<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;16,
2005, the shareholders of International Bancshares Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;),
upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company, approved and
adopted the 2005 International Bancshares Corporation Stock Option Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;).&#160; The Plan became effective on April&nbsp;1,
2005, the date it was approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Company, upon such shareholder approval.&#160;
The Plan replaces the 1996 International Bancshares Corporation Stock
Option Plan (the &#147;1996 Plan&#148;), which will be terminated, for purposes of granting
further options.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The purpose of
the Plan is to increase the interest of officers, employees, consultants and
advisors of the Company in its future growth and success through the added
incentive created by the opportunity afforded for stock ownership under the
Plan.&#160; The Company, through the Plan,
seeks to motivate officers, employees, consultants and advisors and to attract
highly competent individuals whose judgment, initiative and continuing effort
will contribute to the success of the Company.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Plan
provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock
options.&#160; The Stock Option Plan Committee
of the Board of Directors administers the Plan and determines the terms and
conditions under which options to purchase shares of common stock of the
Company may be awarded.&#160; The aggregate
number of shares of common stock of the Company that may be issued pursuant to
the Plan is 380,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. &#160;&#160;Further, the maximum number of shares of
common stock covered by options which may be granted to any one person in any
fiscal year is 75,000 shares, also subject to adjustment as provided in the
Plan.</font></p>

replaces the 1996 Plan, which the Board of Directors has determined to be
terminated for purposes of granting further options, upon shareholder approval
of the Plan. &#160;The 1996 Plan otherwise
would have expired according to its terms on April&nbsp;3, 2006. &#160;As of April&nbsp;1, 2005, options for up to
approximately 383,400 shares of stock remained eligible for grant under the
1996 Plan. &#160;The adoption of the Plan will
not affect the terms of any outstanding options under the 1996 Plan, and such
outstanding options will continue to be governed by the terms of the 1996 Plan.</font></p>
