Form of Restricted Stock Agreement



 Exhibit 10.1 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT 
 UNDER THE IBERIABANK CORPORATION 
 2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 THIS
INCENTIVE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of GRANT DATE, between IBERIABANK Corporation (“IBKC”) and RECIPIENT (the “Award Recipient”). 
 WHEREAS, under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee of the IBKC Board of Directors (the
“Committee”) may, among other things, award shares of common stock of IBKC (the “Common Stock”) in the form of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”) to a key employee of IBKC or one of its subsidiaries (collectively,
the “Company”); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, it is agreed as follows: 
 1. Conditional Award of Restricted Stock 
 Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Award Recipient is hereby awarded, subject to the other terms, conditions, and restrictions contained herein, SHARES GRANTED shares of Restricted Stock. 
 2. Award Restrictions 
 2.1 The shares
of Restricted Stock and the right to vote them and to receive dividends thereon may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered until such time as the shares vest and the restrictions imposed thereon
lapse, as provided below. 
 2.2 The shares of Restricted Stock issued to the Award Recipient will vest and the restrictions imposed thereon
will lapse as to one-seventh of the shares of Restricted Stock on each of the first through seventh anniversaries of the date of this Agreement; provided that on each vesting date if a fraction of a share would vest, a whole share shall vest in lieu
thereof and on the last date the number of shares that vest will be the total number of shares awarded less the total number of shares previously vested; and provided further that on the applicable vesting date the Award Recipient is in the employ
of IBKC. The period during which the restrictions imposed on the shares of Restricted Stock by the Plan and this Agreement are in effect is referred to herein as the “Restricted Period.” During the Restricted Period, the Award Recipient
shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of IBKC, including the right to vote such shares of Restricted Stock and to receive dividends thereon. 
 2.3 All restrictions on the Restricted Stock issued to the Award Recipient shall immediately lapse and the shares shall vest (a) if the Award Recipient dies while he is employed by the Company, or (b) if the
Award Recipient becomes disabled, which means any physical or mental impairment which qualifies the Award Recipient for disability benefits under the applicable long-term disability plan maintained by the Company or, if no such plan applies, which
would qualify such Award Recipient for disability benefits under the Federal Social Security System. Upon the termination of the Award Recipient’s service to the Company, for any reason, other than death or disability, the Award Recipient shall
forfeit his or her Restricted Stock. 







 3. Stock Certificates 
 3.1 Certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Award Recipient and deposited with IBKC, together with a
stock power endorsed in blank by the Award Recipient, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each such certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 The transferability of this certificate and the shares of Common Stock represented by it is subject to the terms and conditions (including conditions of
forfeiture) contained in the IBERIABANK Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and an agreement between the registered owner and IBERIABANK Corporation thereunder. Copies of the Plan and the agreement are on file and available
for inspection at the principal office of IBERIABANK Corporation. 
 3.2 Upon the lapse of restrictions on any shares of Restricted Stock
issued to the Award Recipient, IBKC shall cause a stock certificate without a restrictive legend representing such shares of Restricted Stock to be issued in the name of the Award Recipient or his nominee within 30 days after the end of the
Restricted Period. Upon receipt of such stock certificate, the Award Recipient is free to hold or dispose of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate subject to applicable securities laws. 
 4. Dividends 
 Any dividends paid on
the shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Award Recipient shall be paid to the Award Recipient as soon as practicable following the date such dividends are declared and paid to the Company’s shareholders. 
 5. Withholding Taxes 
 5.1 IBKC shall
have the right to withhold from any payments or stock issuances under the Plan, or to collect as a condition of payment, any taxes required by law to be withheld. By signing this Award Agreement, the Award Participant agrees that he or she is solely
responsible for the satisfaction of any taxes that may arise (including taxes arising under Sections 409A or 4999 of the Code) and that IBKC shall not have any obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes. 
 5.2 Award Recipient may, but is not required to, satisfy his or her withholding tax obligation in whole or in part by electing (the “Election”)
to have IBKC withhold, from the shares he or she otherwise would receive, shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. The value of the shares to be withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld shall be determined (the “Tax Date”). Each Election must be made prior to the Tax Date. The Committee may disapprove of any Election, may suspend or terminate the right to
make Elections, or may provide with respect to any Restricted Stock that the right to make Elections shall not apply to such Restricted Stock.

 6. Additional Conditions 
 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time IBKC further determines, in its sole discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification (or any updating of any document) of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant hereto is necessary on any securities exchange or under any federal or state securities or blue sky law, or that the consent or
approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, or the removal or any restrictions imposed on such shares, such shares of Common
Stock shall not be issued, in whole or in part, or the restrictions thereon removed, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to IBKC.

 7. No Contract of Employment Intended 
 Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Award Recipient any right to continue in the employment of the Company or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Award Recipient’s
employment relationship with the Company at any time. 
 8. Binding Effect 
 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and successors.

 9. Inconsistent Provisions 
 The shares of Restricted Stock covered hereby are subject to the provisions of the Plan. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with a provision of the Plan, the Plan provision shall control. 
 10. Designation of Beneficiary 
 The
Award Recipient may expressly designate beneficiary to his or her interest (the “Beneficiary”), if any, to this Agreement by completing and executing a designation of beneficiary agreement substantially in the form attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit B (the “Designation of Beneficiary”) and delivering an executed copy of the Designation of Beneficiary to IBKC.

party hereto, specify a new address for delivery of notices relating to this Agreement. Any such notice shall be deemed to be given as of the date such notice is personally delivered or properly mailed. 
 12. Modifications 
 This Agreement may
be modified or amended at any time, provided that Award Recipient must consent in writing to any modification that adversely alters or impairs any rights or obligations under this Agreement. 
 13. Headings

reference purposes only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 14. Severability 
 Every provision of this Agreement and of the Plan is intended to be severable. If any term hereof is
illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity or legality of the remaining terms of this Award Agreement. 
 15. Governing Law 
 The laws of the State of Louisiana shall govern the validity of this Agreement,
the construction of its terms, and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties hereto. 
 16. Counterparts 

This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  
 17. Restrictions on Transfer

 This Agreement may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Committee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Award Recipient may transfer this Agreement (i) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust (or other entity) in which each beneficiary is a permissible gift recipient, as such is set forth in subsection
