 in the election of directors.

Under our articles of incorporation, subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having preference over our common stock, any vacancy occurring in our board of directors, including any vacancy created by reason of an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors, whether or not a quorum is present. Any director so chosen to fill a vacancy will hold office until the term of the class to which he was appointed shall expire and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Our articles of incorporation also provide that, subject to the rights of the holder of any class or series of stock having preference over our common stock, any director may be removed by shareholders without cause by the affirmative vote of at least 75% of all outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, and may be removed with cause only upon the vote of at least a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by shareholders. Cause for removal will be deemed to exist only if the director in question:

• convicted of a felony or an offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

• deemed liable by a court of competent jurisdiction for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of duties to Home Bancorp.

#### Limitation on Voting Rights
. Article 10.A of our articles of incorporation provides that no person shall directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of (i) more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of an equity security of Home Bancorp, or (ii) any securities convertible into, or exercisable for, any equity securities of Home Bancorp if, assuming conversion or exercise by such person of all securities of which such person is the beneficial owner which are convertible into, or exercisable for, such equity securities (but of no securities convertible into, or exercisable for, such equity securities of which such person is not the beneficial owner), such person would be the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of an equity security of the Company. The term “person” is broadly defined to prevent circumvention of this restriction.

The foregoing restrictions do not apply to (i) any offer with a view toward public resale made exclusively to Home Bancorp by underwriters or a selling group acting on its behalf, (ii) any tax-qualified employee benefit plan or arrangement established by us and any trustee of such a plan or arrangement, and (iii)
