Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
            ------------------------------------------

         On October 10, 2006,  the Boards of  Directors  of Minden  Building and
Loan Association (the  "Association") and Minden Bancorp,  Inc. (the "Company"),
the   Association's   parent  holding  company,   approved  an  additional  cash
compensation arrangement for Director Michael S. Harper who was appointed to the
Boards of Directors of the  Association  and the Company  after grants were made
pursuant  to the  Company's  2003  Recognition  and  Retention  Plan  and  Trust
Agreement   (the  "RRP")  and  2003  Stock  Option  Plan  (the  "Option   Plan")
(collectively,  the  "Plans").  The  members  of the Board of  Directors  of the
Company as of the 2003  Annual  Meeting  received  awards of stock  options  and
restricted  stock  pursuant  to the Plans  that vest at the rate of 20% per year
commencing  on May  15,  2004  through  May  15,  2008.  The  cash  compensation
arrangement for Mr. Harper includes $7,875 to be paid no later than December 31,
2006.  Such amount was  calculated  based on the fair market value of a share of
Company  common stock on May 15, 2006 ($21.02) less $15.375 (the exercise  price
of the options  granted  under the Option Plan to each  individual  non-employee
director)  times 561 (the number of shares  subject to stock options that vested
for each  non-employee  director  on May 15,  2006),  and $21.02  times 224 (the
number of shares subject to RRP awards granted to each  individual  non-employee
director that vested on May 15, 2006).

         In addition, the Boards of Directors approved the payment to Mr. Harper
of additional cash  compensation  with the amounts to be paid being based on the
fair market  value of a share of the  Company's  common stock on each of May 15,
2007 and 2008,  respectively,  and  calculated  in the same manner as  described
above, provided Mr. Harper serves as a director for the full term of each of the
years then  ended.  The  payments  in 2007 and 2008 are to be made no later than
December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.  A copy of the letter from the Company
to Mr. Harper, dated October 11, 2006, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
