY THIS AGREEMENT YOU ARE HEREBY
