AMENDED CHANGE IN CONTROL
SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
  THIS
AMENDED CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of this 21st day of
April, 2009, by and between HOME FEDERAL BANK (which, together with any
successor thereto which executes and delivers the assumption agreement provided
for in Section 5(a) hereof or which otherwise becomes bound by all of the terms
and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law, is hereinafter referred to
as the "Savings Bank"), and Eric S. Nadeau (the "Employee").
  WHEREAS,
the Employee is currently serving as Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer; and
  WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Savings Bank (the "Board") recognizes that the
possibility of a change in control of the Savings Bank or of its holding
company, Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) may
exist and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may
raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of key
management to the detriment of the Savings Bank, the Company and its
stockholders; and
  WHEREAS,
the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Savings Bank to enter into
this Agreement with the Employee in order to assure continuity of management of
the Savings Bank and to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and
dedication of the Employee to the Employee's assigned duties without distraction
in the face of potentially disruptive circumstances arising from the possibility
of a change in control of the Company and/or the Savings Bank, although no such
change is now contemplated; and
  WHEREAS,
it is necessary to amend this Agreement to reflect a change in the Severance
Benefits to be provided under this Agreement; and
  WHEREAS,
the Board has approved and authorized the execution of this Agreement with the
Employee;
  NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and
agreements of the parties herein, it is AGREED as follows:
  1.            Certain
Definitions.
  (a)            The
term "Change in Control" means (i) any "person," as such term is used in

Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing

  provided that any provided that
   (b)            The
term "Commencement Date" means June 5, 2008, the original effective date of this
Agreement.
  (c)            The
term "Consolidated Subsidiaries" means any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the
Company (or its successors) that are part of the affiliated group (as defined in
Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
without regard to subsection (b) thereof) that includes the Savings Bank,
including but not limited to the Company.
  (d)            The
term "Date of Termination" means the date upon which the Employee ceases to
serve as an employee of the Savings Bank.
  (e)            The
term "Involuntary Termination" means the termination of the employment of
Employee (i) by the Savings Bank, without the Employee's express written
consent; or (ii) by the Employee by reason of a material diminution of or
interference with his duties, responsibilities or benefits, including (without
limitation) if the termination of employment is within 30 days of any of the
following actions unless consented to in writing by the Employee: (1) a
requirement that the Employee be based at any place other than Nampa, Idaho, or
within a radius of 35 miles from the location of the Savings Bank's
administrative offices as of the Commencement Date, except for reasonable travel
on Company or Savings Bank business; (2) a material demotion of the Employee;
(3) a material reduction in the number or seniority of personnel reporting to
the Employee or a material reduction in the frequency with which, or in the
nature of the matters with respect to which such personnel are to report to the
Employee, other than as part of a Savings Bank- or Company-wide reduction
in
   2
 
  staff;
(4) a reduction in the Employee's salary or a material adverse change in the
Employee's perquisites, benefits, contingent benefits or vacation, other than as

members of the senior management of the Savings Bank; (5) a material permanent
increase in the required hours of work or the workload of the Employee; or (6)
any purported termination of the Employee's employment, except for Termination

term "Involuntary Termination" does not include Termination for Cause,
retirement or suspension or temporary or permanent prohibition from
participation in the conduct of the Savings Bank's affairs under Section 8 of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA").
  (f)            The
terms "Termination for Cause" and "Terminated for Cause" mean termination of the
employment of the Employee because of the Employee's personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of a fiduciary duty involving personal
profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any
law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or
final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of this
Agreement. No act or failure to act by the Employee shall be considered willful
unless the Employee acted or failed to act with an absence of good faith and
without a reasonable belief that his action or failure to act was in the best
interest of the Company or the Savings Bank. The Employee shall not be deemed to
have been Terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered
to the Employee a copy of a resolution, duly adopted by the Board of Directors
at a meeting of the Board duly called and held for such purpose (after
reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee, together
with the Employee's counsel, to be heard before the Board), stating that in the
good faith opinion of the Board of Directors the Employee has engaged in conduct
described in the preceding sentence and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.
  2.         Term.  The
initial term of this Agreement shall be a period of one year, commencing on the
Commencement Date, subject to earlier termination as provided herein (the
“Initial Term”). Beginning on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date,
the term of this Agreement shall be extended for a period of two years, provided that prior
to the end of such two-year term, the Board of Directors, or a committee of the
Board of Directors which has been delegated authority to act on such matters by
the Board of Directors (“Committee”), explicitly reviews and approves the
extension (the “Second Term”).  Assuming the Employee’s employment has
not been previously terminated, on the third anniversary of the Commencement
Date, and on each anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be
extended for a period of one year, provided that prior
to such anniversary, the Board of Directors, or the Committee, explicitly
reviews and approves the extension (an “Extended Term”).
  3.           Severance
Benefits.
  (a)            If
after a Change in Control, the Savings Bank shall terminate the Employee's
employment other than Termination for Cause, or employment is terminated in the
event of Involuntary Termination by the Employee, within 12 months following a
Change in Control, the Savings Bank shall (i) pay the Employee his salary,
including the pro rata portion of any incentive award, through the Date of
Termination; (ii) continue to pay for the life, health and disability coverage
that is in effect with respect to the Employee and his/her eligible
  3
 
  dependents
for (a) one year, if the Involuntary Termination occurs during the Initial Term
or (b) two years if the Involuntary Termination occurs during the Second Term or
(c) three years if the Involuntary Termination occurs during an Extended Term;
and (iii) pay to the Employee in a lump sum in cash, within 25 business days
after the later of the date of such Change in Control or the Date of
Termination, (a) an amount equal to one year’s Salary as in effect immediately
prior to the Date of Termination if the Involuntary Termination occurs during
the First Term, or (b) if the Involuntary Termination occurs during the Second
Term, an amount equal to two times the Employee’s Salary as in effect
immediately prior to the Date of Termination, or (c) if the Involuntary
Termination occurs during an Extended Term, an amount equal to 299% of the
Employee's "base amount" as determined under Section 280G of the Code; provided,
however, that no payment shall be made under this Section 3(a) that would cause
the Savings Bank to be "undercapitalized" for purposes of 12 C.F.R. 565.4 or any
successor provision.
  (b)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if payments and the value of benefits
received or to be received under this Agreement, together with any other amounts
and the value of benefits received or to be received by the Employee, would
cause any amount to be nondeductible by the Company or any of the Consolidated
Subsidiaries for federal income tax purposes pursuant to or by reason of Section
280G of the Code, then payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be
reduced (not less than zero) to the extent necessary so as to maximize amounts
and the value of benefits to be received by the Employee without causing any
amount to become nondeductible pursuant to or by reason of Section 280G of the
Code. The Employee shall determine the allocation of such reduction among
payments and benefits to the Employee.
  (c)            The
Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit
provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement be
reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as the result of employment
by another employer, by retirement benefits after the Date of Termination or
otherwise. This Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose
on the Company or the Savings Bank any obligation to retain the Employee, to
change the status of the Employee's employment, or to change the Company's or
the Savings Bank's policies regarding termination of employment.
  4.  Attorneys' Fees. If
the Employee is purportedly Terminated for Cause and the Savings Bank denies
payments and/or benefits under Section 3(a) of this Agreement on the basis that
the Employee experienced Termination for Cause, but it is determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 12 that cause
as contemplated by Section 1(f) of this Agreement did not exist for termination
of the Employee's employment, or if in any event it is determined by any such
court or arbitrator that the Savings Bank has failed to make timely payment of
any amounts or provision of any benefits owed to the Employee under this
Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable
costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred in challenging such termination of
employment or collecting such amounts or benefits. Such reimbursement shall be
in addition to all rights to which the Employee is otherwise entitled under this
Agreement.
  5.  No
Assignments.
   4
  (a)            This
Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and neither party may
assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without first
obtaining the written consent of the other party; provided, however,
that the Savings Bank shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Savings Bank, by
an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Employee, to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Savings Bank would be required to perform it if no such
succession or assignment had taken place. Failure of the Savings Bank to obtain
such an assumption agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession
or assignment shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Employee
to compensation and benefits from the Savings Bank in the same amount and on the
same terms that Employee would be entitled to hereunder if an event of
Involuntary Termination occurred, in addition to any payments and benefits to
which the Employee is entitled under Section 3 hereof. For purposes of
implementing the provisions of this Section 5(a), the date on which any such
succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of
Termination.
  (b)            This
Agreement and all rights of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Employee's personal and legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees. In the event of the death of the Employee, unless otherwise provided
herein, all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid to the Employee's devisee,
legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Employee's
estate.
  6.  Referred Payments. If
following a termination of the Employee, the aggregate payments to be made by
the Savings Bank under this Agreement and all other plans or arrangements
maintained by the Company or any of the Consolidated Subsidiaries would exceed
the limitation on deductible compensation contained in Section 162(m) of the
Code in any calendar year, any such amounts in excess of such limitation shall
be mandatorily deferred with interest thereon at 8.0% per annum to a calendar
year such that the amount to be paid to the Employee in such calendar year,
including defer ed amounts, does not exceed such limitation.
  7.  Required
Provisions.
  (a)  If the
Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the
conduct of the Savings Bank's affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3)
or (g)(1) of the
FDIA,12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1), the Savings Bank's obligations
under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed
by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the
Savings Bank may in its discretion (i) pay the Employee all or part of the
payments under this Agreement that were withheld while its obligations under
this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate in whole or in part any of its
obligations which were suspended.

Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the
conduct of the Savings Bank's affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4)

Savings Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the FDIA), all
obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but
this provision shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting

obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent
determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the continued
operation of the Savings Bank: (1) by the Director of the OTS (the "Director")
or his or her designee, at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide
assistance to or on behalf of the Savings Bank under the authority contained in
Section 13(c) of the FDIA; or (2) by the Director or his or her designee, at the
time the Director or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to

by any such action.
