(e)      Entry into Employment Agreement

     On February 23, 2010,  OmniAmerican  Bank (the  "Bank"),  the  wholly-owned
subsidiary of OmniAmerican  Bancorp,  Inc. (the "Company"),  and Tim Carter, the
Company and the Bank's  President and Chief  Executive  Officer,  entered into a
three-year  employment agreement that is renewable annually in the discretion of
the Bank's board of directors ("Board") so that the remaining term will continue
to be three years,  unless notice of non-renewal of the employment  agreement is
given to Mr.  Carter by the Board.  The  Company  has  executed  the  employment
agreement to guarantee the Bank's financial  performance  thereunder.  Under the
employment  agreement,  the initial base salary for Mr. Carter is $450,000.  The
base salary  will be reviewed  annually.  In  addition to the base  salary,  the
agreement provides for, among other things,  participation in bonus programs and
other employee benefits applicable to all executive  employees.  In the event of
Mr.  Carter's  termination  without  cause or  resignation  for good  reason (as
defined in the employment agreement) at any time under the employment agreement,
including  such  termination  following  a change  in  control,  the  employment
agreement  provides a lump sum  severance  benefit for Mr. Carter equal to three
times  the sum of his (i)  base  salary  and  (ii)  average  rate of  bonus  (or
following a change in control,  his highest rate of bonus) paid during the three
years prior to his  termination.  In  addition,  Mr.  Carter will be entitled to
continued life insurance and health insurance coverage for three years following
his termination,  as provided in the employment  agreement.  In the event of Mr.
Carter's  termination  of  employment  for  cause,  no  benefit  will be paid or
provided to Mr. Carter under his employment agreement.  The employment agreement
also contains a non-compete  and  non-solicitation  agreement  that prevents Mr.
Carter from  soliciting  officers or employees of the Bank or competing with the
Bank (other than following a change in control) for a two-year period  following
his termination of employment.

     The foregoing  description of the employment  agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the  employment  agreement  that is attached  hereto as
Exhibit  10.1  of this  Current  Report  on Form  8-K,  and is  incorporated  by
reference into this Item 5.02.
