 2 

 provided, however, that prior to any termination of employment for Good Reason, the Executive must first
provide written notice to the Bank within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition, describing the existence of such condition, and the Bank shall thereafter have the right to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days
of the date the Bank received the written notice from the Executive. If the Bank remedies the condition within such thirty (30) cure period, then no Good Reason shall be deemed to exist with respect to such condition. 
 (j) IRS. IRS shall mean the Internal Revenue Service. 
 (k) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Bank for any reason, including without limitation for Cause, Disability or Retirement, or by the Executive for any

 (l) Retirement. “Retirement” shall means voluntary termination by the Executive which constitutes a retirement, including

 2. Term of Employment and Duties. 
 (a) The Bank hereby employs the Executive as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and the Executive hereby accepts said employment and agrees
to render such services to the Bank on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be and remain in effect during the period of three years beginning on July 9, 2007 (the
“Effective Date”) and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, plus such extensions, if any, as are provided pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof (the “Employment Period”). 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 2(c), and subject to the requirement below that the Board of Directors of the Bank determine at least annually
that continued extensions are appropriate, beginning on the Effective Date, on each day during the Employment Period, the Employment Period shall automatically be extended for one additional day, unless either the Bank, on the one hand, or the
Executive, on the other hand, elects not to extend the Agreement further by giving written notice thereof to the other party, in which case the Employment Period shall end on the third anniversary of the date on which such written notice is given.
At least annually, the Board of Directors of the Bank shall consider and review (with appropriate corporate documentation thereof, and taking into account all relevant factors) the Executive’s performance hereunder and whether the Employment
Period shall continue to be extended. If the Board of Directors determines at least annually that continued extensions of the Employment Period are appropriate, then the Employment Period shall continue to extend each day as set 

  

 3 

 
forth above. If the Board of Directors determines not to extend the Employment Period, it shall provide written notice to the Executive as set forth above.
Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Bank for any reason whatsoever, any daily extensions provided pursuant to this Section 2(b), if not theretofore discontinued, shall automatically cease. 
 (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Bank at any time from terminating the Executive’s employment during the Employment
Period for any reason, provided that the relative rights and obligations of the Bank and the Executive in the event of any such termination shall be determined under this Agreement. 
 (d) During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of the Bank and the
implementation of all accounting policies of the Bank. The Executive shall report directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. In addition, the Executive shall perform such executive services for the Bank as may be consistent
with his titles and from time to time assigned to him by the Bank’s Board of Directors. 
 3. Compensation and Benefits.

 (a) The Employers shall compensate and pay the Executive for his services during the term of this Agreement at a minimum base salary of
$78,931.44 per year (“Base Salary”), which may be increased from time to time in such amounts as may be mutually determined by the Boards of Directors of the Employers and may not be decreased without the Executive’s express written
consent. In addition to his Base Salary, the Executive shall be entitled to receive during the term of this Agreement such bonus payments as may be determined by the Boards of Directors of the Employers. 
 (b) During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in and receive the benefits of any pension or other retirement
benefit plan, profit sharing, stock option, employee stock ownership, or other plans, benefits and privileges given to employees and executives of the Employers, to the extent commensurate with his then duties and responsibilities, as fixed by the
Boards of Directors of the Employers, as well as his Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement with the Bank dated March 1, 2007. The Bank shall not make any changes in such plans, benefits or privileges which would adversely affect the
Executive’s rights or benefits thereunder, unless such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to all executive officers of the Bank and does not result in a proportionately greater adverse change in the rights of or benefits to the
Executive as compared with any other executive officer of the Bank. Nothing paid to the Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed to be in lieu of the salary payable to the Executive
pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof. 
 (c) During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to paid annual vacation in
accordance with the policies as established from time to time by the Boards of Directors of the Employers. The Executive shall not be entitled to receive any additional compensation from the Employers for failure to take a vacation, nor shall the
Executive be able 

  

 4 

 
to accumulate unused vacation time from one year to the next, except to the extent authorized by the Boards of Directors of the Employers. 
 (d) During the term of this Agreement, in keeping with past practices, the Employers shall continue to pay club dues and assessments for the Bissonet
Country Club on behalf of the Executive so that the Executive may use such club for business purposes. 
 (e) The Executive’s
compensation, benefits, severance and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation and the Bank in the same proportion as the time and services actually expended by the Executive on behalf of each respective Employer. No provision contained in this
Agreement shall require the Bank to pay any portion of the Executive’s compensation, benefits, severance and expenses required to be paid by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement or the agreement of even date being entered into between the
Corporation and the Executive. 
 4. Expenses. The Employers shall reimburse the Executive or otherwise provide for or pay for all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in furtherance of or in connection with the business of the Employers, including, but not by way of limitation, automobile expenses and traveling expenses, and all reasonable entertainment expenses
(whether incurred at the Executive’s residence, while traveling or otherwise), subject to such reasonable documentation and policies as may be established by the Boards of Directors of the Employers. If such expenses are paid in the first
instance by the Executive, the Employers shall reimburse the Executive therefor. 
 5. Termination. 
 (a) The Bank shall have the right, at any time upon prior Notice of Termination, to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason,
including without limitation termination for Cause, Disability or Retirement, and the Executive shall have the right, upon prior Notice of Termination, to terminate his employment hereunder for any reason. 
 (b) In the event that (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Bank for Cause or (ii) the Executive terminates his employment
hereunder other than for Disability, Retirement, death or Good Reason, the Executive shall have no right pursuant to this Agreement to compensation or other benefits for any period after the applicable Date of Termination. 
 (c) In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Disability, Retirement or the Executive’s death during the term
of this Agreement, the Executive shall have no right pursuant to this Agreement to compensation or other benefits for any period after the applicable Date of Termination. 
 (d) In the event that (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Bank for other than Cause, Disability, Retirement or the Executive’s death or (ii) such employment is terminated by the
Executive (a) due to a material breach of this Agreement by the Bank, which breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after a written notice of non-compliance has been given by the Executive to the Employers, or (b) for Good
Reason, then the Bank shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, if applicable, 
  

 5 

 (A) pay to the Executive, in a lump sum as of the Date of Termination, a cash severance amount equal to
three (3) times that portion of the Executive’s Annual Compensation paid by the Bank, 
 (B) maintain and provide for a period
ending at the earlier of (i) thirty-six (36) months after the Date of Termination or (ii) the date of the Executive’s full-time employment by another employer (provided that the Executive is entitled under the terms of such
employment to benefits substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph (B)), at no cost to the Executive, the Executive’s continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance, health and accident, disability and other
“employee welfare benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(l) of ERISA offered by the Bank in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (other than the continuation of any
vacation time, sick leave or similar leave), subject to subparagraphs (C) and (D) below, 
 (C) in the event that the
Executive’s participation in any plan, program or arrangement as provided in subparagraph (B) of this Section 5(d) is barred, or during such period any such plan, program or arrangement is discontinued or the benefits thereunder are
materially reduced, the Bank shall arrange to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive was entitled to receive under such plans, programs and arrangements immediately prior to the Date of Termination,
and 
 (D) any insurance premiums payable by the Bank pursuant to Section 5(d)(B) or (C) shall be payable at such times and in such
amounts as if the Executive was still an employee of the Bank, subject to any increases in such amounts imposed by the insurance company or COBRA, and the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Bank in any taxable year shall not
affect the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Bank in any other taxable year. 
 6. Limitation of Benefits under
Certain Circumstances. If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 5 hereof, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Bank, would constitute a “parachute
payment” under Section 280G of the Code, then the payments and benefits payable by the Bank pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits payable by
the Bank under Section 5 being non-deductible to the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. In no event shall the payments and benefits payable under
Section 5 exceed three times the Executive’s average taxable income from the Bank for the five calendar years preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, with any benefits to be provided subsequent to the Date of
Termination to be discounted to present value in accordance with Section 280G of the Code. If the payments and benefits under Section 5 are required to be reduced, the cash severance shall be reduced first, followed by a reduction in the
fringe benefits. The determination of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 5 shall be based upon the opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Bank and paid by the Bank. Such counsel shall promptly
prepare the foregoing opinion, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the Date of Termination, and may use such actuaries as such counsel deems 

  

 6 

 
necessary or advisable for the purpose. Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which the
Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment under any circumstances other than as specified in this Section 6, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 5 below zero. 
 7. Mitigation; Exclusivity of Benefits. 
 (a) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any such benefits be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result
of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination or otherwise, except as set forth in Section 5(d)(B) above. 
 (b) The
specific arrangements referred to herein are not intended to exclude any other benefits which may be available to the Executive upon a termination of employment with the Employers pursuant to employee benefit plans of the Employers or otherwise.

 8. Withholding. All payments required to be made by the Bank hereunder to the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such
amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Bank shall determine are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
 9. Assignability. The Bank may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation, bank or other entity with or into which the Bank may hereafter merge
or consolidate or to which the Bank may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said corporation, bank or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Bank hereunder as
fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder. 

10. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below:

 11. Amendment; Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and such officer or officers as may be specifically designated by the Board of Directors of the Bank to sign on its behalf. No waiver by any
party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at
the same or at any prior or subsequent time. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank may amend in good faith any terms of this Agreement, including retroactively, in order to comply with Section 409A of
the Code. 
 12. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the United States where applicable and otherwise by the substantive laws of the State of Louisiana. 
 13. Nature of
Obligations. Nothing contained herein shall create or require the Bank to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which may be payable hereunder, and to the extent that the Executive acquires a right to receive benefits from the Bank
hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Bank. 
 14. Headings. The section
headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 15. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force
and effect. 
 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 17. Regulatory Actions. The following provisions
shall be applicable to the parties to the extent that they are required to be included in employment agreements between a savings bank and its employees pursuant to Section 563.39(b) of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) Rules
and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. §563.39(b), or any successor thereto, and shall be controlling in the event of a conflict with any other provision of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5 hereof. 
 (a) If the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs pursuant to
notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or Section 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”)(12 U.S.C. §§1818(e)(3) and 1818(g)(1)), the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the
date of 

  

 8 

 
service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may, in its discretion: (i) pay the Executive
all or part of the compensation withheld while its obligations under this Agreement were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended. 
 (b) If the Executive is removed from office and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued
under Section 8(e)(4) or Section 8(g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §§1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the Executive
and the Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected. 
 (c) If the Bank is in default, as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the
FDIA (12 U.S.C. §1813(x)(1)), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but vested rights of the Executive and the Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected. 
 (d) All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §563.39(b)(5), except to the extent that it is determined that
continuation of the Agreement for the continued operation of the Bank is necessary: (i) by the Director of the OTS, or his/her designee, at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) enters into an agreement to
provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §1823(c)); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS, or his/her designee, at the time the Director or his/her designee
approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director of the OTS to be in an unsafe or unsound condition, but vested rights of the Executive and the Employers as of the date
of termination shall not be affected. 
 18. Regulatory Prohibition. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §1828(k)) and 12 C.F.R. Part 359. 
 19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the Bank and the Executive with respect to the matters agreed to
herein. All prior agreements between the Bank and the Executive with respect to the matters agreed to herein are hereby superseded and shall have no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the
agreement of even date being entered into between the Corporation and the Executive.
