EXHIBIT 10.1 HOME BANK 2005 DIRECTORS’ DEFERRAL PLAN
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of
Home Bank (the “Bank”) on December 22, 2008, has
approved the adoption of the Home Bank 2005 Directors’
Deferral Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “Benefit
Plan”) effective as of January 1, 2005, to allow eligible
Directors (as defined below) the opportunity to participate in the
Benefit Plan and defer all or a portion of their directors’
fees in accordance herewith. It is the intent of the Bank
that this Benefit Plan be considered an unfunded arrangement
maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits
and to be considered a non-qualified benefit plan for purposes of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”).
Eligibility to participate in the Benefit Plan shall be
open to employee and non-employee members of the Board of Directors
of the Bank who are selected by the Board of Directors and
designated in resolutions of the Board to become a participant in
this Benefit Plan (hereinafter referred to as a
“Director”).
A. Beneficiary:
A Director shall have the right to name a Beneficiary of the
death benefit as described in Paragraph IX hereinbelow. The
Director shall have the right to name such Beneficiary at any time
prior to the Director’s death and submit it to the Plan
Administrator (or Plan Administrator’s representative) on the
form provided. Once received and acknowledged by the Plan
Administrator, the form shall be effective. The Director may change
the Beneficiary designation at any time by submitting a new form to
the Plan Administrator. Any such change shall follow the same rules
as for the original Beneficiary designation and shall automatically
supersede the existing Beneficiary form on file with the Plan
Administrator. If the Director names someone other than his
or her spouse as a Beneficiary, a spousal consent, in the form
designated by the Plan Administrator, must be signed by that
Director’s spouse and returned to the Plan Administrator.
If the Director dies without a valid Beneficiary designation
on file with the Plan Administrator, the death benefits shall be
paid to the Director’s spouse, or if none, to his estate.
1
If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a
benefit is to be paid to a minor, to a person declared incompetent,
or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that
person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct
distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative
or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent
person or incapable person. The Plan Administrator may require
proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem
appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any
distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the account
of the Director and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall
be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for
such distribution amount.

|
“Change in Control” shall mean a change in the
ownership of Home Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) or the
Bank, a change in the effective control of the Company or the Bank
or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets
of the Company or the Bank, in each case as provided under Section
409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
|
“Disability” shall mean a Director (i) is
unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of
any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can
be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than twelve months; or (ii) is, by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last
for a continuous period of not less than twelve months, receiving
income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three
months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the
Bank (or would have received such benefits for at least three
months if the Director had been eligible to participate in such
plan).
D. Fees: The
Fees eligible to be deferred under this Benefit Plan shall be any
and all amounts paid to the Director for the Director’s
services as a director, including, but not limited to, annual fees,
meeting fees, and committee fees. The Fees deferred under this
Benefit Plan shall be credited to an account established for the
Director, subject to the election requirement of Paragraph IV.
E. Plan
Year: A “Plan Year” shall mean January 1st
through December 31st.
F. Separation
from Service: “Separation from Service” shall
mean a termination of the Director’s services (whether as an
employee or as an independent contractor) to the Bank (including
companies which are deemed to be part of a controlled group of
corporations with the Bank for purposes of Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-1(h)) for any reason other than death or
Disability. Whether a Separation from Service has
occurred shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code based on whether the facts and
circumstances indicate that the Company, the Bank and the Director
reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed
after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the
Director would perform after such date (whether as an employee or
as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more
than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide
services performed (whether as an employee or an independent
contractor) over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month
period. 2
“Specified Employee” shall mean a key
employee as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard
to Section 416(i)(5) of the Code) and as otherwise defined in
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
III. DEFERRALS A
Director may elect to defer up to one hundred percent (100%) of the
Director’s Fees each year while rendering services to the
Bank as a director.
IV. DEFERRAL AND PAYMENT
ELECTIONS With respect to each Plan Year in which a Director
desires to defer Fees, the Director shall file a deferral election
form for the Fees to be deferred. Such form shall be
filed with the Plan Administrator no later than the end of the Plan
Year immediately preceding the Plan Year during which services will
be performed for Fees deferred, and is effective only to defer Fees
that have not yet been earned by the Director. Deferral
elections, once made, are irrevocable for the Plan Year in which
the Fees are to be deferred. At the time of a
Director’s initial deferral election, such Director shall
also elect the time and form of payment of his Director Deferred
Compensation Account (i.e., lump sum or a number of annual
installments not to exceed ten (10) annual installments), on a form
provided by the Bank.
A. Initial Deferral
Election(s): Upon notification of eligibility to participate
in this Benefit Plan during the initial Plan Year, and if the
Director elects to defer Fees, the Director shall deliver to the
Plan Administrator:
(a) a
deferral election form, signed and dated;
(b) a
Beneficiary form, signed and dated; and
(c) a
payment election form, signed and dated. The Director shall
deliver such forms to the Plan Administrator within thirty (30)
days of notification of eligibility, and shall set forth on the
forms the amount of fees to be deferred. 3
B. Transitional
Elections Prior to 2009. On or before December 31, 2008,
if a Director wishes to change his payment election with respect to
amounts previously deferred, the Director may do so by completing a
payment election form approved by the Plan Administrator, provided
that any such election (i) must be made at least 12 months before
the date on which benefit payments due to a Separation from Service
or upon a fixed date are scheduled to commence, (ii) must be made
before the Director has a Separation from Service or a termination
of employment or service due to death or Disability,
(iii) shall not take effect before the date that is
12 months after the date the election is made and accepted by
the Plan Administrator with respect to payments to be made due to a
Separation from Service or upon a fixed date, (iv) does not cause a
payment that would otherwise be made in the year of the election to
be delayed to a later year, and (v) does not accelerate into the
year in which the election is made a payment that is otherwise
scheduled to be made in a later year.
C. Changes
in Payment Elections after 2008. On or after January 1,
2009, if a Director wishes to change his payment election, the
Director may do so by completing a payment election form approved
by the Plan Administrator, provided that any such election (1) must
be made at least 12 months before the date on which benefit
payments due to a Separation from Service or upon a fixed date are
scheduled to commence, (2) must be made before the Director has a
Separation from Service or a termination of service due to death or
Disability, (3) shall not take effect before the date that is
12 months after the date the election is made by the Director
and accepted by the Plan Administrator, and (4) for payments to be
made other than upon death or Disability, must provide an
additional deferral period of at least five years from the date
such payment would otherwise have been made (or in the case of any
installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from
the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid). For
purposes of this Benefit Plan and clause (4) above, all installment
payments under this Benefit Plan shall be treated as a single
payment.
V. CREDITS
The Bank shall establish a bookkeeping account for each Director
(hereinafter referred to as the “Deferred Compensation
Account”) which shall be credited on the dates such Fees
would otherwise have been paid with the percentage that the
Director elected to have deferred on the deferral election form, in
addition to any Bank contributions made to the Benefit Plan.
Investment earnings on the Director’s Deferred
Compensation Account shall be calculated at an annual fixed
interest rate equal to the interest rate for the two year Treasury
Bill as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first Thursday
of December to be applied for the subsequent plan
year. Should the first Thursday in December be a
holiday, the rate in effect as of the first previous Friday (or the
next day prior to that which is not a holiday) will be the rate
used. Earnings will be calculated and credited on the
Bank’s books monthly. Each Director’s Deferred
Compensation Account will be created at the Bank and will be
credited with the earning rate as stated herein or as set by the
Board each year. This rate will be applied to the entire average
daily balance in the Director’s Deferred Compensation
Account, calculated as of the end of each month, using the actual
number of days per month and 365 days annually. For the 2005, 2006,
2007 and 2008 Plan Years, the fixed crediting rate was 3.04%,
4.45%, 4.58% and 3.03%, respectively. For the Plan Year
beginning January 1, 2009, the fixed crediting rate will be 0.82%.

be entitled to payment of his Deferred Compensation Account as of
