(a) Not applicable.

(b) On January 13, 2010, the Board of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”) accepted the resignation of Henry M. Hearne as a director of the Company and the Bank.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Effective as of January 13, 2010 (“Effective Date”), the Board of Directors of the Bank approved an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with James R. Barlow. The Agreement amends and restates the employment agreement between Mr. Barlow and the Bank dated February 21, 2009. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Barlow will serve as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Bank for a term of three years commencing upon the Effective Date and renewable on the first annual anniversary of February 21, 2010 (“Renewal Date”). On each annual anniversary date of the Renewal Date, the term of the Agreement is extended for an additional year unless the Bank or the executive gives notice to the other party not to extend the Agreement. At least annually, the Board of Directors of the Bank will consider whether to continue to renew the Agreement. The Agreement provides for an initial base salary of $155,000 per year for Mr. Barlow. Such base salary may be increased at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Bank but may not be decreased during the term of the Agreement without the prior written consent of Mr. Barlow. The Bank also agreed to provide Mr. Barlow with an automobile during the term of the Agreement.

The Agreement is terminable with or without cause by the Bank. The Agreement provides that in the event of involuntary termination of employment by the Bank other than for cause, disability, retirement or death, or following a change in control, or voluntary termination by Mr. Barlow for "good reason" which includes a material breach of the Agreement by the Bank or a material diminution in the executive's base compensation, authorities, duties or responsibilities without his consent, Mr. Barlow would be entitled to (1) an amount of cash severance which is equal to three times the sum of his base salary as of the date of termination plus his prior calendar year's bonus and (2) continued participation in certain employee benefit plans of the Bank until the earlier of 36 months or the date the executive receives substantially similar benefits from full-time employment with another employer. The Agreement with the Bank provides that in the event any of the payments to be made thereunder or otherwise upon termination of employment are deemed to constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then such payments and benefits received thereunder shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits being non-deductible by the Bank for federal income tax purposes.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference thereto.
